Chapter 416: What is Love Brain? (Page 1/2)
Soon it was the day of the Little New Year. Huo Qingci took a day off. In the morning he slaughtered a pig in the space, and in the evening he invited his parents, aunt, uncle, fourth uncle and younger uncle's family to dinner.
As soon as Yang Huiling arrived, she went to complain to Huo Li, "Dad, my son Wen Jing will be 22 after the Chinese New Year. Isn't it a bit late for him to find a partner?"
Huo Li said unhappily, "Qingci got married at 24, how can it be too late? Wenjing is learning to drive with his master now. After another year or so, I'll arrange for him to drive for Chief of Staff He when the time is right."
"Dad, driving won't affect his search for a partner. Isn't it almost Chinese New Year? Let him find a partner first, right?"
"Have you forgotten about the spy Su Yingzi? You forgot, but the people in the army still remember her. You have to let Wen Jing do something so that others will trust him.
When he gets to be with Chief of Staff He, are you still worried that he won't be able to find a good partner?"
Du Xiaojuan, standing by, echoed, "Fourth sister-in-law, your Wenjing won't be twenty-two until next summer. There's no rush to start dating after he's twenty-two. Good things never come late, so what are you afraid of?"
Yang Huiling glanced at Du Xiaojuan. This flatterer was anxious herself.
"Sister-in-law, your Huo Xi is a few months younger than my Wen Jing. Is he dating someone?"
Du Xiaojuan said calmly, "He negotiated it himself, so it's hard to say whether it will work out."
Huo Li looked at Du Xiaojuan and asked, "Where is Huo Xi's partner from?"
"A nurse from Qingci Hospital took the initiative to pursue our Huo Xi."
Huo Li continued to ask: "Which department is this nurse from? What's her name?"
"Rehabilitation Department, my name is Luo Can."
When Huo Li heard the name, his face immediately darkened. "No, I object. This Luo Can is absolutely not acceptable."
Huo Qingci and Lin Man were both stunned. Luo Can was dating Huo Xi. How did they know each other?
Du Xiaojuan was puzzled as to why her father-in-law objected as soon as he heard the name. Could it be that Luo Can was also a traitor?
Huo Xi came over and asked Huo Li, "Grandpa, why can't I marry Luo Can? She's a nurse."
Seeing that there were no outsiders at home, Huo Li said directly: "That girl has ulterior motives. She had feelings for Qing Ci from the beginning, so I asked someone to transfer her to the rehabilitation department. How did you know her?"
Huo Xi said with a look of shock: "Grandpa, you said Luo Can has feelings for Big Brother, how is that possible?"
Du Xiaojuan's face turned extremely ugly. That Luo Can really had feelings for her nephew? Her nephew already had a wife and children, but she still had feelings for him?
Her son must not marry such a lesbian with evil intentions, as marrying her would only destroy the unity of the family.
Yang Huiling was originally worried about her son's marriage. When she thought that Huo Xi's girlfriend liked her eldest nephew Huo Qingci, she was glad that her father-in-law had restricted her son's freedom of love before. At least her son didn't have a random date.
My father-in-law is right. Once my son is transferred to Staff Officer He and starts driving for him, it will be easy for him to find a partner. It’s better to delay the marriage by a year or two!
It's better than him finding a random lesbian and ruining his life.
Yang Huiling said to Huo Li flatteringly, "Dad, then my son Wen Jing should wait another year and find a partner when he has a stable job."
Huo Li nodded. "Well, Wen Jing needs to learn more and gain more experience. He needs to follow the leader and learn how to speak and act."
Huo Wenjing, who had been silent the whole time, said, "Grandpa, I understand. I really need to learn how to behave in society."
Du Xiaojuan was anxious, "Dad, what should I do about Huo Xi?"
"We've split it up, so why keep it for the New Year?"
Du Xiaojuan looked depressed. She had originally planned to have the two families sit down and discuss the betrothal gift in a couple of days, but her father-in-law's words ruined her son's marriage.
Lin Man raised her eyes and looked at Huo Qingci. Huo Qingci touched his nose awkwardly. It was not his fault. It was not him who provoked Luo Can.
Grandpa told this to Huo Xi. If he still wants to marry Luo Can, he must be mentally ill.
Huo Li said to Huo Xi, "Xiao Xi, Luo Can is not a good woman. I don't care how you met. I am against this marriage."
"Grandpa, Luo Can told me before that she has never been in a relationship. How could she possibly like Big Brother? Besides, Big Brother is so old and has two children."
