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,...

The children cheered excitedly, their voices echoing throughout the yard.
Lin Man looked at them with a smile, then turned to Sister Huang and said, "Sister Huang, could you please prepare some hot water for the children so they can soak their feet first, and then wash their faces and butts after they finish eating the noodles?"
Sister Huang quickly nodded in agreement and walked quickly to the backyard to prepare a bucket and hot water.
Lin Man turned and went to the kitchen to cook noodles for the children.
As for the hot pot restaurant, Lin Man decided not to go there for the time being. Hot pot restaurants usually open until eight or nine o'clock, and it was already late, so she couldn't help much.
After the hot pot restaurant closes, my brother-in-law will bring the eldest and second sons back by bicycle, which is also good.
As for the sales of other stores, Lin Man had already put them into her own space.
She had already taken away most of the hot pot restaurant's sales, and now only a small portion remained with Huo Qinghuan.
But this doesn't affect anything. Lin Man believes that Huo Qinghuan will handle the rest of the matters properly.
Lin Man was busy in the kitchen. She fried a dozen eggs and served them separately on plates, then heated up the broth in the pot.
Then she boiled water to cook the noodles. When the water in the pot was boiling, she skillfully put a handful of noodles into the water and stirred them gently with chopsticks to ensure that the noodles would not stick together.
After a while, the hot steam rising from the pot brought with it a faint aroma of noodles. She took out a large basin and began to prepare the seasoning.
Salt, soy sauce, sesame oil, and a few slices of green onion, everything is ready. She scoops up the noodles, drains the water, pours them into a bowl, and pours all the heated broth into the bowl. A bowl of hot noodles is ready.
She carefully carried the noodles to the living room, ready to call the children to eat.

But at this moment, she suddenly noticed that her grandfather was wearing a coat and slowly walked out of the bedroom.
Lin Man walked over and asked with concern: "Grandpa, would you like some noodles?"
Old man Huo Li shook his head, his eyes gentle and deep. "No, I just drank a cup of milk powder. I'm not very hungry now."
He turned his gaze to the children sitting on the sofa, his brows slightly furrowed, "Why are Chenchen and the others here? Why haven't they eaten yet at this time?"
Lin Man explained with a smile: "Xinxin and Wenwen went to play at my brother's house this afternoon, and I just brought them back.
You know Xinxin always likes to sleep with Zizi and Rourou, and Wenwen wants to sleep with Chenchen, so they all came over.
Wenwen has always had a big appetite. She probably didn't eat much at her brother-in-law's house that night, so she complained of being hungry when she got home. So I specially cooked some noodles for her.
Huo Li listened to Lin Man's explanation and smiled lovingly, "The children are growing, so they do eat more than usual."
Huo Li knew that although Lin Man was the same age as Song Jingjing, she was always so careful and considerate. She always took care of the children and the elderly in the family.
After serving the noodles, Lin Man went back to the kitchen to get the bowls and chopsticks, as well as the plate of fried eggs. After putting the bowls and chopsticks away, she shouted loudly:
"Children, come and eat noodles."
The children, wearing cotton slippers, rushed to the table. Huo Yixin saw a plate of eggs and counted them carefully. "Mom, there are only five of us. Why did you fry ten eggs?"
"Your eldest brother, second brother, and uncle will be back soon. If you can't finish the food, put it aside for now."
