Strict Wife Of The '70s Manages The Household

Han Qingsong reached out to grab her, but she smiled and avoided him.

After a while, Eldest Brother Han came in from the outside and beamed, “Third Brother, my siblings, take the children and let’s go. Our parents want your family to go over to celebrate the New Year,” He was really happy, “Your Eldest Sister-in-law made a table of delicious food and made dumplings. It’s not easy for us as a family to have a meal together. We must all go according to our parents’ wishes.”

Lin Lan was a little puzzled. Was it that formal to the point of needing Eldest Brother Han to call them over?

She smiled and answered, “Eldest Brother, look at so many of our children. If we all go to eat, would Old Lady Han not feel pain?”

Eldest Brother Han said, “These many children belong to our old Han’s family and the meal should be as it is meant to be. With so many people during the Chinese New Year, the atmosphere would be prosperous and the old lady would be happy.”

Lin Lan didn’t have much hope, but since she had made an agreement with Han Qingsong to go to the main house when called, she wouldn’t disappoint him.

“We made dumplings, so we’ll bring a cover over. There are still a few meat dishes, so let’s take them over and eat together.”

Since the old lady asked them to go to celebrate the New Year and they abided by the etiquette, she would naturally do the same.

Now that it was New Year’s Eve, she might as well take a few bowls of stew and bring it with her.

Of course, she didn’t need to bring all of them since she wasn’t prepared that they would be able to eat their fill there. This was just a formality and she probably was going to eat another meal when she got home.

A large bowl of roasted pork with potatoes, three stewed mackerels, a bowl of chicken jelly and a small pot of pork skin jelly was brought. She thought that Old Lady Han must have made some cabbage vermicelli, so she didn’t take her own before serving a large bowl of soybean stew.

Chicken jelly was a local Chinese New Year dish. The big rooster was stewed in soup and then the chicken skin would be torn into small pieces and added to the soup. Add salt, coriander and other sides to it and after cooling, it would condense into jelly. It was cooling and delicious, which was why both adults and children loved it.

There were also pig skin jelly and pig trotter jelly, which could be eaten as a dish after being stewed in a pot. 𝚋ｅ𝚍ｎ𝚘ｖｅ𝚕．𝚘𝚛𝚐

Eldest Brother Han was a little embarrassed to see her generously bringing so much meat and vegetables. After all, the old lady was gossiping at home, complaining that Lin Lan would be reluctant to give them any food. Now, it’s Lin Lan who was generous.

On the contrary, the preparations at home were too shabby.

Han Qingsong steadily held the dumpling cover and beckoned the children to follow. Maisui played with a flashlight in front of the team and Dawang helped the adults take the dishes.

As soon as they entered the door, Eldest Brother Han shouted happily, “Father, mother, the Third Family is here and they have prepared some great dishes.”
