Cat Slave Training Manual

After buying the vegetables, the two took the bus to the community where Yao Lin lived. It was a fairly large community, but it looked quite old.

"The environment of the community looks pretty good. Does it take 10 minutes to walk from the bus station?"

"Well... almost."

"Doesn't it take you at least half an hour to go to school every day?"

"How did you guess it? It's really similar." Yao Lin was quite surprised.

"Then you said it's not far from the school?"

"It's just that the rent in the community at this distance is cheap." Yao Lin was a little embarrassed. "And half an hour's journey is really close to me."

Following Yao Lin into the community, the two of them didn't speak any more, until they came to a building, Yao Lin stopped and turned to look at Tao Yuheng.

"My house is on the first floor. When you see my grandma later, you...just say I'm a classmate."

"Isn't it the first time you brought a classmate home?" Tao Yuheng asked tentatively.

"Anyway, just don't talk too much with my grandma." Yao Lin avoided looking.

Tao Yuheng was naturally looking forward to it, hoping that he would be the first person to go to Yao Lin's house, but then he remembered the boy he saw in the bookstore. If that person was the same as he guessed, Yao Lin liked it, at least he liked it before. People, it is possible that they also visited Yao Lin's house.

"Grandma, I'm back—"

"I'm back." Grandma Yao who greeted her was stunned. "Who is this……?"

"It's my classmate, in the same class." Yao Lin hastily introduced. "His name is Tao Yuheng."

"Grandma, excuse me." Tao Yuheng greeted politely and decently.

"So it's Xiaolin's classmate, welcome,...it's the first time Xiaolin brings a classmate home." Grandma Yao greeted warmly.

Unexpectedly, the answer I want to know can be heard from grandma. Tao Yuheng couldn't hide the smile on his face. Yao Lin was a little at a loss by grandma's words. He lowered his head and turned around to take the vegetable and meat from Tao Yuheng bag.

"I'm going to the kitchen to prepare, grandma... He, wants to have dinner with us."

"It's already lunch time, so of course we have to stay for dinner." Grandma Yao greeted Tao Yuheng. "Come and watch TV with grandma."

"But don't you need help? I can help choose vegetables."

"No need, the kitchen is too small... two people stand and squeeze together." Yao Lin waved his hand. "If you want to help, wait a minute...you can make dumplings together."

"Then I'll watch TV with grandma."

Yao Lin looked at grandma, "Grandma, you and your classmates don't need to talk about the past,...they are not familiar with each other."

This sentence obviously meant that Yao Lin wanted grandma not to say anything, but grandma Yao didn't care, and dragged Tao Yuheng to watch TV.

"Is Xiaolin still used to being in class?" Grandma Yao asked as soon as she sat down.

"At first it must be hard to get used to, but now I think he is completely fine." Duan Haosheng replied impeccably.

"Then I don't worry, my child is introverted, and he went to such a good school."

"Grandma, don't worry, I think Yao Lin has adapted well."

"Your child is sensible and talkative at first glance, we Xiaolin should learn more from you."

"Why, I think Yao Lin has a very good personality."

"With your letter, I hope he can make friends in school." Grandma Yao picked up an apple. "Come, eat an apple, it has been washed."

The apple handed over was not as big as Tao Yuheng's fist, and there were traces of bumps on the surface. You could feel that the apple was a little soft when you held it in your hand.

"Eat, don't look at the small size of this apple, it's sweet." Grandma Yao urged.

"Thank you grandma." Tao Yuheng took a bite.

"This apple is not too crisp, you young people may not be used to it."

"No, softer apples are sweeter."

Tao Yuheng recalled that he had seen Yao Lin take the school fruit and put it in his schoolbag, and Xiao Yan also told himself that he gave Yao Lin the fruit he "didn't like".

Chatting with Grandma Yao here and there, feeling like a long time had passed, Tao Yuheng finally couldn't help standing up and telling Grandma Yao that he wanted to help Yao Lin.

"I said no more." Yao Lin appeared with two basins. "Don't you want to learn how to make dumplings? Put this on the tea table first."

Tao Yuheng took the basin according to his words. Inside was the stuffing that had been mixed. The smell of the color and aroma made him feel even hungrier.

"Go and wash your hands, the bathroom is over there." Yao Lin motioned to Tao Yuheng.

Tao Yuheng walked towards the bathroom, and Yao Lin followed behind.

"The hand towel is the blue one."

