I can't catch the idol queen

So when I came back this time, I quickly played with a group of children.

Chu Shan followed Grandma Xu and Mother Xu to the kitchen to make dumplings with noodles.

I don't know if it's the habit of the Xu family or the orphanage, but dumplings are eaten during Chinese New Year.

It's still early, but I couldn't bear to feed the entire orphanage, so a few people started early.

Do it in advance, don't rush, don't rush, chat, talk, make dumplings, and make a meal easily.

The work of making the dough was naturally handed over to Mother Xu, while Chu Shan prepared the dumpling fillings.

Wait for the noodles and stuffing to be ready, since it's just officially started.

Although Grandma Xu is old, her hands and feet are nimble. Chu Shan and Mama Xu made dumplings by themselves, but they couldn't keep up with Grandma Xu's rolling dough by herself.

Chu Shan looked at the dumpling wrappers that were getting thicker and thicker in front of her, and broke down instantly.

Dumbfounded, she put a dumpling wrapped in her hand on the chopping board, and said to Grandma Xu, "Grandma Xu, why are you moving so fast? I can't even catch up with you."

Xu's mother's movements are not slow, but she can't compare to Grandma Xu who has been fumbling in the kitchen since she was a child, and already has her own style of cooking.

So when Chu Shan collapsed, she was not much better.

But she didn't act like a baby like Chu Shan, she just smiled at the corner of her mouth, her eyes lingered on Chu Shan and Grandma Xu, and she kept making dumplings at an unabated speed.

Grandma Xu liked Chu Shan since she was a child, and she taught Chu Shan all her cooking skills.

This will hear Chu Shan's soft and weak voice, just like when she was a child, she loves to act coquettishly when she is not as good as herself, and her brows and eyes are filled with a kind smile in an instant.

She slowed down the movement of rolling the dough with her hands, and said dotingly: "We Shanshan can't catch up, so grandma rolls slowly, wait for Shanshan, okay?"

This is exactly what Chu Shan wanted, and she immediately replied crisply: "Okay!"

Seeing the smile on Chu Shan's face, Mother Xu, who had been silent all this time, lingered on Chu Shan's face full of approval for a few seconds before bowing her head and continuing to make dumplings.

The speed at which Grandma Xu rolled the dough slowed down, and the speed at which the three of them made dumplings also relaxed. They chatted and laughed, but they didn't feel the passage of time.

After a while, several chopping boards had been wrapped for the dumplings. While Chu Shan was joking and chatting with Grandma Xu and Mother Xu, she kept paying attention to the time.

When she felt that the time was almost up, she immediately stopped what she was doing.

After saying hello to Grandma Xu and Mother Xu, she brought a chopping board of dumplings and put them in the pot to cook first.

After the big and plump dumplings were cooked and out of the pan, she arranged the food box she brought, put the dumplings in one by one, and added sauces, then took out the food box to Cheng Ye, let him Send it to Shen Mufei.

Of course, as the annual meal of the orphanage, Cheng Ye would naturally be missing.

After all, it was hard work for them to drive back and forth, so when Chu Shan packed the food box, she packed two servings on purpose.

When handing it to Cheng Ye, she specifically asked: "Uncle He, these two copies are the same, one for you and one for the big devil."

"I wish you a Happy New Year."

Cheng Ye and Chu Shan also got to know each other well. Usually Chu Shan has delicious food and would give Cheng Ye a little bit from time to time, so Cheng Ye didn't delay this box of dumplings.

After saying Happy New Year, Cheng Ye took the food box and left straight away.

Watching Cheng Ye leave, Chu Shan went back to make dumplings.

When he entered the kitchen, he found only Mama Xu was alone.

Chu Shan was a little puzzled, and was about to ask a question, but Mother Xu answered her first.

"Mom has gone back to the manor, come back later."

"There are also people eating over there, and they have paid for the food, all at once. It has been paid for a year, so there is no delay."

It's not unusual for people to come to eat in the manor, but it's shocking to pay for a year's food at one time.

Chu Shan couldn't help asking: "Who is it? How did you pay for food for so long?"

"I was just going to tell you about this." Xu's mother kept making dumplings, and said while making dumplings, "It's the group of people who came to inspect the project a few months ago."

"Before you asked me to find out what project they were working on, I paid attention to it, but they did a good job of keeping secrets, so there has been no news."

Chu Shan knew that if Mother Xu noticed, she would definitely tell her.

There has been no news for several months, and most of them have not heard about it.

But this will be brought up, could it be...

"Any news?" Chu Shan held a dumpling wrapper and looked up at Mother Xu.

Seeing that Chu Shan was paying attention, Ms. Xu didn't make too much fuss or tantalize her appetite, and replied directly: "There is news."

"It seems to be developing a tourist attraction in Unity Town."

"Tourist attractions?" Chu Shan stopped making dumplings: "Where is it?"

"At the foot of the mountain on the south side of the town."

Xu's mother continued to make dumplings, her tone was very relaxed: "Actually, I didn't inquire about it, but saw it."

"That group of people made a lot of noise, they were approving places, and they were engaged in development. At first, I didn't know what they were doing, but after a few months passed, and when it was closed this year, what they were doing had already taken shape."

"Now anyone with a discerning eye will know that this is a tourist attraction development."

It is good to develop and build in Tuanjie Town, at least it will boost the town's economy, so Mother Xu is very happy.

When she was happy, she didn't forget to ask Chu Shan: "Shanshan, why did you pay attention to them all the time?"

A tourist attraction, not a resort.

