Chapter 592: Kick on the nose and hit the face

"So fast? Uncle Xiaoqiao's efficiency today is quite good."

"Aunt Hongxia, go take it, I'll wash this pot."

Chen Hui said this casually while looking for something to cover the large basin containing soaking seafood.

"okay!"

Guo Hongxia walked out the door in a hurry.

Chen Xiaoqiao came back with a large water tank and walked in from behind the partition, and the two almost bumped into each other.

"Oh, Sister Hongxia, please be careful not to hurt it."

Chen Xiaoqiao held the buns in one hand and soy milk in the other, while also holding the ears on both sides of the water tank.

He twisted his waist and dodged nimbly.

"Oh my God!"

"Xiaoqiao, don't move, let me take a look!"

Guo Hongxia pressed Chen Xiaoqiao's shoulder.

Looking at the big octopus frozen in the tank, its wide-open mouth couldn't close for a long time.

"It's huge, right? It's scary, right?"

"It's a good thing it's frozen. If it were fresh, I'd be afraid it would suddenly wrap me up," said Chen Xiaoqiao.

"Well! This thing looks scary when it grows so big. Where did you get it?" Guo Hongxia asked.

"It wasn't me. Chen Hui got it."

"I guess he was caught from the sea." said Chen Xiaoqiao.

"Impossible! When I go fishing and see a small one, it's hard to get it into a bucket."

"How is it possible to bring it back from the sea when it's so big?"

Guo Hongxia shook her head in disbelief.

He took the water tank from Chen Xiaoqiao and took the things into the kitchen.

Chen Hui couldn't find a suitable one, so he simply covered the big basin with a big pot lid.

He scooped two scoops of water into the pot and said while brushing the pot: "Aunt Hongxia, the pickled seaweed you made is delicious. Give me a small plate to entertain the guests."

"Sure! I just happen to have some at home today! I'll go back and get it right away!"

"The big octopus is right here!"

Guo Hongxia agreed readily.

Look at the giant octopus in the tank and rub the goose bumps on your arms.

She untied the apron tied around her waist and hurried out.

"Chen Hui, do you have a big bowl?"

"I brought back a big bowl of soy milk today. It'll be enough for you to drink a whole pot of it later."

Chen Xiaoqiao put the buns on the round table outside.

He came in carrying soy milk, took a large bowl from the cupboard, and poured all the soy milk into it.

"Uncle Xiaoqiao, didn't I ask you to hire a butcher? Where is he?" Chen Hui asked while handling the big pot.

"I have already killed the deer at your mother-in-law's house. My mother has also gone over to help."

As Chen Xiaoqiao spoke, he put the soy milk on the table.

I found an enamel cup and walked around inside and outside, "Is there no brewed tea?"

Chen Hui cleaned the pot.

Add more clean water into the water tank to speed up the thawing of the giant octopus.

After finishing everything, I took a small bowl and poured a bowl of soy milk and drank it every meal.

"Still making tea! I've been busy since you left, and I haven't had a sip of water yet."

After Chen Hui finished speaking, he took a bun and started eating it.

Chen Xiaoqiao, who couldn't find any tea to drink, also poured himself a bowl of soy milk.

Sitting aside and eating a bun, he said, "I didn't feel hungry on the way, but seeing you eating makes me feel hungry too. Where's Wenjing? Did she go to work?"

Chen Hui picked up the watch that was placed aside and took a look at it.

It was already half past six in the morning, and he shouted loudly to the second floor: "Wife! You should get up and go to work."

"I'm here, getting dressed."

An Wenjing quickly put on her clothes and came down.

After washing his face and brushing his teeth, he walked into the kitchen and said, "Brother Chen Hui, why didn't you call me when you got up to work?"

"Why am I calling you? It's not like I don't know how to do it."

"Hurry up and eat a bun and go to work. Come back early to help after get off work." Chen Hui said, taking the bun and handing it to An Wenjing.

"Anyway, I should get up and join you."

"My husband is working, but my wife is sleeping in. If I tell others about this, people will laugh at me."

An Wenjing took the bun and smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Whoever wants to laugh can laugh as much as he wants. You should take care of your own wife yourself."

"Eat quickly and go to work after eating, otherwise you will be late." Chen Hui urged with a smile.

An Wenjing sat down, ate two buns and half a bowl of soy milk, and then Chen Xiaoming came over and called her.

He drank the soy milk and went out with Chen Xiaoming.

"Chen Hui, are you being too harsh on Wen Jing?"

"I'm telling you, women can't be spoiled like this. If you spoil them, they'll become arrogant and domineering."

Chen Xiaoqiao couldn't bear it anymore and reminded him.

Seeing Chen Hui burst out laughing, he quickly covered his mouth to prevent the laughter from coming out.

Unconvinced, he asked, "What are you laughing at? Isn't it true?"

"You haven't been gentle and considerate to Aunt Shuhui. Didn't that affect her being so arrogant?"

The time had not come yet, so Chen Hui did not tell An Wenjing about her pregnancy.

He was just teasing Chen Xiaoqiao about his own affairs.

"You are a person who only speaks when you can, but why do you poke people's hearts and lungs?"

Chen Xiaoqiao had nothing to refute and took a big bite of the bun to vent his anger.

Chen Hui laughed so hard after watching this that he ate two more buns and drank half a bowl of soy milk.

He put down the bowl and said:
"Uncle Xiaoqiao, are you full?"

"After you're full, run some errands. Go to Chen Xiangdong's house and ask Jinfeng for a small plate of cold-mixed eggplant."

"She made good dried eggplant. We'll put it on the table as a side dish later."

"After you get it back, go find Wang Hongmei and ask for a plate of mixed fern."

Chen Xiaoqiao was just thinking about going back to take a nap after breakfast.

Hearing this, he immediately looked at Chen Hui with a bitter face and resentment.

"Don't look at me like that! This is not for the benefit of the village."

"After you get these two things, you can go back to sleep. I still have a busy morning."

"After we've received the guests and sent them off, it'll take a long time to clean up the house."

"Then I'll switch with you!" Chen Hui spread his hands and let Chen Xiaoqiao choose for himself.

Chen Xiaoqiao was immediately caught in the act, and he stood up and said, "Go, go, go! I'll go right away!"

As he walked out, he muttered, "Damn, this guy is even worse than my elder brother. I can quit even if he scolds me."

The county called the village and asked them to come over for dinner around 12 o'clock.

I discussed the groceries shopping matter with Chen Kaiming yesterday. He will arrange for someone to go to the county town to buy them.

It will take a while to kill the deer.

The seafood that needs to be soaked in sauce in advance is also ready.

The errands were also assigned to Chen Xiaoqiao.

After finishing breakfast, Chen Hui took out the tea that He Juanjuan had given him.

I made a cup of tea and sat aside.

Looking at the osmanthus flowers blooming in the backyard, I drink tea leisurely.

"Chen Hui, the vegetables the village chief asked me to buy have been delivered."

"Chen Hui, the pickled seaweed is ready. Come over here and have a taste."

Two voices came from outside the door at the same time.

"Hey! Here we come!"

Chen Hui put down the cup and walked out.

Seeing the person delivering the vegetables, he asked in surprise, "Aunt Hongmei, are you going to buy vegetables?"

"Yes! My eldest brother came to me yesterday and I agreed."

"Sister-in-law, why are you here too?"

Wang Hongmei was a little surprised when she saw Guo Hongxia.
