"Daddy, lemme teach you."
The younger boy laid down the dumpling skin and used the chopsticks to spread out the fillings in the center like a pro. True enough, the shape of a fat dumpling could be seen in no time.
"Mommy, why do we eat dumplings during the New Year?"
Yun Shishi tried to explain it to the older boy. "This is called the 'New Year dumplings'. As the dumplings are shaped like ingots, eating these will bear auspiciousness. It means inviting wealth to roll into the house. The roundness of the dumplings will also signify a harmonious family. The fillings we use for the dumplings on the eve of the New Year are made with meat to make them look round and full; all in all, we are wishing for the family to have a fulfilling and peaceful year ahead."
Little Yichen nodded in half-comprehension. "I see! I didn't know of such sayings."
