A car accident, our family of three crossed

When the children heard the new news, they stopped chasing Yangyang to ask about the follow-up and instead surrounded the wooden block.

"Brother Zhengyue, are you telling the truth?"

"Will the third volume be published after the Dragon Boat Festival? Will it be available in our elementary school by then?"

"Yes, there will be." Mudun nodded firmly.

The samples of the third volume have been delivered to my home. Once it is officially published by Wanjuan Bookstore, the copies I have at home can be put into the library of the elementary school.

"Great!"

The happiest people to hear the news were the children in the village.

After all, the price of a book like that is not cheap. The money for one book can be equivalent to their father's two months of hard work. Even if the family has a lot of extra money, they will not be willing to buy it.

The children in the city are just the opposite. They have never known the feeling of worry since childhood and have never worried about money. They just tell their parents or grandparents what they want, and their parents or grandparents will buy it for them.

They also want what others have, and they want what others don’t have. "The Calabash Brothers" is one of the things they want, and after the third volume comes out, they will definitely ask their parents to buy it for them.

Because, not only their children like to watch it, but also their parents, grandparents, almost everyone likes to watch "The Calabash Brothers".

"It's okay. If our elementary school doesn't have it, I'll ask my dad to buy it for me and bring it over to show you."

"Yes, yes, yes. And me, I'll ask my dad to buy it for me too. Let's watch it together."

Several children patted their chests and made assurances to their friends.

After Song Ning and others prepared all the materials, they shouted in the yard, "Start making zongzi."

When the children heard the shouting, they rushed over from all directions like chicks in a chicken farm being called home to eat food.

Even Li Chengan and others who were reviewing their homework in the study came out after hearing the noise. Song Ning asked them to help Wang Jin set up a long row of tables in the shade, and then went to the kitchen to move out all the materials.

"Okay, the ingredients are all ready. There are dumplings stuffed with peanuts, mung beans, and red beans, some with red dates, and some with meat. Put the dumplings you're going to wrap up into categories so they won't get mixed up."

Song Ning, Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Su were responsible for teaching the children how to make rice dumplings.

"Let me teach you. Let's start by wrapping one with meat filling!" Song Ning was the first to start. He took two pieces of rice dumplings leaves and demonstrated to the children very slowly.

"First, fold the zong leaves into a funnel shape, then put a layer of glutinous rice inside, then put a piece of meat, and cover it with another layer of glutinous rice. Then press it down like this, fold it back, and tie it up with a hemp rope. A zongzi is wrapped."

She put the tied zongzi on her palm for the children to see, and then said: "There are many ways to make zongzi, this one is relatively simple, you can try it too!"

Next, she repeated her teaching slowly several times. Older children like Mudun and Liu Yi followed her and learned it several times. They gradually mastered the trick and finally succeeded in wrapping a zongzi.

However, because they were afraid that the rice would leak out if it was not tied tightly enough, they tied the rice dumplings tightly, which made them not beautiful in appearance.

The other younger children's hands, eyes and brains were not in sync, so they were in a panic and not only failed to wrap a single zongzi, but also tore quite a few zong leaves.

Fortunately, there are enough rice dumplings leaves, so there is no need to worry about them eating them. The most important thing is to participate.

In order to prevent the children who couldn't make the dumplings well from getting discouraged, Song Ning asked them to help pass the dumplings leaves, scoop rice, add meat, pass the hemp ropes, etc.

In this way, the wrapped rice dumplings also have their contribution.

In the end, with such mutual cooperation, all the ingredients were wrapped and several pots of small dumplings were made.

At this time, Li Chengan and his men were ordered to do hard labor again and moved all the rice dumplings into the kitchen.

Two large pots were lit at the same time to cook the rice dumplings, but they still couldn't put all of them in. The excess was moved to Master Liu's house to cook.

Cooking rice dumplings is a relatively long process, and it took nearly an hour and a half to get them out of the pot.

The children smelled the fragrance and were already drooling with greed. They ran to the kitchen from time to time to take a look, finally waiting for the dumplings to come out of the pot.

There are sweet, salty and unseasoned zongzi.

Among them, the salty meat dumplings are the most popular among children, especially those in the village. In the past, they rarely ate meat throughout the year. Even though the quality of life of the villagers has improved overall, the children still rush to eat as long as there is meat.

"Ah! It's so hot."

“Mmm, it’s delicious!”

“It’s so delicious, I want to eat more after I finish it.”

If Song Ning had not had the foresight to prepare more meat filling, there might not be enough rice dumplings to share.

"Be careful, it's hot. Don't be in a hurry. Eat slowly. There are still a lot of them!"

Today, all the children in the primary school stayed in the school for a meal. The main food was rice dumplings, and there were also some baked cakes, pastries, fruits and sweet soup.

All in all, adults and children were all very satisfied with the dinner.

Finally, when the children returned home, each of them was given a few small rice dumplings to take home. In addition to the rice dumplings, each of them also took a handful of vegetables from the vegetable garden, which made the children very happy.

Several children from the city got on the carriage holding rice dumplings and vegetables, and clamored to go home quickly. They wanted to take the rice dumplings home to their mothers and grandparents to eat.

There are also vegetables, which they have grown with great care, and they will ask the chef in the mansion to cook them tonight.

After distributing the rice dumplings to all the children, there were not many left, so Song Ning asked Mr. Liu, Li Chengan and Wang Jin to divide them among three families.

She didn't take her share. After all, there were three children in her family who received some. What's more, Xu also gave a lot to the young men in the family.

There are too many people working in the workshop now, and other ordinary workers are only given a bag of snacks and a red envelope of ten copper coins each. These distributions are left to Manager Zhou.

Only for those close to her family would Song Ning take the trouble to make rice dumplings and give them bonuses.

Xu also cooked two large pots of soup at home today. After the soup came out of the pot, she divided it into many equal portions and put them away. She asked Chen Laoer, who came back home to help at noon, to tell Shuisheng and others to come home to receive the gifts after work in the afternoon.
