Chapter 512 (Page 1/2)
Xiao Ya asked her why, and she explained that her grandson Yi Chen didn't like ginger, onions, and garlic, she didn't like chili peppers very much, and Huo Qingyan hated eating fermented black beans...
In short, there were various reasons. Even if ginger slices were added when cooking fish, they would be picked out in the end. Over time, Huo Qingyan stopped her from cooking.
Either let the nanny cook, and when she gets tired of the food she cooks, she will go to the cafeteria to get food.
Huo Li didn't say anything else. Huo Qingci stood up, took the wine glass, and filled a glass of white wine for his grandfather.
Huo Li took the wine glass, smelled the aroma of the wine, then took a sip and exclaimed: "Good wine, really good wine!"
Huo Qingci poured a glass of white wine for his father Huo Junshan, his second brother Huo Qingyan, and his youngest brother Huo Qinghuan, and finally poured himself a glass.
Huo Junshan picked up a chicken leg and gently placed it in Huo Li's bowl, "Dad, you eat the chicken leg."
Huo Li put the chicken leg in Huo Yining's bowl, and Huo Yining smiled and returned it, "Grandpa, this pot of chicken soup was cooked by my dad in a newly bought pressure cooker."
Huo Junshan asked Huo Qingci, "Did you buy a pressure cooker? You have to be very careful with it, or it might explode! I heard that the chef in your hospital cafeteria used a pressure cooker to stew pig's trotters for a patient, and it blew up the whole kitchen."
"That's because he ate it improperly. Manman and I will be careful with it, so don't worry, Dad. Chicken soup and pig's trotters can be cooked quickly in a pressure cooker."
Xiao Ya said hesitantly, "Junshan, why don't we buy a Double Happiness pressure cooker? This will save time."
"I'm worried about Rourou being at home. The pressure cooker could explode. Once it explodes, the lid will fly off. It's really dangerous."
"Forget it! Qingci, Xiaoman, be careful when cooking with a pressure cooker."
Lin Man nodded and agreed. She also knew that the pressure cookers of this era were cast aluminum pressure cookers, and they were indeed prone to explosion if not handled properly.
In fact, Lin Man didn't dare to use it much. What they were using now were pressure cookers taken out from the space warehouse. The materials of the pressure cookers were different and the safety performance was also very good. There was absolutely no problem in stewing chicken soup, pork ribs, and pig's trotters.
Halfway through the meal, Huo Li suddenly asked Huo Qingci, "School is about to start. What grade will the orphan you're helping go to?"
Huo Junshan looked at his son in confusion, not understanding why he wanted to help orphans, so he asked, "What orphans are you helping?"
Huo Qingci answered while eating, "There are some orphans in Phoenix City of the Military Region. We cadres provide one-on-one support to each orphan. My target is a twelve-year-old boy.
Although he is two years older than our Ningning, he started school late, at the age of seven, and was held back a grade, so he will be in the fifth grade next semester.
All of his immediate family members were buried under the rubble, and no one from his distant family was willing to adopt him, so he was brought back by our Organization Department."
After hearing his son's words, Huo Junshan understood the whole story and knew that he had someone to help. He expressed his understanding. He put down his chopsticks and sighed, "What a poor child. Since you chose this one-on-one assistance mission, take good care of that boy."
Huo Qingci nodded in agreement, "Dad, I understand. I will do my best to complete the task assigned to me by the organization."
The family was eating around the table, chatting and laughing. Suddenly, there was a loud bang. Huo Yingzi threw her chopsticks on the table and said angrily, "I don't want to eat anymore."
Huo Qingyan hurriedly got down from the table, walked to the coffee table, and asked, "Yingzi, what are you doing?"

Huo Yingzi snorted coldly, "Sister Xinxin gave the last chestnut in the bowl to my brother and not to me."
Huo Yixin stepped forward to explain, "Second Uncle, Sister Zizi initially said she wanted chicken instead of chestnuts. Brother Chen likes chestnuts, so I gave them to him. Who knew Zizi would suddenly lose her temper?"
Huo Qingyan only has this one daughter. Normally, he would definitely coax her, but he didn't want to do that in front of his beautiful and well-behaved niece.
Huo Qingyan asked Huo Yingzi with a cold face, "Is what your sister Xinxin said true?"
Huo Yingzi burst into tears, "Dad is mean to me. Why do you all like brother and not me? Sister Xinxin also helps brother."
Huo Yiwen, who had finished his meal, put down his chopsticks and said unhappily, "Sister Yingzi, why don't you look for the reason in yourself? My aunt is younger than you and is more skilled than you. Look at you. You want to eat chicken, so we give it to you.
Your brother likes the sweet chestnuts in the chicken soup, so we gave it to him. It's just one chestnut. We don't have any on our table, but Grandpa has some on his. Why are you throwing your chopsticks and getting angry?"
Faced with Huo Yiwen's questioning, Huo Yingzi was speechless. She didn't understand. She was the only daughter in the family, and Sister Xinxin was also the only daughter in their family. Why was there such a big difference?
Sister Xinxin is not only coaxed by her parents, but also has her older brother and younger brother who give in to her.
But in their family, only her father gave in to her. Her mother always blamed her for being ignorant, and her brother sometimes quarreled with her and refused to play with her.
As soon as that strange little uncle came back, he praised the little aunt for being sensible and praised Sister Xinxin for being beautiful and cute. Doesn't that mean she is not cute?
Seeing her granddaughter crying so hard, Xiao Ya felt extremely distressed. She quickly picked up the soup spoon on the table and scooped around in the chicken soup bowl, taking out three chestnuts. Then she stood up carefully, afraid that the soup would splash on her body. She slowly walked to Huo Yingzi and put the chestnuts in her bowl.
"Zizi, don't cry. Grandma has scooped some chestnuts for you."
When Huo Yingzi heard this, she stopped crying. She looked at the chestnuts in the bowl with tearful eyes, and suddenly burst into laughter, revealing two dimples. The combination of crying and laughing blew out a big bubble of snot from her nose.
Huo Qingyan sighed, shook his head helplessly, turned around and sat back down at the round table.
Huo Yichen, standing by, looked at his sister with disdain as she swung her arms to wipe away her snot. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "Other people's sisters are all cute, obedient, and sensible, but why is my sister so fond of crying and making a fuss? She always has to argue over everything. It's so annoying!"
Huo Qinghuan didn't expect that his niece was such a child. He suddenly thought of someone and his body trembled subconsciously.
It is said that daughters are lovers from previous lives. Could it be that my little niece Huo Yingzi is the reincarnation of my second sister-in-law Ling Fei?
Could it be that she was still obsessed with her second brother, so she chose to reincarnate as his daughter?
Seeing his uncle in a daze, Huo Yining gently touched his arm and asked, "What are you thinking about, uncle?"
Huo Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, then joked, "I was wondering if I should stay and sleep with you tonight."
Huo Yining grinned, "No problem, I sleep alone in the small bed anyway. If uncle doesn't mind being crowded, we can squeeze in tonight."
"Forget it, I'd better go back. Xiao Ningzi, do you want to go back to sleep with your uncle?"
