Chapter 59: The Newlyweds
Hearing this, Lin Yuxue raised her head curiously and looked at Huo Chiguan, but Huo Chiguan was also puzzled: "Has Mr. Mei settled in City A before?" ”
For Lin Yuxue's grandmother and parents, Huo Chiguan has a careful understanding, but her uncle Mei Rushi does not often appear in the public eye, so Huo Chiguan only knows that the relationship between Mei Yuxue and Lin Yuxue is not particularly close, so he does not have a deeper understanding.
However, looking at the current situation, since Lin Yuxue will bring him to visit Mei Rushi, it obviously shows that Mei Rushi's uncle's status in Lin Yuxue's mind is not low.
Hearing Huo Chiguan's question, Mei Rushi nodded, and then said: "That was the early years, I returned to City D eight years ago, and I haven't been to City A again." As she spoke, Mei Rushi pointed to her legs.
Huo Chiguan understood, and then said, "It's the first time I've come to D City. ”
Mei Rushi nodded, turned around and said as she walked inside: "That's probably because I'm an old man, and everyone is familiar with each other, don't blame it!" ”
Lin Yuxue looked at Huo Chiguan, listening to Mei Rushi's ridiculous words, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
There are many old friends of the Mei family in City D, and there are many people who Mei Rushi only met after returning from City A, most of these are farmers near Mei Rushi's house, because Mei Rushi often buys some agricultural products from them in real time, and the land is ripe after coming and going.
I don't know who first saw Lin Yuxue and Huo Chiguan, who both had outstanding appearance and temperament, and as soon as they went back and said in front of everyone, the rumor that two good-looking young people came to Mei Rushi's house spread.
As soon as the news spread, the villagers, who rarely came to the door except to deliver agricultural goods, came to Mei Rushi's house in an endless stream and took the initiative to sell some agricultural products to them.
Of course, even if Mei Rushi didn't buy it, they would not be disappointed, because it depended that Lin Yuxue and Huo Chiguan's purpose had been achieved.
But Mei Rushi's personality has never been able to see others run in vain, even if he knows that everyone is a drunkard and does not want to drink, he will symbolically buy something down.
Just a few days later, the small kitchen of Mei Rushi's house was almost full.
It just so happened that the maid at home asked for leave that day, and Mei Rushi simply called Lin Yuxue and Huo Chiguan over, and pointed to a large pile of things in the kitchen without seeing it, and asked them to be responsible for preparing dinner for the three of them.
Mei Rushi can be said to know nothing about Huo Chiguan, and she didn't have the heart to investigate him. In his opinion, everyone's marriage, love and fate are in his own hands, and since he is the person Lin Yuxue has identified as the person he wants to spend his life with, there is no point for him to do anything more.
It is precisely because Mei Rushi has such a view of marriage and love and life, so although he doesn't approve of Mei Shuangdan's marriage, he won't interfere, but Lin Yuxue really has a pitiful charm.
After Mei Rushi finished explaining the "task", she left the kitchen, leaving Lin Yuxue and Huo Chiguan standing in the kitchen where they had no place to stay, staring wide-eyed, not knowing where to start.
It was Huo Chiguan who reacted first: "It's just dinner for three people, I'll come." ”
As he spoke, Huo Chiguan took off the jacket of his casual suit and put it on the dining chair not far away, then rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, and bent down to check the ingredients on the ground.
When he saw that there was still a bag of leeks on the ground, Huo Chiguan's face changed slightly, and then he quietly and gently picked up the bag of leeks and put it on the other side.
Lin Yuxue keenly captured Huo Chiguan's action, and found that he only used one finger to hook the bag containing leeks and immediately washed his hands that were not dirty, and suddenly smelled an unusual message.
"Huo Chi Guan."
Huo Chiguan, who had just washed his hands, did not doubt that he was there, and responded: "Huh?"
In the next second, Lin Yuxue said with a little amusement: "You hate leeks? ”
Huo Chiguan's eyes moved slightly, and Lin Yuxue's smile was reflected in his eyes at the moment: "Well, it's very annoying." ”
After hearing what Huo Chiguan said, Lin Yuxue immediately cheered, with cunning in her eyes: "Okay!" Then let's eat leek dumplings! ”
Lin Yuxue's voice fell, and Huo Chiguan's face changed slightly: "Nonsense." ”
"Where's the nonsense? I'm serious! I remember that my uncle liked the taste of leeks very much! Lin Yuxue said, bouncing and running out: "Uncle! ”
Mei Rushi, who was sitting in the living room not far away, heard the movement and couldn't help but tilt her head: "What's wrong?" ”
Huo Chiguan followed out of the kitchen, and heard Lin Yuxue say: "Uncle, do you like leek dumplings?" Shall we make you leek dumplings? “
If Huo Chiguan's face only changed slightly just now, then it can be said that it has changed dramatically at this time.
"Like, what's wrong? Yuxue wants to make it for her uncle? Mei Rushi closed the newspaper in her hand, and looked at Lin Yuxue and the two with some love and some amusement.
"That's... It depends on Huo Chiguan. Lin Yuxue deliberately took a step back and grabbed Huo Chiguan's hand, grabbed his arm, and looked up at him with blazing eyes.
