As he thought about it, he stretched out his finger and flicked it towards Xu Ying's forehead.
Xu Ying covered her head in pain: "Huo Chen, what are you doing?"
Huo Chen realized what he had done and apologized with a poor look on his face: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
Xu Ying glared at him without saying anything, then turned into the kitchen, rolled up her sleeves and started working.
She was not polite to Huo Chen at all: "Come here, cut this hare into small pieces for me."
Huo Chen knew he was in the wrong, so he rushed in and cut up a four or five jin rabbit in no time. Then he looked at Xu Ying and asked, "Is there anything else I can help you with?"
"Light a fire for me." Xu Ying ordered.
When Huo Chen heard this, he quickly took a match and lit the stove.
Xu Ying put the pot on the fire. As the hot oil started to burn, she put the seasonings into the pot, and then the rabbit meat. The air was filled with the pungent smell of chili peppers.
"A-choo, a-choo, a-choo." Huo Chen sneezed several times because of the choking. He turned his head to look at Xu Ying who seemed fine, his eyes full of admiration: "You don't have choking?"
Xu Ying smiled proudly: "Don't forget what I do."
Huo Chen didn’t understand. Even if he was a chef, he shouldn’t be afraid of being choked.
Xu Ying was overjoyed. The system was indeed useful. It directly turned on the barrier mode for her, so she couldn't smell the slightest smell of pepper at all.
But Huo Chen sneezed one after another, and soon his healthy wheat-colored complexion turned red.
Xu Ying felt very relieved.
As the strong fragrance spread in the air, Grandma Huo woke up from the bed and walked out following the aroma: "Huo Chen, what delicious food did you make? Why does it smell so good?
This old woman is so greedy that she can't sleep!"
Huo Chen pursed his lips, not wanting to talk when he saw how useless his grandmother was.
"Oh, isn't this the captain's daughter? Why did she come to our house?" Grandma Huo asked curiously.
Xu Ying looked at Grandma Huo with her bright eyes: "Grandma Huo is awake, are you okay?"
Grandma Huo smiled cheerfully: "What's the big deal? It's just a minor cold. It will pass in a while. But this kid insisted on taking me to see a doctor.
Isn't this just complaining about spending money! Oh, this kid is so filial!" Grandma Huo said, looking at her grandson with a face full of pride.
When she first picked up Huo Chen, everyone laughed at her for giving up their son and raising a wolf cub.
Everyone says that wolves are cold-blooded, emotionless beasts. Huo Chen grew up with Lao Hui, so he must be an ungrateful person.
But now Grandma Huo just thinks she has good vision.
This kid is much more filial than his other sons.
Xu Ying could see that she was showing off, but Huo Chen was indeed a filial child, so she praised him, "Isn't it? Who in our village is willing to spend money on medical treatment?
You have to endure it all, Huo Chen just feels sorry for you."
Grandma Huo liked to hear her grandson praised. She couldn't close her mouth and looked at Xu Ying with a smile on her lips: "Xu's daughter, why did you come to my house?"
"Huo Chen saved me before. I saw that you were sick today. You definitely don't have time to cook dinner so late, so I came to help make dinner."
Grandma Huo nodded. Her hair was white but her mind was young. She looked at the curved corners of her grandson's mouth under the flames, and her heart suddenly became clear as a mirror.
"The meal is ready, let's eat." Xu Ying shouted and served the dishes.
Huo Chen reached out to serve the dishes, and Xu Ying happened to stretch out her hand as well. Their fingertips touched, and they both withdrew their hands in an instant.
Xu Ying was embarrassed for a moment, then quickly said, "Then you carry it."
As if she couldn't see anything, Grandma Huo smiled as she smelled the rabbit meat her grandson brought over: "It smells spicy enough. I like it just by smelling it."
"Grandma Huo, you can't eat that. You're in good health, so have some chicken soup to replenish your body." Xu Ying said.
Originally, she wanted to make 鴻鴻鴻, but when she remembered that Grandma Huo had just caught a cold, she changed it to chicken soup.
Grandma Huo was unhappy when she heard this. She cried out, "It's okay, it's okay. Grandma is in good health. It's okay to eat a little."
As she spoke, she reached for the rabbit meat, but was caught by Huo Chen's hand: "Grandma, just drink the chicken soup."
"No, that won't do. It smells delicious to me. Besides, I don't know if I'll have the chance to eat it next time." Grandma Huo was unhappy.
Huo Chen and the other person were in a stalemate. Xu Ying looked at Grandma Huo's temper and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Grandma Huo, I'll come and make it for you next time. There's no need to rush this time."
Grandma Huo then obeyed, filled a bowl of chicken soup and took a sip, squinting her eyes and praising: "Yingying's cooking skills are really good. I can't believe I can drink such delicious chicken soup in my life.
These outsiders are really good at talking nonsense. I see that Yingying is such a hardworking girl, and cooking is OK, but outsiders are still talking nonsense, saying that you are lazy and can't do anything."
Xu Ying felt extremely guilty when she heard this, as she was indeed like that in the past.
But she couldn't bring herself to do bad things, so she continued, "Isn't it? Those people just love to talk nonsense. Although my parents spoil me a little, I also cook at home."
"Isn't it? Those people said that our Huo Chen was not good, but I think Huo Chen is a good boy."
Xu Ying nodded: "I also think Huo Chen is good, filial and capable, not as terrible as everyone says."
"Alas, it's all my fault, otherwise Huo Chen wouldn't be scolded."
Xu Ying quickly waved her hand: "Grandma Huo, I think Huo Chen did the right thing."
Huo Chen paused while eating the food, and listened to Xu Ying continue talking in surprise.
"If it were me, I would do the same as Huo Chen, but those people just don't have the ability. Who would watch their important people being bullied? If there really is, it's either because that person is too cowardly or because he thinks it's not important."
Huo Chen's eyes sparkled. Apart from his grandmother, he was the first person who thought that what he did was right.
He didn't think that was wrong, so he continued to do as he pleased. If he were to be a good person, he would have to watch his family being bullied, so he would rather be a bad person.
"Thank you, Xu Ying." Huo Chen said and started eating the meat in big mouthfuls.
Before Xu Ying could react and figure out why she had to thank herself, the system's voice rang out, "Congratulations to the host, Favorability +10, +10."
When Xu Ying heard this, she almost jumped up with joy: "Why would you add so much?"
If she had known earlier, she would have cooked a few more dishes, so that she could have earned more favor points.
[Not sure, the system level is too low, and the reason cannot be found. ]
waste!
Xu Ying cursed.
The screen of a certain system distorted and then disappeared.
Xu Ying looked at Huo Chen as if she saw a great treasure, staring at him intently.
Huo Chen felt embarrassed being stared at. He didn't know how to hold the chopsticks in his hand. He picked up a piece of rabbit meat and dropped it on the table with a plop.
Xu Ying smiled flatteringly and picked up a piece of rabbit meat and gave it to Huo Chen: "Oh, why are you so careless? Eat slowly. I'll make it for you next time."
With a "boom" moment, Huo Chen's extinguished heart instantly ignited again.
