Chapter 219: Unfulfilled Expectations (Page 1/2)
After Lin Man took the two little ones to play at Aunt Tian's house for more than ten minutes, Liao Sijie hurried over to call them home for dinner, and then she came back with the children in her arms.
After the family enjoyed a happy dinner, Lin Man carried her young son back to the room to rest. Huo Qingci followed her into the room and closed the door.
He asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Manman, why did you suddenly think of taking the children to Aunt Tian's to see the chicks? We clearly have space at home!"
Lin Man carefully placed her youngest son on the bed, then tiptoed to Huo Qingci's side and explained in a low voice:
"Actually, I went to find Qin Xiaomin on purpose! You know, she used to scold our Ningning for looking like a fat pig!
So I just secretly sprinkled some magic powder that can turn people into big fat pigs on the back of her neck."
After hearing this, Huo Qingci couldn't help but ask worriedly, "You sprinkled the powder on the back of her neck. Didn't she notice it? And will the powder enter your body?"
Lin Man smiled confidently and comforted her, "Don't worry, I told her there was a small moth on the back of her neck, and then I patted her neck gently, and she didn't suspect anything at all.
Moreover, this powder is very mild and will not irritate the skin at all. She will definitely not be able to detect it.
As for me, don't forget that I possess powerful wood-related abilities! All plant toxins have no effect on me! "
If it weren't for the fact that it was difficult to retaliate publicly, with her temper, she really wanted to throw a powerful lightning ball at Qin Xiaomin and turn her into charcoal to vent her anger.
When Huo Qingci heard Lin Man say this, he finally felt relieved. Lin Man looked at Huo Qingci with a raised eyebrow.
"Are you so worried about me getting fat? Women's bellies tend to loosen up after giving birth, making them more likely to gain weight. Are you men worried about women getting fat?"
Huo Qingci hugged Lin Man and sat down on the bed, carefully explaining: "I'm not worried about you getting fat, but based on your current height, even if you gain another 20 kilograms, it will be within the normal range.
If you gain 50 or 60 pounds, you're a bit fat. Excessive obesity is a disease, and I'm worried about your health."
"I wouldn't let myself suddenly gain 50 or 60 pounds, unless I was pregnant and couldn't control it well."
Huo Qingci held Lin Man's little face in his hands and kissed him on the cheek with a smile.
At this moment, Huo Yian, who was sitting on the bed playing by himself, suddenly stood up, staggered to Lin Man's back and lay on his back, "Mom..."
Lin Man turned around and looked at Huo Yian in surprise, "Baby, you walked here by yourself?"
Huo Qingci turned around and looked at the little guy lying on his wife's back, drooling, and said with a smile: "Our An An will probably be one year old next month and will really be able to walk on his own."
Lin Man smiled and said, "Yes, our An An has also started learning to walk. It will be fun this time next year. I guess he will have to compete with Ning Ning for the bicycle by then."
Huo Qingci stood up, grabbed Huo Yian from behind Lin Man, and let him sit on the bed again.
"Ningning probably won't fight with An'an for the bicycle. If they do, we'll buy An'an a new one. We can't let our An'an suffer just because she's the second child."
Lin Man nodded and said, "Yes, you're right. Usually the second child in a family is the most likely to be wronged. We should be nicer to An An. By the way, how is He Yanqiu in your office?"
Speaking of He Yanqiu, Huo Qingci couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. Manman had given her some medicine that caused sores on her buttocks. Not only had she been restless these past two days, but she also had a rotten smell on her body, which really suffocated them.

"Manman, the medicine you gave her is a bit scary. It's only been two days and she's already starting to smell bad."
Lin Man thought about it. Could it be that she had taken too much medicine? The boil on her butt had already started to fester after only two days?
"Why didn't that person ask for leave?"
"The director asked her to go to the anorectal department, but she refused. The anorectal department is full of male doctors, and I guess she was embarrassed because she didn't have a partner.
She told the director that she had eaten too many chili peppers and had a sore throat, and that she could go to the pharmacy to buy some chrysanthemums and boil them in water to get better.
Doctor Xiao told me privately that she smells bad and he suspects she has an anal fistula. Manman, how long do you think it will take for her to recover?
Lin Man replied, "If she takes treatment seriously, it will probably take a week, but if she doesn't, it's hard to say. Qingci, are you worried about her?"
Huo Qingci said unhappily, "Why should I worry about her? I'm simply afraid that the stench she emits will get worse and worse, thus affecting my normal work. I actually hope she can take a leave and not come again during this period of time."
"Oh, I see. By the way, she's an intern. Which doctor in your department is in charge of her?"
"It's Doctor Liang."
Lin Man thought that it was Dr. Xiao who was taking care of He Yanqiu, but she didn't expect that it was another older doctor, Dr. Liang.
"Qingci, given your abilities, the hospital should be able to arrange for you to teach the interns, right?"
After hearing this, Huo Qingci smiled slightly and explained, "Actually, I've already mentioned this to the director before. To avoid trouble, if there are any interns coming to our department for internship in the future, I will only take male comrades with me. The director has agreed."
Lin Man was not worried that any sparks would arise between Huo Qingci and the female intern.
Even if he was really asked to teach female interns, she would not have any objection.
After all, work is work and life is life, and as Huo Qingci's wife, it is not easy for me to interfere with his work.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is September 10th.
Lin Man was looking forward to it with great joy. She thought that today was Teacher's Day and the school would definitely give some gifts or benefits to the hard-working teachers.
However, a whole day passed without any movement.
Lin Man was very puzzled as her expectations were dashed. She couldn't help but start to wonder: Did she remember the date wrong?
After much thought, she suddenly realized...
Teacher's Day today is no longer the same day as it was in the future! How could she suddenly forget such an important thing after she came back?
Nowadays, people generally regard May Day as a holiday for teachers, because everyone says that teachers are also one of the vast number of workers!
Thinking of this, Lin Man couldn't help laughing and patted her head gently.
She recalled the evolution of Teachers' Day, starting with June 6, 51 years ago, and now Labor Day is considered a teacher's holiday.
In 1982, Teachers' Day was set on May 5th; two years later, after some adjustments and reforms, it was finally decided on September 10th.
With the development of the times and changes in social concepts, the date of Teachers' Day is also constantly evolving.