I can't say what it feels like, I'm a little bit disappointed, but I'm generally happy.

When Xu's mother asked, she smiled and replied: "No, a friend said that he would come here to open a resort, so you said that someone here is inspecting the project and preparing to develop it. I thought it was my friend."

"But whether it's a resort or a tourist attraction, it's good for our town."

Yes, they are all good, and their starting point is the same as hers.

Thinking this way, I feel a lot better in my heart, and even my smile is a lot more sincere.

Mother Xu agreed after hearing what Chu Shan said, "Yes, everything is good."

"Our town is too poor. If the town's economy is brought up, the children in the yard will suffer less."

Chu Shan smiled again, nodded, and said yes.

Now that the project development of Unity Town has come to an end, there is no need to look forward and worry anymore, Chu Shan is completely relieved.

Looking at the unfinished dumpling wrappers, Chu Shan didn't intend to talk about this topic, so she put all her thoughts on making dumplings.

Mother Xu was not idle either, she was making dumplings at the same speed as Chu Shan.

The speed of the two making dumplings increased, and soon, the dumpling wrappers left by Grandma Xu were finished by the two of them.

After wrapping the dumpling wrappers, there was still a lot of dough left, so Mother Xu took over the job of rolling the dough wrappers, and Chu Shan continued to make dumplings.

When Xu's mother was rolling out the dough, she said to Chu Shan as if chatting: "Shanshan, you have grown up, and the speed of making dumplings has caught up with me!"

Chu Shan looked up when she heard the sound, and saw Mother Xu looking at her with a smile in her eyes.

After watching for two seconds, Chu Shan immediately understood what Xu's mother meant, stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, and said with a smile, "I've grown up."

In fact, it was a lie to say that the speed of making dumplings could not keep up with Grandma Xu's. She was just afraid that she and Mama Xu's speed of making dumplings was too fast, and Grandma Xu's speed of rolling dough could not keep up.

In order not to make the elderly tired, I deliberately said that I couldn't catch up, so that everyone's speed would slow down.

This will not strain the wrist, but also give Grandma Xu, who has loved the kitchen all her life, the joy of rolling dough.

Xu's mother saw through Chu Shan's purpose just now, and knew that Chu Shan was always a caring girl, and she didn't want to let Chu Shan's purpose fail, so she kept silent.

And this will be said, just because she doesn't want this girl's kindness to be buried like this.

Not only this matter, but also another matter, which she kept in her heart for a long time, and never found a chance to say it.

This meeting just happened to be a good time, so she didn't intend to hold back. After pondering for a while, she stopped rolling the dough and watched Chu Shan speak seriously.

"Shanshan, let me ask you something about Da Baoer, you..."

"I want to adopt him!"

Chu Shan's words continued without waiting for Xu's mother to finish.

And this matter is also one of the things she will do when she comes back today.

She had thought a lot about Da Baoer before.

There are too many children in the orphanage. It is too tiring to rely on Grandma Xu and Mother Xu alone.

It is impossible to help adopt many, but she still has the ability to adopt one.

Da Baoer was brought back by her, and taking Da Baoer was the best choice.

Although there are still many children in the orphanage who are suitable for adoption, for her, Da Baoer is the most suitable one.

From when she brought Da Bao'er back, from when she left the orphanage to step into the society, from when Da Bao'er got sick, from when she determined to treat Da Bao'er's illness, to give Da Bao'er a healthy childhood, and even a lifetime.

She already has, and has never changed, the desire to treat Da Baoer as her own brother and raise her.

Mother Xu is also concerned about this issue. Da Baoer has not returned to the orphanage for a long time and has been staying with Chu Shan.

Therefore, the adoption procedures for him have been difficult.

If it is said to be adopted by someone else, since this person is not in the orphanage, let Chu Shan adopt him, but no letter of approval has been obtained, so Mother Xu has been pretending to be this matter in her heart, never forgetting.

This meeting got Chu Shan's approval, and she didn't feel any big disturbance in her heart, but her eyes were slightly red.

Mother Xu looked at Chu Shan and said seriously, "It's Da Baoer's blessing. He is a blessed child, and you are also a blessed child."

"You will all be safe and healthy, and your life will go smoothly."

Every child in the orphanage is mother Xu's darling, Chu Shan is, and Da Bao'er is too.

Seeing them have a good home is Xu's lifelong hope and long-cherished wish.

Chu Shan didn't speak. She could fully understand Xu's mother's mood at this moment, knowing that no matter how much she said, she could not silently accept Xu's mother's blessing.

"Let's go through the adoption procedures of Da Bao'er today." Mother Xu eased her mood, and then started to talk about business: "You will be busy next time, maybe you won't have time to come over."

"After the New Year's Eve, Da Bao'er will also go to school, and there will be no time then."

For this, Chu Shan also had the same idea, so she didn't have any objections. Hearing this, she just responded softly: "Just do what Xu's mother said."

The news that Chu Shan was going to adopt Da Baoer quickly spread in the Happy Paradise Orphanage. Many playmates who had a good time with Da Baoer came to hug him and say goodbye with tears in their eyes, and promised to come back more often in the future. , can not forget each other.

The friendship between children is in every word.

Chu Shan looked at Da Baoer and the others, as if seeing herself when she was a child.

At that time, she also had good playmates. When those playmates were adopted away, she would seriously say goodbye to them, and then seriously tell her playmates that she must visit them often in the future. Her, don't forget her.

But the adopted playmates basically never saw each other again.

There are many who played well in the past, and it seems that I can’t remember the names, but I seem to remember one or two.
