Chapter 73 Making Dumplings

This son-killing case spanning several years came to light in less than two days. Li Yijie looked at the messy criminal police office and knew that they couldn't help at the moment, so he took Luo Mai to bid farewell to Yang Su.

Yang Su was busy flying, Guan Zhongping's case still needs to be concluded, and Song Ying's case also needs to be busy back and forth. Hearing that they were leaving, Yang Su said without raising his head: "Be careful on the road, next time I invite you to dinner."

Li Yijie responded and left with Luo Mai.

After leaving the office gate, Luo Mai let out a sigh of relief at the ice and snow outside, and then took Li Yijie's hand to get the car to buy groceries.

After buying the vegetables, Li Yijie kept muttering to Luo Mai that the vegetables were too expensive, and next spring he would plant a la carte vegetables in the field at the gate of the courtyard to make up for it.

"What do you want to eat?"

With fruit candy in his mouth, Luo Mai thought for a while: "Cucumber, tomato, and leek are all fine."

"Then plant these." Li Yijie started the car while speaking.

The two of them went back without telling the two younger ones in the team. When they were 500 meters away from the destination, Li Yijie asked Luo Mai: "Guess what they have done to the team?"

Luo Mai shook his head: "The potential of these two is infinite, I can't imagine it."

Li Yijie agreed with him, he said: "As long as the roof is not lifted."

A few minutes later, the two arrived at Brigade 74 safely. Li Yijie honked the horn twice at the door. After a while, there was the sound of a dog barking in the yard, and the door was opened slightly, and a head popped out from inside: "Are you back?"

"Come out and get food!" Luo Mai waved to Lei Hua.

Lei Hua didn't move at first, but Luo Mai noticed that his left arm was shaking, as if he was chasing something.

Luo Mai raised his eyebrows and got out of the car. Under Lei Hua's frightened eyes, he pushed the door open. When he opened it, Luo Mai saw Haiyan holding a starfish. He asked, "What are you doing?"

"Hehe, what's the matter?" Haiyan said.

Luo Mai had a hunch that something was wrong, he glanced at them suspiciously, turned around when Li Yijie urged them to get the food, and said, "Don't stand there stupidly, come out and get the food."

Lei Hua and Haiyan walked out the door with a "oh" at the same time.

Li Yijie hadn't noticed anything yet, so he repeated what he had nagged to Luo Mai in the car: "The vegetable market on the team's side will definitely be closed when it snows, and it costs 200 yuan to eat this dish for three days. You two are not allowed to be picky eaters and eat whatever you want."

Haiyan and Lei Hua nodded together, looking extremely obedient.

Li Yijie wanted to say something to them, but suddenly he opened his mouth. He glanced at Luo Mai, who was also puzzled like himself, and then at the two young ones in front of him, and asked, "Is everything okay at home?" .”

"It's okay." They said in unison again.

It's nothing but a ghost, Luo Mai is not easy to dismiss this time, he put the things he was carrying in the trunk, turned his head and walked into the yard, Haiyan, who had been watching him, stretched out a foot to stop him, but was blocked by Li Yijie's leg open.

Luo Mai ran into the courtyard in a few steps. He looked around and found nothing unusual. Li Yijie also dragged two people in at this time. He looked around for a while and asked, "What did you find?"

Luo Mai shook his head: "It's normal, the snow has been shoveled, and the flowers have been moved in, huh? I also washed the clothes, not bad."

Seeing Luo Mai complimenting herself, Haiyan jumped out and raised her face very proudly: "Not only that, I cooked the food for the past two days, and I even bathed Haixing." Realizing that she talked too much, she covered her mouth and watched Luo Maiti slip away from the starfish lying under the table.

The starfish whimpered as soon as it was mentioned, and Luo Mai stroked its back to appease him, but something went wrong when his hand touched the tail of the starfish, and it suddenly started screaming and scratching like a convulsion. While struggling and screaming miserably, Luo Maifu was dug and bitten by the little guy a few times before he could loosen it. He put down the starfish with pain in his hand, and the starfish ran back under the table after landing.

