Chapter 481: Reasons for Going to the Countryside (Page 1/2)

A few minutes later, Huo Qingci also brought out a bowl of dumplings, and Huo Junshan followed closely behind.

At this moment, Huo Yining saw them coming over and suddenly stood up from his seat, his face filled with smugness as he boasted loudly, "Dad, Grandpa! Look, I've already eaten twenty dumplings! And, I think I can finish twenty more!"

Huo Qingci was naturally aware of his eldest son's astonishing appetite, so he didn't pay much attention to his bold words.

However, Huo Junshan standing by couldn't help but praise her, "Oh my! Our Ningning is truly amazing! She even eats more than grandpa!"

"Well, but mom said that for health reasons, it's best to eat until you're 70% full. I decided to only eat 30 pills and make the rest for breakfast tomorrow morning."

"Yeah, Ningning is right. You can't eat too much at night. It's easy to get insomnia."

At this time, Huo Yian stared at the dumplings in his bowl, feeling a little at a loss.

Seeing this, Lin Man asked softly, "An An, are you full and can't eat anymore?"

Huo Yian nodded obediently and answered truthfully, "Mom, you gave me sixteen dumplings twice before, but I felt full after eating only the twelfth one."

Hearing this, Lin Man said gently: "Since you are full, don't force yourself to continue eating."

But Huo Yian started to worry again, frowning and asking, "What should we do with the remaining dumplings? We can't let them go to waste, right?"

Huo Qingci quickly took the bowl from his second son and poured the remaining dumplings into his own bowl. He comforted him, "An'an, don't worry. Daddy will take care of the rest for you. Just sit on the sofa and have a rest for a while. And help look after your younger siblings."

So, Huo Yian obediently left the dining table, walked to the sofa and sat down, watching his younger brothers and sisters who were playing.

Xiao Ya was holding a bowl full of dumplings and eating them with relish. She turned her head and her eyes fell on the cute little guys sitting on the sofa.

She thought that when her fourth child was born, her grandchildren would play with her, after all, they were all very well-behaved and obedient.

After June, it is July. In mid-July, both elementary and high schools start their holidays.

Huo Qinghuan also graduated from high school and moved back from school. When he got home and saw his mother's bulging belly, he was still a little surprised.

Although he finally accepted the fact that his mother was pregnant, he was still a little overwhelmed when he actually saw his mother's belly growing bigger.

After packing his luggage, he went to the kitchen and said, "Mom, I'll help you cook. You should go out now!"

“No, I feel like I’m in better shape this month than last month and can cook for myself.

Qinghuan, I heard that you and your classmates signed up to go to Xishuangbanna to join the queue?"

"Well, I heard from my classmates that the weather there is very good and it's not too cold in winter. The scenery there is also beautiful. I want to go and see it, and also want to experience their Water Splashing Festival."

"Qinghuan, going to the countryside isn't like traveling; it's not that fun. I heard it's very backward over there, and transportation is inconvenient.

Some girls from ethnic minorities there get married at the age of twelve or thirteen..."

Before Xiao Ya finished speaking, Huo Qinghuan interrupted, "Mom, I know that place is very backward, so the country sent us to the countryside to support the construction of their hometown.

Life is a long journey, and I can't rely on my family for everything. Mom, you don't have to worry too much. I won't look for a partner there, and I certainly won't mess with a 12 or 13-year-old girl.

Xiao Ya sighed deeply, her face filled with sorrow as she said, "Alas... son, I'm doing this for your own good. Think about it, if you accidentally seduce a local girl after arriving in the countryside, but can't marry her, wouldn't that be a waste of time? Wouldn't that be putting her in a bad situation?"

"Don't worry, Mom. I've already made up my mind. I don't plan on finding a partner for the next ten years.

As the saying goes, start a family first and then build a career. I think we should work hard to build a career first, and then consider starting a family after we have a certain economic foundation.

This way, Mom and Dad won't have to work so hard. And when I get married in the future, I'll earn the money for the wedding gift myself, so you can just keep the money for supporting my sister.

When Mom and Dad get older, my brothers and I will shoulder the responsibility of taking care of you and providing for your well-being.”

Xiao Ya's eyes became moist as she listened to her youngest son's sensible words, and her red eyes were filled with emotion and relief.

She knew that the person she owed the most in this life was her youngest son.

However, what made her feel extremely warm was that this child, whom she had treated unfairly, was the most considerate one. At least he knew how to say sweet words to make her happy.

Of course, the one who paid the most is definitely the eldest son.

It’s just that the eldest son is more introverted and not very good at speaking. He never tells me these intimate words. Most of the time, he expresses his care and love silently through practical actions.

As for her second son, she also devoted a lot of effort in her life. It can be said that she invested the most energy in him among her three sons. Unfortunately, that child did not do as well as her eldest son.
