Huo Mingshan’s gaze turned into a cold blade and instantly slashed towards Huo Feng, saying: "Change the spoon for . This filling is for Sangzhi, and if you dare sneak another bite, I won’t be polite anymore."
"..."
Huo Feng reluctantly changed the spoon and then patiently started making dumplings.
At this mont, the scene of the three-family mbers gathered around the stove making dumplings was incredibly warm and had a festive New Year atmosphere.
Although Huo Feng and Huo Mingshan were always bickering, the father and son never actually ca to blows; it was just a battle of words.
Pu Sangzhi enjoyed watching their verbal sparring; she found it amusing and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
As they chatted, Huo Mingshan suddenly brought up another topic, "Your friend, Lin Yuhao... he and Xiaonuan are getting along quite well now. Your grandfather asked to find out from you whether Lin Yuhao is a good kid. If he’s suitable, your grandfather wants to arrange their marriage sooner."
"That sounds good."
Huo Feng thought it was good news, "Haozi has a good character and treats auntie well. But is grandfather really willing to let auntie get married?"
Huo Mingshan chuckled, "Your grandfather wants so peace and quiet; Xiaonuan is too lively at ho."
"Haha~"
Huo Feng laughed, "Auntie’s liveliness was fostered by grandfather."
"Isn’t that true!"
On this point, Huo Mingshan and Huo Feng shared the sa opinion, "Your grandfather was never good at teaching kids. He spoiled you, and he spoiled her, and ended up spoiling your personalities. Now he’s passing the ss to soone else."
"What are you saying!"
These words, Huo Feng couldn’t stand to hear, "How was I spoiled by grandfather! I’m upright and respectable!"
"You refuse to admit it!"
Huo Mingshan seized on the topic and continued, "Originally, you were spoiled by your grandfather. Have you forgotten your dark history? Playing hooky, smoking, fighting - you were involved in all sorts of mischief! Your grandfather covered for you!"
Listening to this, Huo Feng frowned, "Nonsense~ that ti was nothing but Huo Feng’s youthful, carefree days! That’s not so dark history! I even now think of that ti as very delightful!"
Huo Mingshan argued back with Huo Feng, "You’re just being stubborn. If it weren’t for Sangzhi, could you have this kind of life? It’s all Sangzhi-! She’s gradually turned you from a little thug into a big boss! If you had grown up under your grandfather, it would just be a journey from a little thug to a big thug!"
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
Huo Feng disdainfully reacted to Huo Mingshan, "Shut up, Dad! Or I’ll turn around and call Mom and tell her you’re badmouthing grandfather..."
Huo Mingshan: "You wouldn’t dare!"
Huo Feng: "Want to guess whether I would dare or not?"
Pu Sangzhi watched them start bickering again even though they were chatting well, quickly stepping in to stop them, "Dad, Huo Feng wouldn’t dare."
Huo Feng raised his eyebrows but said nothing, then gave Pu Sangzhi a look as if to say ’Wife knows just when to intervene’.
Only then did Huo Mingshan reluctantly change the topic, "I just don’t see eye to eye with this boy Huo Feng. I’m always puzzled how you get along with so many brothers and friends? How can anyone endure your teasing?"
Huo Feng chuckled, "I win people over with strength! Brothers and friends who get along with basically all admire Huo Feng’s exceptional skills!"
Huo Mingshan: "..."
Anyway, if Huo Mingshan were a few decades younger, he definitely wouldn’t beco friends with Huo Feng, and he certainly wouldn’t like Huo Feng’s way of bragging.
As they continued chatting, the dumplings with two kinds of fillings were all wrapped and started boiling in the pot.
A table of rich New Year’s Eve dinner was already set on the dining table, but according to Wenzhou’s New Year custom, the New Year’s Eve dinner on the night of the thirtieth should not be eaten; it should be saved for the morning of the next day.
So, tonight, the three of them ate dumplings.
The shrimp and egg-filled dumplings were incredibly delicious; Pu Sangzhi’s appetite was so big she ate 25 dumplings and was quite stuffed! And also very satisfied!
After dinner, the task of washing dishes was handed over to the dishwasher, and the three of them comfortably sat in the living room to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
The lively atmosphere was brimming at the Gala’s scene and also in the living room...
As they watched, Huo Mingshan suddenly uttered, "Aren’t we in Beijing now? Can’t we go watch the Gala live?"
Huo Feng, while browsing his phone, responded to Huo Mingshan, "If you wanted to see it live, you should’ve said it earlier, a few days earlier, and I could’ve got the tickets. Before, Director Lu asked if I wanted tickets for the live Gala. At the ti, I just refused... If you want them, I’ll get you a ticket next year."
"Hehe~"
Now, Huo Mingshan was really delighted to hear this, "Then I’ll co to Beijing again for New Year next year, and you’ll get a ticket to the live Gala, and I’ll go have a look too."
