When cousin Lin Shuang's parents passed away, she was adopted by Lin Man's parents and became the family's darling.
Lin Man, on the other hand, became the sandwiched punching bag,...
Chapter 214: Children's Talk (Page 1/2)
After returning home, Huo Qingci locked his bicycle. Lin Man asked Liao Sijie to take a rest while she held their youngest son.
Children who can't walk yet but want to learn to walk are actually the most difficult to take care of. Lin Man put Huo Yi on the ground, held his hands, and walked him slowly forward.
Huo Yining stared at his "little tricycle" and came to Lin Man. "Mom, does my brother have no bones? Why can't he walk yet?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Everyone can walk when they are born. An An is slowly learning to walk. Just wait, he will be able to walk on his own soon."
Huo Yian turned around and grinned at Lin Man, "Mommy, give me a hug."
"Oh my baby, he can actually say mommy hug me. Not bad, not bad! Talking is no problem, but he still needs to learn to walk.
Your brother was already walking steadily when he was less than a year old, but you can't even stand on your own yet."
When Huo Yining heard Lin Man praising him, he couldn't help but show a hint of pride on his face. He even raised his head high in a daze, as if announcing his outstanding performance to the world.
He confidently said to Lin Man, "Mom, look, am I a genius? Even Grandpa said that I have very developed athletic ability and am very suitable for military service."
Lin Man gently picked up her youngest son, Huo Yian, her eyes full of love and admiration. She smiled and responded to her eldest son's request for praise: "Ningning, do you want to join the army when you grow up?"
Huo Yining shook his head, seemingly not satisfied with the choice of joining the army.
He said with a determined look, "Being a soldier is too hard. I have to go through arduous training every day. I want to be a grandfather!"
Lin Man was very surprised after hearing what her eldest son said, "What? What did you say? You said you want to be a grandfather? Why don't you be my ancestor!"
Huo Yining pouted and replied stubbornly, "I just want to be a grandfather!
Every time my grandfather took me to training, the soldiers would salute him respectfully and shout "Hello, Chief" in unison!
And Taigong would kindly respond to them, "Comrades, thank you for your hard work."
I also want to be respected by people like Taigong, and have them call me "chief." Isn't that okay?
After hearing her son's explanation, Lin Man was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
She finally understood that the little guy didn't really want to be a grandfather, but rather yearned for the respected and admired status of a grandfather.
Perhaps deep in the child's innocent heart, a seed of desire to become a great person has been planted.
Liao Sijie, who was standing aside, laughed heartily, "Cousin-in-law, Ningning talks very funny. During the day, when I take An'an for a walk, Ningning will ride her bicycle and follow me for a stroll.
One of the older sisters asked him: Ningning, who is prettier, your mother or your aunt? Guess what he answered?
Lin Man suddenly became interested, "What did he say?"
"He said my mom is pretty and my aunt is funny!"
Lin Man chuckled, "Can you tell the difference between what's interesting and what's funny?"
Huo Yining got off the bicycle and said, "Mom, let your brother ride my bicycle for a while, and I will tell you what is beautiful and what is funny."
Lin Man held her little son and gently placed him on the seat of the children's bicycle. There was a backrest behind the seat, so he sat there steadily.
Lin Man looked at Huo Yining and said, "Now can you tell me what is beautiful and what is funny?"
"Mom and I are very good-looking, but Aunt Minmin is very funny."

"What's so funny about them?"
"Her eyebrows are like caterpillars, her eyes are ping-pong balls, her nose is like a garlic, and her mouth is like a tiger's mouth. It's so funny."
Lin Man didn't expect her son to observe so carefully. Qin Xiaomin had thick eyebrows and big eyes. Her eyebrows and eyes looked pretty good if you looked at them alone. However, her bulbous nose and big mouth really ruined that pretty face.
"Ningning, don't be so rude next time, okay? Don't say your aunt looks funny. If someone calls you fat, would you be upset?"
Huo Yining grumbled and said, "They originally called me Fatty, and some aunts called me Little Fatty. They also said that I was as fat as a pig and called me a fat pig.
I told them I wasn't fatter than a pig, I wasn't a fat pig, pigs are covered in hair and I'm not, pigs eat bran and I eat rice. I explained but they didn't listen, it was really annoying."
Lin Man's expression suddenly turned icy. She stared at Ning Ning and asked sternly, "Ning Ning, tell me, who called you a fat pig?"
Ning Ning pouted and replied with a look of grievance: "It's that Aunt Qin. She is so ugly herself, but she still scolds me..."
Lin Man turned to look at Liao Sijie and asked, "What on earth is going on?"
Liao Sijie shook her head innocently and said, "Cousin, I really don't know about this. I didn't hear Qin Xiaomin scold Ningning."
"When my cousin was holding my brother and chatting with Grandma Tian, Aunt Qin called me a fat pig. She also said that my mother was a fox spirit..." Ningning felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke, tears welling up in her eyes.
Lin Man never expected that Qin Xiaomin would be such a person.
If she wasn't worried about hurting her son, she really wanted to take Ningning to the house immediately and teach Qin Xiaomin a lesson.
She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and then said to Liao Sijie, "Don't bring Ningning to chat with them anymore. These women only know how to gossip about family matters and talk nonsense all day long.
If Ning Ning and An An stayed with them for too long, they would become petty and lack manners.”
"Ningning, don't listen to their nonsense! You're so cute!
After all, you are currently in the growth stage, so you may look a little chubby due to good absorption, but once you grow taller, you will naturally not look so fat anymore."
Huo Yining nodded obediently and responded, "Yeah, Mom, you are absolutely right!
Grandma Tian also praised my beauty and said I looked as blessed as the dolls in New Year pictures."
Lin Man thought to herself that it would be better to send her son to nursery as soon as possible so that he could play with other children.
If he is always allowed to stay with this group of women, it may be detrimental to his physical and mental health.
Especially that Qin Xiaomin, who actually dared to slander her and call her a vixen in front of her son. It was so despicable!
She really couldn't figure out what she had done to offend her, and why she inexplicably turned into a vixen?
And how could her precious son be called a fat pig?
It seems that I must find a suitable opportunity to teach her a lesson and let her understand the consequences of talking nonsense.
She had never offended her before, so why should she be slandered like this? Since she was called a fat pig, she would find a way to turn her son into a real fat pig.
