Chapter 502: Harmony (Page 1/2)

On July 15th, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing gently. Lin Man and Huo Qing came to the Military Region Primary School with smiles of anticipation and pride on their faces, because today was Huo Yining's primary school graduation ceremony.

They walked into the campus, arrived at the graduation ceremony, found their seats and sat down.

As the loudspeaker blared, the graduation ceremony officially began. The principal took the stage to deliver a speech, expressing his blessings and expectations for the graduates. Then, a representative of the outstanding graduates took the stage to speak. This representative was their son, Huo Yining.

He wore the new clothes that Lin Man had bought for him and walked up to the podium with firm steps.

His eyes were filled with confidence, his voice steady and powerful as he reviewed his four years of elementary school and shared his own growth and insights. The students and parents in the audience listened quietly, occasionally giving warm applause.

Lin Man sat in the audience, looking at her son on the stage, tears in her eyes.

She recalled every moment she had spent with the children growing up over the past few years, and all the effort and sweat she had put in turned into comfort and pride at this moment.

She knew that quitting her job and raising her children wholeheartedly was not easy, but seeing her eldest son's achievements today, she felt that it was all worth it.

After the graduation ceremony, Lin Man and Huo Qingci came to Huo Yining.

Huo Qingci smiled and said to Huo Yining, "Ningning, now that you have graduated from elementary school, your mother and I are going to give you a gift."

Huo Yining raised his eyebrows and asked, "Dad, what gift are you planning to give me? It's not going to be a Parker pen, is it?"

At this time, Lin Man stood up and said, "No, didn't you want us to buy you a bicycle before? Your father and I are going to give you a bicycle."

"Mom, don't we already have two bicycles? And now that we've moved to the hospital, we don't use our bicycles very often. So let's not buy another one."

Lin Man didn't expect her son to be so sensible. There were indeed two bicycles at home, but those two bicycles were thrown around by the little ones, and a lot of paint fell off the front and back. The pedals and chains had to be replaced several times.

Moreover, the handlebars of Huo Qingci's bicycle were loose, and the inner and outer tires had been replaced, so it was not as easy to ride.

Lin Man planned to sell an old bicycle and buy a new one for her eldest son. However, her son grew up and became thrifty with money and no longer wanted the bicycle.

Lin Man and Huo Qingci smiled at each other, and Lin Man suddenly said, "Since Ningning said she doesn't want to buy a bicycle, then let's not buy it for now. Let's go back first!"

After returning home, Huo Yining put the certificate on the desk and gave the two diaries awarded to him by the school to Huo Yixin and Huo Yiwen, one each.

"Xinxin, Wenwen, you're going to school next semester. This is a back-to-school gift from big brother."

Huo Yian came over and pretended to be aggrieved, "Brother, you are so partial. You gave notebooks to your younger brothers and sisters, but you didn't give me one."

"This time, I only have two diaries. I have two new pens, and I'll give you one later. And I remember that you were awarded the "Three Good Students" award every semester. You should have quite a few homework books and diaries, right?"

"Brother, you are the five-bar Young Pioneer team leader, and I only have four. You get more rewards."

"I'm leaving. Next semester, you'll also be promoted to five bars. By then, your rewards will definitely be no less than mine."

Huo Yian grinned, "I got four certificates at the end of this semester: one for the Three Good Students Award, one for the Outstanding Class Leader Award, one for the Outstanding Young Pioneer Award, and one for Learning from Lei Feng's Good Example Award.

The teacher rewarded me with a box of watercolor pencils, ten sketchbooks, and an enamel cup."

Huo Yining patted Huo Yian on the shoulder and said proudly, "Well done! I only got three certificates today, but I gave a speech as a student representative."

Huo Yixin watched her elder and second brothers chatting away, feeling a bit bored. She reached out and tugged at the corner of Huo Yiwen's clothes, then asked softly, "Brother, you're so smart, you must be even better than the elder and second brothers, right?"

Huo Yiwen nodded and answered seriously, "Well, sister, you are amazing too. If I win any certificates or prizes at school, I will give them to you."

Hearing this, Huo Yixin's eyes lit up and she smiled happily.

She put down the diary in her hand, put her arm around Huo Yiwen's shoulders, and whispered in his ear, "Brother, I love you the most. When I grow up and become rich, I will give you a big desk and buy you a hundred books."

Huo Yiwen blinked her big eyes and smiled brightly, "Sister, don't you like beautiful flowers? I'll buy you a big yard and plant it full of colorful flowers."

Huo Yixin gently pinched Huo Yiwen's little face and said with a smile: "You are really my good brother! Sister loves you the most."

Huo Yiwen smiled shyly, "I love my sister the most, too."

Huo Yining and Huo Yian were both stunned and said in unison: "You two are so heartless."
