Chapter 782 (Page 1/2)
Huo Yingzi finally listened to everyone's advice and decided to stay home, while Huo Qingyan took his eldest son Huo Yichen to his brother Huo Qingci's residence.
As expected, just as Huo Qingyan had guessed, when they arrived, they saw their father, Huo Junshan, rushing towards them. Apparently, the old man had come to meet his eldest son after hearing the news of his return.
Downstairs, Huo Junshan happened to run into his son Huo Qingyan and his beloved grandson Huo Yichen. A hint of surprise appeared on his face, and he asked, "Why are you and your son suddenly here?"
Huo Qingyan's lips curled up slightly, and he replied with a smile on his face, "Dad, I heard that big brother is back, so I hurried over to have a few drinks with him and reminisce about the past! I think you probably heard the news too, so you rushed over to have a drink and chat with big brother."
Huo Junshan smiled softly upon hearing this, and said calmly, "Haha, that's not the case. I just stopped by to take a look."
As they were talking, the three of them had already stepped onto the stairs. As soon as they reached the door of Huo Qingci's house, a rich aroma of food hit them in the face, instantly penetrating their noses.
Huo Junshan took a deep breath and thought to himself, no need to ask, my son must have cooked a lot of meat dishes today.
At this time, Huo Qingci in the house had just put the rice pot on the table. He looked up and saw his father, younger brother and eldest nephew slowly walking into the house.
"Dad, Qingyan, you are here. Come and sit down!" Huo Qingci stood up and invited them to take a seat.
Seeing that there were three more people, Lin Man hurriedly got up and went to the cupboard to get three more sets of bowls and chopsticks. She thought to herself: I don’t know if there will be enough food tonight. If not, I’ll just order another bowl of noodles.
Seeing his son and grandson coming over to eat without saying hello, Huo Li said angrily, "You two, father and son, didn't even tell me you were coming over for dinner."
Huo Junshan smiled awkwardly, "Dad, I heard Qingci was back, so I came over to chat with him."
After Lin Man set the other three sets of bowls and chopsticks, she said to Huo Li, "Grandpa, let me make some more noodles."
Huo Li nodded and agreed. Huo Qingci grabbed Lin Man's hand and said, "Manman, you eat first. I'll cook the noodles."
Lin Man had no choice but to sit down. Fortunately, they had slaughtered a pig today, so they cooked a lot of dishes, about five or six in total, but the rice might not be enough.
After all, Huo Qingyan is a big eater and can eat five or six bowls of rice at a time. Even if his father-in-law eats casually, he will eat one or two bowls. The only one who can't eat is probably Huo Yichen. Sometimes he can't even finish a bowl of rice and he is always thin.
At this moment, Huo Qingci turned around and went to the balcony kitchen to cook noodles, while Lin Man warmly invited everyone to eat first.
At this moment, Huo Junshan's eyes were attracted by the big bowl of steaming and fragrant pork soup, which contained pig intestines, pig liver, pig lungs and pig blood.
He asked curiously, "I haven't had pig offal soup in a long time. Pig intestines, livers, and lungs are easy to buy, but where does this pig blood come from?"
Hearing this question, Huo Li quickly explained with a smile: "Today, when Qingci went to the farm to buy pork, the butcher was very generous and gave him half a bucket of fresh pig blood!
Look, he brought it back. There's still quite a bit left at home, so if you want some, just take some home when you leave.
You know, pig blood is a good thing. It can help clear the dust in the lungs. Smokers like you should eat more of it. It's good for your health!
Huo Junshan smiled and said, "I actually like eating pig's blood. I can eat a big bowl of pig's blood soup with leeks."
After hearing this, Huo Qingyan nodded in agreement and said, "Grandpa is absolutely right! I've been coughing non-stop at night because I've been smoking too much lately. Can I take some back too?" As he said this, he looked at Huo Li with anticipation.

Huo Li raised his eyes and stared deeply at Huo Qingyan in front of him, his eyes showing concern and worry. He slowly opened his mouth, his tone heavy and earnest, and said:
"Qingyan, listen to Grandpa's advice. You'd better quit drinking and smoking! As for alcohol, drink as little as possible.
As for cigarettes, you should smoke less. Think about it, if you smoke too much, your lungs will be blackened by the smoke, and what will happen if your body has problems?
Look at me, Grandpa. Ever since I quit smoking, I don’t cough as much even in winter.”
Hearing his grandfather's words, Huo Qingyan subconsciously reached out and scratched his head. An awkward smile appeared on his face, and he muttered softly, "Grandpa, I don't actually smoke that much. In a week, I only drink twice at most, and as for cigarettes, I only smoke half a pack a day at most."
Upon hearing this, Huo Li narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at him sideways, and retorted unhappily, "Huh! You're still young, and you think half a pack a day isn't too much? Do you have to wait until you smoke two packs a day to be considered a lot?"
Huo Qingyan felt a little embarrassed when his grandfather said that. He laughed dryly and tried to change the subject. Then he turned his gaze to his father, Huo Junshan, who was standing beside him, and said with a hint of cunning, "Grandpa, don't you see that Dad smokes too? He's been smoking for decades."
Huo Junshan, who had been listening silently to the conversation between the grandfather and grandson, did not expect that his son would suddenly drag him into the water, and he could not help feeling helpless.
He coughed lightly and quickly explained, "Although I've smoked for decades, I'm not a heavy smoker. I can actually finish a pack of cigarettes in four or five days, unlike you, who finishes a pack in less than two days."
Lin Man, who was sitting nearby, heard the argument between the father and son and felt secretly relieved.
She thought to herself that it was a good thing that her man was not like them, he rarely smoked.
When a customer handed him a cigarette, he would sometimes just hold it between his ears. He would only smoke one or two occasionally when he was in a bad mood or under a lot of pressure.
As for my brother-in-law Huo Qinghuan, I didn't see him smoking, but he learned to drink very quickly.
Not long after, Huo Qingci walked in carefully carrying a bowl of steaming and fragrant egg and lean meat noodles.
Seeing this, Lin Man quickly stood up and reached out to help him gently pull the chair away, and said with a smile: "Come sit down and take a rest."
Huo Qingci had a warm smile on his face. He thanked Lin Man softly and then sat down slowly.
Then, he turned his head, looked at Lin Man tenderly, and asked softly, "Manman, these noodles are so delicious, would you like to try some?"
Lin Man shook her head gently and replied, "No, I'd rather eat rice. But Yichen and Wenwen really love noodles, so why don't we get a bowl for each of them first?"
At this time, Huo Yixin, who was sitting next to him, suddenly interrupted and said, "Dad, I want to eat noodles too, but I still have a lot of rice in my bowl."
When Huo Qingci heard his daughter's words, his eyes immediately showed full of doting. He smiled and comforted his daughter, "It's okay, Xinxin. Just give Daddy the rice in your bowl, and Daddy will get you another bowl of noodles, okay?"
After hearing what her father said, Huo Yixin nodded happily and obediently handed the half bowl of rice in her hand to Huo Qingci.
Huo Qingyan, who was sitting opposite, saw this scene and couldn't help but laugh and teased: "Oh, big brother really loves Xinxin. He doesn't even mind Xinxin's leftovers!"
Huo Qingci retorted angrily, "You don't want to eat your Zizi's leftovers?"
