Chapter 265: Fishing with Grandpa (Page 1/2)
Huo Qingci put down his fishing rod, stood up, washed a plate of strawberries and placed it on the instant noodle box next to his grandfather.
"Grandpa, eat some strawberries."
Huo Li picked up a bright red strawberry, took a bite, and said, "This strawberry is delicious, even better than the prickly ash strawberries on the roadside."
"It's delicious, eat more."
"Pick some for An An and Ning Ning to taste later."
"Grandpa, Qinghuan is here so it's not easy to take the strawberries out, but An'an and Ningning went back to their rooms and I gave them some strawberries."
"You have so much fruit in your space, take some apples and pears out and bring some for Qinghuan to eat at school.
Most of the delicious food your parents and your second brother bought went into Lingfei's stomach. Huanhuan is in the growth stage and is most likely to get hungry.
Huo Qingci knew very well that boys' appetites would increase greatly as they grew, and they would often feel hungry and could eat several bowls of rice at every meal.
At this moment, China's material resources are still relatively scarce. If the family buys some fruits and snacks, they will naturally give priority to taking care of pregnant women. Therefore, the younger brother may indeed be neglected at home.
Huo Qingci responded readily, "Okay, Grandpa, I'll get some apples and rock sugar oranges for him to take home and try."
"Liao Sijie has already married into the Lin family, so let Qinghuan move in next year. That way, you and Xiaoman can take Qinghuan home with you after get off work.
The two little ones can just sit in the front of the bike, and you and Xiaoman can each carry one. Qinghuan can sit on the back seat of your bike.
If you need to work the night shift, leave the bicycle to Qinghuan and let him take Ningning to the nursery."
Huo Qingci had no objection to letting his younger brother live in his home. After all, supporting one more person was just a trivial matter to him.
Moreover, my younger brother has always been well-behaved and obedient. If he moves in, he will not only be able to help a lot, but he can also handle everything easily and with ease, whether it is taking care of the children or cleaning.
"I need to ask Qing Huan about this. If he wants to come, then let him come. But I don't know if Ling Fei would have any objection to him moving in, after all, she's pregnant with two babies at once.
If Qing Huan is at home, and her child is well, she can still take over."
"Ling Fei is impatient and has a bad temper. She gave birth to two children and has no patience to take care of them. If Huanhuan stayed at home, she would definitely be yelled at every day.
We can't let him suffer at home, so we'd better ask him to come and live with us. If Ling Fei wants to lose her temper, let her do it herself. If she wants to cry, let her cry while holding the child.
Didn't Qingyan want to ask Liao Sijie to help take care of the children during the day? I think Liao Sijie is also very grateful to your brother for helping her with the matchmaking, and she will definitely take the initiative to help. "
"Grandpa, Sijie and Lin Jing will register before the New Year. They are already living together now, so she might get pregnant soon. If she gets pregnant, how will she help Qingyan take care of the child?"
"Your brother wants Liao Sijie to take care of Ling Fei, the pregnant woman. As for the matter of having children, he hasn't thought about it that much for the time being.
There are so many women in the military compound who don't work, your brother might ask them to help take care of the children during the day. He definitely wouldn't dare hire a live-in nanny, and if he does, he usually won't tell them about it."
Huo Qingci didn't say anything. This was his brother's own business. At least his brother was luckier than him. He lived with his parents, and his parents would definitely help him take care of the children.
Seeing the float moving, Huo Li gently lifted the fishing rod, only to find that the bait on the hook was gone. Seeing this, Huo Qingci hurriedly stood up.
"Grandpa, don't move. Let me help you put the bait on."
"My son will catch the bait."

"Grandpa, you are eating strawberries, don't get your hands dirty."
Huo Li smiled. It was not in vain that he loved his eldest grandson. He was indeed the most caring one.
"Okay, you hang the bait and I'll continue eating strawberries."
Huo Qingci had just put the bait on and cast the hook out, but within a minute the float on his fishing rod began to sink.
"Qingci, there's a fish, there's a fish! There's a fish biting your fishing rod."
Huo Li stood up excitedly, and Huo Qingci hurried to pull his fishing rod. When he pulled it up, there was really a fish. He quickly turned the fishing reel and pulled the fishing rod upwards. A big carp weighing more than two kilograms was thrown out of the water.
"Qingci, it's a carp. Carp leaps over the dragon gate. My grandson Kaishang caught a carp. He will surely be promoted next year."
Huo Qingci smiled and said, "Thank you for your good words, Grandpa."
After saying that, he quickly took the carp off the hook. Just as he put the carp into the bucket, he found that there was movement on his grandfather's fishing rod.
"Grandpa, it's moving, your fishing rod is moving."
Huo Li, with his sharp eyes and deft technique, barely moved the line before quickly grabbing the rod and swung it towards the shore. To his surprise, he actually caught a crucian carp the width of his palm!
Huo Lixi stared at the small crucian carp in his bucket with a smile on his face, muttering to himself:
"If we can catch a few more crucian carp, we can stew them with the tender lamb legs to make a delicious fish and lamb dish.
Hmm... This is really strange. There are clearly turtles in this pond, so why can't I catch any?"
Huo Qingci smiled and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, I've placed a trap on the other side. I'll go over and see if there are any turtles in the trap later.
Soft-shelled turtle can be stewed not only with chicken but also with duck."
Huo Li nodded slightly in agreement. "Okay, if Liao Sijie doesn't come home tomorrow, then call Qinghuan back. We'll have braised duck and turtle tomorrow night."
Huo Qingci would naturally do his best to satisfy his grandfather's preferences. After all, his grandfather had lived a hard life for decades, and now that he was old, why not let him enjoy delicious food?
The reason why people work hard is simply to give their families a better life, to eat what they want and wear what they want.
Huo Qingci took his grandfather fishing in the space, Lin Man knitted a sweater for her youngest son around the stove, and Huo Qinghuan memorized the review materials while roasting by the fire and eating snacks.
Every half an hour, she would go to the room to see if her little son had woken up. Lin Man went to check on him several times, but the little guy would sleep until five o'clock before waking up.
Lin Man changed his diaper and carried him out. Huo Qingci also came out of the room with his grandfather.
Huo Qingci said, "Manman, I'm going to cook. Do you want some crucian carp soup?"
"It will be all right."
Huo Qinghuan muttered, "Aren't we having stewed lamb tonight?"
Huo Qingci glanced at Huo Qinghuan and said, "Don't worry, we'll have braised mutton and radish, and we'll also have a fish and mutton dish and stir-fried vegetables."
"Brother, let me go to the kitchen and help you light the fire!"
Huo Qingci directly shook his head and refused, "No, you continue to review."
The boy followed him and wanted to take out the fish he and his grandfather had caught from the space. He also wanted to take out some fruits from the space later.
Lin Man said: "I'll go back to the kitchen to help you!"
Huo Qingci smiled and nodded, saying yes. Huo Li said, "Xiao Man, I'll look after An An. You and Qingci go cook."
"Okay, Grandpa."
