Chapter 620 (Page 1/2)

Grandpa actually agreed to renovate the house so readily that Lin Man was very happy. Without saying anything, she asked Huo Qinghuan to find someone to handle this important matter.

At first, Lin Man excitedly expressed her desire to have a room specifically for practicing martial arts and a music room full of artistic atmosphere.

However, everyone knows that this is just the beginning.

After all, I finally decided to renovate, so how could I limit it to just these two rooms? Of course, I had to do it right the first time!

As a result, the entire courtyard was included in this large-scale renovation plan.

The old floors in the east and west wing rooms were all ruthlessly removed and replaced with brand new and beautiful solid wood floors.

As for the bluestone floor in the main courtyard that has stood the test of time, it has been preserved, but the doors, windows and beams cannot be neglected. They all need to be repainted with a layer of bright paint to make them shine like new.

Not only that, in order to add more warmth and comfort to this home, Lin Man also specially purchased two sets of exquisite new furniture.

After all this commotion, there was quite a bit of noise.

So much so that after seeing this scene, the neighbors on the whole street speculated whether Huo Qinghuan was going to hold her wedding in this courtyard.

However, facing the curious gazes and discussions of the crowd, Lin Man was too lazy to pay any attention.

Because for her, the most important thing at the moment is to keep herself busy. Only by being constantly busy can she temporarily forget her husband who is far away from home.

Since arriving in Hai City, Huo Qingci has happily sent a letter home every week, and the words are full of longing for his family, especially his wife Lin Man.

But what made people feel a little disappointed was that a whole month had passed and he only received one reply letter from his wife.

Moreover, since the first call, Lin Man never called him again.

Huo Qingci slowly put down the medical record in his hand, gently rubbed his brows which were a little tense from concentrating on work for a long time, and muttered unconsciously:

"What has Manman been busy with recently? Why haven't you written to me in such a long time? Did you really forget?"

At this time, Shan Ke, who was sitting opposite Huo Qingci, noticed his distraction and mumbling to himself.

Shan Ke was stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "Director Huo! What are you thinking about so intently?"

Huo Qingci, startled by Shan Ke's sudden shout, suddenly raised his head and looked at Shan Ke with a dazed look. After a while, he came to his senses and asked:

"Doctor Shan, you've been in Hai City for a month now, right? How many letters have you received during this time?"

Hearing this question, Shan Ke showed an embarrassed smile on his face, scratched his head and said: "Hey, Director Huo, you are not waiting for your sister-in-law to write to you, right?

Even if we send a letter quickly from here to Beijing by sea, it will still take at least half a month to go back and forth.

If you really miss your sister-in-law, you can go to the dean's office to borrow the phone.

Like my wife, even though she received my telegram, she won't reply to me. In fact, I haven't had time to write to her yet, and even if I did, I probably wouldn't know what to say.

After hearing Shan Ke's words, Huo Qingci shook his head slightly and explained, "My wife and her family have returned to live in the city now, so it's not very convenient for them to receive calls.

I'd better wait until they return to the military area, then I'll call them and ask about the situation. By the way, have you called your wife yet?"

Shan Ke quickly waved his hand and replied, "No, no, I didn't call or write a letter. I just sent her a simple telegram to tell her that I'm doing well here."

After saying that, Shan Ke lowered his head and continued to organize the medical records in front of him.

Huo Qingci smiled with a hint of embarrassment, and then he suddenly remembered that the marriage between Shan Ke and his wife was an arranged one, and their union was purely for the purpose of continuing the family line, and there was no love involved.

If there is nothing particularly important, Shan Ke will never take the initiative to write a letter to his daughter-in-law, and his daughter-in-law will naturally not take the initiative to write a letter to him.

Besides, Shan Ke’s wife hasn’t even graduated from elementary school. Even if she wanted to write a letter, she probably wouldn’t be able to write many words!

When he was in Beijing, his wife came to his office and they talked like strangers.

After a while, Shan Ke raised his wrist to glance at his watch, then suddenly turned to Huo Qingci and said, "Director Huo, it's almost time to get off work, why don't we go to the cafeteria to eat together!"

However, Huo Qingci smiled and waved his hand, politely declining, "Dr. Shan, thank you for your kindness. I have lunch in the cafeteria. I have plenty of time in the evening, so I prefer to cook for myself in the dormitory."

Hearing this, Shan Ke couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He refused to eat the ready-made meals in the cafeteria and actually went to the trouble of making his own meals.

"Director Huo, did you buy a coal stove? Placing a coal stove in the room can easily cause gas poisoning, so be careful."

Huo Qingci nodded and said, "I put the coal stove on the balcony corridor, and I cook and boil water on the balcony."

"Director Huo, aren't you afraid someone will steal your coal briquettes?"

Huo Qingci thought, he knew exactly who cooked on the floor where they lived, so if there were not enough coal briquettes, he could just go find them directly.
