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,...

Huo Qingyan couldn't help but choke when he heard this. He scratched his head, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face, and then he replied a little embarrassedly:
"Zizi has always had a great appetite. She always eats up everything in a flash, rarely leaving any leftovers."
At this moment, Huo Yichen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, "If my sister dares to leave any food on her plate, mom will spank her mercilessly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole room fell into silence, so quiet that you could hear even a pin drop.
Huo Junshan's originally calm expression suddenly changed. He frowned and glared at Huo Qingyan with anger, scolding loudly, "Qingyan, how can your wife act like this? Why do you always beat the child for no reason? What if she accidentally makes the child stupid? What should we do then?"
Facing his father's questioning and reproach, Huo Qingyan quickly waved his hands and explained, "Dad, don't get so angry.
In fact, under normal circumstances, Jingjing would never hit the children easily unless something particularly serious happened.
Besides, Zizi was a rather mischievous child, and Jingjing had no patience, so she hit her."
However, Huo Yichen didn't seem to be willing to give up. He immediately added, "Grandpa, not long before we came here, Mom severely punished my brother and sister for some trivial matter!"
Hearing Huo Yichen's words, Huo Junshan wanted to lose his temper again. Huo Li also put down his chopsticks and looked at Huo Qingyan with a frown, "Qingyan, what's wrong with your wife? Has she become stupid from taking care of the children? She has such a bad temper and beats the children at every turn."
Huo Qingyan, who is already middle-aged, is now lowering his eyes, with a face full of helplessness and sighs.
Facing the lecture from his father and grandfather, he said softly, "Grandpa, Zizi and Feifei are both naughty by nature, and we have so many children in our family, and we're overwhelmed with all the trivial matters. So, it's inevitable that Jingjing will be a little impatient..."
However, Huo Junshan ruthlessly interrupted him: "Alright! Stop making excuses! Nowadays, who doesn't have a family full of children?
But other people can educate their children well, but she has read so many books, but she can't even discipline her children and often touches them.
Look at your elder brother and his wife again, have they ever hit Ningning and An'an?"
At this time, Huo Yining came over with a smile and interrupted, "Grandpa, please calm down. Actually, I was beaten by my father when I was a child!
Look at how perky my butt is. It's all thanks to the beatings my dad gave me back then!"
Hearing this, Huo Qingci stared at his eldest son speechlessly and retorted: "What nonsense are you talking about, you little brat! When did I ever beat you up?"

Seeing this, Huo Yining quickly joked, "Haha, Dad, even though you may not have beaten me that often in real life, I often dreamed of you beating me when I was a kid. Maybe that's why I often fall off the bed!"
Huo Yining's interruption caused everyone to burst into laughter, and the originally tense and serious atmosphere instantly became relaxed and cheerful.
Lin Man smiled and shook her head, "Alright, the noodles are almost ready, you guys should eat quickly!"
After dinner, all the children ran next door to watch TV, Lin Man went to wash the dishes, and Huo Qingci cleaned the house.
Huo Lizhe took Huo Junshan and Huo Qingyan, father and son, to sit on the sofa to drink tea and chat.
Huo Qingyan looked at his elder brother who was busy not far away and asked loudly, "Brother, why did you come back so suddenly today?"
Huo Qingci swiftly wiped the table, then quickly picked up the broom and began to sweep the floor. As he swept, he replied, "The day after tomorrow is my wife's birthday, so I came back specially to be with her."
Hearing this, Huo Qingyan couldn't help but become curious, "Oh, so you asked for leave just to celebrate your sister-in-law's birthday! I thought you came back just to visit the children."
At this time, Huo Junshan hurried to help explain: "Qingyan, your sister-in-law will be thirty years old the day after tomorrow! Your brother will have to take a special leave to come back and spend her birthday with her."
"Oh, I didn't expect that my sister-in-law is already thirty years old this year! What a coincidence, my Jingjing is also thirty years old this year." Huo Qingyan shouted in surprise.
Upon hearing this, Huo Junshan turned to look at Huo Qingyan and asked, "Qingyan, your wife and Xiaoman have been together for a year. When is her birthday?"
Huo Qingyan hesitated for a moment, then replied shyly, "Jingjing is a little younger than my sister-in-law. Isn't my sister-in-law's birthday on May 1st, Labor Day? Jingjing's birthday is in June."
Huo Junshan pressed on, "In that case, what are you going to do for your wife's birthday? How about setting up a few tables of food like your eldest brother did and inviting our family to celebrate together?"
Faced with this question, Huo Qingyan hesitated for a moment, then scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "Actually... Jingjing asked me to take her to eat at Lao Mo's, and buy her a women's bicycle, some new clothes, and two pairs of new shoes..."
"Aren't you planning to treat us to a meal?" Huo Junshan asked.
"Dad, I'll go back and ask Jingjing later to see what she says! I'll tell you guys in advance if we're treating you."
Huo Junshan didn't say anything else. He also knew to give a reminder to avoid having a grand birthday party for his eldest daughter-in-law. If she didn't have one for her 30th birthday, she would say that the Huo family looked down on her.
