Chapter 86: Contribution
She only kept a small portion of the snacks she bought for herself and gave the rest to the two maids. "Go down and divide them slowly."
"Thank you, Miss!"
The two girls happily left. The lady was so generous that she gave them two large packages of snacks. There were so many that they could share them with their friends. They couldn't eat these snacks on weekdays.
"Mom, let's eat dumplings tonight. Didn't Zhuangzi kill a pig? Let's make cabbage and meat dumplings. We can make them ourselves."
I haven't eaten it for a long time, and I miss it.
"Okay, Guan, go prepare it and bring it into the main room to wrap it up. It's warm."
"Yes."
Guan kneaded the dough and chopped the stuffing before bringing it in for them to wrap.
It was placed on the coffee table in the main room, and the chopping board, rolling pin and comb were placed on a low table next to it.
Everything is ready, let's start making dumplings! Wang rolled out the dough and made the dumplings with millet.
First, divide the dough into small pieces, and then use the palm of your hand to roll each piece of dough into a round shape. Next, use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a thin skin.
Xiaomi stuffed the dumpling skin with stuffing. Finally, pinch the edge of the dumpling tightly, and the dumpling looks plump and has a beautiful shape.
"I am coming too."
Lin Dashan watched for a while and then turned around to wash his hands. He also knew how to make dumplings, and he made them very well.
The three people cooperated well with each other, and it didn't take long before the two dumplings were made.
Guan carefully took the comb and handed it to the kitchen to cook dumplings.
The hot dumplings came out of the pot, and the white and tender dumplings in the bowl exuded an attractive aroma. The thin dumpling skin wrapped the delicious meat filling. Xiaomi picked up a dumpling and took a bite, and his mouth was full of the delicious meat filling.
"It's delicious, Mom and Dad, eat quickly!"
Wang took a bite and exclaimed, "Delicious!"
Lin Dashan said with a smile: "It's flour and meat, how can it not be delicious? Eat more! The same goes for millet!"
The whole family sat around the small coffee table and ate with gusto.
Lin Dashan drank three big bowls in a row before he touched his stomach in satisfaction.
Lin Xiaomi smacked her lips. Oh my god, her father must have made at least 60 dumplings. Awesome!
"If you like it, you can make it another day. What if you eat so much and get sick?" Wang blamed.
"It's so delicious, I couldn't control myself for a moment, I'll just walk around for a while, it's okay."
He stood up and walked around the main room. Xiaomi looked at her father, speechless. He was so old, but he managed to hold himself up.
"Master, when the fourth son gets married, how should we give the gift money?"
She has been struggling with this for the past few days. On the day of the engagement banquet, her mother-in-law met her alone and hinted that they were the eldest and had money, and they must not lose face when their younger brother got married, and had to follow the eldest.
How big this one is is very particular.
Lin Dashan's frown was so tight that it could kill a fly. If you give too little, it won't look good; if you give too much, it won't be appropriate.
It's such an easy thing, but it's not worth them to worry about it like this.
"Dad, how much do we follow the customs of the village?"
"We are close relatives, and I am the eldest brother, so usually I give about 100 wen. Of course, for those who are especially close, I give more, and sometimes I give 150 wen."
Xiaomi smiled and said, 100 cents.
"Dad, let's just give him 300 coins."
"Is it too little?" 300 Wen, considering their family situation, it was indeed not much.
"Mom, if we give too much, what about Second Uncle and Third Uncle? Will they share with us? Besides, Second Uncle is the mainstay of our family now. We can't give him too much. If we give him too much, it will make it difficult for him to do his job. What will people say about him?"
Is that so?
"Others give 100 coins, and we give 300 coins, which is already three times as much as others. Isn't it enough? If we give too much, what will we do when Brother Fuyou and his family get married in the future? If we give too little, will they say that Dad looks down on them? If we give too much, how will they return the gifts in the future? It will be difficult for them! Therefore, we should add a little according to the custom, which will not be embarrassing and will not make them unable to pay back. Maybe if you give more, Fourth Uncle will feel pressured. After all, the younger brother in Mom's belly will also get married in the future."
What my daughter said made sense. He shouldn't give too much. If he gave too much, it would be that he, as the eldest brother, was ignorant.
"Isn't 300 wen a bit too much? After all, the price has quadrupled. How about 200 wen?" Lin Dashan asked tentatively.
Wang:......
If I were to lose weight, my mother-in-law would probably turn her face away on the spot!
Millet:……
What a fool.
"Dad, you are the master, it is not appropriate to be young."
"Okay, just prepare 300 coins and take them with you that day." He said as he continued pacing.
The dumplings tonight are so delicious!
Lin Xiaomi smiled, her grandparents would definitely be pissed off. 300 cents, they probably never thought of that in their dreams.
"Da Ya, let's go roller skating!"
"Miss, please, can you not go? Last time you fell, dad nearly beat me to death when we got home. Can you please have pity on us little ones and not go?"
The ice on the river was very thick. Lin Xiaomi was bored, so she asked someone to make something similar to a hand-pulled cart, and someone sat on it and let them push her.
The ice was too slippery, and they didn't control their strength well, and the car overturned. The master who happened to pass by saw it, and his face turned pale with fear. After checking that the young lady was okay, he severely reprimanded them.
This was the first time they were reprimanded after serving the young lady for so long. Afterwards, Guan Zhuangtou gave them another warning, meaning that if they didn’t serve well, there would be many people vying to serve the young lady, and they would be severely beaten by their parents when they got home.
Now the young lady wants to play with this thing again, maybe she wants them to die sooner. Absolutely not, she must give up the idea.
The two of them knelt down together, with an attitude that said, "If you go and play, we will die."
Lin Xiaomi touched her nose awkwardly. It didn't hurt at all when she slipped on the ice. It was all her father who was making a fuss.
"Miss, can I go back to the room with you to play hopscotch?" San Ya pleaded. Hopping hopscotch was a new toy made by Miss these two days, and they all thought it was very interesting.
Look how scared he is, his little face has turned pale.
"Okay, I don't want to play anymore. My dad doesn't eat people. Why are you so afraid of him?"
That is the master, the master who can sell them out and control their life and death. How can he not be afraid?
Lin Xiaomi sighed, this damn imperial society.
[PS: Li will know tomorrow that Wang is pregnant!!! All her money is gone, and her farmland is gone too!!! So miserable!!!]
