Chapter 428: Liao Sijie's Expectations Failed (Page 1/2)

There was a clanging sound coming from the kitchen. It turned out that the two women had already started working.

Lin Man decided to go and see how good their cooking skills were, and to observe whether their knife skills and movements were proficient, and whether they paid attention to hygiene.

She walked into the kitchen and saw the older woman chopping vegetables skillfully with a deft technique and superb knife skills.

The younger ones are a little unfamiliar, but they pay great attention to hygiene and wash the food repeatedly.

When the meal was served, Huo Qingci had just returned home. Huo Li warmly invited the two to dine together and praised the dishes on the table, praising their good cooking.

The older woman immediately and attentively served Huo Li rice and dishes, while the younger woman took the initiative to take care of Huo Yian and fed him gently.

Lin Man watched all this silently, knowing that these were all manifestations of their efforts to seize opportunities. But she did not express any opinions, but just ate quietly.

During the meal, Lin Man tried every dish they made, and gave positive reviews regardless of whether it tasted good or not, saying that it tasted very good.

After dinner, the two women competed to wash the dishes and wipe the table in order to stay, and they were extremely active.

Lin Man understands that only competition can inspire people's motivation, so they express themselves in this way.

After dinner, Huo Li asked them to go back first and he would inform them of the results in two days. Of course, before leaving, he gave each of them a bag of apples.

As soon as the two left, Huo Li turned to look at Lin Man and Huo Qingci and asked them what they thought of these two people.

Huo Qingyan was the first to express his opinion: "I think the food they cook tastes about the same, but the older one seems to be more capable of handling things."

Huo Li chuckled softly and explained, "That's because she used to work as a nanny in the home of a leader named Yang for eight or nine years."

Lin Man was puzzled after hearing this and couldn't help asking, "Since she is so capable of handling things, why was she sent back in the end?"

Huo Li shook his head, saying he didn't know the specific reason. "Maybe it's because she's too good at handling things. Old Yang didn't elaborate on the specific situation."

Lin Man was silent for a moment, then continued to ask, "So what do you think of Liu Qiao?"

Huo Li thought for a moment and replied, "Liu Qiao's hands and feet are not as nimble as Chen Guizhi's, and she is not as good at handling things as she is, but she is very serious about her work."

Huo Qingci nodded in agreement: "I feel the same way, but Liu Qiao only came out to work because her husband is gone."

Lin Man originally planned to keep Liu Qiao, but when she learned that Liu Qiao's husband had passed away, this idea disappeared without a trace in an instant.

As the saying goes, "Trouble is the most common at a widow's doorstep." This statement is not groundless; it must contain some truth. Lin Man knew this very well and naturally did not want to cause trouble.

What's more, Liu Qiao is only 30 years old now, and Huo Qingci is 29 years old this year, which is the prime of his life.

If Liu Qiao stayed at home to help take care of the children, what would happen if she fell in love with her man? What if Liu Qiao really fell in love with Huo Qingci?

Huo Qingci is now the deputy director of the hospital. He has a prominent position and is handsome. There must be many women who secretly admire him.

The most difficult thing to understand in this world is human nature, and what is even more difficult to grasp than human nature is the human heart.

Lin Man naturally understood this, but she would not use a woman to verify Huo Qingci's sincerity to her, because many times, human nature cannot stand the test.

As the saying goes: "Never test human nature, because you never know how fragile it is."

Huo Li asked Lin Man: "Xiao Man, which one are you going to choose?"

Lin Man replied, "Grandpa, there's no rush. I want to think about it again, but Comrade Liu Qiao can be ruled out first. Comrade Chen Guizhi seems okay, but she's not very hygienic."

He doesn't even wash the chopping board he used for cutting meat, and immediately goes on to cut vegetables. He uses the same basin of water for washing vegetables over and over again, and eats the vegetables that fall on the table in his bowl. There are many other examples like this.

From the grandfather's perspective, he might praise her for being thrifty and managing the household.

Lin Man just thinks it is unhygienic. They now hire a nanny mainly to help take care of the children.

If Comrade Chen Guizhi fed her son and gave the child the food she had chewed in her mouth, wouldn't that be disgusting?

Huo Qingci knew that Lin Man didn't like any of them, so he said to Huo Li, "Grandpa, take your time finding a nanny. Don't be too anxious."

Huo Li sighed, "Forget it, both of them have retreated."

Lin Man thought that there were still five months until the due date, and she would eventually find someone to take care of the child if she looked for them slowly.

She would rather find a young girl who knows nothing at first, and as long as she is obedient, she can teach her slowly, than find an old-fashioned man with his own ideas.

Lin Man suddenly stepped forward and offered her opinion: "Grandpa, it's better to find a teenage girl. She has strong potential."

Huo Qingci agreed, "Many teenage girls in rural areas are very efficient at their work, and most importantly, they are very obedient and only want to make money and do their jobs well."

