Obviously Huo Jinyan didn't know this, as he had just returned from the military district.
I looked at the time and it was indeed late.
"Don't worry, I'll go out and look for it."
Not long after walking out, Huo Haowen came back.
The people who came back were in a mess and their bodies were so dirty that it was unbearable to look at. If you didn’t know, you would think they had gone to a coal mine to dig coal.
"Why are you back so late?"
Huo Jinyan usually doesn't restrict his son much, as long as he doesn't commit crimes.
He always believed that boys should cultivate themselves from a young age in order to be independent and self-reliant.
Therefore, he would not make a big deal about Huo Haowen coming home late.
"My classmates and I went to the mountains to hunt wild game, but we didn't catch any."
Huo Haowen was a little afraid of his father, so he lied like this.
Huo Jinyan looked at him for a long time before asking, "Are you okay?"
ah?
In Huo Haowen's heart, his father has always been serious, strict in disciplining him, and rarely caring about him.
Or it could be said that he shows little concern on the surface, and his concern has always been silent.
"Oh, no, not hurt."
"Well, go back and tell your mother, she's very worried about you."
Huo Haowen was even more surprised. His stepmother was actually worried that he would come home late?
Although he was surprised, he still came to the door of his stepmother's room.
My stepmother hasn't gone to bed yet.
"Well, I'm back."
He said it awkwardly.
Jiang Mengning came out and leaned against the door looking at him.
"I went on a date with a little girl!"
She joked.
Huo Haowen's face turned red.
"What little girl, don't talk nonsense."
The stepmother really wanted to tease him.
Turn around and leave.
I never want to talk to my stepmother again.
Jiang Mengning chuckled.
This boy is very arrogant.
"I've left some rice for you in the pot, but it might be cold. Go heat it up yourself."
"knew."
He didn't want to talk to his stepmother, but he answered anyway.
I was surprised myself.
I went to the kitchen embarrassedly.
There was a bowl of braised pork and a few steamed buns left in the pot.
A warm current flowed through Huo Haowen's heart.
As he was eating, he suddenly felt that the braised pork was delicious.
How come it's fragrant, sticky, and a little sweet?
It was late at night and Huo Jinyan lay in bed unable to fall asleep.
There was no movement in the closed door tonight, and the woman showed no intention of coming in.
What's the meaning!
Why did she suddenly stop teasing him?
Captain Huo, who had not been teased all day, tossed and turned in bed until dawn.
The next day, he came out with dark circles under his eyes, which scared Huo Haowen.
"Ah, Dad, you...you stole the cow last night?"
Huo Jinyan didn't have the energy to talk, so he asked his son to speak more quietly so as not to disturb those who were still sleeping, and then he went out.
Huo Haowen didn't take this matter to heart. He ate his meal by himself and went out early.
But he didn't go directly to school, but went to the back mountain.
Jiang Mengning got up very early today. After dinner, she took Nian Nian to the town.
The finished lipstick has to be given to someone else.
"Sister Beauty, you're here!"
Bai Huiru was still innocent and cute. When she saw Jiang Mengning coming, she pulled her into the house to talk.
"Well, I've made some lipstick and sent it to you. I made five extra this time. See if anyone in your family needs any."
"Okay, okay, leave all the lipsticks you have here with me! Ever since I started using the lipstick you made, I can't get used to using the ones I buy outside."
"Sister Beauty, I'll tell you a secret."
She blinked her big eyes, looking very innocent.
"Wasn't I on a blind date when you came last time? Then I thought about it and decided that guy wasn't right for me, so I didn't continue the conversation with him."
She felt a little aggrieved: "It's just that my family thinks that man is very good. I don't agree with this marriage, and they are a little unhappy, especially my father. He thinks I'm a little ungrateful."
He sounded quite sad as he spoke, the little cutie puffed out his cheeks and sighed.
Jiang Mengning actually likes this little girl very much. She is so simple.
Such a lovely person, it must be fun to deceive him.
She should be thankful that she is a good person and a woman, otherwise the little girl would be in trouble.
"Your own life partner must follow your own heart! Others only see the surface and don't empathize with you."
"Don't feel so wronged and blame yourself. When you look for your next partner, just find someone with better conditions."
"As a young woman with little experience in the world, I sincerely advise you that you can believe in love, but you also have to consider your financial strength. The economic foundation determines the superstructure, so! You can do whatever you want, but don't be foolish and marry someone who is not your match, okay?"
Such a naive girl is suitable to bloom her beauty in a greenhouse all her life, but she must not be deceived by a scumbag.
"Hehe, sister, I'm happy when you say that. I know, I'm the only daughter my parents have, and I definitely can't let them down! I'm not a fool."
Outside the door, Bai's mother happened to hear these words while holding a fruit plate, and she liked Jiang Mengning even more.
What a good girl she is. She has correct values and will not lead her daughter astray. She feels at ease knowing her daughter is friends with her.
"Come on, come on, eat some fruit."
After entering the house, he put the fruit plate away and gave a piece of watermelon to Jiang Mengning and Nian Nian respectively.
It was Nian Nian’s first time eating watermelon, it was so sweet.
Mother Bai looked at Jiang Mengning for a long time, hesitant to speak for a while, and finally said: "Mengning, I have something I don't know how to tell you."
