Everyone in the Bai family looked at Nan Xiaobao holding a basket full of rice dumplings, and they all showed surprise on their faces, and were stunned for a moment.

At this time, Aunt Wei was the first to come to her senses and asked, "Xiao Qi, why did you bring so many rice dumplings?"

Nan Xiaobao smiled and handed the rice dumplings to Aunt Wei, and replied: "Grandma, these rice dumplings were made by my sister and I these past few days! We brought them here especially for you and everyone else to taste."

When Little Snow White heard this, her big watery eyes widened with admiration, and she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow, sister can actually make rice dumplings! This is amazing!"

Nan Xiaobao looked at Xiao Baixue proudly, and then said: "I also put in a lot of effort!" However, he didn't expect that what Xiao Baixue said next made him feel extremely depressed in an instant.

I only heard Little Snow White casually respond: "Oh, then isn't it my duty to help my sister with work?"

Oh my, this really caused misunderstanding! Nan Xiaobao couldn't help but raised his hand and touched his nose, his face full of helplessness and speechlessness.

In fact, his original intention of saying that just now was just to get a few compliments from this lovely girl, but who knew it would be understood like this.

Oh, it seems he was thinking too much!

After arriving at the living room, everyone found a seat and sat down. Nan Xiaobao smiled and said to Grandpa Bai and the others enthusiastically, "Grandpa and grandma, Xiaoxue! These dumplings are freshly baked and are still steaming hot! Come and try them. My sister is very attentive and has marked the flavors on the dumplings. Whether you like salty or sweet dumplings, there are some for you."

Before he finished speaking, it was seen that Mr. Bai could no longer suppress his inner anticipation. His sensitive nose had long smelled the tempting aroma wafting out of the basket.

At this moment, he couldn't wait to reach out his hand first, quickly picked up a rice dumpling marked with salted egg yolk, gently peeled off the rice dumpling leaves, revealing the golden, shiny glutinous rice and the mouth-watering salted egg yolk inside. Then, he took a bite without hesitation, and instantly, the rich salty and fragrant taste filled his mouth.

After taking the first bite, Mr. Bai felt like he was under a spell and couldn’t stop eating.

He chewed with big mouthfuls, a satisfied smile on his face. Seeing this, Nan Xiaobao turned to look at Xiao Baixue who was sitting next to him and asked softly, "Xiaoxue, do you want sweet or salty rice dumplings?"

Bai Xue blinked her big watery eyes, fixed her gaze on the rice dumpling in her grandfather's hand, and replied eagerly, "I want to eat the rice dumpling that grandpa has, too. I know it must be super delicious just by looking at it!"

As she was about to reach out to take it, Nan Xiaobao quickly stopped her.

Then, Nan Xiaobao skillfully picked up a similar salted egg yolk rice dumpling and peeled off the outer rice dumpling leaves with his fingers in just a few strokes, revealing the crystal clear glutinous rice and golden salted egg yolk.

He handed it to Bai Xue carefully and gently reminded her: "Be careful of the heat, eat slowly."

Bai Xue nodded happily, took the rice dumpling handed to her by Nan Xiaobao, and started to eat it without any hesitation. For a moment, the whole living room was filled with the fragrance of the rice dumpling.

Seeing them eating with gusto and great joy, Nan Xiaobao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a bright smile, and then said softly: "Then Grandpa Bai, Grandma Bai, Xiaoxue, you guys just take your time to eat, my sister is still cooking at home, I have to hurry back to help."

Mr. Bai smiled and nodded, showing his understanding and agreement. When Aunt Wei heard this, she immediately stood up without hesitation and said enthusiastically: "Hey, Xiaoqi, I'll go back with you to help."

Nan Xiaobao saw this and quickly reached out to stop her, waving his hands and refusing, "Grandma, there's really no need to bother you! This is the last pot of zongzi. When I get back, I just need to take them out of the pot and you can eat them."

Aunt Wei asked curiously, "Did you make a lot of zongzi?"

Nan Xiaobao smiled and replied, "Yes, there are more than a thousand! Our family is large, so my sister specially prepared so many."

After saying these words, Nan Xiaobao hurriedly said goodbye to the Bai family and walked quickly towards his home with brisk steps.

Before long, he walked briskly and successfully arrived at the familiar door of his home. Before he even entered the door, a strong and mouth-watering aroma of zongzi was like an invisible hand, pulling Nan Xiaobao to open the door impatiently.

As soon as he walked into the house, the aroma of zongzi unscrupulously penetrated his nose, as if it wanted to wander freely in his body. Following this charming fragrance, he found his sister wearing an apron with cute patterns on it, busying herself in the kitchen alone.

Her figure shuttled back and forth between the stove and the sink, and a layer of fine beads of sweat had already appeared on her forehead. Seeing this, Nan Xiaobao hurriedly quickened his pace and walked forward. Without saying a word, he quickly rolled up his sleeves and joined in the busy work of scooping up the rice dumplings.

Tang Hua saw him take the colander in her hand skillfully and gently, carefully put it into the pot that was rolling with heat waves, and then slowly scoop out the last pot of steaming dumplings one by one.

I didn't care and just watched him work.

Nan Xiaobao couldn't help but take a deep breath, his face full of intoxication, and exclaimed sincerely: "Wow, it smells so good!"

Tang Hua looked at him with a smile and said, "Why? Are you still not full?"

Nan Xiaobao touched his stomach and said, "I'm full, but I can't help wanting to eat when I smell it."

"We can just put it aside, no need to pack it. The weather is starting to get hot, and it will go bad if left outside. I'll put it all in the space later. Grandma and the others should be coming over soon, and we can eat it directly then. It's still hot."

The brother and sister worked together and put in a lot of effort and finally sorted out the pile of dumplings.

At this moment, the sleeping brother and sister seemed to be disturbed by something. They suddenly opened their eyes, and then burst into screaming. The sound of crying came one after another, instantly breaking the original tranquility in the room.

When Tang Hua heard the children's crying, she quickly put down the rice dumplings leaves with glutinous rice grains on them, hurried to the sink to wash her hands, walked out of the room quickly to the babies and coaxed the children first. Only then did she notice a cat meowing beside the bed, which scared the two children.
