Chapter 960 (Page 1/2)

Huo Qingci walked into the kitchen with beef and lamb legs in his hands, walking briskly. He skillfully placed the ingredients on the chopping board, preparing to cook a sumptuous dinner for his family.

Around six o'clock, Huo Junshan came home from get off work. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the table full of fragrant food, and he couldn't help feeling surprised.

"Xiaoya, who helped prepare the meal tonight?" Huo Junshan asked doubtfully.

"Qingci is back." Xiao Ya replied with a smile.

Before he finished speaking, Huo Qingci came out of the kitchen carrying dishes and chopsticks, "Dad, you're back."

Huo Junshan was very happy to see his eldest son come home to see his wife. Looking at the sumptuous food on the table, he nodded with satisfaction.

"Qingci, you're back. You brought back the mutton and beef, right?

"Well, I got it from the store and gave it to mom to nourish her." Huo Qingci replied with a smile.

"Haha, you're really filial," Huo Junshan praised. "Then sit down and eat! Rourou really likes stir-fried beef with celery."

Hearing her father mention her, Huo Rou smiled happily, "Dad, I like beef but not celery."

"Then give the celery to Dad later."

The four of them sat around the dinner table. Just as they started to eat, a slight sound of footsteps was heard from the door.

Immediately afterwards, Huo Qingyan walked in with his son Huo Yichen. Huo Qingyan was holding two jars in one hand, which seemed to contain malted milk, and in the other hand he was holding a bag of red apples.

His appearance made the originally quiet dinner table suddenly lively.

When Huo Junshan saw his second son, Huo Qingyan, his expression instantly darkened. He frowned and asked unhappily, "Didn't you and your son agree to eat in the military cafeteria? Why are you back again?"

Facing his father's questioning, Huo Qingyan smiled awkwardly and explained, "Dad, I bought two cans of malted milk and some apples for Mom to nourish her well." As he said that, he placed the malted milk and apples on the table.

Seeing this, Xiao Ya quickly interrupted and said, "Qingyan, you haven't eaten yet, right? Go to the kitchen and get some bowls and chopsticks, and eat together."

Huo Qingyan glanced at his eldest brother Huo who was sitting next to his father and took the initiative to greet him: "Brother, you are back."

Huo Qingci just nodded slightly without saying anything. He picked up his bowl and chopsticks and continued to eat silently. It was obvious that he didn't want to communicate with him for the time being.

Huo Qingyan rushed into the kitchen like a gust of wind. His son, Huo Yichen, was sitting on a stool, feeling a little uneasy.

He knew very well that the reason why his grandfather hated his parents so much was entirely because his mother had pushed his grandmother, causing her to break her leg.

As a result, his grandfather no longer liked him and his younger siblings, and asked his father to send his younger siblings to the city.

When he thought about this, Huo Yichen felt helpless and embarrassed. He knew his grandfather's attitude towards his parents, and he also understood that his grandfather didn't want to see them now.

However, Dad seemed completely unaware of this. As soon as he got home from get off work, he hurriedly picked up his things and took him to Grandpa's house to have a meal.

Huo Yichen couldn't help but sigh in his heart. His mother made a mistake, and now he might have to pay for her debt!

After dinner, he should take the initiative to wash the dishes and clean the house, hoping that this would slightly ease his grandfather's dissatisfaction with them.

At this moment, Huo Yichen suddenly remembered his grandmother's leg injury, so he turned his head and asked softly, "Grandma, does your leg still hurt?"

Xiao Ya looked at Huo Yichen with a kind smile on her face, and comforted him, "Chenchen, it's okay. Grandma can still bear this little pain. Look, your father has brought the bowl over. Let's eat quickly!"

As he spoke, Huo Qingyan had already walked to the dining table, handed a set of bowls and chopsticks to Huo Yichen, and said, "Here, eat quickly!"

No one mentioned anything else while eating so as not to affect their appetite.

After dinner, before Huo Qingci had time to clean up, Huo Yichen came over to help and said he would wash the dishes. Seeing his son so diligent, Huo Qingyan smiled and said to Huo Qingci, "Brother, my son has grown up, let him wash the dishes!"

Huo Junshan, who was sitting beside him, glanced at Huo Qingyan and said, "You are really regressing as you grow older. You are worse than a child."

Huo Qingyan smiled awkwardly, "Dad, my son works the same way. Children need more exercise. Even if he marries a lazy woman in the future, he will still have food to eat."

Huo Junshan laughed angrily, "Are you teaching by example? You know you married a lazy woman! But your wife is lazy, and you're not much more diligent."

"Dad, I do most of the housework. I'm not diligent! My cooking is just not as delicious as my eldest brother's. Dad is so partial. He only has eyes for my eldest brother."
