Huo Jinyan found that he really had no way to deal with this little girl. Even if she was being unreasonable, he couldn't do anything to her.
Forget it, I just took the thing from her hand willingly and carried it obediently.
But he still had to talk about coming home late. After a pause, he said, "Next time, don't wait until dark to come back. It's not safe."
I'm not lying, it's really not safe.
"Alright, alright, got it. Next time I'll remember Captain Huo's teachings and never come home late. Let's go, I'm tired and want to rest."
Jiang Mengning directly took his hand and put all the weight of her body on him, as if she had no bones.
In the eyes of others, the two of them are extremely close.
Nian Nian followed beside him, covering her mouth and laughing.
Mom is so good at acting like a spoiled child now, and Dad is completely under her control.
"Jiang Mengning, walk carefully."
Huo Jinyan looked around, really afraid of being seen by his colleagues in the army.
"Oh, my legs are sore. Can't I lean on you for a bit? You're so stingy."
Jiang Mengning didn't give him the chance to talk and continued to do as she pleased.
He really had no choice but to bite the bullet and go back to the military area.
But he still pushed the person away when entering the military zone gate.
There are regulations in the army that prohibit intimate actions in public places. If you are discovered, you will be punished.
The two of them walked one after the other, which aroused endless speculation from others.
"Look, the two of them must have had another conflict. Captain Huo's face is dark again."
"See? He's carrying so many goodies in his hands. They were all bought by Jiang Mengning. Both of his hands are full. It must have cost him a lot of money! This Jiang Mengning is such a spendthrift. She can't just squander money just because Captain Huo has a high salary! Captain Huo has a family to support back home in the countryside. This woman is so ungrateful. She's not virtuous at all and is totally unworthy of Captain Huo.
"Really? Niu Lili is the best fit for Captain Huo. Niu Lili is so virtuous! People who wear their pants out like patches and puddings, and who spend every penny wisely, are the ones who are suitable for life."
“…”
The sound of discussion did not reach Jiang Mengning's ears, and Huo Jinyan naturally did not hear it either.
The two men walked from the military area to the gate of the family compound, and before they even walked in, they heard the sound of quarreling.
"Huo Haowen, why are you still wearing such tattered clothes? Didn't your stepmother buy new clothes for your sister? Why didn't she buy any for you? Does your stepmother dislike you? Does she think you're ugly and doesn't want to spend money on you?"
"Look at the sandals on your feet. The heels are broken. If you keep wearing them, your feet will be rubbed raw. It seems that your stepmother just doesn't like you. You're so ugly, no one loves you and no one wants you. Hahaha..."
Huo Haowen was holding a lunch box in his hand, his fists clenched so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh.
He glared fiercely at Mantou, who was about the same age as him. He had long been fed up with this man who always opposed him in the compound.
"Shut the fuck up! If you say another word, I'll beat you to death."
He was so angry. Could this person please get away from him? It was so hateful.
He doesn't care who his stepmother likes or dislikes, or whether she buys him things or not. He doesn't care. Why bother talking about these things! He doesn't like to hear them.
"Lululu, hit me if you dare. Beat me to death. I'm not afraid of you."
Mantou was fearless and continued to provoke Huo Haowen.
Huo Haowen put down the lunch box in his hand and prepared to rush over.
"Haowen."
Huo Jinyan walked over from a distance.
When Mantou saw the adults coming, he was so scared that he ran away.
Jiang Mengning was about to teach him a lesson, but he ran away.
"Hey you bastard, if you have the guts, don't run away. I'll give you a spanking. You're so young, but you're acting like a gossip."
She put her hands on her hips, very angry.
Huo Haowen was very embarrassed. What he just said must have been heard by his father and stepmother.
Too embarrassed to see anyone.
He picked up his lunch box, turned around and ran.
Jiang Mengning: "...Why are you running again?"
When I got home, Huo Haowen was already setting the table in the kitchen.
The kitchen was finished after two days of renovation.
They finally didn't have to eat outdoors anymore.
The dishes in the cafeteria today are mapo tofu, fried cabbage and fried vermicelli.
All vegetarian dishes, no meat.
In the past, Jiang Mengning would definitely complain about the bad food, but not today. She had earned money and bought a lot of delicious food.
"Wait, wait, I packed a few dishes from the state-owned restaurant."
She took out the dishes one by one.
"This is sweet and sour spare ribs, all made with top-quality spare ribs. This is spicy diced chicken, it's incredibly delicious."
"Oh, yes, there are also buns. I bought four big buns, just right for the side dishes."
The table, which was originally empty of food, is now filled with delicious food, smelling so good that it makes one's stomach rumble.
In this day and age, it’s good enough to be able to eat meat, and to be able to eat so much delicious meat, it’s like risking your life!
"Eat it quickly, this bun smells delicious."
She simply gave one to each of them, broke her own bun in half, took one half and took a bite.
It smells so good!
The skin is thin and the filling is rich, and the soup inside is rich and delicious.
She took another bite of the ribs, which were also cooked until they were soft and tender, with a sweet and sour taste, and a wonderful texture.
The spicy diced chicken is also fried very tender and spicy. If you drink a glass of iced drink at this time, it will be so refreshing.
Don’t miss out on delicious food, but don’t overeat.
She has strict requirements for her figure, and eating until she is 60% full is enough.
Especially at night, you should not eat too much.
Nian Nian ate the most delicious one, the ribs were all over her mouth, and the spicy chicken cubes were so spicy that she kept gasping for air.
It’s so spicy but I can’t stop eating it. I guess I really like spicy chicken.
Huo Jinyan always eats very quickly and doesn't talk much.
Although he eats more vegetarian dishes, he will not refuse meat dishes.
He ate every dish on the table.
He even ate the bun that Jiang Mengning gave him.
Only Huo Haowen seemed to be sulking. He refused to eat buns, pork ribs or chicken, and only ate vegetables.
He almost finished all three vegetarian dishes.
Nian Nian wanted her brother to eat meat, so she reminded him: "Brother, why don't you eat spareribs? They are delicious."
Huo Haowen snorted without even raising his head.
"What kind of family is this, buying so many delicious foods."
He was standing up for his father.
Dad works hard to earn money, but stepmother spends money without restraint.
What's even more outrageous is that the stepmother clearly owes money outside, but not only does she not make money, she also spends it lavishly. When will she pay back the money she owes outside?
It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry to kill the eunuch.
Jiang Mengning heard the voice-over.
She wasn't angry either, and smiled and said, "Little ghost, are you saying this because you think I'm a big spender?"
Unconvinced, she kicked Huo Jinyan under the table: "Hey, your son said I spend money lavishly and despised me as a spendthrift. Do you want to do something about it?"
