Chapter 170: Don’t Cause Trouble for Children (Page 1/2)
The two came out of the warehouse, and Huo Qingci took Lin Man into his space again.
"Manman, let me go to the field and show you what kind of fruits there are."
"No need to look. I can use my supernatural powers to make fruit trees grow whatever fruit I like to eat."
Lin Man thought that in this season, the only fruits that were normally ripe in the fields were sugarcane, coconut and papaya, while cherries, plums, peaches, lychees, mangoes... were still in bloom.
She didn't want to eat sugarcane, so she decided to grow a cherry tree. Lin Man went to the field and used her supernatural powers to grow a cherry tree.
Huo Qingci just watched quietly as the cherry blossoms fell, and bunches of green and sour fruits grew on the tree trunks, slowly growing bigger, turning red, and then dark purple.
"Manman, do you feel dizzy when you transfer your supernatural powers to the cherry tree?"
"No, you come pick the cherries, and I'll ripen a plum tree, a lychee tree, a mango tree, and a bayberry tree."
Huo Qingci hurried back to the cabin to get a basket to pick cherries. Lin Man stopped transmitting supernatural powers without ripening the fruits on the plum and mango trees, and all the fruits on the lychee and bayberry trees were ripened.
Huo Qingci looked at her in confusion and asked, "Manman, plums and mangoes are green. Are you planning to eat them raw or pickled?"
"Yes, I'm going to pick some green plums, flatten them, pickle them, and eat them with chili powder. I'm also going to peel and cut the green mangoes into small pieces and dip them into the sour plum powder or chili powder."
After Lin Man said this, Huo Qingci felt that the saliva in his mouth increased. He didn't dare to eat these sour plums and mangoes.
Lin Man picked a green plum without washing it and put it into her mouth. It was sour and astringent. It seemed that it needed to be ripened a little more.
So she transferred some more supernatural power to the plum tree, and when she saw that the plums began to turn slightly yellow, she quickly stopped transferring the supernatural power.
I picked another one and tasted it. It was still a bit sour, but at least not astringent. I picked a dozen or so to make raw pickles.
Liao Sijie discovered that her cousin's wife loved making cold dishes, and she also liked to add aged vinegar to them, so she couldn't help but ask, "Cousin's wife, are you pregnant again?"
Lin Man didn't expect Liao Sijie to see through her, so she smiled and explained, "Yes, I'm pregnant."
"Cousin, you're pregnant. Does my aunt have to take leave again to come over?"
"No, if mother-in-law takes sick leave again, her job will probably be over. Besides, your second cousin has found a partner and may be getting married in November this year. Mother-in-law won't have time to come over."
"Don't worry, cousin. It's okay if your period doesn't come. I will take care of you during the confinement period."
Lin Man smiled. Since her mother-in-law couldn't come, she would take care of the second child by herself, and Liao Sijie only had to help her take care of the eldest son.
"Okay, thank you, and thank you for your hard work."
"Cousin, should I write a letter to tell my aunt about this now?"
"Not for now. Your cousin will call back on May Day."
After Liao Sijie knew that Lin Man was pregnant, she turned around and told Huo Qinghuan within a few minutes. Huo Qinghuan ran to Lin Man and said:
"Sister-in-law, are you pregnant again? No wonder I dreamed last night that a naked child peed on my face. Sister-in-law, are you pregnant again this time? Is it a son?"
Lin Man looked at Huo Qinghuan in surprise. What's wrong with this guy? She was pregnant and he helped her have a dream about the pregnancy.
"Qinghuan, how do you know this baby is a boy again?"
"I couldn't see what that person looked like in my dream, but I knew that the naked child peed while standing. Sister-in-law, when will you give me an obedient little niece?"
"Just wait. If this pregnancy doesn't work, I'll definitely give you a beautiful, well-behaved, and sensible niece in the next one."
"If you can't give birth, then you can only let your second sister-in-law give birth. Unfortunately, my second brother likes boys and doesn't like girls."