Let alone Luo Mai this time, Li Yijie also saw the strangeness. He stepped forward and grabbed Luo Mai's hand to check back and forth. After confirming that the skin was broken and not bleeding, he pointed to the starfish hiding under the table and asked the two younger ones: "Will you take a bath?" Wash the hair or wash the meat? Why is there such a big hole in the tail?"

When Li Yijie asked this question, his expression was very serious. Lei Hua was afraid that he would charge him with the crime of cruelty to animals, and hurriedly said: "It was Haiyan who washed it! I was busy at that time!"

Pointing the finger at herself, Haiyan panicked: "I, I, I, I was wrong," Haiyan cried, "When I bathed the starfish, I found that its tail hair was stained with chewing gum and knotted. I tried to comb it but couldn't. Later, I wanted to shave it with a razor, but it didn't cooperate, and I accidentally..."

Luo Mai and Li Yijie were speechless to her words, the starfish under the table was still humming softly, Li Yijie felt distressed, he thought about it, went to the car and took a piece of ham sausage out to tease the starfish, the starfish doesn’t remember to eat or not , After a few words of coaxing, Li Yijie caught him.

The starfish under Li Yijie's palm was very obedient, it lay on the ground steadily, and only grunted twice when Li Yijie lifted its buttocks to express that it was still in pain.

After checking, Li Yijie looked up at the nervous Haiyan: "It's nothing, it just hurt too much and I licked it myself, which caused all the hair around the wound to fall off."

Luo Mai: "Why do I look a bit rotten?"

Li Yijie nodded: "Fortunately, it's winter now, and summer will rot faster. I'll go buy an Elizabeth ring and anti-inflammatory drugs later."

Seeing what Li Yijie said, Haiyan felt embarrassed: "I'll go."

"Can you drive? Or do you know the way?" Li Yijie glanced at her, "Come back soon." He picked up Haixing and left with a cart of vegetables.

Haiyan felt extremely guilty for causing Li Yijie to run too much and Luo Mai was almost injured. She followed Luo Mai step by step, with a sense of loss on her face.

Luo Mai knew that Haiyan was behind him, so he took her into the kitchen, took out fruit candy from his pocket and handed it to Haiyan: "Here, let's play."

Haiyan stared at the fruit candy in his hand and suddenly smiled. She peeled off the candy wrapper and stuffed it into her mouth, nodded to Luo Mai, and then jumped out.

Luo Mai lamented what a child, and after lamenting, he began to clean up the cold pots and stoves in the kitchen.

An hour later, Li Yijie came back with Haixing. He handed the cub to Haiyan and told her some precautions to go upstairs to find Luo Mai.

Luo Mai was tidying up Li Yijie's room at the moment, when he saw him coming in, he noticed something wrong with his expression, and asked him what's the matter, Li Yijie turned around to show him the icicles on his waist.

"Did you fall?"

Li Yijie nodded in pain.

Luo Mai sighed: "May I rub it for you?"

Li Yijie continued to nod.

Li Yijie's waist and buttocks were all blue from the fall, and according to him, he happened to be hit by a snowdrift.

Luo Mai turned on the air conditioner and put a hot towel on his body. Li Yijie gasped and said, "We have to watch them in the future. If we come back twice, we won't be enough for them to make."

Luo Mai patted his butt, indicating that he understood.

Dinner was relatively simple due to Li Yijie's injury. Haiyan and Lei Hua each took a bowl of sausage, shredded pork and egg noodles and hid upstairs for dinner, leaving Luo Mai and Li Yijie downstairs to live a two-person world. After eating, they took advantage of the warmth of their bodies Luo Mai washed the dishes and cleaned up, and when he was done, he helped Li Yijie upstairs to rest.

2018年1月1日上午08:30，罗麦打开手机就见收到无数条新年好的信息，他挨个挨个回过去又给罗霍打了电话。

Tian Tian answered the call. She asked Luo Mai to eat dumplings, saying that she made five fillings today.

