Chapter 369 - 365 Mom’s Suffering is Worthwhile [Honor Roll+]
——————
Because of the layer of oil on top, the soup stayed warm even after sitting for over an hour.
Realizing his young wife’s usual habits, he immediately knew that when she said she couldn’t drink it, she really couldn’t, and she wasn’t just making it up.
"Silly girl, if you don’t like the layer of oil on the soup, next time we’ll just ask Mom to skim it off for you."
Xie Jingchen, seeing this, could only take the soup pot from his wife’s hands and use the ladle to personally scrape off the chicken fat, spoon by spoon, pouring it into his own bowl.
This layer of fat was actually a delicacy, and not wanting to waste it, Xie Jingchen directly mixed the chicken fat with his rice. After giving his wife the fat-skimmed chicken soup, he mixed everything left on his plate together and devoured it.
Zhang Shanni would take a sip of soup and then glance at her husband, careful not to let her eyes linger on the large bowl in his hands—the mere sight of that layer of oil was enough to make her feel full.
It was only because Xie Jingchen had been on a mission recently and cooking oil was in severe shortage that he considered the chicken oil to be a treasure not to be wasted—in the future, not to mention chicken oil, even chicken meat would be chosen with particular care!
Xie Jingchen ate quickly; Zhang Shanni had already finished her meal. Only this chicken soup was left because of the oily layer. By coaxing her mother-in-law with the excuse that it was too hot and to wait until it cooled down a bit, it was hence preserved until now.
Luckily, her husband had returned; otherwise, she would have been worried about how to explain to her mother-in-law that she didn’t want to drink that layer of oil.
