"Wow, so many dumplings!" Yang Ruoqing cheered.

Take out the plates of dumplings and place them on the table. There are three plates in total.

One plate is pure white rice dumplings.

A plate of dumplings wrapped in wheat flour...

The third plate has green dumpling wrappers, which are obviously made by squeezing out the juice from the vegetables when kneading the dough.

"Ah, I didn't expect these little bandits to be so unambiguous when it comes to eating!" Yang Ruoqing said with a smile.

"Is this made with spinach or cabbage?" she asked, pointing to the green plate.

Zuo Junmo said: "The dough is kneaded with spinach juice and stuffed with onions and mutton. It's very spicy. Be careful when you eat it."

Yang Ruoqing curled her lips, "Hot girls haven't been afraid of spicy food since they were young, but hot girls are afraid that it's not spicy enough!"

Zuo Junmo also laughed.

Pointing to the other two plates, he said, "The wheat flour one is stuffed with wild mushrooms and pork, and the rice dumplings are stuffed with red beans and candied dates, which are very sweet."

"Wow, Brother Zuo, how do you know so clearly? Could it be that you were watching from the side while they were making dumplings?" Yang Ruoqing asked jokingly.

He grabbed the chopsticks and put a piece of mutton stuffing into his mouth. His cheeks suddenly looked like a big-mouthed monkey.

Zuo Junmo smiled gently.

Each of these dumplings was made by himself.

Growing up, he did most things by himself, but when it came to the kitchen, he was a layman.

But making dumplings, he has been learning it for a long time.

Because in the first month of last year, he came over to pay New Year greetings and saw Yang Ruoqing eating two plates of dumplings in one go at the dinner table, so he secretly remembered it.

Over the past year, whenever he had free time, he would study how to make dumplings.

Tonight, it finally came in handy.

"Is it delicious?" Zuo Junmo asked quickly when he saw her finishing the first one.

Yang Ruoqing nodded repeatedly, picked up another one and put it in her mouth.

She gave him the answer directly through her actions.

Zuo Junmo's anxious heart finally relaxed.

He came and sat down opposite her, watching her eat with relish.

Yang Ruoqing grabbed another pair of chopsticks on the table and handed them to him, saying vaguely: "Brother Zuo, you can eat too."

Zuo Junmo smiled and shook his head slightly: "I tasted the dumplings when they came out of the pot. These are specially brought to you."

"Brother Zuo is so kind to me. He knows that I like to eat dumplings and brings so many of them." Yang Ruoqing said with a smile.

Zuo Jun curled his lips with ink.

As long as it's what you like to eat, Brother Zuo will remember it in his heart. However, Brother Zuo can't be like Brother Fengtang. I don't have the position to please you openly.

"Brother Zuo, why don't you eat two more with me? It's boring for me to eat alone!"

When Yang Ruoqing's voice reached her ears again, she picked one up with her clean chopsticks and brought it to his mouth.

Zuo Junmo originally wanted to say not to eat, but his mouth opened unexpectedly and bit the dumpling.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Zuo Junmo's eyes lingered on her face and said: "It's so sweet."

"Sweet?" Yang Ruoqing opened her eyes wide and subconsciously looked at the plate of dumplings she had just picked up.

"Brother Zuo, I obviously gave it to you with wild mushroom and pork stuffing. Why is it so sweet?" she asked in confusion.

Zuo Junmo came back to his senses and said hurriedly: "I made a mistake, it was delicious, haha..."

He was a little embarrassed, and his handsome face turned a little red.

Yang Ruoqing didn't think too much about this small detail, but continued to eat with relish.

On the one hand, it’s because the Chinese New Year is celebrated tonight, and secondly, Brother Zuo brought this here because it was Brother Zuo’s wish.

Sometimes acceptance is also a way to make yourself happy and satisfy the other person.

And the last point is also the most important point.

These supplies came from my son's copycat. The pork and mutton were raised by his son, and the vegetables were grown by his own hands.

It tastes delicious.

So even though she had actually eaten a lot during the night, she was now eating, eating, eating!

Finally, touching her round belly, Yang Ruoqing let out a sigh of relief.

"It has been seven years. Although this New Year's Eve cannot be celebrated with my family, it is the happiest year I have ever had."

She looked at Zuo Junmo and sighed.

In the past seven years, Chen'er never got better. When he was busy, he could suppress this matter in his heart for a short time.

But during the holidays, when it’s the busiest and most festive time, I can’t hold it back no matter what.

I always think of it, and when I think of it, I feel heartbroken and sad.

On New Year's Eve this year, she finally found her son's whereabouts. She felt as if her life was about to be relived and she was about to welcome a new life.

"Brother Zuo, I'm so happy tonight. Come on, I'll offer you a bowl of wine!"

Yang Ruoqing took out most of the jar of fruit wine that she had not finished drinking at the banquet, and poured two bowls, one for herself and one for Zuo Junmo.

"Brother Zuo, this is the first bowl, I respect you, sister." Yang Ruoqing said.

"This is the New Year's Eve. You didn't go back to have the New Year's Eve dinner with the old lady, but you came here with me to find my son. I'm grateful to you!"

Zuo Junmo said hurriedly: "Since you call me brother, there is no need to say these crude words."

Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips, her eyes filled with emotion and gratitude.

"Okay, if you don't say anything about life, then everything is in the wine. I'll do it first. Brother Zuo, you can do whatever you want!"

She drank every drop of the wine in the bowl.

Zuo Junmo smiled and picked up the wine bowl in front of him. He poured it all into his mouth gracefully.

"Brother Zuo is happy to find Chen'er and see you reunited with Brother Fengtang's family," he said.

"This is the second bowl, let Brother Zuo come to honor you, and wish you mother and son to meet each other soon and reunite the family!" He said, then raised his head and drank every drop of the wine in the bowl again.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and said: "I like to hear this, I will follow you!"

A bowl of wine also went into her stomach, and she felt like her stomach was about to explode.

Opposite me, Zuo Junmo continued: "Then Qing'er, what are your plans next?"

When asked about this, Yang Ruoqing pondered for a moment and said: "Brother Wang and Brother Liu both said before Chen'er left, they didn't say when they would be back."

"I just mentioned a vague date, it should be after the Lantern Festival,"

"I just guessed that the family that adopted Chen'er must be a wealthy family. Otherwise, Chen'er wouldn't have learned such a skill in both civil and military affairs."

Regarding Yang Ruoqing's speculation, Zuo Junmo nodded secretly, and he agreed with her words.

Yang Ruoqing continued: "Since it is a wealthy family and there are many rules there, Chen'er will probably not be able to come back until after the Lantern Festival when he goes back."

Speaking of this, Yang Ruoqing was a little confused. Since that wealthy family raised Chen'er so well,

Why not leave Chen'er at home and study hard to seek fame in the future?

Why let a child like him run around and even end up in a bandit's den?

Seemingly sensing Yang Ruoqing's confusion, Zuo Junmo explained: "After you returned to the house earlier, Brother Wang stayed with me to say a few words in private."

"Is it about Chen'er?" Yang Ruoqing asked quickly.

Zuo Junmo nodded.
