Ni Cuihua rolled up her sleeves and protested, “What’s so tiring about this? You’re the one who really works hard!”
She has been seeing Ni Yang’s daily toil.
Unfortunately, she could not help Ni Yang much and could only handle the house chores so that Ni Yang wouldn’t worry.
At this mont, being able to help Ni Yang by making dumplings, Ni Cuihua felt very happy.
She finally felt like she could lend Ni Yang a hand.
After leaving Ni Cuihua with the rolling pin, Ni Yang went to retrieve pickled vegetables from the courtyard.
The pickles were perfectly preserved, with elents like millet pepper, Szechuan pepper, raw ginger, and others. As the lid for the pickling jar was opened, a tempting aroma wafted out, making one’s mouth water.
As Ni Yang squatted by the pickling jar, two adorable bunnies scuttled up to sniff at her feet, looking absolutely precious.
These two bunnies were part of the group she caught from the mountain last ti.
A month went by and the tiny bunnies grew into proper-sized rabbits.
They were plump.
In a few more months, they could be used for spicy rabbit head or braised rabbit at.
Ni Yang grabbed a generous amount of pickles, then brought up a chunk of pork belly from the well.
The pickles, which were already very fragrant, paired with the chunk of pork belly, made for an excellent combination. Ni Yang could not help but salivate as she was filling the dumplings.
When Ni Yang finished filling the dumplings, Ni Cuihua finished rolling out all the dumpling skins.
Ni Cuihua’s thod was accurate, each dumpling skin being uniform in size and perfectly thin.
Ni Yang placed the prepared fillings on the stove, picked up dumpling skin and asked, “Mom, can you teach too?”
Ni Cuihua replied with a smile, “Why bother? Let mom handle little things like making dumplings. Go get so sleep, otherwise you’ll be up early tomorrow.”
Ni Yang shook her head saying “It’s still early, 1 wouldn’t be able to fall asleep even if 1 tried. Let’s wait a while longer.”
Ni Cuihua’s speed and accuracy in dumplings making were remarkable. In rely a few seconds, she had a dumpling ready and each was shaped like pretty Liao Ye, even more appealing than the ones sold in the streets. Ni Yang felt hungry just watching and said, “Mom, make more dumplings. Let’s have dumplings for lunch tomorrow.”
“Okay.” Ni Cuihua nodded and pressed, “Yangyang, be honest with . How did you get to know that Xiaomo today?”.
She had a hunch that there was more to it.
Ni Yang answered nonchalantly, “It’s just like I told you. 1 was retrieving a fishing trap from the river, and he thought I was going to jump in the river…” “Really?” Ni Cuihua looked doubtfully into Ni Yang’s eyes.
“Really.” Ni Yang nodded lightly.
Ni Cuihua continued, “Actually, Xiaomo seems to be a decent kid. Your mom was thinking…”
The rest of her words were left unsaid.
Mo Qishen definitely captured Ni Cuihua’s approval. He was eloquent, cultured, and from his attire, his family situation seed well off. Most importantly, as a woman who had been through it all, she could tell that Mo Qishen harbored special feelings for Ni Yang.
Although it was faint, if you paid close attention, you could notice.
They say that a girl’s fate is like a seed, when it lands on fertile ground, it grows with no worries and reaps a lifeti of bliss. But when it lands on barren land, no matter how much effort is put into it, it can’t take root and survive.
Ni Yang was seventeen this year, and for this reason, Ni Cuihua didn’t want Ni Yang to miss out on Mo Qishen.
As a mother, she didn’t just want her daughter to find love, but also material stability.
This is reality.
A union without material assurance is fragile.
Because, love will one day lose to the demands of daily life.
“Mom, why are you thinking about such things? He and 1 are from different worlds. Plus, 1 have to focus on my studies to get into university. From now on, I don’t want you thinking about these things!” Ni Yang quickly cut off Ni Cuihua’s words.
Maybe the incident from her past life left a deep impact on Ni Yang, who remained uninterested in the idea of marrying a man so far.
The phrase “rely on a man” was not in her dictionary.
Whether it was her previous life or the current one.
She only depended on herself.
In this world, the only person you can rely on, is yourself.
Ni Cuihua smiled helplessly, “Okay, okay, I won’t ntion it. As long as you know what you’re doing. Even if you want to go to university, you still have to get married one day, right? You can’t possibly stay single forever!”
Since Ni Yang wasn’t agreeable, Ni Cuihua wouldn’t force her to comply.
After all, a coerced lon is never sweet.
“I just don’t want to get married. 1 want to be with you forever.” Ni Yang held Ni Cuihua’s neck gently and spoke her mind..
