Chapter 646: Die for Respect and Suffer in Life (Page 1/2)
After the beef rolls were cut, Huo Qingci began to clean the machine and then put it back to its previous position.
Then he went to the refrigerator, took out a few tomatoes, washed them, and then began to make the soup base and wash the vegetables in an orderly manner.
He thought that every time Lin Man ate hot pot with him in the space, she liked to squeeze a pot of juice, so he took out all the oranges from the backpack without hesitation and prepared to squeeze orange juice for her himself.
As the juicer began to work happily, the rich aroma of fruit instantly filled the entire kitchen. In a short while, a pot full of orange juice appeared before my eyes.
Huo Qingci carefully poured out a cup, then tiptoed towards the living room carrying it.
He walked over to the coffee table, slowly put down the cup, and whispered, "Manman, try my freshly squeezed juice, it's so sweet! Wait a moment, I'll bring out the hot pot stove and those delicious dishes, and we'll be able to enjoy a steaming hot pot meal soon."
Hearing this, Lin Man raised her wrist to glance at her watch, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile, and responded softly: "Oh, it's only 4:50 now. Isn't it a bit too early to have dinner at 5 o'clock?"
However, Huo Qingci shook his head repeatedly and answered seriously: "Not early, not early, baby. If we finish eating early today, we can rest early at night." After saying that, he winked at Lin Man, and a barely perceptible cunning light flashed in his eyes.
How could someone as smart as Lin Man not know what Huo Qingci meant by "go to bed early"?
She couldn't help but rolled her eyes at him coquettishly, and said in a pretended angry tone, "Huh, how can anyone be like you? You want to sleep as soon as you finish your meal.
No, you have to write a letter to each of the children later, and I will give it to them for you when I go back in a few days."
Upon hearing this, Huo Qingci's face immediately showed surprise, and he cried out in pain: "Manman, are you deliberately trying to punish me? A child has to write a letter, then I won't be able to sleep tonight...
Manman, can I write to the children in a couple of days? I feel that we lack communication. We need to have a good and in-depth discussion later."
Lin Man said angrily, "You just talk nonsense, Qingci. Although you look young now, you are actually not young anymore. You should start learning how to maintain your health so that you can live a long life."
Huo Qingci thought to himself, could it be that Manman was not satisfied with his previous performance? Although he didn't know how the other male comrades were fighting, he felt that his current condition was very good?
Huo Qingci brought the ingredients and hot pot to the table, plugged the power back in, and then suddenly disappeared.
Lin Man didn't think about why Huo Qingci suddenly returned to her own space. She put away the wool of the sweater she had not finished knitting, then got up and went to the kitchen to wash her hands and prepare to eat.
Have dinner early and go to bed early tonight. She didn't sleep well on the train these two days because the men sleeping opposite her snored like whistles. She hoped that she would not encounter this situation again next time she went back.
Lin Man had just washed her hands and was slowly sitting down at the table when Huo Qingci suddenly appeared before her like a ghost, holding a bottle of brown medicinal wine.
"Qingci, are you going back to the space to get some wine? Could it be the tonic wine we made before?" Lin Man asked curiously.
Huo Qingci smiled slightly, shook the bottle in his hand, and replied: "Yes, this is the tonic wine we carefully prepared before - deer blood wine. Manman, you always say that I am old and need to take good care of my body. I need to nourish myself well tonight..."

Lin Man rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "I told you to be more restrained and cultivate your character, but I didn't tell you to guzzle this tonic wine!"
She thought Huo Qingci was holding a tonic wine made from various Chinese herbs, but she didn't expect it to be a deer blood tonic wine.
This is bad! Lin Man secretly complained in her heart, this guy actually planned to drink deer blood wine tonight, wouldn’t she be doomed?
Thinking of this, she quickly said, "Um... Qingci, the grape harvest in Siheyuan is good this year, and I made a lot of wine this year. Would you like to try it?"
However, Huo Qingci shook his head and decisively refused, "Manman, wine and hot pot don't go well together, let's save it for next time.
Besides, I haven't tasted this deer blood wine for a long time. Can you let me drink some? I won't drink too much, just two cups will be fine."
When Lin Man heard this, she panicked and pleaded: "Qingci, can you please not drink this wine tonight? Didn't you just squeeze so much fresh and delicious juice? Why don't we drink some juice together?"
"Manman, this pot of juice is squeezed for you. I will only drink two cups of deer blood wine and never drink too much. Just promise me! You see, I don't usually drink deer blood wine. I only dare to drink it while you are here..." Huo Qingci pleaded pitifully.
Lin Man sat at the dining table, glancing at her husband Huo Qingci sitting opposite her from time to time. If this guy dared to drink deer blood wine while she was away, it meant that he must have another woman outside.
At this moment, Lin Man seemed to have suddenly thought of something interesting. The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a sly smile, and she said, "Qingci, you also wanted to drink deer blood wine even when I wasn't around. Could it be... could it be that you have someone else outside?"
After she finished speaking, she blinked and stared at Huo Qingci with a half-smile. Hearing his wife's words, Huo Qingci was stunned at first, then quickly waved his hand and explained:
"Manman, please don't say such nonsense! A wife as beautiful and gentle as you is hard to find, so how could I possibly cheat on you and find another woman? That's like trying to find a way out with a lantern in the toilet—it's like courting death!"
Seeing Huo Qingci's confident statement, Lin Man chuckled, "You wouldn't dare!" After that, she stood up and walked to the kitchen to prepare the hot pot dipping sauce.
After a while, Lin Man returned to the dining table with two prepared hot pot dipping sauces. After placing them on the table, she began to put various ingredients into the pot with great interest.
At this time, Huo Qingci unscrewed the cap of the wine bottle and filled his glass with wine. Lin Man glanced at him but did not stop him.
Huo Qingci sipped the deer blood wine in small sips and finished the glass of wine before he even started eating the hot pot.
Fortunately, Huo Qingci only drank a glass of deer blood wine, then put down the glass and stopped drinking.
"Manman, this deer blood wine is really strong. I can't drink more than one glass. I'm afraid I'll get a nosebleed if I drink too much."
Lin Man advised: "Then don't drink it."
She wondered if the effect of this deer blood wine was much stronger than that of ordinary deer blood wine. Otherwise, with Huo Qingci's usual level, it would be impossible for him to drink just one glass of wine.
As she thought about it, she stole a glance at Huo Qingci, whose face was now flushed and eyes were blurred, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
I thought: This guy is so obsessed with face that he suffers in vain. I told him to cultivate his character, but he secretly drank health-preserving wine. Now he can't stand it anymore, right?
"Qingci, don't just sit there and stare blankly! Eat more beef to replenish your body..." Lin Man picked up a piece of tender beef with chopsticks and put it in the bowl in front of Huo Qingci.
