Huo Junshan realized he might have gone too far, so he apologized softly, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. Don't be angry, I'll bring you rabbit meat tonight."
Upon hearing this, Yun Ningyan felt her face turn even redder, but when she heard about rabbit meat, her eyes lit up.
"Really? I love spicy rabbit meat the most."
"Would you like some pheasant soup? Drink some to help you recover; you're too thin."
Yun Ningyan licked her lips with her pink tongue, as if imagining the taste of wild chicken soup.
Huo Junshan's throat tightened, and he silently looked away. "You take a break, I'll help you for a while."
After he finished speaking, he went into the cornfield and started working.
Yun Ningyan admired Huo Junshan's working posture; his arms were strong and powerful, and his slightly arched biceps were the source of his strength.
He easily pulled the corn cob off his hand, then tossed it aside with a swift and smooth motion, without the slightest hesitation.
He finished the two-centimeter job in less than an hour.
Yun Ningyan called out to him, "Stop working, come and rest and have some water." She handed him a water bottle filled with spiritual spring water.
After the chicken cake incident, I don't feel embarrassed anymore.
Huo Junshan raised an eyebrow, took the water bottle, and gulped down a few mouthfuls. The sweet spring water filled his throat, and he felt his body full of energy.
"I'm leaving now. You go back later, and I'll come back to help you tomorrow."
Yun Ningyan nodded and watched him leave.
As soon as Huo Junshan left the cornfield, the brigade leader came over to him and asked, "Third brother, did you go to help with the work?"
Huo Junshan didn't hide anything and nodded.
The captain beamed and gossiped, "Third brother, what stage have you two reached? Have you held hands and kissed yet?"
Huo Junshan thought about how she had just said that this counted as an indirect kiss, so it must still be a kiss, right?
My ears turned red just thinking about it.
The captain wanted to ask more, but he rolled his eyes at him and said, "Why do you love gossiping just like that old lady?"
Captain......
They say he's like a woman?
He raised his long pipe as if to tap it twice, saying, "Hey! You little brat, how dare you talk like that?"
That kid is very tight-lipped; he'll have his wife ask his sister-in-law later.
Huo Junshan ignored him and continued working, which angered the team leader, who left in a huff.
Yun Ningyan stayed in the field for a while before going to the team leader to record her work points. The team leader smiled broadly and said, "Alright, alright, you can go back now!"
After returning, Yun Ningyan went into her space and cooked braised pork ribs and rice. She added water to the pot and started a fire to cook it, so that no one would suspect anything.
After finishing her work, it wasn't time to leave yet, so she lay down on her bed to rest and fell asleep without realizing it.
She didn't wake up until Lin Mengmeng came home from work and knocked on her door.
He returned the purchased items and the remaining money to Lin Mengmeng, saying, "Mengmeng, I'm inviting Huo Junshan over for dinner tonight. You can come too."
When Lin Mengmeng heard that Huo Junshan was coming over, she quickly waved her hand in fright, "No need, that person looks too fierce, I'd rather not eat with you."
Seeing that she didn't seem to be faking it, Yun Ningyan served her some food and told her to eat in her room.
When Huo Junshan returned home from work, his mother and sister-in-law were cooking, and the whole yard smelled delicious.
After taking a bath and changing his clothes, Huo Junshan came in and said, "Mom, is the chicken soup ready? Take the chicken legs out so I can take them with me."
Sister-in-law Huo's eyes widened. Those were two big chicken legs, with hardly any meat on the rest. Was her third brother going to keep them all for himself or give them to an outsider?
"Third brother, why are you taking food from the child?"
Li Xiangyun knew this restless fellow was going to cause trouble again, so she scolded him, "If you still want to eat, shut your mouth."
Sister-in-law Huo was unwilling to accept this; the family finally had a chance to eat meat, and the adults were even trying to take the child away from them!
She glared angrily at the lunchbox in Huo Junshan's hand. "Third brother, are you going to eat both chicken legs by yourself? The children need to nourish themselves...?"
Huo Jianguo's forehead throbbed. He glared at the brainless Wang Cuihong and said, "The pheasants and rabbits were brought back by my third brother. It's none of your business."
Seeing that her husband wasn't speaking up for the children, Wang Cuihong raised her voice a few decibels, "These are originally for two children. He gave them to outsiders but wouldn't even feed the children. What kind of uncle is that?"
Upon hearing the word "outsider," Huo Junshan's face instantly darkened. "If you don't want to eat, then don't eat. The child is yours and my elder brother's, not mine."
Li Xiangyun glared fiercely at Wang Cuihong. How much benefit had the main branch of the family gained? They didn't know how to be grateful; all they did was scheme and not suffer the slightest loss.
If I had known she would turn out like this, I shouldn't have let the eldest brother marry her in the first place.
Huo Jianguo looked embarrassed. His third brother was right. He knew he was incompetent and had only been able to raise his child so well thanks to his brothers. But his wife was just a bit slow on the uptake.
"Third brother, I know that I've benefited from the support of you brothers to raise my child so well. I will teach your sister-in-law a lesson. Don't take her seriously; she's just outspoken."
Li Xiangyun felt a sense of relief; her eldest son's words made her feel much better. She said to Huo Junshan, "Third son, you should hurry up and leave, it'll get cold soon."
Huo Junshan left with two lunchboxes.
Huo Changgen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his third son leave. His eldest daughter-in-law was really petty.
Huo Jianshe also didn't have a good impression of his sister-in-law, and he was always scheming against her, as if they didn't know anything about it.
My brother is really unlucky to have married such a mean-spirited wife.
The three brothers, Huo Jiandang, Huo Jianjun, and Huo Jianshe, all shook their heads, saying they must be careful when choosing a wife.
Huo Junshan brought his lunchbox into the educated youth compound; he came openly and honestly.
