Chapter 77

Before Uncle Mao left, Tang Wan stuffed some raspberries into his mouth. Uncle Mao wanted to refuse, but was stopped by Tang Wan.

"We should have transported the furniture ourselves. Uncle Mao took the trouble to make the trip. These are just things from the mountains and are not worth much."

"You guys paid for the ox cart rental, so I'll just go with you."

Uncle Mao smiled innocently, but didn't refuse the raspberries. He took them back to give to the children to sweeten their mouths.

After cleaning up the yard, Tang Wan found them in the corner of the backyard. Lu Huaijing was killing chickens with Tang Zhou.

Tang Zhou kept chattering about how lucky Tang Wan was, saying that this pheasant was simply tired of living.

Lu Huaijing was quite patient with Tang Zhou and taught him how to kill a chicken.

The two of them were busy. Tang Wan went into the house to steam rice and took out some fresh wild boar from the kitchen.

When Lu Huaijing came in with the prepared chicken, Tang Wan had already steamed the pork with rice flour.

"Wife, Cheng Xiaoyue and I are innocent."

Lu Huaijing sent Tang Zhou away. He walked a few steps to Tang Wan, put the chicken on the chopping board, and explained to her in a low voice.

"I didn't say I didn't believe you."

Tang Wan's voice was soft. She turned her head and looked at Lu Huaijing, "Who made my man popular?"

"You're really not angry?"

Lu Huaijing held her in his arms, his chin resting on the top of her head, feeling inexplicably lost.

"real."

Tang Wan also chuckled and assured, she took the kitchen knife and chopped the chicken again and again.

Although he had an extremely gentle face, Lu Huaijing could feel the murderous aura from the thumping of the knife.

Bang, bang, bang…

Is she...is she really not angry?

"Wife, I'm coming."

Lu Huaijing placed his big palm on the back of her hand, and his low, hoarse voice revealed tenderness, which somehow soothed Tang Wan's somewhat irritable mood.

She handed him the kitchen knife and said, "Cut it into small pieces. I want to make spicy chicken."

"Don't worry, wife. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Lu Huaijing is not very good at coaxing people, so he follows Tang Wan's wishes and the two of them divide the work and cooperate with each other.

After a while, Tang Zhou came in carrying a few ugly pears. He raised the bag and said:

"I have to say that Victory was given to me by his mother."

He looked a little arrogant, and although he was obviously very happy in his heart, he still had to show a reluctant look.

Tang Wan said with a smile: "Then you can put it in the cupboard as a snack."

"good."

Tang Zhou had just packed up his things when Tang Wan had already cooked the dishes: spicy chicken, steamed pork with rice flour, braised pork in brown sauce, and stir-fried wild vegetables.

Four dishes for three people is a treat only available during Chinese New Year. Tang Zhou's eyes were almost green with envy, and he quickly set the table.

“It smells so good.”

Tang Zhou took a deep breath and sat there obediently. He did not move until Tang Wan and Lu Huaijing picked up their chopsticks.

"Eat quickly."

Lu Huaijing thought that his wife and brother-in-law were both very well-educated people, so he first picked up a chicken leg for Tang Wan.

She also did not forget to take Tang Zhou down and picked up his favorite chicken wings for him.

"When are you leaving tomorrow?"

Tang Wan took a bite of the chicken and couldn't help but ask.

Spicy chicken was a dish she used to like very much, but this time she actually thought it was just so-so.

"It's a little early tomorrow morning, so don't get up to see me off."

Lu Huaijing paused as he held the chopsticks. "Wife, I'll be back soon."

"be safe."

Tang Wan gave a few dry instructions. She didn't have a big appetite and didn't eat much.

The two were amazed at the braised pork made by Tang Wan, and Tang Zhou was even shaking his head while eating.

"Sister, the food you cook is so delicious. I will never get tired of it in my lifetime."

“I won’t cook for you all my life.”

Tang Wan laughed, "When you grow up and get married, you two can form a family and cook for yourselves."

"Then I must let my wife learn more from my sister."

Tang Zhou's matter-of-fact words startled Tang Wan, and she tapped Tang Zhou's forehead lightly with her chopsticks.

"Why do you want your wife to learn from me? Do you think women are the ones who cook at home?"

I didn't expect that Tang Zhou, who was so young, had such dangerous thoughts.

Tang Wan's question made Tang Zhou stunned. He opened his mouth blankly, "Isn't it?"

He saw that in many families it was the women who cooked.

"Of course not."

Tang Wan said with a straight face, "Since we have formed a family, then that family is everyone's home.

There is no specific person who must do the housework. Whoever has free time can do it. This is called division of labor and cooperation.

If one person works hard for a long time, he or she will get tired. A family needs to be managed by both husband and wife together."

She spoke seriously and did not notice that Lu Huaijing, who was sitting next to her, seemed to be thinking about something.

Is the daughter-in-law hinting at him?

Lu Huaijing realized that he would help his wife more with housework after returning from his mission.

"I see."

Tang Zhou nodded obediently and took his sister's words to heart, which helped him to overcome many stumbling blocks in his future pursuit of his wife.

Everyone was very satisfied with the meal. Lu Huaijing had a big appetite, so he used a large bowl to eat up all the leftovers.

Tang Wan was stunned. After all, the chicken weighed three or four pounds.

“It was so delicious, I couldn’t resist.”

As soon as Lu Huaijing put down the bowl, he was met with Tang Wan's surprised expression. He awkwardly picked up the dishes and went to wash them.

Tang Wan called him for the rare occasion, and said softly, "Put it there, I'll wash it later."

He will be going on a mission tomorrow, and Tang Wan wanted to be considerate to him for once.

As a result, this guy ran away very quickly with the dishes and chopsticks, as if he was afraid that Tang Wan would snatch them away.

Tang Wan: …

"Sister, your brother-in-law is helping you with the housework."

Tang Zhou tilted his head. The principles his sister had just taught him were still ringing in his ears. His brother-in-law was able to apply them flexibly.

Tang Wan: …

Thinking about what she had just said, she suddenly understood.

It seems that Lu Huaijing misunderstood something, but it seems to be a wonderful misunderstanding.

If he wants to do more housework in the future, Tang Wan will never stop him. She is in the process of cultivating a good husband.

She glanced at the two people busy in the kitchen with a good mood, and went back to her room humming a song.

Perhaps because her mood had improved, she wrote today's article particularly smoothly.

By the time she finished writing, Tang Zhou had already washed up and went back to his room to read. Lu Huaijing cleaned the kitchen and small compartment thoroughly.

"Wife, the water is ready for you."

Lu Huaijing knocked on the door with a gentle voice, and Tang Wan rubbed her tired eyes.

"good."

This time she didn't delay and quickly took a shower and put on her pajamas. As soon as they returned to the room, there was a knock on the door.

Lu Huaijing frowned, "Wife, don't come out. I'll go out and take a look."

"I'll go with you."

Tang Wan already had a guess in her mind. When the gate opened and she saw Captain Cheng Xu Cuiying and Cheng Xiaoyue, understanding appeared in her eyes.

"Sister-in-law, thank you for saving my daughter Cuiying. This is a small gift to thank you."

Captain Cheng was holding a can of maltose and some fruit in his hand, and Xu Cuiying leaned weakly on his shoulder.

Behind them, Cheng Xiaoyue curled her lips and rolled her eyes.
