Reborn cannon fodder ex-wife, the chief is a henpecked husband

"Mr. Hou." Huo Chenzhou took the lead in breaking the deadlock between the two.

"Captain Huo, I didn't expect that we would meet again in such a situation."

Hou Mingsen calmed down and spoke.

The air in the yard seemed to be frozen.

Shi Yanning was also a little surprised. Did these two people know each other? There was no mention of this in the novel.

As the only person who knew the situation besides these two people, Shen Sui honestly told Qi Tianfang the reason.

"...Mr. Hou accidentally disappeared, and then the research institute sought help. The military district sent Captain Huo to lead a team to the primeval forest, where Mr. Hou was rescued by the mercenaries of Country A..."

Shi Yanning also heard this from the side, and now everyone knew that Huo Chenzhou went back to the army to rescue this old Hou the day after his wedding.

Qi Tianfang and Qin Yu were pleasantly surprised. After all, with this fate and friendship, Chenzhou's position as Hou Lao's grandson-in-law was more secure.

Mr. Hou, what kind of person is this? The vice president of the Imperial Capital Research Institute, the director of the Military Research Institute, a top figure in the field of weapons, and most importantly, an expert in nuclear bomb research and a senior intellectual.

If such a person stands up, any achievement of his will shock the whole country.

Being his grandson-in-law, this kid really got a great deal.

Shi Yanning was lost in a brainstorm. In the novel, there was absolutely no such thing as the original person's grandfather supporting her.

It just says that the Shi family's ending is not good. As for Shi Yaning's in-laws, they appear at the end of the novel as the heroine's helpers.

Now, she is not dead, and her whole family has traveled through time, and they are each working hard to escape the fate of being cannon fodder.

Grandma and grandpa should have got in touch because of Huo Chenzhou.

Thinking of this, Shi Yanning looked at Huo Chenzhou with eyes full of gratitude. He was their savior!

Huo Chenzhou felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by Shi Yanning like this. He stood there as if nothing was happening, but the sound of his heartbeat in his chest was deafening.

When Hou Mingsen saw how worthless his granddaughter looked, he snorted to express his dissatisfaction.

Shi Yanning came back to her senses and quickly hugged Hou Mingsen's arm, took him to the table to rest, acted coquettishly with him, and talked about the days in Huojia Village.

Grandma Huo finished her work, and Grandpa Huo brought out his newly made table from the utility room.

Originally, this was after he found his sister Qin Yu, and then he took into consideration the two great-grandchildren in his granddaughter-in-law's belly.

So we set up a round table for ten people, which came in handy.

As soon as the table and chairs were set up, Huo's mother brought out the steaming hot dishes.

Braised spare ribs, dipped duckling, honey-glazed barbecued pork, braised pig's trotters, lion's head, and steamed fish.

Then came the sweet and sour dishes that Shi Yanning loved: fish-flavored eggplant, hot and sour shredded potatoes, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and finally a dish of chicken stewed with mushrooms.

There were ten dishes in total, and ten people sat at a round table. Of course, Hou Mingsen sat at the top, with Shi Yanning and Old Master Huo next to him.

Hou Mingsen was not a person without manners. On the contrary, because his wife was born into a scholarly family, he gradually learned etiquette.

"Thank you for taking care of Ningning during this period. When I saw Ningning today, I missed her so much that I couldn't suppress my emotions and lost my composure."

Hou Mingsen picked up the wine glass in front of him and toasted Grandpa Huo, Grandma Huo, Qi Tianfang, Qin Yu, and finally Father and Mother Huo. They all raised their glasses to toast him back.

Mr. Huo held the wine glass, lowered the rim and touched the glass, and said:

"Grandpa Ningning, we should respect you and thank you for educating Ningning to be filial and sensible. I can't say you took care of her, but it was Ningning who changed us!"

When Mr. Huo said this, he glanced at his wife, and Gu Jinlan smiled and nodded.

Then Mr. Huo continued, "Yes, it's all Ningning's credit. She proposed to buy a house and open a store, and she also asked someone to handle the documents."

These words attracted the attention of several people at the table to Shi Yaning, who didn't know where to start.

Seeing her expression, Huo Chenzhou looked at Hou Mingsen again. Obviously, Hou Mingsen didn't know that his granddaughter was so troublesome.

"How do you know these resolutions? Did your parents get you those certificates?"

"No, he's my friend. Grandpa, please eat more. You look so thin."

