Chapter 365 Using form to supplement form
On the day Howard left, everyone went to see him off. His hair was cut short, and he had lost some weight, but he looked very energetic.
He said, "You don't need to worry about me. I've figured it out. Everything's fine now. I'll live a good life when I get back."
The little dog next to me, werwerwer.
Howard's expression changed, but he still picked up the puppy: "I will raise it well."
He had already made up his mind that he had to get rid of the dog; he would absolutely not die before the dog died.
Shen Zhixia said happily, "Isn't it cute? I knew you would like this dog."
The puppy is indeed very good-looking; it's one of the most beautiful dogs out there.
Howard said gently, "Yes, I like it very much."
So he left with the puppy.
After Howard left, his mother was a little down, but she quickly recovered. Anyway, Howard seemed to be doing well, so she wasn't too worried about him.
Mrs. Huo said, "I've already asked someone to introduce him to someone; he has to find someone he's satisfied with."
Shen Zhixia: "..."
It seems that even after Howard returns, he will still have to go through the ordeal of blind dates. She has discovered that people of Howard's mother's generation are obsessed with marriage. In Howard's mother's eyes, if Howard is not married, then he is unhappy.
In the evening, Mrs. Huo bought a large piece of pig's head meat and picked some green peppers from the yard. The vegetables planted in the yard are growing very well now. The scallions and chives only need to be picked a little bit, and they will grow very well again after a while.
Shen Zhixia doesn't really like eating fatty meat because it's very greasy, and she can't eat much of it. So, Huo's mother rarely cooks fatty meat. However, people these days really like to eat fatty meat, and it's very expensive. Everyone likes to eat things that are oily.
During dinner, Huo Chenzhou was also somewhat surprised: "Mom, why did you stir-fry such fatty meat?"
They rarely eat pork head; they usually eat mostly lean meat. Even when they eat twice-cooked pork, it's usually lean. But this time, the meat was a bit too fatty.
Mrs. Huo said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's just this once. It's mainly to help you recover."
Huo Chenzhou was even more puzzled: "I'm in good health, why would you give me supplements?"
Mother Huo said, "Your face must have suffered a lot the other day, so I cut some pig's head meat for you to help it up. I hope this kind of thing won't happen again in the future."
"This is called using form to supplement form."
Huo Chenzhou was speechless for a moment: "Mom, what are you talking about? My face isn't injured, it's just that the twins drew on it, and the drawing on my face has been washed off now."
Shen Zhixia smiled with her eyes crinkling. When she first met Huo's mother, she thought she was a serious and earnest old lady, but after spending more time with her, she discovered that Huo's mother had some silly genes.
Huo Chenzhou continued, "Besides, how many times have I told you that the idea of using the shape to supplement the shape is a lie. How can you believe in such superstition?"
Mother Huo said, "I don't believe it; I'm just hoping for good luck."
Huo Chenzhou: "..."
He couldn't argue with Huo's mother anyway, so he could only lower his head and eat the meat in big mouthfuls. The fatty meat was quite delicious and very fragrant.
Since Shen Zhixia doesn't like fatty meat, he helps her pick out some lean meat.
However, this was the only time that Huo's mother made such a lucrative move.
Life went on uneventfully like that.
A few days later, Huo's mother received a letter from the village chief's wife.
She had a good relationship with the village chief's wife, and she had specifically asked her to help Huo Hua find a good marriage partner, which the village chief's wife agreed to.
Things have made progress. Mrs. Huo said happily, "Didn't I ask someone to introduce Huo Hua to a potential partner? Now it's almost done."
Shen Zhixia asked in surprise, "So fast? Has Brother already started dating someone again? That's too fast. I thought he would take a while."
Mother Huo said, "He did want to delay for a while, but I wouldn't let him. He's already so old. If he drags it out, he'll become an old bachelor. I can't let him become a bachelor, so I had the village chief forcibly introduce him to a girl. This girl is from the next village. She's also divorced and doesn't have any children. I heard she's a down-to-earth person. I hope it will work out."
Shen Zhixia said, "He just went through a heartbreak last time, so I don't think he'll step into another relationship so quickly. It might take some getting used to."
Huo's mother nodded: "Yes, Huo Hua is just too serious. If you leave him alone, he will never take the initiative to enter into another relationship. That's why I have to forcefully intervene. Anyway, I heard from the village chief's wife that the girl is nice. Let them date for a while. It would be best if they could get a marriage certificate as soon as possible, and then get married and have children. As long as his life is stable, then I will be at ease."
Shen Zhixia nodded: "Then I hope he has a happy marriage."
She could understand Huo's mother's anxiety. In this day and age, getting married and having children is a big deal. If you're not married in the countryside, people will gossip about you.
In later generations, people are much more open-minded, so who cares whether you're married or not?
Shen Zhixia asked, "Why did that girl get divorced before?"
Huo's mother said, "I heard that her ex-husband was an alcoholic and gambler, and the family owed a lot of debt. They even wanted to use her to pay off the debt. She couldn't stand it, so she got a divorce. She's a person with a hard life. I heard that she is very hardworking and keeps the house in good order. I hope she can take good care of Huo Hua."
Shen Zhixia nodded, understanding why Huo's mother was so happy. This kind of girl was indeed what Huo's mother liked. However, Huo Hua himself was also a person who liked to take care of others, and she wondered if the two could spark a romance.
Mrs. Huo remained calm at this moment: "In short, I won't force it now. Everything depends on fate. If they can get together, I will definitely be very satisfied. But if they can't, it doesn't matter. I will just have someone introduce them to someone else. There's no rush."
Shen Zhixia felt that she seemed quite anxious, but it was all for Huo Hua's good.
On the other side.
Howard was initially reluctant to go on blind dates. After two failed relationships, he was no longer too concerned about marriage.
Whether or not you get married is not important.
Even if the villagers gossip about him, he doesn't care. After all, everyone keeps to themselves and lives their own lives behind closed doors. It's not like everyone can point fingers at him and talk about him.
Marriage is meant to bring happiness; if a marriage is a mistake, it's better not to have one in the first place.
However, the village chief and his wife brought a girl directly to his house. The village chief's wife even said, "This is what your mother ordered. You still have to meet her. And now that the girl is here, you can't just send her away. That would be too disrespectful to the girl."
Howard felt helpless, so he had no choice but to have dinner with them.
The girl's name was Chun Ya. She seemed very shy. Although she had been married, she looked very young. She kept her head down the whole time and didn't say a word.
Howard didn't even glance at him. While he was eating, the dog came over, and he tossed it a chicken leg from the table. The dog immediately and happily grabbed the chicken leg and ran away.
The village chief and his wife were the only ones talking the whole time. When they saw this scene, they were shocked and opened their eyes wide.
The village chief sighed, "Howard, that was a chicken leg! You just gave it a chicken leg? It's just a dog. Why would a dog eat so well? You should just feed it some leftovers."
Howard said, "If that's the case, it will cause trouble."
The village chief still found it unbelievable, but Howard didn't explain much. This dog was really noisy, and he just wanted to get rid of it with a chicken leg.
He's gotten used to the dog's eccentricities anyway, but no one else will know.