"Did your second brother tell you?"
"Well, my second brother said that if he had a son, he would let him join the army..."

Before going to bed at night, Lin Man told Huo Qingci about Huo Qinghuan's pregnancy dream. Huo Qingci said, "That wasn't a pregnancy dream. He might have dreamed about Ningning."
Lin Man smiled and said, "I'll know the result in mid-May."
On May Day, Huo Qingci called home and told his father that Lin Man was pregnant. Huo Junshan was extremely excited when he received the news.
He didn't even bother to eat lunch and immediately set off to where his father was. When Huo Li heard the news, his face showed joy and he said "good" three times in succession.
"Junshan! I heard that the elementary school has resumed classes. Why don't you just take a leave and go pick Qinghuan up in person? After all, Xiaoman is pregnant again and doesn't have much energy to take care of Qinghuan."
Huo Junshan replied with difficulty: "Dad, I've been too busy with work recently and I really can't ask for leave. Otherwise, let Qingci take a leave and come back."
Huo Li nodded in agreement: "Okay, then remember to call him tomorrow and explain the situation."
In fact, if the two places were not so far apart, Huo Li really wanted to go to the island and live there for a while. But when he thought about the bumpy and tiring journey, he had to give up.
At this time, Huo Junshan couldn't help but speak again: "Dad, Xiaoman is pregnant again this time. Do you think it is possible to let Qingci come back this year?"
Huo Li pondered for a moment and responded, "I'm afraid it won't work this year. Let's wait until next year. By then, it will be exactly three years, and we can transfer him back to the Air Force General Hospital here."
Huo Junshan knew it was impossible, so he stopped talking about it. He said, "Dad, Xiaoman's due date is about ten days after National Day, and Qingyan is getting married in November. Xiaoya may not be able to spare the time to go to the island to take care of her this time."
"Don't worry too much about Liao Hongyuan's daughter. Qingci has been a father for over a year and is now quite capable of taking care of children. If possible, send them some more things and money."
"Okay, I know. Qingci said he sent us a lot of seafood a few days ago. Dad, do you want to stay at my house for a while?"
"No! I won't cause you any more trouble."
He lives alone and is free. Someone helps him wash his clothes and get his meals from the canteen. He can eat whatever he wants without having to worry about anyone's mood. It's so nice not to cause trouble for his son and daughter-in-law.
In the evening, Huo Junshan returned home. As soon as he entered the house, he ran excitedly to Xiao Ya and said, "Xiao Ya, I have good news for you."
"What good news?"
"Xiao Man is pregnant again, it's almost three months."
"What? You said Xiao Man is pregnant again? Haven't they been using birth control? How come she's pregnant again?"
Xiao Ya knew that her son and daughter-in-law had been using contraception and said they would wait a few years before having another child. She didn't expect them to be pregnant again so soon. Could it be that they wanted to have the baby quickly and complete the task quickly?
"Qingci didn't say that either. Anyway, our family is going to have another baby this year. I hope she gives birth to a beautiful granddaughter."
Xiao Ya glanced at Huo Junshan and said, "You're dreaming!"
Huo Qingyan walked in and asked with a smile, "Mom, what is my dad thinking about? Is he looking for a stepmother for me?"
Huo Junshan kicked Huo Qingyan without thinking, "What nonsense are you talking about? I want your sister-in-law to give me a beautiful granddaughter, how can that be wishful thinking?
Your sister-in-law is pregnant again, and the estimated due date is mid-to-late October. Aren't you getting married in November? Work hard and try to become a father next summer."
It turned out that my eldest sister-in-law was pregnant again. My eldest brother was about to have two children, but he was still not married.
After he marries Ling Fei in November, will he let Ling Fei give birth to a big fat boy like Huo Yining next year?
Seeing his son standing there with that silly grin, Huo Junshan yelled, "What kind of sweet dream are you having, you little brat?"
"Giving birth to a son..."
