Chapter 268 Here to repay the favor
When the trio of Cengfan knocked on the door, Huo Yunchao was in the kitchen and told Qiu Yun: "Let this chicken soup simmer for a while until the bones and flesh are separated and then turn off the heat. This fish soup must be cooked last. Madam can't smell the fishy smell." taste."
Under Huo Yunchao's guidance, Qiu Yun has been able to restore 70% of Huo Yunchao's craftsmanship, but Huo Yunchao is still worried. He is very concerned about the food, clothing, housing and transportation related to Xu Ning.
Qiu Yun was nervous and envious at the same time. She was nervous that she couldn't handle the things assigned by her boss, and envied Xu Ning for having such a good husband-in-law.
Zhou Changxing welcomed County Magistrate Chen and his party into the living room, ran over and said to Huo Yunchao, "My boss, the county magistrate is here with a basket of sweet potatoes."
"A basket of sweet potatoes?"
Huo Yunchao was stunned for a moment. He didn't think it was strange when he thought that the sweet potatoes would be harvested in half a month. "Changxing, clean the pot and leave it for me to arrange."
"Yun Chao, I heard from Master that you can also use sweet potatoes to make wine?"
County Magistrate Chen stepped forward happily and asked as soon as he saw Huo Yunchao.
As soon as Huo Yunchao entered the living room, he heard County Magistrate Chen talking about sweet potato wine. He was confused and replied directly: "Uh, sir, I have no experience, so I can't guarantee that I can make sweet potato wine."
County Magistrate Chen said with a smile: "Yun Chao, I brought you a basket of sweet potatoes, you try to make some."
The master winked and said, "Yun Chao, your master said he would quit drinking after tasting the sweet potato wine you brewed."
"Master! Aren't you afraid that I will fine you a salary?" County Magistrate Chen shouted in a feigned ferocity.
The master replied: "Don't be afraid, my little salary is not enough for me to have a good meal outside."
County Magistrate Chen was speechless by these words. He pointed at the master and did not talk to him anymore. Instead, he talked to Huo
Yun Chao said: "Yun Chao, let's talk about something serious. The magistrate reported the sweet potato harvest news ten days ago, and it should reach His Majesty's ears in ten days. Are you confident that you can produce twenty shi per mu?"
Huo Yunchao answered resoundingly: "Sir, I am confident! The sweet potato yield will definitely be twenty dan per mu!"
County Magistrate Chen clapped his hands: "Okay! We'll see in half a month!"
Master serves as the atmosphere team: "Let's wait and see!"
After chatting about the business, Huo Yunchao asked very insightfully: "Sir, Master, do you have any special dishes you want to eat? I will cook them for you."
The master smiled and asked the agricultural officer to bring over another bamboo basket: "Yes! We also brought our own ingredients. Here, you can figure it out."
One chicken, one pork, thirty eggs.
Every time County Magistrate Chen came to the Xu family as a guest, he never came empty-handed. He always brought enough food for the Xu family and leftover food, which was a disguised subsidy to Huo Yunchao.
Huo Yunchao knew this very well. He never felt that County Magistrate Chen was causing him any trouble, so he tried his best to cook a delicious and delicious meal to entertain Magistrate Chen and others.
County Magistrate Chen had a sumptuous dinner at Huo's house and returned to the county government office leisurely.
At three o'clock in the morning, when most people were immersed in sweet dreams, the tiles of Xu's house made subtle noises.
The latch of Huo Yunchao and Xu Ning's room door was manually pried open, and the door was opened from the outside. Under the weak moonlight, the criminal wielded a machete and swung it towards the bulge on the bed.
"what--"
With the knife in hand, the quiet night in Pingle Village was suddenly destroyed by a scream!
"Clang-crack-"
The machete dropped from the criminal's hand
On the ground, I saw a sharp arrow stuck in his chest, which was as deep as a palm.
"Master!"
Zhou Changxing rushed over in disheveled clothes. When he entered the door, he saw Huo Yunzhao slashing at the criminal with a knife: "If you dare to touch my wife and children, I will cut you into pieces!"
