The evil sister-in-law dressed as a yandere boss

Chapter 266 Mr. Huo is a good man

After Ma Qiang's matter was resolved, the quarry became busy because the Audit Department would send people to pull the stones.

Huo Xing had to keep an eye on him. Although he was not a particularly voracious person, the food in the quarry was really disgusting to him. It was okay in summer. At least he was eating vegetables. No matter how unpalatable it was, it would be bland at best. But in winter, when supplies are scarce, the food becomes even more unpalatable.

Liu Yun gave Huo Xing some food. Huo Xing took a look at it and found that it really challenged his vision. He would rather eat two white steamed buns.

Liuyun's expression was a little strange.

"What's wrong?" Huo Xing asked.

Liu Yun took out the steamed buns. There were some dark orange dots on the yellow steamed buns. On some buns, you could clearly see the traces of the fingers left before steaming the buns, and the fingerprints were clear...

Liu Yun said: "It seems that they put too much alkali."

Huo Xing breathed a sigh of relief and suppressed the anger in his heart.

Not everyone can work as a cook in the quarry. Huo Xing knows that there are many people here and nepotism is very serious. He is unwilling to touch these people unless he has to, and he will start soon. Being busy, Huo Xing endured it for the time being and planned to replace all these idiots in the spring of next year.

"What does Pei Zhan eat?" Huo Xing suddenly asked.

Pei Zhan was so picky that he didn't believe he could eat it.

Liu Yun said: "He and Li Hui left right after work."

Huo Xing thought for a while: "Let's go to Pei's house too."

Today the Pei family eats hot and sour noodles.

Tao Zhen's vermicelli was ready in those two days. He had a stewed meat dish two days ago. Pei Zhan thought it was okay. He still didn't like this kind of food. It was stewed together and made it sticky. But Li Hui was very fond of it. like to eat.

Today, Tao Zhen made hot and sour potato noodles. Pei Zhan had been salivating for a long time. He followed Li Hui home as soon as he got off work and smelled the fragrance before he even reached the door.

Li Hui swallowed and quickened his pace.

When Huo Xing came, the Pei family's hot and sour noodles had just come out of the pot. The casserole was a little slow to make. So far, only one pot had been made. Pei Zhan, Li Hui, Pei Heng, and Li Xuan couldn't wait, so they gathered around each other. Tao Zhen took a small bowl and divided the pot between them. Tao Zhen also baked pancakes for them to eat as their staple food.

Four people gathered around a table, sweating profusely while eating.

Li Xuan's face turned red and she kept sticking out her tongue to drink water.

Mrs. Pei was a little worried: "Is it too spicy?"

Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "Xiaoxuan has been unable to eat anything too spicy since she was a child."

Tao Zhen said: "I cooked something that is not spicy. Xiaoxuan and Xiaoheng can't wait."

Mrs. Liu shook her head helplessly, looked at Li Hui and Pei Zhan and said, "The two older ones can't wait."

Huo Xing came in at this time. He sniffed. Stimulated by the sour and spicy taste, a lot of saliva secreted in his throat, and he swallowed subconsciously.

Everyone was stunned when Huo Xing arrived. Pei Zhan swallowed the vermicelli in his mouth, and his lips became redder and more gorgeous because of the spicy food.

Even Huo Xing had to admit that from a man's perspective, Pei Zhan was also a beauty.

There was a lot of joy in the courtyard, and the atmosphere was somewhat peaceful due to Huo Xing's arrival.

"What's wrong, sir?" Pei Zhan asked.

Li Hui saw that Huo Xing was still a little stressed and didn't know what to say.

Huo Xing didn't know how to say that he was here to eat, or Liu Yun coughed and said, "Your Excellency, you haven't eaten yet."

Huo Xing: "..." You said it very euphemistically.

Pei Zhan frowned slightly, but Tao Zhen had already stepped forward and said with a smile, "Sir, come in and sit down. We also need to eat."

Mrs. Pei also went to prepare the dishes and chopsticks.

Huo Xing is regarded as a noble member of the Pei family and Tao Zhen, and he should be treated well both emotionally and rationally.

The two younger ones were removed, and on the table were Li Hui, Pei Zhan and Huo Xing.

Li Hui was embarrassed to eat more.

Huo Xing was also a little embarrassed.

When it comes to Pei Zhan, the newly baked casserole is given to Huo Xing first. His attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, but it is also the attitude towards guests. The Pei family has always understood etiquette, and this is something that cannot be said.

Huo Xing grew up in the north, and he also eats a lot of food.

Taozhen's hot and sour noodles are already delicious. Fried peanuts, coriander leaves, and Taozhen's own pickles are added to it, and paired with freshly baked butter cakes. Huo Xing's embarrassment just now is washed away by the delicious food. Well, he felt that if he could eat these things, he really didn't care whether he was shameless or not.

Tao Zhen made a portion for Liu Yun and asked him to eat with them. Liu Yun glanced at Huo Xing, and he sat down after Huo Xing agreed.

Apart from anything else, Tao Zhen's craftsmanship is not to mention. In comparison, the food in the quarry is like pig food.

Several men were about to go to work after dinner. Tao Zhen called Pei Zhan aside and said, "Next time you come back for dinner, ask Mr. Huo to come with you."

Pei Zhan frowned slightly.

Tao Zhen looked at him: "As a person, you must be grateful. Mr. Huo has helped us so much. What's wrong with letting him come for a meal?"

Pei Zhan nodded, of course he knew this truth, and Tao Zhen asked him to convey it without saying it himself. The discomfort in Pei Zhan's heart disappeared instantly.

After a few people left, Tao Zhen and the others started to eat. Tao Zhen explained what he meant, and Mrs. Pei nodded: "Yes, Mr. Huo helped us a lot."

Mrs. Liu also said: "Master Huo is a good man."

Although Huo Xing also had selfish motives, to Tao Zhen and the others, he was really a good person.

Li Xuan and Pei Heng were having fun, and Tao Zhen said, "Is A-Xuan old enough to be literate?"

Ms. Liu sighed: "How can we have such conditions here?"

Ms. Liu was right. When her family was exiled here, life was much more difficult than it is now. At that time, her family members were all dead, and she was in no mood to care about Li Hui, so that Li Hui didn't even know a few of them. After that, I stayed in the quarry all the time, and the few words I knew were long forgotten.

Mrs. Liu never felt anything was wrong until the Pei family arrived, and she regained some hope. After entering the city many times, Mrs. Liu felt that she had stayed in the exile village for too long and had not seen the outside world for too long.

She also regretted that she did not ask Li Hui to read and write, even though her family taught him.

Li Xuan is still young. Although she is a girl, Mrs. Liu does not think that women are inferior to men. She wants Li Xuan to learn to read, but unfortunately she does not have the conditions or time.

Tao Zhen believes that this is the norm for people in the exiled village. The children in the village repeat the life of their parents over and over again. Even when they grow up, they never think of leaving the exiled village. Their sense of right and wrong and their moral values ​​are very weak. If this continues, the village will be in trouble. There is no hope.

"If given the chance, would Auntie be willing to ask Li Xuan to read and write?" Tao Zhen asked.

Mrs. Liu nodded: "I am willing, but it's a pity where is such an opportunity?"

Pei Heng was lucky to be able to study. Mrs. Pei also felt that there was no hope, but Tao Zhen seemed to have her own ideas.
