Chapter 432 Dumpling Wrappers

Chapter 432: Chapter 432 Dumpling Wrappers

Song Jinze and Xiao Yi hadn’t been busy for long when Ye Zhenzhen woke up.

Feeling some movement, Song Yuchen, who was half asleep, didn’t even open his eyes and snuggled into Ye Zhenzhen’s arm with a soft whimper, "Mommy, is Daddy outside cooking?"

He heard the sound of chopping vegetables.

"That should be it."

No sooner had Ye Zhenzhen finished speaking than Xiao Chen heard Xiao Yi’s voice outside the tent, "How come the production team’s ingredients don’t even include a rolling pin?"

"Ah!" Xiao Chen exclaimed as he climbed out of the covers, "It’s Brother Yi!"

"No, it’s Uncle Xiao Yi!"

"Mommy, I’m going to go take a look first, you can sleep a bit more!" The little guy exited the tent excitedly.

Outside the tent, Song Jinze was halfway through chopping vegetables. Being unfamiliar with cooking and cutting slowly, the process was quite slow.

Xiao Yi, wanting to roll out dumpling wrappers, had realized there was no rolling pin and was currently sitting by the table pinching small balls of dough. When he turned his head to look at Song Jinze, he noticed that Song Yuchen had gotten up.

"Little guy, you’re up, had a good sleep?"

Song Yuchen cheerfully called back, "Morning, Daddy! Morning, Uncle!"

Then he went over to Xiao Yi and replied, "I slept okay, hehe, this is my first time sleeping in a tent outside with Mommy and Daddy, it’s so fun!"

"Uncle, are you playing with dough like it’s clay?"

Xiao Yi’s hand movements paused as he looked up at the little one, "Uncle is making dumpling skins, your dad just now was playing with the dough like it’s clay, he can’t even knead properly."

"Uh..."

Song Yuchen naturally knew about his father’s cooking skills. Last time, his dad had to watch a tablet just to make breakfast for Mommy, so he believed Uncle Xiao Yi’s words.

When Song Jin heard what Xiao Yi said to his son, while holding green onions he asked Song Yuchen, "Xiao Chen, should I add green onions to the meat filling?"

Xiao Yi and Song Yuchen turned their heads at the same time.

Song Yuchen nodded, "Yes, Grandma said that adding some green onions to dumplings will make them more fragrant~"

Song Jin, with an expressionless face, glanced at Xiao Yi and then curved his lips into a smile, "Okay, let’s add green onions!"

Xiao Yi: ...

And so, Xiao Yi watched wide-eyed as Song Jin started to chop the green onions...

"Hey! Cut less of it!"

To Xiao Yi’s words, Song Jin might as well have been deaf.

[President Song is chopping the green onions into such fine pieces, haha!]

[Xiao Yi, who asked you to be sarcastic? Why did you have to expose our President Song in front of Xiao Chen, haha!]

[Actually, whether or not to add green onions isn’t important, the main thing is I see a different kind of feeling between these two men, could this be what they call love and war?]

[I was mistaken about Xiao Yi before, thinking he joined the show to pursue Sister Zhenzhen. Now it seems, his target isn’t Sister Zhenzhen, but President Song.]

[Our Best Actor Xiao seems to have come to clarify things, so you all stop fantasizing, okay? Zhenzhen and President Song are husband and wife, Best Actor Xiao is their friend, is this so hard to understand?]

[Two big handsome guys, plus one little handsome boy, standing together—what a picture-perfect scene, wuwuwu~]

[I want to be Ye Zhenzhen; I want to go hug the little one, and then wait for the two big ones to make dumplings for me to eat, ahhh!]

Soon, Ye Zhenzhen emerged from the tent, freshly dressed. The sea breeze brushed past her delicate and fair face, lifting her dark hair that fell across her back, making her look ethereally beautiful yet strikingly eye-catching.

Song Jinze stopped what he was doing and turned to look at her, "Why didn’t you sleep a little longer?"

Last night in the tent, he saw Zhenzhen sleeping restlessly, not falling into a deep sleep until very late, so when he got up, he was as quiet as a mouse, afraid of disturbing her and their son.

"I woke up. Are you guys preparing to make dumplings?" Ye Zhenzhen asked Song Jinze, pointing at the vegetables he had chopped, a trace of surprise on her face.

"Yes, making dumplings."

"If you’re going to make dumplings, the carrots and cabbage probably need to be chopped finer, otherwise the carrot pieces are too big, and they’ll burst the dumpling skins later."

Song Jinze looked at the carrot dices he had chopped and nodded, "Okay, I’ll chop them finer."

[Tsk, tsk, tsk~ Just listen to that tone, everyone, listen, whatever the wife says goes, that’s true love, right there. President Song’s treatment of Xiao Yi is just plain dislike, don’t think too much into it!]

[What should I do, the combined attractiveness of these three adults and one child standing together is really high, such a beautiful scene!]

[It’s like celestial beings indulging in the mortal world’s pleasures!]

[Pfft! The description from the one before is killer, these people truly are— they have faces that seem untouched by the world’s troubles, and yet here they are, doing such wonderfully down-to-earth things.]

"Mommy! Come look, Uncle Xiao Yi is so good at making dumpling wrappers by hand~"

Xiao Yi, holding a newly-formed dumpling wrapper, shook it towards Ye Zhenzhen, "It’s not really a big deal, it’s just that we don’t have a rolling pin, otherwise I could do even better."

Ye Zhenzhen stepped forward to take a look, "To be able to make it like this by hand, that’s indeed impressive!"

"Hehe, Uncle, my mom is praising you for being great, and I’m telling you, my mama is really good at making dumplings, the ones she made last time were super delicious!"

Xiao Yi laughed, "Yeah, Uncle’s dumplings are also very delicious, after you try them, you can give Uncle your feedback."

"Sure!"

Song Jinze’s dark eyes inadvertently glanced at the big and small duo, as well as the smile on his own wife’s face; a subtle heaviness appeared in his gaze as he asked Song Yuchen, "Song Yuchen, did you brush your teeth and wash your face when you came out of the tent just now?"

Song Yuchen shook his head, "No, I’ll do it right now."

"Let’s go, Mommy, let’s wash up together."

"Okay!"

Once the mother and son had left, Xiao Yi began to sing, and what’s more, he sang with such joy. Sigh, his happiness naturally meant someone else’s unhappiness, hehe!

Knowing Song Jinze as well as he did, he could instantly tell, this guy was just looking for an excuse to send Song Yuchen away.

Was it just because Zhenzhen said he hadn’t chopped the carrots well, and then she came to praise his own dumpling wrappers? Was that really necessary?

So petty, and yet so sly, he’s been like this since childhood!

Song Jinze was a bit overwhelmed by Xiao Yi’s singing. He glanced over at the dumpling wrappers the other had managed to make and asked, "After all this time, you’ve only made so few?"

Xiao Yi’s brow twitched slightly, and seeing Song Jinze’s look, he couldn’t help but curve his lips, suddenly calling out in a soft voice, "Big brother! Can’t you be a little nicer to me? I’m working hard here, and you’re still like this..."

Song Jinze: ...

[Holy crap! The way Best Actor Xiao calls out ’big brother,’ I’m about to lose it here!]

[Hahaha, President Song’s face has completely darkened, I’m dying of laughter!]

[I never thought Best Actor Xiao could be so noisy, today was quite the revelation!]

[A man is always a boy at heart, only showing his true colors in front of close friends and brothers. These two are really going to make people die of laughter!]

[I love watching this, I seriously love it, haha, Zhenzhen is so lucky to be around such handsome guys!]
