So much meat can't be consumed in just one or two meals.
"Hey, Mother, we're going right now." This was the first time Tang Laotai had so readily agreed to a request.
Wang Zhaodi and Zhang Man stared at the meat with wide eyes. They had never seen so much meat in their lives. Although it wasn't theirs, they would still get to eat a good amount. Especially since they were going to make lamb soup; with enough water added, they could drink as many bowls as they wanted. They had heard that lamb soup was delicious, and they definitely wanted to have several bowls.
Just as Tang Laotai was about to head to the kitchen with her two daughters-in-law carrying the meat, Tang Laohan couldn't help but call out to her. "Old woman, hold on a moment. Before you deal with that meat, heat up some food for the third son and the others so they can eat something." He suddenly remembered that while they were all excited, the third son and his family hadn't eaten yet.
"Oh dear, I completely forgot! You all wait here; I'll go do it right now." Tang Laotai slapped her thigh.
"Da Bao, go add some more firewood to your uncle's stove," Tang Laohan instructed.
"Okay, I'm on it," Da Bao replied before heading out, pulling along his brother Er Bao.
Now only Tang Laohan, four of them, and Ye Fangfei remained in the room. The children included Xiao Yue Liang and Xiao Tai Yang along with the three sisters Da Ya.
Tang Zhicheng noticed that Ye Fangfei had been sitting on the train for several days and must be tired. He said to Tang Laohan, "Father, I'll take Feifei and the kids to wash up in my room. They've been on the train for days and are all dirty."
"Go ahead; water is boiling on the stove. You all wash up," Tang Laohan replied.
"Wife, go wash up and rest for a bit," Tang Zhicheng said as he picked up their luggage.
Ye Fangfei nodded at Tang Laohan and picked up her son. She also took her daughter by the hand as they followed Tang Zhicheng back to their room.
"Wife, I'll go get some water; let's wash the two kids first and change their clothes," Tang Zhicheng said.
Xiao Yue Liang wore the dress and little leather boots that he had bought earlier.
"Alright, you go ahead; I'll find some clothes," Ye Fangfei nodded.
Ye Fangfei opened their travel bag and took out Xiao Yue Liang's dress. Not only the dress but also a small bag of accessories. She wanted to dress her daughter up beautifully so that no one would dare look down on her little girl again.
As for the son, it didn't matter much. As long as he changed into something clean, that was enough.
The hot water was ready on the stove. Tang Zhicheng brought the hot water in, and Ye Fangfei first washed Xiao Yueying's hair, then her hands and feet.
"Sweetheart, wrap up your hair and wait in the kang," she instructed. "Once I finish washing your brother, I'll fix your hair." Ye Fangfei wrapped Xiao Yueying's hair with a towel.
Little Sun had already grown sleepy, and Ye Fangfei didn't want to fuss over him too much. She simply washed his face and hands, then took off his shoes and socks to wash his feet.
Seeing that Little Sun was utterly exhausted, she decided not to make him wait for dinner any longer and let him sleep right away.
After her son fell asleep, Tang Zhicheng brought in more hot water for Ye Fangfei to freshen up. She also needed to wash her hair; after sitting on a train for several years, it had become quite oily.
Once she finished washing up, she wrapped her hair in a towel and called over her daughter: "Sweetheart, come here. Let Mommy dry your hair."
Xiao Yueying's hair was already half-dry, so Ye Fangfei switched to another towel and continued drying it until it was mostly dry.
Then she styled Xiao Yueying's hair into a bun, pinning it with a circle of small hair clips around the edges. After that, she dressed her daughter in a red dress and black leather boots.
Finally, she put on a knitted hat and wrapped a scarf around her neck before saying, "Alright, go play with your sister now."
Xiao Yueying felt an instant fondness for her cousin whom she had just met. Hearing her mother tell her to go play, she happily ran outside.
