Chapter 108

After Luo Chaoyan got off Huo Jin, Huo An trotted over, covering his mouth with his hands and smiling from time to time. He didn't calm down until Huo Jin glanced at him indifferently.

Huo An stood between the two of them, holding one in each hand, and was as happy as a little bird.

He shook their hands and said hopefully, "Father, Mother, swing on the swing!"

Luo Chaoyan's mouth twitched. With his body, she couldn't pull him, so she refused without hesitation and said, "No, your little hand will easily dislocate if you play this."

Seeing that she didn't agree, Huo An could only turn around and look at his father expectantly.

Huo Jin said calmly, "Listen to your mother."

Huo An curled his lips, looked at Luo Chaoyan, and said with a wronged look on his face: "Mother, do you think I'm too heavy?"

Luo Chaoyan looked at him in surprise and said, "You just found out about this?"

"Mother! You're so bad!" Huo An turned away angrily.

Luo Chaoyan poked his chubby face and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll let you play once."

She looked at Huo Jin and motioned for him to join in the effort.

Huo An smiled brightly upon hearing that. He even deliberately walked a few steps slower, and when the two adults pulled him hard, he lifted his feet as if he was really swinging on a swing.

"hehe!"

“Fun!”

After his feet landed on the ground, he wanted to play again, but Luo Chaoyan let go of his hand early and said, "You can only play once."

"Mom!" Huo An let go of his father's hand and hugged her and acted coquettishly.

Seeing that he was sticking to her, Huo Jin frowned slightly and was about to scold him when she heard Luo Chaoyan say, "If you want to play again, you will have to eat one less chicken drumstick tonight."

Huo An blinked and instantly became obedient. Without a doubt, he chose the chicken drumstick.

Soon they reached the edge of the waterfall on the back mountain.

The waterfall is two meters long and about twenty feet high. The water flows directly into a deep pool. There are some large rocks surrounding it. There is a gap in the middle, and some water flows from the gap and converges into a shallow stream. m.

When Huo An saw the fish in the shallow stream, he thought of the grilled fish his mother had made before. He instantly became excited and said, "Mom, fish!"

How could Luo Chaoyan not know what he was thinking? She waved her hand and said, "Don't grill it!" She didn't bring any ingredients today. How could grilled fish be delicious without any ingredients?

Huo An rolled his eyes and looked at Huo Jin, saying, "Father, mother's grilled fish is delicious!"

Then he turned to his mother and said, "Mom, Dad didn't eat!"

Luo Chaoyan rolled her eyes at him, then looked up and saw Huo Jin looking at her with a slightly gloomy gaze. This...what does this mean? He was not there at that time, and it was not her fault that she didn't get to eat it.

"My dear, how about we catch a few and roast them?"

Without waiting for Huo Jin to answer, Huo An nodded excitedly, clapped his hands and cheered, "Good!"

Huo Jin asked the guards to cut a wooden fork, then he lifted up his robe, took off his shoes and socks, and went to the stream to catch fish.

Luo Chaoyan watched him from the side with a focused face and skillful movements, and couldn't help but smack her lips. She thought that God was too partial to him. Not only did he have good looks, but he could do anything. Fortunately, she is not a man, otherwise she would probably feel inferior.

Watching the fish being thrown onto the shore, Huo An was drooling with envy. He decided that he would eat three today.

If Luo Chaoyan could hear his inner voice, she would probably reply to him: You wish!

After catching the fish, it was almost noon and the sun was quite strong, so they went back home.

When they returned to the farm, Fengli heard Huo An say with a smile that his mother was going to make grilled fish, and she was very happy. The young lady is very lazy and usually doesn't want to do anything.

Seeing this, she hurriedly took the fish to the kitchen, cleaned it up, and completed all the necessary processes.

There was a big pomegranate tree in the courtyard of the manor, where people could enjoy the coolness under the tree, so Luo Chaoyan had someone set up a charcoal stove there.

After everything was ready, Luo Chaoyan started baking.

