Chapter 178: Come Back Next Year (Page 1/2)
There was such a big duck in front of him. He was not stupid, so how could he not recognize it?
Huo Qinghuan said with a forced smile, "Second brother, you're back so early!"
"Don't be so sarcastic, this roast duck was bought specially for you by your sister-in-law."
Huo Qinghuan smiled and said to Ling Fei, "Thank you, second sister-in-law."
Ling Fei smiled guiltily. Was she stupid? She forgot to prepare a gift for her brother-in-law after getting married, and Huo Qingyan didn't even remind her in the afternoon at the department store.
Thinking of this, Ling Fei took out ten yuan from her pocket and handed it to Huo Qinghuan.
"Huanhuan, my sister-in-law forgot to buy you some candy and biscuits while shopping today. You can spend this money."
Huo Qinghuan shook his head. "Thank you, Second Sister-in-law. No need. My eldest sister-in-law will send me some snacks in a while, so we don't have to spend money on candy and biscuits."
"Huanhuan, this is what my sister-in-law sent, and this is for you, take it!"
Huo Qinghuan looked up at Huo Qingyan. Huo Qingyan figured out what was going on and said with a smile:
"Take what your sister-in-law gives you. Don't buy food with it. Use it to buy notebooks and ink."
Huo Qinghuan took the money and said thank you. He then ran to the kitchen and asked his mother, "Mom, my second sister-in-law gave me ten yuan and told me to buy food."
Xiao Ya looked back at her youngest son and said, "Just take what your sister-in-law gave you and save it. You can spend it when you enter the first grade of the new year next year."
"Mom, I've saved eighty or ninety yuan."
“Where did you get so much money?
"The New Year's money you gave me, plus the rewards from my older brother and sister-in-law, adds up to this much. With these ten dollars, I've saved a hundred dollars."
Xiao Ya gave Huo Qinghuan a thumbs up and praised him, "My son is great. If you continue to save money like this, when you grow up and get married, we won't even need to prepare a dowry for you."
Xiao Ya started joking, and Huo Qinghuan felt a little embarrassed and ran away. At this time, Huo Qingyan came in carrying a roast duck, "Mom, my wife packed some roast duck for you."
"Okay, you guys are so thoughtful. You take the dishes out and I'll chop the duck."
A roast duck costs several dollars, but Xiao Ya did not accuse her son of spending money recklessly because of this, nor did she ask him how much he spent on his trip.
Their second son lived with them, and they only had to pay 20 yuan for food every month. They saved the rest of their son's salary.
Even if they spent all their money, she would not interfere. The children had their own families and they had their freedom even if they lived together.
She would not interfere too much in their lives, as she did not want to be a bad mother or mother-in-law that everyone hated.
After dinner, Ling Fei took the initiative to help wash the dishes. After washing the dishes, she found Xiao Ya and said, "Mom, I don't know how to use the sewing machine. If you need it, you can use it!"
"Fei Fei, if you don't know how to use a sewing machine, I can teach you. When you have a baby, you can make clothes for the baby yourself."
"Thank you, Mom. How about you teach me now? Today I'll start by teaching me how to assemble the sewing machine head."
Xiao Ya followed Ling Fei into the room. Huo Qingyan was shocked. "Mom, now that you're done, why don't you go talk to Dad?"
"Why, I can't come into your bedroom?"
Huo Qingyan wanted to say, it’s not that he couldn’t, but it’s better not to come in when he is there, so as not to disturb his good deeds.
He smiled and said flatteringly: "How can that be? You are my biological mother. Mom, please sit down!"
Xiao Ya naturally understood what her son meant, but it was not even eight o'clock yet. Was this kid so lazy and in such a hurry to rest?
"I'll come in and teach your wife how to use the sewing machine. It won't take much time."
Huo Qingyan smiled awkwardly and said, "You guys are busy. I'll go out and talk to Dad." After that, he strode out.
When Huo Junshan saw Huo Qingyan coming out of the room, he called him over to play chess.
"Qingyan, come play a game with me. Your brother's level is not good enough, he needs more training."

Huo Qinghuan rolled his eyes and said, "Dad, what's wrong with me? No one in my class is better than me. I'm the monitor of our class."
"Okay, little squad leader, please give way and let your second brother play a game." Huo Qingyan said with a playful smile.
Huo Qinghuan snorted coldly and stood up, thinking that his elder brother and sister-in-law were the best. They respected him regardless of whether he was a child or not, and did not undermine his self-confidence.
When his eldest brother is transferred back, he must move in with his eldest brother. Not only can he eat and sleep well at his eldest brother's house, but he will also have a lot of freedom.
Huo Qinghuan sat aside and watched his father and second brother play chess. "Dad, will my eldest brother really be transferred back next summer?"
"Well, not only will he be transferred back, but he will also be transferred to the Space Force. From now on, you will be able to see your eldest brother and the others more often."
Huo Qinghuan asked again: "Dad, my eldest brother has been transferred to the Air Force Hospital. Will the hospital give him an apartment?"
“I’ve just been transferred here, so I’ll probably be assigned a single dormitory first, but luckily your grandfather has a small courtyard.
Your grandfather said that your eldest brother should live with them and move back in after your brother gets his share of the house."
Huo Qinghuan thought that there were only two bedrooms in his grandfather's courtyard, and it would definitely not be enough for his cousin to live there.
At this time, Lin Man, who was still in confinement after giving birth, also talked about this topic with Huo Qingci.
"Qingci, we'll go back next summer and you'll go to work at the Air Force Hospital. Where will we live?
The hospital probably won't assign you a room at first, so the most you can apply for is a dormitory, right?"
"Well, we might have to move in with Grandpa."
"Grandpa's place isn't that big! It seems to have only two rooms, and the driver lives in one of them."
"No, we'll go over there and Uncle will go back to live there. And don't worry, even though there are only two rooms, we can put a small bed in the dining room for Sijie to sleep on."
They have many rooms in their courtyard house in the city, and they can also go back to live there, but if they do that, Lin Man and Huo Qingci will have to live apart.
Huo Qingci would rather squeeze in than live apart from Lin Man.
Lin Man looked at her little son lying on the bed without crying or making a fuss, and her heart softened. How could this child be so well-behaved?
"Qingci, when our second child is six months old, we will put him in the space and take him out fishing together."
"Well, before we go back, we really need to stock up on some more seafood. We don't know when we'll be able to come to the island again."
"Qingci, Jin City is only about 200 kilometers away from the capital, right?"
Huo Qingci smiled and explained, "Actually, the distance between the two places isn't that far, but I'm not very familiar with the port of Jinshi. If I rashly take out my boat to fish, I'm afraid I'll be discovered."
"Well, in that case, let's find a way to fill all the fish holds and any remaining cold storage spaces on all the fishing boats with seafood before we go back next year!"
In this way, they will never have to worry about seafood again in their lives, and they can enjoy it to their heart's content.
When the time is right, you can sell these seafood.
Huo Qingci smiled slightly and asked curiously, "Manman, those large ships alone can carry hundreds of tons of seafood.
Taking into account the large cold storage, do we really have to fish at sea for half a month?"
"No need. In fact, it will only take a few days at most. After all, the fishing boats in our space are all high-tech fishing boats.
As long as we use radar to scan where the fish are, we can catch 80 to 90 tons of fish with one net."
Huo Qingci had to admit that these ships were indeed high-tech ships. However, they also needed to operate them themselves.
For example, using a crane to lift the fishing net, untying the net mouth and pushing the fish into the fish tank were all very laborious tasks. If it weren't for Lin Man, he really didn't want to take the risk of fishing.
