"Mom, why did you pour so much flour out?"

Lin Mengyun usually thinks about food carefully, and the vegetables and steamed buns for every meal are just right.

"Today is the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month. I will make some salt and pepper dumplings for the children to eat."

Before there were purchase restrictions, Lin Mengyun would make some salt and pepper dumplings and cat ears every year before the Chinese New Year to entertain New Year guests.

On the island, we eat more vegetables than rice, and we also have extra flour at home, which can be used to make pasta.

Lin Mengyun just wanted to make a dish that he used to make every year.

"Mom, I don't know how to do it. I'll do it for you."

Song Ranran had never eaten a snack called steamed buns, so she followed Lin Mengyun's example and started to make noodles.

Fortunately, she had learned longevity noodles before, and over the past few years, her noodle-making skills had gotten better and better.

"Grandma, Mother Song, what delicious food are you making?"

Gu Aimin had just returned home from playing wildly outside. There was a streak of mud on his face and his clothes were dirty.

"Grandma will make some salt and pepper dumplings for you. Mom, save some flour and make some sweet dumplings!"

Song Ranran took out half a pack of sugar from the locker and planned to learn how to make it.

In the future, when the babies grow up, you can also make it for them to eat.

"You can try it!"

Lin Mengyun has only made traditional salt and pepper steamed buns, but as times progress, food can also be improved.

In the past few months on the island, Lin Mengyun has eaten many dishes that she has never tasted before.

"Aimin, come over and light the fire. Grandma is going to start frying the dumplings."

The noodles are all kneaded and proofed, and they are just waiting to be fried and fried.

"Grandma, I'm here."

Gu Aimin is always on call when it comes to making delicious food.

"Mom, I'll fry the rest, and you'll be there to guide me."

Song Ranran watched Lin Mengyun fry the dumplings several times. She took the long wooden chopsticks and imitated Lin Mengyun's previous movements and started frying the dumplings.

With Lin Mengyun's personal guidance, all the dumplings were fried in less than half an hour.

Lin Mengyun saw that Gu Aimin was almost crying, so she gave him a portion of the sweet dumplings and the salt and pepper dumplings.

"Grandma, the dumplings are so delicious! I'll take them to eat with my brother."

Gu Aimin ran to the living room with the steamed buns and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gu Aiguo reading extracurricular books.

"Brother, grandma's fried dumplings are delicious, but it's a pity that my younger brothers and sisters haven't grown teeth yet, so they can only drink milk."

"Mom, these dumplings are crispy and bubbly and not greasy. The salt and pepper are dry and crispy, and the sweetness is sweet and delicious. They are all delicious."

The dumplings can be stored for a long time without deterioration, and can even be stored for half a month in the summer on the island.

If you were in Yanjing, fried dumplings could be kept for three months at this time.

It can be eaten dry or cooked. It is one of the delicacies with a long history in China.

"Ah, Mother Song, my tooth fell out again!"

Gu Aimin was eating deliciously when he suddenly spit out a baby tooth.

"Is it the upper teeth or the lower teeth this time? If it's the lower teeth, throw it on the roof. If it's the lower teeth, throw it under the bed."

Children usually lose their teeth when they are six to eight years old. In the past, the brothers were severely malnourished and their bones did not get enough calcium, let alone their teeth.

It was a month after they arrived on the island that they started to lose their teeth.

Song Ranran poured a glass of cold water for Gu Aimin to rinse his mouth.

"This time it's for the upper teeth. I'll throw it under the bed after I finish eating."

Gu Aimin is a foodie. After rinsing his mouth, he was not in a hurry to throw away his fallen teeth and continued to eat the sweet and delicious noodles.

During this year, the two brothers lost teeth every once in a while, and Song Ranran was used to Gu Aimin being surprised.

Seeing that Gu Aimin didn't take it seriously, Song Ranran went back to the kitchen to help Lin Mengyun make fried radish balls.

On the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, the New Year pig is killed.

Song Ranran and the others did not need to go back to Yanjing today. The black-faced uncle killed the New Year pig in the morning and pushed a half pig into the yard in the afternoon just like last year.

"Your pigs are really well raised. You can eat the oil for several months after boiling it off."

"The three hind legs are made into ham, the front legs and pork belly are made into bacon, and the remaining pork is made into sausages and pork breasts, ribs and pig heads...... .”

Before the black-faced uncle moved the pork down, Lin Mengyun had already planned the return journey of all the pork.

"Uncle, how many kilograms of pork are there in total this time?"

The men in the family are all carnivores. The current pigs are all natural and have never eaten pig feed. The total amount of pork from one and a half pigs only weighs more than 100 kilograms.

Bacon sausages and pork jerky can be kept for a long time.

The black-faced uncle reported the number, and Song Ranran went upstairs to take out the cash and gave it to him.

On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, Lin Mengyun took Song Ranran and the twins to smoke bacon sausages, stewed pork, fried meatballs, stewed ribs, and braised pig heads.

On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, let’s make a haircut.

On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Song Ranran’s father Song Dongyang, who was in Yanjing, arrived at the island with Gu’s father.

Gu Beicheng drove Song Ranran to pick them up.

"Dad, dad, we are here!"

People on the ship walked off the lower deck one after another.

Father Gu and Song Dongyang were both tall, and Song Ranran could see them at a glance.

She stood next to the car holding a handwritten sign high so they could see it at a glance.

Both of them were wearing military green clothes, and they walked up to them in a short while.

"Dad, father-in-law!"

"Dad, Dad, it's been a hard journey. Let's go home quickly."

The three grown men are all talkative types, so Song Ranran can only adjust the atmosphere.

"It's not hard. Last year I was still a father. This year I not only became a grandfather, but also a grandpa."

Song Dongyang saw that Song Ranran's face was rosy and shiny, her skin was even tenderer than when she was a girl, her smart eyes seemed to be able to talk, and there was a happy smile between her eyebrows. At first glance, she seemed to be pampered by her son-in-law.

"Ok!"

Song Ranran didn't know how to get along with Song Dongyang, whom she had rarely gotten along with before.

Relationships between people depend on long-term interactions and communication.

Song Ranran had already received dedicated father's and mother's love in her previous life. For parents who have many children in this life, Song Ranran has a receptive attitude.

After a few people got in the car, Song Ranran sat in the passenger seat, and Song Dongyang and Gu's father sat in the back seat.

"The weather on the island is really different from that in Yanjing. It's no wonder that the man in my family is so happy that he wants to live with his son and wife in the future."

When Lin Mengyun first came to the island, Gu's father was still a little happy.

My daughter-in-law is a doctor and usually has a lot of care. She is not allowed to smoke or sit for long periods of time. There are even regulations on the couple's life. They cannot exceed the prescribed number of times a week.

But after a long time, he was alone at home, with no one to talk to, and no one to cook. He ate in the canteen every day, watching other people busy, and wanted her to return to Yanjing as soon as possible.

Who doesn't have three or four children now? The children are all one month old, and they don't want to go back to Yanjing yet, so they let him come to the island to celebrate the New Year.

"Dad, here we are surrounded by water and the temperature is high. You can eat fresh vegetables and fruits all year round. Not only are fish, shrimp and seafood cheap, but as long as you have money, you can eat enough pork every day."

After driving home for only a few minutes, Song Ranran briefly introduced the current situation of the island to them.

If Song Ranran didn't speak, the car would be too quiet. None of the three men could actively liven up the atmosphere.
