She asked, "Did you hear that?"

"Yeah." Huo Fengyan responded, and said slowly in a clear voice: "The air here is much better than in Kyoto."

If possible, he could move here to live instead of going so far to Kyoto.

Huo Fengyan naturally did not say the following words.

“Woof woof…”

Two loud dog barks interrupted the conversation between the two people.

Xu Qingzhi looked back.

The big yellow dog was standing at the gate, breathing hot air with its mouth open and its tail wagging from side to side.

But it was very well-behaved. No one called it in. It stood on all fours by the gate and didn't come in at all. It just put its little head inside and its two round eyes stared at the kitchen.

Grandpa also went to the back mountain to help. The big yellow dog must have been playing around outside and came over when it smelled the fragrance of the food.

Xu Qingzhi took a disposable bowl, filled it with some water, and placed it by the door.

The big yellow dog rolled up the water with his tongue and drank it. After a few sips, he raised his head and looked at it eagerly, his tail wagging happily like a propeller.

Xu Qingzhi couldn't help but touch its head and pinched the Qingchen Jue for it. The big yellow dog squinted its eyes comfortably and smiled at her.

Dahuang is so well behaved.

She sighed and said softly, "Okay, let your little dog eat early, too."

She went to the kitchen to get some more rice and vegetables, choosing dishes that were not too oily or salty, with more vegetables and less meat.

Normally, dogs don’t like to eat vegetables very much and will pick out the meat to eat first.

This vegetable rich in spiritual energy makes the big yellow dog eat it like crazy, and it can also regulate its stomach.

Wang Yanmei and Xu Fuqiang went to pick vegetables and catch chickens and ducks respectively, and they came back soon.

Wang Yanmei looked at the big yellow dog at the door and said, "Hey, why is it back? It followed your grandpa around this morning and refused to go anywhere."

Xu Qingzhi raised the corner of his mouth: "It must be because the food I cooked is too fragrant, so it smelled it."

"Hey, look how proud you are. Mom will try it at noon today to see if the food cooked by our eldest daughter is delicious." Wang Yanmei said with a smile.

Xu Qingzhi said with certainty: "It must be delicious."

Xu Fuqiang said: "It's obvious that this dog is a protective dog. Dad lives alone, so it's good to have a dog by his side."

Xu Fuqiang had mentioned before that he should let the old man keep a dog to relieve his boredom.

The old man wasn't willing to do that, saying that one more mouth means one more person to feed, but he didn't have extra rice to feed another mouth.

The praised big yellow dog is showing off to his fans.

Xu Qingzhi felt that it had become much stronger after being raised.

Wang Yanmei carried the vegetables in and washed them, and boiled hot water to scald the feathers of the chicken and duck.

Xu Fuqiang paused when he entered the room, leaned towards Xu Qingzhi, and said in a low voice, "By the way, Qingzhi, Dad wants to ask you something."

Xu Qingzhi raised his head and motioned for him to ask.

Xu Fuqiang lowered his voice and looked carefully into the kitchen, "Did Xiao Huo tell you what he thought of Dad?"

Xu Qingzhi shook his head.

He asked again: "So if he leaves this time, does that mean he won't come back?"

Xu Qingzhi: “I don’t know.”

Xu Fuqiang's heart skipped a beat. How could he not know?

Could it be that he told Xiao Huo privately that he would never agree to him and Qingzhi being together, and Xiao Huo gave up?

You know, he was just testing Xiao Huo.

As a father-in-law, he has to be in a difficult position on this matter to see how determined the boy is towards his daughter.

Xu Fuqiang wanted to ask more, but Huo Fengyan had already finished his meal and walked out. Xu Fuqiang had no choice but to swallow the doubts in his stomach, pretending that nothing had happened, and went to kill the chickens and ducks calmly.

Xu Qingzhi turned around and saw Huo Fengyan. Hearing the inexplicable joy in his tone, he asked, "What are you talking to your uncle about?"

Xu Qingzhi complained in his heart that he was asking questions even though he knew the answer. Then he suddenly recalled what his parents said when they talked about Huo Fengyan, so he said with interest: "My dad said that you are weak and fragile. You are not as good as me at hoeing the fields. You can tell at a glance that you are not good enough."

Huo Fengyan's face changed.

He coughed weakly, and his voice lowered slightly: "Well, uncle is right."

Huo Fengyan bent down and suddenly grabbed her hand that was still touching Da Huang. He tilted his head to meet her surprised gaze and said in a tender voice, "Zhizhi, do you want to protect me?"

Xu Qingzhi only felt her palms getting hot and wanted to withdraw her hand, but the other party clearly didn't use any force. She didn't even feel any pain, but she just couldn't pull her hand out.

Xu Qingzhi said coldly: "Let me go."

Huo Fengyan immediately let go of his hand and put his hand to his lips to block out two coughs.

Seeing how weak Xu Qingzhi looked, he wanted to say something that would hurt his heart, but in the end he just recited the Heart Cleansing Mantra a few times in his mind and gave up.
