Chapter 321 - New Year Greetings (2/2)

”Thank you, Second Uncle. This is enough for me to eat!” With Heizi's current appetite, a bowl of dumplings would only allow him to be half full. However, he doesn't dare to openly eat and let Second Uncle think he came over to get money.

Old Yu ate the dumplings stuffed with pickles and pork and said to Heizi, ”You aren't an outsider, you don't have to be so polite. Eat!”

Heizi restrained himself at first but became more relaxed later. He ate the fragrant and delicious dumplings with big bites and his eyes began to burn. How long had it been since he had such delicious dumplings? In the past, when the conditions were good, the dumplings he had at home were all cabbage and pork-filled dumplings with more cabbage than pork and each person only had so many. In order for him to eat more, he had stolen Xiaosha’s and Little Shitou's dumplings. On the second day of the New Year's, when he went to his maternal grandfather’s house, he could sometimes eat dumplings, but the taste of those was far inferior to the ones of Second Uncle's.

”Have some soup, don't choke!” Old Yu saw that Heizi was eating so fiercely, he felt bad. He estimated that this year had been rough on them there, so it was good enough that they weren’t going hungry. Ai... Although he divorced Madam Zhang, humans were emotional beings. He watched Heizi grow up. Although they weren't blood-related, anyone would have emotions toward a dog once they’ve raised it long enough.

Madam Liu and Madam Zhao came in with two plates of dumplings each. Yu Caifeng and Liu Hu had already eaten so they gave up their seats. Madam Zhao ate some cabbage and pork-filled dumplings and tried two chive and egg stuffed dumplings. She praised her second sister-in-law's cooking repeatedly

Madam Liu smiled and said, ”I dare not take the credit; several of the stuffed dumplings were created by Xiaocao. Especially the chive and egg filled dumplings; she added some sandworms to make them more delicious.”

Yu Caifeng also praised, ”These pickled vegetable and pork-filled dumplings are more authentic than what we ate in the northeast. Our family's head had two full bowls! Sister-in-law, you eat first, we'll go digest our food! ”

At the table on the kang bed, everyone was eating happily. Under the kang bed, there were two small beings who were unwilling, 'I don't want to gnaw on bones. I also want to eat dumplings!”

Little Doudou liked Little Black and Little White the most. Upon hearing their pitiful whine, he stretched out his head and gave them two of his dumplings.

Madam Zhao saw this and scolded her son, ”Doudou, how can you give the dumplings to the dogs? How wasteful!” In her opinion, people couldn't even get enough to eat, what was the point in raising dogs? What's more, giving dogs meat dumplings to eat was just outrageous.

Seeing that Madam Zhao's body was shaking with anger, Madam Liu hurriedly advised, ”It's just two dumplings, don't scare the kids. Doudou hurry and eat. Don't let the dumplings get cold, or you'll get a tummy ache.”

Yu Xiaocao was full. Seeing that the two little ones were staring at the table after eating one dumpling, she bent down and patted their heads and said, ”Your breakfasts are in the West Room and Big Gray is in there too! Go, I'll take you over there!”

Little Black and Little White, upon hearing the words, finally moved their eyes away from the table on the kang bed. They followed behind Xiaocao with their butts up in the air. Their small steps became brisk as they knew that their little master wouldn't treat them badly.

Yu Xiaocao brought a bowl of dumplings from the kitchen. When she walked into the West Room, she saw that Big Grey was eating a piece of cooked pork. Ever since trying the taste of cooked meat, Big Grey wasn't willing to eat raw meat, especially the dead boar meat, which had been frozen for many days and was hard. Thus, Yu Xiaocao cooked a pot of meat for it and the two little ones every day, putting in a small amount of salt and seasonings. The big one and two small ones all happily ate it.

One bowl of meat dumplings was split in half into Little Black and Little White's food bowl. Little Black couldn't wait to eat it and burned his tongue, making a whine of sadness. Little White was gloating at the side as if he was saying, 'Fool, who dares to eat dumplings just out of the pot without getting scalded?’

Little White was smarter. He first took a dumpling out of the food bowl and put it on the ground to cool for a while. Then he carefully tried it. When he decided that it wasn’t too hot, he ate it with relish.

Big Grey smelled the fragrance of the dumplings and suddenly felt that the delicious pork \ lost its delicious taste. He paced to the edge of Little Black's food bowl, squeezing the little guy out of the way and took one out to slowly try. Mm, the taste wasn't bad! Then he opened his mouth and took half the basin.

Little Black looked at this with tears in his eyes. He dared not be angry, but his eyes were full of complaints, 'Is there a father like you? Taking his kids' food! Why aren't you taking it from Little White and just bullying me? Wuwuwu....'

Yu Xiaocao, who had just turned around and went out, heard Little Black's sad cries and thought something had happened. So she returned to take a look. She saw Little Black watching pitifully and Big Gray lying on the edge of his food bowl, eating all the dumplings in two or three bites. After finishing, he took the piece of meat from his bowl and put it in Little Black's food bowl. He used his paws to pat his son's head telling him to eat.

Little Black stared at the meat in the food bowl with tears in his eyes and endless resentment in his heart, 'I don't want to eat meat, I want to eat dumplings. Wuwuwu! Little master, be the judge. A father picking on his son, are there any heavenly principles?'
