Chapter 252: Weird and Unnatural (Page 1/2)
There are so many fruits in Qingci Space that they are all eaten by livestock. So what if the little great-grandson wastes a pear?
Besides, there is only some saliva and snot on the pear. You can still eat it after washing it. How is it wasted?
Seeing his grandfather's unhappy face, Huo Wenjing stepped forward, tugged at his mother's sleeve and said, "Mom, go to the kitchen and help your sister-in-law!"
Yang Huiling was about to refuse when Huo Li said, "Fourth daughter-in-law, take the blow pot and get half a pot of rice wine from the jar. Heat it on the coal stove and drink it later."
When the weather gets cold, he wants to drink some hot rice wine to warm himself up.
Now that I know my eldest grandson has the space to farm, he can plant more glutinous rice next year and brew a jar of rice wine every year.
Yang Huiling didn't dare disobey her father-in-law's words, so she could only obediently help him heat up the rice wine.
When Huo Wenjing saw his mother go to the kitchen, he went to make a cup of jasmine tea for his grandfather and also made a cup for his father.
As soon as they sat down, Huo Qingci came over with a bowl of mushroom and egg soup. He gently put the soup back on the table, without saying a word, and went back to the kitchen to get the bowl of stir-fried shredded lettuce.
Huo Yining saw his father bring out two bowls of food, and quickly threw the pear core into the small ash bucket. Seeing that his brother was still using his front teeth to dig the pear, he took his hand and said, "Brother, don't eat the pear. Let's wash our hands and eat."
Huo Yian nodded like a chick pecking at rice, then quickly handed the saliva-soaked pear in his hand to Liao Sijie, saying in a baby voice, "Auntie, eat!"
"We are going to eat. Auntie doesn't eat pears. Put it away first and let An An eat it tomorrow."
Liao Sijie took the dog-chewed pear with a smile, placed it on the coffee table, picked up Huo Yian and said, "Come on, I'll take you to wash your faces and hands."
Liao Sijie helped Huo Yining and Huo Yian wash their faces and hands, and Lin Man had also finished cooking the last dish.
This time she made a total of four dishes, including the stir-fried shredded lettuce and mushroom egg soup that Huo Qingci served, as well as a braised chicken dish and a steamed fish head with chopped peppers.
The food and rice wine were all on the table. Lin Man turned off the stove, took off her apron and returned to the front yard.
Yang Huiling looked at the fish head covered in red peppers and said sarcastically, "Xiao Man, this dish is full of red peppers. How can the old man eat it?"
Facing Fourth Aunt Yang Huiling's sarcasm, Lin Man ignored her and explained to Grandpa: "Grandpa, the sour chili in this chopped pepper fish head is made with big red peppers, so it's not very spicy! Grandpa, you can eat it with confidence."
Huo Li nodded. "Yeah, I know. This pepper really isn't that spicy. Ningning can eat it."
Huo Wenjing really admires his mother. She always likes to put on airs and offend people in front of the younger generation, as if she is so powerful. It is really embarrassing.
"Sister-in-law, don't mind me. My mother has been suffering from internal heat recently and can't eat chili peppers, so she asked a few questions."
After Huo Wenjing finished speaking, he said to Yang Huiling, "Mom, you've been feeling hot lately. Drink more soup and eat some stir-fried shredded lettuce."
Yang Huiling widened her eyes, staring at the large plate of braised chicken in front of her, and the mouth-watering chopped pepper fish head next to it, and was speechless.
What on earth did this brat mean? When did she say she couldn't eat chili peppers because she had a sore throat? How dare he lie like that to stop her from enjoying a delicious meal!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Yang Huiling felt that she had wasted her time and energy loving this heartless guy.
At this moment, Huo Wenjing seemed to be completely unaware of his mother's anger. After suppressing his inner tension, he began to take the initiative to fill the rice wine glasses for his grandfather, father and eldest cousin.
Then he raised his glass, toasted everyone and apologized sincerely, saying that he was young and ignorant and almost hurt everyone.
