“Wife, you made dumplings?” Zhou Yi was a little surprised to see the exquisite dumplings on the chopping board. He had only gone to his father’s place for a while. He did not know if it had been an hour, but she had made so many dumplings?

It had to be known that the process of making dumplings was troublesome. It took time to knead the dough and chop the fillings. Even wrapping them required time!

“The Song family doesn’t like me. I’ve never eaten dumplings in my life. Now that we have flour, pork, and vegetables at home, I…” In order to dispel Zhou Yi’s suspicion, Song Xi immediately looked aggrieved.

However, Little ‘Song Xi’ had indeed never eaten dumplings in the Song Family. She could not even drink a mouthful of dumpling soup when the Song Family made dumplings for the New Year. Looking at Little ‘Song Xi’s’ encounter, Song Xi knew how happy she was in the modern world. She never drank soup when she ate dumplings. Now that she thought about it, it was really a waste.

“Wife, you don’t have to worry about anything here. You can eat whatever you want in the future. You can tell me if we don’t have anything at home.” Looking at Song Xi’s dark and bright eyes, Zhou Yi subconsciously fell into them.

He reached out and gently wiped the white flour off Song Xi’s eyebrows and hair. She could eat whatever she wanted at home. As long as she wanted to eat something that they did not have at home, he would definitely think of a way to get it.

Zhou Yi’s actions made Song Xi’s mood a little chaotic. She was embarrassed and wanted to avoid his hand that was helping her tidy her hair, but he took a step forward and wrapped his arm around her waist, preventing her from retreating.

Zhou Yi could naturally tell that his wife was a little flustered. The more flustered his wife was, the happier he was because this proved that his wife was slowly taking him to heart. Even if it was very slow, it was still a good sign!

“Wife, sit down and rest first. I’ll cook the dumplings.” Zhou Yi helped Song Xi sit on the stool and began to boil water. When the water was hot, he sprinkled some salt in. When the water boiled, he placed the dumplings in.

Song Xi watched from the side. She did not expect Zhou Yi to be so serious and good-looking when he cooked. She knew that even the men in the countryside in this era thought that it was very embarrassing for men to do housework. They were certain that those were women’s matters. Even in the modern era, there were still some men who were unwilling to help their wives do housework.

Therefore, Zhou Yi was really not bad.

The dumplings were ready very quickly. Seeing that Zhou Yi was holding a bowl of dumplings, Song Xi quickly said, “Brother Yi, I just want ten dumplings. More soup.” She wanted to try the dumpling soup and see if it was delicious.

The two of them sat under the osmanthus tree and ate dumplings. After Zhou Yi took a bite, he realized that the pork in the dumpling filling was fresh pork, not cured meat. However, he clearly remembered that they did not buy fresh pork!

“Wife, this pork…”

She knew what Zhou Yi wanted to know, Song Xi hurriedly said, “That beautiful sister from the guest house gave it to me. I didn’t expect it to not stink after half a day. It can’t last in this weather, so I quickly made dumplings. How are they? Are the dumplings I made delicious?”

“It’s delicious. My wife’s culinary skills are not bad.” Zhou Yi ate one bite at a time and sighed as he ate. The filling tasted good. At least, he could not make such a filling.

“It’s because Brother Yi controlled the fire well that the dumplings are so delicious.” Of course, Song Xi would not take all the credit. These dumplings were handmade by the employees in the supermarket. It had nothing to do with her. She was just paying the employees!

Now that the supermarket had followed her here, she did not know if it still existed in the modern era. She did not know how the employees were doing. Could it be that she had come here for no reason and all traces of her life in the modern era had been erased? Did no one remember her existence?

If that was the case, it was good. At least those who knew her and treated her sincerely would not be sad because of her sudden disappearance.

Song Xi’s appetite was not good now and she could not eat much. There were ten dumplings in the bowl. After eating six and drinking a few mouthfuls of soup, she could not eat anymore. Just as she was about to give the dumplings to Zhou Yi, there was a sudden knock on the door.

“Wife, eat slowly. I’ll go take a look.” Zhou Yi reached out and stroked Song Xi’s hair. He smiled at Song Xi and walked towards the courtyard door. If it was a weird person, he would not even let them enter.

His wife needed to recuperate now. He would not let anyone unimportant disturb her rest.

Zhou Yi quickly walked over and opened the courtyard door half a person wide. He saw two children in tattered clothes standing outside. When they saw Zhou Yi appear, they were a little uneasy.

Most of the children in the village were tattered and dirty. As they were very naughty and restless, no matter how neatly they were dressed, they would become mud monkeys in a few minutes.

Zhou Yi had no feelings for the children in the village.

However, now that they were here, he couldn’t chase them away. He raised his eyebrows and asked, “Why are you knocking?”

The little boy’s face was slightly red. Facing the serious Uncle Zhou Yi, he was at a loss. He raised his hands high. “Uncle Zhou Yi, we found some raspberries on the mountain. They’re sweet and sour and delicious, so we wanted to give some to Aunt.”

Actually, these two children were from the family next door to Zhou Yi’s. There was some distance between the two families, and it took about a minute or two to walk. They saw Zhou Yi and Song Xi return home at night and saw that Song Xi could walk on her own, so they wanted to come over and get to know her.

“You guys are so considerate.” Zhou Yi took a step to the side and let the two children in. His little wife was probably quite bored lying at home every day. It was good to let the two children accompany her to relieve her boredom.

Although he was unfamiliar with these two children, he knew they were not bad people. If they were guided well, they would not grow up to be bad in the future.

“Wife, this is Xiao Shu and Xiao Hua from next door. They brought you raspberries.” Zhou Yi led a boy and a girl back and took the raspberries from the little boy’s hand. He brought them to the well and washed them with water.

“Hello, children!” Song Xi greeted the two children with a smile. The two children were very thin and weak. There was no meat on their faces at all, except for their big eyes that were especially bulging like aliens.

Her clothes were also patched up, and there was a strange smell in the air. The little girl’s hair seemed to have not been washed for a long time and was lumpy.

Song Xi’s hair was because Zhou Yi helped tend to it. Otherwise, it would not be better than the little girl’s condition. After all, she had not washed it since she fell down the hill.

“Little Aunt, you’re so beautiful. I’ve never seen anyone as beautiful as you in my life.” The little girl pinched her clothes nervously and lowered her head shyly.
