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 406: Impure Purpose for Approaching (Page 1/2)
Huo Qingci certainly didn't know that Sun Jian was plotting against him. If he had known, he would have certainly laughed in disdain. How could he be so foolish as to wait for someone else to plot against him?
He knew in his heart that Sun Jian was a smiling tiger. On the surface, he was talking and laughing with him, but in fact, this person not only liked to flatter, but was also very insidious and always liked to stab people in the back.
During this period of time, he had been on guard against Sun Jian. He was deeply afraid that Sun Jian would deliberately frame her, so he was always on guard.
Huo Qingci didn't need to work the night shift tonight, so as soon as he got off work, he packed up and left the hospital.
After Sun Jian saw Huo Qingci leave, he deliberately walked to the nurses' station and took a stroll.
When he saw Luo Can, he immediately showed a concerned expression and asked, "Nurse Luo, why haven't you left work yet? Hurry up and leave. Don't starve yourself."
Luo Can looked at Sun Jian in surprise, and couldn't help wondering in his heart: Doctor Sun is already 37 or 38 years old, and his child is already in his teens. Could it be that he is interested in her?
However, Dr. Sun has such small eyes, is not good-looking, and is much older than her, so she would not like him.
Luo Can asked in return: "Doctor Sun, why don't you go home after get off work? Your wife should have prepared dinner for you."
Sun Jian said: "Yes. But I may be back later..."
Luo Can asked curiously, "Why?"
Sun Jian explained, "I'm going to the supply and marketing cooperative later, and my home is near the family compound, so I'm not in a hurry to go home. By the way, do you live in the same military compound as Dr. Huo?"
Luo Can nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Sun Jian smiled and said, "Oh, nothing, just asking casually."
Then he asked, "Nurse Luo, Dr. Huo is gone. Why don't you take his bike back? It would take you dozens of minutes to walk back."
Luo Can replied somewhat embarrassedly: "I don't want to trouble others. Besides, I think walking is good too. It can exercise my body."
Doesn't Luo Can want to ride Huo Qingci's bike? Of course she wants to, but Huo Qingci doesn't know how to ride a bike to take her.
Sun Jian suddenly suggested, "Actually, you can buy a bicycle so that you and Dr. Huo can ride bicycles to and from get off work together. After all, your brother Huo's family is not far away, and having a bicycle is indeed much more convenient.
Luo Can couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Haha, Dr. Sun, you're so thoughtful! When I get married, I'll ask my partner to buy me a bicycle so I don't have to walk to and from get off work."
Sun Jian also laughed: "Yeah, life should be comfortable. By the way, Nurse Luo, you haven't found a partner yet?"
Luo Can's smile froze for a moment, then he returned to normal: "No, I'm too busy with work and don't have time to look for one."
Sun Jian said with concern: "You can't just focus on work and ignore your personal problems. It's hard to find a partner when you're older."
Is Dr. Sun saying that it's hard for her to find a partner due to her age? Why is Dr. Sun so concerned about her personal problems? Is he suspicious of something?
Luo Can shrugged helplessly. "I know, Dr. Sun, thank you for your concern. But things like love can't be rushed, so let it take its course."
"You're right. When fate arrives, you'll naturally meet the right person. I wish you find your ideal husband soon!"
"There are so many talented young people in our hospital, don't you like any of them?" Sun Jian asked deliberately.
Luo Can's heart skipped a beat. Did this Doctor Sun know something? "Thank you, Doctor Sun, for your kind words."
Luo Can's smile froze slightly. She realized that her expression just now might be a little unnatural, but she quickly returned to normal.
She shrugged helplessly, understanding what Sun Jian was worried about, but she didn't want to explain too much.
Sun Jian smiled teasingly, "Our hospital has many young talents. Don't you have any interest in any of them?"
Hearing this, Luo Can's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and a figure flashed through his mind.
However, she quickly suppressed this thought and responded with a smile: "Haha, Doctor Sun, you're joking. I haven't thought about this yet."
Sun Jian looked at Luo Can with a half-smile. What else did he not understand? This Nurse Luo was obviously attracted to someone. They had all been gossiping about Dr. Huo before, so Nurse Luo probably liked him, right?
"Nurse Luo, you're not young anymore. It's time to find someone who will love you. If you don't like the men in the hospital, I can introduce you to one."
"Introduce someone? Doctor Sun, who do you want to introduce me to?"
"I'm going to introduce you to my cousin."
They say that those who show affection for no reason are either treacherous or thieves. So why did Dr. Sun introduce her to someone? Was he up to something?
