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 619 (Page 1/2)
As soon as Huo Qingci settled down in Hai City, he sent a telegram to his family to report his safety and left the hospital's contact number.
After receiving the call, Lin Man went to the post office to call him back. When the call was connected, the director of the hospital answered the phone and asked Lin Man to wait half an hour before calling back.
So, Lin Man waited patiently for half an hour with some trepidation before dialing the familiar phone number again.
This time, when a voice came from the other end of the phone, as expected, the person who answered the phone had changed to Huo Qingci.
However, since there were other people around at the time, it was not convenient to have a long conversation, so the two of them just chatted briefly and hung up the phone in a hurry.
After ending the call, Lin Man did not leave immediately, but turned and walked into the post office.
She carefully selected and purchased more than twenty sets of exquisite stamps, as well as a considerable number of envelopes and stationery, intending to write a letter to Huo Qingci when she returned.
After coming out of the post office, Lin Man walked to the bus stop, stopped a bus, and headed to the Youth Palace.
After arriving at the destination, she tiptoed to the outside of the calligraphy classroom and was very pleased to see Huo Yining and Huo Yian concentrating on writing.
Lin Man knew very clearly that her eldest son Huo Yining had just taken two martial arts classes, while Huo Yian had just attended two radio experiment classes with his younger brother Huo Yiwen.
The youngest son Huo Yiwen has finished his interest class on radio, and he should be taking vocal lessons at this time!
Lin Man had never expected that Huo Yiwen had great musical talent. He was spotted by the teachers at the Youth Activity Center and not only was he selected into the vocal class, but he was also appointed as the lead singer of the choir.
Lin Man strolled in the corridor of the calligraphy classroom, then she came to the outside of the dance classroom, stood quietly by the window, and watched intently as her daughter was dancing ballet gracefully inside.
In fact, deep down, Lin Man didn't want her daughter to learn ballet. Firstly, she was worried that it would be too hard for her daughter.
Secondly, they were afraid that as their daughter grew older, if she grew too tall, she might be eliminated from the selection.
However, things are often so unexpected. Ever since Huo Yixin watched a wonderful drama "The Red Detachment of Women" one time, she was deeply attracted by the graceful and moving ballet postures in the play.
From that moment on, she made up her mind to learn ballet. Seeing her daughter's determination and perseverance, Huo Qingci supported her decision without hesitation and signed her up.
Lin Man also knew that her daughter liked dancing, so to be on the safe side, she also let her learn folk dance. Even if she was rejected by the ballet troupe, she would still have the opportunity to dance in the future.
In order to learn ballet, Huo Yixin also agreed to learn folk dance with Lin Man.

Lin Man plans to build a practice room for the children in the courtyard, where they can practice both dancing and martial arts.
Then build them a music room, put some musical instruments in it and let them practice on their own.
Because the four brothers and sisters have to come to the youth center for piano lessons every afternoon, Huo Yining not only has to learn piano in the afternoon, but also flute. After finishing the piano lesson, Huo Yining also has to take a erhu lesson.
Huo Yixin not only had to take piano lessons with her brother and younger brother, but also had to take a guzheng lesson afterward. Huo Yiwen also had a violin lesson after finishing his piano lessons.
These courses were chosen by the children themselves. Lin Man knew how hard they worked and finally chose to support them.
It is always good to have many skills. If you suffer a little more now, it will definitely be beneficial in the future.
The children would come to the Youth Palace for classes during the winter and summer vacations. When they returned to the military region, they would have Saturdays and Sundays off. Huo Yining was arranged by his grandfather to go for special training, while Huo Yian would learn calligraphy and painting with his teacher, and occasionally learn to play the erhu with his grandfather.
Huo Yixin and Huo Yiwen, the twins, haven't yet found a teacher. They spend their Saturdays and Sundays at home reading. Lin Man is considering hiring two teachers for them.
After the children finished class, Lin Man took them home. When she got home, Lin Man talked to Huo Li about decorating the house.
"Grandpa, can I find someone to fix up the house?"
Huo Li was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Isn't Xinxin learning to dance? I want to make a room in the back house in the front yard into a practice room for Xinxin to practice dancing, and Ningning can also practice martial arts in it."
"Tell Qing Huan what you want to do and ask him to find someone."
"Grandpa, I also want to build a music room for the children to practice piano in."
Huo Li asked again: "Xiao Man, are you planning to buy a piano for Ning Ning and the others?"
Lin Man nodded, "Well, since they all learn piano, we should buy two for the house, and other musical instruments as well."
Huo Li knew that his grandson had a lot of money, so it wouldn't be a big deal for him to buy a piano or even a few courtyard houses.
However, he still had to remind his granddaughter-in-law not to be too ostentatious now.
"Xiao Man, you can buy a piano. Just one is enough and let the children take turns practicing."
Lin Man wanted to say that her space not only had domestic pianos, but also imported expensive pianos. Since her grandfather said he would only buy one piano, she might as well take out a domestic piano.
She remembered that the three pianos in the Youth Palace seemed to be imported pianos, but it was difficult to explain why she didn't take them.
"Grandpa, I will discuss the piano purchase with Qingci. The most important thing now is to decorate the house."
"Okay, go ahead and do it. If you don't have enough money, I'll give it to you."
"No need, Grandpa. I'll get the money for decorating the house."
