Xiao Jinli walked out with two baskets of green vegetables, upon seeing Ji Yuzhu and her other two companions, she was very surprised. She immediately called out, "Auntie, uncle, you've arrived so early? I thought you would come over for dinner in the afternoon."
Ji Yuzhu looked at the two baskets of vegetables Xiao Jinli was carrying, walked over to her, took one basket, and said, "I've been off work for a while now, and your uncle also started his holiday early. So, we decided to come early and help out if needed."
She carried the basket, took a look at the vegetables inside, and asked, "You picked so many vegetables?"
Xiao Jinli nodded, "Hmm, my grandmother said, after dinner, when it's time to keep vigil for the New Year (a Chinese tradition), we will make dumplings."
"That sounds good." Ji Yuzhu said happily, "These vegetable dumplings with no meat will certainly taste great. Adding meat might dilute the flavour of the greens."
