A domineering country girl flirts with her son, and Commander Huo can't resist.

Chapter 46: One moment I'm moved, the next I'm too afraid to move.

Today is Monday, and she wanted to take a tractor ride, but the tractor only costs six cents for two round trips. In the past, she wouldn't have even blinked an eye at that price.

Ever since Qiao An moved out of the family home, life has gotten worse day by day, and every penny has to be stretched thin.

She walked to town, stood outside all day, and is now walking back.

One day is fine, but if it's like this every day, your body won't be able to take it.

"I'll pull your grandpa!"

Qiao An grinned maliciously, stood up, pedaled the tricycle, and charged towards Wang Shuyun's legs, intending to run them over.

"Hey! What are you doing?! Are you trying to kill someone?!"

Seeing her pedaling furiously, Wang Shuyu scrambled to her feet.

"Second brother's wife, are you crazy?"

"I'm insane! You'd better not mess with me, or you'll regret it!"

Qiao An snorted coldly, and without stopping, rode past Wang Shuyun.

"Damn it! You bastard! You just wait, let's see how long you can keep laughing!"

Wang Shuyun patted her bottom and continued walking home.

Qiao An saw Huo Chen and Huo Ning at her doorstep.

A girl with a ponytail was standing next to them.

Upon closer inspection, it was Huo Fang, the daughter of Shen Xiufang and Huo Jifeng.

Huo Fang is twelve years old this year and will be starting junior high school soon.

The Huo family was rotten from the very beginning, but Huo Fang was different.

As the saying goes, a good bamboo shoot emerged from a bad bamboo.

In the novel, Huo Chen and Huo Ning suffered greatly at home.

Of the whole family, only Huo Fang was truly kind to them, and she would even save her own meals for the two of them.

It can be said that without Huo Fang, Huo Chen and Huo Ning would never have lived to see Huo Jiyun and Mu Yu return from the Northwest.

Therefore, Qiao An naturally wouldn't treat Huo Fang the same way she would treat other members of the Huo family.

"Fangfang's here?" Qiao An parked the car at the door.

When Huo Fang saw her, she hurriedly took two steps back, seemingly somewhat timid.

My second aunt used to be quiet and reserved at home, but after the family separated, she seemed to become a different person.

Yesterday, he even hacked Jiang Heizi until he was covered in blood.

My grandparents and my mother scolded my second aunt every day, saying she was a reincarnation of a shrew and that she was having affairs with men in town. They made her sound like some kind of demon.

So Huo Fang was a little scared when she saw her.

"Mom, today my brother and I ran into my older sister while playing in the field. She took us to pick persimmons."

Huo Ning unfolded the front of his clothes, revealing three small, bright yellow persimmons inside.

"Mom, let's each have one." Huo Chen grinned.

"Okay." Joan bent down and patted their heads.

Huo Fang, who was standing to the side, was stunned.

Back home, Huo Chen and Huo Ning would act like mice before a cat whenever they saw their second aunt.

They almost always try to stay as far away as possible.

But now they actually call their second aunt "Mom" and are so close to her.

Huo Fang had actually wanted to visit Huo Chen and Huo Ning for a long time.

She was afraid her second aunt would beat them, and she was afraid her younger siblings wouldn't have a good life.

Upon seeing her today, Huo Fang realized she had been overthinking things.

Huo Chen and Huo Ning had gained weight, their faces were fuller, and they were wearing new clothes, looking nothing like the village children.

"You two little ones couldn't possibly reach the persimmons, your older sister must have picked them for you, right?"

As Qiao An spoke, she looked at Huo Fang and gave her a kind smile.

"Mom is so smart. There were only three persimmons left on the tree. My older sister climbed up and picked them for us, but she didn't take any for herself." Huo Ning blinked.

"Our eldest sister is so kind to you all, don't you think you should thank her?"

Huo Chen rolled his eyes and realized that Qiao An's words made sense.

"Yes, we should thank our eldest sister."

"Then let's invite Big Sister to dinner," Qiao An said.

"good!"

