A few days later, it's new year's Eve.
This is a national celebration.
Since they are all in Kyoto, it is natural to spend the Spring Festival together, so that afternoon, Jingning took An'an and LeLe back to the old house.
Although it's the Chinese new year, Lu Jingshen still has some business to deal with. He is still in the company and will not be back until later.
Jingning called him in advance and told him to go back to his old house directly after finishing his work, so he didn't have to go back to Fengqiao villa.
The old residence of Lu family is very lively for a time, which is also a rare family reunion.
The old lady has not been very happy recently. No wonder Lu Jingshen was out of town or Lu Lanzhi was absent. Even if she came back, she still felt a little lonely.
This year is not the same. Looking at her children and grandchildren around her knees, the old lady only feels warm in her heart. She has to be several years younger.
After all, it's Chinese New Year. As the Lu family, Lu Lanzhi still wants to come back on such an important day.
However, Xu was worried about Jingning's mood, and the old lady asked her in advance.
Jingning had no malice to Lu Lanzhi. Before Lu Lanzhi went abroad, it was also because of the gambling house, which had little to do with her.
Now that things in the casino are almost settled, she should come back.
Jingning laughs and persuades the old lady a few words, the old lady sees she does not have the appearance that does not like, this just puts down the heart.
That afternoon, Lu Lanzhi followed Jingning's back foot to the old house.
They happened to meet each other when they entered the door. Lu Lanzhi was still arrogant, but after all, after this setback, she was not as arrogant as usual. Even if she was not happy to see her again, she only snorted coldly and walked into the room without saying anything.
Jingning didn't care about her.
She felt that Lu Lanzhi was nearly 40 years old, and it was not easy to live her heart like a teenager.
There is a preference of the Lu family, but also because of her simple nature, people believe in what they say, and often can't turn around.
If you are angry with such a person, you can feel uncomfortable in your heart. It's not good to be simple.
Jingning has always been a person who will not treat himself unfairly. Since it is a useless thing, naturally he is too lazy to do it.
The old house is decorated with a lot of New Year decorations, and it looks very happy.
After entering the house, Jingning lets An'an go to play by herself. Xiao Zhao and another servant in the old house take care of Lele. She goes to the kitchen to look for the old lady.
New year's Eve is the most important festival of the year. The old lady always likes to cook herself and cook delicious food for her family. This is a habit and tradition left over from decades.
And Kyoto belongs to the north of China, the weather is cold, the most popular is eating dumplings.
Both the old lady and Lu Lanzhi grew up in the north, so they are no stranger to this.
But Jingning grew up in Jincheng, which is located in the South and seldom eats dumplings or pasta.
So she was the only one in the family. The party couldn't, and the rest would.
She was a little embarrassed for a moment. The old lady said with a smile, "if you want to learn, come here and I'll teach you."
Lu Lanzhi looked at her, originally wanted to sour her a few words, but pause for a moment, do not know what thought of, did not speak.
Jingning didn't notice her look. Seeing the old lady saying this, although she still had no idea, she could only wash her hands and harden her scalp.
Besides the servants, they are the three who make dumplings.
Lu Jingshen came back at 5:30 and played chess with the old man in the chess room.
The old lady slowed down her hands and said, "you see, put this meat in, and then pinch the skin. The left hand holds the center and does not move. Just like a central axis, the right hand follows the circle to pinch a little flower. It's beautiful and delicious. Try it."
Jingning fixed his eyes on the old lady's movement, and had a general idea.
She nodded."OK, I'll try."
However, some things are like this. They seem simple and difficult to do.
She never knew that it was so difficult to make a dumpling.
The dumpling skin, in the old lady's hand, is like a living one. She can pinch it as much as she wants.
But in her hands, either can not move, or pinch out crooked seven or eight twist, ugly oneself can not bear to look directly.
If the meat is too little, the center will be shrunken down. If you put too much meat, it will burst out again.
She was in a hurry.
Seeing this, the old lady couldn't help laughing.
"Don't be in a hurry. Learn it slowly. It's easy! If you pinch more, you'll find the trick."
Jingning blushed a little and felt his hands so stupid for the first time.
Lu Lanzhi saw the old lady turn her neck, put down the dumpling skin and said, "Mom, I'm tired! I'll help you up and have a restThe old lady is happy today. She got up early and has been busy all day.
He nodded.
"All right! After making the dumplings, you take An'an to the square over there to watch the fireworks. Let ashen stop playing chess. Take Ning Ning Ning with you. There are a group of children who grew up in Kyoto. Don't keep a group of young people at home."
Lu Lanzhi took off her gloves and nodded.
The old lady went upstairs to have a rest with her help.
Jingning continued to compete with the dumpling wrappers on her hand. In fact, she had already made a lot of dumplings and had enough to eat in the evening, but she was not willing to.
Her hands have always been very skillful, do anything is easy to learn, but did not expect, today actually lost in a small dumpling skin.
No, she has to squeeze it out.
Just as he was struggling, there was a chuckle behind him.
She was stunned and looked back, and saw Lu Jingshen standing behind her, looking at the movements of her hands, and holding back a smile at the corners of her mouth, as if for a long time.
Jingning suddenly blushed and turned to mumble: "how long have you been here? Why don't you make a noise? "
"I've made a noise. It's just that you make dumplings too carefully and don't notice it."
The man said, went forward, looked at her hand again failed works, can not help laughing: "your strength is too big, in fact, as long as you master the method, do not need such a great strength, look, all pinch deformation."
At the moment, even Jingning was defeated by her.
Suddenly a burst of shame, cold hum way: "you will you come!"
The man picked his eyebrows and, without saying a word, went to wash his hands, put on his gloves and began to wrap them up.
Jingning was stunned.
I saw the snow-white dumpling skin in his generous palm, as if it was alive.
Very quickly made a very beautiful dumpling.
She looked straight at her eyes.
Lu Jingshen lifted his eyelids and glanced at her.
Jingning's frustration is more serious, lost way: "how do you do so simple, I just can't learn?"
