Chapter 121 – Wanting to pee (4)
However, Li Man discovered that she felt full enough after eating one bowl of dough drop soup. She wasn’t used to eating too much at night. And so, she scooped out the remaining soup into a large bowl and brought it over to the eastern hut. Putting it down on a small table, she said, “There’s one more bowl of soup left. You guys should divide it amongst yourselves. The dough in the soup will get too soggy if you leave to tomorrow to eat, and it won’t taste good.”
Little Five rubbed his stomach. He already felt way too full after having two bowls of soup.
The amount of food that Li Hua could eat wasn’t a lot. He wasn’t hungry either after eating two bowls of dough drop soup.
Li Yan was sick, so he didn’t have much of an appetite. He had only eating one bowl of soup and gave his second bowl to Li Shu.
Li Shu usually had a pretty good appetite, but after eating three bowls of soup, he balked at eating the large bowl of soup on the small table. “I’m full.”
“You’re all full?” Seeing that the large bowl of soup was going to become unappetizing soggy leftovers, Li Man felt distressed.
Li Mo looked at her and asked, “You only had one bowl of soup?”
“En, I ate a lot during lunch, so I wasn’t hungry at dinnertime, “Li Man said as she was about to pick up the bowl of soup and bring it back.
But, Li Mo stopped her. “I was worried there wouldn’t be enough. Since you’re all full, I’ll eat all of this then.”
“Ah?” His brothers all looked at him.
Li Shu cried out, “Oldest brother, didn’t you say before that you were full? I’m feeling too full now because you didn’t want to eat any from second brother’s second bowl.”
Li Mo didn’t answer him. Sitting on the side of the bed, he picked up the bowl and started to eat. He looked like he was enjoying the food so much that it really didn’t seem as if he was already full.
The corners of Li Yan’s eyes were twitching as he watched Li Mo, “Oldest brother, is it that tasty? Don’t eat to the point of getting a stomachache.”
Li Mo didn’t say anything. He kept his head lowered as he ate with gusto. He really hadn’t eaten enough to be full. It was because he had seen there wasn’t much left in the pot before, and he wanted to leave behind more food for her. Third brother usually had a big appetite, so he had turned down second brother’s remaining share to his third brother. He just hadn’t expected that wife would eat so little. She had gotten full from eating only a small bowl of soup.
Moreover, he knew that wife would feel distressed if such a large bowl of soup went to waste.
Seeing how happily he was eating, the corners of Li Man’s lips slightly curved up. She liked to cook, and she liked it when people enjoyed her cooking. The more happily they ate her food, the more accomplished she felt.
Seeing the smile in Li Man’s eyes as she watched his oldest brother, Li Shu couldn’t help feeling a bit jealous. Oldest brother, how about leaving some for me to eat? I feel a bit a hungry too now.”
“Third brother, don’t be so immature.” Li Yan irritably looked at in Li Shu in askance.
Li Shu rubbed his stomach. His face wasn’t twitchy or red as he lied, “I really do feel a bit hungry.”
“Alright, third brother, even if you feel hungry, you’ll have to wait until tomorrow morning.” In a few bites, Li Mo finished the last piece of dough drop in the bowl.
Li Man clapped her hands. “Great.” She stood up to take the bowl back.
“I’ll do it.” Li Mo had already picked up the bowl and was one step before her in heading to the kitchen.
Li Man hurriedly followed after him. When she got to the kitchen, Li Mo was already scooping water into the pot. She said, “I can wash the pot and bowls myself.
She had washed the dishes with Little Five as well as Li Hua. That had seemed normal enough. But, Li Mo was a grown man. She felt it was a bit strange to see him by the stove.
“I’ll be done soon.” Li Mo had finished adding water to the pot. He put the bowls and chopsticks into the pot, then he started washing them one by one with a dishcloth.
