Leng Nuan agreed to make dumplings for Coco on Christmas Day, so after she finished her work in the afternoon, she left work early to pick up Coco from kindergarten. Then, she went to the supermarket to buy dumplings, meat fillings, and leeks to go home.
During the process of making dumplings, coco kept playing with the dumplings. She pinched a small dog that didn’t look like anything. She also pinched a small white rabbit that looked like something. Then, she handed the beautiful white rabbit to Leng Nuan, in a childish voice, she said, “This is for Mommy.”
Then, she took the dough that didn’t look like much, but Coco insisted that it was a little dog. She carefully held it in her palm and said, “This is for Daddy.”
Leng Nuan was amused by Coco’s words. She smiled and continued to make the dumplings.
Not long after, the dumplings were finished. Leng Nuan looked out of the window, and it was already dark.
She remembered that Lu Benlai also liked to eat dumplings, so she looked at Coco, who had gone to teach a row of stuffed toys. “Coco, can you give Daddy a call and invite Daddy over for dumplings?”
When Coco heard this, she immediately threw down the stuffed toy that used the long rabbit as a pointer and ran to Leng Nuan. After Leng Nuan made the call, she immediately stretched out her two small hands, held the phone, and spoke into the phone, she called out happily, “Daddy.”
“What’s wrong? Coco?”
When Lu Benlai’s voice came, Coco suddenly forgot what her mother wanted her to say, so she raised her head and looked at Leng Nuan.
Leng Nuan didn’t say anything. She pointed at the dumplings beside her and reminded Coco.
Coco rolled her eyes. Then, as if she remembered something, she called out to Lu Benlai on the phone again, “Daddy.” “I remember now. Mom said that she wants me to invite you over for dumplings on her behalf…”
Leng Nuan:”…”
She wanted her to invite Lu benlai over for dumplings in her own name..
After Coco finished speaking, she raised her head and glanced at Leng Nuan. Seeing that her mother’s expression was not right, she frowned and thought for a moment, then, she said, “Dad, MOM is a little unhappy. She probably doesn’t want you to eat dumplings again…”
Leng Nuan couldn’t bear to listen to her daughter’s words anymore. She took the phone away from her palm and said to Lu Benlai on the other side of the phone, “There are too many dumplings. Do you want to eat them together?”
Leng Nuan heard the sound of typing on the keyboard from Lu Benlai’s side.
She thought that Lu Benlai was still busy with work, so she added, “If you’re busy…”
“I’m not busy…”before Leng Nuan could finish her sentence, Lu Benlai said,”… I’ll be there in a while.”
“Okay then, I’ll cook the dumplings later.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, Leng Nuan looked out of the window. It was the same day as before, and there was still no sign of snow.
About twenty minutes later, Leng Nuan received a message from Lu Benlai that he was almost at the entrance of the community. Then, she immediately went to the kitchen to cook the dumplings.
The water had just been turned on when Lu Benlai arrived. Leng Nuan turned her head and glanced at the living room through the open kitchen door. Lu Benlai had been assigned to a row of plush toys by Coco. He squatted down as a student and listened to Coco’s lecture.
Lu Benlai was wearing a suit and squatting on the ground. He did not fit in with those plush toys, but that scene was inexplicably heartwarming.
When the steaming dumplings were served on the table one by one, Lu Benlai went to wash his hands with Coco.
