Strict Wife Of The ’70s Manages The Household - Chapter 808

The family sat around the table as the stewed chicken with mushrooms and coriander was so fragrant that it made everyone think that they were dreaming.

Xiaowang was dizzy with the aroma of the stewed chicken. He was about to stand up and sing something loudly, but Sanwang shouted, “Brother Xiaowang, I’ll do it for you.”

He laughed and picked up the bowl, “Ah~ meat, ah~ what a wonderful life! Ahhh, I love you!” Then he sat down and buried his head in the chicken soup.

Xiaowang looked at him and said seriously, “Third Brother, I never thought about that. I just wanted to sing the chicken song.”

Sanwang swallowed the chicken soup in his mouth, “Is that right? I learned a sentence from our mother— listen up guys.”

He cleared his throat and sang, “I trusted you, I trusted you, I laid eggs for you, but why, why, why did you betray me? Oh, oh oh, you hurt me! And you just laughed it off…I laid eggs for you, but you stewed me in a pot~~~”

“Hahaha…Sanwang you brat, if you don’t want to eat it, then forget it!” Maisui stomped her feet and laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. Erwang also laughed so hard that he leaned his head on his twin’s shoulder, laughing uncontrollably. Lin Lan also laughed really forcefully to the point that she held the table with one hand and rubbed her stomach with the other, “Third Donkey, you…are you going to make us die of laughter and monopolise this pot of chicken?”

Dawang on the opposite side couldn’t help it as the corners of his mouth were pulled up into a grin that revealed a row of neat white teeth. Then, he raised his hand to slap Sanwang who was lowering his head to eat the chicken.

Han Qingsong put his fist against his lips while his shoulders shook with ebbs of barely-controlled-laughter, but his dark eyes looked at Lin Lan across from him. The way she laughed out loud was no different from the children, which made him feel particularly good.

Xiaowang was still young and didn’t understand some things, so he couldn’t understand his Little Third Brother’s sense of humour. He saw that everyone was laughing so hard while his Third Brother ate, so he commented, “Third Brother, you are so cunning! You made everyone laugh so hard that you’re the only one eating the chicken now.”

The littlest one quickly picked up a piece of chicken leg and put it in Lin Lan’s bowl, “Mom, let me grab one for you.”

Lin Lan picked it up and put it in his bowl instead, “Good boy, you eat it. There’s a big pot of it, mom will have enough to eat too.”

The chicken at this time was different from the chemically-altered-chickens in later generations of the modern era. This chicken covered the soup with a layer of golden oil. Not only was the chicken meat extremely delicious, but the chicken skin was also very elastic. The chicken pieces were stewed and rolled up, which made them both fragrant and chewy. In short, it was really tasty.

Lin Lan asked the kids to eat as much as they wanted. After all, they were only able to have chicken twice a year, which was why she wanted the kids to eat to their heart’s content.

The children ate so much that their stomachs became round. They walked around the yard with their bellies in their hands to digest the food. They were so full that no one touched the moon cakes and apples prepared by Lin Lan afterwards.

During the autumn, there were no cicadas or larvaes to catch. Apart from listening to the radio broadcasts, there was nothing else to do. Dawang was ‘promoted’ as he wished, so he led his younger brothers to the Production Team to peel corn and earn some more work points.

The days were already short during the Mid-Autumn Festival. It was still bright when they were eating, but it was dim by the time they were done. Lin Lan lit the lantern and hung it on the door frame to illuminate the area for Han Qingsong.
