Chapter 712: The Charm of Hot Pot Is Irresistible!

eel relieved.But she still couldn't help but advise: "Fu Niuer, learning is a good thing, but you are still young, don't overwork yourself. Listen to your aunt, play when it's time to play, no need to..."Brother Li, you're even more anxious. He asked, "Sister, I heard someone is bullying our family How are you doing, and how's everything at home"

"Haha, brother, you can rest assured! Everything's fine at home. Those who bullied our family are all doing hard labor outside the village, digging ditches."

Jia Yin was so happy, she hugged her big brother and sixth brother. She remembered reaching back to open the lunch box and handing a piping hot plate of fried meatballs to her mischievous seventh brother.

The little cat meow happily and shoved several into its mouth. It didn't forget to feed its big brother and sixth brother, of course, and it also didn't forget Lu Cong and Jia Xu.

Lu Zonghe and Jia Xu couldn't help but feel envious looking at the Li siblings being so lively and close.

The Jia family was alright, not too much intrigue or backstabbing. But it was never as close as the Li siblings.

As for the Lu family, it's even worse. Those brothers of Lu Zhong are always scheming to get rid of him!

When Jia Ren saw someone looking over, he urged his younger siblings to go home quickly.

Li Ge also jumped onto the carriage, while Jia Ren accompanied Lu Zhong and Jia Xu on horseback.

Li Ge'er and Mao Ge'er surrounded their younger sister, chattering excitedly about their journey as they ate, their laughter ringing out intermittently.

Jia Ren, Lu Cong and Jia Xu followed behind the car, laughing non-stop as well.

Soon, they arrived at Suijin Beach. Li Laotai, who had received the news, didn't even have time to put on her heavy coat and went straight to the village entrance to wait.

She really missed her grandson. She hugged him and patted him, repeatedly saying, "Oh my, you've lost weight!"

"Didn't you have a good meal on the road You guys went abroad to study, how come you look even more ragged than when we fled our home"

Jia Ren's three brothers all had red eyes, hugged their grandmother, and sniffed the familiar warmth of her body. Only then did a wandering heart feel safe and sound.

Jia Yin looked at Lu Zong and Jia Xu standing aside, and quickly introduced them to her grandmother, "Grandma, this is Big Brother Lu and Big Brother Jia. They came back with my brother."

"Let's go inside first, my brothers are all tired. I'll get something to eat ready, and grandma will have the kang heated up for them!"

"Good, good! It's good to have you back!" Li Laotai quickly replied, grabbing Lu Cong and Jia Xu by the hand and heading towards the courtyard.

"Come on, child, hurry inside! You must be tired from the road. Let's have a big meal soon, then you can have a good sleep and rest."

The old man's hands were a little rough, but dry and warm.

Lu Cong and Jia Xu glanced at each other, both smiled, and obediently followed in.

Meow Ge'er ate half a box of fried meatballs, quite a few snacks and fruits in the car, but he was still jumping around shouting, "Sister, I want to eat hot pot! Lots of meat! I want to eat meat!"

Just then, Zhao Yuru, Li Laosan, and Li Laosi heard the news and rushed back from outside, all unable to help but laugh.

Li Laosi immediately rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile, "Want to eat meat It's easy! Just wait for your Uncle Si to slice the lamb for you!"

Li Laosan also said, “I’m going to kill fish. I remember that Mao Ge'er likes to eat fish pot!”

Zhao Yuru stepped forward, hugged the cat boy, her face full of concern, "No wonder the child kept crying for meat, he has lost a lot of weight. He must eat meat, lots and lots of meat!"

Mrs. Li called for Grandma He to help, "First, tidy up the children's rooms. After they eat, let them go soak in the hot springs, and then have a good sleep."

Grandma smiled and replied, then went down to get busy.

The entire front yard of Li's house belonged to the young masters, with many empty rooms.

Lu Zong and Jia Xu lived in the room next to Jia Ren's. After a quick wash, they changed into Jia Ren's new clothes and were called to eat.

