Strict Wife Of The '70s Manages The Household-Chapter 534

Lin Lan didn’t force him. At any rate, if the person who cooked liked to do it, the food would turn out great; if the person didn’t like to cook, it would turn out poisonous.

With the help of Erwang and Maisui, they could get by just fine.

She asked Dawang to lead Sanwang and paste the couplets on the doors, the window grilles, etc. She had already prepared the paste, so they just needed to stick it on.

The window grilles were cut and given to her by some old ladies in the village. Even though Lin Lan refused, she ended up taking them back. The windows and doors were then pasted up with couplets and decor, looking very festive.

Afterwards, the boys followed the men to the graves to worship their ancestors and add a fresh batch of soil to them. When they came back, Lin Lan’s dumplings were almost ready.

She prepared two kinds of dumplings— pork and cabbage dumplings and tofu dumplings. 𝑏𝑒𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Some children didn’t like tofu dumplings because they thought it smelled like beans, especially Dawang and Sanwang.

But as a custom, this flavour was a must for good luck.

In order to make sure that her children liked it, Lin Lan deliberately soaked the tofu in boiling water first. Then, she chopped it and added chopped spinach, vermicelli, before drying the fat and mincing the meat to get the oil out. After that, she put the stuffing in and stir-fried the dumplings to produce a fragrant scent without the smell of the tofu.

Xiaowang and Maisui even ate a small bowl of stuffing since they couldn’t stop themselves.

When Lin Lan and the others finished making the dumplings, Han Qingsong led Dawang and the others back.

Lin Lan went over to him while he was washing his face and asked just to test her theory, “For Chinese New Year, we can go back to the main house.”

Han Qingsong said without the slightest hint of hesitation, “Didn’t you say that we would go back if my parents sent someone to call us? But if they didn’t, then we wouldn’t need to go?”

A while ago, Old Lady Han went to the farm to see Han Qinghua and wanted Han Qingsong to bring him back for the New Year. Han Qingsong said that the farm had a rule that the inmates couldn’t go home in the first year. It was only in the second year when they were allowed to go home.

Old Lady Han was very upset. If she was still angry, she probably wouldn’t ask them to go to the New Year’s reunion dinner.

Han Qingsong felt that since he hadn’t been at home for so many years, he didn’t have to be at home to celebrate the New Year so it didn’t matter whether he went or not. Also, it seemed like the old lady would always get angry upon seeing them. For the sake of the elderly’s health, he naturally tried not to take the initiative to anger them.

It would be good enough to live their own lives.

Hearing what he said, Lin Lan was relieved.

After all, he was still the old lady’s son, which was why Lin Lan was also afraid that he still missed them even if he didn’t say anything. If she didn’t handle this well, he might bear a grudge in the future.

Seeing that he truly didn’t care now, she was very happy in her heart as she secretly kissed his ear while he was bending over to lift the water.
