Chapter 260: Fear of Marriage (Page 1/2)

"My parents have a good relationship, and my fourth uncle and aunt have a good relationship too, because my fourth uncle is a henpecked man.

My fifth uncle and fifth aunt are a loving couple. My fifth aunt listens to my fifth uncle in all matters, and my fifth uncle loves her very much.

Sister-in-law, you and Big Brother have a sweet and loving relationship. You are in me and I am in you, loving and affectionate..."

"You little brat, what do you know about affection? Okay, ride your bike faster and I'll go back and make you something delicious."

"Yes, sir!"

It was already 12:45 when he got home. Huo Li was very happy to see Huo Qinghuan.

"Huanhuan, you're here?"

"Grandpa, today is New Year's Day, and the school is closed for half a day."

"Oh, it's a holiday. Then sleep here tonight and go back to school with your sister-in-law tomorrow."

Huo Qinghuan nodded happily, "Grandpa, did my elder brother and cousin go to the Lin family?"

"They left at ten o'clock. Your eldest brother has cooked the meal, and the dishes are waiting for your sister-in-law to come back."

"Grandpa, I can cook too. Let me do it later!"

At this time, Lin Man came in carrying a woven bag and said, "Take out the shoes and gloves I bought for you.

Your eldest brother has cooked the meal, and I will fry the vegetables. You can just help me look after Ningning and Anan, so that grandpa can have a rest."

Huo Qinghuan originally wanted to show off his cooking skills, but since his sister-in-law asked him to help look after the children, he decided to do so!

Lin Man went to the kitchen, lit the fire first, then cleaned the big pot, poured water into it, and covered it with a lid.

Then take a few eggs from the cupboard and crack them into a bowl, beat them with chopsticks, add water, appropriate amount of salt and lard.

It is said that eating lard is bad for the body. In this era, every household eats lard, and some people even eat lard with rice, but they have never suffered from serious illness.

In fact, if you add some lard to the steamed egg custard, the steamed egg custard will be particularly smooth and fragrant.

The boiled eggs were steaming in the pot. Lin Man took out half a piece of bacon from the cupboard to stir-fry with lettuce, and also made some spinach soup and that was it.

As soon as Lin Man brought out the first bowl of food, Huo Qinghuan wiped the table with a rag, set the table on the table, and then quickly ran to the kitchen to get the rice pot.

The food was served, and Lin Man noticed Huo Yining was still eating chocolate balls. She called out, "Ningning, it's time to eat. Don't eat the chocolate yet."

"Mom, this chocolate ball is so delicious. My uncle only gave me two and I'm not full."

"You kid, do you want to eat snacks as meals? You're not full yet, eat first, and I'll give you two more later."

Huo Yining quickly ran to the table. Lin Man took his exclusive enamel bowl, filled it with half a bowl of rice, scooped two spoonfuls of boiled egg, and put two slices of bacon and a few slices of lettuce in his bowl.

"Hold it tight and don't spill it."

"Mom, I want some soup."

"I'll serve you some food in another bowl. You can eat first."

Huo Yining has a good appetite, so Lin Man doesn't need to take care of him when he eats. Huo Yian is still young, so he needs to be fed.

This kid likes to hold food in his mouth for a long time before chewing it, so it takes a long time to feed him.

Usually, Lin Man would eat first. When she was halfway through, she would use a spoon to scoop a spoonful of rice into Xiao Anan's mouth, and then continue eating.

Lin Man looked at her brother-in-law sitting opposite her and said, "Qing Huan, have you tried on the shoes I bought for you? I know you wear a size 40, and because the shoes have hair inside, I specially got you a size 42. Do you think they fit?"

Huo Qinghuan said gratefully, "Thank you, sister-in-law. The length and size of the shoes are perfect. I just tried them on and they are very warm. I plan to wear them during the Chinese New Year."

"It's still early for the New Year, and the weather is cold. You can wear it now, don't wait until the New Year. Your feet will easily get frozen if you sit there in class."

"Sister-in-law, I've had frostbite on my toes for a long time. I'm used to it."

When Huo Li learned that his grandson had frostbite on his feet, he instructed, "Huanhuan, after dinner, take a radish and throw it in the stove to burn. Then take it out and roll it over the frostbite a few times. The frostbite will heal quickly."

Burning frostbite with roasted radish – what kind of folk remedy is this? Isn't there frostbite cream?

Huo Qinghuan immediately became interested. "Grandpa, is this true or false? Burning chilblains with radish will definitely make them numb and itchy."

Lin Man hesitated for a moment and said, "Qinghuan, I have frostbite cream in my room. You can scald your feet with hot water every day and apply the frostbite cream for a few days. The frostbite will heal quickly."

"Then I'd better apply frostbite cream. It would be troublesome if I burn my feet with radish and get blisters."

After Huo Qinghuan said this, he looked at his grandfather cautiously again, as if observing his reaction.

Huo Li smiled faintly. "It would be even better if you have frostbite cream. Huanhuan, your sister-in-law bought you some shoes, so just wear them with peace of mind. When you grow up and make money, buy some for An'an and Ningning."

Hearing his grandfather's words, Huo Qinghuan immediately patted his chest and promised: "Grandpa, don't worry, when I grow up, I will not only buy shoes for my brothers, but also work hard to save money to marry them off!"

Lin Man couldn't help feeling helpless as she watched Huo Qinghuan once again offer to help raise the child.

She shook her head gently and said to Huo Qinghuan with a smile, "Qinghuan, you don't have to worry about saving money to marry my son. You should save more money to marry yourself when you grow up."

However, Huo Qinghuan obviously did not want to give up, he wanted to say something else.

At this moment, Huo Li cleverly changed the subject: "Xiao Man, before Qing Ci left, he said he would be back after dinner and would buy some mutton on the way. We're having hot pot at home tonight."

Huo Qinghuan was so excited when she heard this that she almost jumped up. She shouted excitedly, "Mutton? Grandpa, do you want to eat mutton tonight? That's great! Then I won't go back today. I'll stay here to warm your feet tonight."

Huo Qinghuan's face was filled with an innocent smile, as if she couldn't wait to enjoy the delicious hot pot and spend warm time with her family.

Huo Li smiled. If the kid wanted to stay and eat hotpot, then he could eat hotpot. He also said that he wanted to warm his feet.

My bed is clearly covered with a thick old quilt, a mattress and a blanket, so it is very warm. Why would I need someone to warm my feet?

However, seeing Huo Qinghuan so happy, he couldn't bear to refuse his kindness, so he just smiled and said:

"Your cousin may not be back tonight, so you will sleep in the living room and be the head of the hall tonight."

"Grandpa, when my cousin gets married, I'd like to come to your house every day and be the head of the hall."

Huo Li laughed and scolded: "You kid, you're not beautiful, but you have beautiful dreams!"

Huo Qinghuan asked doubtfully, "Am I ugly?"

"Ningning, do you think my uncle is good-looking?"

Huo Yining put down the spoon, looked at his frowning uncle, and said slowly: "Uncle, you used to be very handsome, but now you have red pimples on your face and you are ugly. You are not as good-looking as me and my brother. You need to eat more eggs, and your face will become as good-looking as ours."

"Well, Ningning is right, please stop talking."
