Chapter 551: Pheasant Eggs Are Delicious (Page 1/2)
Lin Man used chopsticks to pick up eggs from the pot. When she found that she could pick up the eggs, she used a spatula to shovel them all into the bowl, then turned off the heat and took the bowl back to the living room.
Huo Yining noticed that the eggshells in my bowl were all different colors, so he asked curiously, "Mom, what kind of eggs are these?"
"Pheasant eggs?"
"Ah, are these pheasant eggs? I heard pheasant eggs are very nutritious, but aren't pheasants difficult to catch? Where did these eggs come from?"
Lin Man pulled a stool and sat down, then began to shift the blame again. "Ask your dad about this."
Huo Qingci didn't want to explain. He said, "Just eat your breakfast. Why are you asking so many questions?"
Huo Yining didn't say much. He reached into the bowl and took a blue-shelled egg. He knocked it twice on the table, peeled it quickly, steamed it, and stuffed it into his mouth.
As he chewed, he said, "Pheasant eggs are really delicious."
After Huo Yian finished drinking the eight-treasure porridge, he also reached out and took an egg, tapped it lightly on the table twice, peeled the shell, and began to eat it slowly.
As soon as he took a bite, he realized something was wrong. "Mom, why does this egg have a fragrant smell? Is it really a pheasant egg?"
"Okay, pheasant eggs are pheasant eggs, don't say anything more! Just enjoy your breakfast." Huo Qingci interrupted again.
After Huo Yining finished eating an egg, he glanced at Xiang Dahai's bowl and counted them silently. There were still eleven eggs in the bowl. Together with the ones he and his second brother ate, there were a total of thirteen pheasant eggs.
Including my great-grandfather and aunt, there are now eight people in their family. If each person gets two eggs, there will be exactly three eggs left. So can he still have one egg?
"Mom, pheasant eggs are so delicious. Can I have another egg?"
Lin Man knew that the golden pheasant was very delicious, and its eggs were naturally not bad either.
Although there were only thirteen eggs and it was difficult to divide them equally, the three adults would not compete with the children for food. She had decided from the beginning that each adult could just eat one to taste it.
"You kids are still growing, so each of you has two eggs. Help yourselves!"
Huo Yixin drank two bowls of eight-treasure porridge and felt a little bloated. She couldn't eat any more eggs. She said, "Mom, I won't eat the eggs. I'll give them to Grandpa."
Huo Li said, "Thank you, Rourou. No need. If you can't eat it right now, just put it in your schoolbag and take it out to eat when you're hungry after class."
Huo Qingci stood up, took his daughter's schoolbag, took two eggs from the bowl and stuffed them into her schoolbag.
Huo Yiwen put down his bowl and chopsticks, took two eggs from the bowl and left. He planned to give one to Huo Yichen from Class 6 when he returned to school.
Huo Yining and Huo Yian were bigger in stature, so they sat down and finished the other egg before going to school.
After the children went to school, Huo Li said to Huo Rou, "Rou Rou, grandpa is going to the city with your eldest brother. You can stay at home and play with your eldest sister-in-law!"
Huo Rou nodded, "Okay, grandpa."
Lin Man then remembered that her grandfather was also going out today. She had originally planned to go to the space to plant those fruit and flower seedlings, but now it seemed impossible.
If I don’t see my sister-in-law, what if she sneaks down to play and something goes wrong?
I heard that some time ago, there was a little girl less than three years old in the military area. She woke up from her nap and looked for her mother. As a result, she fell into a remote ditch and drowned. She was found by her parents several hours later.
My mother-in-law is still recuperating from illness and can’t even take care of herself, so how can she take care of my sister-in-law?
Lin Man asked Huo Li: "Grandpa, you and Qingci won't be back for lunch today, right?"
Huo Li nodded. "We may not be back until the evening. Qingci will go with me to meet the new chief in the morning, and he will have something to do in the afternoon."
