Chapter 553: Concern from Huo Yiwen (Page 1/2)
Hearing what her mother-in-law said, Lin Man couldn't help but frowned and said with a worried look on her face:
"Mom, knitting is such a tiring job! You're not feeling well and you're still recovering, so you need to get enough rest! Don't let this wear you out, or you'll end up wasting your time!"
Xiao Ya waved her hand nonchalantly, "I'm just sitting around doing nothing. I don't have to work in the fields, so knitting a few sweaters is no big deal!"
After all, the body belongs to the mother-in-law herself. No matter how earnestly others persuade her, if the mother-in-law refuses to listen, what else can she do?
The two chatted for a full half hour, during which time Lin Man patiently helped her mother-in-law disassemble the small and exquisite sweater.
After the dismantling, she took Huo Rou home. On the way back, she stopped by the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some vegetables.
After returning home, she gently put the bags she was carrying on the ground, then slowly straightened up and let out a long sigh.
At this moment, Huo Rou blinked her bright eyes and said in a baby voice, "Sister-in-law, I want to watch TV!"
Hearing her sister-in-law's request, Lin Man smiled slightly, turned around and walked to the cabinet, and picked up the spare key that had been kept there at her grandfather's house.
Holding Huo Rou's hand, he walked to the door of the next door. He saw her carefully insert the key into the keyhole and twist it gently. With a "click", the door opened.
The two walked into the living room. Lin Man plugged in the TV, turned it on, and switched the channels a few times. She whispered, "Rou Rou, just watch TV here. I'm going to make you lunch."
"Okay, sister-in-law."
After making arrangements with her sister-in-law, Lin Man returned to her home. She first went to wash the vegetables she bought today.
Because I went late today, I didn’t buy fresh ribs and ended up buying a bare pork bone.
Lin Man planned to stew white radish, carrots and pork ribs together, then fry an omelet, stir-fry some shredded potatoes and steam a fish.
During the break, Huo Yichen hurried out of the classroom to go to the bathroom.
He jogged all the way to the restroom, took care of his personal problems, and then walked out slowly.
At this moment, a hand suddenly reached out and stuffed a green-shelled egg into his hand.
Huo Yichen looked up in surprise and found that the person standing in front of him was Huo Yiwen.
He asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Wenwen, what are you doing?"
Huo Yiwen replied with a smile: "Since you are so thin, I will give you an egg to nourish your body!"
Huo Yichen suddenly realized and quickly thanked him: "Oh, so that's how it is, thank you so much!
"But why did you come to the toilet to share the eggs with me? It doesn't taste good here, let's go quickly!"
Huo Yiwen shrugged helplessly and explained, "I don't want to either, but if I go to the classroom to look for you, what if your classmates see us?
They will definitely tell the teacher right away that you are eating secretly during class, and that will cause you big trouble!"
Hearing this, Huo Yichen couldn't help but grin. "Haha, that's right! Okay, I'll eat it on the way home from school later."

"Oh, I see! By the way, Wenwen, why doesn't your aunt come to school to pick you up after school recently? Do you go home with your classmates now?" Huo Yiwen asked curiously.
Huo Yichen wanted to say that his father did not allow his aunt to pick him up, nor did he allow his aunt to get close to his uncle again.
He nodded: "Yeah, Auntie stopped answering the phone a long time ago. I usually walk home with my classmates."
Huo Yiwen's eyes lit up and he invited enthusiastically, "Would you like to come to my house for lunch? The eight-treasure porridge my mother makes is absolutely amazing, so delicious!"
The chicken she cooked actually had a floral fragrance. I really don’t know how she did it. Maybe my mother was an imperial chef in her past life!
Huo Yichen also agreed with Huo Yiwen's point of view. He also thought that the food cooked by his aunt was particularly delicious.
"My aunt's cooking is really delicious. She's much better than my mom's. My mom's dishes only taste like salt, nothing else. She doesn't even use soy sauce. She even says that if children eat too much soy sauce, they'll turn black."
"Ah, doesn't Second Aunt use soy sauce when cooking? My mom puts a lot of soy sauce in the egg fried rice she makes for us, and I think egg fried rice with soy sauce is very fragrant.
My classmate thinks the food at home is not tasty, so he just eats it with rice mixed with soy sauce. Don't listen to your mother, dark skin is hereditary. Your mother is not as white as my mother, and your father is not as white as my father, so you are not as white as us.
"My mom said that my dad's body is very white, and his face is dark because of training. I'm not as white as you, maybe because my mom is not as white as my aunt! Oh... if only my aunt was my mom."
When Huo Yiwen heard that his cousin wanted to be his mother's son, he immediately became unhappy, "Brother Chen, you are actually white too, just not as white as me. Your sister is darker than you."
"My sister is dark because she likes to run around and doesn't like to wash her face, so she is dark."
Huo Yiwen smiled proudly, "Fortunately, my sister is as white as a peeled egg. Brother Chen, do you want to come to my house for dinner today?"
Of course Huo Yichen wanted to go, but he didn't tell his family. If he didn't go back at noon, his mother would definitely be worried.
He shook his head. "Forget it!"
The two walked towards the classroom while chatting happily.
Huo Yichen returned to the classroom, holding the egg but not wanting to eat it. Instead, he stuffed it into his schoolbag and prepared to eat it when he got home.
When Huo Yichen got home from school, he put down his schoolbag and just took out the egg when Huo Yingzi snatched it away.
Huo Yichen was stunned. He yelled, "Mom, my sister stole my eggs."
Song Jingjing gently placed her youngest son on the ground, then quickly reached out and snatched the egg back from Huo Yingzi. With a hint of anger on her face, she said, "Yingzi, why do you always snatch your brother's things? This is not good!"
"Hmph, Mom is partial and only cooks eggs for my brother but not for me!" Huo Yingzi pouted, looking unhappy, with tears of grievance flickering in her eyes.
Huo Yichen quickly explained, "My mother didn't cook this egg specifically for me, but Wenwen gave it to me.
He said I was too thin and needed to eat some more. If you want to eat eggs, you can ask Aunt Xue to cook them for you.
