Chapter 150: Chapter 74 What? A Handso Guy?_2 Chapter 150: Chapter 74 What? A Handso Guy?_2 Long Kongkong said with a smile, “I had a night class at school yesterday, so I got out of class late and was a bit tired. Overslept today. Uncle Hep, rest awhile. I’m going to chop up the ribs. I’ll call you when it’s ti for your expert touch.”
As he talked, he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to get to work in the kitchen.
“Have you eaten?” a pleasant voice rang out from the kitchen. Hep Benn erged, placing a bowl of egg soup and two pancakes in front of him.
Long Kongkong exclaid in surprise, “Huh, sis, how did you know I skipped breakfast today. It slls amazing. Thanks, sis. You’re looking more and more beautiful.” Looking at Hep Benn’s pure-looking face, his eyes beca brighter.
Hep Benn responded with a dismissive look, “Hurry up and eat, you can work after you’re done.”
He did skip breakfast this morning, but with the help of the Divine Prayers Icy Moon Angel during cultivation, they absorb the purest elental energy. It really didn’t matter whether they ate or not. But this was a breakfast prepared by the goddess!
Long Kongkong ate with delight, the feeling was akin to eating delicacies, the key being the sense of pleasure he felt. It was Hep Benn who cooked a al for him for the first ti.
After having breakfast, Long Kongkong felt energized, bustling about with boiling water, chopping ribs, blanching water, caralizing sugar, stewing ribs, steaming rice. Almost all tasks were done by him.
Father Hep sat in the main hall, looking at his mostly done daughter, claiming, “Kongkong is a good boy, diligent and observant. After he ca, I’ve got so free ti every weekend.”
Hep Benn eyed the direction of the kitchen, rely smiled, and said nothing.
“Daughter, how’s the recent school situation? Do you still have pocket money?” Father Hep asked.
“Yes, I do. It’s enough,” said Hep Benn softly.
Father Hep smiled and said, “We may not be wealthy, but don’t be too frugal. Spend when necessary. You should buy so new clothes for yourself. You’re almost seventeen. In a year or so, you’ll graduate. You would have to find work. It will be easier to find a good family to marry into if you dress up a little. With that, my wish would be fulfilled.”
Hep Benn gave her father a look and replied, “You’re that eager to marry off! Don’t all fathers hate to see their daughters leave?”
Father Hep chuckled, “I’m not eager to either. But girls can’t stay ho forever. The decision will be out of your hands.”
Hep Benn countered, “I won’t marry. I’ll stay ho and live off of you.”
Warmth filled Father Hep’s eyes, “I will age, and I can’t take care of you forever. What I hope for you is a good household. It doesn’t need to be rich, just kind to you.”
“Uncle Hep, what do you think of ? I can help you raise Hep Benn. You can just hand her off to in the future.” Long Kongkong strode out of the kitchen with a small bowl containing rib stew and a small piece of rib. Recently, he’s been handling all the stew processing, this was to let Father Hep taste and decide whether more seasoning was needed.
Father Hep took the small bowl and chided, “You have quite the dream. Your Sister Hep is the top student of the academy, aiming for the Federation’s governnt office. How is your study at the academy? Kongkong, listen to your Uncle Hep. Love matters! Two together need to match in many ways, or problems will co.”
Yet, Long Kongkong didn’t think much of it and grinned, “If Sister Hep allows, I could work hard.”
Hep Benn frowned at him and admonished, “How old are you? Not even fifteen, right? And you’re already pondering these things. How will you work hard?”
Father Hep laughed heartily, “Indeed! This boy of yours is still growing a fuzz, and he’s already thinking of finding a wife? Get back to work now, add a little more salt.”
“Alright.” Long Kongkong jovially went back to work. He wasn’t in a rush. Ti would prove everything.
There were many custors at noon. After they were nearly done, Father Hep went to rest in the back. The back kitchen has a small room, only big enough for a single bed. Father Hep would nap there every afternoon.
Long Kongkong helped Hep Benn clean the front, ca over and spoke softly, “Sis, I wanted to discuss sothing with you.”
“What’s up?” Hep Benn gave him a glance.
Long Kongkong grinned, saying, “I’m thinking about taking a leave of absence tomorrow. I have sothing to do.”
Hep Benn slightly furrowed her brow, replying, “Not allowed.”
“What? Why?” Long Kongkong expressed with surprise. In his mind, Hep Benn was usually easygoing and he didn’t expect her to refuse him.
As Hep Benn wiped the table, she lowered her head and asked, “what’s the matter you have to look into?”
Long Kongkong replied, “I want to visit my relatives for a while. How about I co early tomorrow, put the ribs on simr, and leave when everything is ready, will that work?”
Hep Benn glanced at him, remained silent for a while, and then said, “Ok, then you can take the day off.”
Feeling her changed mood, Long Kongkong nudged her and asked, “Sis, do you miss , or do you have sothing going on?”
Annoyed, Hep Benn said, “Who needs you? Tomorrow…we are having a reunion at our shop. You won’t be any help.”
“What? A reunion? Any beauties?” Long Kongkong’s question slipped out almost instantly.
Hep Benn glared at him, saying, “is your mind always filled with thoughts about beauties every day? None, none at all. So annoying. There will only be handso n, no beauties.”
“Handso n?” Long Kongkong’s eyes instantly filled with alertness, “Sis, I’m not taking a leave of absence tomorrow. I’ll accompany you. You can’t handle it alone.”
Hep Benn paused, looked at him sowhat doubtfully. Fully committed, Long Kongkong declared: “If it were only beauties, I would have peace of mind. But with handso n present, I must protect you. You are so beautiful, so gentle that it would stir any man’s heart. What if handso n pursued you? As your good little brother, I am obligated to fend off these suitors.”
Hep Benn couldn’t help but giggle at his words, “I think you’re the one who is the suitor, not them. I am not as good as you make sound.”
Without any hesitation, Long Kongkong said: “You certainly are! You are the most perfect goddess in my heart. Don’t worry, I’ll accompany you tomorrow. What do we need to prepare? Shall we prepare today?”
Hep Benn’s charming face lit up, “Alright. Later, you go and buy so fruits and dried fruits. Although we run a small restaurant, we can’t afford to overlook our guests. My classmates are all nice. About a dozen or so people are expected to attend. Most of them are girls, and yes, there are a few boys.”
“Alright, leave it to . I’ll go in a mont. Give a list, tell what to buy!”
By the ti Long Kongkong returned to Spirit Furnace Academy, it was already nightti. His older sister and brother had already started their cultivation.
“Why are you back so late?” His older sister asked with a teasing smile.
Long Kongkong laughed, “I am not as lazy as my brother. I am hardworking and thrifty, it’s called ‘cultivating the mind’.”
Long Dangdang opened his eyes, “Stop talking nonsense, start your cultivation now, we’ve been waiting for you.”
“Wait, wait.” Long Kongkong quickly waved his hands, “I won’t be going to grandpa’s with you guys tomorrow. I couldn’t get the leave, the shop will be busy tomorrow. How about next week? I’ll go next week.”
Long Dangdang couldn’t help but give him a disgruntled look, “What’s going on with you?”
Long Kongkong pursed his lips and said, “Tomorrow, there might be potential rivals-in-love. I must protect my goddess, I absolutely can’t let anyone have the opportunity. Dear brother, dear sister, next week, definitely next week.” Towards the end, his face was full of flattery.
Ling nglu couldn’t help but express her surprise, “I really want to see what this goddess of yours looks like, she’s got you so srized.”
Proud, Long Kongkong said: “Anyti! Co to have the rib rice anyti. My goddess is, of course, unique and flawless.”
