After the replacement of the military officer, the soft stepmother won

"How can you slander me like this!" Yang Yuping looked at him in disbelief, "Am I this kind of woman in your eyes?"

Liang Junyan was silent, "That's not what I meant, I just..."

"I will move out after the New Year." Yang Yuping wiped the tears from her face and said, "Take Pan Di with me. From now on, I'll trouble you to take care of Zhao Di."

After saying that, Yang Yuping turned her head and left.

"Yuping..." Liang Junyan stood up and was about to chase after her, but at this time Yang Yuping slammed the door shut, got up and left.

Liang Junyan stood up and hesitated whether to chase after him.

At this time, Zhaodi came out of the room with a teddy bear doll in her arms, sleepily looking, "Dad, did you have a fight with Mom?"

"No." Liang Junyan leaned over and touched Zhaodi's head, "Zhaodi, it's getting late, you should go to bed."

"Yeah." Zhaodi said sleepily.

I guess mom and dad’s relationship is in jeopardy.

She felt a sense of crisis.

"Zhao Di, Happy New Year." Liang Junyan said.

"Well, Dad, Happy New Year." Zhaodi smiled, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and went back home holding her teddy bear.

……

The first day of the new year.

The family compound was filled with the sound of firecrackers.

The sound of firecrackers popped continuously.

Early in the morning, Duoduo and Minghui got up and wore their new clothes to pay New Year's greetings.

During the Chinese New Year, my great uncle Qiu Nian had already left the island and went to Beijing.

There are only grandma, dad and mom at home.

"Grandma, Happy New Year!" Duoduo said in a baby voice.

"Grandma, Happy New Year!" Lu Minghui also spoke.

"Okay, okay, happy new year, little Duoduo." Du Lan handed Duoduo a red envelope and handed Lu Minghui another red envelope, "Happy New Year, Minghui."

The two children received the red envelopes and happily ran to find Lu Jingchuan.

"Happy New Year, Dad!"

"Happy New Year, Dad."

Lu Jingchuan took out two prepared red envelopes from his pocket and handed them to the two children respectively, "Have you seen the red envelopes your mother prepared for you? They are hidden under your pillows."

"Dad, we saw it a long time ago." Duoduo pulled her necklace from her neck and touched the small gourd on it. "Dad, don't you think it looks really good on me?"

"Well, our Duoduo has been beautiful since she was young. She will definitely be a great beauty when she grows up." Lu Jingchuan said with a smile, curling his sexy thin lips.

There is no girl who doesn't like to be praised. After being praised, Duoduo's face turned red and her braids almost stood up.

"You must keep the money your mother gave you well." Lu Jingchuan said, "Don't lose it."

He was not afraid of the two children spending money recklessly. They could spend as much as they wanted. Even if they were squandering money, the money they had now was enough for the two children to spend for a lifetime.

Lu Jingchuan was mainly worried that the two children, at such a young age, would not be able to manage so much money and might lose it, or have it stolen or cheated.

"Dad, don't worry. I put my sister and I's money in my piggy bank. I hid the piggy bank and no one knows where it is," said Lu Minghui.

He also has a small account book that records how much money Duoduo has, how much money he has, and the details of the brother and sister's daily spending.

Most of the time, Duoduo spends her own pocket money.

As an older brother, he likes to spend money on his sister and likes to see his sister happy and satisfied after buying something she likes.

At this time, the brother and sister heard a series of "da da da" sounds.

"What's going on here?"

"The sound seemed to come from the kitchen."

The brother and sister walked towards the kitchen curiously.

At this time, Shen Li was wearing a pink apron and staying in the kitchen. She was holding a long wooden object like a mallet in her hand and was hitting and stirring the contents of a large water tank.

When the father and his two sons came closer, they all smelled the tempting aroma of rice.

"Mom, what is this?" Duoduo opened her eyes wide with curiosity and asked.

"This is rice cake. The traditional handicraft is called hand-beaten rice cake." Shen Li said with a smile. She swung the mallet with her slender white wrist and continued to beat the large ball of rice cake inside.

"Why do you have to do it manually?" Lu Minghui asked.

Shen Li smiled softly, "Because, beating it with your hands can have a more even effect on the glutinous rice dough, making the rice cake more compact and elastic, and tasting better."

"Xiao Li, how can you do such heavy work?" Lu Jingchuan walked over and took the mallet with his big hands, "I'll do it."

"Okay, you knock it and I'll turn it over." Shen Li walked aside.

The man rolled up his sleeves to his elbows, revealing his wheat-colored elbows with smooth and firm muscles.

The man held the big mallet made of a wooden stick and started hitting it again and again.

As he struck, the muscles in the man's arms bulged, exuding a vigorous sense of power.

There was also a constant "bang bang bang" sound coming from the water tank.

Gradually, the rice cake became whiter and even a little crystal clear as it was beaten, and it became more and more dense and well-formed.

Shen Li sucked her hands, wiped them clean, and rubbed some glutinous rice flour on them. Then she turned the rice cake over and asked Lu Jingchuan to beat the other side of the rice cake.

"Dad, I want to make rice cakes, too."

"I want, too."

The two children stared at the rice cakes in the water tank.

Lu Jingchuan gave it to the two children.

Originally, Duoduo thought making rice cakes was interesting and fresh because she saw her father making them so easily. However, she spread her legs, took a horse stance, puffed up her cheeks, and swung the mallet with all her strength. However, she could only swing it a short distance. The mallet made almost no sound when it hit the rice cakes, and the rice cakes in the water tank did not get dented or deformed from being beaten.

Duoduo was a little discouraged.

It seems that I am still too small and not strong enough.

Lu Minghui also tried it. After only three taps, he felt his shoulders were sore and tired.

He needs to drink more milk and eat more so that he can grow taller and bigger. When he grows up, he will probably have as much strength as his father.

Minghui secretly vowed to become a powerful, shining hero like his father in the future!

……

Under Lu Jingchuan's beating, the rice cake was soon solidified.

Shen Li took the rice cake out of the water tank and placed it on a chopping board covered with glutinous rice flour.

The rice cake is snow-white and has a very smooth surface. It looks glutinous and like milk, and exudes an enticing rice aroma that whet your appetite.

Shen Li cut the prepared rice cake into small pieces with a knife.

She made some rice cake fillings, including purple sweet potato, matcha Oreo, salted egg yolk and pork floss, cheese cream, blueberry, and red bean.

Shen Li put the cut rice cake in her hand, stuffed it with purple sweet potato filling, and then kneaded it into a small ball. In this way, a rice cake with filling was ready.
