Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it was the first day of the Lunar New Year.
On this day, the atmosphere at the base was unusually lively and filled with joy.
The people in the base received plenty of food, including meat.
Since Wen Xiaoxiao came here, at least everyone in the base could eat to their satisfaction.
Wen Xiaoxiao was busy throughout the day, and Peach also came out to help her. It created a lively and joyful atmosphere.
Wen Xiaoxiao was rolling out the dough. The fillings were prepared and placed aside. In a while, they would start making dumplings.
Xue Yuna sat at the dining table and was also helping to wrap dumplings. As for the men, they sat on the couch chatting and gossiping.
“Mom, what are you doing?” Wen Bei, the mischievous little imp, ran downstairs and saw her mom, grandma, and Peach all holding white and soft balls of dough. She curiously looked at them with her big, round eyes. She took a peek at her busy mother and secretly reached out her chubby little hand to grab a piece of dough sheet from the table.
Wen Xiaoxiao watched Wen Bei sneakily grab a piece of dough and found it amusing.
“What are you doing?” Wen Xiaoxiao looked over and asked.
“Nothing, nothing.” Wen Bei hurriedly hid the dough behind her back, her big eyes looking at Wen Xiaoxiao.
“Bring it out! Mommy saw it. If you want to play, go ahead! Just this once.” Wen Xiaoxiao said in a gentle tone.
Wen Bei’s eyes instantly lit up. She brought out the dough she had secretly taken, which was now squished and deformed by her chubby little hand.
In fact, the children are mostly taken care of by Wen Runhan now. The five children and him got along really well.
Wen Xiaoxiao finished rolling out all the dough and began to make dumplings with Mother Bo and Peach.
Among the three of them, Wen Xiaoxiao was the fastest at wrapping dumplings, and hers had the best appearance.
But that was to be expected. Xue Yuna wasn’t as skilled at wrapping dumplings as Wen Xiaoxiao because she never cooked or prepared meals herself. They were always taken care of by a nanny or hired chef. Xue Yuna had never set foot in the kitchen.
As for Peach, she had just recently transformed into a human and didn’t know how to wrap dumplings either. Her dumplings turned out similar to Xue Yuna’s.
They spread out the dough, added the filling, and pinched it a few times. The dumplings ended up looking flat and miserable.
On the other hand, Wen Xiaoxiao’s dumplings were not only fast to make but also appeared plump and three-dimensional.
Fortunately, Xue Yuna and Peach managed to seal the dumplings tightly, so they wouldn’t fall apart when put into the pot. That was good enough.
Wen Bei watched her mom make one dumpling after another, her big eyes fixed on the process. It seemed fun to her, so she asked, “Mom, I want to make dumplings too.”
Wen Xiaoxiao looked up and saw her precious daughter with her little face covered in dough. It was a bit amusing and made her want to laugh.
Xue Yuna smiled kindly and said to her granddaughter, “Baby, with dough on your face, you’re the most beautiful cub.”
Hearing her grandmother’s praise, Wen Bei blushed and felt happy.
Wen Xiaoxiao gently said to Wen Bei, “Darling, go find your dad, brothers, and uncles.”
Wen Xiaoxiao was really afraid that if she agreed, her daughter would end up completely covered in dough.
When Wen Bei saw his mother rejecting her, she felt a little aggrieved. She sniffled and pitifully asked, “Mom, why can’t I?”
“Because you’re still a little. There are things you don’t understand or know how to do. You’ll learn when you grow up,” Wen Xiaoxiao explained.
“So, for now, go play with your dad or your brother and uncles. Is that okay?”
Wen Xiaoxiao continued wrapping dumplings while speaking, “Alright?”
Wen Bei suddenly felt a little aggrieved and very uncomfortable.