Xu Ning's abdomen was bulging high and he couldn't exert as much force as before. In addition, Huo Yunchao was in an extremely frantic and collapsed mood. He only wanted to chop the gangster who wanted to kill his wife and children into minced meat. He couldn't pull it off at all. Live the crazy Huo Yunchao.
Zhou Changxing tried his best to stop Huo Yunchao from going crazy. In the end, it was Xu Ning who pretended to be in pain to bring him back to his senses: "My husband, please stop! My husband, I, I have a stomachache..."
With a bang, Huo Yunchao's soul was recalled by the sound of "stomach ache". He hurriedly threw away the machete in his hand. When he saw Xu Ning clutching his stomach, he was so panicked that he yelled and screamed until the end. Crying: "Ning Niang, Ning Niang, do you have a stomachache? Are you scared? Doctor girl! Doctor girl, come here!"
The medical girl subdued the other gangster who broke in, turned around and shouted to Butcher Xu: "Old Master, I'll leave the gangster to you, and I'll take care of my wife."
Butcher Xu said "Okay" and tied the criminal tightly with the pig-tying rope in his hand, then rushed to the other side and tied up the surrendered criminal in the same way.
The screams woke up the villagers in Pingle Village. Aunt Ma's house, which was the nearest, arrived as quickly as possible. Under the bright lights, Aunt Ma saw blood stains in Huo Yunchao and Xu Ning's room, and she was frightened. Hei's body swayed, and he managed to hold on without fainting: "Ning Niang, where is Ning Niang? Where is Ning Niang? Whose blood is it?"
? Whose blood is that? "
Butcher Xu pointed to the study and said, "It's the blood of the gangster, not the blood of Ning Niang and Chao'er. Ning Niang was frightened and said she had a stomachache, and the doctor was examining her."
Aunt Ma staggered to the study room and saw Xu Ning's face was rosy. Although there was fear in her eyes, she was obviously fine.
"Scared me to death, really scared me to death!"
Aunt Ma was mumbling something, her limbs were sore and she fell to the ground, sobbing.
Xu Ning has been cared for by Aunt Ma like a daughter since she was a child. She comforted: "Aunt Ma, I'm fine. Everything is fine with the child and I. The child finds it funny and keeps rolling in my belly."
Aunt Ma wiped her face several times but still couldn't wipe away the tears. She came to the crib and asked the doctor: "Is Ning Niang really okay?"
The doctor woman replied: "Madam's pulse is normal, there is nothing wrong with her."
Aunt Ma didn't see Huo Yunchao and asked him: "Chao'er, where is Chao'er? Is he okay?"
Xu Ning said: "Mrs. Ma, my husband is making soothing soup in the kitchen. My husband is frightened. I have to make him do some work."
Aunt Ma asked the question she was most concerned about: "Ning Niang, your father said that your house is full of the blood of criminals?"
When she came in, she looked to see if there was any blood on Xu Ning's body. She was clean, and Aunt Ma was worried whether it was Huo Yunchao's blood.
Xu Ning was terrified: "My husband was so stimulated that he went crazy on the spot and slashed wildly with a knife. The house was full of blood. I was awake before the gangster opened the door, otherwise our family of three would..."
She wasn't afraid when confronting the bad guys head-on, nor was she afraid when she saw Huo Yunchao going crazy. But now that she was back, she was trembling with fear.
Aunt Ma patted her chest lightly with a look on her face
Fortunately, he said: "Thank you for waking up in time!"
It wasn't that she looked down on Huo Yunchao, but that Huo Yunchao really didn't have as much fighting power as Xu Ning. Xu Ning had to take action to kill the criminals who broke into the house reliably.
Xu Ning caressed her bulging belly and said with a smile: "Mrs. Ma, I didn't wake up in time. The child kicked me awake."
Aunt Ma repeatedly praised: "Mother Ning, this child must be here to repay your kindness!"
Xu Ning was amused by this statement, with tears in her laughter: "If the child is really here to repay her kindness, then I have to treat her better."
