Chapter 569 Why? (Page 1/2)
Song Jingjing looked up and saw her cousin standing at the door like a door god. She couldn't help but laugh and shouted, "Okay, my little sister Xiaoxue, stop standing there like an idiot. Come over and have dinner!"
Hearing her cousin's wife's call, Tang Xue finally woke up from her dream and slowly walked over.
She came to the table and pleaded with a plaintive look on her face, "Cousin, can you help me find a matchmaker?"
Hearing this, Song Jingjing subconsciously turned her head to look at her husband Huo Qingyan beside her. Just as she was about to speak, Huo Qingyan interrupted her:
"Don't call me. It's useless even if you do. My dad said last night that he wanted to let that kid attend the art troupe's social evening party.
But he just refused to go. I guess he still hasn't figured it out yet, so, Xiaoxue, don't dwell on this issue anymore. But..."
At this point, Huo Qingyan paused for a moment, then continued, "If you really want to find a good man to marry yourself off, that's fine. I'll go and look for a suitable person for you later."
When Tang Xue heard this, her dull eyes instantly lit up, and she asked expectantly, "Brother-in-law, you're not planning on introducing me to a pilot as a partner, are you?"
Huo Qingyan couldn't help but laugh out loud after hearing this, thinking that Tang Xue was really naive.
He knew very well that those who could become pilots nowadays usually had complicated family backgrounds.
Moreover, in their military region, most pilots have already started families and careers. Those who are still unmarried and have children must be very selective and cautious in choosing a spouse.
They would definitely give priority to lesbians who are of equal social status and have comparable family backgrounds. How could they possibly be interested in a young girl from the countryside?
Thinking of this, Huo Qingyan still had a smile on his face, but his tone became a little helpless, "Xiaoxue, it's not so easy to find a suitable pilot."
Song Jingjing rolled her eyes and yelled in a bad mood, "Humph, then you keep saying you want to introduce Xiaoxue to someone, but I guess you don't want to help her find someone, do you?"
Hearing this, Huo Qinghuan was secretly delighted. This was great, thinking to himself, there was no need to introduce Tang Xue to someone who would suit his taste. So he quickly took advantage of the situation and said in a fake anger, "Okay, okay, then I won't introduce you, okay?"
Tang Xue, who was sitting opposite him, was full of complaints, muttering to herself: "My cousin is so talkative! How great it would be if my cousin-in-law could really introduce me to a partner?"
Even if she wasn't a pilot, she would be a junior officer. When she married an officer, her younger brother might be able to marry a city girl in the future.
Thinking of this, Tang Xue couldn't help but look at Huo Qingyan again and pleaded, "Brother-in-law, if you have a suitable partner, please introduce one to me."
Huo Qinghuan was a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and evaded the question, "Oh, this... this, you should ask your cousin to introduce you!
I'm afraid I'm not very discerning. If I don't make a good introduction and upset your cousin, I'll be in big trouble."
Seeing his response, Tang Xue was about to open her mouth to continue arguing, but Huo Qingyan was quick to interrupt and said, "Alright, alright, let's not discuss this for now. Let's eat quickly and talk about other things later."

After saying that, he no longer paid attention to others and simply lowered his head to start eating.
Every time you put a bite of food into your mouth, you can feel the strong salty taste spreading on the tip of your tongue.
As Huo Qingyan chewed his food, he secretly complained in his heart: Why is the food so salty tonight? It's really hard to swallow! It seems that his wife's cooking skills need to be improved.
Alas, these meats that my mother asked me to send to her with good intentions cannot be wasted like this.
After finally finishing this unsatisfactory dinner, Huo Qingyan looked up at Song Jingjing who was sitting opposite him and said:
"Jingjing, I'll cook the meat my brother brought today when I get home from get off work tomorrow. You don't have to do it anymore. Just tell Tang Xue to cook the rice in advance."
"Huo Qingyan, do you think the food I cooked tonight is unpalatable? Didn't you say that my cooking skills are not good and I just need more practice?"
"Didn't you say that when you were a girl at your parents' house, you often helped your mother cook? You've been practicing for so long, haven't your cooking skills improved?
Haven’t you noticed that the food you cook has no other taste except that it’s a little salty?
I think you should really learn how to cook from your sister-in-law. You should put the right ingredients and seasonings in every dish, and not just use oil and salt."
Huo Qingchen on the side nodded quickly, "Mom, there's still some salt in the fried egg I ate that hasn't melted."
Song Jingjing was about to have a heart attack! She could never have imagined that her husband and son would dislike her cooking so much.
Back then, when she was still at her parents' home, she often helped her mother cook, but her family never had any complaints about her cooking skills!
At this moment, she cried out with a feeling of grievance: "You two, father and son, are really enough. If you really dislike the taste of my cooking, then let Xiaoxue continue to cook from now on!"
At this moment, Huo Yichen suddenly said, "Dad, why don't you go to Xinhua Bookstore and buy Mom a cookbook? That way, Mom can cook according to the recipe and she won't make any mistakes again."
Hearing this, Huo Qingyan couldn't help but fall into deep thought. After thinking carefully for a while, he felt that the method proposed by his son was indeed feasible.
After all, if I let my daughter-in-law learn cooking from my sister-in-law, she probably wouldn't be able to bring herself to do that given her strong personality.
It would be better to buy her a cookbook. As long as she can strictly follow the steps in the book, even if the dishes she makes taste just average, at least they won’t be inedible.
So, Huo Qingyan nodded and said, "Okay, when I have time, I'll go buy a cookbook for your mother."
However, Huo Yichen seemed to have other ideas. He immediately said, "Dad, Wenwen and the others are going to the Xinhua Bookstore next week. Why don't you give me the money and I'll go with them? I also want to buy some nice comic books."
"I was wondering why you suggested I buy your mom a cookbook. So that's what you were thinking about. You wanted to buy a comic book?"
"Yes, Dad, can you give me a new comic book? My uncle gave Wenwen a new comic book."
