Chapter 15: Old hen soup can be smelled from Liang Huan's kitchen.

Every family in the brigade had a small fire going in their homes when dusk fell. Old hen soup can be smelled coming from Liang Huan's kitchen.

When stewing the soup, Liang Huan added star anise and Sichuan pepper. To borrow some dried Sichuan pepper leaves, she also went to the Ma family's house across the street. The three-year-old hen has been boiling for three hours, and the aroma is rich and delicious.

During the Spring Festival, people in this era might not be able to eat meat. Simply put, the smell of meat is a strong temptation that causes people to salivate and crave its taste.

Rolling around on the ground while yelling for meat was Tie Dan from the Ji family next door.

"I want meat, I want meat!"

Mother Ji had to endure her grandson's commotion while inhaling the fragrance. Her mood deteriorated worse. She was unable to breathe because it felt as though a large stone was lodged in her chest.

She whipped around and peered at Father Ji "Are we seriously letting them go? They won't even send their parents stew. It's really unfilial."

Father Ji took a seat and lit up a cigarette. He caught her gaze "Okay, don't mess with them again. If you have nothing to do, avoid provoking them. The fourth child is different from before."

Previously, this son would listen to them on anything, but not anymore.

"That unfilial son!" Tie Dan was still rolling on the ground while Mother Ji scolded. Outside, she roared, "What the heck are you doing, Ji Hoxing? Quickly take your son away."

Ji Hongxing was still wailing as he lay on the bed in the second room. When his wife smelled the meat, she felt as though her stomach was completely emptied and that her saliva was about to come out. She couldn't stop picturing the chicken in her mind. She was forced to cover her stomach after hearing Mother Ji yell and hurry to the main room.

Tie Dan continued to scream and act up when the second wife entered the room to take her son away.

As Mother Ji urged her to take her kid away, she had to endure the smell of the meat and her son's noisy voice next to her. She lost her temper and spanked her son "Where can there be meat at home? Eat meat, meat, meat. You can go to your uncle's house to get meat if you want!"

"I won't go there. I want to eat the meat at home." His father is laying on the bed after being beaten by his aunt. To ask for meat, he didn't want to go to his aunt's house.

"There isn't a pot at home, so you can't even eat. What kind of meat can you eat?" His mother replied and kept hitting him.

Mother Ji was furious as she watched this scene "Who allowed you to beat my grandson? Leave immediately."

The second wife is obedient. She let go of her son and left the room after Mother Ji ordered her to leave.

Tie Dan continued to make trouble in the room. Later, Mother Ji managed to coax him, and the howling eventually stopped.

...

Liang Huan cooked a meal. She stewed an old hen tonight and went to the Ma family's house to grind coarse grain powder and various cakes after getting two catties of mixed grains.

The dinner was delicious and big enough for two people to finish it. Liang Huan took a bowl and laid it out first after simmering the chicken soup.

"These past two days, Aunt Ma has helped a lot. I'll go over and bring them a bowl of soup." A big bowl of chicken soup-enough for one person-with less soup and more meat. The Ma family's daughters have all found husbands. Only two of the family's couples have sons. A few pieces of meat are enough for everyone. In this era, it's a huge supper.