This was just past mid-afternoon, before dinnertime. So this meal was for the children only and it was held in Jiaren's room.

A large square table was placed on the heated kang.

In the middle of the table was a bubbling hot pot, one side rich and creamy, the other spicy and numbing.

There were all sorts of green vegetables and fish balls, meat balls, and so on, placed generously. Especially the mutton slices, there were five full plates stacked high.

There was also a table set up in the kitchen. Gou Sheng and Zheng Liu, Zheng Qi accompanied by servants from the Lu family and Jia family, had already begun their meal.

Li Lao Tai took her son and daughter-in-law to greet the children gathered around the table, then made an excuse to go back to the main hall, leaving the children to eat more freely.

Of course, Jia Yin, this beloved little sister of the group, is exempt.

She scooped up meat for one brother, peeled shrimp for another, and occasionally topped off their glasses with icy passion fruit honey drinks.

The Jia brothers were accustomed to eating hot pot, but Jia Xu and Lu Cong were experiencing its allure for the first time.

Outside, snowflakes are flying and the wind is howling.

Inside the window, they threw off their cotton robes, eating until they were drenched in sweat, wildly guzzling spicy fruit drinks. How could words possibly capture such bliss!

"No wonder Cat Brother kept saying, this winter eating hot pot is simply great."

Lu Cong swallowed a meatball in one gulp, his mouth puffing out hot air. He didn't forget to give Mao Ge'er a thumbs up.

Meow Meow was so pleased with himself. He gave his most beloved belly silk, the very last bite, to Luzong, and said with a smirk, "My fourth sister-in-law and second brother are the best!"

Let me tell you, don't think that just because our house isn't a big mansion, our cooking is top-notch.

Ji Xu's spicy skills were impressive. He took a fresh cucumber and chomped on it, "crunch crunch," and couldn't help but nod along.

"Not to mention, on a winter day like this, for your family to have so many vegetables together is definitely the first!"

Jia Yin thought of Bao Zhu and laughed: "Brother Jia, are you going home tomorrow When the time comes, please bring me a basket of cucumbers for Bao Zhu."

"The last time Baozhu came to play, the cucumbers were not ready to pick yet. She almost wore a hole in my ear nagging me about them."

Jia Xu heard her tone, as if she were very familiar with her sister, he couldn't help but be surprised.

He went abroad to study, didn't something happen during his trip

But he still agreed.

The meal was lively and enjoyable, with everyone finishing their plates.

Lu Zhonghe and Jia Xuji were discerning, using a pretext of disappearance, returned to their rooms.

The three Jia Ren brothers, accompanied by their sister, went to the main hall to tell their elders about their journey south.

I heard that tomorrow morning, my elder brother will be able to lead his fleet to the military camp wharf.

Where could Li Lao San and Li Lao Si possibly stay Li Lao Si quickly said, "Mother, earlier when my brother and I went there, we didn't meet the eldest brother either. It was just this one day!"

"Let's go out again tonight, and come back with Big Brother tomorrow, okay"

Li Laosan also said, “That’s right, mother, tomorrow is the day we welcome Big Brother back to eat dumplings for the New Year!”

Lao Li didn't stop her, and instructed: "Wear more warmly, wrap yourself in the wolfskin cloak. If something happens and you're delayed, remember to send someone back to tell me."

Li Lao San and Li Lao Si were very happy to agree, then they really wrapped themselves up like winter melons until they were fat, and then they set off.

Li Laotai held her eldest grandson's hand and asked him about many trivial matters. She listened with interest as he spoke of the exchanges between his classmates from the academy and those from Quanzhou, finding it quite lively. She was also happy to hear it.

But then, she suddenly remembered something and asked, "Where are Jiayi and Liu Yang Are they still on the boat, with your uncle I should have asked your fourth uncle to bring them some food!"

Jiaren was stunned for a moment, his expression a mixture of three parts anxiety and seven parts apprehension.

Here are three more chapters~~ praised her, wanting to comfort the little girl in front of him and also wanting to hear what good ideas she had."Uncle Huang, the only ones who know about the East Family in the white clouds are you...