To Lin Yuxue's surprise, before Huo Chiguan could answer whether it was good or not, Mei Rushi opened her mouth again: "Uncle knows that you have filial piety, but now that my uncle's body doesn't have to be before, you can't eat more leeks." ”
As soon as Mei Rushi's words were finished, Lin Yuxue's little face suddenly collapsed, like a child who wanted to play a prank but couldn't get it.
Huo Chiguan saw it in his eyes, and the tenderness and sweetness in his eyes were almost dripping out.
Mei Rushi was mistaken, and hurriedly asked, "Yuxue likes to eat leeks now?" ”
Hearing this, Lin Yuxue immediately shook her head: "No, no, no, since you don't eat it, uncle, then we... Let's look at something else! ”
After speaking, Lin Yuxue, whose cheeks were slightly red, hurriedly pulled Huo Chiguan back to the kitchen, then let go of her hand, looked down at the mountains of ingredients piled up on the ground, and couldn't help but feel bitter.
Huo Chiguan put on an expression that was not easy to mess with, and approached Lin Yuxue step by step.
Lin Yuxue's little prank just now failed to achieve it, but it was still recognized, and she suddenly became nervous, and hurriedly dodged to the side, but unexpectedly tripped over something under her feet, and instantly fell to the side with an unstable center of gravity.
Before Lin Yuxue could scream, Huo Chiguan quickly grabbed her and enclosed her in the space between himself and the kitchen stove.
Lin Yuxue was angry and looked down: "Potato!" ”
"Then tonight, let's eat potatoes." Huo Chiguan looked at Lin Yuxue intently, with a smile in his eyes, and coldly pecked Lin Yuxue on the lips.
"Well, it should be delicious." Leaving her lips, Huo Chiguan pointed to something, glanced at Lin Yuxue meaningfully, and then leaned down and picked up the bag containing the potatoes and walked in the direction of the sink.
Lin Yuxue stood up straight, pressed tightly against the stove, her cheeks slightly flushed.
Not long after, Huo Chiguan personally prepared four dishes and one soup, and when it was served to the table, Lin Yuxue couldn't help but exclaim.
"Huo Chiguan, is there anything else you can't do?" Lin Yuxue looked at the dishes on the table, which were full of color and flavor, and her stomach, which didn't feel hungry, seemed to want to scream in an instant.
"Wash your hands and call your uncle to eat." Huo Chiguan was setting up the dishes and chopsticks, the sleeves of his shirt were pulled up to his elbows, and he was wearing an apron around his waist, where was he still like Huo Shao, the cold-faced boss of the shopping malls in this province?
It's like a decent family cook, Lin Yuxue thought.
Mei Rushi was also full of praise for Huo Chiguan's cooking skills, and praised two rare words, which made Lin Yuxue couldn't help but be surprised.
You must know that although Mei Rushi is very gentle, he rarely praises people. Huo Chiguan was praised by Mei Rushi because of this table of dishes? It's also too fantastical.
Living in Mei Rushi's half-urban and semi-rural home, Lin Yuxue felt that the pace of life had slowed down, and it seemed that the air had become more comfortable.
Huo Chiguan would work in his room for three hours a day, and he was almost inseparable from Lin Yuxue other times.
After more than a week, the two have indeed gotten along like an ordinary newlywed.
Today, most of the farmers in the village have a good harvest, and this year's agricultural market is much more active, so many people do not need to go to the market or wholesale market to find a market, but have successively received customers from other places.
Many farmers who grow strawberries have simply started the business of strawberry picking gardens, allowing tourists to pick strawberries in person, which not only earns more, but also has less variety.
I don't know which good deeds saw Huo Chi's car parked outside Mei Rushi's house, and recognized it as valuable, and suddenly rumors in the village began to spread again.
At first, Lin Yuxue only heard some people discuss Huo Chiguan's identity and didn't pay much attention to it, but when she saw that some villagers brought their daughters to visit "Mr. Huo" at her uncle's house, her tone and face became unpleasant.
Looking at the girl in front of her who seemed to be dressed up about three or four years older than herself, Lin Yuxue was a little angry, and turned her head sideways to the middle-aged woman standing beside the girl and said, "Sixth aunt, you brought your sister Tongtong to find my husband, what's the matter?" ”
This sixth aunt is not related to Lin Yuxue, but there is a six-character in the name, and the people in the village call it so.
The girl named Tongtong didn't seem to resist being brought to see anyone, and hurriedly said, "What sir? We want to see your husband. ”
Hearing this, Lin Yuxue was stunned for a moment, and then a wave of anger climbed up her eyebrows: "That's what my husband meant!" ”
The expressions of the sixth aunt and Tongtong were no different, and then they asked again: "When are you free?" ”
Lin Yuxue didn't want to answer this question anymore, so she casually told a harmless little lie, so she simply closed the door, out of sight and out of mind.
At this moment, Huo Chiguan had just finished his work affairs and walked out of the room, and at a glance he saw Lin Yuxue who was sitting on the sofa in a bad mood.
Huo Chiguan stepped forward: "What's the matter?" ”
When Lin Yuxue saw Huo Chiguan's handsome face, she immediately thought of the sixth aunt and Tongtong who were not ashamed of her words, and she was immediately angry.
