Chapter 231: Temptation from Mother-in-Law (Page 1/2)

Having fallen asleep at 1am last night, Lin Man slept until 7am the next morning. Fortunately, she didn't need to prepare breakfast this morning.

There was a lot of food left over from last night, so Xiao Ya got up early in the morning and took the initiative to heat up the leftovers and bring them to the table.

At the dinner table, Xiao Ya said to Lin Man, "Man Man, after you left last night, we had An An do the one-year-old ceremony."

"Oh? What did An An catch?" Lin Man asked with interest.

"The badge and Qingci's stethoscope." Xiao Ya answered truthfully.

Lin Man turned to look at Huo Qingci and said jokingly, "An An is about to inherit his father's business. Qingci, you have someone to carry on your legacy."

Huo Qingci's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile, but he still pretended to be serious and responded:

"It's hard to say. Take Qingyan for example. When he was one year old, he could hold an egg in one hand, and now he's a pilot soaring in the sky."

Xiao Ya nodded in agreement and added, "Yes, Qingyan grabbed two eggs during the one-year-old ceremony, while Qinghuan grabbed an abacus."

Lin Man asked, "Mom, what did Qingci grab during his one-year-old celebration?"

"A pen. We didn't have a stethoscope at home back then. Qingci grabbed a pen and learned to study. He ranked first in every exam from elementary school to military academy."

Lin Man looked at Huo Qingci. Is he so good at studying? Even better than her, I wonder if their two sons will be able to study in the future.

After breakfast, Xiao Ya wanted to take Lin Man's ride to work, so Huo Junshan took his son's bicycle and set off together.

Lin Man originally wanted to give up her bicycle and let her father-in-law take her mother-in-law, but her mother-in-law insisted on riding her bicycle.

Only after they set off did she realize that her mother-in-law had something to tell her that was not convenient to say at home.

"Manman, that silly boy Qingyan introduced Lin Jing to Sijie, and these two really hit it off..."

"Oh, I knew it a few days ago."

"Manman, Sijie and Qingyan are a little immature, please don't mind them."

"Mom, I don't mind~"

Lin Man thought, Liao Sijie and Huo Qingyan were not her children, so she didn't know whether they understood what it had to do with her.

Lin Man had no idea what Huo Qingyan was thinking. Lin Jing was his good friend and colleague, and Liao Sijie was his cousin. He wanted his cousin to marry a capable man, and Lin Jing was just the right person.

Another point is that he thought that if Lin Jing was with his cousin, would the relationship between his sister-in-law and Lin Jing be eased quickly?

No matter what Huo Qingyan thinks, Lin Man doesn't care. What does it have to do with her whether Liao Sijie marries Lin Jing or not? She won't live with them anyway.

"They plan to register before the New Year. What do you think, Manman?"

"Mom, you shouldn't ask me about this. Should they get married before the New Year? You should ask my aunt and uncle..."

Xiao Ya nodded, "Well, Si Jie wrote a letter to them, and I heard that your father... no, Lin Jing's father agreed.

Comrade Lin Shaoqian has been granted a year of sick leave due to illness and is expected to return next month.

Lin Man didn't say anything else. What did it matter to her whether that man came back or not? Apart from their blood relationship, they hadn't spent a single day together in the past twenty-one years. How could there be any father-daughter relationship between them?

The reason why that person was so persistent in pestering her, trying to make amends with her and begging for her forgiveness was, in the final analysis, just to find some comfort in his heart.

If he had chosen to accompany the woman in the hospital while she waited for delivery, how could she have been robbed?

What’s even more infuriating is that he doted on his adopted daughter so much, even more than he did on his three biological sons!

Although he later claimed that he had severed ties with Lin Weiwei, who can guarantee that he still has Lin Weiwei in his heart?

Even if it is just a dog, after two or three years of raising it, it will become a family, and it will not be easily given up, not to mention his wholehearted devotion to Lin Weiwei over the years?

Not all mistakes can be smoothed over by compensation. What has happened has become an indelible memory.

Therefore, no matter what happens to the Lin family in the future, she will never recognize them again in this life.

Xiao Ya found out Lin Man's true thoughts, and seeing that she really didn't care about Lin Jing and Liao Sijie dating, she naturally wouldn't interfere.

"Manman, the weather is getting colder. It will definitely snow this winter. I plan to make a set of cotton-padded clothes and trousers for Ningning and Anan once a year."

Lin Man then remembered that the temperature on the island was still around 10 to 20 degrees Celsius in winter, while in Beijing the temperature was around minus 10 degrees Celsius. She had to find a tailor to prepare some winter clothes for the children.

Of course, those nice-looking children's cotton-padded jackets and down jackets in the space cannot be taken out to wear. I will go back to the space warehouse tonight and look around to see if I can find some rustic children's cotton-padded jackets.

"Mom, you can make a cotton-padded jacket, right? I'll ask Qingci to bring you some cloth and cotton in a couple of days."

Last time she said she would buy a sewing machine but she didn’t buy it. Fortunately she didn’t buy it. Even if she had bought it, she wouldn’t have time to do it now.

"I can make all these cotton-padded jackets. An An is still young, so in order to make it more convenient for me to change his diaper, I can make him some suspenders and open-crotch pants." Xiao Ya was very thoughtful.

"Okay, then let's make two more." Lin Man agreed.

Then, Xiao Ya continued, "Ningning is growing fast, so I have to knit him two new sweaters this year.

But Manman, if you are too busy and don’t have time, I can find someone else to help knit it for him.”

Lin Man knew that some people had more leisurely jobs and would even bring wool to work and knit a few stitches during their free time.

But even though she has a lot of free time every Tuesday afternoon, Lin Man will never bring personal matters into work.

When I spent the winter on the island before, I basically didn’t need to wear a sweater unless I encountered bad weather such as typhoons, heavy rain or cold waves.

The sweaters that were prepared for Huo Yining in the past can be left to his younger brother Huo Yian to wear when he outgrows them.

Although there are some ready-made machine-knitted children's sweaters in the space warehouse at home, I still have to knit a few for them by hand to keep them warm.

Not only did she have to knit sweaters, she also had to knit them a few pairs of trousers. You know, the winter in the capital is very cold, and without warm clothes like sweaters, trousers, cotton coats and trousers, ordinary people simply couldn't withstand the cold.

It seems that she can only use the lunch break to make sweaters for the children. Lin Man wondered why her space was not ten times faster, so that she would have more time to do other things.

Lin Man pedaled the bicycle with great effort while saying, "Mom, you can just make cotton-padded jackets for Ningning and An'an. I will take the time to knit sweaters for them during lunch break, and I can also knit them on Saturdays and Sundays."

Xiao Ya thought of Ling Fei, who didn't have to go to work. She had plenty of time every day. When she gave birth to the baby, why not let her start learning to knit sweaters?

"Manman, Feifei isn't working, you can ask her to help you knit a sweater."

"Mom, my sister-in-law said last time that she doesn't know how to use a sewing machine to make clothes, so she probably can't knit a sweater either. I think we should not trouble her.

I'll knit the sweaters myself, and then I'll go to the department store to see if there are any ready-made cotton-padded jackets and buy one or two."
