Chapter 12 You Are My Wife (Page 1/2)
Huo Qinghuan looked at the roast duck in Huo Junshan's hand and said, "Dad, did you go eat roast duck today? Why didn't you invite me? I haven't eaten it in a long time."
"Didn't I pack two of them? Your uncle, aunt, grandparents and others will be coming over tonight, and your aunt and her family will be coming too."
"Okay, I'll eat it tonight then."
As soon as he entered the hall, Huo Qingci piled everything in his hands on the table and pulled Lin Man towards the side room.
Lin Man was startled and asked, "What are you doing?"
It's broad daylight now, could it be that Huo Qingci wants to spend the wedding night with her?
"Take you to see grandpa."
Lin Man then realized that she had misunderstood and her face turned red. "Isn't it a bit awkward for me to come to your house empty-handed?"
"Since you've married me, don't think too much. Grandpa is not a snob."
Lin Man always felt a little aggrieved. According to normal etiquette, she should prepare clothes and shoes for Huo Qingci's parents and grandfather.
But in her current situation, even if there are billions of supplies in the space, she dare not take those things out and use them.
However, if she has the chance in the future, she will definitely give a gift to every member of the Huo family.
Huo Qingci let go of Lin Man's hand and knocked on the door gently, his voice gentle and polite, "Grandpa, is it convenient? We are here to visit you."
An old and kind voice came from the room, "Come in! The door is not locked."
Huo Qingci pushed open the door, took Lin Man's hand, and walked into the room cautiously. Lin Man held Huo Qingci's hand tightly, feeling a little nervous. She didn't know what the old man would think of her as his new daughter-in-law, nor did she know if she could win his love and approval.
Huo Qingci pulled Lin Man to Huo Li and introduced her to him with a smile, "Grandpa, this is my wife Lin Man."
His voice was filled with pride and joy. Lin Man bowed slightly and greeted Huo Li with a smile, "Hello, Grandpa. I'm Lin Man."
Huo Li put down the newspaper in his hand and slowly stood up.
His eyes were filled with love and warmth. He looked at Lin Man carefully, then smiled and said to her, "Good child, I'm sorry for making you feel wronged. I already know about your Lin family's affairs.
From now on, you are a member of our Huo family. If anyone bullies you, tell grandpa and he will teach him a lesson for you."
Lin Man looked at Huo Li with emotion, tears welling up in her eyes. She had never expected that this old man, whom she had just met, would be so caring and considerate of her.
A warm feeling welled up in her heart and she felt that she had found a real home.
"Thank you, Grandpa." Lin Man choked.
Huo Qingci said, "Grandpa, we went to Manman's house today to propose marriage. Director Wang of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative went to propose marriage on behalf of his stupid son, and Manman severed ties with her family."
Huo Li's face darkened. "This is outrageous! How could there be such parents who would sell their daughter to a fool?
Xiao Man, Qingci is being transferred to Hainan Island next month, so you should go with her. Huan Huan is on leave from school now, so I might need you to take care of him for a while.
Wait until Junshan and his wife finish the project, then go to the island to pick Huanhuan up."
"I understand, Grandpa."
A nine-year-old child is not a nine-month-old child. What else can you do besides feeding him and washing his clothes?
Huo Li smiled with satisfaction, took out a big red envelope and a red jade bracelet from the drawer and handed them to Lin Man.
"This red envelope is my gift to you. Marry Qingci and you two will live a good life. After a few years when the situation improves, I will find a way to transfer him back to Beijing.
That bracelet was given to Qingci by his grandmother when he got married. My husband has never worn it, so keep it for yourself."
A gift from an elder cannot be refused. Lin Man accepted the red envelope and the red jade bracelet with both hands, "Thank you, Grandpa."
"Okay, you guys go out first!"
Seeing that grandpa was in a bad mood, Lin Man thought that maybe he was thinking of his grandma who had passed away long ago?
Lin Man followed Huo Qingci out of the room. Huo Qingci said to Huo Junshan and Xiao Ya, "Dad, Mom, you two take a rest first. I'll take Lin Man back to the room."
When Xiao Ya heard that her son was going to take his daughter-in-law back to the room, she tactfully pulled Huo Junshan and Huo Qinghuan away.
