I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life

There were several people standing in the kitchen, so cramped that they could hardly turn around. The two brothers Xu Congwen and Xu Cong'an could only stand at the door helplessly, staring at the excitement in the kitchen. On the stove, two large pots were making gurgling sounds, and hot white steam was swirling up. Xu Cong'an was a little short, and he tried to tiptoe to see more clearly. I saw the round and cute dumplings being gently put into the pot, and then they rolled happily in the boiling water, as if a group of little fat people were dancing happily. Looking at this scene, Xu Cong'an's stomach gurgled unconsciously, and he swallowed his saliva involuntarily.

Xu Congyi turned her head to look at the door inadvertently, and happened to catch the greedy look of her second brother. She smiled and shook her head, and said softly: "Don't worry, the dumplings are not cooked yet, you go wash your hands first and get ready to eat." Hearing her sister's words, Xu Congan nodded obediently and turned to wash his hands.

When Xu Cong'an washed his hands and returned to the kitchen, the dumplings were already cooked, steaming hot and emitting an enticing aroma. He hurriedly helped his brother to serve the dumplings to the table. When the family members sat down one after another, he couldn't wait to pick up a dumpling and put it in his mouth.

Finally, it was time to taste the food. Xu Cong'an couldn't wait to pick up a dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation. However, the soup in the dumpling was much hotter than he had imagined. A burning sensation instantly spread in his mouth. He grimaced in pain and shouted incoherently: "Wow! It's so hot! It's so hot!"

Xu Congyi, who was sitting next to him, saw his appearance. Although she felt a little funny, she was more concerned. She quickly stood up, poured a glass of cold water, handed it to Xu Cong'an, and said, "Spit it out quickly, and then drink some cold water!" Xu Cong'an listened to his sister's words, quickly spit out the dumplings in his mouth, and then took the cold water and drank it in big gulps. The cool feeling of the cold water relieved his tongue a little, and his frown gradually relaxed.

After hearing what his sister said, Xu Cong'an spit out the dumplings in his mouth and took the cold water, drinking it in big gulps. The cool feeling of the cold water made his tongue feel a little relieved, and his expression became a little more relaxed.

Seeing that her second brother was fine, Xu Congyi was relieved. "Don't be too anxious, the dumplings are delicious!" She joked, "Today's dumplings are stuffed with pork and cabbage. I deliberately didn't squeeze the water out of the cabbage in the dumplings too much, so that the dumplings would be full of juice when you bite them."

With the previous lesson in mind, this time Xu Cong'an bit half of the dumpling first, and sure enough, the soup in the dumpling flowed out. He blew it to cool before eating it. This time he really tasted the fragrance of the dumplings, which had a thin skin, tender filling, and delicious taste.

Xu Congyi poured an appropriate amount of vinegar into her bowl according to her taste. She took a bite of the dumpling, poured the soup in the dumpling into the bowl, and mixed it with the vinegar. In this way, the meaty aroma of the dumplings was integrated into the vinegar, which not only satisfied Xu Congyi's habit of dipping dumplings in vinegar, but also avoided the problem of vinegar being too sour. After the vinegar mixed with the meat juice in the dumplings, it tasted even better when dipped in. However, Xu Congyi still felt that something seemed to be missing, and always felt that the taste could be richer. So, she got up and went to the kitchen, took the fried chili oil, mixed the chili oil and vinegar together, and the dumplings were no longer as hot as when they were just out of the pot. Xu Congyi picked up a dumpling, gently dipped it in the chili vinegar, and paired it with the refreshing pickles pickled by Li Dahua. The taste was simply delicious. She ate with relish, her eyes unconsciously narrowed, and she was completely immersed in this deliciousness.

Xu Cong'an, who was sitting at the side, felt itchy in his heart when he saw his sister enjoying the meal so much. His little eyes were rolling around. As a twin brother, Xu Congwen had guessed what his brother was thinking. Sure enough, while Xu Congyi was chewing the dumplings in his mouth, Xu Cong'an quickly picked up a dumpling and put it into Xu Congyi's bowl. Xu Congyi's mouth was bulging, and when he was about to swallow the dumpling and say "thank you, second brother", Xu Cong'an quickly used chopsticks to dip the dumpling in the chili vinegar soup in her bowl, and then picked it up and put it into his own mouth.

“……”Xu Congyi was speechless.

"You little brat! Why don't you just pour some vinegar and chili into your bowl!" Li Dahua's voice rang out. Old Man Xu and Mother Xu couldn't help but want to laugh when they looked at their grandson. They wanted to pretend to put on a stern face and let Xu Cong'an eat the food in his bowl well, but they really couldn't hold it back any longer.

"It tastes better when dipped in my sister's vinegar sauce," Xu Cong'an answered vaguely while chewing. Of course, he inevitably suffered the cold stares from his family members, "Good sister, please help me make the sauce. I always think that the sauce you make tastes better!"

Xu Congyi laughed and poured vinegar and chili oil into Xu Congan's bowl. Before he finished pouring, he saw a few more bowls stretched out to the side. He looked up and saw that the rest of the family also stretched out their bowls.

The family sat around the dining table, tasting delicious dumplings and chatting. The two brothers excitedly shared what they saw and heard in the school. They described the interesting things in the classroom and told the interesting stories of their classmates, and everyone listened with relish. The Xu family is the king of flattery. No matter who speaks, there will be someone who echoes and laughs, and the whole house is full of laughter. Xu Congyi was immersed in this warm atmosphere, a little dazed. It was a cold winter night outside, but it was warm as spring inside. The family sat together, laughing and having fun. Such a scene made her feel extremely happy. The dumplings on the table are one of her favorite foods, and they are especially delicious at this moment. Once upon a time, she also thought about how nice it would be if she could have a warm home, and now, she really has such a home.

Thinking of this, Xu Congyi's nose was sore and she almost couldn't control her emotions. She didn't want to cry in front of her family, so she pretended to go to the kitchen to get some dumpling soup and walked out of the room. In the yard, she wiped the corners of her eyes and took a deep breath of cold air to calm herself down.

……

"Dumpling soup is here, original soup dissolves original food!" Xu Congyi walked into the room carrying a large pot of dumpling soup. She adjusted her steps carefully, fearing that the soup in the pot would spill. And Xu the Hunter hurried over to take over the heavy pot.

Everyone scooped a bowl of dumpling soup. After eating the dumplings, drinking a bowl of warm dumpling soup was a real treat. Xu Congyi hadn't eaten dumplings for a long time, and she couldn't help eating a lot today. She would feel warm after eating, but after a bowl of dumpling soup, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead. She sighed with satisfaction. Xu Congan, who was full, didn't plan to drink the soup, but seeing the look on his sister's face when she drank the dumpling soup, he couldn't help but scoop a big bowl and took a big sip, almost choking.

When Xu Cong saw his second brother's look, he couldn't help but shook his head, "Second brother, do you know Journey to the West?"

"Journey to the West? What is that? Is it a storybook?"

"More or less," Xu Congyi drank the soup slowly, "You look a lot like Zhu Bajie."

"What is Zhu Bajie?" Xu Cong'an asked stupidly.

"Nothing, just a character in a storybook," Xu Congyi did not continue speaking and just drank his soup. However, careful people would find that Xu Congyi was just pretending to drink the soup, but was actually laughing.
