When Lin Ruanruan and Huo Qi finished tidying up and came out, they ran into Grandpa Lin coming from the chicken coop.

Grandpa Lin, with a pipe dangling from his mouth and a large rooster in his hand, smiled broadly when he saw the two of them. "We're having firewood-cooked chicken for lunch today!"

"Wow, it's been so long since I've had firewood chicken! The potatoes and steamed buns inside are so delicious!" Lin Ruanruan looked at the plump and strong rooster and her mouth watered.

Huo Qi laughed and said, "Free-range chickens raised in the mountains are definitely chewy and delicious."

Lin Ruanruan wholeheartedly agreed, "It's really delicious, Brother Huo, you must eat more later."

As she spoke, she looked around at the empty pigsty entrance, "Where did Brother Fang Si go?"

Fang Si emerged from behind a sycamore tree like a wandering soul. "You've finally come out."

He was freezing cold just now. The spot he was sitting in inexplicably became an air vent. He was about to go down the mountain when his subordinate called him again, so he had to hide behind a tree to answer the phone.

Huo Qi couldn't help but laugh out loud at Fang Si's mischievous appearance. "So this is what you call the young master of the Fang family?"

Fang Si looked at Huo Qi's gloating expression with a dark face, snorted, and cut between Huo Qi and Lin Ruanruan as they went down the mountain.

Lin Ruanruan glanced at Fang Si with a puzzled look. Huo Qi rolled his eyes at Fang Si, thinking, "You just want to separate him from Ruanruan? You're too naive."

"Aruan and I just rinsed off pig manure, so we might smell."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Si froze and quickly stepped forward, his hands and feet moving in sync.

Lin Ruanruan sniffed herself. "I was wearing protective clothing, so I shouldn't be like this, right?"

Huo Qi couldn't help but chuckle at her appearance. He led Lin Ruanruan through the snow and said, "Be careful walking, the road is slippery here."

Feeling the warmth of the hand holding hers, Lin Ruanruan couldn't help but blush. She pulled the scarf around her neck up a little and obediently let herself be led down the mountain.

As soon as he entered the house, Fang Si went back to his guest room and took a long, refreshing shower. Only after he finished drying his hair did he feel like he had come back to life.

After going down the stairs, Fang Si heard Huo Qi and Ruan Ruan talking in the backyard. Curious, he went over to see what the two were doing.

At this moment, Huo Qi and Lin Ruanruan had their backs to Fang Si, and there seemed to be a large basin steaming in front of them.

"What are you two doing?" Fang Si peeked over to see what the two were doing.

Lin Ruanruan turned her head and saw that it was Fang Sige. She said happily, "I'm plucking feathers with Brother Huo!"

"Plucking hair?" Plucking what hair? Fang Si had already walked up to them. After seeing what the two were doing, his throat tightened, and he quickly covered his mouth. He almost vomited again.

"What kind of hair did you two pluck? Can you please stop being so disgusting..."

Huo Qi looked at the headless chicken's mottled feathers and the wet feathers scattered on the ground beside it: ...

It looks a bit disgusting.

Everyone has a first time...

Lin Ruanruan praised him mindlessly from the side, "Brother Huo, you are amazing. You killed the chicken so skillfully just now."

Although I accidentally chopped off the chicken's head completely, causing the headless chicken to run around the yard, the end result was good...

Fang Si covered her mouth and closed her eyes to avoid looking at the filthy scene before her, then turned and went inside. Ruan Ruan and Huo Qi had really gone too far.

Meanwhile, Huo Qi, with Lin Ruanruan's help, cleaned up the chicken. "Ruanruan, I didn't realize you were so capable."

Lin Ruanruan smiled shyly, revealing her cute little tiger teeth, "I've helped Grandpa and Grandma with a little bit of help before."

The girl's skin looked even more delicate under the snow's glow, her skin as smooth and translucent as ice, like solidified cream.

Lin Ruanruan, who was looking down in embarrassment, did not notice that Huo Qi's eyes suddenly became deep and unfathomable.

When she looked up, Huo Qi had already looked away. He was carrying a white chicken in his hand. "Let's go, we'll give it to Grandma."

"Uh-huh."

When the two entered the house one after the other, they found that Fang Si, who should have been resting, was busy in the kitchen with Grandma Lin.

Huo Qi leaned against the kitchen doorway and looked at Fang Si, who was wearing an apron. He handed Fang Si a plucked chicken, saying, "I didn't realize our CEO Fang was such a good homemaker."

Fang Si snorted and took the chicken from Huo Qi's hand. He looked at it critically and breathed a sigh of relief. "Luckily, it was pulled out fairly cleanly."

Otherwise, he might have just thrown the chicken into the trash can today.

After inspecting the chicken, Fang Si finally answered Huo Qi's teasing, "It's much better than someone's cooking skills, which are so bad that they burn the pot while making porridge."

Huo Qi's face darkened.

Standing next to him, Lin Ruanruan tried hard not to laugh out loud. She only found out after breakfast that Brother Huo was a kitchen killer.

"Brother Huo is alright, he finally managed to make it. The porridge this morning was so delicious."

Fang Si glanced helplessly at Lin Ruanruan, "Just spoil him then!"

Huo Qi couldn't help but smile, "My Ah Ruan is happy to praise me."

Grandma Lin was preparing ingredients with a smile on her face. This year, their family was especially lively during the Spring Festival.
