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 607 (Page 1/2)
Huo Qinghuan asked curiously, "Brother, you don't have time to buy groceries and cook? Then what do you usually eat? Do we have to wait for you to come back before running to the cafeteria to get food?"
Huo Qingyan nodded helplessly, smiled bitterly and said, "Giving birth to twins is really a big problem. As soon as one of the little ones starts crying, the other one will immediately start crying too.
I just managed to feed this one, and then the other one poops and pees right after. It's like this all day long, with no peace and quiet."
He paused and continued, "I usually have to get up very early in the morning and buy food for lunch and dinner before going to work.
But even so, sometimes they still don’t have time to cook and can only wait for me to get home from work.”
At this point, Huo Qingyan couldn't help but sigh: "Besides, it's impossible for me to get home on time every day. Sometimes I'm too busy to go home, so I just eat something in the company cafeteria. Occasionally, when I have time, I come back early so that I can help them cook dinner."
Huo Qinghuan couldn't help but chuckle after hearing this: "Fortunately, Zizi is staying in the nursery now and won't be back until the evening.
Otherwise, if she ran home at noon and found that there was no food, she would definitely make a fuss again.
No wonder Chenchen was late for school yesterday and went to his brother's house for dinner today."
Huo Qingyan was naturally well aware of his eldest daughter's temper, but he never expected his son to go to his eldest brother's house for a free meal.
Huo Qingyan asked Huo Qinghuan, "Qinghuan, why did Chenchen want to go to Big Brother's house for dinner today?"
"I don't know. It should be Wenwen who took the initiative to invite Chenchen. The two little guys get together to play after class. Wenwen brings an egg to your son every morning. The two little guys have a good relationship."
At this time, Huo Junshan said, "Didn't you eat? Go to the kitchen and get some dishes and chopsticks."
Huo Qingyan quickly got up and went to the kitchen to get dishes and chopsticks. Huo Junshan picked up a piece of food for his grandson and daughter, and then asked his grandson, "Fei Fei, do you want to go home and live?"
Huo Yifei thought about how he had delicious food every day at his grandfather's house, and no one would compete with him for it, so he shook his head and said, "No, I want to live at my grandfather's house."
Huo Qinghuan knew that his father didn't want his mother to work so hard, so he wanted to send his nephew back, so he tested him.
After Huo Qingyan got the bowl and chopsticks, he filled himself a bowl of rice, sat back at the table, picked up the food and started eating in big mouthfuls.
While eating, he said, "Dad, where did you buy these vegetables? How come they are so delicious?"
"Your eldest brother sent it."
"So it was sent by my eldest brother! Dad, when my salary increases, I will buy groceries for you every month."
Huo Junshan ignored Huo Qingyan. It would be good if this guy could complete two out of ten sentences he promised.
Qingyan gave all his money to his wife to manage, and kept a notebook to record clearly where each money was spent. He was just hoping his son didn't borrow money from him.
After dinner, Huo Qinghuan took the initiative to clean up the dishes and went to the backyard to wash them.
Huo Junshan picked up the teacup and stood up leisurely, picked up the teapot from the table, and prepared to make himself a cup of tea.
Seeing this, Huo Qingyan quickly took out a teacup from the cupboard and placed it in front of his father.
Huo Junshan had no choice but to grab a handful of tea leaves from the teapot and put them in his cup, then picked up the thermos and added water to the two cups.
After brewing the tea, the father and son came to the sofa with their teacups and sat down.
Huo Junshan asked Huo Qingyan, "Qingyan, how is your fourth child doing now? Is he drinking milk well?"

Huo Qingyan frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then replied, "Sometimes when the little one is a little anxious, he will easily choke when drinking milk. Once he chokes, his little face will instantly turn red and he will start crying.
Whenever she cries, I feel like I can’t breathe. She’s scared me a few times, so I have to be extra careful when feeding her.”
Hearing this, Huo Junshan couldn't help but nod repeatedly, expressing his agreement with his son's concerns. He then advised, "Indeed, caring for a child doesn't allow for any carelessness. You must pay more attention to these details. By the way, when do you plan to bring Xiaofei back to your side?"
Huo Qingyan's heart suddenly shook, and he thought to himself: Oh no, Dad asked this because he doesn't want to continue helping to take care of the child?
Fortunately, I didn't mention to my father that Jingjing wanted to send Zizi here as well, otherwise he would definitely have been scolded.
Thinking of this, he quickly put on a smile and said, "Dad, could you please be patient for a while longer and help look after Xiaofei? When Jingjing's body has recovered and Anran and Anyan can crawl, I will take Xiaofei back."
After hearing this, Huo Junshan remained silent, just staring at his son in front of him with deep eyes.
"Qingyan, when your mother was healthy, she didn't really help your sister-in-law take care of the child. Now that your mother has recovered a little from a serious illness, you're throwing the child over to me.
Your wife used to say behind your back that our family favors your eldest brother. In fact, you should know that among you, your eldest brother and Qinghuan, you are the one who benefits the most.
Your brother grew up with his grandparents when he was a child. Later, your grandfather and your younger brother also helped take care of him for a few years. Later, your eldest brother and his wife took him with them, and later he became an educated youth.
And you have been living with us all this time, and we helped you get married twice..."
Huo Qingyan looked at his father with a puzzled expression, secretly wondering in his heart whether some of his actions had upset his elder brother and sister-in-law.
Grandpa is partial, not my parents. He doesn’t say bad things about my parents behind their backs!
"Dad, does my eldest brother and his wife have any objections?"
Huo Junshan frowned and angrily scolded, "What the hell are you talking about! What kind of people are your elder brother and his wife? Do they even bother to have any opinions about you?
Stop imagining things here! Speaking of this family, among my three sons, you are the one who worries me the most! " Having said this, Huo Junshan sighed heavily, as if he felt very helpless about this disappointing son.
"Dad, I know I was wrong and caused you and mom to worry." Huo Qingyan lowered his head, not daring to look his father in the eye.
At this time, Huo Junshan continued, "Look, your mother just recovered from her illness not long ago, and her body is still weak, yet you just threw your youngest son over here without saying anything, asking him to help take care of him.
Did you know that you didn't even take your wife back home after she left the hospital? Your son has been wetting the bed for the past two days. Fortunately, it's warm, so the mattress is easy to wash. If it were winter, your mother would be so exhausted!
We understand you too. You're busy with work, and your wife just gave birth to twins, so you don't have time to take care of Feifei. We can help you take care of him for a while, but you must take him back home after the Chinese New Year."
Hearing this, Huo Qingyan showed a look of embarrassment on his face. In fact, he also wanted to take his son back home now, but when he thought about the situation at home, he decided to let his son stay at his parents' home for another year or two.
So, he could only bite the bullet and say, "Dad, it's not that I don't want to take the kids back, it's just that twins are too difficult to take care of. If Feifei is added to the mix, I guess Jingjing and the others will have even less time to cook."