He also discovered that the two people his grandfather helped find were both city people, and they had one thing in common: they were eager to show themselves and only did things their own way.

The nanny Lin Man wants is someone who is obedient, hygienic, and does things according to her requirements.

Huo Li said: "There are many young girls from rural areas. They are indeed more hardworking. They have not seen much of the world and are very timid."

"Grandpa, as long as the person can do good things, it's fine. Let's choose an honest and kind girl. If she doesn't know how to do something, we can slowly teach her. Manman is still five months away from giving birth."

Huo Li nodded, "Okay, let's take our time and find the most obedient one."

Lin Man left the matter of finding a nanny to her grandfather and Huo Qingci, and didn't bother with it anymore.

On June 8, Huo Qingci's aunt Xiao Rong returned. The next day, she came to the Huo family with a lot of bags to thank Huo Li.

Lin Man invited her to have dinner at her home. During the meal and conversation, she found out that every time her aunt sent seafood, she asked Liao Sijie to deliver half of it. Liao Sijie almost never delivered any, except for the last time.

After lunch, Xiao Rong took Lin Man's hand and said, "Xiao Man, my daughter Si Jie is so ignorant and has made things difficult for you. I apologize to you on her behalf."

"Aunt, the past is the past, we must look forward."

What kind of mother would keep apologizing when her child does something wrong? Liao Sijie is an ungrateful person. She can't keep interacting with such a person. If her aunt hadn't said a few words to her, she would have continued to be nice to Liao Sijie in the future.

When Xiao Rong returned to Liao Sijie's house, she scolded her. Liao Sijie was so angry that she had a stomachache and had an attack that night.

Lin Jing sent her to the hospital, but she said she didn't feel any pain anymore. Thinking that her due date was approaching, he simply let her stay in the hospital. As a result, she stayed there for several days, but there was no sign of labor.

Xiao Rong advised her, "Si Jie, why don't you go back? If the attack comes back, it will cost money to stay in the hospital."

"Mom, are you trying to kill me? My due date has arrived and I have to stay in the hospital to be safe."

"Okay, then you stay in the hospital, but I don't have many days off left. I'll be back in a few days."

Liao Sijie was also worried. If her mother passed away, who would take care of her during the confinement period and help her raise the child?

The due date arrived, but the baby didn't come out. Liao Sijie was worried that she would die during childbirth.

So she begged her mother, "Mom, please go find my eldest cousin and ask him to tell the doctor that I want a caesarean section."

"What? Why do you want a C-section? These days, only pregnant women with difficult labor get C-sections. And the doctors say it's normal to do it a week earlier or later."

"Mom, but I haven't shown any signs of labor yet. It's been over a day."

"Don't worry, girl. I'll go ask the doctor what he says."

Xiao Rong went to ask the doctor, and the doctor told her that the child was fine and there was no problem. They would only perform a caesarean section on her if Liao Sijie had not given birth a week after her due date.

I don’t know if it was because Liao Sijie was too anxious or nervous, but the pain started at four in the afternoon of that day and continued until ten-thirty the next evening, when he finally gave birth to the baby.

Not only did she suffer pain for nearly thirty hours, but the baby was also huge, weighing at least 7.32 jin. When Liao Sijie was born, he also had a cut made on his lower body.

I thought it was a fat boy, but it turned out to be a fat girl.

In the delivery room, the doctor held the baby in his arms and showed it to Liao Sijie. "Comrade Liao Sijie, take a look. This is your daughter."

"A daughter? No, no, no, I should have given birth to a son. You must have replaced my son."

The midwife's face was full of black lines. She thought this woman must be sick. Who changed the child? She was the only one who gave birth at this time of night. The other women were still moaning in bed and had not given birth yet.

"Comrade Liao Sijie, at 8 o'clock, a woman gave birth to a daughter and she has been taken back to the ward.

The other two women who entered the delivery room at about the same time as you haven't given birth yet, and now you've given birth to a daughter. So where did we send your son?"

Liao Sijie was not confused. She knew that what the nurse said was true. Her mother and Lin Jing were staring at the door of the delivery room, and she was awake the whole time she gave birth.

As soon as the baby came out, the midwife cleaned the baby a little and held it for her to see. There was only one baby in the delivery room now, so whose baby was it if it wasn't hers?

She just didn't want to believe this fact and was deceiving herself.

Tears welled up in Liao Sijie's eyes, and she felt that the pain in her body was not as great as the pain in her heart.

Song Jingjing's bad mouth turned out to be right. She actually gave birth to a daughter this time, and she was quite big, weighing 7.32 catties, comparable to her cousin's son Huo Yining.

When she said she was pregnant with a son, Lin Jing would find a way to get her two chickens every month, and he also gave her all the supplies given to him by the government.

From pregnancy to childbirth, she gained a total of 48 kilograms, and there was no place on her body that was not fat. Liao Sijie felt that she had lost a lot this time. Her figure was completely out of shape in order to give birth to this daughter.

