Chapter 241 Taking the Children to School (Page 1/2)
Lin Man lay in Huo Qingci's arms and said, "We shouldn't interfere with Ling Fei's pregnancy, and you shouldn't check her pulse to tell her the gender of the baby.
You also know that your brother likes sons, it would be bad if the pulse showed it was a girl."
"It's not me who decides whether Ling Fei will have a boy or a girl. My brother planted the seed, so the source must be him. I just feel sorry for my mother for having a daughter-in-law who can't do anything."
Lin Man smiled awkwardly, "Maybe she's still young and doesn't understand. It will be fine when she becomes a mother herself."
Huo Qingci seemed to have thought of something, and said with some relief: "Fortunately, we don't have to live with them, otherwise you and my mother would have to help her with her confinement."
"How could I possibly take care of her during her confinement? Even though Ling Fei's mother doesn't like her, doesn't her aunt dote on her?"
Isn't her sensitive and reckless personality the result of being the eternal second child in her own family and the pampered little princess in her grandmother's house?
It’s hard for her to say whether Ling Fei has any problems as a person, but her carefree and impatient personality can easily make people angry.
If you live with her for a long time, there will definitely be conflicts. The fact that the mother-in-law gets along well with her shows that she has a good temper and tolerates her.
If she were like that, she would definitely not be able to help herself. Don't say that she is straightforward and kind-hearted. To put it bluntly, she is just stupid.
In fact, it is quite annoying to have a simple mind. They have no sense of boundaries and speak without restraint. It is easy to get angry to the point of vomiting blood when dealing with such people.
If it weren't for taking care of their grandfather, Lin Man and Huo Qingci would have planned for their family of four to live separately.
In this way, they can eat whatever they want, do whatever they want, and do everything freely without outsiders around.
As a result, even though they have a lot of treasures in their space, they dare not take them out and use them. If they occasionally take out some delicious fish and meat, they have to avoid outsiders.
But grandpa is so good to Huo Qingci, so it is his duty to take care of him. No matter what, their family has had a three-story courtyard since Shaobai.
Thinking of Ling Fei, Lin Man thought of Tietou Liao Sijie, "Huo Qingci, your cousin didn't come home tonight, do you want to tell your mother?"
"Well, when Sijie comes back tomorrow, I'm going to have a good talk with her. If she's really that anxious to get married, then let her get married before the New Year!
If my aunt can't come back, let the Liao family marry her off, and we'll just have to give her some dowry."
"After all, she helped take care of the children for two or three years. Since my aunt is not around, we can give her two quilts."
Lin Man also didn't want to give people a handle to gossip about her because of some trivial matter. If Liao Sijie was a stranger, she would definitely not need to add any dowry.
Asking close relatives to help take care of the child is just like that. If they don't add any dowry to Liao Si's wedding, outsiders will definitely say that someone has helped a relative take care of the child for so many years, and now someone is getting married, and the relative is reluctant to give any money, so the child has been taken care of for nothing.
This is also why big bosses in later generations do not like to hire relatives and friends when hiring people to do work.
Because if you invite relatives and friends, they may not do a good job, but may say that you are taking advantage of them.
If possible, Lin Man would of course prefer to ask someone else to help take care of the children, and pay them the salary they deserve without having to increase it based on favors.
In the end, she still owed Liao Sijie a favor. She helped raise both of their sons, and this would be remembered for the rest of her life.
The next morning, Lin Man looked out the door, feeling a little worried. Liao Sijie really didn't come back all night and hasn't returned yet. She has to go back to school. What will happen to the two children?
Finally, she decided to entrust her youngest son Huo Yian to the care of his grandfather, and took her older son Huo Yining to school.
On the way to school, Lin Man pedaled her bicycle and said to her son:
"Ningning, your cousin didn't come home last night. Your great-grandfather is old and can't take care of too many children. So, you should go to school with your mother today."

Hearing his mother's words, Huo Yining blinked and replied in confusion: "But, Mom, I'm still very young and can't read."
Lin Man smiled gently and comforted him, "It's okay, baby, Mommy doesn't want you to study.
Don’t you like to scribble on paper with crayons? You can sit in the classroom and draw. After class, mom will take you to play shuttlecock, okay?
Huo Yining thought about it and thought it was a good idea, so he nodded in agreement.
Lin Man thought that there were also some teachers in their school who would leave their children in the classroom and take classes with other students because there was no one to take care of them.
And she doesn't take her children to school every day, she just does it occasionally, which is no big deal.
When they arrived at the school, Gao Pengfei saw Lin Man walking towards him with a chubby, strong and cute little boy. A smile appeared on his face and he asked curiously, "Teacher Lin, is this your son?"
"Yes, Mr. Gao."
Lin Man replied with a smile, and at the same time gently nudged Huo Yining, encouraging him to say hello to Gao Pengfei, "Ningning, say hello to Teacher Gao!"
Huo Yining called out very obediently, "Hello, Teacher Gao!"
Gao Pengfei looked at Huo Yining with a smile on his face and couldn't help but admire him: "Teacher Lin, your son has a really handsome face, white and chubby, just like a New Year picture doll!"
Hearing Gao Pengfei praising his son's good looks, Lin Man was naturally delighted and quickly responded, "Teacher Gao, you're too kind! Your daughter Tingting is also very beautiful."
Gao Pengfei smiled slightly and did not continue the previous topic. Instead, he asked curiously, "Teacher Lin, why did you bring your child to school today?"
Lin Man explained, "My cousin had some things to take care of, and Grandpa couldn't take care of two children alone, so I brought him here and will send him back at noon."
Gao Pengfei nodded in understanding after hearing this. He then suggested, "How about this? Let your son go play with my daughter."
Lin Man was tempted to agree, but then she remembered that Gao Pengfei's wife was pregnant, so it would be better not to disturb Yang Tao and her daughter.
Moreover, her son is quite strong, and it would be bad if he accidentally bumped into Yang Tao while fighting with Gao Tingting for something.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Man declined politely: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Gao, but I won't bother you."
Moreover, she would feel very uneasy if her son was not with her. Only when she had her son by her side could she feel a little more at ease.
Anyway, there was an extra, tattered desk in the classroom, and she could just move it near the podium.
Then she gave her son a drawing book and a box of crayons so he could draw whatever he wanted in the book.
"Teacher Gao, there's really no need to go to so much trouble. Just let him draw by himself in the classroom."
After seeing Lin Man refuse, Gao Pengfei did not continue to persuade her. Instead, he smiled and said, "Then I'll go to class."
Lin Man took Huo Yining to the office first, and the teachers were shocked when they saw this:
"Hey, Teacher Lin, this is your son. What's his name?"
"Teacher Lin, why is your son so fat? What does he usually eat to grow up?"
"Teacher Lin, your son's skin is as fair as yours, and his facial features are also very good-looking, but he's a little fat..."
“…”
Everyone was talking at once, and Lin Man didn't know how to respond.
