Chapter 563: There's Nothing Wrong with Being a Little Biased (Page 1/2)
Lin Man originally thought that one big goose could make a big pot of stew, and adding a chicken would be enough to eat.
When Huo Qingci left, he said that his brother was a big eater, and Zhang Haijun was in his growth spurt and also a big eater, so he asked her to cook more rice and prepare two more dishes.
Lin Man thought that her eldest son Huo Yining was also a big eater. When he came across delicious dishes, he would eat with a big bowl. So she cooked a big pot of rice in a large rice cooker.
I felt that one chicken and one goose would definitely not be enough for them, so I added a lot of potato cubes when stewing the goose. I also made braised prawns, pan-fried hairtail cubes, stir-fried shredded lettuce, and pickled cabbage.
Wanting Huo Qingci to try the freshly made kimchi, he picked up another bowl of kimchi.
Lin Man's family consists of six people, plus grandfather and sister-in-law, so there are eight people eating every day. There are three more people tonight, making a total of eleven people. Only little Huo Rou can sit at the coffee table to eat.
The little one doesn’t care. As long as she can eat strawberries after dinner, you can let her sit anywhere to eat them.
When she sat at the table to eat, her arms were not long enough to pick up the food, so she had trouble picking it up. So she sat on a small stool next to the coffee table, with the bowl of food right in front of her, allowing her to pick up food however she wanted.
Lin Man thought there would only be three more people tonight, but it turned out to be six more people, including her parents-in-law and Huo Qingyan.
Wow, in the end Huo Yixin, Huo Yiwen and Huo Yian all had to pick up their food and sit on the sofa to eat.
As soon as Huo Junshan entered the house, he explained to Huo Qingci, "Qinghuan said at noon that we'd eat goose tonight, so I asked your mother to come over."
Huo Qingyan said confidently: "Chenchen said he would come over for dinner tonight, so I came over to have a free meal and take Chenchen home."
In fact, he heard his son say at noon that his eldest brother's family would eat goose tonight, so he came over to eat.
Huo Qingci smiled and said, "You're here, so come in and sit down. Luckily, Manman cooked a big pot of rice today."
Lin Man was also glad that she cooked a large pot of rice tonight and made two extra dishes. She thought it should be enough to eat, and if it was not enough, she would have to make noodles.
During the meal, Huo Junshan wanted to pick up some goose meat for his wife, but was stopped by Huo Qingci.
"Dad, goose meat is an allergy-inducing food, so Mom shouldn't eat it for now. Don't eat that kimchi either. You can eat some green vegetables and potatoes instead."
Xiao Ya looked at the kimchi in the bowl and asked, "Goose meat is a hairy food and can't be eaten. Does that mean kimchi can't be eaten either?"
She especially likes the kimchi made by her daughter-in-law. The kimchi made this time is sweeter and crisper than in previous years.
"Mom, you're still recovering, so eat less vegetables."
Lin Man didn't expect her parents-in-law to come over. Goose is an allergic food and her mother-in-law can't eat it. Kimchi is a pickled vegetable and she should eat it less. Fish and shrimp are seafood and are also allergic foods and they can't be eaten either. It seems that her mother-in-law can only eat vegetables.
"Mom, how about I fry two eggs for you?"
"No, just give me a basket of eggs. I'll eat eggs every day these two days. I don't like goose, so I'll just eat potato chunks."
"Mom, how about I go make you a bowl of noodles?"
"No, I haven't had much appetite since the surgery. I can only eat half a bowl of rice per meal."
Lin Man sighed. People still need to take care of their bodies. If you are seriously ill, there are many things you can't eat, especially for cancer patients who have undergone surgery. Frequent consumption of irritating foods can easily lead to a recurrence of cancer.
Lin Man watched as everyone was wolfing down the food. Her mother-in-law only ate some potato cubes and half a bowl of rice before putting down her chopsticks. She couldn't help but feel moved.
She immediately stood up, went to the room, brought out a plate of washed strawberries, and placed it on the coffee table.
"Mom, sit down and have some fruit!"
On the plate, the fresh and juicy strawberries exude an attractive luster like rubies, making people salivate at the sight.
Huo Rou, who still had a few mouthfuls of rice in her bowl, saw the strawberries right in front of her. She stopped eating and couldn't wait to reach out to grab those tempting fruits.
Xiao Ya, who was about to ask where she bought these strawberries, looked at her daughter who was feasting on them and asked Huo Rou curiously, "Rou Rou, are these strawberries really that delicious? They're so delicious that you can't even finish your meal!"
Huo Rou raised her head, with a strawberry in her mouth, and answered vaguely: "Mom, let me tell you, strawberries are the most delicious fruit. I like them the most."
As she spoke, she quickly grabbed another strawberry and stuffed it into her mouth, a satisfied smile on her face.
Seeing this, Xiao Ya couldn't help but pick up a strawberry, put it in her mouth, and took a small bite.
In an instant, the sweet strawberry juice bloomed between her taste buds, as if a stream of clear spring was flowing through her, leaving her with an endless aftertaste.
She couldn't eat the rice, but she could probably eat a bowl of strawberries. Xiao Ya couldn't control herself, and after finishing one, she took another and ate several strawberries in a row.
