Chapter 172: The Purpose of Having a Son (Page 1/2)
The corners of Huo Junshan's mouth twitched slightly. He knew very well that the old man had always favored grandsons, and the more the better, especially the great-grandson born to the eldest son, who was particularly doted on.
"Dad, I don't have a daughter, only three sons, so I sincerely hope Qingci can give birth to one or two lovely daughters."
Huo Li said, "Don't worry! After Xiao Man gives birth successfully, I'll give your family a well-behaved and smart granddaughter in two or three years."
Huo Qinghuan finished his meal, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and interrupted, "Dad, why do you have to wait for your eldest sister-in-law to give you a granddaughter? Isn't your second brother planning to get married this year? Why not just let your second sister-in-law give birth to a granddaughter for Mom and Dad?"
At that moment, Huo Qingyan walked into the room and saw his younger brother, whom he hadn't seen for two years, trying to persuade his father to ask his wife's parents to give birth to a granddaughter. Could it be that this guy was just asking for trouble?
"Huo Qinghuan, we haven't seen each other for two years, and you've become more and more daring. How dare you make fun of your second brother?
When I marry your sister-in-law, the first child will definitely be a son, followed by four or five big fat boys, and finally a little girl.
Huo Qinghuan glanced at the door. It was his second brother who had returned. He raised his eyebrows and stared at him provocatively, jokingly saying, "Second brother, you think you can give birth to a son? I think you might give birth to twin girls first."
"What did you say? You cursed me to have daughters, and two at once?"
Huo Qingci didn't understand why his brother didn't like having daughters. It would be great if he had two identical daughters at once, and it would be best if they both looked like Manman.
Huo Junshan glared at Huo Qingyan unhappily, "Why are you so fierce, kid? What's wrong with your brother asking you to have a daughter? You're still favoring boys over girls. Why isn't your mother's partner a woman?"
Huo Qingyan said aggrievedly, "How am I biased towards boys? I want to have a son because a real man is not afraid of hardship or fatigue.
I want my sons to join the military, too, to become skilled in the navy, army, and air force. One to fly a plane, one to drive a tank, and one to drive a ship."
Huo Junshan chuckled, "You're dreaming, kid. How about having two more sons, one to be a high-ranking official, and one to be a scientist?"
Huo Qingyan showed no sign of embarrassment at all. Instead, he shamelessly said, "Dad, you're like a worm that's burrowed into my stomach! How could you possibly know what's going on in my mind?"
His father glared at him and scolded him with a smile, "You are such a shameless boy! You even dream of having five sons, and you hope that they will all be outstanding. Why don't you just say you want to have nine sons? That way, the elites in various fields will all become part of your family!"
Huo Qinghuan glanced at his shameless second brother with disdain and snorted coldly, "Second brother, your face is thicker than a city wall."
"You deserve a beating, kid."
Huo Qinghuan snorted coldly, "Second brother, the more you want to have sons, the more likely you are to have a bunch of daughters."
Huo Qingci never expected that his second brother was so eager to have a son for such a reason.
Although he is now a father, he has never thought about what his children will do in the future.
As long as the children are happy and healthy, they can do whatever they like in the future, and he and Lin Man will not interfere too much.
Huo Qingci took out a bag of pork jerky and a bag of dried strawberries from his bag and handed them to Huo Qingyan, "Here, your sister-in-law made these especially for you."
Huo Qingyan took the pork jerky and dried strawberries and asked with a smile, "Brother, I heard that my sister-in-law is pregnant again. I just heard you say that she might be having another son. Can you tell me what your secrets are for having a son?"

"Is there a secret to having a son? If so, you can ask your parents."
Huo Qingci was too lazy to talk nonsense with this silly brother, lest the conversation would bring up the issue of his and Manman's sexual life.
“Cough! Cough!”
Huo Junshan coughed awkwardly twice and asked him the secret to having a son. It was the love between husband and wife. As for how to show love, of course, they had to figure it out for themselves.
Huo Li said, "Qingyan, one or two sons are enough. You won't be able to support more."
"Grandpa, I was just kidding. Ling Fei is petite and I don't plan on having her keep giving birth to children. Two or three will be enough. Two sons and one daughter will be fine."
Huo Li handed Huo Qingyan a stack of photos of Huo Yining and said, "Come, take a look at your nephew. Put two of them on the wall above your bed. Maybe your dream will come true."
Huo Qingyan quickly put the jerky and dried fruit back on the table, took the dozen photos from his grandfather's hand, and smiled as he looked at them. "Brother, what did your son eat? Why is he so fat? He's over a year old, but his face is still as round as a meat pie."
Huo Qingci said unhappily, "What meat pie? This is baby fat."
"Okay, okay, it's just baby fat. But my nephew has such long eyelashes and round eyes. Why does he look more and more like a girl?"
Huo Li glared at Huo Qingyan and scolded him, "Who told you that pretty girls are always girls? Our Yining is a boy. You'll know when he comes back next year."
"Brother, are you going to be transferred back next year?"
Huo Qingci didn't say anything, so Huo Junshan explained, "Your sister-in-law is about to give birth to her second child, and now that school has resumed, we must ask your eldest brother and sister-in-law to come back. This will also make it more convenient for Ningning to study in the future."
Huo Qingyan asked again: "My sister-in-law has given birth to her second child. How are they going to return with two children?"
Huo Qingci naturally thought about this problem. Next summer, their second child will not even be one year old, and their eldest child will only be two and a half years old. It will indeed not be very convenient to carry luggage.
"Next year, I'll let Sijie come back with us. Mom doesn't have time to take care of the kids, so let Sijie come with us."
Huo Li thought about it and decided to do the same. "Let Si Jie come back with you. What about the bicycle you bought on the island?"
The bicycle can actually be put away, but if I take it out my family will definitely find something unusual, and it is not practical to send it back, so I can only sell it or give it to my aunt and others to ride.
"To my uncle."
"Qingci, if you come back, your aunt and her family may not be able to come back for the next two years. If they can come back in the future, we will definitely find a way to bring them back. Commander Lu is still there, he will help keep an eye on them."
"Grandpa, I understand. I plan to bring Sijie back with me next year because I want her to stay in Beijing. She's not young anymore and will get married in two years."
"No problem. Ask your mother to introduce her to someone when the time comes. That girl is also honest and a good girl."
Huo Qingci took out another red envelope from his bag and handed it to Huo Qingyan, "Qingyan, your sister-in-law and I can't come back for your wedding. This is the red envelope for you."
When he got married, his brother gave him a red envelope of 100 yuan. When his son was born, he sent another 60 yuan. This time when his brother was getting married, he discussed with Lin Man and gave him 168 yuan, wishing him a good omen along the way!
He will give them additional red envelopes when they have children. After all, as the eldest brother, he cannot take advantage of his younger brothers. He should give them at least a little more.