It was the first time that Huo Jin saw her doing these tasks, and it seemed that she was very skilled.

He sat next to her and said, "Teach me!"

Luo Chaoyan was a little surprised and asked, "You want to learn?" Although he was a nice guy and was willing to do a lot for her, don't scholars all believe that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen?

He asked, "Do you like to eat?"

Luo Chaoyan was stunned for a moment and said, "It's okay."

Huo An, who was standing by, said with a smile, "Father, I like it!"

Huo Jin looked at him and said calmly, "You can't be too obsessed with one thing."

Fengli and Shulan watched their master speaking seriously to Young Master An, and then they thought of what he had just said to the Young Madam, and they immediately shed bitter tears for him.

Huo An blinked, a look of disbelief on his face. He finally understood what it meant when his brother always looked at him with pity. Could it be that his father was partial to his mother?

"Mother, father is bad!" Huo An complained to Luo Chaoyan.

Luo Chaoyan looked at the father and son and found it somewhat amusing.

She was busy with the task at hand and asked Huo Jin to write down her steps before letting him try to do it.

Originally, I thought it would be easy for such a smart guy like him to learn, but after he couldn't tell the difference between pepper powder and cumin powder and burnt several fish, Luo Chaoyan completely pushed him aside.

Huo An covered his mouth and laughed secretly, his little shoulders shrugging.

Fengli and Shulan also turned their faces away and held back their laughter.

Seeing Huo Jin's dark face, Luo Chaoyan pursed her lips, suppressed her smile, and comforted him: "My dear, everyone has their own strengths. It's good that you are both literary and martial."

"Yes, father, you are not stupid!" Huo An also comforted him sincerely.

Phew!

Luo Chaoyan and others almost burst out laughing when they heard this.

…

evening

No one knew what evil thoughts Huo An had. After dinner, he did not return to his room but stayed in Luo Chaoyan's room.

Luo Chaoyan was also a little afraid to face Huo Jin's deep eyes alone, so she didn't chase him away, and asked Pineapple to cut a plate of watermelon and bring it in.

She smiled and said to Huo An, "An An, mother will teach you a game. Only the winner can eat a piece of watermelon."

Huo An readily agreed.

Luo Chaoyan took out the chessboard. He definitely didn't know how to play chess, and she couldn't bully a child, so she thought of modern Gobang. After explaining the rules and how to play to Huo An, the two began to play.

At the beginning, Luo Chaoyan could still win a few rounds. She was overjoyed to see Huo An looking at her with a greedy look on his face while she ate watermelon. But she couldn't laugh for too long, because she didn't know whether the little fat boy was laughing because of his stuttering or because he was too excited, but in the end he beat her every time.

Huo An held up the watermelon and ate it with a satisfied look on his face, boasting: "Mom, it's so sweet!"

Luo Chaoyan gritted her teeth and said, "Let's do it again!" She just didn't believe it. The Huo family's genes were really that good. How could she, an adult, be defeated by a child?

But in the end, she still lost!

Looking at the only piece of watermelon left on the plate, Huo An looked at her with a smile and said, "Mother, thank you for letting me have it!"

As he said this, he was about to reach out to take it.

Huo Jin came over, picked up the plate, frowned and said, "Don't eat too much!"

Huo An snapped his fingers, unconvinced, and said, "Only five small pieces!"

Huo Jin said, "I'll play a round with you. If you lose, you should go back and wash up and rest."

Huo An snorted and said, "I win, I sleep with my mother tonight!"

"Let's talk about it after you beat me!" Huo Jin said calmly.

So the father and son began to play chess.

Huo Jin already knew the rules when they were playing just now, so there was no need for Luo Chaoyan to explain them in detail.

Luo Chaoyan watched the father and son fighting back and forth until she was almost sleepy, then she heard Huo Jin's cold voice, "You lose."

Huo An curled his lips and said, "Okay, I'll go back."

As he said this, he quickly took the piece of watermelon while the two were not paying attention, took a bite, and then ran out with a smile.