Huo Li frowned. "Your eldest brother is very outstanding, so it's normal for them to like him. I transferred her to another department because I noticed something was wrong. You don't work in the hospital, so how do you know her?"
"My grandma was hospitalized some time ago, and I went to the hospital to bring her food, and that's how I got to know her. She's very talkative and very kind to my grandma."
"Did you tell her that your eldest brother works in the hospital?"
Huo Xi nodded embarrassedly, "Well, I said that my eldest brother works in the hospital and was promoted to deputy director at a young age."
"She asked me who my older brother was. I told her his name, and then she started pursuing me."
Du Xiaojuan didn't expect that this was the reason why Luo Can pursued her son. If she had known this, she would definitely not agree at first.
"Xiao Xi, if that's the case, don't date Luo Can anymore. Didn't you hear your grandfather say that she used to work in the same department as your eldest brother? Because she had bad intentions, your grandfather transferred her to the rehabilitation department."
Huo Xi was very distressed. He finally found a girlfriend who was a nurse, but it turned out that she had liked his eldest cousin before.
The purpose of being with him now might be to see his eldest cousin. His eldest cousin is almost thirty years old and has two sons. Is Luo Can blind?
No wonder after she knew his identity, she started to show her affection to his grandmother and took the initiative to pursue him.
Although Huo Xi was angry, he still couldn't believe that Luo Can would like his eldest cousin. Regardless of whether they broke up or not, he wanted to ask Luo Can in person who she liked and whether she had really liked her eldest cousin before.
"Grandpa, we've just started dating, and if we break up right away, what will others say?"
When Lin Man heard Huo Xi say this, she knew that Huo Xi was as love-brained as Huo Qingyan and was easily infatuated.
Seeing Huo Xi's stubbornness, Huo Li angrily said, "Xiao Xi, do you think you're so good that people might actually like you?"
"Grandpa, you misunderstood. I just want to know why she is so nice to my grandmother and why she wants to date me."
"What answer do you want to know? Didn't I just tell you? If you question her now, she will definitely not admit it.
Xiaoxi, your second brother has been married and divorced once, and I don't want you to follow in his footsteps."
Everyone thought of Ling Fei who had died early, and Huo Junheng advised, "Son, your grandfather is thinking about you, he would never lie to you.
Go ask Comrade Xiao Luo, she definitely won't tell you the truth. Just listen to our advice and break up with Luo Can. You can take your time finding a partner next year."
Huo Junheng understood that the reason his son wanted to ask Luo Can was because it was the first time he was actively pursued by a lesbian, which was different from a blind date.

They had just started dating and were enjoying each other's affection when their elders suddenly asked them to break up. His son certainly couldn't accept it all at once.
Seeing Huo Xi remained silent, Huo Li said coldly, "Go ahead and ask if you want! If you really want to marry Luo Can, then marry him. Just don't regret it later."
Seeing his father angry, Huo Junheng coaxed him, "Dad, don't be angry. Xiaoxi is ignorant and I will go back and tell him."
At this moment, Huo Junshan, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly spoke up, "Alright, stop arguing. Today is the Little New Year! Let's talk about Wen Jing and Xiao Xi finding a partner later. It's getting late now, so hurry up and set the table and get ready for dinner."
Huo Li, who was sitting on a chair, said, "Everyone, don't be so sad. Today is a festive day and we should be happy.
Junlin and Junheng both successfully moved to new positions this year and were even promoted to a higher level. Our Qingci was also successfully promoted to deputy director. These are all happy events worth celebrating!"
Hearing this, Huo Junlin couldn't help but nod in agreement and said, "Yes, Dad is right. I hope that next year we can all move up to a higher level, get promoted and get a raise, and have a bright future." His face was filled with joy, and he seemed to be full of expectations for the future.
Huo Junheng continued, "That's right. Our Huo family's descendants will surely become more and more outstanding, have a bright future, and bring honor to our family."
When the food was served, Huo Junheng raised his glass to toast Huo Qingci, "Qingci, you are the most outstanding descendant of the Huo family. You have been promoted to deputy director before you are thirty. Wen Jing and Xiao Xi should learn from you."
Huo Qingci raised the corner of his mouth slightly, raised his glass and clinked it with Huo Junheng, took a sip, and then said with a smile: "Congratulations on your promotion, uncle. I also want to learn from my fourth uncle and my younger uncle."
Huo Junlin's eyes flashed with relief when he heard this. He looked at Huo Qingci with a smile and said in a somewhat intimate tone, "Come, Fourth Uncle will have a drink with you too. Qingci has a bright future. Please help our Wen Jing more in the future."
Huo Junlin's words were not polite, but meant sincerely.
He knew very well that although his nephew's rapid promotion was inseparable from the old man's promotion, it would be impossible for him to get promoted if he did not have real ability.
Moreover, his nephew's medical skills are well-known. Both the Air Force Hospital and the Army General Hospital have high praise for the young Huo Yidao.
Yang Huiling and Du Xiaojuan looked at each other, and both felt a little uncomfortable.
They are all sons, but why do their sons seem so disappointing, like useless pieces of mud that cannot be helped.
Not only are they simple-minded and undeveloped in their emotions, but they are also easily exploited by others.
Not only that, their careers are always mediocre. If it weren't for the help of their families, they would probably find it difficult to find a job.
Lin Man couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She felt that the men in the Huo family seemed to be easily emotional and lacked proper judgment.
If he had not been born into a wealthy family like the Huo family, it would probably be very difficult for him to even make a living in an ordinary family.
The couple Huo Junmo and He Zhongkang remained silent and did not express any opinions.
Their eldest son He Zerui is one year younger than Huo Wenjing and Huo Xi, and their second son He Zetao is four years younger than them.
As for their second son's marriage, they think it is too early, but they will be cautious about their eldest son's marriage and will never let their children follow in the footsteps of their nephews.
After the relatives left, Lin Man teased Huo Qingci, "Your brothers are all a bit love-brained!"
"What is love brain?"
"It's easy to be emotional and not think..."
Huo Qingci suddenly approached Lin Man and whispered, "Manman, I might be a little too romantic. Anyway, when it comes to you, I tend to lose my composure and lack thinking."
Lin Man clicked her tongue twice, then shook her head with a smile, "You're kidding! If you're obsessed with love, then all men are."
Lin Man admitted that Huo Qingci treated her well. She didn't believe he was just in love. At least he didn't blindly listen to her opinions. Whatever she said was the truth.
Huo Qingci pulled Lin Man back to the room, took out a bag of money from his space and handed it to Lin Man, "Here are 31,500 yuan, take it."
"Did you sell so much this time? You're amazing! Your classmates don't doubt you, do they?"
"He doesn't know where I got all this stuff. He thinks I'm just making some money from the commission. We save tens of thousands every year and save more for our daughter's dowry. That way, no one will dare to bully her in the future."
Lin Man took the bag with a smile, "I took the pregnancy pills, I will only be pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl. You can't just care about your daughter, you have to care about your son too."
Huo Qingci nodded, "Well, I will treat my three sons equally, but my daughter will suffer if she gets married, so I will treat her twice as well."
"Haha, aren't you afraid that your daughter will be bullied after she gets married?"
"Manman, are you planning to let your daughter stay at home? I think so too."
"No, I don't plan to keep my son or daughter at home. My son will move out after he gets married. Do you want to live with them?"
Huo Qingci shook his head and agreed, "We won't live with them. We can just live our own lives behind closed doors. Ten fingers have different lengths. Who can truly treat everyone equally?
If there are more sons living together, there will be more conflicts. If there are several daughters-in-law, it will be bad if they quarrel every day over trivial matters."
Lin Man thought so too, although they tried to treat everyone equally.
But when the children grow up and get married, if one of the daughters-in-law sows discord, they will definitely have a rift with that son.
No matter family affection or love, they cannot withstand the passage of time. If you don’t maintain the relationship well, it will fade away one day.
Since we don't live under the same roof, there will naturally be fewer conflicts without comparison. As the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind. If you can't see the troubles, you naturally won't have any troubles.
"Qingci, go back to your space and pick twenty cabbages. I plan to make some spicy cabbage tomorrow. Also, chop some Chinese mustard greens so I can make some sauerkraut."
"Do you want mustard greens and baby greens?"
"Chop some too! And white radish, I need to chop a sack full of it. I want to make dried radish."
Xiaozhi said that she probably wouldn't have morning sickness this time. Lin Man still wanted to make some sauerkraut as a backup so that she could have some when she wanted to eat it.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and she doesn’t have time to make fermented tofu and soybean paste this year, and she doesn’t plan to make them either.
The next day, Huo Xi went to the hospital to find Luo Can. When Luo Can saw him coming, he thought that the date for the bride price had been set.
"Huo Xi, why are you here?"
"Luo Can, let me ask you, did you like my eldest cousin before?"
Luo Can's eyes flashed and he waved his hand, "That's not true. Who are you listening to? They are talking nonsense."
"I heard it from my grandfather, could it be false?"
