Chapter 874 (Page 1/2)

In the afternoon, the person delivering the old tofu arrived as scheduled.

In the past, Lin Man did all these tasks by herself, but today, with her eldest son and the nanny helping her, she didn't even need to do it herself.

Huo Yining was seen actively cooperating with the nanny, and together they cut the jade-white tofu into even-sized pieces.

Next, they put the cut tofu cubes in a winnowing basket and let them dry for a while to remove excess moisture.

After waiting for a while, Huo Yining carefully picked up each piece of tofu, gently coated it with a layer of yeast, and then carefully covered each large winnowing basket with soft straw.

He handled the entire process carefully and meticulously, without any negligence, as if he were treating an invaluable work of art.

Huo Yining was busy dealing with the tofu with the nanny, while Lin Man took the other children to clean the yard. After cleaning, they took a ladder to hang a row of red lanterns in the corridor.

Xu Xiaomin finally finished the complicated work in her hands. She straightened up, slowly raised her head, and her eyes fell on the brand new yard in front of her.

After careful care, the originally messy yard has now become neat and tidy, with a fresh and pleasant atmosphere everywhere.

Xu Xiaomin couldn't help but sigh in her heart: These city people really know how to live, they are so particular!

Just celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival is much more lively than the Chinese New Year in our countryside!

Just as she was immersed in her own thoughts, she suddenly heard a sound of light footsteps coming from afar.

She looked in the direction of the voice and saw Lin Man walking towards her with a smile.

Lin Man was seen carrying two bulging bags in her hands, one filled with fruits and the other filled with fragrant mooncakes. They looked heavy and substantial.

Walking up to her, Lin Man gently placed the things on the ground, then said to Xu Xiaomin with a smile on her face, "Sister Xu, there's nothing else to do at home right now.

Tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival. You can go home early and spend time with your family and celebrate the festival happily together.

Xu Xiaomin was so surprised that she was speechless for a moment. After a long while, she came to her senses and pointed at the things on the ground and asked, "Comrade Lin, what are you doing...?"

Lin Man quickly explained: "These are just our little tokens of appreciation.

It's Mid-Autumn Festival, so I'm giving you a day off. Take these fruits and mooncakes home and spend the Mid-Autumn Festival happily with your family!"

Old Master Huo had told her a long time ago that he would give her a day off for the Mid-Autumn Festival. She had originally planned to spend the day in the city with her husband, but the hostess gave her so many fruits and mooncakes that she decided to go home with her husband tonight.

It's only four o'clock now. Her husband gets off work at five, and the last bus leaves at six, so they should be able to make it.

"Thank you. The work is done. Can I pack my clothes and go home now?"

"Go!"

After Xu Xiaomin left happily, Huo Yining washed his hands slowly, then walked briskly to Lin Man's side.

He stretched out his arm, gently put his arm around his mother's shoulders, and said expectantly, "Mom, do you think we can have barbecue tonight? I haven't had such delicious barbecue in a long time!"

After hearing her son's request, Lin Man raised her eyebrows slightly, turned her head to look at the tall and handsome son beside her, and replied with a smile:

"Originally, I was thinking that since you finally came home today, I was going to make you some delicious fried chicken. You know, the last time you were not home, I already made fried chicken for your brother and sister."

When Huo Yining heard this, his eyes lit up instantly, his throat swallowed unconsciously, and he responded impatiently:

"Wow, it's fried chicken! Mom, you actually made fried chicken at home without telling me. But it doesn't matter. Hehe, how about this, how about we arrange fried chicken and barbecue together tonight?"

Lin Man squinted her eyes at her greedy and gluttonous son and shook her head, muttering to herself, "What a glutton! How can he eat so much? No wonder he's so tall and big."

After a moment's thought, she said, "We haven't had time to prepare the ingredients for the barbecue yet. Let's go to the yard to barbecue together tomorrow night when our family enjoys the moon.

As for tonight, let's have fried chicken first. There are two chickens tied up in the kitchen. Go boil some water and kill them. I'll pluck and clean them up."

"Yes, sir! Salute to my great mother!" Huo Yining saluted Lin Man mischievously.