Shi Yanning looked serious and calm on the surface, but he was actually as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

She didn't dare tell her parents about this. Given her parents' personalities, they would definitely not let her have anything to do with gangsters.

Shi Yanning's behavior seemed to be acceptable, but in fact, everyone at the table was shrewd and obviously knew that this was a deliberate cover-up.

Qi Tianfang quickly changed the subject.

"Qin Yu and I plan to settle down in Anping Town. We contacted our son Wenhua a few days ago, and he agreed. He also said that he would come to Anping Town to visit you when he has time."

When Huo Chenzhou saw this uncle-in-law, he didn't know why, but he always felt that he was somewhat familiar.

Mr. Huo quickly added: "Oh? Really? That's great, we can get together more often in the future."

Qin Yu gave his old man a thumbs up under the table and said quickly:

"Yes, I looked forward to his holiday when I was young, and now, I finally got it."

"This is like giving myself a long vacation, haha."

Hou Mingsen looked at Qi Tianfang and could only sigh inwardly, "A holiday? Only people who are useless to society can have a holiday!"

Seeing that his grandfather didn't say anything, Shi Yanning picked up a piece of soft stewed pig's trotter with chopsticks and put it in his grandfather's bowl, "Grandpa, eat."

When Hou Mingsen saw the food his granddaughter picked up, he stopped sighing and quickly picked it up and ate it, feeling very satisfied.

By the time they had finished eating, the food had to be reheated several times, thanks to Grandma Huo's generous portions.

Mr. Huo was already a little tipsy, and Mr. Qi was drinking happily and clamoring to become sworn brothers.

Father Huo kept toasting Hou Mingsen, Old Man Huo, and Old Man Qi. In the end, he seemed to be the drunkest.

Hou Mingsen didn't drink much because Li Changan had reminded Shen Sui before they left, so Shen Sui kept staring at Hou Mingsen.

Huo Chenzhou still looked calm and composed, and it was hard to tell that he had been fighting for three hours.

He picked up the wine glass, stood up, and said solemnly to Hou Mingsen:

"Mr. Hou, I didn't expect that we would meet in such a situation. I only found out about Ningning's pregnancy yesterday. I'm very sorry."

"You just found out about Ningning's pregnancy yesterday?!"

Hou Mingsen became even more angry when he heard what Huo Chenzhou said.

"I'm very sorry."

Hou Mingsen thought about the identity of the man in front of him. He was already the head of the regiment at the young age of 26. It was because of him that he escaped from trouble this time.

After knowing that it was his fault, Hou Mingsen felt visibly bitter.

Huo Chenzhou saw the old man's red eyes and could only promise:

"It is my blessing to marry Ningning. I will do my best to give her everything I can, let her live a good life, and not let her suffer any grievances."

Hou Mingsen sat in the main seat, motionless, looking at the young man in front of him.

He has a handsome appearance, a righteous character, clear eyes, and speaks with authority. He is indeed more reliable than the boy from the Lin family.

He glanced at his sleepy granddaughter again. Her face was pale and rosy, and she looked very healthy.

The Huo family didn't need her for anything. Although the clothes she was wearing were not made of the best material, they were new clothes with fine stitching and fit her well. It was obvious that they were made for her by the Huo family themselves.

Come to think of it, he also missed the clothes that the old woman sewed for him...

Hou Mingsen picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip.

"Why don't you change your mind?" He accepted this grandson-in-law.

When the other people saw this scene, they relaxed. As they relaxed, three heads fell on the table one after another.

It was Mr. Huo, Qi Tianfang and finally Old Man Huo.

Huo Chenzhou carefully coaxed Shi Yanning to take a nap, and then carried several people upstairs to rest, with Shen Sui also helping.

Huo Chenzhou then rolled up his sleeves, cleaned up the mess on the table, and washed the dishes quickly.

Hou Mingsen was drinking tea in the pavilion and looking around the yard. When he saw the clothes and bed sheets of the men and women in the yard, he took another big sip of tea.

Seeing Huo Chenzhou coming out of the kitchen after wiping his hands, he said with ambiguous concern: "Young man, you still have to take care of your health~"

This young man who had just started having sex had all those things on his mind. He was young once too, so of course he knew, but Ningning was pregnant.

Huo Chenzhou looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, but his mind was actually in a mess.

Hou Mingsen sent Shen Sui away, and the two talked about something in the pavilion, which cannot be told to outsiders.

In the end, it was Dean Long who called Qian Jin, and County Magistrate Qian rode his bicycle to call Hou Mingsen away.