Tao Yuheng didn't expect Yao Lin to follow behind him. He took the towel from the hook to wipe his hands as he said, but when he turned around, he saw that Yao Lin seemed to have something to say.

"Have something to tell me?"

"Today...can you not tell others about your visit to my house?" Yao Lin said in a low voice.

Guessing why Yao Lin said that, Tao Yuheng felt like hugging the person in front of him, telling him not to care about it, but Tao Yuheng restrained this emotion very well, and he must not be impatient with Yao Lin.

"May I ask why?"

"You... are the president of the student union, I don't want people to think that I... am fawning on you.

"I promise you." Tao Yuheng simply agreed.

When the two returned to the living room, Grandma Yao had already put the chopping board on the coffee table with the reconciled dough. Yao Lin went into the kitchen to bring a kitchen knife and a rolling pin.

"What do you need me to do?"

"Wait a minute, I'll roll out some dumpling wrappers first."

Yao Lin cut the dough nimbly, kneaded, cut, flattened, and rolled out the dumpling wrappers. After a while, more than a dozen dumpling wrappers came out under his hands. Tao Yuheng couldn't hide his surprise in his eyes.

"We, Linzi, started to learn how to cook a few years ago." Grandma Yao said as she picked up a dumpling wrapper. "Although he is a boy, his hands are very skillful."

"It's really a coincidence." Tao Yuheng looked at Yao Lin.

I don't know if it was because of Grandma Yao's praise or Tao Yuheng's words, but Yao Lin's face was a little red.

"You are like this, holding the dumpling skin with one hand." Yao Lin picked up the dumpling skin as a gesture.

Tao Yuheng obediently put the dumpling wrapper on his hand, and followed Yao Lin's motion to scoop up a spoonful of filling.

"Put the stuffing in the middle of the dumpling wrapper, and gather it together with a spoon." Yao Lin continued to gesture.

Tao Yuheng carefully scooped up a spoonful of stuffing and followed it seriously, amused Grandma Yao by his tense and slightly stiff movements.

"Don't be nervous, beginners can't do it right away."

"I'm afraid that if the package is not good, it will be wasted." Tao Yuheng said very seriously.

"Then fold the two sides in half and pinch tightly, and then..."

Following Yao Lin's step-by-step instructions, Tao Yuheng finally found a poorly made dumpling. Seeing the round dumpling in Yao Lin's hand, Tao Yuheng felt that the dumplings he made were really ugly.

"I really wrapped it up, it's so ugly..."

Unexpectedly, Yao Lin burst out laughing at his disgusting words, and Tao Yuheng looked at Yao Lin's smiling face in a daze.

"The first time it was wrapped, it was already very good. The stuffing came out when I wrapped it for the first time."

"When you say that, I feel more comforted."

"Xiao Tao is a smart kid at first glance. If you make more dumplings, you will be proficient. You are not afraid of whether they look good or not." Grandma Yao made dumplings quickly.

It was only then that Tao Yuheng discovered that when he followed Yao Lin to make dumplings step by step, Grandma Yao had already made three dumplings, and the fourth dumpling was also formed in her hands.

"As long as you don't think my bag looks ugly." Tao Yuheng smiled.

"Ugly and beautiful, you have to cook and eat it." Yao Lin said and wrapped another one.

Seeing that Yao Lin made a dumpling while talking, Tao Yuheng immediately picked up the second dumpling wrapper and started making the second dumpling without Yao Lin's guidance.The movements were slow, but Tao Yuheng was glad that at least the dumplings he made didn't reveal the filling, otherwise he would feel sorry for Yao Lin and Grandma Yao.

As soon as the first batch of [-] dumplings were wrapped, Yao Lin took the dumplings to the kitchen to cook. Tao Yuheng tried an easier method under the guidance of Grandma Yao.

As the smell of dumplings wafted out, Tao Yuheng felt hungry.

"You eat dumplings, do you need dipping sauce?" Yao Lin came out with dumplings.

"Vinegar is fine." Tao Yuheng fixed his eyes on the dumplings.

Yao Lin brought bowls, chopsticks and vinegar from the kitchen, "Grandma, you and my classmates will eat first."

"How can I do that? Let's eat together." Tao Yuheng immediately objected.

"The dumplings should be wrapped and eaten at the same time, you guys eat the second pot first." Yao Lin handed him the chopsticks.

Knowing that there was no way to persuade Yao Lin, Tao Yuheng had no choice but to accept the chopsticks obediently.
