Chapter 657 Returning Home (Page 1/2)

After Huo Qingci explained a series of relevant matters to Chen Cai in detail, he hurried back to the hospital with Lin Man.

Shan Ke learned that Lin Man was leaving Hai City tonight, so he specially bought a lot of local specialty products from Hai City and asked her to help bring them to his wife Qiu Mingyue.

Lin Man found that Dan Ke didn’t buy many local specialties, so she happily agreed.

After finishing dinner early, Huo Qingci went straight to the dean's office and asked the dean to borrow his car to take Lin Man to the train station.

At 4:38 p.m. the next day, accompanied by the long and low whistle of the train entering the station, Lin Man arrived in Beijing smoothly.

After a tiring journey of traveling back and forth, by the time she dragged her exhausted body into the house, it was already getting dark, and the hands of the wall clock quietly pointed to seven o'clock in the evening.

The children at home had been looking forward to Lin Man's return for a long time. When they heard the familiar footsteps outside the door, they rushed out of the house like a group of happy little birds.

Before Lin Man even had the chance to enter the house, she was surrounded by children.

Especially the adorable twin boy and girl, they used their hands and feet to quickly wrap around Lin Man's arms, as if they were afraid that she would suddenly disappear.

Huo Yiwen said with a beaming expression, "Mom, you're finally back! We've been counting the days at home, eagerly waiting for you to come home soon. How come you've been playing in Hai City for such a long time this time?"

Huo Yixin nodded like a chick pecking at rice, her big eyes twinkling, her face full of joy, "Yes, Mom, we really miss you! I miss you so much that the food doesn't taste good these days, and I can't fall asleep no matter how hard I try.

"Big brother, second brother, am I right?" She said, winking playfully at Huo Yining and Huo Yian.

Huo Yining raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile. He didn't say much, but just nodded gently in response.

Huo Yian, who was standing by, said, "Mom, we are all waiting for you to come back. Mom, your city in Hai City is more prosperous than Beijing City, right?"

Before Lin Man could come back, Huo Yiwen explained, "Second brother, Hai City is naturally more prosperous than Beijing City. My classmates have relatives living in Hai City. White Rabbit Milk Candy is produced in Hai City. Many of our daily necessities are also produced in Hai City."

"Okay, let's not talk about whether Hai City is prosperous or not. Let's go inside and divide the gifts first!"

Hearing this, Huo Yining and Huo Yian took the initiative to help Lin Man carry the suitcase and luggage bag into the house.

Lin Man walked into the room, bent down to pick up the luggage bag on the coffee table, slowly opened it, and carefully took out the various snacks and candies that she had carefully selected from Hai City.

Every time Lin Man took out something, the children would exclaim in excitement, their little faces filled with happiness and satisfaction.

At this time, Huo Qinghuan and Huo Li walked in. Huo Qinghuan said, "Sister-in-law, you're back. I'll go back and stay tonight."

"How about you sleep in Ningning's little bed and I let Ningning sleep in Xinxin's bed? I'll sleep with Xinxin tonight."

Huo Qinghuan thought about going home to sleep with the two little devils in his second brother's house, so he decided to forget it.

"Okay, then I'll sleep in Ningning's bed tonight."

Huo Yining didn't care. He would sleep in his sister's bed, and his sister would have to sleep with her mother. Since his sister had no objection, he naturally had no objection either.

Huo Li looked at the pile of boxes on the table and casually asked Lin Man, "Xiao Man, is Qingci's work going well over there? How is he doing lately? Has he lost weight?"

Hearing Huo Li's question, Lin Man quickly reached out to open the shoulder bag she was carrying and carefully took out a thick stack of photos from it.

Then, she gently handed the stack of photos to Huo Li and said with a smile, "Grandpa, don't worry about him, he's fine. These are the photos Qingci took in Hai City."

A happy smile immediately broke out on Huo Li's face. He stretched out his slightly trembling hands and happily took the stack of photos from Lin Man's hand.

After getting the photos, he couldn't wait to start flipping through them one by one as if he had found some rare treasure.

Seeing his grandfather so focused and serious, Huo Qing came over with a smile and joked to Lin Man:

"Sister-in-law, look at Grandpa like this. His heart and eyes are filled with only Big Brother! When I was an educated youth, I guess Grandpa didn't think about me all the time like he does now!"

Huo Li, who was concentrating on appreciating the photos, was startled when he heard his grandson's words. He then raised his head, glared at Huo Qinghuan in feigned anger, and retorted:

"What nonsense! I have read all the letters and photographs you sent me, and I have read them all carefully."

Lin Man knew that Huo Qinghuan was just trying to make her grandfather happy, so she started laughing too.

Then, she pointed to a pile of snacks on the table and introduced them enthusiastically, "These are specialties I brought back from Hai City for you. Come and try them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Qinghuan couldn't wait to reach out from the box, pick up a piece of butterfly cake and put it in his mouth. After taking a bite, he nodded with satisfaction and praised it endlessly: "Mm, it's delicious! Sister-in-law really knows how to pick things."

Seeing Huo Qinghuan eating so happily, the children also reached out to take some. Huo Li put down the photo and took a piece to taste.

Seeing Huo Qinghuan eating his butterfly pastry without a care in the world, Lin Man asked him tentatively, "By the way, Qinghuan, the exam is coming up soon. Are you nervous?"

Huo Qinghuan kept shaking her head, a confident smile on her face as she said, "Oh, sister-in-law, there's really nothing to be nervous about! I've been studying hard and reviewing diligently for years. If I still can't pass the exam, I might as well go buy a piece of tofu and run into it head-on to avoid embarrassing myself in this world."

Lin Man couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, and then asked curiously, "By the way, Qinghuan, how is your second sister-in-law's review going?"

"My second sister-in-law is so worried right now. Besides looking for other people to help her with her studies, she even came to me specifically to ask for review materials."

"Oh, did you lend it to her?"

Huo Qinghuan nodded and replied, "Of course I borrowed it! But sister-in-law, do you know? My second sister-in-law told me that since she gave birth, she felt that her memory has seriously declined a lot.

She had memorized the text with great difficulty the day before, but had forgotten it completely the next day. She even wondered if some bug had crawled into her brain and eaten away all the knowledge.

Hearing this, Lin Man on the side couldn't help but purse her lips and smile slightly, thinking that it seemed that Song Jingjing really felt the pressure and tension this time, otherwise how could she say such absurd words.

Lin Man restrained her smile for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "Qing Huan, it's understandable why your sister-in-law is so nervous.

After all, there are two hungry children at home, and she can't calm down at home, so she can only go out and find someone to tutor her.

And it is true that she has not been exposed to book knowledge for many years.

Anyone in her situation would probably feel anxious and uneasy.

If I were to take the exam again, it would be very difficult to pass it without studying and preparing well beforehand.

It's just a pity that if your second sister-in-law fails to pass the exam this time, she won't be eligible to take the exam next year."

"Didn't Second Brother agree to let her take the exam once? If she fails, she can only ask Yi Chen to help her pass it."

Lin Man also knew that Song Jingjing already had a job, so why did she want to take the college entrance exam at her age? She just wanted to prove herself, to prove that she was no worse than her sister-in-law.
