Chapter 15: Chicken Dinner, Big Chicken!
The Lou family was overjoyed that Lou Yansui was willing to step out of the room.
When everyone returned home, they saw Lou Yansui sitting in a wheelchair in front of them. Everyone subconsciously stopped and blinked hard.
I was afraid that what I was seeing was an illusion.
Upon learning that it was true, everyone was incredibly excited, and the First Madam's eyes immediately welled up with tears.
After the accident that happened to Lou Yansui, they tried everything they could, but they couldn't get him to cheer up. They could only watch him lock himself in his room, trapped in a psychological shadow, becoming more and more depressed and despondent each day.
I thought this would be how it would be for the rest of my life, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and I saw him take the initiative to step out of the room one day.
Since he's willing to go out on his own initiative, does that mean he'll pull himself together again?
It should be noted that all four sons of the Lou family were outstanding individuals. Lou Yansui was once an exceptionally talented young man. He was even more intelligent than his older brothers and could learn anything quickly. If it weren't for the unexpected accident, he could have shone brightly.
Originally, Commander Lou was still furious about Lou Hongjian's matter, so he couldn't care less about his good-for-nothing third son. Commander Lou strode up to his fourth son, and seeing his emaciated appearance, his tiger-like eyes reddened slightly.
He patted his fourth son on the shoulder and said "good" several times.
"It's good that you're willing to go out."
When asked why, I finally got to the bottom of it.
Lou Yansui said, "I only found out at the very end that Third Brother took Mao Mao to the racecourse. I don't want to be completely unaware next time, and then be unable to do anything when Mao Mao tells me about it."
Lou Dashuai laughed even more heartily.
"It's all thanks to Mao Mao," said Commander Lou beaming. "Mao Mao is truly my little lucky star. Since she came to our home, one good thing after another has happened. Ah Chun, bring me a bottle of good wine!"
The first wife looked at her sons with a smile and told the maid to bring a few more wine glasses so they could celebrate together.
Lou Yansui hadn't expected his parents to be so excited, and looking at his other brothers, all of them had joy on their faces. He clutched the blanket on his lap and lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly.
Lou Dashuai scooped the little girl up in his arms and affectionately rubbed his rough beard against her soft cheek. He was so excited that he didn't control his strength, rubbing Mao Mao's cheek until it turned red.
Mao Mao: "Oh dear!"
Lou Yansui gripped the wheelchair armrests worriedly and called out anxiously, "Dad!"
At this moment, Commander Lou listened to him the most. As soon as he called, he quickly put the little girl down.
Lou Yansui pulled her younger sister over and tenderly touched her flushed cheeks: "Mao Mao, are you alright?"
Mao Mao shook her head: "It's okay."
As a pampered baby, she was already used to being kissed and hugged by others.
Commander Lou waved his hand and said, "Mao Mao, you've done a great service. What reward do you want?"
"Meritorious service?" Mao Mao asked blankly, "What kind of merit?"
She's so young; she has no idea how important Lou Yansui's willingness to go out is to the Lou family. Even if you explained it to her, she wouldn't understand.
Lou Heming adjusted his glasses and said gently to her, "You play with Asui every day, you've worked hard, so all the dads want to give you a reward."
Lou Dashuai: "Yes, yes!"
"Oh!" Mao Mao suddenly realized, then asked in confusion, "But isn't Mao Mao working hard?"
Mao Mao said, "Fourth Brother reads to Mao Mao and tells her stories. Fourth Brother works even harder!"
Everyone laughed.
The first wife said gently, "If I say I'm giving it to you, then take it and think it over carefully."
Lou Dashuai: "That's right, what do you want? Money, gold, jewels, whatever Mao Mao wants, Dad will give you anything!"
Mao Mao fell into deep thought.
"And then there's Asui." Commander Lou looked at his fourth son and said with emotion, "Asui, what do you want?"
Lou Yansui smiled and said, "Dad, I don't want anything. You can give it all to Mao Mao."
Lou Hongjian muttered to himself, "Ah Sui was able to cheer up because of me... So, I've also done a good job, shouldn't I be rewarded?"
Before he could finish speaking, Lou Fengju, who was standing next to him, kicked his shin, causing his younger brother to stumble. Lou Hongjian chuckled twice, his injuries still throbbing, and obediently shut up.
A moment later, Mao Mao suddenly exclaimed "Ah!" and looked up in surprise.
I've got it!
Mao Mao said excitedly, "Mao Mao wants to...eat chicken!"
Lou Dashuai: "PUBG?"
"A chicken that's so big, so big, so big!" Mao Mao stretched her little hand out as far as she could and drew a huge circle. "This chicken is so big! Mao Mao wants to eat it!"
"chicken?"
The group exchanged glances, and in each other's eyes, they saw confusion.
Chickens are very common and are often found on the dinner table.
But chickens that big are hard to find these days.
Although the little girl's hands were short, the circles she drew when she stretched them out were several sizes larger than those of an ordinary chicken.
I've seen chicken prepared in all sorts of ways, from roast chicken to fried chicken to braised chicken, but where can I find a chicken this big?
Everyone looked at Xia Xiaoxiang, who herself seemed completely bewildered. Sometimes, even her own mother didn't know what was going on in her daughter's little head.
Suddenly, Lou Yansui also exclaimed "Ah!"
"Is Mao Mao talking about turkeys?"
"turkey?"
“When I read her stories before, the stories mentioned turkeys,” Lou Yansui said. “She asked me what a turkey was, and I said it was much bigger than a regular chicken, with a leg as long as her arm.”
Mao Mao's eyes sparkled, and her lips glistened as she nodded, "Big chicken!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Lou Dashuai asked, "Just want to eat chicken?"
Mao Mao nodded emphatically: "Eat chicken! Big chicken!"
Lou Dashuai looked down at her for a long time, looking her up and down, and only saw a longing for turkey in her dark, grape-like eyes.
Looking at that tender and adorable little face, so chubby and innocent, Lou Dashuai felt helpless.
He made so many promises, and people sought wealth, power, fame, and fortune from him.
This was the first time someone had ever asked him for... a chicken.
What else can we do?
Lou Dashuai waved his hand and said generously, "What the hell is this turkey? Eat! Eat as much as you want!"
