Chapter 386: Taking Huo Qinghuan to the Park for a Swim (Page 1/2)
Wen Wan's trip to the military compound to look for Lin Man was doomed to fail, because Lin Man was in the city at that time.
She is currently shopping in the department store with her youngest son and Huo Qinghuan.
To prevent the child from being taken away, Lin Man tied Huo Yian on her back with a sling, which made it easier for her to carry things.
Lin Man took Huo Qinghuan to the department store, walking up and down the stairs from the first floor to the third floor, and then from the third floor to the first floor, for about forty minutes.
Both of them were carrying bags of various sizes filled with fabrics, ready-made clothes, shoes, children's toys, snacks and other items.
Although shopping was tiring and the weather was hot, Lin Man was in a good mood because she did not meet the annoying Qiao Sitian and Mrs. Qiao today.
Finally, Lin Man took Huo Qinghuan to a Quanjude Roast Duck restaurant. The restaurant was very popular and there was a long line outside the door during dinner time.
Thinking of the roast duck she promised Ningning, Lin Man waited patiently in line until it was finally their turn. After entering the restaurant, she ordered two ducks, one to eat in the restaurant and the other to take away.
The roast duck has crispy skin and tender meat, and its aroma is so fragrant that it leaves a lingering aftertaste. She is not worried that the skin of the packed duck will become soft and affect the taste.
Because her space has an oven and a large roasting oven, she can roast the duck she bought for a few minutes at any time, so that the skin of the roast duck will still be crispy and delicious.
The weather was too hot, so after dinner, Lin Man took the bus home with them. She originally wanted to give her son a bath when she got home, but he had already fallen asleep.
Huo Qinghuan suddenly said to Lin Man, "Sister-in-law, the weather is so hot, can I go to the park to swim?"
Lin Man refused directly, "Qing Huan, not today, because I am worried about no one watching you."
Although Huo Qinghuan could already swim, Lin Man was still worried about no one watching him. What if something happened? She couldn't just leave her youngest son sleeping at home, so she went to the park with him to watch over Huo Qinghuan.
"Sister-in-law, I can swim now, and I will call for help if anything happens."
Lin Man thought, if an accident really happened, calling for help would be useless. If her brother-in-law had an accident, she would become the sinner of the Huo family.
"If you really want to swim, you have to wait for grandpa to come back. Let grandpa look after An An and Ning Ning. I will accompany you to the park."
"Oh well."
At around three o'clock, Huo Li and Huo Yining came back happily.
As soon as he entered the yard, Huo Yining ran to Lin Man and said excitedly, "Mom, I met the chief today and had dinner with him.
The commander praised me for my intelligence and told me to study hard and serve the motherland in the future. "Mom, when I grow up I want to be a soldier and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy just like my grandfather did."
Had the leader awakened the passion in his son? Did he really want to join the army when he grew up? Grandpa must have been the happiest person in the family.
Huo Li smiled and said to Lin Man, "Ningning is smart and has a good physique. She's a good candidate for the military. I can be considered to have a successor."
Lin Man's mouth twitched. Aren't Huo Qingci and Huo Qingyan human beings? One is a military doctor and the other is an air force pilot. Aren't they both soldiers?
"Ningning wants to join the army when he grows up. I will support him. Grandpa, don't worry."
"Ah~!" Huo Li sighed, "I'm not worried that you won't support Ningning in joining the army, but I'm worried that I won't be able to see Ningning join the army.
If I leave, there will be no one to help Ningning, and he will have to rely on himself to fight step by step. It is difficult to achieve great achievements after the founding of the People's Republic of China. I am worried that no one will promote Ningning, and it will be difficult for him to take a high position.
Huo Li knew very well that in times of war, as long as one was willing to fight hard and was not afraid of death, he would have the opportunity to make great military achievements and thus get a promotion and a raise.
But in peacetime, it is very difficult to make meritorious service, and even if you have made meritorious service, you may not be promoted without connections.

That's why he hopes to live another ten or twenty years so that he can take better care of Ningning and help her avoid taking detours.
Hearing Huo Li say this, Lin Man felt a little touched, but more helpless.
She knew that Huo Li truly loved Ningning, but this way of loving her was a bit suffocating.
Everyone should decide their own life, rather than have it arranged by others.
If one lives his life according to other people's plans, he will never grow up. Only by experiencing setbacks and difficulties can one become mature.
Moreover, grandpa can only help for a while, but not for a lifetime. Just like my fourth uncle and younger uncle, they obey grandpa's arrangements too much, and they have no ability, so they can only rely on dad to climb up.
If Grandpa were gone, Fourth Uncle and Younger Uncle would have little room for advancement. Lin Man still hoped her son could carve out a niche for himself.
"Grandpa, Qinghuan said she wanted to go swimming in the park. Can you help me look after An'an and Ningning? I'll take Qinghuan to the park."
Huo Li nodded, "Okay, then go ahead!"
Huo Yining hugged Lin Man's legs and said coquettishly, "Mom, I want to learn swimming too. Please take me with you!"
"Ningning, you are too young now. When you are five years old, we will teach you how to swim."
My son is a little overweight, so I can teach him to swim and exercise to help him lose weight.
"Mom, I want to go."
"Be good, play with your brother at home. Mom bought you roast duck today. We will have roast duck tonight."
Huo Yining pouted and looked unhappy because he couldn't go swimming, but when he heard that there would be roast duck for dinner, he immediately became happy again.
"Mom, I want to have Peking duck and duck bone vermicelli soup tonight."
"Okay, no problem."
After communicating with her son, Lin Man prepared to take Huo Qinghuan to the park for a swim. Originally, she didn't plan to bring a swimsuit, but then she thought about it in case they had to go into the water.
So I brought a very conservative long swimsuit, and also prepared a bath towel, glasses and a swimming cap.
When we got to the park, we found that there were a lot of people swimming, especially the elderly people living nearby and children.
Lin Man thought that since she was already here, she might as well go for a swim. For people in the apocalypse, swimming is basic knowledge. If you can't swim and fall into the water, you will definitely be eaten by the water monster. She not only can swim, but she can also dive.
Before going into the water, Lin Man insisted on helping Huo Qinghuan stretch a few times before slowly going into the water.
After entering the water, Lin Man soaked in the water comfortably, watching Huo Qinghuan swimming around in a dog-paddle style, stopping to rest after swimming about ten meters.
Lin Man couldn't help but frown, muttering to herself, "How dare you go swimming alone with your level? What if something happens? Luckily I came along today."
Huo Qinghuan finally reached Lin Man and panted, "Sister-in-law, why are you just soaking in the water? Don't you know how to swim?"
Lin Man smiled slightly and said jokingly, "If I couldn't swim, wouldn't I have sunk directly when I jumped down just now? Although the water in Beihai Park is shallow, it's still about 1.5 meters deep, right?"
"Sister-in-law, it's more than two meters deep." Huo Qinghuan explained seriously.
"Yeah, I know. Just keep swimming, I'll be watching you here." Lin Man waved her hand, signaling Huo Qinghuan to continue.
"Sister-in-law, I want to see you swim." Huo Qinghuan looked at Lin Man expectantly.
Lin Man smiled helplessly, thinking that this guy was really curious.
So she put on her swimming goggles, paddled with her hands, kicked with her legs, and like a nimble frog, she jumped out a long distance.
