Lin Lan gave him a reassuring smile, “Don’t be afraid, no matter how good the medicine is, there is no issue in waiting for a day or half a day longer.”
Han Qingsong, who was coaxed like a child, “…”
The meal at noon made the entire family beam.
The meat was mellow yet rich and the vermicelli was full of soup. The mushrooms not only increased the aroma of the meat, but also relieved its greasiness. Truly, they were a golden partner to meat.
All of them ate until their mouths were lined with oil. Sanwang liked to soak his pancakes in the broth, which resulted in a layer of oil covering his entire face.
For the sake of eating their meals happily, everyone tried not to look at him.
Lin Lan picked up a few more pieces of meat and put them in the Sanwang’s bowl, “Come on, Little Third Brother, you deserve it.”
Sanwang, “…” He looked at Dawang before he shared half of it with him, “Eldest Brother, I’ll share it with you.”
Dawang glanced at him and didn’t make a sound as he ate the meat unceremoniously— this was the meat that he used his own flesh and skin to trade for!
Maisui and Erwang couldn’t hold back their joy. They were twins and they practically had the same thoughts, so they could understand each other with just one look. Thanks to that, they were able to grasp a sense of joy and tacit understanding better than others.
Suddenly, Xiaowang held the bowl and chanted, “Ahhh, meat…so delicious! Life is just…so beautiful!” With just these few words, they have a tune of their own, much like a chant in an opera on the radio.
There was a sudden wave of silence at the dinner table as everyone looked at Xiaowang, realising that he was getting more and more interesting as if he was a tall orchid flower suddenly growing out of a garlic seedling.
Seeing everyone staring at him, Xiaowang felt a little embarrassed. His cheeks turned pink as he pushed his glasses and lowered his head to eat the meat silently.
Sanwang slapped the table exaggeratedly and laughed, almost knocking his own bowl over.
Xiaowang pouted and looked at him aggrievedly, not understanding why his Third Brother was laughing .
Lin Lan immediately glared at Sanwang.
Sanwang gave a thumbs up, “Elder Brother Xiaowang, this is for you! I will call you elder brother from now on!”
Erwang and Maisui also gave the child a thumbs up, “Elder Brother Xiaowang!”
“Woof!” Wangwang under the table also joined in on the fun.
Han Qingsong glanced at them. The children all smiled happily and Lin Lan who was seated across from him was also smiling so sweetly and demurely. This…this was kind of good. At the very least, he didn’t regret changing his career and coming back.
At this time, Lin Lan gave him a wink and the emotions in his heart were immediately entangled in tenderness as he also looked at her.
The children on both sides of the square table noticed their parents’ eye contact. They all gave each other a look that practically screamed, “Look at them!”
Originally, Han Qingsong, as the parent, should be seated at the head of the table, but they were not as particular about it as other families were. Han Qingsong sat at the outermost position which was near the door. That was where the wind blew the strongest, so he sat there in order to shield his family from the cold.
