Chapter 812 (Page 1/2)
Lin Man prepared everything that needed to be prepared. Seeing that it was getting late, she packed the roast duck slices and put them into the oven one by one to continue baking for a few minutes.
Wait until the skin of the roast duck becomes crispy again before taking it out of the oven and starting to cook dinner.
Huo Qingci was busy in the space for the whole afternoon, but he didn't see Lin Man looking for him. He raised his hand to look at his watch and found that it was already six o'clock.
So I quickly washed my hands and left the space. When I opened the door, I saw that several dishes were already on the table.
Two plates of crispy and delicious roast duck, a bowl of duck bone and shredded radish soup, a plate of stir-fried pork with chili peppers, and a dish of cold water spinach.
Huo Qingci walked quickly to Lin Man's side, "Manman, why didn't you tell me to cook the meal yourself?"
"It doesn't matter who we do. You've been busy in the space all afternoon. You must be tired. I'll get some water for you to wash your face."
"No, I washed my hands and face in the space. The kids should be coming up soon, so let's not talk about the space."
Lin Man smiled, and sure enough, within two minutes she heard the children's footsteps. The four big babies of their family came back, followed by Huo Qingyan's eldest son Huo Yichen.
There is no doubt that it must be her good son Huo Yiwen, who told his good friend Huo Yichen that he would bring them roast duck when they went to the city today.
When Lin Man heard the cheerful footsteps and noise of children outside the door, a loving smile immediately appeared on her face.
She quickly put down the dishes she was arranging and walked quickly to the door to welcome the children back.
As soon as the children came in, Lin Man gently urged them, "Children, go wash your hands and get ready for dinner!"
At this time, Huo Yichen walked briskly to Huo Qingci, raised his head, showed a bright smile, and said in a low voice: "Uncle, I come to your house to eat again!"
Huo Qingci smiled at the clever little guy in front of him, reached out and gently rubbed his soft hair, and responded affectionately:
"Come on, kid, there's plenty of food in our house. You can eat as much as you want."
After saying this, his eyes involuntarily fell on Huo Yichen, and he secretly compared them in his heart.
He was surprised to find that although Huo Yichen and his son Huo Yiwen were of similar age, there was a clear difference in their body shapes.
Huo Yichen is not only much thinner than Huo Yiwen, but also a little shorter in height.
Thinking of this, Huo Qingci couldn't help but frown, secretly pondering the reason in his heart.
He turned to look at his eldest nephew and thought that his younger brother was not short. Could it be that this child inherited more genes from his mother Song Jingjing?
Or is it that he hasn't gotten enough nutrition? A series of questions flashed through Huo Qingci's mind.
After everyone was seated, Huo Qingci picked up his chopsticks without hesitation and picked up several pieces of fragrant roast duck.
He carefully put it into the small bowl in front of Huo Yichen until the whole bowl was full, then nodded with satisfaction.
He said to Huo Yichen earnestly, "Yichen, you must eat more meat so that you can grow tall and strong."
Huo Yichen looked at the delicious food in the bowl with great joy, his eyes sparkling with gratitude, and said sweetly, "Thank you, uncle!"
Seeing this, Lin Man, who was sitting next to him, glanced at Huo Qingci lightly.
Then she stood up and took a clean bowl from the cupboard, carefully filling a bowl of duck bone and shredded radish soup for Huo Yichen.

She gently reminded him, "Yichen, if you feel the roast duck is a bit greasy, you can drink some soup to moisten your stomach first."
Huo Yichen quickly turned around, smiled broadly at Lin Man, and replied obediently, "Thank you, Auntie!"
Huo Yining happily picked up a piece of slick, fragrant roast duck with his chopsticks and was about to put it in his mouth when he suddenly realized that his grandfather was not there. He couldn't help but frown and muttered to himself, "Oh my! We are having such delicious roast duck today, why don't we see my grandfather?"
Huo Qingci, who was sitting nearby, heard his son's question and replied with a smile, "Your great-grandfather, he went to your grandfather's house for dinner."
When Huo Yining heard this, a trace of regret appeared on his face. He sighed and said, "Oh, what a pity! Our family had such a delicious roast duck today, but Grandpa didn't get to enjoy it with us."
Huo Qingci looked at his son's lost look and couldn't help but chuckle, comforting him: "Silly child, don't be anxious.
We specially packed two roast ducks today, and your grandfather also took one back to his home, so you don’t have to worry about your great-grandfather not being able to eat the roast duck.
You should worry about whether these two large plates of roast duck are enough for you little greedy cats."
Huo Yining's thoughts were exposed by his father. He scratched his head a little embarrassedly, chuckled, and quickly explained: "Isn't it also respecting the elders? I wanted to let Grandpa have a taste of it."
At this moment, Lin Man, who had been silently listening to the conversation between the father and son, began to think to herself:
Grandpa has always loved his eldest son very much, and the eldest son also respects Grandpa very much. Whenever there is something delicious to eat or drink, he always thinks of Grandpa first.
It seems that the feelings between people are mutual, and sincere efforts will inevitably be rewarded with sincere feelings.
Huo Yichen took a bite of the roast duck in his hand absentmindedly, but his thoughts had already drifted away.
His eyes wandered and fell on his uncle's family sitting around the dining table.
The uncle and aunt were smiling and talking softly, occasionally helping each other pick up food with their chopsticks. Huo Yichen couldn't help but feel envious of the warm and harmonious scene.
Looking back at my own home, every meal is like a fierce battle.
His younger sister would always rudely compete with him and his younger brother for the few dishes on the plates, and his mother would often get angry at his younger sister's behavior and even slap her.
Such chaotic scenes happen almost every day, making the dining time that should have been relaxing and enjoyable become tense and depressing.
Huo Yichen shook his head helplessly and sighed softly. He thought that since he wouldn't be eating at home tonight, maybe his sister would be able to eat a few more bites of the delicious meat.
At this moment, his cousin Huo Yiwen nudged him with his elbow and urged, "Brother Chen, why are you daydreaming? Eat quickly. After you finish, let's go watch some exciting TV shows together."
Huo Yichen finally came to his senses after being reminded by his cousin. He forced a smile and said, "Okay, I'll eat it right away."
Then he chewed faster, but the feeling of difference in family atmosphere still lingered in his heart.
