After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 663 The whole family makes dumplings together, I'm very strong

When the two arrived at the banquet hall, it was already bustling with activity.

Before marrying Li Fulin, Tao Junman came from a middle-class family where both parents were teachers. She was not a pampered rich girl who never lifted a finger. She could not only prepare a meal with ease, but also do so flawlessly.

Although I rarely cook after getting married, I haven't let my skills go to waste. At least during Chinese New Year, I still make dumplings for my family by hand.

The chef at the old house was busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner in the kitchen, while a family of three sat around a table outside, each with a clear division of labor.

Li Jingmo's hands, which are usually used to holding scalpels, are now holding a rolling pin.

If the dough isn't rolled out perfectly round or is uneven in thickness, the mother sitting next to the child will scold and criticize her.

Li Fulin was the pampered young master who had never lifted a finger since childhood. The only chores he could do by himself before were leisurely making tea.

Even if he can neither roll out dough nor wrap dumplings, he still has work to do.

That is, put the dumpling filling on the rolled-out dumpling wrapper, and then hand it to the wife who is in charge of wrapping the dumplings.

To be honest, this job suits him quite well. The filling on each dumpling wrapper is just right, not too much and not too little. His control over the amount of filling is incredibly precise.

Tao Junman took the dumpling wrapper with the appropriate filling from her husband, closed it with her right hand, and quickly pinched it twice with her left hand. In less than three seconds, a plump, round dumpling was wrapped and casually placed on the shelf next to her.

Half of the wrapped dumplings had already been placed on top.

When he looked up and saw his nephew and future niece-in-law walking in, his eyes lit up.

"Shu Heng, Han Ying." He then admired his future niece-in-law's clothes, which he had prepared for her, from head to toe. "Han Ying looks so beautiful in these clothes. Such bright colors suit a young girl so well!"

Jiang Hanying's eyes crinkled with delight at the compliment. As she approached, she stopped and spun around, giving herself a full-body look.

"It's also because Auntie has good taste, thank you Auntie!"

"I'm glad you like it." Tao Junman looked up at the red jade pendant carved on the red jade hairpin that fluttered as she twirled. "This hairpin is a good choice; it matches this outfit perfectly."

Jiang Hanying stopped and raised her hand to touch the dangling pendant. "This hairpin was chosen by Shu Heng."

Tao Junman immediately raised an eyebrow.

Even Li Fulin, who was meticulously spreading filling on the dumpling wrappers, turned his head to look at his nephew.

The couple were now in complete agreement: their nephew had started helping them choose jewelry since he got a girlfriend; he was definitely different from before.

Li Jingmo remained calm.

He's only just returned. In the next few days, his parents will see just how much Shu Heng spoils Han Ying!

This is nothing at all now!
There were two empty seats at the table. Jiang Hanying watched Tao Junman skillfully wrap several dumplings while talking, and she was also a little tempted. So she simply washed her hands and came back to sit down.

Although I had previously failed miserably in making steamed buns, dumplings were a different story altogether.

After wrapping a few, she felt confident that she could do it again.

"I'll have one too!"

Li Chengxiao opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. He went to wash his hands and sat down on the remaining chair.

I took a freshly rolled-out dough sheet, spread the filling on it, and was about to imitate Tao Junman's movements to start pinching it.

Li Chengxiao hesitated for a moment before speaking up to remind him: "There's too much filling."

"Is it much?"

In the end, some more were removed.

Then I turned my head and looked to the side.

Li Chengxiao: "That's fine."

Then they started kneading.

But the dumpling wrappers that Tao Junman could easily pinch and seal tightly, making them look beautiful, turned out to be a disaster in Jiang Hanying's hands. Either the filling would spill out, the wrapper would break, or she wouldn't control the pressure properly and pinch the edges of the dumpling wrapper to shreds.

Tao Junman: "..." Her smile gradually froze.

I really don't know how to praise this!

Fortunately, Jiang Hanying was self-aware enough that after making several dumplings that were barely passable thanks to the cheap host next to her, she decisively gave up and said, "You make them, I'll roll out the dough!"

Li Jingmo handed over the rolling pin in her hand and got up to go to the kitchen to get another rolling pin.

Jiang Hanying held the rolling pin and tried to roll out a dumpling wrapper. She closed her eyes and looked at the final shape.

Li Chengxiao glanced at it as well and suggested in a low voice, "Maybe we should just forget about it?"

"I do not."

Jiang Hanying picked up the dumpling wrapper and rolled it into a small dough ball. She no longer needed the rolling pin, which was really not handy for her. She simply raised her palm and pressed it hard on the dough. After noticing that the dough had flattened, she slightly rotated her palm left and right before removing her hand.

Several pairs of eyes followed and looked over.

I saw a dumpling wrapper that was slightly thicker in the middle and thinner around the edges, with a fairly standard shape.

"This is acceptable!"

Having gained Tao Junman's approval, Jiang Hanying immediately picked up a dumpling wrapper with a confident look and placed it in her owner's hand, saying, "Next, I'll press the wrapper, and you can wrap the dumplings!"

Li Chengxiao: "..."

You're so proud of yourself for putting so much effort into such a small dumpling wrapper!

With two people rolling out the dough, two people wrapping the filling, and an additional person assisting, the speed immediately doubled compared to before.

Even if you're busy chatting at the same time, it doesn't interfere with your work, and the chatting has become much more casual.

In no time, they finished wrapping the prepared filling, and the leftover dumpling wrappers were taken back to the kitchen for other uses, so nothing would go to waste.

Jiang Hanying got up and looked out the window. In the time it took to wrap dumplings, it was already completely dark outside, making the bright red lanterns hanging under the eaves appear even more vibrant and luminous.

Just as she was engrossed in reading, her hand, which she had been using to massage her skin, was suddenly grasped. She instinctively flinched, but when she saw who was holding her hand, she released the pressure.

Tao Junman touched Jiang Hanying's palm. She had seen the girl press so many dumpling wrappers with her hands and was worried that the girl's hands would hurt, but seeing that the girl was pressing so hard, she didn't say anything to stop her.

"Your arms must be tired, let me massage them for you..."

Looking at her palms, which were clean and only had a healthy light red hue, without any signs of excessive force causing congestion, Tao Junman's words caught in her throat.

It seems like this doesn't need massaging.

Jiang Hanying: "I am very strong."

"Very strong? How strong?"

Tao Junman was genuinely curious.

Even if she's strong, she's still just a little girl. How much stronger can she be?
Seeing that she didn't quite believe it, Jiang Hanying's competitive spirit immediately flared up.

With her left hand still being held, she simply stretched forward again, wrapped her arms around Tao Junman's waist, and then lifted her off the ground with one hand, making it look incredibly easy.

Tao Junman didn't even realize that her feet had left the ground before she instinctively gasped. When she looked down, she met a bright, exquisite, and composed face. The man raised an eyebrow slightly when he saw her looking over, which added to his air of nonchalant charm.

who am I?
where am I?
What just happened?
Oh, she was picked up by her future niece-in-law, and she was being carried with one hand!

Honestly, even her husband has never hugged her like this!

Jiang Hanying heard the increasingly rapid heartbeat beside her ear before she put the person down and let go of her hand only after making sure the other person was steady. "Auntie, your heart is beating a little fast. Did I scare you?"

Tao Junman shook her head, her face slightly flushed: "No, no, you, cough, you are indeed quite strong, now your aunt believes what you said."

Beside them, the uncle and nephew exchanged a silent glance.

At this moment, they seemed like outsiders!
