Chapter 104: Huo Li's Little Plan (Page 1/2)
Huo Qingci handed the things he brought to his uncle Liao Hongyuan. Liao Hongyuan felt that he was incompetent and had to rely on his wife's nephew for support.
"Xiao Ci, you don't have to carry a lot of things every time you come here. It's hard for you to work alone, and you have to support your wife and your brother."
"Uncle, my salary is decent enough to support Manman and Qinghuan. There are only a few salted fish and four pounds of brown sugar in this bag, and the rest are vegetables."
Those vegetables were all grown by Manman in his space, including cucumbers, eggplants, tomatoes, beans, bitter melons and water spinach. He prepared six or seven pounds of each, which was enough for them to eat for ten days. If they couldn't finish them all at once, they could dry them.
Xiao Rong smiled and said, "I'm so lucky to have such a filial nephew. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't know where we'd be suffering."
Huo Qingci wanted to show his aunt the wound, but when he opened the cloth strip, he saw that it was inflamed. He was worried that his aunt would have a scar on her forehead.
He used clean cotton to clean the wound for his aunt, then took out a jar of ointment made from the medicinal spring from his pocket, applied it to his aunt, and said:
"Auntie, apply this ointment every morning and evening. Don't get it wet. The wound will heal in three or four days.
When the scab forms, don't pick at it. Let it fall off on its own and there shouldn't be any scars."
The enhanced repair ointment made from Yaoquan can not only reduce inflammation and relieve pain, but also repair wounds. It is effective for both new and old wounds, but it is more effective for new wounds.
Xiao Rong felt a cool sensation on her forehead, and the burning pain disappeared. She asked, "What kind of medicine did you apply to me? It feels so cool and comfortable. Is it something your hospital developed?"
"No, it's made by a friend. If you like it, I'll send you two more boxes next time. By the way, aunt, do you want to find a job for your cousin?"
When Liao Hongyuan heard about the job introduction for his daughter, his breathing became rapid. It was their parents who dragged their children down and made them suffer on the farm with them.
"Xiao Ci, it should be difficult for Sijie and the others to find jobs, right?" Liao Hongyuan spoke cautiously.
Xiao Rong agreed, "Yes, we are the ones who have burdened the child, but where can we find a job for Si Jie now?
The children now help us cut and carry pineapples on the farm every day, and their backs are sunburned and peeling."
Thinking of this, Xiao Rong couldn't help but feel sad. If there hadn't been this movement, the children would all be in school and wouldn't have to work so hard.
"Aunt, Manman is pregnant. After Manman gives birth, I want Sijie to come over and help take care of the child. I'll give her 20 yuan a month initially, and then I'll give her more money later."
"Is Manman pregnant? Why didn't you tell me last time? Take these things back. Why did you buy so many things when your wife is pregnant?
I pickled a jar of sour mangoes, but the kids don't like them. Give them to your wife."
Xiao Rong looked at Liao Sijie after she finished speaking. "Xiao Jie, your cousin wants you to help take care of their child. What do you think?"
"Mom, I know my cousins are doing this for my own good, but after I'm gone, who will cook for you and help you look after your sister?"
"If you leave, we'll cook for ourselves. You won't earn many work points on the farm, and if you get tanned like a black bear, how are you going to find a partner in the future?"
Xiao Rong also hopes for the best for her daughter. After all, she is only a teenage girl. If she is tanned like charcoal, it will be really troublesome for her to get married. It doesn't matter for boys.
Liao Hongyuan also advised: "Your cousin and his wife are worried about you, so they asked you to go over and help take care of the children. Sijie, your mother is right. It's hard for girls to find a partner if they are too dark. Your parents all hope that you will have a good life."
Liao Sijie looked at her parents with tears in her eyes. Her parents felt sorry for her and she also felt sorry for them. The hands that used to hold a pen were finally used to hold farm tools, facing the loess and back to the sky, working day and night.

Liao Sijie didn't want her parents to worry, so she hesitated for a long time and said, "Brother, when will my cousin give birth?"
"It will take until the end of the first lunar month!"
"Oh, then I'll go there during the first month of the year."
"Xiao Jie, don't worry. Manman said she'll give you two or three days off every month, so you can come back to see your aunt."
"Thank you, cousin and cousin-in-law. I will help you take care of the children."
Huo Qingci smiled and gently rubbed Liao Sijie's little head.
As soon as Huo Liyi received a call from his grandson, he asked the driver to take him to the home of the third son Huo Junshan in the afternoon.
When Xiao Ya saw her father-in-law coming over, she quickly asked him to sit down and eat. Huo Li saw that his grandson Huo Qingyan was not at home and asked, "Why is Qingyan not at home?"
"I've been training recently, and the assessment is coming soon."
"I see. If I've heard about the pilot assessment, I'll find him a partner next year."
"I asked him, and he said there was no rush."
"His eldest brother is about to become a father, why isn't he in a hurry at all? He's only two years younger than Qingci."
Huo Junshan's mouth twitched. His father didn't come here to urge Qingyan to get married, but obviously came here to show off that Qingci was going to be a father.
"Dad, don't worry. We'll try to persuade him when he comes home one day."
Huo Li snorted coldly, "Qingci called and told Xiaoya not to rush to resign. He plans to ask the girl from the Liao family to help take care of Xiaoman and the child."
Xiao Ya was stunned. "Don't they want me to help take care of the child?"
"Qingci, he welcomes your leave, but he doesn't want you to quit your job. I think it would be better if you could take six months off and say you want to recuperate.
It's a good time to avoid the limelight. We can go to the island together at the end of the year and celebrate the New Year there this year."
Xiao Ya looked at her father-in-law and then at her husband. If she took her father-in-law to the island to celebrate the New Year with her son and daughter-in-law, then wouldn't her husband and second son have to celebrate the New Year at home alone?
"Junshan, what do you think of Dad's suggestion? I'll go over there early to look after Manman, and you and Qingyan can spend the New Year at home."
"What else can I do? Even if we wanted to go, we don't have the time. Just traveling back and forth by car would take ten days.
The weather there is nice and the winters are warm, so it would be nice for you to take Dad there for the New Year. The problem now is asking for sick leave. What kind of illness are you planning to get that will require six months of recuperation?"
Xiao Ya said without thinking: "They said I'm old and my qi and blood are deficient."
Huo Li said, "I'll tell them about the sick leave for you. Now, finish the project on hand and don't let anyone take advantage of you."
Xiao Ya said, "Dad, if you ask for leave to go to the island, your uncle and the others won't have any objections, right?"
“What do they have to say? My legs are on my body and I can go wherever I want.
I've lived a long life, and apart from being on the battlefield and visiting other provinces, I've never even seen what the sea looks like. Do I need your permission to go anywhere?"
Seeing that his father was a little upset, Huo Junshan quickly apologized on his wife's behalf, "Dad, if you want to go, go ahead! I haven't seen the sea either. I'll take some time off to pick you up when I have time."
"Why are you asking for leave? Just go to work honestly.
If the life there is comfortable, I will stay there for a few more months. My old comrade has settled down there, and I can play chess with him when I have nothing to do. "
Since he is not in Beijing, the children don't have to wish him a happy new year. How easy it is, saving both trouble and money.
As for going to his eldest grandson's place, he would definitely not cause them any trouble. If there was no place for him to live, he would ask Lao Lu to arrange for him to go to a nursing home.
