Strict Wife Of The ’70s Manages The Household - Chapter 768
Sanwang also gave Haonan a broken toy car, the frog toy and some others to play with. He also said that he would lead him to find some cicada larvaes to catch and take him swimming in the water. After hearing this, Haonan wished that he could stay here forever and never return home.
While Lin Lan was leading Maisui and Erwang to cook, she also asked Dawang to lead his younger brothers to play outside for a while. They could choose to play with the swings, the slingshots— whatever.
Anyway, a farm boy could just pick up a pebble and have fun skipping stones for a long time.
What’s more was that there were five puppies at home. They led the litter to play around, which made the puppies extremely tired. Xiaobai staggered back directly from exhaustion and fell down under the gate before it could enter the yard and fell asleep.
Wangwang took it back to her nest with her mouth and slept.
When eating, each person had a pair of chopsticks, so Xiaowang also gave one to Haonan.
Haonan looked around in embarrassment.
Lin Lan, “You have to eat by yourself since no one will feed anyone in this house. After all, there’s so many of us here.”
Haonan could see that the older children were all eating by themselves. In fact, even the youngest was feeding himself as well. At home, he had never touched a pair of chopsticks since he was always either fed by his grandmother or his older sister.
He grabbed the chopsticks and held it in his hand, but he didn’t know how to hold it like everyone else.
Lin Lan, “Little Third Brother, teach him how to use it.”
Sanwang and Xiaowang taught Haonan together step-by-step .
In the end, Haonan could only grip onto it before he started crying, “Chopsticks are so hard to use, Haonan doesn’t know how to…Boohoo…”
He whimpered a few times before he threw his chopsticks down like he would at home. Then, he kicked his legs angrily and started crying. As a result, his eyes locked momentarily with Dawang’s, whose gaze was dark and seemingly deep, which scared Haonan to the point of burping.
The table full of people merely laughed.
Hearing everyone laughing and no one coming to comfort him, let alone scold him, Haonan felt that things were very strange. At home, if he wasn’t able to learn something, he would flap his legs around once he got unhappy. And the typical reaction to that would be his mother scolding him whereas his grandmother would treat him like a precious treasure and start to console.
But things were different here!
He looked at the people at the table and saw that none of them were like his grandmother and mother. Almost all of them were smiling besides the Daguo who had a glaringly cold expression on his face. That eldest brother was scary, boohoo.
Haonan was too frightened to cry and started eating again in an aggrieved manner.
Xiaowang thoughtfully put the vegetables in a bowl for him, “Shove it into your mouth.”
After lunch, the children still have some nap time. Besides Dawang, who was studying on the side, the others opted to not sleep as well as they all tried to teach Haonan how to use a pair of chopsticks.
Lin Lan also took out the grilled cicadas and put them on the table, “If you can pick it up with your chopsticks, you can eat it; if you can’t pick it up, then you don’t get to eat it. I’m telling you, it’s delicious.”
He trained and learned for an entire afternoon.
When the children went to school, Haonan could barely hold the cicada in his hands and was still unable to put it in his mouth, but there was progress after all.
