Chapter 17
Her brother and sister-in-law are obviously a bit scared, but brother Guo Nuan continues to feign calmness and still glares fiercely at Huo Jinlin.
“Who the hell are you, don’t scare me with this, what qualifications do you have to ask about our affairs?”
Lin on the side still couldn’t listen anymore, “He’s my husband, do you think there’s any qualification to ask about the store? And if you don’t believe what he says, you can try, the surveillance cameras in the store are all there anyway.”
The first time Huo Jinlin heard Lin still introduce him, it was as if a feather had gently scratched through his heart, and a strange feeling arose.
After hearing Lin still’s words, those two half-heartedly looked at them, and then at the store’s CCTV, seeing that Huo Jinlin was still sitting there in a dignified manner, knowing that he couldn’t take advantage of the situation, and fearing that he’d be beaten up, he had no choice but to leave in a sarcastic manner.
When she passed by Guo Nuan, her sister-in-law even pointed at her fiercely, “You dead girl who eats out of the house, I’ll find a chance to clean you up again.”
The two finally cursed and walked away, this was the first time they didn’t take advantage of Guo Nuan, looking at their silhouettes as they disappeared around the corner, Guo Nuan was as relieved as if she was relieved, and leaned over the table and cried.
Lin still did not say anything, just silently accompany her, help her wipe her tears, quietly waiting for her to vent her heart.
The good thing is that the reputation of the fried chicken store has always been good, after the storm soon returned to calm, the three of them will probably clean up the store a bit, and began to resume normal business, the customers are coming in one after another.
Lin still and Guo Nuan were soon busy, while Huo Jinlin didn’t understand this, so he could only sit on the sidelines and play with his cell phone.
“This husband of yours, he’s much more handsome than I imagined, and he’s sweet and will take care of people, where did you pick him up, I want one too.”
The two are together in the back kitchen, Guo Nuan glances at Huo Jinlin who is playing with his cell phone and bumps Lin still’s arm with ulterior motives.
As soon as Lin still looks up, she meets Guo Nuan’s snickering eyes, and she instantly blushes like a ripe apple, speaking in a somewhat small voice.
“Sister Nuan, don’t make fun of me, didn’t I tell you last time, we just met in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau.”
Guo Nuan picked up a spoon and flipped the chicken fillet in the frying pan, teasingly said, “Are the ones thrown in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau so good now? I’ll go pick one up tomorrow.”
Lin still ignores her, blushing as she carries the meal out.
When Huo Jinlin sees her come out, he asks suspiciously, “Why is your face so red?”
“Oh? Nothing,” Lin still reaches out and pats her face, saying, “It’s too hot inside. ”
“Is it?” Huo Jinlin half-believes it, but doesn’t ask much, looking at the meal in her hand, he proposes, “You can bundle the sales of fried chicken and other snacks, as well as designing some packages, and doing regular activities, the effect should be much better.”
Guo Nuan happened to come out, and when she heard this, she immediately brightened up, “I didn’t expect you to know about this, I think this proposal is very good, still what do you think?”
“It can be,” Lin still nodded, “Some of the things in the store are indeed rather singular, if they can be combined and sold together, I reckon the effect will also be very good.”
“Well, indeed, your husband did make a good suggestion.”
Guo Nuan is a few years older than Lin still, and her character is different from that of a squirmy little girl, so she speaks more straight, but the word “husband” makes Lin still blush and not dare to look at Huo Jinlin.
After finalizing the plan, the two of them packed up and left, Lin Yi Yi is still in the hospital, have to go pick up back.
The store sold according to Huo Jinlin’s proposal, and the effect was not surprising, just one week, sales rose sharply.
When Lin still received her call, she was cooking in the kitchen. She glanced up and saw Huo Jinlin fiddling with something in the living room.
The phone hangs up and Lin still comes out of the kitchen to see Huo Jinlin writing and drawing in a small notebook, with a pile of messy materials on the table.
“Are you designing something?”
Huo Jinlin is busy with his own hands and doesn’t raise his head, “I’m helping the fried chicken store design a cartoon doll, most of the customers in the store are with children on weekdays, so if I can design a cartoon doll, it can represent the image of the fried chicken store and can be used as a souvenir for the children.”
When Lin still heard this, she was surprised in her heart, “How do you know so many skills?”
After spending some time together, Lin still realized that living with Huo Jinlin was like digging for treasure, how many things did he still have that he didn’t understand?
Huo Jinlin was afraid that Lin was still suspicious, and said perfunctorily, “I’m just usually bored, and sometimes I come across these when I’m on patrol, so I learned a little bit by the way, and I know a little bit about all of them.”
Lin still had a few moments of curiosity, “Then on you, just how many other skills do I not know?”
Watching his hand move, these ordinary materials were made into a magical cartoon character by him like magic, Lin still was amazed in her heart.
Huo Jinlin puts the things in front of her and says in a light tone, “How would I know anything else, I only know these.”
Day by day, Xu Juan is also slowly getting better, Lin still can finally relax a few points.
Pick up Lin Yi Yi on the way from school, she has been chattering like a sparrow, Lin is still in the fried chicken store busy tired, just a smile, did not talk.
Lin Yi Yi instead dissatisfied muttering mouth: “You are too boring, in the future it is better to change brother-in-law to pick me up, he will teach me a lot of things, unlike you, talking to you are ignoring me.”
Lin still: “……”
Wasn’t it always like this before? How come ever since Huo Jinlin picked her up a few times, it’s become her being boring?
The two of them return home sullenly, and as soon as they open the door, a crackling sound comes from the kitchen, and Lin still thinks that a burglar has entered, so frightened that she picks up the broom by the door and rushes in.
With four eyes facing each other, Huo Jinlin smiled awkwardly, “I had wanted to learn how to cook, but I didn’t expect to make it look like this.”
The kitchen is a mess of pots and pans, Huo Jinlin’s clothes are still stained with egg liquid, and he’s holding a bowl of eggs mixed with eggshells, so Lin still can’t hold back and snorts out a laugh.
Since the two of them have met, it’s the first time she’s seen Huo Jinlin’s embarrassed appearance, and she can barely straighten up with laughter.
“If I don’t come back, I’m only afraid you’re going to blow up my kitchen.”
Huo Jinlin awkwardly didn’t reply, picking up the broom dustpan on the side and started cleaning.
Lin still watched all this, knowing that he was learning to take care of his family, her heart thumping like a deer in headlights.
The man in front of her was not only diligent and hard-working, but also responsible for his family, so if she could find someone like that in her life, what was there not to be satisfied with?
