Chapter 382 Super Big Red Envelope
On the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the second snow in 2021 is coming.

There was heavy snow falling outside the window. Inside, Zhang Zhong and his family were making dumplings, and Xu Yuhan was beside her. She was wearing an apron, which seemed to be the case, but the dumplings made by her hands were not. .

Seeing the dumplings she made, Xu Yuhan herself felt a little embarrassed, "Is my dumpling stuffed too much, it feels a little swollen."

Hu Huifang smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as you squeeze it tightly, it doesn't matter whether it looks good or not, it tastes the same. Dumplings are like people, the appearance doesn't hinder things, the main thing is to see what the filling is."

Pengpeng also made a dumpling wrapper for the side, but she hasn't wrapped a single finished product so far. When Xu Yuhan said that there is too much stuffing in the dumpling, she had an idea and left only a little bit of stuffing, and wrapped it up for them. Look.

"Father, grandma, look at my dumplings."

Zhang Zhong looked at the "dumpling" in her hand, and immediately laughed. The good-looking dumpling was wrapped into buns by her, still the kind with pleats.

Hu Huifang glanced at it, "What's the difference between you and dumpling wrappers?"

Pengpeng frowned, "The wontons have very little filling."

"Well, you can do whatever you want, anyway, there is no shortage of your dumpling wrappers at home, so do whatever you want."

"Grandma, you are hurting my self-confidence. Dad said that teaching children should be based on encouragement." Pengpeng said.

Hearing Pengpeng's stern words, Hu Huifang was also taken aback for a moment, then shook her head and said, "The children nowadays are only six years old, how can they speak more sloppy words than anyone else. What your father said is also divided, I think you need to put some pressure on it."

"Why?" Peng Peng frowned even more.

"Why? Because you already know how to give yourself confidence. If I give you more confidence, you won't go to heaven. When I was your age, I made dumplings with your wife. If I didn't make dumplings well, I would be beaten." (wife: great-grandfather)

Zhang Xingjun said with a smile, "Don't scare her, she's only very old."

"Tch, do you think she looks frightened?"

……

After making the dumplings, Li Zhuo came over just after the first pot of dumplings at noon was cooked.

"Why are you here at this time? It's snowing so much outside." Zhang Xingjun opened the door for Li Zhuo, and seeing him carrying a gift, he asked in surprise, "Why do you still bring something?"

Li Zhuo is tall, he has lived a comfortable life during this time, he seems to have gained some flesh, and he wears thick clothes, standing at the door like an iron tower.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and hummed, "I came to see you, and I haven't been here for a long time."

Hu Huifang came out of the kitchen wearing an apron, "It's better to be late than to be late. Zhuozi, you came just in time. My dumplings have just been cooked. Zhang Xingjun, pour Zhuozi a cup of tea, and I'll come over when the dumplings are ready."

Li Zhuo was not polite either, rubbing his hands together and said, "When I said why, my left eyelid twitched, and I kept staring at the ground along the way to see if I could pick up some money, but I didn't expect the good stuff to be in the pot."

Zhang Xingjun took him into the living room, and Zhang Zhong had already poured water for him, "What's the matter here? Don't tell me you have a good nose, you can smell my dumplings from afar."

"You're swearing, I don't have your dog nose." Li Zhuo laughed, and took out an invitation card from his pocket, "I'm here to deliver a post, on the second day of the second lunar month, I'm getting married, when the time comes You take your uncle and aunt over for a drink."

Zhang Zhong smiled and said, "Yo, the date is set."

Li Zhuo did tell Zhang Zhong before that he had a plan to get married, and within half a month, the date was fixed.

Zhang Xingjun was also surprised, "So fast? We haven't heard your mother mention it before."

"I only decided in the past few days. My mother didn't know long before you."

"Well, you have always had ideas since you were a child. This is a good thing. Your mother is looking forward to your marriage every day. Now that things are settled, she will have a much better life this year."

"In addition to sending invitations, I also hope that you, Uncle Zhang, will show up and be a celebrity on the man's side." Li Zhuo said.

Zhang Xingjun waved his hands, "I can't do this, I've never been a celebrity before."

"Uncle Zhang, don't be humble, and there are few things to do when you are a celebrity now, so you won't be too troublesome."

Indeed, Li Zhuo and the others are in free love, and finding a celebrity is just to conform to the custom.

Zhang Xingjun pondered for a while, then said, "That's fine, I'll do my best."

The two have been dealing with each other for more than 20 years, and of course Zhang Xingjun knows the situation of Li Zhuo's family.Orphaned and widowed, he doesn't have any capable relatives, if he doesn't want to be a celebrity, Li Zhuo will really face difficulties.

Seeing that Zhang Xingjun agreed, Li Zhuo said happily, "Then I will thank Uncle Zhang."

"Thank you for being polite. I'll go see how your aunt's dumplings are doing. Zhang Zhong, you're chatting with Zhuo Zi."

"Well, you can go." Zhang nodded heavily, and when Zhang Xingjun went to the kitchen, he said to Li Zhuo, "Congratulations."

"Same joy, same joy, judging by your situation, good things are coming soon?" Li Zhuo pouted towards the kitchen as he said that, after he came in just now, he saw Xu Yuhan who was helping inside.

"Anyway, it's not as early as you, have you booked everything in this hotel?"

"Of course, otherwise I would not dare to send invitations. It is at the Meizhuang Hotel. There is one more thing I didn't say, besides making Uncle Zhang a celebrity for me, should you also contribute? one time?"

"Me, best man?" Zhang Zhong shook his head, "Have you ever seen someone with a child as a best man?"

"What's the matter, haven't you ever been married? And when you say that, I think of an errand for Pengpeng. Let her be a flower girl. What do you think?"

"She can be a flower girl. This girl likes to be lively. You tell her that she will definitely agree with her. But you have to think about my being the best man. It's not that I don't want to be you. You don't care, because you are afraid that others will care."

"I've thought about what you said, and I've thought about it a long time ago. The broken rules of the groomsman have emerged in the past few years, and it's not an old tradition. It doesn't matter. Besides, the two of us have grown up since we were young. If you don't come to be the best man, who will be?"

"It doesn't matter if you say that I'm wrong, okay, then you have to give me a big red envelope."

Li Zhuo said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will definitely give you a big red envelope when the time comes."

"Uncle Zhuo, you are here, what red envelopes are you talking about?"

"Pengpeng, where did you go just now? Come, come to Uncle Zhuo and let me see if you have grown taller recently."

"I was painting just now, Uncle Zhuo, don't look at it, my father said that I have grown taller. Uncle Zhuo, what did you just say about the red envelope?"

"Uncle Zhuo wants to give you a task. If you can complete the task, he will give you a huge red envelope."
