Lin Lan pointed to the pork ribs and glutinous rice, “Steamed pork ribs with glutinous rice,” It helped that the glutinous rice Han Qingsong brought back were made locally.
“Wow!” Just the ribs were enough, but to know that there was even more good food to accompany it, the kids were excited to the point where their faces started glowing.
Eldest Aunt Han was attracted to the grand meal for a moment and couldn’t help but say, “Third Brother, don’t say that your eldest sister is nagging at you, but this is for your own good. It’s fine to live your own lives, but how can you do it to such an extent? If you have some good food, how can you not care about our father and mother before eating it yourself? Everyone knows that you should share…”
“Let’s go, we’re getting the food,” Han Qingsong pushed the bicycle and walked out.
Eldest Aunt Han hurried to catch up, but Han Qingsong had long legs and large strides as he pushed the bicycle at a faster pace. She couldn’t catch up, so she kept shouting, “Third Brother, don’t rush, let’s discuss this.”
She thought that Han Qingsong was joking or just putting on airs. Perhaps, she thought that he might even just be a bit stingy and was unwilling to let his nephew live with him.
How was she to know that her Third Brother was too sincere in letting his nephew stay behind and it was in no way a joke at all.
He was truly going to the Linhe Village. To. Get. Food!
Eldest Aunt Han felt very desperate!
She repeatedly tried to talk about letting Mangang eat some of the food in their home before she could return them the amount by New Year’s but Han Qingsong wasn’t listening.
She had no choice but to insist that Mangang didn’t have to live there anymore. In the future, she would bring his food over the next time he wants to stay in his uncle’s house.
Han Qingsong still didn’t listen, “Eldest Sister, Mangang is already a big boy, yet he’s as scrawny as a worm? How can I continue to let this be? He has to undergo a good practice session.”
Eldest Aunt Han really wanted to sob at that point.
In the end, Eldest Aunt Han begged and begged, insisting that she would let Mangang come over to practice after the spring of next year, when the weather was warmer. In winter, the child might catch a cold all too easily if he didn’t have thicker clothes with him.
Han Qingsong thought for a while before he agreed, “Then next year.”
Eldest Aunt Han finally breathed a sigh of relief. Thank the Lords, she nearly lost her son.
Halfway towards her house, she remembered that Mangang wasn’t with her.
Han Qingsong said, “You should just go home. Later, I’ll just ask the child to go home by himself. A big boy like him wouldn’t be lost that easily.”
At this time, there truly weren’t any cases of robbery, let alone child abduction. As long as it wasn’t done intentionally, no one would actually be lost.
Eldest Aunt Han was still worried though, so she came back to take Mangang home. Carrying the bedding with them, they took the initiative to leave while the sky was still bright.
Han Qingsong actively saw them off since it was getting dark.
