Day by day in the infinite game

Chapter 116

After lunch and a short rest, we began to prepare the ingredients for making dumplings in the evening.

Tang Qinqin peeled off a sugar orange, gave half of it to his mother who was making noodles, and ate the other half into his mouth.

The orange petals are cold, and you can taste the sweetness when you bite them lightly, which is very refreshing.

Tang Qinqin is responsible for chopping cabbage, leeks, shrimps, pork and other ingredients. After mincing the cabbage, it needs to be salted to remove excess moisture so that the dumplings will not leak easily.

The sound of "dong dong dong" chopping stuffing lasted not long, and a basin full of vegetable stuffing was ready. After all, Tang Qinqin's strength was extremely powerful, and he was using it in the most suitable place.

Tang Ma, who finished making the noodles, came over to season the noodles, and opened the package as soon as the noodles woke up. After the noodles were wrapped, they were placed on the curtain made of wheat straw, and they were ready for dinner.

The reason why we prepared so many vegetable fillings today is to save the dumplings on the morning of New Year's Day. Like the fish that is a must-have in the New Year's Eve dinner, it has the auspicious meaning of "more than enough every year".

When he woke up, Tang Qinqin and his mother sat on the kang, watching TV and eating hair.

Dad Tang was drinking tea leisurely on the side.

Tang's mother accidentally remembered her daughter's important event, turned around and asked: "Nanny, didn't you say that the exam is coming soon? How are you studying?"

Father Tang turned around when he heard this, "When will the exam be taken?"

Tang Qinqin looked at this and that, and felt that the hair in his hand suddenly didn't smell good.

"It will be soon after the first lunar month."

"It's okay to learn."

In fact, this is a slightly humble self-identification. Mr. Qi is still very satisfied with this young apprentice's learning ability and attitude.

But to the ears of Tang's father and Tang's mother, who hope that their daughter will have a bright future and have a better future, "it's OK" but not OK.

Tang Ma immediately changed her face.

Tang Qinqin quickly put down the hair in his hand and pretended to run away.

Father Tang winked at Mother Tang, and the couple made eye contact.

Dad Tang said: "I can let you have a good day today. If you have nothing to do tomorrow after the New Year greetings, just don't worry about anything and go study quickly. The exam is coming soon, so you have to know what's going on. But don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Tang Qinqin felt as if he had returned to his student days before the college entrance examination.

Although I didn't have the courage to sit down again, and my mother might continue to tease me at any time, but it's a good thing to have half a day free, so I stood at attention immediately, expressed my attitude, then turned and ran.

I vaguely heard Tang's mother's voice: "This child, no matter how old he is, he still looks like a child."

"You don't know about your daughter yet. She knows it all. She hasn't made us worry much since she was little. You, don't think so much. I can rest assured about my daughter."

Tang Qinqin lay quietly outside the window, wanting to continue to eavesdrop on what his parents thought of him.

"Isn't it true that all mothers look forward to having children? I also want to encourage her, fearing that she will relax. After all, I have become a master, and if I don't study hard, I will waste the opportunity. The child will regret it in the future." Tang's mother sighed. A sound.

"Also, of course I know that my daughter is very good, and she has been very worry-free, so I don't need you to say it."

Dad Tang, who received a blank stare, came over with a smile: "Yes, yes, everything you said is right."

Tang's mother pushed Father Tang away in disgust, thought for a moment, and said in a slightly arrogant tone: "Go get me the durian."

Father Tang pretended to be frightened: "Daughter-in-law, I was wrong, don't make me kneel on the durian!"

After provoking Tang's mother to finally succeed, she burst out laughing: "Hurry up, I won't spare you if you delay any longer."

"..."

Tang Qinqin couldn't hear what was said after that. He stuffed his ears with dog food from his parents. If he stayed here any longer, he might not be able to eat the New Year's Eve dinner tonight.

However, Tang Qinqin also understands Tang's mother's intentions. Like many mothers in the world, she only hopes that her child will be well and expects her to be better and have a broader future.

"Okay, keep practicing. Being lazy doesn't suit me right now." After encouraging himself, Tang Qinqin returned to his room and started practicing.

In addition to New Year's Eve, Mr. Qi also assigned her "homework" every day, which required her to complete certain learning tasks and check them when she returned.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that after passing the college entrance examination, he did not gain "lightness", but had a heavier burden on his shoulders. Tang Qinqin silently felt sorry for himself for 0.1 seconds.