"You guys take a rest too. I'll call you when your grandpa and the others come."
Huo Qingci took Lin Man's hand and walked into a room in the east courtyard. Lin Man was a little dazed, and before she could recover, he pulled her into this room covered with wedding characters.

The room was filled with a festive atmosphere. A big "囍" character was pasted on the wardrobe door, the enamel washbasin and kettle, and the towels and pillowcases were covered with "囍" characters.
These red wedding characters made the whole room warm and Lin Man suddenly felt at home.
She looked back at Huo Qingci, who also had a smile on his face. Lin Man felt warm in her heart, she knew that this man would be her lifelong partner.
Huo Qingci packed up his things, pulled Lin Man to the bed, gently took off her sandals, and then helped her sit on the bed.
Then he took out a passbook and several deposit slips from the bedside table and handed them to Lin Man.
Lin Man looked through the passbook and was shocked, "How did you save so much money?"
Huo Qingci smiled and said, "This is a secret. I'll tell you later."
Everyone has secrets. Since Huo Qingci didn't tell anyone, Lin Man naturally wouldn't ask. She returned the passbook and deposit slip to Huo Qingci.
"You'd better keep your money yourself!"
"In our family, women manage the money. Do you want me to give it to my mother?"
Huo Qingci looked at Lin Man with a half-smile after he finished speaking. Lin Man asked in return, "I have your passbook in my hand. Do you want to ask me for money?"
Huo Qingci agreed directly. Lin Man put the passbook and deposit slip aside and took out the two big red envelopes wrapped in red paper from her green schoolbag.
He tore off the red paper, counted the money, and said, "In the city, people usually give two or three hundred yuan as a gift to marry a wife. Why did your mother give me so much money?"
"My parents have good salaries, so you can take this money. My grandfather should have given him 500 yuan.
My aunt, uncle, and uncle will all be coming over, and there should be a few red envelopes, but it will definitely not be more than a hundred yuan."
Lin Man thought that it would be okay even if Huo Qingci's relatives didn't give her red envelopes. Ten or twenty yuan would be good enough. She couldn't even think of giving a hundred yuan.
"Huo Qingci, you should save this much money!"
"I'll take you to the bank to open an account later and deposit the money into your account. You can treat it as your own money and use it however you want."
Huo Qingci's voice was low and firm, as if he was promising her something.
Lin Man never thought that he would say such a thing.
She looked up in surprise, looking into his eyes, trying to find a trace of joking in his eyes, but all she saw was sincerity and tenderness.
Lin Man's eyes were a little moist. She didn't know what to say. She just stared at him blankly, feeling touched.
Huo Qingci looked at Lin Man's moved expression, and a tender feeling welled up in his heart.
He took her hand and said softly: "This is what I should do. You are my wife and I want you to be happy."
Lin Man felt the warmth of Huo Qingci's palm, and finally couldn't help but shed tears.
She threw herself into his arms, hugged him tightly, and said, "Thank you, Huo Qingci, you are so good to me. Thank you for giving me a home!"
Huo Qingci gently patted Lin Man's back and said, "Don't cry, it's just a small matter. You are my wife, and I want you to know that I will always be by your side, taking care of you and loving you."
Lin Man listened to Huo Qingci's words, her heart filled with happiness and gratitude. She knew she had found a good man, and she had won this marriage by chance.
"Can I call you Qingci?"
"Okay, you call me Qingci and I'll call you Manman. Okay, stop crying, and let's live a good life from now on."
"Qingci, I snatched you from Comrade Wang Yan. If I weren't there, would you have married her?"
Huo Qingci shook his head and said, "No, I don't seem to have that feeling towards her that I want to take care of her for the rest of her life.
But you are different. I want to take care of you and give you a warm home."
Lin Man asked again: "Did you marry me because you felt sorry for me?"
Huo Qingci smiled and shook his head, "No, I'm a soldier and a doctor. I've seen many women who have suffered more than you. Even if I sympathize with them, I don't want to marry them.
When you came to share a table with me and wanted to go on a blind date, I had only one thought in mind: marry you and give you happiness!
