Chapter 171 Huo Qinghuan Returns Home (Page 1/2)
Huo Junshan patted Huo Qingyan's shoulder vigorously and said earnestly, "You kid, I'm afraid it's because you've been holding it in for too long that you're having these wild thoughts! Oh, by the way, Ling Fei's sister is getting married today, right?"
"Yes, the Ling family didn't have a wedding banquet today. I accompanied Ling Fei to the Chen family to attend the wedding banquet."
Huo Qingyan nodded, then complained indignantly, "My mother-in-law is so partial! To save face, she not only spent a lot of money to buy Ling Yue a watch, but also bought an extra sewing machine.
I really don't know whose betrothal money she used to buy these things?" As soon as he finished speaking, he sneered with contempt and disdain.
“Although the salary at the government agency isn’t high, given the income level of the Ling family, they should have some savings.
They bought a watch and a sewing machine for their eldest daughter, and if they didn't give their younger daughter the same treatment, they would inevitably be criticized by others.
Don't take it too seriously. In my opinion, the one who is really sad is Ling Fei.
Our family's financial situation is pretty good. Do you want to put pressure on Ling Fei to decide whether or not they will buy her a sewing machine? "
How could he possibly put pressure on Ling Fei? If she really didn't have a dowry, then she could just buy what the family needed later.
If the Ling family really treated Ling Fei so unfairly, then when they went to the Ling family to give gifts in the future, they would just have to be perfunctory.
After all, there is no need to invest too much emotion and energy in people who don't know how to cherish and respect others.
"Dad, if you and Mom continue to favor Ling Fei, then as your son, I will be very sad."
Huo Junshan walked up to Huo Qingyan with a look of dissatisfaction and kicked him, "You little bastard! Could it be that my wife and I are biased? People often say that second sons are often not valued, but that's not the case in our family.
Among the three of you brothers, you have been with us the longest.
When your eldest brother was a child, he was mostly taken care of by your grandparents, while your younger brother was raised like a wild child and even lived with your grandfather for a period of time.
In the past two years, I have even asked your brother to take care of it. Now you are accusing us of being partial, so tell me, who are we partial to?
Faced with his father's questioning, Huo Qingyan couldn't help feeling embarrassed. He subconsciously touched his nose and was speechless for a moment.
His parents were indeed not too partial to anyone. If you were to say who was the most partial in the family, it would definitely be his grandfather. His grandfather loved his eldest brother the most. He would live wherever his eldest brother was, and he would even lower his face to beg others for his eldest brother's sake.
The next day, Huo Junshan called Huo Qingci and asked him to take leave to send Huo Qinghuan back because their school had resumed classes.
After receiving the news, Huo Qingci immediately took a ten-day leave and sent Huo Qinghuan back to Beijing. He let him go to the fourth grade first, so that he could enter the fifth grade on September 1st. He would be thirteen years old next year and would be in the first grade of junior high school.
On May 8, Huo Qinghuan and Huo Qingci finally returned home after taking the train for several days. Huo Li learned that his eldest grandson would arrive today, so he went to his son's house early in the morning. It was not until eight o'clock in the evening that he saw his two grandsons with tired faces.
Seeing her two sons returning from a journey exhausted, Xiao Ya hurried over to pick up their luggage.
"Qingci, Huanhuan, you guys are finally back. Have you had dinner yet?"

Huo Qingci nodded, "Well, I haven't had dinner yet. Grandpa, you're here."
Huo Li said to Huo Qingci, "Your dad said you might arrive today, so I came to see you. Qingci, did you bring Ningning's photo with you this time?"
Huo Qinghuan interrupted, "Grandpa, the photo is in my schoolbag."
Huo Li looked at his grandson, who had grown taller, and said with a smile, "Qinghuan, you've grown a lot in less than a year!"
"Grandpa, I'm in the period of growing up."
Huo Junshan looked at his youngest son, whom he hadn't seen for nearly two years, and asked, "Why have you become so dark? Is the sun on the island really that strong?"
"Dad, my skin isn't dark, it's just my face and arms that are a little darker. I'll be able to lighten it up after some care."
Huo Junshan gently rubbed Huo Qinghuan's head and said, "It's better for boys to be darker."
"Dad, are you serious? Big brother, Dad hopes we are darker. You should get more sun exposure in the future."
Huo Qingci glanced at Huo Qinghuan. This kid had bad intentions. He was jealous that he was whiter than him. He was black and weird. He ran out whenever he had free time. If he wasn't black, who would be?
He's not stupid, why would he need a tan? She said she hoped he would be a little lighter, because a lighter shade would make him look more gentle and elegant. She didn't like rough men.
Huo Qingci put down his luggage and went to eat with Huo Qinghuan. After dinner, Huo Qingyan was nowhere to be seen, so he asked his father, "Dad, where is Qingyan?"
"He should have gone to the movies with his girlfriend. He should be back soon."
"When are they getting married?"
"November, maybe. You don't have to rush back specially. We won't host a banquet for them. Just have a family dinner with three or four tables."
Huo Qingci smiled and said, "Dad, I don't have time to come back. Manman is going to give birth in October. How can I have time to come back?"
Huo Junshan certainly knew that his daughter-in-law would give birth to her second child in October, and his eldest grandson would not be two years old until the first month of next year. This time his wife could not go, and he did not know whether Sijie could handle the child.
"Qingci, your wife is pregnant with a girl, right?"
Huo Qingci was about to deny it when Huo Qinghuan beside him suddenly interrupted and said, "Dad, I think my sister-in-law might be pregnant with a boy this time! Because a few days ago I dreamed of a child who looked very much like my brother. He was playing in the mud with Huo Yining."
Huo Qingci muttered to himself, thinking that his brother was a bit weird. His wife had been pregnant twice, but he had never had a dream about pregnancy. On the contrary, every time his wife got pregnant, this guy would start having random dreams.
After hearing what Huo Qinghuan said, Huo Junshan turned to look at Huo Qingci and asked, "Qingci, could it be that Xiaoman is pregnant with another boy this time?"
Huo Qingci nodded helplessly and replied, "Well...it's quite possible, but we can only confirm it after the baby is born."
In fact, as early as when their daughter-in-law was three months pregnant, they asked the space robot Xiaozhi to help with a scan and examination, and they already knew that this baby was still a son.
He had no choice but to say this just to avoid disappointing his father too much. After all, the old man had always been looking forward to having a granddaughter to hug.
Huo Li was delighted to hear this. "A son is good. If we have two more sons, and then a daughter in a few years, we'll have both a son and a daughter."
