Strict Wife Of The '70s Manages The Household

Chapter 306

She beckoned him to sit down and said softly, “There are so many of them and the rations are tight now, so not being able to share their food with you would be normal. If it weren’t for the fact that we have many children and me not earning much work points, I would be happy to give them some food tickets. “

She knew how to coax a man, alright.

Han Qingsong ate in silence without saying a word.

For some reason, Lin Lan couldn’t bear to see him becoming more and more silent.

After thinking about it, she felt that it was odd for him to have this reaction. Since it wasn’t the first time he was scolded, his mood shouldn’t have been dampened to this extent.

The man who was usually strong and indifferent was suddenly showing a fragile appearance and that made her feel kind of bad.

Lin Lan then used a very gentle tone when speaking to him. From Han Qingsong’s point of view, it seemed like the tone she used when coaxing Xiaowang or a sick child.

Hence, he became even more reserved.

Lin Lan suddenly remembered, “Aiya, did you bring the large bowl back?”

Han Qingsong stood up, “I’ll go and get it.”

Lin Lan hurriedly held him down as she felt bad for him. After sending a bunch of goodies to his family and being kicked out of the house, if she were to ask him to get the bowl now, wouldn’t he feel worse?

She said, “Forget it, the old lady is definitely not interested in giving back that big bowl, so I’ll just pretend I gave it to her,” Later, she’ll go over to ask for the bowl in person and see if they dare reject her.

The children didn’t dare to be naughty when they saw their father looking unhappy, so they hurried towards the east room to listen to the radio after eating.

Lin Lan said, “Your father bought you all mooncakes and apples. Everyone gets one each, so no snatching over them. You don’t have to eat them all tonight, so you can eat them tomorrow if you want.”

The children all rushed to the east room. Erwang went to the desk on the wall to adjust the radio stations while the others ran to the kang to get the mooncakes and apples.

Sanwang wanted to exchange apples for the rock candy in his elder sister’s and brother’s mooncakes, but no one else would exchange theirs with him. He even tried causing a fuss over Erwang’s mooncake, so the scene was a chaotic mess.

Lin Lan felt at ease when she heard the children finally being lively. She brought the food to Han Qingsong, “Eat some more.”

She imagined Han Qingsong’s unspeakable grievances and felt sorry for him for a bit. Then, she took the initiative to peel a salted egg, “We pickled these ourselves, but it’s not as delicious as salted duck eggs since we didn’t use oil.”

Han Qingsong ate the egg from her hand, “It’s alright,” He continued to eat in silence.

After eating, Lin Lan cleared the table and the cutlery. Han Qingsong rolled up his sleeves and went to help her wash the dishes.

Lin Lan was happy, but she wanted to remain polite at least when it came to words. However, Han Qingsong didn’t bother to say anything else as he grabbed the dishes from her. There were some remnants of oil left on the plates, so he asked Lin Lan to bring him some baking soda.

“Here you go, Director Han, the baking soda you ordered,” Lin Lan handed it to him with a smile.

Han Qingsong, “…”

Lin Lan stood on the sides as she admired the tall man who leaned over to wash the dishes, looking very harmonious and gentle.

She was quite satisfied with Han Qingsong’s recent performance.
