The next day was sunny and clear.

In the not too spacious room, seven people were busy preparing for this year's Dragon Boat Festival.

This can be regarded as their family spending the holidays together in a real sense.

It's just that it's no different here than at home, and it's a little deserted outside, but it hasn't dampened the enthusiasm of the people in this small house.

The materials purchased yesterday have been washed, packed and placed on the large dining table in the living room.

Just waiting to make rice dumplings.

But a group of people looked at each other in confusion when looking at these materials, and for a moment they didn't know how to start.

Except for Gu Nian who knows how to cook and Xu Chuyi who can cook some rice, the rest of the people here have never touched Yangchun water and have never been in the kitchen, let alone making rice dumplings.

Gu Nian was wrapping up the rice dumplings on his hands. He glanced at Xu Chuyi next to him who was about to start making them, and nodded.

Then he raised his eyes and found these people looking at him and Xu Chuyi with burning eyes.

"What?" Gu Nian frowned and exposed them directly, "Don't you know how to do it?"

"..."

When Xu Chuyi heard the words, he raised his head and found that they were holding the rice dumpling leaves in their hands, looking embarrassed that they didn't know what to do.

He felt a little funny, shook his head and said, "I'll teach you."

"It's just that my wrapping wasn't very good."

Seeing someone coming down the stairs, everyone said in unison: "It's okay, it's okay."

Song Xia came close to Xu Chuyi and said, "Tuan Tuan teaches you, mother."

Xu Chuyi smiled and said hello, and then said to the four people: "I will teach it again now, and you can also take a look."

After saying that, he poked Gu Nian on the other side with his elbow, turned to the other side and whispered, "Brother Gu, please point it out if I say something wrong later."

Gu Nian raised his eyebrows slightly: "Okay."

After discussing it, Xu Chuyi started to move his hands, and while doing it, he spoke and explained.

The five people imitated his movements and followed him to make rice dumplings.

Xu Chuyi said: "Fold the rice dumpling leaves like this, put a layer of glutinous rice in it, and then dig a trench in the middle to put the fillings."

He looked up to see how they were doing, and was obviously taken aback when he saw Xu Xiaoxing.

“Second brother, you don’t need to put so much crushed chestnuts!”

The tips of Xu Xiaoxing's ears were slightly red, and he said with a wooden face: "Don't you like eating chestnut stuffing? If I put more, you can eat more."

"..." Xu Chuyi thought: But this is too much!There are more glutinous rice than white flowers.

He swallowed the words that came to his mouth, smiled and nodded: "Thank you, second brother."

"Me and me." Xu Xiangzhen said at this time, "How am I doing."

Xu Chuyi looked over and gave a thumbs up.

Xu Xiangzhen cooked it carefully, unlike his second brother who had more stuffing than rice, unlike his father whose rice leaked out from the corners of the rice dumpling leaves and fell onto the table, and unlike his elder brother whose rice dumpling leaves were folded crookedly...

He praised: "It's very good! My sister is indeed a violinist, her skills are really skillful."

Xu Xiangzhen received the affirmation and arched his eyebrows: "Tuantuan still teaches well."

other people:"......"

Xu Xiangzhen seemed to have thought of something and asked, "How can Tuantuan know how to make rice dumplings?"

Xu Chuyi explained under everyone's doubtful gazes: "After I came here, I learned to cook by myself. Two of the people I shared a room with before were Chinese."

"They taught me." Xu Chuyi smiled, "It's just that I wasn't very good at it."

The atmosphere was inexplicably tense.

Xu Chuyi, who hurriedly changed the subject, looked at Gu Nian, who was working quietly next to him.

"Among us, Brother Gu is the best!"

When the five of them heard this, they all looked at the rice dumplings that were about to be wrapped in Gu Nian's hand, and then looked at the ones that had been wrapped and formed in front of him, and were slightly startled.

The four triangular rice dumplings on the table are exquisite and beautiful, no different from those sold outside.

Xu Xiangzhen's eyes widened and he exclaimed: "How can you do it so well! Who did you learn this from?"

When the words came out, Xu Chuyi was stunned and looked at Gu Nian with worried eyes.

Just as he was about to speak to divert this sad topic, Gu Nian answered without changing his expression.

"My father taught me. He is good at cooking."

