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 585 (Page 1/2)
Lin Man didn't expect that when she woke up and opened the door, a cold wind blew in and the outside of the house was covered in white.
She hurried back, stepped into the house in a panic, and went straight to the room. Once inside, she quickly walked to the bedside, gently patted Huo Qingci's arm, and said anxiously: "Qingci, wake up quickly, it's snowing outside! Go and arrange for someone to send over two hundred coal briquettes today."
Hearing this, Huo Qingci slowly woke up. He slowly propped himself up and sat on the bed. While yawning, he responded, "Okay, no problem. I'll ask someone to send coal briquettes over. You don't need to prepare firewood. I have it in my space."
As he spoke, he stretched and began to dress slowly, muttering, "No wonder I felt like the quilt was leaking air. It turned out it snowed last night! Manman, you should go back to your space and sleep tonight."
Lin Man nodded and said yes, then reminded: "By the way, the children have an exam today, I have to make them something delicious."
Huo Qingci looked at his wife distressedly and quickly advised, "Manman, it's too cold these days. Don't bother getting up so early to make breakfast these days. I'll just go to the cafeteria and buy some buns and steamed buns for the children."
Lin Man hesitated for a moment, thinking that this would indeed make things a lot easier, so she replied, "Okay, I'll listen to you." After all, in this cold weather, it is not easy to get out of the warm bed early in the morning to make breakfast.
The hospital cafeteria serves a wide variety of breakfasts, including steamed buns, steamed bread, flower rolls, fried dough sticks, porridge, rice noodles, and all of them can be bought with money.
Huo Qingci washed up and went to the cafeteria to buy breakfast. Lin Man returned to the living room to wake her daughter up. After arriving in the living room, she quietly walked to her daughter's bedside and saw the little baby still sleeping soundly in bed.
She smiled, bent down, and called out softly, "Xinxin, little lazy pig, get up quickly! It's snowing outside!"
When she heard the word "snow", Huo Yixin, who was still immersed in her dream, opened her eyes instantly and sat up from the bed.
"Mom, is it really snowing outside?"
"Yeah, it's snowing."
“That’s wonderful.”
Looking at her excited daughter, Lin Man quickly picked up a soft, thick sweater and quickly put it on her little head. She said with concern, "It's too cold. Honey, put on your sweater and pants first, don't catch a cold."
Huo Yixin nodded obediently, and her little hands quickly took the clothes handed to her by her mother and put them on one by one.
At this moment, she couldn't wait to rush outside and see it with her own eyes. She was secretly wondering how heavy the snow was and whether she could go out and build a snowman today.
"Mom, when I get home after the exam, I want to build a snowman downstairs with my brother."
"Okay, but don't play for too long, it would be bad if you catch a cold. Put on your shoes and go wash up, I'll help you fold the quilt."
"Thank you, Mom."
After Huo Yixin finished washing up, Lin Man brought her a red scarf, a red knitted hat, and a pair of red gloves.
She waved to Huo Yixin, "Xinxin, come here quickly. Mommy will help you comb your hair. It's too cold today. Don't tie your hair up if you wear a hat."
Huo Yixin picked up the bright red scarf on the table and asked, "Is this scarf knitted by Mom this year?"
"Yeah, right? Xinxin doesn't like it?"
"I like it. Red looks festive."
"Xinxin, your dad is going to the cafeteria to get breakfast. Come back soon. Go next door and ask your older brother and younger brother to come over for breakfast."
"Okay." Huo Yixin got up and walked out towards the next door.
Not long after, a burst of brisk footsteps was heard. It turned out to be Huo Qingci who came back with breakfast.

I saw that he was holding a huge bag in his hand, which was filled with various breakfasts.
A closer look reveals that the bag contains not only meat buns and vegetable buns, but also lava sugar buns, soft and fluffy flower rolls and steamed buns, as well as golden and crispy fried dough sticks.
Lin Man had just set the table when the children rushed into the house.
Huo Qingci immediately noticed his eldest son Huo Yining, who stood out from the crowd. He came here without a cotton jacket in such a cold day.
He couldn't help but frowned and asked with concern: "Yining, it's snowing outside and the weather is so cold, why did you run over here without wearing a cotton jacket?"
Huo Yining smiled mischievously and replied nonchalantly, "Dad, I don't feel cold at all. Don't worry about me! I'm wearing two sweaters underneath."
Huo Qingci shook his head helplessly and said firmly, "No, go back and put on your cotton-padded jacket before having breakfast. And call your grandfather over as well."
After hearing his father's words, although Huo Yining was a little reluctant, he nodded obediently, turned around and ran to the next door, put on his cotton-padded jacket, and invited his grandfather to have breakfast together.
After breakfast, Lin Man reminded Huo Yining, Huo Yian, and Huo Yiwen, "When you three leave, remember to wear scarves, fur hats, and gloves."
Huo Yiwen took Lin Man's hand and said coquettishly, "Mom, the fur hat is a bit ugly. I also want a woolen hat like my sister's."
"Are you sure?"
Huo Yiwen nodded, "Yes, but I don't want red. My scarf is navy blue. Mom, can you knit me a navy blue knitted hat too?"
"Okay, you wear the fur hat to school first, and I'll knit you a woolen hat later."
Huo Yian suddenly raised his hand and said, "Mom, I also want a woolen hat knitted by you."
"Okay, okay, I'll buy it and knit it for you. I can knit two hats quickly using crochet. Ningning, do you want one?" Lin Man asked Huo Yining with a smile.
Huo Yining said: "Mom, I like wearing a fur hat. It can protect my ears from frostbite."
Huo Yixin pointed to the hat on her head and said, "Brother, a woolen hat can also cover your ears."
"Yeah, I know, but I don't want Mom to work too hard. Knitting in cold weather can easily cause frostbite on your hands."
Lin Man's heart couldn't help but soften. Her eldest son was such a caring and warm man.
The children left one after another, and the room suddenly became quiet. Huo Li slowly walked over to Huo Qingci and sat down, saying softly, "Qingci, I think this snow is going to keep falling for several days.
When was your mother's last checkup? The weather is getting colder, so you must remind her to stay warm and not catch a cold!
When saying this, Huo Li's brows were tightly furrowed, and his face was full of worry.
Ever since his daughter-in-law was diagnosed with cancer, he has been worried, fearing that the disease will once again mercilessly take the life of this kind woman.
If his daughter-in-law died first, what would happen to his son and young granddaughter? Whenever he thought of this, Huo Li couldn't sleep or eat.
Huo Qingci also nodded solemnly and replied, "Grandpa, don't worry, I know what's going on. I'm actually quite worried about Mom's health, too. I'll go see her at noon and ask her to go to the hospital for a checkup in advance."
Ever since his mother had a mastectomy, she's become incredibly thin and her resistance is much weaker than before. He's really worried she'll get sick again...