"Okay, then you guys get busy. I'll take Rourou back later to see how Grandma is recovering."

Huo Qingci warned Lin Man, "Manman, if you go to see Mom, bring a basket of eggs with you."
"good."
Lin Man originally wanted to take Huo Rou to her mother-in-law's house by bicycle, but considering that she also had to carry a basket of eggs, it would be inconvenient to carry them by bicycle.
After some thought, she decided to walk there and just treat it as a walk to exercise her body.
When Huo Rou knew that she was about to go home, she felt a little reluctant.
She timidly walked up to Huo Qingci, looked at him with eyes full of expectation and caution, and asked softly, "Brother, after I go back this time, can I still come and live in your house?"
Huo Qingci looked down at his sister, who was a few years younger than his daughter, and a feeling of pity welled up in his heart.
He reached out and gently rubbed Huo Rou's little head, then replied with a smile: "Silly girl, as long as you are willing, you can live here as long as you want. Brother and your sister-in-law will never drive you away."
Hearing this, Huo Rou's eyes, which had been somewhat dim, instantly lit up, a happy smile bloomed on her face, and she said excitedly:
"Wow! That's really great! Big brother's house is so fun. Not only does it have a TV, but there are also so many delicious foods! More importantly, big brother's family is so lively."
Lin Man smiled. It turned out that the child only cared about delicious food and fun things, and didn't even care about his own parents.
My sister-in-law will stay here for at most half a month. When my mother-in-law and father-in-law have recovered a little, they will definitely take her back.
She is the favorite little darling of her mother-in-law and father-in-law. If her father-in-law had not been worried that her mother-in-law would be tired, he would have come to pick up his daughter long ago.
As soon as Huo Qingci and the others left, Lin Man carried the eggs and took Huo Rou's hand to walk to her mother-in-law's house. Her father-in-law and brother-in-law Huo Qinghuan had gone to work, leaving her mother-in-law alone at home.
When Lin Man went over, her mother-in-law was sitting on a lounge chair in the yard taking apart an old sweater.
As soon as Xiao Ya saw her eldest daughter-in-law and younger daughter coming, she immediately put down her old sweater.
"Manman, thank you for bringing Rourou back. I was planning to ask Junshan to bring Rourou back."
"Mom, how are you now? I brought Rourou to see you. Qingci and I plan to let her stay at home for a while.
Huo Rou took out two hard-boiled eggs from her pocket and stuffed them into Xiao Ya's hands. "Mom, eat eggs."
Xiao Ya looked at her little girl whose face was beginning to become rounder and said with a smile, "Mommy doesn't eat eggs, Rourou, be good and eat them yourself!"
"Mom, my nephew said these eggs are delicious, so I saved them for you and Dad." Huo Rou stuffed both eggs into her mother's hands without saying a word.
Lin Man looked at the little girl in surprise. She had never expected that her sister-in-law was reluctant to eat the eggs herself and brought them back for her parents-in-law to eat.
Xiao Ya bent down and wanted to hug her little girl, but Lin Man quickly stopped her, "Mom, your wound hasn't healed yet, it's best not to hug the child."
Huo Rou knew her mother had undergone surgery and felt sorry for her. She said, "Mom, I'm grown up and you don't want me to hold you."
Xiao Ya didn't expect that after she got a serious illness, her children became more and more sensible.
"Okay, Mommy won't hold you anymore. Let's go in and sit down!" Xiao Ya said, then looked at the basket on the ground. "Manman, why did you bring so many eggs?"
"Qingci said he wanted to nourish you."
"I'm fine, I don't need to eat eggs. Take these eggs back. Ningning and the others need to eat more eggs to replenish their brains for tuition."
Huo Qingci has saved at least three thousand eggs in his space. Today he will accompany his grandfather to the city. He may find time in the afternoon to deliver the eggs to his classmates and get rid of all those eggs.
Lin Man smiled and said, "Mom, there are still plenty of eggs at home, enough for the children to eat."