Huo Ning grabbed Huo Fang's hand, "Big sister, my mom's cooking is amazing! Come in, come in!"

"I...I won't eat anymore, I should go home." Huo Fang was flustered; she had never seen her second aunt so enthusiastic.

Moreover, it's a village tradition not to visit each other during mealtimes, and she didn't want to be called a gluttonous girl.

"It's alright, one more person means one more pair of chopsticks."

Huo Fang shook her head again.

"Hmm? Are you going to wait until your second aunt gets angry before you'll eat?"

Qiao An pretended to be angry, and her eyebrows furrowed.

This terrified Huo Fang.

She knew perfectly well that Qiao An had punched Jiang Xiaogang's mother so hard yesterday that she broke her leg.

With her small frame, one punch from Qiao An would have her collapsed on the bed.

"Second Aunt, I'll eat! I'll eat!"

Huo Fang followed them into the courtyard.

She looked around curiously; the courtyard was tidy and clean.

Upon entering the main room, Huo Fang was even more shocked.

Although there wasn't much furniture, it had everything you'd expect, and many of the items were things she'd never seen before.

Qiao An went to the kitchen to cook, while Huo Chen and Huo Ning played with Huo Fang in the main room.

"Hey lady, this is toothpaste. Brushing your teeth with it feels much better than with tooth powder."

"Big sister, this is Xiangxiang. Mom says that if you apply it to your face every day, your face will still be smooth even in winter."

"Big sister, this is called soap. Mom said it's different from regular soap. It smells better than regular soap. When I first saw it, I thought it was edible and even took a bite."

The two children pulled Huo Fang along, showing her the new and interesting things in the house.

Huo Fang's eyes were full of envy, but she felt nothing else besides envy.

There's an extra person at home today, so Qiao An plans to make dumplings.

She remembered that Huo Fang loved eating dumplings since she was a child, but her family only ate them once or twice a year, and the Huo family favored boys over girls.

When it was Huo Fang's turn, she could only eat two or three at most in one meal.

Making dumplings takes time; by the time she finished kneading the dough, mixing the filling, and wrapping the dumplings, it was already dark.

Qiao An simply took out the frozen chive and pork dumplings she had bought from her spatial storage.

There were twenty in a bag, and I cooked three bags directly in a pot.

Huo Fang was in the main room playing with rag dolls with Huo Ning, and braiding the dolls' hair.

She really envied Huo Ning and Huo Chen.

My second aunt is so good to them. I wish my mother could treat her like that too.

A short while later, the door to the main room opened, and Qiao An came in carrying a plate.

"Fangfang, help your second aunt carry this."

Huo Fang quickly ran over and reached out to take the plate.

When she saw what was on the plate, she froze on the spot.

Are you sure you didn't see that wrong?

Are they dumplings?

Why are we eating dumplings when it's neither a holiday nor a festival?

Is it simply because she came?

Huo Fang's eyes welled up with tears, and she quickly looked up, afraid that she would burst into tears.

"Mom! Are we having dumplings for dinner?" Huo Chen stood on the chair and saw the plate.

"Yes, it's filled with chives and pork. I remember your eldest sister liked it."

Upon hearing this, Huo Fang quickly grabbed the plate and walked to the table. With her back to Qiao An, she casually wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

My second aunt is so kind; I still remember her saying that she loves dumplings with chives and pork filling.

Four plates of dumplings were served.

Next to it are bottles of vinegar, sesame oil, and chili oil.

Huo Fang dared not touch it.

The vinegar is fine, but the sesame oil and chili oil are quite expensive.

Joan noticed her nervousness, so she prepared a dipping sauce for her herself.

"Fangfang, I made a lot of dumplings today, so eat as much as you want, don't be shy with your second aunt."

Before Huo Fang could speak, Qiao An continued, "Being too polite to your second aunt will make me angry."

"I've been in a bad mood lately, and I can't control myself when I get angry."

Huo Fang, who was originally deeply moved, tensed up instantly upon hearing these words and began to eat without saying a word.
