Divorce with three kids? I'll build a house and eat meat, driving my in-laws crazy.

Chapter 87 Her family kept a wolf
Li Ruru asked curiously, "What did you hear?"

Pan Dayan frowned and said, "I heard them talking about your dog."

She was busy grinding konjac every day, and her house was quite noisy with many people, so she didn't hear the details clearly.

Upon hearing this, Yinyin ran over and hugged Qiqi, saying, "Qiqi, listen to me, you are not allowed to eat anything given to you by others, they will poison you."

These days, food is precious, and people can't get enough to eat. There are very few families in the village that keep dogs.

There's no guarantee that some people who crave meat won't make a move on Qiqi.

Qiqi let out a howl, as if to say that it wasn't afraid at all.

Yinyin hugged its head and gave it another lecture, ignoring everything else, until Qiqi got annoyed and she finally stopped.

Pan Dayan laughed and said, "Sanya really likes this dog, but its bark is really strange, it sounds a bit like a wolf."

A single sentence reminded Li Ruru that after Pan Dayan left, she assigned Yin Yin a task: to teach Qi Qi to bark like a dog.

The others helped Li Ruru prepare lunch.

"Auntie, what are we having for dinner today?" Chu Xiu washed her hands and came over to help.

Xiao Wu and Xiao Yishan also gathered around.

Two large basins of kneaded dough were placed on a large table in the courtyard.

Li Ruru said, "Today we're having dumplings and making steamed buns."

There's still a lot of grease residue at home, which will come in handy.

Peipei has already picked a basket of fresh vegetables. The vegetables in the yard grow very quickly, and a basket can be harvested in just two or three days.

Chaochao chopped the cabbage, added salt to draw out the water, squeezed out the excess water, and put it into a bowl.

I also chopped up the cooked rice noodles and stir-fried a bowl of scrambled eggs.

Li Ruru poured these ingredients into a large bowl and added chopped scallions, ginger, and garlic.

Chu Xiu held a small spoon and poured the hot oil over it. With a sizzle, the aroma was released.

He smiled and said, "Auntie, is this your secret recipe for making delicious food?"

Li Ruru likes to pour hot oil over her dishes every time she cooks. Sometimes she pours hot oil over noodles, sometimes she pours chili powder over them, and sometimes she pours minced garlic over them.

Today's sauce is made with scallions, ginger, and garlic.

Li Ruru looked up and said, "Master Chu is truly intelligent."

Chu Xiu waved his hand, "Auntie, please don't make fun of me."

He has some knowledge of his own abilities, and he is self-aware.

"Woof~~~Woof~" Qiqi was trying hard to learn how to bark like a dog, but after a long time, he still hadn't made any progress.

Yinyin patted its head, "Woof~ woof woof woof~"

Xiao Yishan smiled, and Xiao Wu said, "Yinyin imitated it so well."

After hearing this, Yin Yin glared at him and continued her teaching.

Li Ruru made four kinds of fillings today: chives, cabbage, celery, and tofu, along with chopped pork cracklings, chopped eggs, and chopped vermicelli.

Two large basins of dough, one basin of unleavened dough to make dumplings for lunch, and the other basin of risen dough to make steamed buns for dinner.

After preparing the filling, Li Ruru rolled out the dough balls while calling on everyone to wrap them together.

She took out three washed copper coins and said, "Today we'll wrap copper coins, and whoever finds one will have one wish granted."

Chaochao had already started wrapping dumplings skillfully. She used chopsticks to put in the filling, and with a deft press of two fingers, a pretty dumpling was ready.

Chu Xiu stared in disbelief. "Chao Chao, you're amazing! Teach me!"

Chaochao felt a little embarrassed by the praise. She made these dumplings for her grandmother every year during the Lunar New Year, although her grandmother had never let her eat a single one.

Making dumplings, a skill she had long been accustomed to, was incredibly impressive in Chu Xiu's eyes.

