Chapter 229: Grasping the One-Year-Old (Page 1/2)
After Huo Li said this, Du Xiaojuan was so frightened that she dared not move, while Huo Junheng glared at his wife fiercely to express his dissatisfaction.
At this time, Huo Wenjing, who had just come out of the bathroom, was surprised to see that the backyard was empty.
When he walked into the house, he found that everyone was gathered here. He explained awkwardly:
"My stomach suddenly hurt so much just now that I went to the bathroom. Why are you all staring at me?"
Before he finished speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on him.
Huo Wenjing couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. At this moment, he noticed the woman lying on the bamboo bed. It turned out that his girlfriend was drunk and mumbling something to herself.
When Huo Junlin remembered that his son was in love with a spy, he was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped Huo Wenjing.
Seeing this, Yang Huiling hurriedly pushed Huo Junlin away and shouted angrily, "Why are you hitting me?"
It was only then that Huo Wenjing realized, as if awakened from a dream, that he had been slapped by his father. He was filled with confusion, not understanding why his father had treated him this way.
"Dad, why did you hit me?"
"Not only did you find someone older than you, but you also found a spy. You're going to harm our entire family."
"What spy?"
Huo Junlin pointed at the woman lying on the bamboo bed and muttering to herself, "She, Su Yingzi, is not Chinese, nor is she the daughter of Deputy Commander Su. Did you know this?"
Huo Wenjing was stunned. "Dad, you said Yingzi is a spy?"
"She just sneaked into your grandfather's room, rummaged through things, and spoke in Sakura Mandarin. If she's not a spy, what is she?
How did you meet her? Why did she want to date you? You've only been dating for less than a month, so why is she so anxious to come with you to see the old man?
Huo Wenjing felt her legs go weak. How could she, the daughter of a deputy division commander, suddenly fall for a young man like him who only earned twenty or so yuan a month?
Su Yingzi had tried to trick him several times, asking about his family situation, and even about his uncles who had died in the war.
What's more, there is his third uncle's family and his grandfather's situation. At first, he thought that they were asking about the family's situation just to get to know him better.
It's obvious that he has other motives! How unlucky he is to find a spy as his first date.
"Dad, I don't understand her at all. I'm also a victim..."
Huo Li sighed and shook his head. "When the people above come over, you go and cooperate with their investigation and tell them everything you know."
"Grandpa, I really don't know much about her..."
Before Huo Wenjing could finish his words, Huo Qingci arrived with people from above. After greeting Huo Li and chatting briefly, they took Huo Wenjing's family and Su Yingzi away.
The informant Huo Qingci and the discoverer Lin Man naturally had to go with them. Huo Junshan and Huo Junheng's family only came to celebrate Huo Yian's first birthday. After being questioned, those people ignored them.
Seeing that it was getting late, Huo Li instructed Huo Qingyan, "Qingyan, your brother and sister-in-law are not at home. Go and return the two tables to the Tian and Hao families, and give them six red eggs."
Huo Junshan stood up and said, "Dad, I'll go with Qingyan!"
Huo Li nodded. "The red painted table belongs to the Tian family, and the natural wood one belongs to the Hao family."
Huo Qingyan and Huo Junshan said at the same time, "I understand."
Huo Li said to his youngest son, Huo Junheng, "It's getting late. Take your wife and children home now."
Huo Junheng said cautiously, "Dad, how about we wait here for Fourth Brother's family and Qingci and his wife to come back?"
"Don't wait. Your fourth brother and his family won't be back tonight. Qingci and Xiaoman probably won't be back for another two hours. You guys go back first. Don't you have to go to work tomorrow?"
Knowing that the old man was not easy to deal with, Du Xiaojuan would not mention leaving even if she wanted to.

Anyway, Huo Wenjing's relationship with the spy had nothing to do with them, and his family only found out about his relationship today.
The investigators from the Investigation Department have just questioned them. This matter has nothing to do with them, so they can naturally go back first.
Huo Junlin said: "How about we wait here for Qingci and the others to come back before we leave!"
"Don't wait, they won't be back for a while, you go back first."
After hearing what his father said, Huo Junlin had no choice but to take his wife and children back.
Huo Junshan and Huo Qingyan returned from the table and asked, "Grandpa, where are my uncle and the others?"
"I asked them to go back. Go to the backyard and move the table back to the living room."
"good!"
Seeing that her grandfather didn't let them leave, Ling Fei naturally didn't dare to suggest going back to rest.
She said to Xiao Ya, "Mom, An An is one year old, but he hasn't turned one yet!"
Xiao Ya and Huo Junshan then remembered that Huo Yian had not yet held the "Zhuazhou" ceremony. Seeing his son and daughter-in-law being so cautious, Huo Li said, "An An will have to hold the "Zhuazhou" ceremony when he turns one. Junshan, go to my drawer and find those badges."
Huo Li threw a key to Huo Junshan. Huo Junshan took the key and went to his father's room to get the badge.
Xiao Ya put Huo Yian into Ling Fei's arms, went back to her son's room, found a stethoscope, a pen, a brush, a notebook, a book, and a toy frog.
Huo Junshan took out a few badges, a seal, and an old-fashioned abacus from his old father's room.
Huo Qingyan moved the table and stools back to the living room, and Huo Junshan and Xiao Ya put the things they brought back on the table.
Huo Qingyan asked: "Dad, Mom, what are you doing?"
Huo Qinghuan looked at Huo Qingyan as if he were an idiot, "Second brother, today is An An's first birthday, so mom and dad are preparing these things for the "Zhuazhou" celebration."
Seeing that his parents were going to hold a one-year-old ceremony for his little nephew, Huo Qingyan hurriedly put his share of red eggs and apples back on the table.
Huo Qinghuan looked at the pile of things on the table and felt like something was missing. "Dad, where's the red envelope you gave An An? There should be another red envelope on the table. If An An grabs the red envelope, he'll definitely be very good at making money when he grows up."
Huo Junshan took out a red envelope that he had prepared long ago from his pocket and put it back on the table.
"That's enough, Xiaofei, come over with An An in your arms and let's grab the one-year-old's birthday!"
Xiao Ya said: "Let me hold An An!"
Ling Fei carefully carried Huo Yian into Xiao Ya's arms, while Liao Sijie pulled Huo Yining and slowly walked out of the room.
Everyone gathered around, waiting expectantly for Huo Yian to perform the one-year-old ceremony.
Xiao Ya was standing steadily on the table with Huo Yian in her arms. Huo Qinghuan said to Huo Yian with a smile: "
An An, it's time to start the "Zhuazhou" (grab the week) celebration! There are so many things on the table, you can take whatever you like."
Huo Yian listened with a confused look, his eyes fixed on the dazzling array of items.
When he heard the word "take", he immediately squatted down, reached out to try to grab the abacus, but gave up when he found that he couldn't lift it.
He then turned his attention to the brush beside him and held it in his hand effortlessly.
Just as Huo Junshan was about to open his mouth to praise him, Huo Yian suddenly threw away the brush, stretched out his left hand and tightly grasped the stethoscope, while his right hand also grabbed a shining badge.
Huo Qinghuan was stunned with astonishment and asked in confusion, "Grandpa, I remember that we should only grab one thing during the "Zhuazhou" ceremony, right? How come my nephew grabbed two at once?"
Huo Li smiled slightly, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes, and replied: "Haha, it seems that your big brother has a successor! With An An's choice, he will definitely become an outstanding military doctor in the future!"
At this moment, everyone realized as if they had just woken up from a dream that Huo Yian was going to follow in his father's footsteps and grow up to be a military doctor and make military achievements like his father.
