Chapter 282: Secret Observation (Page 1/2)
When Huo Li saw his eldest grandson and his wife had arrived, he immediately called for dinner, "It's getting late, everyone, please take a seat and eat first!"
After everyone was seated, Lin Man looked at the two empty seats and thought that with so many people coming, one round table might not be able to accommodate them all, so she said, "You guys sit down first. I'll feed An An."
Seeing that Lin Man was unwilling to sit at the table, Xiao Ya advised, "Man Man, go sit over there. An An has finished his meal. I'll look after him."
"Mom, please go sit over there. I'll take care of An An and Ning Ning."
Seeing his mother and daughter-in-law pushing each other, Huo Qingci smiled and said, "Manman, stop fighting. There are two seats here. You and mom can come and sit. Qinghuan can sit on the sofa and eat."
"Mom, sister-in-law, you guys go eat first. I'll look after An An and Ning Ning." Huo Qingyan closed the wooden box and planned to take it back to the room before coming out to look after his two nephews.
Lin Man did not refuse again, but pulled out a stool and sat next to Huo Qingci. Ling Fei was in a good mood at the moment, so naturally she did not say anything nonsense.
Huo Qinghuan had long been accustomed to not having a seat at the table and eating on the side. He served the food and stood behind Huo Qingci and Lin Man and said, "Brother, please help me with some food."
Huo Qingci took his bowl and chopsticks gracefully, then used chopsticks to pick up a piece of pig's trotter, some fish and vegetables for him.
After picking up the food, she handed the bowl and chopsticks back to him and said gently, "You eat first, and I'll help you pick it up after you finish."
"Thank you, brother!" Huo Qinghuan responded politely.
Zhao Hongmei looked at everything that was happening in front of her and couldn't help thinking that Huo Qinghuan was a very polite child. He was not at all as overbearing and unreasonable as the rumors said.
I heard Feifei mention before that Huo Qinghuan was ignorant and always liked to argue with her, and even snatch food from her. Could it be that Feifei was lying?
Zhao Hongmei carefully observed Huo Qinghuan in secret. At the same time, Old Lady Ye was also observing Huo Qingci and Lin Man.
Huo Qingci first picked up a piece of fish for his grandfather, and then picked up a piece of pig's trotter for Lin Man.
Old Mrs. Ye couldn't help but sigh that the eldest son of the Huo family was really great. Not only was he filial to the elderly, but he also loved his wife very much.
The eldest daughter-in-law is equally outstanding. She is tall and beautiful. She speaks in a soft tone, showing her knowledge and good manners. She also acts in a measured and appropriate manner.
To be honest, Huo Qingci's daughter-in-law is much better than their granddaughter. Fortunately, they did not move in with their parents-in-law before.
The difference is obvious after comparing them. Don’t Xiao Ya and Huo Junshan dislike her granddaughter to death?
When Lin Man saw the fat in the bowl, she picked up some and gave it to Huo Qingci. As soon as she looked up, she saw Old Lady Ye looking at her intently.
Although she didn't know what the old lady was looking at, she smiled at her and said, "Grandma, this steamed fish made by grandma is very tender. Please eat more."
Old Mrs. Ye nodded and said gently, "Okay, thank you, you eat too."
Zhao Hongmei came to her senses and hurriedly picked up a piece of fish for her mother-in-law. Then she looked up and saw her niece sitting next to her father-in-law, gnawing on pig's trotters.
Well, it seems that Xiao Ya must like the eldest brother’s wife more. Why is Fei Fei, this silly child, so stupid in speaking?
If Huo Qinghuan knew that Second Sister-in-law's aunt would think this way, she would definitely scold her in her heart: "How could Second Sister-in-law be just dumb in words? She is also greedy, selfish, lazy, cunning and deceitful..."
Xiao Ya also noticed Zhao Hongmei's staring and scrutiny. Thinking of what Zhao Hongmei said to her when she was cooking, she naturally understood why her gaze lingered on her and Manman.

She wouldn't suspect that she was partial to Manman, right? God knows, even though she couldn't be absolutely fair in some things, she was trying her best to treat both daughters-in-law equally and as her own daughters.
What else does the Ye family want from her?
Xiao Ya ignored the stares of Zhao Hongmei and Old Lady Ye, quickly finished her meal, and gave up her seat to her second son, Huo Qingyan.
Huo Qingyan came out of the room and sat on the sofa looking at his two nephews.
Huo Yian saw his second uncle sitting with his legs crossed, so he sat on the chair and said, "Uncle, shake it."
Huo Qingyan didn't understand what he meant. Huo Yining patted his legs twice and said, "Uncle, I want to sit on your lap and rock until we reach Grandma's Bridge."
Little An An nodded as if pounding garlic, and said in a baby voice: "Uncle, shake...qiaoqiao..."
When Huo Qingyan saw the silly look of his little nephew, he immediately laughed. He picked up Huo Yian and sat him on his shoes, holding his two arms, and gently shook his right leg, making Huo Yian laugh.
Seeing his brother having so much fun, Huo Yining said to Huo Qingyan, "Uncle, Ningning wants to ride the rocking chair too."
Huo Qingyan shook his head and said, "I'll come play with you after Second Uncle has finished his meal."
Xiao Ya put down her bowl and chopsticks, brought a clean set of bowl and chopsticks to Huo Qingyan, and told him to sit over and eat. Huo Qingyan took Huo Yian off his lap and went back to the table to eat.
Zhao Hongmei looked at her energetic nephew-in-law and thought that Huo Qingyan seemed to like his eldest brother's two sons very much.
I don’t know whether he really likes these two nephews or just because they are both boys.
Feifei said that Huo Qingyan likes sons very much, and Feifei herself also wants to have two sons this time. It is hard to say whether their wish can be fulfilled now.
After dinner, Huo Li saw that his great-grandson was dozing off, so he took them away first. Then Huo Qingci, Lin Man and Huo Qinghuan also got up and left.
Before leaving, Lin Man saw her mother-in-law clearing the dishes and asked with concern, "Mom, do you want me to help you clean up?"
Xiao Ya said, "No need, I'll clean it up myself, you guys go to work quickly."
The guests went to work one after another. Finally, Huo Qingyan gave Ling Fei a few words of advice and then went to work.
Now only Ling Fei, her aunt, and her grandparents are left at home.
While the Huo family was away, Old Lady Ye said, "Fei Fei, since you have all moved out and are living alone, you should live a good life from now on.
Don't argue with Qingyan. If there's anything you can't resolve, come back and tell us."
Zhao Hongmei agreed, "Yes, if there is anything you can't solve, come back to me and your uncle, and we will find a way to solve it."
Ling Fei thought for a moment and said, "Aunt, Qingyan has gone to work, and I'm alone at home every day. Can you come over and talk to me?"
Zhao Hongmei understood that Ling Fei wanted her to come and take care of her during the day.
Old Mrs. Ye frowned. Didn't she tell her earlier that her cousin's wife was pregnant? Why did she still ask her daughter-in-law this question?
Zhao Hongmei hesitated for a moment and replied, "Fei Fei, your cousin's wife is also pregnant. I may have to stay at home to take care of her, but don't worry, I will come to see you when I am free."
Ling Fei actually knew very well that she was not her aunt's daughter. No matter how good her aunt was to her, it would only be temporary. Oh, forget it. It was good enough that they could find time to visit her.