"Just hold it like this, then squeeze it together, and then press it down firmly."

She slowed down her movements to demonstrate, and Chu Xiu tried to imitate her by squeezing out a round lump, which gave him away.

"This... is really difficult," he muttered.

Chaochao thought he was too slow and clumsy, so she took his hand and taught him step by step several times. Chu Xiu finally gradually grasped some of the techniques. Although the wrapped dumplings still looked ugly, at least they didn't give away any flaws.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and laughed, "I've really learned something new today."

He, a young master from a respectable family, can now make dumplings; isn't that a sign of improved skills?

He thought to himself that when he went home next time, he would definitely show off his skills to his father and broaden his horizons.

Xiao Yishan and Xiao Wu also don't know how to make dumplings.

Xiao Wu tried for a long time but couldn't learn it, so he simply went to help Li Ruru roll out the dough.

Under Peipei's guidance, Xiao Yishan also learned how to wrap them, and he did a pretty good job.

Peipei taught him a different way of wrapping, which resulted in a shape resembling a gold ingot.

Li Ruru rolled out the dough while observing the children.

Seeing that they were all studying seriously and didn't blush or anything because of contact between boys and girls, she figured that the children were still young and hadn't figured things out yet, and didn't think about matters between boys and girls at all, so she felt relieved.

Suddenly remembering something, she went to the kitchen and busied herself for a while, then brought out two small bowls of broth.

One bowl contains green spinach juice, and the other contains red amaranth juice.

"Mother, what is this for?" Chaochao asked.

"It's for decoration," Li Ruru said, kneading a ball of green dough with spinach juice.

The amaranth juice naturally produced a red dough.

She kneaded the white dough and green dough together, rolled them into a wrapper, and handed it to Chaochao.

"You wrap it up."

Chaochao didn't understand, but she did as instructed anyway. Everyone was amazed when the dumplings were finished.

Chaochao held a white dumpling with green edges in her hand, which looked exactly like a pretty cabbage.

"Isn't it beautiful?" Li Ruru said proudly.

"It's beautiful, so amazing!" Chu Xiu was eager to try it out, but Li Ruru stopped him.

She handed Pepe a flatbread made by kneading white and red dough together, saying, "Use this to wrap your bag."

Peipei took the dough and wrapped it into a white gold ingot with red edges.

"Wow, it looks great!" Xiao Yishan exclaimed happily.

Both sides were full of energy, with Peipei and Xiao Yishan focusing on wrapping their gold ingots.

Chaochao and Chuxiu wrapped up one beautiful cabbage after another.

After Xiao Wu and Li Ruru finished rolling out the dough, Li Ruru held up a plain white dough sheet and said to him, "Come on, I'll teach you a simple way to wrap it."

She pinched the edge of the dumpling with two fingers, tightening it little by little, demonstrating as she said, "Just like making a steamed bun, you just pinch the edges together."

The dumplings that Li Ruru made looked like plump sparrows, and Xiao Wu finally learned how to make them after several attempts.

"Wrap the copper coins." She handed the copper coins to her two daughters.

Chao Chao handed the copper coins in her hand to Chu Xiu, saying, "Master Chu, you wrap them up."

She always respected Chu Xiu, and in her eyes, scholars were all incredibly capable.

Chu Xiu didn't refuse and put the copper wallet inside.

When Peipei tried to give Xiao Yishan another copper coin, he refused, saying, "You can wrap it yourself; mine is ugly."

Don't waste your copper coins.

Xiao Wu also wrapped up the remaining copper coin.

Chu Xiu stared at the dumplings he had just wrapped with copper coins on the covered curtain, pondering his wish, when he suddenly heard someone shouting outside the door.

"She keeps a wolf as a pet; it's terrifying."

"We must kill that wolf today, no matter what. We can't let it threaten everyone's safety."

Yin Yin's eyelids twitched. Oh no, someone's coming for Qi Qi!
