She noted that the bowl of glutinous rice was still at home, so she sent Dawang to deliver it over.
Even after a while, both father and son hadn’t returned home. Lin Lan didn’t bother that much, thinking that Dawang probably went to play with someone he met on the way or something.
Seeing that the glutinous rice was almost done soaking, she started cooking the rice.
Erwang and Maisui came over spontaneously to help.

The recipe of stewed eggs with Chinese cabbage was created by Erwang to save their consumption on eggs. Everyone liked eggs stewed with green onions, but since it was not enough, he changed it to adding Chinese cabbage. Adding some shrimp skin in it made the entire dish calcium-enriched and delicious.
Erwang peeled some cabbage for her and washed them before spreading them on a large round tea tray. Then, he put the mixed glutinous rice and ribs on the cabbage whilst spreading out the contents.
Lin Lan boasted, “Son, it will be great for you to be a gourmet chef in the future.”
Senior chefs or gourmet chefs were all good positions. At any rate, they were better than him fooling around with women and relying on his looks and sly words for the next meal.
Erwang smiled and said, “Mother, it’s already pretty good for me to be able to eat till I’m full, let alone become a gourmet chef. But even going to work in a state-run restaurant as a chef…is not that easy, right?”
Lin Lan patted him on the shoulder, “Child, you have to go to college first. Plus, it would be more appropriate to say that I’m the one working as a normal chef, not you.”
Erwang, “Mother, I think that you can really do a lot more.”
The mother-son duo started to discuss their opinions fervently.
Soon, Lin Lan looked outside, “Sanwang, why hasn’t your Eldest Brother come back yet? Go and have a look.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSanwang was secretly playing with the radio while his siblings were away. However, when he heard Lin Lan calling him to do something, he jumped off the ground, put on his wool socks and ran outside.
After a bit, Sanwang came back with an astonished expression, “Mother, there’s a fight going on at grandmother’s house!”
Lin Lan looked at his face that glowed with interest and fascination before deciding that this kid was truly beyond saving.
“Your Eldest Brother was beaten?”
“No, my Eldest Aunt-in-law and the youngest aunt were fighting. Grandmother ended up hitting Eldest Aunt-in-law and grandfather tried to stop her, but in the end she ended up hitting him as well…”
Lin Lan’s head grew dizzy from the influx of information, but she wasn’t that worried as long as her children weren’t the ones on the receiving end,”What about your Eldest Brother? Hurry up and ask him to come back; we’ll start eating as soon as your father returns.”
“My Eldest Brother is not at grandmother’s house, I don’t know where he went,” Sanwang said.
Lin Lan, “He went to deliver food, so where else could he be? Try calling for him around the area and see.”
Sanwang ran away.
