Chapter 293 Huo Li's Complaint (Page 1/2)
Lin Man thought Huo Qinghuan was a big eater, so she specially cooked a full pot of rice tonight. If there was any leftovers, she would have fried rice with eggs for breakfast tomorrow. She didn't expect that her parents-in-law would come over to eat for free tonight.
Doesn't Ling Fei need someone to take care of her? How come her parents-in-law suddenly have time to come over?
Lin Man cleaned the blow pot, poured a pot of rice wine from the wine jar, placed it on the small stove for cooking, and then added a few more firewood to the stove.
While heating the rice wine, Lin Man took out some raw peanuts from the space and fried a bowl of peanuts as a snack.
She had just finished frying the peanuts when Huo Qingci walked in.
"Manman, what are you doing?"
"Grandpa asked me to heat up a pot of rice wine, and I fried a bowl of peanuts for everyone to go with the wine. Take these out first, and I'll clean up the stove."
"Go eat first, I'll clean up the kitchen after dinner."
Seeing Huo Qingci say this, Lin Man had no choice but to take off her apron and follow him out of the kitchen.
Back in the living room, she put the peanuts back on the table. Huo Yining saw the peanuts on the table and started to make a fuss about eating them. "Mom, I want to eat peanuts."
Lin Man was worried that he might get choked by the peanuts, so she didn't agree and started to reason with him, "Ningning, you're still young and can't eat peanuts. It's easy to get choked."
You forgot that Taozi, the brother next door, choked on some peanuts and nearly died, so he was sent here and asked your dad to help take a picture of it."
Huo Yining said with a frustrated look on his face, "Okay then, I won't eat the peanuts. Otherwise, my brother might try to eat some too and get them stuck."
Seeing that her son was so sensible, Lin Man put a goose leg into his bowl.
"Ningning, eat meat. If you really want peanuts, Mommy will make you peanut candy during the New Year. If you chew the peanut candy slowly, it won't get stuck."
"Thank you, Mom."
Lin Man said that they would make their own peanut candy for the New Year. Xiao Ya suddenly had other ideas. She excitedly suggested, "Man Man, let's make our own New Year's goods this year!"
Lin Man asked curiously, "Making our own New Year's goods? Mom, what kind of New Year's goods should we make?"
Xiao Ya explained with shining eyes, "Buy some raw peanuts and sunflower seeds and fry them yourself. Then buy some flour and fry some sesame seeds and cat ears directly. Grind some rice and steam rice cakes..."
Lin Man thought this was a good idea and nodded in agreement with a smile: "Okay, let's make our own New Year's goods so that we can have enough food and clothing."
In later generations, people bought New Year’s goods, and some people didn’t even cook the dishes for their New Year’s Eve dinner.
Either you go out for the New Year's Eve dinner, or go directly to the restaurant to order food to be delivered to your door. In short, there is no New Year atmosphere at all.
The New Year atmosphere is really strong now! Especially in the countryside, when the Little New Year comes, the village begins to slaughter the New Year pig one after another, and then distributes the pork to the villagers, and then they have a pig-killing meal together.
In the next few days, everyone will go to the market every day to buy New Year's goods, and at the same time do a thorough cleaning at home, making the house spotless to welcome the New Year.
Those who grow crops such as peanuts, broad beans, and soybeans will start to fry various delicious New Year's goods.
Families with better conditions would steam steamed cakes and rice cakes, and fry some meatballs, etc.
Regardless of whether the family is rich or not, every Chinese New Year, even if the parents do not buy new clothes for themselves, they will definitely make a new dress for their children and buy a pair of brand new shoes.
If there are daughters in the family, they will also buy them red hairbands and beautiful silk headbands.
It’s a pity that due to special circumstances in recent years, posting Spring Festival couplets and setting off firecrackers are prohibited, otherwise the New Year atmosphere would definitely be even more intense.

Lin Man likes the Chinese New Year very much. She thinks it is particularly warm to have the whole family get together to celebrate the New Year.
No matter what the relationship between everyone is like in normal times, as long as the family sits around the dining table on New Year’s Eve and enjoys the sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner together, the scene is so lively!
Huo Li suddenly asked Huo Junshan, "How are the Qingyan couple doing recently?"
"Dad, Ling Fei has been discharged from the hospital. Qing Yan found a little girl to take care of her."
"Qingyan found a little girl to take care of Ling Fei?"
"The nanny was introduced by the boss. Although she's young, she's a good worker and very strong. With her around, we don't have to worry about Ling Fei getting into trouble."
"Didn't Qingyan ask Liao Sijie to take care of Ling Fei before? In order to let her take care of Ling Fei, he specially introduced Lin Jing to Sijie.
"That child, Si Jie, left in a hurry and went to the Lin family without saying she was coming back, leaving my two great-grandchildren without anyone to take care of them. In the end, they had to be sent to be cared for by outsiders for a while." Huo Li complained somewhat dissatisfiedly.
Seeing that her father-in-law was angry, Xiao Ya didn't know how to defend her son and niece.
Qingyan was indeed a bit silly. She had advised him at the beginning that he could still be friends with Lin Jing, but he should not introduce Sijie to Lin Jing, so as not to hurt the relationship between the two brothers.
Unexpectedly, he finally didn't listen to the advice and introduced Sijie to Lin Jing. For the sake of her own future, Sijie took the initiative to tell Qingyan that she wanted to date Lin Jing.
I don’t know what Lin Jing was thinking, but he agreed to this marriage after just a few moments of interaction with Si Jie.
She even suspected that Si Jie had promised Lin Jing something, so Lin Jing agreed to marry her.
Otherwise, there are so many girls in the army. If he really wants to marry one of them, wouldn’t it be a simple matter?
Huo Junshan glanced at his wife, then at his daughter-in-law, and began to explain, "Qingyan was a little naive. He thought that by introducing Sijie to Lin Jing, Xiaoman and Lin Jing's relationship would improve."
Huo Li said angrily, "He's meddling in other people's business! He has no good intentions! He has a good relationship with Lin Jing and wants to ease Xiao Man's relationship with the Lin family. He didn't even ask Xiao Man if she agreed. He just made his own decision.
Sijie was going to marry into the Lin family, and her relatives must not have seen it. She didn't care whether Xiaoman had time to take care of the child, and just left without saying a word first.
In my opinion, Xiaoman and Qingci shouldn't go when Liao Sijie and Lin Jing get married."
Huo Junshan and Xiao Ya both understood that the old man said this deliberately for them to hear, wanting them to talk to Huo Qingyan and Liao Sijie.
Xiao Ya said to Lin Man, "Manman, I'm sorry, they made things difficult for you."
Lin Man first fed Huo Yian a spoonful of egg drop soup and said slowly:
"Mom, this has nothing to do with you. You don't need to apologize to me. As for my brother-in-law, he was also thinking about his wife and Si Jie. From their perspective, they are not wrong.
Everyone has their own choices, and I won’t blame them, let alone get angry with them.”
She will only get angry when the people she cares about do something that makes her angry. She doesn't care about them and doesn't let them do what they want.
For example, if she was nice to Huo Qinghuan, but Huo Qinghuan stabbed her in the back in the end, she would definitely be sad. As for Liao Sijie, forget it, she knew what kind of character she was from the beginning.
They look as carefree and simple-minded as Ling Fei, and usually appear to have no desires or demands. In fact, this kind of people are the most scheming. They will only ask for something at the critical moment and stab their friends and relatives in the back for their own purposes.