"Li Yijie will also pack today," Luo Mai refused with a smile, and then asked Tian Tian, ​​"Do you want to bring some specialties when you go home during the Chinese New Year?"

Tian Tian on the other end was startled, then smiled and said: "I forgot to tell you, my family is gone."

Hearing this, Luo Mai was silent. Hearing the sound of breathing on the other side, Tian Tian laughed and walked down the steps: "We need special products. Lao Luo said that the soy sauce for your noodles is very delicious. Did you cook it yourself?"

"Yes, my dad will suffer too."

"Then let him boil it a bit, and I'll bring it to my employees to taste next time."

"Okay, tell him the taste you want to eat, the toppings he made are also very good."

"Row."

The two chatted a few more words and changed Luo Huo to answer the phone. Luo Mai heard his father's voice and told him to stay away from Tian Tian's place. Luo Huo ran from the second floor to the third floor without knowing it and asked: "What's wrong?"

"Is Tian Tian's family alone?"

"Oh, this matter," Luo Huo paused, "She is an orphan, and she can't be considered an orphan. Her parents died in a car accident when she was 11 years old, and she grew up in an orphanage."

Luo Mai felt very uncomfortable hearing Luo Huo say this, and asked his father to apologize to Tian Tian for him and hung up the phone.

Luo Mai was a little depressed, and wanted to talk to Li Yijie to relieve stress, but found that this person was not in the room. He opened the door and went downstairs to see that this person was talking to Fatty, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Big fat is still so fat, he is carrying a lot of gift boxes in his hand, and Luo Mai saw that there are local eggs and organic vegetables written on the boxes upstairs.

The two people downstairs spoke quietly. After chatting for a while, Fatty gave Li Yijie the things in his hand and left. When Li Yijie turned around with the things, he saw Luo Mai upstairs.

Luo Mai was wearing a bright red sweater leaning against the railing and staring at him. Li Yijie felt his mouth dry when he saw him. He counted the time and found that he hadn't done exercise on the bed for a long time. Luo Mai flew wink, Luo Mai blinked his eyes back, and the two of them laughed tacitly at the end.

Today is the beginning of 2018, Li Yijie decided to fulfill Haiyan's wish early.

Oil residue is the leftover dregs of fatty lard. This kind of thing can be used as snacks or cooking. In Li Yijie's impression, he has never tried it, but Luo Mai said that he has eaten it, and the taste is not bad.

Haiyan who knew that she was going to make dumplings was very happy, she ran over and said she wanted to help, Li Yijie was afraid that she would be a waste of help, and pushed her away, and when the dumplings were being made, the girl came again, before Li Yijie could let her go, Haiyan dexterously moved her hands Make a chubby dumpling.

"You really know it." Li Yijie looked at her in surprise.

"That's not true," Haiyan took a little pride and made another ingot-like dumpling, "Haiyang taught me a lot of styles, he said that girls can't do anything but they must know how to make dumplings, and he also said that he was homesick. Wrap it up and eat by yourself, and you won’t want to when you’re full.”

As soon as Haiyan said this, the scene became a little cold. Lei Hua rolled his eyes, grabbed a dumpling wrapper, stuffed some stuffing on it and asked, "How to make it? Who will teach me?"

Haiyan saw that the meat stuffing on his dumpling wrapper was too hot, so she took half of the stuffing off and instructed him: "Knead it like this, yes, if you can't pinch it, just get some water on it. Do you want to pinch it? Look at this dumpling." Can I still eat it?"

After hearing this, Lei Hua handed the strangely shaped dumplings to Luo Mai: "Do you think you can eat wheat?"

Luo Mai looked at Li Yijie and said, "I'll make it to him alone later, I don't want to be so ugly."

Li Yijie nodded: "Let him eat everything Lei Hua makes."

Lei Hua snorted: "You don't understand the beauty of variety, you can eat whatever you want!"