At 04:30 in the afternoon, thinking of making dumplings, Tang Qinqin put down the thick pharmacopoeia in his hand, stretched and walked to the Kang in the big house.

After washing and drying their hands, Father Tang and Mother Tang on the kang had already started making dumplings.

"I'll roll the dough!" Tang Qinqin grabbed the rolling pin, picked up a piece of dough and rolled it out skillfully.

She can also make dumplings, but the ones she makes are too ugly, especially next to the beautiful dumplings made by Tang's mother with thin skin and big fillings like "general belly", which makes her look even more weak and pitiful.

Tang’s mother laughed and said that her daughter’s future partners would also be ugly.

Tang Qinqin didn't understand why there was such a statement and how the dumplings could be connected to that person in the future.

It is reasonable to say that the words are like the people.

So later, I seldom made bags by hand, only responsible for rolling the skin.

"Don't forget to make the skin a little thicker and save some for breakfast tomorrow." Tang's mother warned.

"Hey, I know." Tang Qinqin agreed, casually rolling out a well-proportioned round dumpling wrapper.

After looking at the dumplings on the chopping board for a while, she began to pick up dumplings on the curtain.

When picking up the dumplings, also dip the sweet potato noodles on the chopping board to prevent them from sticking to the curtain.

"Mom, let's make more dumplings these days. I love eating them. Bring more when you go back." Tang Qinqin said coquettishly to Tang's mother.

"You don't have to say it. I asked your dad to buy the meat, and I'll take care of it if nothing happens." Tang's mother said she was disgusted, but the smile in her eyes showed that she appreciated her daughter's closeness.

The sky outside the window is completely dark, indicating that the highlight of New Year's Eve - the New Year's Eve dinner is coming.

The crackling sounds of fireworks began one after another, and neighbors started the New Year atmosphere in areas where fireworks and firecrackers are allowed to be set off.

Looking at the fireworks blooming brightly outside the window, scattering like a shower of stars, I feel an indescribable feeling of happiness in my heart for no reason.

The New Year's Eve dinner is based on the meat and vegetables at noon, and also adds rice cakes, which means "step by step, everything will go smoothly." Tang Qinqin's family mostly eats rhubarb rice rice cakes, which are heated and mixed with white sugar to give them a soft, glutinous and sweet taste.

After the dumplings are cooked, the first bowl taken out should be served to the gods and ancestors.

Then it will be served to the table and enjoyed by the family.

When everything was ready, the family of three got on the kang, and Tang's father had already poured himself some wine, which was the bottle of Maozi that Tang Qinqin brought back.

Tang Qinqin and Tang Ma drank coconut milk.

Put it on the hot bed in advance. When you drink it, it will be warm and very fragrant.

As soon as eight o'clock arrived, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala program gradually kicked off. As the hosts appeared one after another in festive attire, with smiles on their faces and "Happy New Year, Congratulations on the New Year" and other auspicious words, the atmosphere of the New Year was set. Gradually it was brought to the highest point.

The family ate while watching various programs. Tang Qinqin had no similar thoughts about girls who love to lose weight and maintain their figure. He held a bowl with ribs, sausages, chicken, fish, and shrimp, and kept swiping away.

That's not all. They also made about ten dumplings. Each of the dumplings made by Tang Ma was almost the size of a normal egg.

"Okay, Qin Qin, no matter how much you love to eat, you have to control it. If you eat too much, it won't be digested at night. Your dad and I will eat less of it, and the leftovers will be yours." Tang's mother quickly shouted to stop.

Tang Qinqin glanced at another plate of dumplings regretfully. In fact, because of her "infinite strength", the excess energy from what she eats will be converted into strength and stored. The more she eats, the more she will store, and then "quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes." Perform a level upgrade.

Putting down the chopsticks, I watched the Spring Festival Gala skits with Tang’s father and Tang’s mother, and together we put away the food on the table. The next step was Tang’s father’s task—to watch the New Year’s Eve.

On this night, the room dedicated to the ancestors should be kept brightly lit, and the yellow paper incense burner and futon should be prepared in advance.As the eldest son of the family, Tang Qinqin’s uncle would come to stay with him after the New Year’s Eve dinner, including the family tree and the offering table.

Normally, the father's younger brother should be called uncle, but here, he is called "little daddy".
