Chapter 33: Three Women, One Drama (Page 1/2)
After preparing everything, Huo Qingci knocked on the door of the Xiao family. After a while, Xiao Yi ran over and opened the door.
When he opened the door, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Oh, it turns out that Qingci brought his new wife here, please come in!"
Lin Man took the initiative to greet him, "Hello, Second Uncle!"
"Good evening, Xiaolin. Please come in! I'll carry the things."
Huo Qingci handed the two fruit baskets to his second uncle without hesitation, and he took all the rest. Lin Man felt embarrassed and still took the clothes and fabrics for the elders.
Xiao Yi said politely, "You guys just came, why are you buying so many things?"
"Uncle, you're joking. This is my first time bringing my wife home. I can't come empty-handed, right?"
"You come here empty-handed, and your uncle won't say anything to you, kid?"
Not to mention my uncle and grandparents, it’s hard to say about my aunt and cousin’s wife.
If he dares to go empty-handed, his wife won't know what people will say about her.
Even if he had to spend money, he had to be polite. He had saved a lot of money over the years, so there was no need for him to do anything embarrassing.
Xiao Yi shouted in the yard, "Dad, Mom, Qingci and his wife are here to see you, come out and greet them!"
Lin Man thought Huo Qingci's second uncle was really funny. As a younger generation, they still needed the elders to come out and greet them.
Huo Jingye and his wife Yang Liu walked out. Xiao Yun, who was just about to go back to his room, also walked out holding his little granddaughter Huo Meiting.
After dinner, Xiao Yandong and Xiao Feiyue were pulled back to their rooms by their wives. Deng Qiuling, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, was busy washing clothes for them.
Xiao Yi's wife Chen Sufen was taking a bath in the backyard. His two sons were not at home as they were serving in the army. His eldest daughter was married, and his youngest daughter Huo Yunxia was so shy that she hid in her room when she saw the guests coming.
Lin Man thought this little girl was interesting. When she saw Huo Qingci's grandparents, she took the initiative to greet them, "Good evening, Grandpa and Grandma."
Huo Jingye smiled and said, "Xiao Lin, you're here!"
Yang Liu walked over to Lin Man, took her hand, and asked with concern, "How did you get here carrying so many things?"
Lin Man said without thinking: "Grandma, Qingci's leader drove us here."
Xiao Jingye asked: "Qingci, was your hospital leader sending you here?"
Huo Qingci smiled helplessly, "No, it's an acquaintance who gave me a ride when they met."
He couldn't say that the two of them walked here. How could they carry so many things?
Yang Liu took Lin Man's hand and walked inside, saying as they walked, "Come in and sit down. Have you had dinner?"
"have eaten."
"Xiao Yun, go call Yandong and the others out. By the way, tell your wife to stop washing clothes for now. Make two eggs for Qingci and his wife each. Put some brown sugar in them because Qingci likes sweet food."
Brown sugar egg custard, oh my god, Lin Man hates eating eggs like this the most.
"Grandma, we are too full tonight and can't eat anymore."
"Eat a little even if you can't eat. Grandma doesn't have anything good to treat you, just two eggs. Don't leave tonight, just stay here."
Huo Qingci immediately refused, "Grandma, I have to go back later for something. I'll bring Manman over next time when I'm free."
Regardless of whether Lin Man was willing or not, Xiao Yi put down the fruit basket and went to the kitchen to make egg soup for his nephew's wife.
After a while, Xiao Yandong and Xiao Feiyue came out of the room with their wives.
Even Xiao Yi's youngest daughter, Xiao Yunxia, was called out by Xiao Yun, and she took the initiative to greet Lin Man.
"Cousin's wife."
"Your name is Yunxia, right?"

"Hmm..." Xiao Yunxia's shy voice was as soft as a mosquito.
Seeing her lowering her head and a little hunched over, Lin Man was really worried. Why was this girl so timid? Her father seemed to be a very lively person, so she shouldn't be like this.
Lin Man stuffed all the gifts for her second aunt into her hands. "This is a return gift to your family. Take it! You can use this fabric to make a skirt. A little girl would look better in something bright."
Huo Qingci was so amused when he saw his wife talking to his little cousin so seriously, "Manman, she's your grade. You're only a few months older than her."
Lin Man was a little embarrassed. She puffed out her chest and said, "A few months older is still older. If she's younger than me, she's still a little girl."
Xiao Yunxia stared blankly at her cousin's busty body. Why were her breasts so big?
"Yunxia, take the things!"
"Thank you, cousin. Please take a seat while I take my things back to my room."
Huo Qingci placed another gift at the feet of his uncle Xiao Yun, "Uncle, this is a return gift to your family."
Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Why are you two being so polite?"
Tian Xin and Tang Yurou greeted Huo Qingci and Lin Man. One of them took the child from her father-in-law's arms, and the other hurried to prepare tea.
After giving the return gifts to his uncle and second uncle's families, Huo Qingci took out the two woolen sweaters.
"Grandpa and grandma, this is the sweater Manman prepared for you. Try it out to see if it fits you."
"It's such a waste of money to buy us such expensive sweaters. You two don't have any children yet, so save your money." Xiao Jingye said seriously.
Yang Liu nudged Xiao Jingye and said, "Old man, why are you saying this?"
"Grandpa, I will work hard to make money so that Manman and the child can live a stable life."
Lin Man understood that the elderly in the family were all like this. They liked to worry and always advised the younger generations to spend as little as possible, saying that money was hard-earned.
Lin Man also expressed her understanding. If she had no money, she would take the initiative to save. If she had a lot of money, she would be a fool not to spend it. If she didn't spend it herself, would she save it for others to spend?
I'm afraid that if I die suddenly one day, another woman will sleep with my man, inherit my property, and beat my children. If I knew this would be the outcome, I would definitely die with regrets, right?
After a while, Deng Qiuling and Chen Sufen finished their work. When they saw Lin Man coming, they enthusiastically chatted with her as if she were their own daughter.
Tian Xin and Tang Yurou also came over from time to time to interject a few words. Lin Man felt her ears buzzing. Three women were making a big show. Her aunt and cousin's wife were really good at talking.
She had just married Huo Qingci, and they were already talking about having children. Each of them seemed very experienced and spoke very clearly.
Forget about Tian Xin, the baby in Tang Yurou's belly hasn't been born yet, so how can she know how to choose the right day to give birth to a boy or a girl?
Lin Man could only nod in agreement, "You're right, I'm grateful for your advice!"
"You said it well, I will learn from you."
“You guys are amazing!”
“…”
Fortunately, Huo Qingci came over with a bowl of brown sugar syrup and eggs after a while. "Manman, eat a little. We'll go back early after that."
Lin Man hates eggs in brown sugar water, but her grandparents would definitely feel uncomfortable if she didn't eat them.
Huo Qingci knew that Lin Man couldn't eat much, so he let her eat one egg and he helped her finish the rest.
Seeing that her grandson didn't mind his wife's saliva at all, Yang Liu smiled.
Her grandson's mysophobia was cured. When he was a child, if someone took a bite of his apple, he would definitely give the whole apple to the other person.
At first they thought Huo Qingci was generous, but later they found out that he was a mysophobe and even disliked things that his parents had bitten.
