Chapter 341: The True Purpose (Page 1/2)
It is said that a man who knows the current situation is a hero. Huo Junshan was very satisfied with his brother-in-law's attitude. His younger sister was too naive and a bit silly, but fortunately his brother-in-law was smart and clear-headed.
As long as one of the couple is in a clear state of mind, the family can still be saved. If both of them are not in a clear state of mind, they are destined to go their separate ways.
Just like his son Huo Qingyan, isn't he mentally unstable? And there's also Ling Fei, whose mind is even more unstable. It would be strange if the two of them didn't get divorced.
Huo Junshan was a little confused. Ling Fei married into their family thanks to her grandfather, but he and his wife did not torture her, and his son even spoiled her like a princess.
Why is she so unsatisfied? She has a good life but she has to act like a troublemaker. Now she has ruined this marriage.
Seeing that her brother and sister-in-law didn't want to talk about Huo Qingyan's marriage, Huo Junmo talked about Huo Qinghuan and her youngest daughter.
"Third sister-in-law, how is your Qinghuan doing academically? My Xiaoyu's grades aren't very good. She's such a little idiot."
Huo Qinghuan had good grades, but Xiao Ya didn't want to compare him with her sister-in-law's daughter.
She said, "Little sister, Xiaoyu is still young. Don't call her stupid even if her grades are not good! Everyone has their own strengths."
Huo Junmo said somewhat dejectedly, "Does my Xiaoyu know how to use an abacus?"
“…”
Seeing that these people had nothing to do, Lin Man simply went back to the kitchen and brought out the dough she had kneaded in advance and the dumpling fillings in pots.
When Huo Wenyao saw that they were going to make dumplings, she immediately threw away the poker in her hand and said, "Sister-in-law, do you want to eat dumplings tonight?"
"No, we're having hot pot tonight, and these dumplings are for breakfast tomorrow."
Huo Yan looked at the large bowl of dumpling filling on the table and asked in surprise, "So much filling, are they going to make a thousand dumplings? Can we finish all of them?"
Lin Man's mouth twitched. "With so many people, they can definitely finish the meal. If they can't finish it, there will be surplus every year, isn't that just right?"
My aunt's family will go back to celebrate the New Year after dinner tonight. Four people came from my fourth uncle's family, four people from my fifth uncle's family, plus my grandfather, father-in-law, mother-in-law, two uncles and my own family of four, a total of twenty-three people.
Not to mention grown men like Huo Qingci and Huo Qingyan, Huo Qinghuan can eat seventy or eighty dumplings by himself, and her son Huo Yining can eat fifteen dumplings.
A thousand dumplings is definitely not a lot. This filling can be used to make at least fifteen hundred dumplings. Even if we can't finish them, it's okay. They won't go bad if we bury them in the snow.
Xiao Ya and Huo Junshan stood up at the same time and said in unison, "I'll help roll out the dough."
Lin Man smiled and said, "Okay, I happen to have two rolling pins at home, so Mom and Dad can roll out the dumpling wrappers together."
Seeing that his third brother had gone to help, Huo Junlin couldn't eat for free, so he stood up as well, "Brother and sister-in-law will roll out the dough, then I will make the dumplings."
Seeing that her husband had gotten up to make dumplings, Yang Huiling also got up and prepared to work.
Seeing this, Du Xiaojuan and her husband naturally took the initiative to join in, and their son also stood up to help.
He Zhongkang smiled awkwardly, "I don't know how to make dumplings, let the kids help!"
He Zhongkang was a literati working in an office. He was only suitable for holding a pen and really didn't know how to make dumplings, so he had to ask his children to help.
There were a lot of people gathered around the table, and Lin Man couldn't squeeze in, so she had to go back to the kitchen, get a winnowing basket to hold the dumplings, and when the basket was full, she took it out to freeze in the snow.
Huo Li was busy in the space for more than an hour, picking up two hundred eggs and two baskets of fruit, and his mood finally calmed down.

"Go out, I'm a little sleepy, you go and accompany Xiaoman and the child."
Huo Qingci had no choice but to take his grandfather out of the space. As soon as Huo Liyi returned to the room, he took off his shoes, then took off his cotton pants, and quickly climbed onto the bed and lay down.
Huo Qingci gently opened the door and walked out. He saw everyone sitting around the table making dumplings. He walked over slowly.
"Wow, everyone's dumplings are made in a different shape! Who made the big bun-shaped dumpling in the middle?" Huo Qingci asked curiously.
Huo Qinghuan smiled and replied, "Brother, this was made by your precious son."
Huo Qingci turned around and saw Huo Yining with flour all over his face. He couldn't help laughing. Why did this little guy come to join in the fun? Who would dare to eat these weird-shaped dumplings?
Huo Qingci then asked: "Do you need my help?"
"Brother, you just came out now. The dumplings are almost finished. We don't need your help anymore." Huo Qinghuan said with a smile.
Huo Qingci looked at the wooden basin and found that there was indeed not much filling left in it.
Well, in that case, I won't make things worse.
However, he still had to go talk to Huo Qingyan, so that he wouldn't speak without thinking when he met the big boss tomorrow. Thinking of this, Huo Qingci turned around and went to find Huo Qingyan.
Huo Qingci walked over to Huo Qingyan and said, "Wash your hands and come to my room. I have something to tell you."
Huo Qingyan put the wrapped dumplings into a winnowing basket, turned around and ran to the backyard to wash his hands.
Huo Qingci went back to his room first, and when his brother knocked on the door, he immediately opened the door and let him in.
"Brother, what do you want from me?"
"Do you know why Grandpa is taking us to see the big boss tomorrow?"
Huo Qingyan nodded and said, "Grandpa has taken a liking to Big Brother and wants to introduce him to those leaders.
As for me, I guess my grandfather saw that I was divorced and wanted to take me to see if there were any suitable female comrades in the families of those leaders. He must be trying to find me another partner."
Huo Qingci thought to himself that his second brother seemed to have suddenly come to his senses after his divorce and actually understood his grandfather's thoughts.
"Grandpa is very old and he himself doesn't know how much time he has left to live.
He believes that you and I are the future of the Huo family, so he wants to take us out to see the world, hoping that he can be of help to us in the future.
As for finding a partner for you, it is still uncertain at the moment, but the primary purpose of bringing you along this time is to impress the Wang family.
"What on earth does grandpa want to do by giving the Wang family a hard time?"
Huo Qingci glared at Huo Qingyan fiercely and said, "Didn't you say before that Ling Fei is from the Wang family? Grandpa doesn't want to see the Ye family inciting Ling Fei to continue to harm you. I hope the Wang family will take her back to her ancestral home as soon as possible and discipline her strictly."
Huo Qingci would naturally not easily reveal his grandfather's true intentions, and the reason why he told the story of trying to deceive the Wang family was simply because he hoped Huo Qingyan would not speak nonsense tomorrow.
At the same time, he also took this opportunity to observe Huo Qingyan's current reaction. If he objected, then there would be no need to bring him along when he went to pay New Year's greetings to the leader tomorrow.
