Huo Tingzhou actually knew that Jiang Si had never cooked and didn't like doing housework.

He has been in the Jiang family for more than ten years, and his primary task every day is to follow her and protect her closely.

It can be said that he knew Jiang Si's every preference and living habit by heart.

Huo Tingzhou didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

She had never cooked in the first twenty-one years of her life, so there was no reason for her to change that after arriving in Qiongzhou Island.

Moreover, this place is different from Shanghai, and the family compound does not have the conditions to supply gas yet.

The kitchen at home is small and the coal stove produces a lot of smoke.

If she went with him, Huo Tingzhou would have to distract himself to look at her from time to time, so he simply refused.

“There aren’t many dishes, and they’re quick to make.”

This time, besides the two of them, the only people who stayed for the housewarming reception were Captain Xiao and his family of four, Deputy Captain Lei and his wife, and He Ping, a total of seven adults and two children.

The dishes had been discussed early in the morning, but the brothers Weidong and Weimin just sent over a grouper.

You can't keep the fish in this weather.

Huo Tingzhou thought about it and decided not to make the sour radish and old duck soup, but to cook one fish in three ways.

Steam half of the fish and make fish ball soup with the other half.

Fry the remaining pork part directly.

Let’s make some Yimeng fried chicken, which is my third uncle’s specialty and also Jiang Si’s favorite.

Make scrambled eggs with tomatoes for the two children, and finally have a plate of fried peanuts.

It was too late to steam buns at this time, so the staple food was just some cooked rice. This was mainly because we had stayed in Qiongzhou Island for a long time, and everyone in the army was used to eating rice.

Seeing that he had arranged things in an orderly manner, Jiang Si did not bother to be polite with him.

"Then you go cook, and I'll clean up the house."

Apart from anything else, at least the bed you sleep on at night has to be tidied up.

Fortunately, her third uncle sent her enough quilts, but it was a pity to lose those sets of silk bedding.

There is no way to take this out and use it, so she can only put it in the space for her to use alone.

It was easy to make the bed, but she had so many clothes.

Jiang Si herself has a little obsessive-compulsive disorder. When she organizes her clothes, she likes to classify them according to spring, summer, autumn and winter.

The colors must be in order from dark to light.

So it would take at least one or two hours just to organize all her clothes.

Looking at her busy back, Huo Tingzhou's heart instantly filled with joy.

When he had almost calmed down, he went to Captain Xiao's house next door.

"Hey, why are you here?" Xiao Zhengjun looked confused.

Huo Tingzhou was in a hurry to go back and cook, so he just replied briefly with a few words.

"Can I borrow your coal stove?"

It took a lot of effort for him to prepare those dishes, and with only a coal stove at home, he couldn't have dinner before 10 o'clock in the evening.

"Okay, I'll take it for you."

"By the way, do you want me to..."

Xiao Zhengjun had just finished speaking when Hu Meili suddenly called out to him, "Old Xiao! Come here."

"What's the matter?"

"Your son can't solve a problem. Come over here and explain it to him."

After hearing this, the two brothers in the room suddenly had question marks in their eyes.

They are writing a self-criticism, so where does the question come from?

After a while, Xiao Zhengjun pushed the door open.

"Which question do you two not know?"

“…”

The two brothers pursed their lips and looked at their mother, "Mom, which question do we not know?"

Hu Meili gave the two brothers a cold look and knocked on the desk with her hand.

"Look at the way you two wrote this word, it's like a ghost's scribble. A chicken's claws can easily make it look better than what you wrote. Erase it now!"