After apologizing, Huo Wenjing thanked Lin Man and Huo Qingci repeatedly, his words sincere and his gratitude overflowing.

Lin Man observed Huo Wenjing with great interest, thinking that this man was usually very silent, so why did he seem like a different person today?
Is it really as the saying goes, one learns from one's mistakes, and only after experiencing setbacks can one wake up and gradually mature?
At this time, Huo Qingci said, "Okay, Wen Jing, stop standing and talking. Sit down! It would be awkward for you to thank your sister-in-law.
I just hope you can understand one thing: our family is in a relationship where we all prosper and we suffer together. If someone does something that harms the family's interests, then in the end, everyone will suffer."
Huo Li put down his wine glass and said, "Qing Ci is right. You must keep in mind the saying 'prosperity is shared by all, adversity is shared by all.'"
You can’t just think about yourself at any time. You must think carefully before making any decision, whether it will harm yourself or your family…”
Huo Wenjing felt a little embarrassed by what he said, and he apologized again with a red face: "Grandpa, big brother, big sister, I'm sorry! This time I have implicated everyone. I will never find a partner casually again and let others take advantage of me."
After Huo Wenjing apologized, the whole place fell silent. At this moment, Huo Yining came over with a bowl and said in a childish voice, "Dad, I want to eat a big chicken drumstick."
Huo Qingci heard his son's words, smiled, took a chicken leg from his own bowl and put it in his grandfather's bowl, then put another chicken leg into his eldest son's bowl and said to him gently, "Eat it quickly!"
Huo Yining happily took the chicken leg, said, "Thank you, Dad!" and began to enjoy it.
Huo Li, who was sitting nearby, was delighted to see his great-grandson enjoying the chicken drumstick so much. He was about to take the drumstick from his bowl and hand it to Huo Yining, saying, "Ningning, you can have some of the drumstick from Grandpa's bowl, too."
Seeing this, Huo Qingci hurriedly reached out to stop his grandfather and advised, "Grandpa, Ningning only needs one chicken leg. You can eat this one yourself."
Huo Yining originally wanted to say that one chicken leg was not enough, but when he remembered that his mother taught him to respect the elders, care for the young, and be humble like Kong Rong.
So he changed his mind and said to Taigong, "Taigong, the chicken legs are delicious, please eat them quickly."
After saying that, he picked up the chicken leg and took a bite, but immediately spit it out. Then he stuffed the chicken into his brother Huo Yian's mouth and said, "Brother, eat some meat."
When Huo Yian saw his brother stuffing the meat into his mouth, he swallowed it without hesitation.
He blinked his bright eyes, looked at his brother, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
Lin Man was about to say something to her son when Yang Huiling, watching this, started to say sarcastically, "Xiao Man, your Ningning is really sensible. He loves his brother so much that he even takes the meat out of his mouth and feeds it to his brother."
Lin Man picked up her youngest son and sat him on her lap. She said to Huo Yining, "Ningning, eat by yourself. Mom will feed your little brother. Also, don't put the food you put in your mouth and then put it back in your little brother's mouth. Got it? We have to pay attention to hygiene."
Huo Yining suddenly thought of something, and he fed the saliva-stained chicken to his younger brother. His mother said he was unhygienic.
He quickly apologized to Lin Man, "I'm sorry, Mom. I won't do this again next time."
Seeing her son apologize, Lin Man was very relieved. "Okay, Ningning, come and eat. After dinner, Mommy will boil some water for you to take a bath."
Huo Junlin felt that his niece-in-law had raised her two children very well. He thought that when their son Jing'er found a partner, he would definitely ask the matchmaker to choose a woman for his son who was as well-educated and well-mannered as his niece-in-law.
He must not be as petty as his daughter-in-law, otherwise his son will follow in his footsteps.
Lin Man felt that Fourth Aunt was a fussy person. Fortunately, she was not her mother-in-law, otherwise, she would have to listen to her nagging every day.
If Huo Wenjing becomes a mama's boy, it must be Fourth Aunt's fault.
