Chapter 96
Huo's Backyard
Luo Chaoyan thought that she could spend a leisurely day at the farm today, so she got up early.
When Huo Jin walked in after morning exercise, he saw that she had woken up and looked at her with some confusion.
Luo Chaoyan was in a good mood and explained his doubts to him, saying, "My dear, I am going to stay at the manor for a few days today."
Huo Jin looked at her and asked, "Bored?"
"My dear, what you said makes me sound like a person who does not do his job properly." Luo Chaoyan rolled her eyes at him.
"no?"
Luo Chaoyan said confidently, "Of course not. I came to the manor on the orders of my grandmother to prepare a birthday banquet for Xiaorui."
She kindly reminded him, and added, "Xiao Rui's birthday will be in a few days, remember to give him a spare gift."
Huo Jin frowned, somewhat disapprovingly, and said, "You can give him a gift, but he is so young, there is no need to go through so much trouble to hold a birthday party."
"My dear, birthdays only come once a year, and we don't need to be extravagant. Xiao Ruike said that he wants to pick vegetables and cook for himself, so don't spoil her fun." Luo Chaoyan said.
"What's your idea?" Huo Jin raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
Luo Chaoyan didn't hide it at all and nodded, "It should be said that it was my and his idea."
Huo Jin had no choice but to let her go.
After they washed up and sat down to have breakfast, Huo An ran in.
He first bowed obediently to his parents, and only sat down on a chair beside them after receiving their nods.
Luo Chaoyan picked up a bowl and spoon and scooped a bowl of shredded chicken and meat porridge for Huo Jin. She looked virtuous and said, "My dear, I will not be at home these few days. You must take good care of yourself."
Huo Jin looked at her and said, "Since you are worried, then why don't you go?"
Cough cough!
Luo Chaoyan coughed lightly. She was just being polite. There was no need to take it too seriously, okay? It's so hard to get the chance to be a free bird in Zhuangzi, how can I miss it?
When Huo An heard his father say that he couldn't go, he immediately shook his head and said, "Father, I must go!"
"Yes, my dear, we have to go to the birthday party so that Xiaorui can have a happy childhood." Luo Chaoyan said with a serious expression.
Huo An smiled happily when he saw that his mother shared the same idea as him.
At this time, Yun Mo came in and bowed, saying, "Young Madam, the boxes and crates you ordered to be packed have been loaded onto the carriage."
Seeing Huo Jin suddenly emanating some chill, Luo Chaoyan couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Yun Mo was such a fool. Why didn't he know the situation and spoke such nonsense? Shulan and Fengli were sent away by her to settle accounts, and the only person she could use easily was Yunmo, but Yunmo was too ignorant of reading people's expressions.
"Haha! My dear, you also know that women have a lot of clothes, jewelry, rouge and powder, so I brought more."
Huo Jin pursed his lips, looked at her with cold eyes, and said, "I thought you were planning to live in the manor permanently, so you asked people to prepare so many luggage." How could a person who is so lazy on weekdays that she doesn't even like to put on a hairpin have too much rouge and powder?
"How could that be? I just brought some extra preparations for the birthday party." Luo Chaoyan laughed dryly.
As she spoke, she quickly picked up some food for him, and said in a flattering manner, "My dear, please eat quickly. You still have to go to the government office later."
Huo An drank his porridge slowly, and the smile on his face never stopped when he thought about going out to play with his mother later.
He looked at his father and suddenly felt a little sympathy when he remembered what his mother said about his father being busy with official duties all day and not even having time to play. He sighed softly and said to Huo Jin, "Father, how pitiful!"
Huo Jin's expression just seemed to have eased a little, but he suddenly became even colder.
Seeing his expression, Luo Chaoyan shook her head in her heart, "Little Fatty, little Fatty, it seems your mother forgot to tell you that you should never be too cocky when you are in power."
really!
Huo Jin looked at Huo An calmly and asked, "How many characters have you learned to write recently?"
Huo An put down his bowl and chopsticks, counted on his fingers, and said, "Three." His name.
"Very good, but too little. From today on, practice three more every day."
Huo An looked at Huo Jin in disbelief. Seeing his serious expression, his face suddenly fell and he said dejectedly, "Yes."
In order to comfort his wounded heart, Luo Chaoyan picked up some of his favorite dishes for him.
After the three of them finished their meal, Huo Jin went to the government office to handle official business. Before leaving, he looked at Luo Chaoyan with some deep eyes.
Luo Chaoyan felt as if she had done something unforgivable.
Huo An shook his little head, looked at his father's departing back, and suddenly he covered his mouth and smiled.
Luo Chaoyan poked his chubby face and said, "What are you laughing at?"
Huo An said, "Father, I can't bear to let you go."
Luo Chaoyan was stunned. Uh... this can't be possible! She only stayed for a few days, at most ten days or half a month.
Huo An shook his sleeves, imitated the old master's movements and expressions, shook his head and said, "It's unteachable!"
“Puff!”
When Fengli and Shulan came over, they saw him in this state and couldn't help laughing. They said, "Master An, you are right. The young lady is just a piece of rotten wood and cannot be educated."
Luo Chaoyan rolled her eyes at her and asked, "Have you finished checking the accounts?"
Fengli's face suddenly changed, and she flattered him, "Young Madam, the old lady and the others didn't ask you to settle the account immediately. Look, we have been working hard for so many days, it's not easy, please be kind and give us some time to breathe."
"Madam, you said that everything should be done with a balance between work and rest."
Luo Chaoyan was not a cruel person. The Huo family was a prominent family with a deep foundation. They did have a lot of accounts to deal with, and they had been really tired these days. In order to make them work better in the future, she had to give them some benefits.
"Okay, then you guys pack up and we'll go to the farm together."
Fengli was delighted when she heard that. Finally, she didn't have to worry about the calculations anymore.
Luo Chaoyan took Huo An to Madam Huo's courtyard to pay her respects, and then planned to set off.
When she arrived at the old lady's yard, she saw the old lady looking at her strangely. What happened today? Why does everyone act like she has let someone down?
Mrs. Huo saw her joyful expression and immediately shook her head. She looked so heartless. No wonder her grandson looked so surprised when he came just now. She asked, "Did you have a conflict with Ah Jin?"
Luo Chaoyan was stunned when she heard this, and quickly waved her hands, saying, "Absolutely not."
"A couple can only last long if they respect and love each other. Ah Jin has a cold personality and never shows his emotions, but he looked a little uneasy just now. Do you know why?"
"Forget it. I won't ask about the matters between you and your wife. I just hope that you can live together happily and harmoniously." She could see that her grandson cared about his granddaughter-in-law. He used to be a busy and cold-hearted person, but now he is an informed person.
Luo Chaoyan cupped her hands and said quickly, "Yes, granddaughter-in-law has made a note of it."
"Then don't you want to think of some way to coax her?" Mrs. Huo felt upset when she saw her answer so quickly. Does he really care about it, or is he just trying to scare her?
ah? How to appease this?
Mrs. Huo saw that she looked confused and immediately became angry. She said, "Can't you make him some clothes or something?"
hehe! Let her make clothes with her crippled hands? Even if Huo Jin dared to wear it, she didn't want her hands to be full of holes.
"Grandma, don't worry, I know what to do." Luo Chaoyan quickly expressed her opinion.
Mrs. Huo was satisfied only after seeing this, and then she reluctantly told her to take good care of Huo An.
After leaving the old lady's yard, Luo Chaoyan and Huo An looked at each other, then trotted happily to the gate.