She couldn't help but worry whether Lin Jing would dislike her, dislike her for not giving birth to a son, and dislike her out of shape figure. Thinking of this, Liao Sijie couldn't help but shed tears.

The midwife did not comfort Liao Sijie when she saw her crying. She was used to this kind of thing. Some people cried loudly because they did not give birth to a son, while others cursed the sky and the earth in the delivery room because they did not give birth to a son.

Some cried with joy at the birth of a son, while others climbed down from the delivery bed with such excitement that they immediately...

Life is full of different situations, and she has met all kinds of mothers. There are also many people like Liao Sijie who are unwilling to believe that they have given birth to a daughter. She is no longer surprised.

When the midwife carried Liao Sijie's fat daughter out, Xiao Rong was very happy that she had finally become a grandmother. Lin Jing was stunned for a moment, but then he accepted it with pleasure.

After all, this was his first child, and who wouldn't love their own child? The reason he was lost for a few seconds just now was because Liao Sijie kept telling him that she was pregnant with a son this time.

So he also thought that Liao Sijie would give birth to a son, but unexpectedly it was a daughter.

However, he quickly accepted it. After all, he would have a son or a daughter, so it didn't matter whether he had a son first or a daughter first. Even if Liao Sijie really couldn't give birth to a daughter, he would accept it.

His brother had two sons and a daughter, so the Lin family had a son to take over, not to mention that his brother was not married yet.

"Xiao Jing, look how fat this baby is. No wonder Si Jie hasn't given birth to a baby for so long..."

"Mom, I know it was hard for Esther to give birth. Don't worry, I won't dislike her for giving birth to a daughter. We are still young and we will eventually have a son. Even if we don't, it doesn't matter."

Xiao Rong couldn't guess whether what Lin Jing said was true or not. Regardless of whether it was true or not, the fact that he said so showed that he was not extremely patriarchal.

So she smiled and said, "Xiao Jing, you are still young and can have a baby anytime you want. Look at this girl's eyes and nose, don't they look like you?"

Lin Jing looked at the baby girl in his mother-in-law's arms. She looked bigger than the baby girl who was sent to the ward. It seemed that half of the old hen he bought was consumed by her.

Lin Jing was very pleased, "Mom, the baby has just been born, so I can't tell who she looks like, but her head definitely looks like me."

Xiao Ya's mouth twitched. She wondered if her son-in-law disliked her daughter's shortness. No matter how short she was, she was still 1.6 meters tall.

But her daughter is so fat that she looks very short. After she comes out of the confinement period, she should eat a little less and not get any fatter. Otherwise, she will look unsightly.

An hour later, Liao Sijie walked back to the ward by herself. She didn't see Lin Jing, but only saw her mother with the child. She couldn't help but cry again.

"Mom, where's Lin Jing?"

"I went to borrow a bed, why are you crying?"

"Mom, do you think Lin Jing will dislike me for giving birth to a daughter for him?"

"What are you imagining? Your son-in-law is not as patriarchal as you are. Go lie down and rest. Get up tomorrow morning to feed the baby. I will feed her sugar water and milk powder tonight."

When Lin Jing came back, Liao Sijie was already asleep. As to whether she was asleep or not, only she knew.

Before Liao Sijie was discharged from the hospital, Huo Qingci came to see her once with malted milk and fruit. Xiao Ya and Huo Junshan also came to see her once, and Lin Jing's family naturally came as well.

However, Ye Yunchu did not come. No one notified her, and even if she had been notified, she might not have come.

Lin Man did not go. When Huo Qingci went to see Liao Sijie, he explained to them that Lin Man was pregnant and it was inconvenient for her to walk to the hospital.

In fact, Huo Qingci also knew that even if she was close, Lin Man might not come over.

Lin Man has no interest in whether Liao Sijie gives birth to a boy or a girl, and she doesn't want to get too close to Liao Sijie.

If she was a little nicer to Liao Sijie, that man might come to her shamelessly and come to her for no reason, either to help or to ask for money.

Lin Man has not been feeling well recently. The weather is hot and she is pregnant with two more children. Pregnant women are afraid of heat. She couldn't find a nanny, and her clothes got soaked while cooking.

If grandpa wasn't around, she could prepare the meal in the space, heat it up, and then go in to rest.

It was not convenient for her at all with her grandfather at home, and it was impossible for her to prepare lunch early in the morning. Food would go bad most easily in hot weather.

Lin Man asked Huo Qingci, "Qingci, how's the search for a nanny going?"

“She will be here tomorrow. The girl is only fourteen years old and has only finished primary school.

She can do everything from washing clothes to cooking, feeding pigs and taking care of children. She is very hardworking. Most importantly, she pays attention to hygiene and is obedient. However, she is a little timid, too honest and doesn't like to talk much.

"Then let her work at home for a month and see how it goes. If she does well, we'll keep her. If not, we'll find another one."

"Yeah, that's what I planned too."
