Jiang Li: “Then I should eat more.”
Cai Xiufen: "Okay, Mom, I'll give you a few more." With that said, Cai Xiufen left the living room.
Aoli Village.
Brigade Headquarters.
Captain Jiang was extremely happy when he received a call from Jiang Li.
“How are you feeling?”
“How are you, Dad, how are you doing lately?”
“You can eat, drink, and feel energetic, so don’t worry about it.”
“It’s better to pay more attention, otherwise my mother and I will be worried.”
“Dad knows, you should also take care of yourself, and pay attention to your mother by the way.”
"Um."
Jiang Li responded, and then said: "I will send something to my family in two days. Dad remember to ask my eldest brother or third brother to pick it up at the post office."
Captain Jiang: “Okay.”
Jiang Li: "I will participate in a competition in Beicheng in a few days. Then, I will continue to make dad proud."
"You have given me a lot of face. These days, my father is very happy. My daughter is very powerful. Wherever I go, my face shines."
Hearing what Captain Jiang said, Jiang Li laughed out loud: "Then I will give dad a lot of face."
“Although I’m very happy that you gave me a face, nothing is more important than your body. Don’t let yourself get tired.” Captain Jiang warned.
Jiang Li responded with a smile: "I know."
After chatting for almost four or five minutes, the two of them hung up the phone.
“Did you talk to your dad on the phone?”
Cai Xiufen walked into the living room carrying a steaming plate of leek and meat dumplings and prepared juice. With a smile on her face, she asked Jiang Li casually.
“I just finished the call.” Jiang Li replied with a smile. Jiang Li sniffed and said with a sweet voice, “It smells so good!”
“Go and wash your hands.”
Chai Xiufen's eyes were full of kindness, and she pursed her lips towards the door of the living room.
“I’ll go right away.”
Getting up, Jiang Li walked briskly and disappeared outside the living room door in a blink of an eye.
“Mom, do you want some more?”
After washing her hands, Jiang Li returned. She sat on the sofa, picked up the chopsticks and looked at her mother with a smile.
Cai Xiufen shook her head: "You can eat it. Ruirui and I are the only ones eating at home at noon. I eat a lot."
“Then I’ll start.”
With smiles in his clear fox eyes, Jiang Li added a fat white dumpling and dipped it in some juice, then took a bite and narrowed his eyes in happiness.
Chai Xiufen: “Is it so delicious?”
Jiang Li nodded like garlic: "Yeah, it's delicious. During those days abroad, I didn't feel anything wrong with the food at first, but after two days, I really wanted to eat my mother's cooking."
“You are the only one with a sweet mouth.” Cai Xiufen smiled fondly but helplessly. She asked, “Are there any restaurants overseas that are run by our countrymen?”
Jiang Li said with a smile: "Yes, there is, but the taste in your mouth is not as authentic as what we eat in our country, and it is not as delicious as the ones made by my mother."
“You can say nice things to make your mother and I happy.” Cai Xiufen smiled broadly: “I see, Hanhan’s sweetness is completely learned from you.”
“You are wrong about that.”
Jiang Li shook her head, then smiled, and said, "Hanhan is born to speak nicely. Like a little sun, she makes people feel warm as soon as she opens her mouth. You didn't learn this from me."
Jiang Li had only three dumplings left in the plate. He felt that there was really no place to eat any more. Jiang Li scratched his chin and acted coquettishly to his mother: "Mom... I can't eat any more. Why don't I eat it again later?" Eat these three, or else...I'll kill them during dinner."
“There’s only leftover left over, and you don’t have to finish the whole plate.” Cai Xiufen picked up the plate and the small porcelain bowl filled with juice, and said:
