Chapter 409: She is waiting for her birth at her parents' home (Page 1/2)
She didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. It would be great if her son-in-law liked her daughter so much.
I hope my daughter can have a boy this time. As for the relationship between her and her son-in-law, they will cultivate it slowly in the future.
Xiao Ya returned home and told Huo Junshan about Song Jingjing's situation. Huo Junshan thought that he should ask his father about this matter to see what he would say.
"Xiaoya, the Song family may seem easy to talk to, but they may not really be. I think I should talk to Dad and see what he says."
"Well, I really need to discuss this with Dad, and also talk to Qingci and Xiaoman."
"I'll go back for dinner tomorrow. Didn't you make new cotton shoes for An An and Ning Ning? You can give them to them for the New Year."
"Ningning has a high instep, so I don't know if the shoes will be too tight. An'an's shoes are a bit too big, so I don't know if they will fit.
There is mutton for sale in the market now. Let’s buy some for them tomorrow to keep them warm.”
"Did you go and see what Xiao Song bought?"
"Three pounds of brown sugar, two cans of malted milk, a bag of fruit, a can of biscuits, two pounds of donkey-hide gelatin, and some base clothes, sweaters, and blankets for the children."
"Well, preparing so many things is indeed enough. When Xiao Song gives birth, I will buy two more chickens and a few bags of milk powder. I will go to Qingci to see if he can get the milk powder tickets."
"We're going back to see Dad tomorrow, but we don't know where he'll be spending the New Year this year.
The courtyard house is indeed large enough, but since we're only staying for two days, it's not very convenient for everyone to run around."
"Yes, it is indeed inconvenient. It is indeed lively when the whole family is together for the New Year, but it costs a lot of money. I don't know if it was Dad who paid for it or Qingci who paid for it."
Xiao Ya rolled her eyes at Huo Junshan. "Whether it's Dad's or Qingci's money, isn't it all money? Dad divided the family property last year. We shouldn't be having New Year's dinner together this year, right?"
"That's not necessarily true. Dad usually likes quietness, but he still likes the hustle and bustle during the New Year. Let's go back tomorrow and see what he says!"
The next evening, Huo Junshan and Xiao Ya took Huo Qinghuan with a lot of luggage to visit his father and two grandsons.
Lin Man didn't expect them to come, so she only cooked a small pot of rice and made two dishes and a soup.
Seeing my parents-in-law coming, I quickly ran to the kitchen, added two more dishes, and cooked a pot of three-fresh noodles.
Huo Li asked Huo Junshan: "Why are you here? Hasn't Xiao Song returned from her parents' home yet?"
Huo Junshan picked up his chopsticks and picked up a bowl of noodles for his father. Putting down his bowl and chopsticks, he smiled and said, "Dad, we came here today to talk to you about Xiao Song."
"What's wrong with her? Isn't her due date approaching? Why haven't you brought her back yet?"
"Xiao Ya has visited her several times, but she has been afraid to come back because of Ling Fei's matter. Xiao Ya went to visit her again yesterday to buy some things.
The Song family decided to let Song Jingjing give birth in the city and bring the child back when her vacation is over.
Huo Li frowned, "If Qingyan is not here, she will have to stay at her parents' home to give birth. In the future, outsiders will definitely say that our Huo family treats her poorly."
Huo Junshan agreed, "We thought so too. We originally planned to let Xiaoya take a six-month leave to take care of the child. When the child is older, we will find someone to replace Xiaoya."
Huo Junshan knew that the Song family would not let their daughter quit her job, otherwise she would not be able to receive a pension when she got old.
Besides, Song Jingjing's job was very easy, so they certainly didn't want her to resign.
Since Song Jingjing will not resign, they can just help her find someone to take care of the child. Anyway, her son has gone abroad, and the organization will definitely agree to find someone to help take care of the child.
Huo Li asked Huo Junshan, "What did the Song family say? Xiaoya said she helped take care of the child for six months. Didn't they say anything?"
Huo Li looked at Xiao Ya after he finished speaking. Xiao Ya put down her chopsticks and said slowly:

"Dad, Jingjing wants to stay at her parents' house. My in-laws want me to either quit my job and help them take care of the child, or let Jingjing stay at her parents' house and send her to me when she's six months old.
I thought that since I have to take care of my child for six months, I might as well hire someone to take care of him during the day and I can take care of him at night. This way I won’t have to take sick leave for six months.”
Huo Li added, "No mother-in-law wouldn't take care of her grandchildren. I'm just worried that you won't take care of the second son's child. If the Song family has an opinion, Qingyan will have one too."
Xiao Ya nodded, "I know, so I told them that I took care of Ningning for half a year when Xiao Man gave birth, and I can also take care of Jingjing for half a year.
Since they didn't want to, I compensated her with 200 yuan, as if it were hiring a nanny to take care of the child for half a year. As for the red envelope, we'll talk about it after the baby is born."
Lin Man was busy feeding her youngest son and didn't participate in the discussion at all. After all, how her father-in-law and mother-in-law made their decisions was their own business and had nothing to do with her.
She has made up her mind not to rely on her mother-in-law anymore. Next time she gives birth to her third child, she will definitely not ask her mother-in-law to take care of her during the confinement period.
Money makes the world go round. As long as you have money, nothing is a problem. She planned to wait until she gave birth to her third child. She asked Huo Qing to resign from the hospital and find a professional nurse to take care of her during the confinement period.
This way, she can receive better care and avoid possible family conflicts.
Huo Li looked at Xiao Ya and asked, "Doesn't Jingjing have any objections to your decision? Does the Song family have any strong reaction to this?"
Xiao Ya replied, "Dad, the Song family is relatively understanding. Perhaps because they have fewer family members, they hope their daughter can add some liveliness to the family home. Besides, Jingjing not giving birth at home shouldn't have a big impact on her brother's fortune."
Huo Li pondered for a moment and said, "Since the Song family has made such a decision, let's respect their wishes.
However, when Xiao Song gives birth, you must go to the hospital to take care of her. In addition, you must also try to make time to visit the Song family."
Xiao Ya nodded in agreement and responded, "Okay, Dad, I understand what to do."
After dinner, Huo Qingci poured a cup of hot tea for his parents and grandfather, and everyone sat down around the fireplace.
Huo Junshan said, "The Chinese New Year is less than a month away. Dad, where are we going to celebrate this year? Will we all still celebrate together?"
"We're still going to the city to celebrate the New Year this year. Since we took Qingci to visit the old leader last year, we'll take him there again this year to show him around."
When Huo Yining heard the word "old leader", he said excitedly: "Grandpa, you took me to have dinner with the old leader before, and I also wished him a happy new year during the New Year."
Huo Li nodded, "Okay, okay, Ningning knows how to pay New Year's greetings to the old leader. I'll take you and your dad with me during the New Year."
Lin Man looked at Huo Qinghuan and said, "Grandpa, take Qinghuan out to see the world during the New Year. He's grown up now."
Huo Qingci nodded when he heard Lin Man say that. "Yes, Grandpa, take Qinghuan to see the world. We should prepare some more local specialties this year and give some to the others as well."
Huo Li looked at Huo Qinghuan and said, "Qinghuan, do you want to go with grandpa to wish them a happy new year?"
Huo Qinghuan looked at his father and nodded, "I've never met the commander-in-chief. I want to know what it's like to shake his hand."
Huo Li laughed and said, "You are useless. After all, I am your grandfather, a lieutenant general. Come and shake my hand and see how it feels."
Huo Qing chuckled, "Grandpa, he's the senior commander. You and I see him every day, but I've only seen the senior commander on TV."
"Okay, okay, I won't say any more. I'll take you there during the Chinese New Year this year."