Just then, when she raised her hand to take another strawberry, she suddenly found that the pain caused by the wound under her armpit had been relieved a lot.
My chest, which had been feeling a little stuffy, gradually felt relieved and was no longer as uncomfortable as before.
She had suffered from anemia due to surgery and became afraid of cold. After eating strawberries, she found that her body became warm.

Xiao Ya didn't know whether this was a psychological effect or an illusion caused by the large crowds of people today and her excessive excitement.
Xiao Ya was filled with confusion and couldn't help asking, "Where did you buy these strawberries? They're so delicious! It's strange that there are still strawberries in this season. The supply and marketing cooperative doesn't seem to be selling strawberries, right? Qingci, where did you get them?"
Huo Qingci opened his mouth to answer, but Huo Li put down his glass and interrupted, "I can't tell you where the strawberries came from, because the supply and marketing department certainly didn't sell them."
Huo Junshan always felt that his father and his son were hiding a big secret, but he never found out what the secret was.
He only knew that his son could easily bring back all kinds of supplies, and the family was never short of food and fruits.
Although he had never been to the black market, he knew that not all goods were sold there.
So where did these strawberries come from? Are they still available this season? Could they be a new variety developed by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences?
Isn't Qingci's cousin a leader at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences? Did Qingci go to see him?
That grafted colorful rose under the window, was it something he got from his cousin to please his daughter?
Huo Junshan laughed and gave his father a piece of goose, "Dad, please eat more meat."
"I'll do it myself, you eat."
Huo Qinghuan and Huo Qingyan knew that they could not ask questions that their grandfather did not allow them to ask. They did not care where these things came from, as long as they tasted good.
After dinner, Zhang Haijun asked to go back to the dormitory. Seeing that he was about to leave, Huo Qingci went back to his room and gave him a bag of fruit, which contained four apples, a dozen oranges and a pound of strawberries.
By the way, he gave him the old clothes that his wife had sorted out, and reminded him: "Hainan, remember to put on more clothes when the temperature is low in the morning and evening. These are the clothes that Ningning can't wear anymore. Take them for now. Your Aunt Lin will buy you a new set of clothes next week."
"Thank you, Uncle Huo, and Aunt Lin. I'm leaving now."
"Okay, take your time. Come over for dinner when you have time."
As soon as Zhang Haijun left, Huo Qingci said to Huo Qinghuan, "Qinghuan, next Saturday your sister-in-law will be taking the children back to the courtyard. Rourou is going too, so you should go too! Your sister-in-law can't take care of five children by herself."
Huo Qinghuan already knew that his elder brother had invited him to dinner just to discuss this matter. He nodded and said, "Okay, I know Wenwen is going to the Xinhua Bookstore to buy books, and I also want to go there to buy some review materials."
Huo Junshan looked at his youngest son's coat, which was a little too short. He said, "Qinghuan, since you're going to the city next week, buy yourself a new coat. Buy yourself a coat at the end of the year. That way you'll be more likely to be liked by girls."
Huo Qinghuan curled her lips and said, "Dad, the clothes I wear are not meant to attract the attention of lesbians. Besides, my monthly salary is so low that I can't even afford a regular coat, let alone a woolen coat."
Seeing that there were no outsiders at home, Huo Qingyan joked, "Don't you have some small yellow croaker? Didn't your sister-in-law give it to you when Grandpa divided the family property?"
Huo Qinghuan was speechless, "Brother, I know your pilots' flight suits are very handsome, especially the winter ones.
I'm just an ordinary loan teacher, I don't have any savings, and my salary is not high, how can I spend money?"
Huo Junshan originally just wanted his youngest son to dress up well and find a partner to get married as soon as possible, but who would have thought that the two brothers would argue about this matter.
So he frowned, raised his voice and said, "Okay, stop arguing, and be quiet! Qinghuan, if you don't have money, I'll pay for the clothes.
Also, the art troupe is holding a social dance next month, so you must go and take a good look at it then."
Hearing this, Huo Qinghuan looked at Huo Junshan with a puzzled look and asked:
"Dad, have you forgotten? Didn't my second brother's first wife come from the art troupe?
Now you're thinking of asking me to go to the art troupe to participate in some social activities, but I won't go!"
Huo Junshan heard that the new dancers recruited by the art troupe were young and very beautiful.
My youngest son is handsome and talented. If he can find a beautiful girl from the art troupe as his wife, his grandchildren will definitely inherit the good genes of their parents and look exceptionally handsome and cute.
The wife that the second son has married now is far inferior to the eldest son's wife in every aspect, except for family background.
In fact, if the eldest daughter-in-law recognized her biological parents, her family background would definitely not be worse than that of the second daughter-in-law.
I heard that after the new leader took office, the Wang family collapsed and Mr. Qiao retired, but Xiaoman's biological father Qiao Yan was promoted.
The three children of the second family are far inferior to the four children of the eldest family in terms of appearance and temperament because of the second daughter-in-law's drag.
As the saying goes, everyone loves beauty! This is a fact that is obvious to everyone.
What's more, the children of the older family all have very high IQs, so there's nothing wrong with him being a little partial.