Sun Jian noticed that Luo Can was a little suspicious of him, so he quickly explained, "My cousin works in the military garment factory."
Luo Can asked casually, "Doctor Sun, how old is your cousin?"
"Twenty-five."
"Twenty-five and still not married?"
"No, I haven't found the right one yet."
Luo Can looked at Sun Jian's appearance and guessed that his cousin must not be good-looking either. She herself had pretty features, so if she found a man with average looks, how could she improve the genes of her offspring?
Dr. Huo's two sons are like the boy Sudhana, very handsome and very likable.
How great it would be if she could give birth to such a handsome son?
However, there are not many men as outstanding as Dr. Huo. He is the head of a group and is not comparable to ordinary people.
The only pity is that she has a wife and children, and Dr. Huo seems to be suspicious of her today.
Seeing that Luo Can was lost in her memories, Sun Jian did not continue to disturb her. Some things could not be pressed too hard, lest she become suspicious.
As long as she has feelings for Huo Qingci, there is still a long way to go and he will help them both.
Huo Qingci returned home, had dinner, and then took his wife, children, and grandfather back to the space.
Huo Li looked at the shaved pig on the door panel and asked Huo Qingci, "Why did you think of killing a pig today? Didn't you say you would kill it on Little New Year's Eve?"
Lin Man suddenly interrupted, "Grandpa, I asked Qing Ci to kill this pig. I was planning to make some more jar meat and bacon..."
"Oh, just kill the pig. At worst, you can kill another one during the New Year."
The family slaughtered a pig, and my granddaughter-in-law is going to make meat in a jar, so their family will not lack meat for at least two months.
Huo Li planned to invite He Xudong and He Wen to his home for dinner in two days to pave the way for his eldest grandson.
Huo Qingci first gutted the pig and took out the internal organs, then cut off the pig's head and trotters, removed the ribs and divided the pork. Lin Man was busy cleaning the internal organs, while Huo Li took care of his two little great-grandchildren.
They were busy until nine o'clock. Huo Qingci sent his grandfather out of the space. Lin Man helped the children wash and put them to bed, and then continued to work, one to can sausages and the other to fry meat in a jar.

The two of them were busy until eleven o'clock before they finished. The next morning, Huo Qingci didn't even have breakfast. He went to give his parents half a pig's liver, five pounds of pork, five pounds of spare ribs, and a pig's trotter.
Huo Junshan was a little surprised to see his son bringing so much meat. "It's not a festival, why did you send so much meat?"
"I saw someone slaughtering a pig, so I bought some extra and will share half with you. Isn't Qinghuan here? Let him have some good nourishment."
Huo Junshan smiled and said, "You haven't had breakfast yet, right? We're having egg fried rice this morning. Do you want some?"
"No, I'll go back to the hospital early, eat some noodles in the cafeteria, and then go to work. It would be bad if I go too late."
He is now being watched by Dr. Sun, who is waiting to find him making a mistake. How could he let his rivals find any evidence against him?
Huo Qingci arrived at the hospital cafeteria early, ordered a bowl of noodles, found a table to sit down, and was about to eat the noodles when Luo Can pulled another nurse named Li to sit down as well.
Luo Can smiled and greeted, "Good morning, Doctor Huo. Why are you in the cafeteria for breakfast today?"
Huo Qingci raised his head, glanced at the two people sitting opposite him, and continued eating noodles.
Li Jia pulled Luo Can and said, "Cancan, let's not disturb Dr. Huo from eating noodles. Let's take breakfast back to the duty room and eat."
As Luo Can's best friend, Li Jia naturally knew that Luo Can liked Dr. Huo. She advised her several times, but she still fell in love with him.
Seeing Huo Qingci didn't even raise his head, Luo Can stood up awkwardly, "Jia Jia, let's go!"
Huo Qingci thought that if Luo Can continued to stay in their department, it would only cause more trouble. It seemed that he had to use his connections to transfer her to another department.
The vice president will come to their house for dinner tomorrow. He will then talk to President He about it to see if he can get her away.
Although it was a bit unkind to do so, he also didn't want to see Luo Can have any misunderstandings or expectations of him again.
Lin Man thought about making dumplings for Huo Yining as she had promised him, so she got up early in the morning to let the dough rise and roll out the dumpling wrappers. She cooked a hundred dumplings, but unfortunately Huo Qingci left early.
