When Li Xiangyun and Huo Changgen arrived, the group exchanged pleasantries for a while.
When Huo Changgen heard that the person he had just shaken hands with was the county party secretary...
He turned pale with fright.
Li Xiangyun poked his elbow hard before he realized what was happening.
He chuckled dryly twice.
He smiled and tried to get on the secretary's good side.
Yun Qinzhi had originally planned to call the couple over to give them a good talking-to.
Although it seems that his daughter is doing well here now, he is not someone who only looks at appearances.
During the meal in the front yard, Nannan barely interacted with the people there.
Her two sisters-in-law, in particular, didn't say a word the entire time.
What does this tell us?
This indicates that their relationship is not good.
Therefore, it would be a good thing to give Huo Changgen and Li Xiangyun a good talking-to.
In any case, anyone who dares to make his daughter unhappy is unacceptable!
The food at Huo Junshan's place has been prepared, and the tables and chairs have been set up.
We ate in the courtyard again.
The food was served.
Spicy rabbit meat, braised pork ribs, chicken soup, and big plate chicken.
Other dishes include stir-fried cured pork with chili peppers and stir-fried shredded pork with potato slices.
Braised eggplant, and stir-fried pork with pickled green beans.
He also added a tomato and egg stir-fry.
There are nine dishes in total.
Yun Lang assisted him, Yun Gan tended the fire, and Huo Junshan cooked.
That's how it was done!
It has a perfect combination of color, aroma, and taste.
Wen Yingqiu smiled and praised, her eyes full of liking and satisfaction.
She felt much more at ease knowing her son-in-law was a good caregiver. After they went back home, she felt much more at ease.
"Xiao Huo is really good at cooking. Ningning, you should learn to cook too, so that Xiao Huo can't be the only one doing all the work."
Yun Ningyan stuck out her tongue.
Li Xiangyun waved her hand: "Hey! She can take good care of herself. The third brother is happy to take care of everything inside and out!"
Huo Junshan smiled slightly: "As long as I'm home, I won't let her do housework."
Xiao Zhenhua clenched his fists as he watched Yun Ningyan and Huo Junshan exchange longing glances.
He had fallen in love with Yun Ningyan at first sight, but when he heard that she had already married, he wanted to give up.
But after more than twenty years, he has finally fallen in love once, how could he give up so easily!
Seeing the two of them so affectionate, he was very envious.
But he's not the kind of person who breaks up families, and he wouldn't do such a thing.
But that doesn't stop him from caring about Yun Ningyan. If Huo Junshan dares to treat her badly...
He won't let him get away with it.
Huo Junshan overheard every word he said.
Huo Junshan sneered inwardly, his eyes fixed on Xiao Zhenhua, filled with mockery, smugness, and wariness.
Xiao Zhenhua saw him coldly sweep his gaze over him, but he was not afraid at all, since he had not done anything wrong.
What's so scary about it?
In terms of fighting ability, I am no less than him.
Li Xiangyun and Huo Changgen invited everyone to sit down and eat.
Huo Changgen chuckled twice and said to Xiao Hongjun, "Secretary Xiao, come on, have some food."
Huo Junshan went inside to get the wine and poured a glass for each of them.
Xiao Hongjun asked in surprise, "You're something else, kid. You even have this kind of wine? Why aren't the three of you drinking?"
Yun Lang and Yun Gan waved their hands repeatedly: "We're going up the mountain tonight to see if we can try our luck! We won't drink!"
Upon hearing that they were going up the mountain, Xiao Zhenhua wondered if he should show off his skills.
Without thinking, he pushed the wine glass in front of him towards his father.
"Dad, I won't drink anymore. I want to go up the mountain with them. I haven't been there yet since we came here!"
Xiao Hongjun nodded: "Whatever you want!"
This left only Yun Qinzhi, Xiao Hongjun, Huo Changgen, and the brigade leader.
As the others began to eat, Huo Junshan served Yun Ningyan a bowl of chicken soup, along with a chicken leg.
I kept this one chicken leg and chopped up the other one.
"Yanyan, try this braised chicken with potatoes, I think it's delicious!"
Seeing Huo Junshan serving food to his younger sister, Yun Lang and the other two were equally determined not to be outdone.
"Little sister, try this cured meat, I think it tastes even better!"
"Little sister, I think this stir-fried shredded pork with potato slices tastes better."
Clouds and mist gathered, supporting her forehead.
Is it really necessary for these three people to compete for favor like this?
She said with a helpless yet slightly amused tone, "I'll eat all of these. Please don't put any more on my plate, or I'll get angry! I'm not a child anymore."
Secretary Xiao didn't eat much during the meal; he and Yun Qinzhi only focused on drinking.
The two have been friends for many years, and when they met again, they had a lot to talk about.
Xiao Hongjun looked at his only son, and occasionally glanced at his eldest niece.
Is there anything else he doesn't understand?
But he just realized that his niece was already pregnant.
My son is not blessed!
He looked at Yun Qinzhi with a wide smile, his eyes practically disappearing as he grinned, "Old Yun, if you ever become successful, don't forget to mention me!"
Yun Qin smiled.
Ignore him.
If this person wanted to stay in Beijing, would they need to ask for help themselves?
When he retired, he was assigned a job in Beijing.
But he was only thinking about saving his life, and he proposed to go back to his hometown to develop his career.
Isn't this where it was assigned?
If he hadn't been assigned here, Yunqin Zhihai really wouldn't have been able to find anyone to help his daughter establish her authority.
He shook his head and chuckled: "Old Xiao, you can go upstairs and we can still see each other often in the future. Otherwise, you can stay here all by yourself and it will be difficult to see us again."
