A young boy from the 1970s, separated from his family, fled famine and led his younger brother into

"Mom, let's make chive and egg dumplings for Chinese New Year this year!"

It's the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the Lunar New Year is just around the corner.

Lu Nianci suddenly said to Zhou Yayun.

Zhou Yayun was taken aback.

"Chive and egg dumplings? Nianci, where...where are we going to get chives in winter?" She was a little embarrassed.

Although spinach and lettuce were grown in the greenhouse, chives were a rare treat in winter.

Lu Nianci smiled and took Zhou Yayun's hand as they walked into the greenhouse.

"Mom, have you forgotten what else I planted before?"

As soon as Zhou Yayun entered the greenhouse, she was stunned by the scene before her.

In one corner of the greenhouse, lush green chives had grown densely.

They are lush and green, emitting a rich, refreshing fragrance.

"Oh my god! This...this chives have grown too!" Zhou Yayun exclaimed excitedly, her words tumbling out incoherently.

She carefully squatted down and gently touched the chives with her fingers.

They were tender and springy, better than any chives she had seen in the summer.

"Mom, this amount of chives is enough for us to make dumplings for several meals!" Lu Nianci said with a smile.

Zhou Yayun almost burst into tears upon hearing this.

She never imagined that they could eat such fresh and vibrant green chives in the harsh winter of Harbin.

This was something we wouldn't have dared to even imagine before.

"Okay! Okay! We'll make chive and egg dumplings! We'll make the most fragrant chive and egg dumplings!" Zhou Yayun said excitedly.

That evening, the Lu family home was filled with the festive atmosphere of the Lu New Year.

Zhou Yayun took out her treasured flour and eggs, while Lu Nianci was responsible for washing and chopping the chives.

Lu Zhenguo and Lu Xingzhou also sat down next to them, helping to roll out the dumpling wrappers.

The family sat together, chatting and laughing, enjoying each other's company.

"Brother, the dumpling wrappers you rolled out are so round!" Lu Nianci said with a smile.

A rare, embarrassed smile appeared on Lu Xingzhou's face.

"Nonsense, your brother is a special forces soldier, how could I not handle such a small matter?"

Zhou Yayun felt a surge of joy as she looked at her son's awkward expression.

She knew that although Lu Xingzhou didn't say it, his heart was filled with warmth and affection for this family.

When the plump chive and egg dumplings are wrapped and neatly arranged on the cutting board.

They looked so tempting, so full of life.

"Alright! Let's start cooking the dumplings!" Zhou Yayun shouted.

Soon, the kitchen was filled with a rich aroma of dumplings.

That aroma wasn't just a mixture of chives and eggs.

It tastes like home, happiness, and hope.

When the first steaming pot of chive and egg dumplings was served.

Everyone in the Lu family eagerly picked up a dumpling and put it in their mouths.

"Delicious! So delicious!" Zhou Yayun exclaimed excitedly.

"These chives are even fresher and more fragrant than the ones we eat in the summer!"

Lu Zhenguo nodded repeatedly.

He had never eaten such delicious dumplings.

The delicious taste made him feel as if he had returned to his childhood, to that era of material scarcity but full of warmth.

Lu Xingzhou ate his dumplings in silence.

His face didn't show much expression.

But deep in his eyes, an undisguised satisfaction and happiness shone.

He knew that this plate of dumplings was more than just delicious food.

It was Lu Nianci's wisdom and hard work that brought... a miracle to this family.

However, this rich aroma of dumplings was not limited to the Lu family.

It drifted with the winter wind throughout the entire military compound.

"Oh my! What's that smell? It smells so good!"

"Yes! It smells like chives!"

"Chives? Good heavens! Where am I supposed to get chives in the dead of winter?"

The families living in the military compound were all attracted by the sudden aroma.

They all came out of their homes and followed the fragrance to the Lu family's door.

When they saw the steaming, bright green, and tempting plate of chive and egg dumplings on the Lu family's dining table...

Everyone was so shocked they were speechless.

"Commissar Lu's family... are actually eating chive and egg dumplings in winter!"

"My God! This...how is this possible!"

"Where do they get their chives from?"

The family members were talking amongst themselves, their faces filled with shock and curiosity.

They never imagined that they could eat such fresh and vibrant green chives in the harsh winter of Harbin.

This is something I've never heard of or seen before!

Zhou Yayun looked at her curious neighbors and a proud smile appeared on her face.

She knew that this was her daughter's "housewarming plan," which had caused a sensation in the military compound for the first time.

Lu Nianci sat at the dining table, looking at her shocked neighbors, a smile appearing on her lips.

She knew that her "lower-dimensional attack" market strategy was about to be implemented.

She looks forward to the day when those vegetables will be put on the market and change the winter dining tables in Harbin.
