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 910 Let Them Go (Page 1/2)
Huo Li didn't say a word from beginning to end. After staying in the store for a few minutes, he said to his son Huo Junshan: "Junshan, if you don't go back this afternoon, let's go back to the courtyard!"
"Dad, let's go to the hot pot restaurant and have some tea with Qingci."
"Let's go!"
Huo Li left with his son, while Xiao Ya stayed in the store with her daughter to help count the inventory.
Song Lei went to work, while Tang Lihong was busy helping her daughter iron clothes.
Huo Qingyan was busy for a while, and at three o'clock he said to Song Jingjing, "I ordered two opening flower baskets from my sister-in-law's flower shop. I'm going to pick them up now."
Song Jingjing nodded and said, "Sister-in-law has a tricycle. Ask them to ride it and bring it over."
Huo Qingyan nodded, "I understand."
As soon as Huo Qingyan left, Tang Lihong said, "Jingjing, do you want me to order two flower baskets for you as well?"
"Mom, don't waste that money. If you feel bad about it, just give me a red envelope."
"Okay, I'll give you a 66-yuan red envelope tomorrow. I wish you a prosperous business and a great start to your business! Everything will go smoothly!"
"Thank you, Mom!" Song Jingjing said with a smile, and then glanced at her mother-in-law who was busy at the side.
I thought that my mother-in-law took money when my sister-in-law’s store opened, so she should give money when her store opens tomorrow, right?
At 2:30, all the customers in the hot pot restaurant had left. Huo Qingci was sitting at the cashier counter counting the lunch sales when he saw his grandfather and father push the door open and walk in.
He jumped up from his chair as if he had been electrocuted, walked quickly to the wine cabinet, stood on tiptoe, and carefully took out a can of spiritual tea from the highest point of the cabinet.
This can of tea is his treasured collection, and he usually drinks it himself.
He held the spiritual tea tightly in his hand, then turned around and called to a waiter not far away: "Xiao Chen, come here."
Chen Jing, who was wiping the table, heard the call and immediately trotted over. She asked with a smile on her face, "Boss, what's going on?"
He handed the spiritual tea to Chen Jing and solemnly instructed: "Xiao Chen, use this tea to make a pot of tea. Remember, make it stronger."
Chen Jing took the teapot, nodded repeatedly, then turned around and ran to the kitchen like a gust of wind.
Huo Qingci looked at Xiao Chen's departing figure and breathed a sigh of relief. He then quickly walked to his grandfather and father, a look of surprise on his face, and asked, "Grandpa, Dad, why did you come here so suddenly?"
Huo Junshan smiled slightly and explained, "We came from East Street and passed by here, so we stopped by to see how your business is going."
"Oh, so that's how it is." Huo Qingci suddenly realized and continued, "We just sent off the last table of guests. There's nothing going on in the restaurant now."
As he spoke, he led his grandfather and father to sit down at an empty table.
As soon as the three of them sat down, Huo Li slowly said, "You and Xiao Man didn't go to eat lunch today, and Xiao Song's parents kept apologizing to us, saying that Xiao Song was ignorant.
She also said that she would keep a close eye on her and would never let her do anything wrong again. Don't worry, she won't come to the store to poach employees anymore."
Huo Qingci frowned slightly, "Grandpa, she usually can't poach salespeople from clothing stores, but Zhang Fen is an exception."
Originally, his wife had no intention of keeping Zhang Fen. If it weren't for her grandfather's face, how could they have kept Zhang Fen working in the clothing store?
Huo Li nodded and continued, "Xu Xiaomin also came to apologize to me, saying that she didn't teach the children well and hoped that I could forgive them."
Huo Qingci was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked bluntly, "Grandpa, have you forgiven them?"

Huo Li shook his head and said firmly, "No, Qingyan has already asked Xiao Song to fire them. If Xiao Song doesn't want to, then let them do what they want!"
Qingci, Xiao Song is not very sensible. Nu and Qingyan are brothers, and even if they break bones, they are still connected. You may have damaged the brotherhood because of these things."
"Grandpa, don't worry! I have no problem with Qingyan."
Huo Li knew that his eldest grandson was very dissatisfied with Song Jingjing. Alas, he also regretted letting his second grandson marry the daughter of the Song family.
If I had known this would happen, I would have let Qingyan marry a random teacher. At least she wouldn't do anything behind my back or take it out on the child.
Huo Qingci spent the whole afternoon with his grandfather in the store, drinking tea and chatting. Around four o'clock, Zhong Linman suddenly ran up, greeted his grandfather and father-in-law, and went into the kitchen.
Huo Junshan asked Huo Qingci, "What is your wife doing in the kitchen at this hour?"
"Cook two dishes for Ningning, and she will go to school to bring food to Ningning later." Huo Qingci answered truthfully.
Huo Junshan was puzzled and asked seriously, "Isn't Ningning eating at school? Why did you suddenly think of sending Ningning food?"
Huo Qingci hurriedly explained, "Dad, Manman is worried that Ningning isn't eating well at school, so she wants to go over to see him later and bring him some food."
Huo Junshan couldn't help but sigh, "I'm so lucky to be your child. The school has a cafeteria, and you're still worried that they won't have enough to eat."
"Ningning is growing now and is most likely to get hungry. Manman is worried that he won't be able to afford good food at school, so she makes some meat for him and sends it over."
Lin Man not only prepared two boxes of meat dishes for her son, but also steamed a bowl of egg custard for him, prepared a box of kimchi, two boxes of rice, and a bag of fruits and snacks.
After packing up these things, I hurried downstairs.
Huo Junshan sighed again, "You should let Xiao Song and your wife learn more and pay more attention to your own children.
Yichen is the same age as Wenwen, and he is half a year older than Wenwen, but he is half a head shorter than Wenwen."
"Dad, some kids have longer fronts and some have longer backs. Everyone is different. Besides, my wife is tall and I'm not short, so it's normal for them to be taller than average."
Huo Junshan said, "Genetics is one thing, but the most important thing is that you are willing to eat. If you eat well and get enough nutrition, the child will naturally grow taller."
Huo Qingci smiled and teased, "Since Dad is so worried that Chenchen won't grow taller, wait until he comes to the city to go to school and let him come to the courtyard for dinner on Saturdays and Sundays!"
"If you don't mind, that kid would definitely be willing to come to your house for dinner."
"He's my eldest nephew, why would I dislike him? Besides, how much can a child eat? Am I afraid that he will bankrupt us?
Wenwen likes Yichen the most. When Yichen comes to the city to study, let him come over and play with Wenwen."
Although he had some opinions about his brother and sister-in-law, he had no opinions about his nephew at all.
"Okay, I know you two are generous, but it's getting late, so your grandfather and I should go back!"
"Dad, since you and Grandpa are here, let's eat in the kitchen tonight! I'll ask the chef to kill a chicken and stir-fry a few dishes. You can go back after dinner."
"Yi Chen is still waiting for me to pick him up at school. Your mother and your sister will stay at Qing Yan's house tonight and go back tomorrow afternoon."
Seeing that his father was going back to pick up his nephew from school, Huo Qingci no longer persuaded him to stay for dinner.
Song Jingjing's clothing store will open tomorrow, and his mother must have stayed to help today. Forget it, just let them be!