His voice was calm, and there was no hint of sadness.

Xu Chuyi knew that he was feeling sad but his face didn't show it.

Xu Chengyan pursed his lips, wanting to comfort him but not knowing how.

The living room fell into an eerie silence for a while, but Xu Chuyi broke it first and changed the topic.

With quick eyesight and quick hands, he quickly caught what fell from Song Xia's hand and said, "Mom, all the rice in your rice dumplings has spilled out!!"

White glutinous rice grains slipped from Xu Chuyi's fingers and scattered all over the table.

Song Xia said shamefully: "I didn't pay attention."

......

After some fighting and dilly-dallying, the group of people had almost finished making the rice dumplings.

Xu Chuyi looked at the triangular rice dumplings scattered on the table and couldn't help but smile.

Except for him and Gu Nian, who could still tell that they were rice dumplings, the rest could not even see the appearance of rice dumplings. People who didn't know would not believe that these messy things were rice dumplings.

However, they are not selling it, this is just for eating at home, so the requirements cannot be too high.

Gu Nian was not as happy as Xu Chuyi, he just put a calm smile on his lips, put all the rice dumplings on the table on a large plate and went to the kitchen.

Xu Chuyi said to them: "Brother Gu and I went to cook the rice dumplings. You..."

"What are we going to do?!" Xu Xiangzhen's eyes lit up, waiting for his instructions.

Xu Chuyi glanced at the messy table and place, but finally said nothing.

"You just sit here and wait."

After saying that, Xu Chuyi entered the kitchen.

"Brother Gu, let me help you!"

After Gu Nianzheng processed the rice dumplings firmly, he put them one by one into the boiling pot to cook.

The steam is steaming, making people's cheeks wet and hot.

Gu Nian pushed Xu Chuyi's protruding head away, "Don't rely on how to get in, be careful of getting burned by the steam."

Xu Chuyi took a step back and looked behind him.

Gu Nian was wearing loose white clothes. The long sleeves were lifted up to her arms, and the veins in her arms were obvious.Black straight pants make those legs look long and straight.

Coupled with the action of carefully putting the rice dumplings into the pot at this time, he looked like a good family man.

Xu Chuyi's memory suddenly emerged. On the day Gu Nian had a fever two years ago, he was busy in the kitchen like this.

At that time, he was still teasing others in his mind, saying that Brother Gu was a good family man, but he didn't know which girl he would take advantage of.

And now...it's cheaper for him, Xu Chuyi!

Gu Nian put the lid on the pot and turned around to see Xu Chuyi with a silly smile on his face. He asked curiously: "What are you thinking about, so happy?"

Xu Chu glanced at the kitchen door, and after confirming that no one would see it, he quickly took a step forward and smacked Gu Nian's face.

"Brother Gu is so virtuous!"

After teasing, Xu Chuyi, whose ears were slightly red, turned around and ran out.

Gu Nian's eyes raised, he turned down the fire, washed some more fruits before going out.

The living room has been tidied up and is not as messy as it was before Gu Nian entered the kitchen.

I think it was those people who were in the living room who just cleaned up everything.

Gu Nian walked over with two plates of fruit, placed them on the table and sat next to Xu Chuyi.

These people didn't know what they were talking about. They were talking and laughing, but Gu Nian didn't care much.

He silently peeled the grapes beside him and put them into Xu Chuyi's mouth one by one.

The others noticed the affectionate gesture but said nothing.

Xu Chuyi was used to it and didn't feel it was inappropriate at all.

An hour later, the rice dumplings came out of the pot.

Gu Nian took it out and placed it on the dining table for public execution.

"This seems... to be mine." Xu Xiaoxing was not sure.

It can be said that except for the shape of the rice dumplings made by Gu Nian and Xu Chuyi, the rest of the rice dumplings were terrible and beyond recognition.

"Second brother, don't doubt it, this is your rice dumpling with a lot of chestnut filling!"

"Is this... still edible?" Xu Xiangzhen was doubtful.

Xu Chuyi was stunned by this question, thought about it seriously, and said falsely: "It should...can't."

Xu Xiangzhen's face froze, and Xu Chuyi suddenly laughed: "You can eat it, but you really can't eat the ones made by me and Brother Gu."

"We have more bags, enough for each person!"
