This dumpling-making activity has been passed down from Nan Yu’s grandmother and has continued to this day; it’s an activity that the whole family participates in.
Considering that there were a few more people in the family this year, Nan’s mother even prepared several kinds of fillings, including things that fly in the sky, swim in the water, and grow on the ground. Nan Yu was very surprised that some of these could be used as fillings.
Oh well, as long as her mother is happy.
Compared to Nan Yu’s lackluster enthusiasm, who was only focused on completing the task, Fei Yunjin and An Yiran were extremely excited.
It was the two little ones’ first time making dumplings by hand. Watching the white dough transform into thin wrappers in their grandmother’s hands, their eyes practically lit up, eager to try it themselves.
“Grandma, how did you do that? You’re so amazing!”
“Grandma, Xiao Jin wants to try too. Is that okay?”
Surrounded by the two little sparrows, Nan’s mother smiled brightly: “Ah Rong, get two more rolling pins, the small ones.”
And then, the on-the-spot dough-rolling demonstration began.
One taught diligently, while the two little ones learned meticulously. They also happened to have good talent.
Before long, Fei Yunjin and An Yiran had actually rolled out fairly decent-looking dumpling wrappers.
“Thinking about how someone couldn’t learn it even after more than ten years, tsk, she can’t even beat a few-year-old.”
Nan Ji teased Nan Yu with a laugh. It was obvious who the ‘someone’ he was referring to was.
Nan Yu smiled and put down a dumpling she had just wrapped.
“Really? I seem to remember someone once eating fifty dumplings in one go during the Chinese New Year and ending up in the hospital.”
“Hehe, that’s still better than someone whose dumplings all fell apart and then insisting they weren’t made by her, right?”
“Huh? I didn’t wrap those in the first place!”
“See? You just won’t admit it!”
An Ning, sitting to the side: “…”
Truly a typical sibling pair: I’ll take the fall for you in crucial moments, but I’ll stab you in the back in daily life.
After Fei Yunjin and An Yiran successfully transformed themselves into ‘little kittens’, the hundreds of dumplings were finally neatly arranged on the table, ready to be cooked at noon.
The two little ones were taken by the maid to wash their faces and hands, while Nan Yu also returned to her room to change and tidy herself up.
After lunch, the Nan family’s relatives would arrive one after another, and as the face of the family, she couldn’t be impolite.
“Wow, whose little fairy is this?”
When Nan Yu came downstairs, Nan Ji’s exaggerated expression immediately amused everyone.
Nan Yu wasn’t embarrassed at all, nodding in agreement, “Probably from the Nan family?”
“Hahaha…”
The old man burst into laughter, “Yes, from the Nan family!”
“Auntie looks so pretty today~”
Fei Yunjin, who had just washed up, quickly gathered around, his words as sweet as honey, “Much prettier than a fairy!”
“Hmm? Isn’t Auntie usually pretty?”
Nan Yu mischievously feigned a hurt expression, and after successfully seeing Fei Yunjin’s face turn anxious, she immediately burst out laughing. Even Nan’s mother couldn’t stand such a wicked way of teasing a child.
“Xiao Jin, let’s go, ignore this wicked fairy.”
“Hahaha.”
Laughter instantly filled the hall again. The Nan family’s old house hadn’t been this lively in a long time.
It wasn’t the kind of lively atmosphere with a large crowd, but a lively atmosphere filled with genuine joy.
Last year’s New Year’s was not as lively as this year’s.
Nan Yu remembered that around this time last year, the Nan and Fei families were busily preparing for the upcoming wedding.
Although they didn’t approve of or like Fei Yizheng, Nan’s parents didn’t want their precious daughter to suffer any hardship, so they worried and anxiously checked every aspect of the wedding before they felt at ease.
Nan Ji was no exception. His younger sister was married, but he didn’t even have a girlfriend. During the New Year, he received countless inquiries and introductions from relatives, all of which he politely declined.
Unexpectedly, in just one year, the Nan family had completely changed.
This is the perfect life that everyone dreams of, right?
