Chapter 901: Soul-Searching Questions From Sister

To avoid damaging the floor, the hunters unloaded their heavy weapons and placed them in the hall, then sat in a circle around the dining table.

Hayata's uncle Pine is not at home right now, but her aunt Mapel and stepsister Nellie are.

Aunt Mapel was very surprised to see Hayata, who had not been home for a long time, come back with her boyfriend and companions.

While letting Neli make tea and refreshments to entertain the guests, he picked up a basket and prepared to go out to buy groceries, saying he wanted to cook a big meal.

Nellie, who works as a waiter at a hunter's gathering place, knows very well how outrageous the hunters' appetite is.

I quickly warned my mother before going out, "Sister and the others, buy their ingredients for three people."

He looked back at Gordon's size, was stunned, and quickly changed his mind, "No, buy it for five people."

Aunt Marpel responded repeatedly.

Hayata was worried that her aunt wouldn't be able to take that much, so she asked Pork Chop and Pandan to help.

Pandan, who was looking at the refreshments, quickly threw two jam cookies into her mouth and chased after Pork Chop.

While Nellie went to make tea, Hayata left her seat and wandered around.

Everywhere is clean, the furniture, kitchen utensils and sundries are neatly placed. There are flowers picked in the yard in the vase in front of the windowsill. The fragrance is not strong but very fresh.

It's so much better than when my uncle lived alone!

Your room is still there? It also seems to be cleaned regularly. The bed may be a little too small for me now, and my feet will stretch out when I lie on it.

The attic that was originally used to store sundries was transformed into Nellie's room. Why are Nellie's bedside tables filled with photos of herself?

While Hayata was wandering around the room, in the living room, Nellie was happily pouring tea for the guests.

She is quite proficient in her movements. Although many people said she was a nerd since she was a child, she has perfected it during the two years she worked as a poster girl at the assembly hall.

Anhir looked at the tea set in his hand with slight surprise.

Like tea, it is not considered high-end, but this is an evaluation based on his background and vision as a wealthy businessman and aristocratic young master.

For ordinary citizens, it is already considered a very high level, but it is not the kind of luxury product that is divorced from cost-effectiveness.

Aunt Hayata knows how to live a good life, right?

Gordon, who rarely drank tea, could not taste the quality of the tea leaves and tea-making techniques, let alone the origin and grade of the tea sets.

He carefully controlled his strength, fearing that he would accidentally crush the thin porcelain tea cup.

After pouring tea for Gordon and the others, Nellie also poured a cup for Hayata and herself. After shouting, "Sister, come and have tea~!", she sat at the table and stared at Gordon.

Gordon, who was stared at, put down the tea cup with a dry smile.

"Brother-in-law, when will you and your sister raise a child?"

From the title to the question itself, it was quite explosive. Gordon was trembling at the time.

If the teacup was still in my hand, it would have been shattered.

An Xil, who was drinking tea slowly, almost choked. He put down the tea cup and looked at the little girl who was about the same age as Feng Ying with a very subtle look.

Hayata also walked back to the table at this time.

Noticing the strange expressions on Gordon and Ancil's face, she asked casually: "What's wrong? What were you talking about just now?"

Of course Gordon would not tell the truth, and Ancil had no intention of selling this girl with glasses who seemed to be having fun on the spot.

But Naili seemed to be more stupid than Feng Ying. She answered honestly: "I asked my brother-in-law when he and his sister will have a child."

Hayata was stiff for two seconds, and then, with veins pulsing, he grabbed Nellie and kneaded her.

"You are so grown up now, but you still can't control your silly mouth!" As if recalling the fights she had with someone when she was a child, Hayata couldn't help but slap her sister's butt a few more times.

Gordon didn't know for a moment whether he should persuade or not.

After a lesson, Hayata raised his eyebrows and asked: "Say! Who asked you to ask such a question!"

Neli held her butt in grievance, "No one asked me to ask."

"Then why did you even think of asking this?!"

Nellie muttered, "Last time I heard Uncle Pine and Mom complaining, saying that if you are worried that you don't have the energy to take care of the baby, you can send it to them to take care of it, so I asked."

Ancil was suppressing a laugh, and Gordon was concentrating on eating his tea, pretending not to hear.

"So sister, get ready."

"Don't ask!"

Under the threat of force from Hayata, Nellie had to avoid this topic that she cared about.

Talk about "innocuous" things, such as sister, what do you like about your brother-in-law, who fell in love with whom first, why are you not married yet, etc.

So much so that before her mother, Mapel, came back from buying groceries, she was beaten several more times.

Mapel bought a lot of ingredients, so much that even the two Ellu, including Pork Chop and Pandan, couldn't handle it.

Minagard is a coastal city, and there is a fish market in the city, so in addition to large pieces of animal meat, they also bought a lot of seafood.

When she was about to cook, Mapel was snatched away from the iron pot and shovel by Pork Chop.

It has not cooked properly for a long time and its paws are itchy.

After bursts of dazzling operations, big dishes began to be served one after another. It was only when the table was filled with mouth-watering dishes and the plates were almost empty that the pork chop put out the stove fire.

At this time, the sun had set, and there was movement from the courtyard gate.

The owner of this house is back.

Since he and Mapel formed a family, and his two daughters, who were not his own, grew up and started their own businesses, Pine's mental state has been much more relaxed.

More than a year ago, he quit his higher-paying and more dangerous caravan job and switched to working in the Chamber of Commerce's store.

Hayata and the others naturally supported this decision.

The income of a high-ranking hunter is quite considerable. If Pine had not insisted on doing something on his own and refused to take the children's money, Hayata would have wanted him to retire early.

Away from the life of running a business, he can now go home every day, enjoy the dinner cooked by his wife, and occasionally go to the tavern to have a drink with Amos.

He had never dared to think about such a day before.

But his life goal has not yet been achieved.

Since Hayata was a little girl, he has had a goal, which is to buy a house for Hayata in a central city like East Doruma, and then watch her get married and have children.

Now that the plan to buy a house has been strongly rejected by Hayata, it is unknown when the remaining part of the goal can be achieved.

I do have a boyfriend, Hayata mentioned it in her letter.

That guy has been to my house before, and although he looks scary, he should be a very reliable person after a short time together. Amos also thinks highly of that kid.

But why haven't I heard any follow-up news?

Pine, full of emotion and regret, stepped into his own courtyard, and then saw that muscular thing, which was half a person tall when it was lying down, and he didn't know whether it was a dog or a wolf.

He was so scared that he almost screamed.

Fortunately, he had good observation skills and noticed the big dog in time.

Let's call it a dog, it was wearing a saddle and a backpack. He realized that it should be something raised by someone, not a monster, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

With his back against the courtyard wall, he carefully walked around to the front door of his house. Before he could knock on the door, the door was pushed open.

His niece, who was already half a head taller than him, jumped and hugged him.

"Uncle Pine!"