Huo Yining scooped the dumplings with a spoon and started eating them in big mouthfuls. "Mom, the mushroom and pork dumplings are delicious. I also want to eat the cabbage and pork dumplings."
"Got it, I'll do it for you tonight."
Huo Li said, "Xiao Man, I have to go to the hospital around eleven o'clock. You can cook a box of dumplings for Qing Ci. He may not be back for lunch."
"good."
If Huo Qingci was busy, he would not come back at noon. Lin Man thought that since her grandfather was going to the hospital soon, she might as well prepare some food for Huo Qingci so that he would not have to go to the cafeteria for lunch.
After breakfast, Lin Man took out the pig's head, pig's trotters and pig's large intestines that she had processed last night and stewed them.
At eleven o'clock, Huo Li came to the kitchen and asked Lin Man, "Xiao Man, are the dumplings cooked?"
Lin Man picked up a bag and handed it to Huo Li, "Grandpa, there's a box of dumplings and a box of braised food in it."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. I might not be back until half past twelve. I'll be back for lunch later."
"Got it. An An and I will wait for you to come back for lunch."
If you have ready-made braised food at home, just heat up a plate of it, steam a bowl of minced meat and egg custard, and then stir-fry some vegetables.
As soon as Huo Li left, Lin Man found three sweet potatoes, threw them into the stove, buried them with charcoal, and left the kitchen.
When she returned to the living room and found a raw egg with its shell in the cat bowl, she knew it must be her son's good deed.
"Huo Yining, what are you doing?"
"Mom, kids like to eat eggs, and I guess kittens like them too."
"The kitten is not a human. Cats only like to eat dried fish. Don't feed her anything else."
Huo Yining lowered his eyes, "Oh, I see. What about the egg in the bowl? Mom won't cook it for me, will she?"
"Don't worry about this, go wash your hands."
Huo Yining walked up to Lin Man and said to her in a baby voice, "Mom, don't be angry. An An is very good."
Lin Man's heart softened when she saw her well-behaved little son. An An was still so good.
"Okay, Mommy's not angry. An An, I'll make whatever you want to eat."
"Mom, I want to eat strawberries."
"Okay, Mom will get you some strawberries later."
Lin Man took the cat bowl to the backyard, poured the raw eggs into the trash can, and then carefully cleaned the bowl. Then, she grabbed a handful of dried fish and put them into the bowl.
At this time, Huo Yining came over after washing his hands and said, "Mom, let me feed the kitten. Give me the cat bowl."
Lin Man smiled and nodded in agreement, and reminded him to come back and wash his hands after feeding the cat.
Huo Yining replied happily, "Okay, I got it!" Then he walked towards the kitten with the cat bowl.
After washing her hands, Lin Man scattered a handful of strawberry seeds beside the courtyard wall and began to stimulate the growth of strawberry seedlings.
She gently activated her special ability, and the strawberries instantly blossomed and bore fruit, growing at an astonishing rate.
Then she took out a fruit basket from the space and picked all the ripe strawberries.
She pulled out the unripe strawberries and seedlings and threw them into the space to feed the fish in the pond.
At this moment, Lin Man suddenly realized that strawberries can not only be grown in soil, but also hydroponically.
She couldn't help but blame herself for being stupid and wondering why she hadn't thought of this method earlier.
So, she decided to try sowing strawberry seeds directly into the water next time she planted strawberries to see if she could successfully induce growth.
She put the basket of strawberries into the space, washed a bowl of strawberries and brought it to the two children.
Huo Li came to the hospital and went to the department to look for Huo Qingci with his lunch box. When Luo Can saw him, he hurried to meet him.
"Mr. Huo, why are you here?" Luo Can said with a smile on his face.
Huo Li always felt that this girl was a little familiar, as if she had come to their house last time and had something to do with his grandson.
"Well, hello, I'm looking for Dr. Huo Qingci, is he here?"
Luo Can smiled and replied, "Doctor Huo is in the operating room with the director and may not come out for a while. Is there anything you want to talk to him about?"
"I came to the hospital for something, and I wanted to help his wife bring him lunch."
"Mr. Huo, how about you leave Dr. Huo's lunch with me and I'll give it to him later." Luo Can suggested enthusiastically.
Huo Li frowned. He always felt that Luo Can seemed to be too enthusiastic towards him. Could it be that she had some ideas about his grandson?
That won't do. His grandson is already married and has two children. He can't let his grandson make a mistake and ruin his future.
So he decisively refused: "No need, I'll come back later." After that, he turned and left.
Luo Can was left standing there, looking confused and lost.
