Chapter 1176: Heading to the Frontier 6
Mother Yang and Grandmother Tian immediately felt a great burden lift from their shoulders.
After Lu Jiang dropped off his nephew at home, he hurriedly left, barely having time to glance at his wife and younger son.
Guan Cheng took on all the household chores that day, slaughtering chickens, stewing soup, cooking meals, frying dishes, washing diapers – skilled in every task. He could even help hold his two younger brothers, the third and fourth sons, while Lu Tianzhi and Guan Yu concentrated on caring for Xibao and Fubao.
Therefore, Mother Yang and Grandmother Tian only needed to take care of the third and fourth sons, while Tian Ling could help wash some clothes for Feng Qingxue.
"Qingxue, your nephew is truly capable. I’ve never seen a young man so skilled," Guan Cheng said, adding noodles to the chicken soup that had been stewing all day, cracking two eggs into it to make poached eggs, and tearing up some tender chicken leg meat to put into it before serving it to Feng Qingxue at the kang table. Tian Ling was full of praise for him.
Guan Cheng smiled sheepishly, telling Feng Qingxue, "Auntie, I’ve skimmed the floating oil off the soup. It’s very light, not greasy at all. You should eat it while it’s hot." He knew Feng Qingxue’s dietary preferences.
As soon as Feng Qingxue smelled the chicken soup, she couldn’t resist any longer.
It wasn’t that she was craving the meat but because the addition of two people at home made it inconvenient to use many ingredients. Often, Lu Jiang would stew pigeon or chicken soup for her in the middle of the night to drink in the morning, then dispose of the evidence before Tian Ling and Mother Yang came over.
So, she hadn’t really drunk such fresh chicken soup during the day, even though it was now evening, greatly changing her former habits.
It was their own home-raised old hen, so fragrant one could almost swallow their tongue.
