Xi Xi received a very warm welcome at the table of the diplomatic staff. Not only Sister Cai, but the uncles and aunties were all smiling and fighting to hug her and Tong Tong. Sister Cai was still laughing behind them. "Hey, hey, you guys. How can you hug people without washing your hands when making dumplings? What if you dirty their clothes?"
In the end, because little Momo was too small, he was carried up by an enthusiastic auntie. Someone gave him two candies, and the little guy chewed one in his mouth and held the other in his little hand in front of him. He comfortably watched his sister being carried by those uncles and aunts to make dumplings.
"This is how we make dumplings. Look, we take a piece of dough, spread it out, and then put some meat on it. Then, we pinch it with our fingers and the dumplings are ready!" Big Sister Xiao Cai taught Xi Xi, but she was clearly a rookie. Not only was the way she made dumplings, but the dumplings she made were so ugly that people couldn't bear to look at them.
At first, Xi Xi listened patiently and watched curiously. However, when Sister Cai was done, the little girl tilted her head in confusion and pouted. "That's not right … Sister Cai, my, my papa doesn't make dumplings like this. My papa told me to make dumplings like this …"
The little girl gestured with her two small hands as if she was doing a real show. She was very serious about making "dumplings" for Sister Cai to see.
Seeing Xi Xi's serious explanation, the uncles and aunties next to them all laughed. "Xiao Cai, you've been taught a lesson by a child! You want to teach her with your mediocre skills? "
Big Sister Cai, who didn't feel the slightest bit ashamed of misleading others, ignored the teasing laughter. She asked Xixi in surprise, "Xixi, you know how to make dumplings?"
This sentence could be understood in another way. If Xi Xi had only seen her father make dumplings, then Sister Cai would probably continue to encourage Xi Xi to teach her the "simple" way to make dumplings.
However, Sister Cai was destined to be disappointed.
Xi Xi nodded seriously and said, "Yes, I know how to make dumplings! Sister Cai, let me tell you, we also know how to make dumplings at home. Xin Er and I both love eating the dumplings made by PaPa! Then, PaPa said that you should pack a few as well. Later, let's see if you can find them … "
The little girl even imitated her father's tone of voice, which instantly made these old uncles and aunties extremely adorable.
The more Xi Xi talked, the more excited she became. She talked about how she and her friends designed their own dumplings as if she was telling a story. She also talked about how her brother only liked to eat the fillings when he ate dumplings but was afraid of being scalded.
Accompanied by the little girl's story, the table was filled with laughter. Unknowingly, they had made a lot of dumplings. Of course, Xi Xi also made a few. But it was a pity that the little girl didn't look as good — she was just a little better than Sister Cai!
…
At noon, the ambassador who had just gone out, Gao Yi, the minister who had gone to pick up Yang Yi, and several leaders of the embassy walked in with a few foreigners. They smiled and said, "Let's welcome Mr. Smith, the ambassador of Canada to France, and Mr. Williams, the ambassador of New Zealand to France …"
After all, it was a diplomatic institution, and it was normal to invite ambassadors from other countries to celebrate the Spring Festival.
This had nothing to do with Yang Yi, because it was not his turn to help greet the guests.
However, when the dumplings were in the pot, there were fewer people around Yang Yi and Murphy. Gao Yi walked over and whispered to Yang Yi, "Just now, there was news from France that their president is signing a document. It is estimated that the restrictions will be lifted tomorrow. If you are in a hurry to go back home, I will arrange the earliest flight for you."
Obviously, due to the pressure of public opinion and the frequent pressure from the embassies of many countries, the French police had to give in. Moreover, they didn't want to lose face.
The reason why Gao Yi took care of Yang Yi so much was not only because of Yang Yi's special identity, but also because someone in China said hello. And this person was not Guo Zhengyan, who was just a small mayor, but the former deputy commander of the Southwest Military Region, Lieutenant General Zhang Yazhong, who had now been promoted to Beijing. He was the big boss who had invited Yang Yi to be the spokesperson of the Southwest Military Region.
Although France could not find any information and refused to admit their mistakes, in the hands of the senior officials of various countries, there was a piece of information about "what happened" inside the train station. In China, there was a lot of information about this. Although it had not been confirmed who did it, Zhang Yazhong had asked Luo Zongsheng and Shen Xinyu.
"Needless to say, who else but Old Yang could kill so many people single-handedly with such great skills? This guy is too bad, he even got into a fight with KBFZ! "Shen Xinyu was so excited that she couldn't wait to fight side by side with Yang Yi.
Luo Zongsheng was much calmer. He held Shen Xinyu down, gave her a look, and said, "It might not be Yang Yi. His identity is different now. It's unlikely that he would make a move casually. Moreover, I haven't seen him for more than a year. I don't know if his skills have deteriorated."
Although Luo Zongsheng was covering for Yang Yi, everyone was well aware.
In any case, these private discussions would not be leaked. Zhang Yazhong also asked for help and asked the embassy to help Yang Yi solve the problems as much as possible so that Yang Yi could be brought back as soon as possible.
After all, Yang Yi was also one of the military's "own people"!
…
After knowing that they would be back in China soon, Yang Yi and Murphy looked at each other and smiled. Murphy also held Yang Yi's hand tightly. She was very happy.
At noon, everyone ate dumplings together and ate the reunion dinner prepared by the embassy's chefs. They celebrated Chinese New Year's Eve together with the time in China. Of course, an essential program for the Chinese New Year was watching the Spring Festival Gala.
It was worth mentioning that the video they recorded in the morning was also shown on the Spring Festival Gala. Yang Yi and his family appeared in the French embassy, which caused quite a stir in China.
Of course, during this time, Yang Yi's phone calls were endless. The calls from his relatives and friends across the sea were basically non-stop. It was not until the Spring Festival Gala ended and people in China fell asleep to the sound of firecrackers that Yang Yi's situation finally calmed down.
The Chinese New Year's Spring Festival Gala had ended, but in Paris, night had just fallen. The embassy's own celebration of the Chinese New Year had just begun!
After the ambassador gave a simple speech, he smiled and said, "Let's not beat around the bush. Tonight, a celebrity couple, who can't be invited even if we spend a lot of money in China, will come to our banquet hall. We can't let them go. Yang Yi, Murphy, why don't the two of you perform first?"
This was already discussed. Yang Yi and Murphy had also practiced this new song in private. Therefore, Yang Yi stood up with a smile and made a gentlemanly gesture of invitation. Murphy gently held Yang Yi's outstretched hand. The two of them looked at each other sweetly and walked to the center of the banquet hall.
Perhaps it was because she was on the stage, but Murphy's temperament suddenly changed. She, who had become weak because of worry and fear, was now calm and composed. It was as if she had naturally become the focus of the stage. Murphy showed a strong sense of confidence.
"Hey, it's PaPa and Mom!" Xi Xi clapped her hands and shouted excitedly. She had been playing at Sister Cai's table this afternoon. She was very happy to see her parents on the stage. She excitedly reached out and tugged at Tong Tong, who was busy eating snacks. "Little brother, look, it's PaPa and Mom!"
With this tug, the fried dough twist in Tong Tong's hand fell from his pants and rolled to the ground.
When Xi Xi saw this, she scratched her head a little embarrassedly and whispered, "But, but PaPa and Mom, they want to sing …"
Sister Cai noticed this and quickly withdrew her clapping hand. She helped break open a section of the fried dough twist and handed it to Tong Tong. She said, "It's okay that it fell. There's more!"
