Chapter 431: Two Funny People (Page 1/2)
Huo Qinghuan was on summer vacation and came to play with Huo Yining. He found that Xiao Hua was sleeping in his bed. He ran to Lin Man to complain, "Sister-in-law, the nanny hired by my second sister-in-law's family sleeps in my room with my second sister-in-law, so I can only sleep in the living room.
Now you don’t even have a place to sleep in the living room, and I don’t even have a place to sleep in the living room now.”
Lin Man smiled and said, "Grandpa said that as long as you sleep well, he will let you sleep in half of the bed."
"Will you let me sleep with Grandpa? I'm afraid I'll crush him."
"What should we do? I want to give birth to a child during the National Day holiday, and Xiaohua wants to live at home."
Huo Qinghuan was also a little worried. He had to squeeze with his grandfather in such hot weather. He was afraid that he would fall asleep at night and put his legs on his grandfather.
"It would be nice if we could go back to the courtyard and live there, each with a room."
"Next week you can go back to the courtyard with Grandpa and stay for a while. By then the grapes, pomegranates, and kiwis will probably be ripe. Grandpa will take his men to pick the fruit."
"Sister-in-law, aren't you going over?"
"I don't want to go. If I go, all the kids will go too, Xiao Hua will also go, and your brother will be left alone at home. If I'm not at home, your brother won't be able to work with peace of mind."
Huo Qinghuan looked at Lin Man's big belly, smiled and nodded, "Well, if you go to live in the city, my brother will definitely worry about you. I will go to the city with grandpa to live for a few days in a few days. Anyway, I can cook, wash clothes and keep clean."
Although Huo Qinghuan wanted to sleep in a bed alone, he knew that it was impossible with the nanny at home. It seemed that he could only sleep with his grandfather tonight.
Xiao Hua held Huo Yian in her arms and walked over to Lin Man and said, "Auntie, An An peed his pants."
"Could you please change it for him?"
"Auntie, I'm going back to the room to get his pants and put them here."
Huo Qinghuan looked at Lin Man with a smile, "Sister-in-law, she calls you auntie. I see she's not young anymore, why would she call you auntie?"
"My parents are only in their early thirties, so what's wrong with calling me auntie?"
Huo Qinghuan laughed and teased, "If she calls you aunt, does she have to call me uncle?"
"He's the same age as you, how dare you let him call you uncle?"
"But I'm of the same generation as you. If she calls you aunt, she must call me uncle."
"Then let her call you uncle!"
"Sister-in-law, what's her name?"
"Xiao Hua."
"Xiaohua's name is really funny. It sounds like school beauty, but also a bit like a joke."
"Okay, stop making fun of people's names."
"Sorry, sister-in-law."
At this time, Xiao Hua came out with a pair of boy's shorts, and she lowered her eyes sadly.
Alas, it’s all my parents’ fault for being uneducated. They gave names to the six of them, siblings, all words that had been used by others, and hers was the most rustic.
Her name is Xiao Hua, her second sister is Xiao Yue, her third sister is Xiao Yan, her fourth brother is Xiao Yuan, her fifth sister is Xiao Jing, and her sixth brother is Xiao Yang.
When Huo Qinghuan saw Xiao Hua coming over, he felt a little guilty, after all, he had just been making fun of her!
Huo Qinghuan spoke first: "Sorry, classmate, I was just joking, don't take it seriously!"
Xiao Hua glanced at Huo Qinghuan, then at Lin Man, and after a long pause, she said, "It's okay...someone in our village even calls me Xiaocao on purpose!"
Hearing Xiao Hua's aggrieved voice, Huo Qinghuan and Lin Man looked at each other, and he suddenly realized that he seemed to have said something wrong.
“Cough cough cough…”
Huo Qinghuan coughed awkwardly a few times, then smiled friendly. "Um, excuse me, my name is Huo Qinghuan. You can call me by my name, or you can call me uncle. My eldest sister-in-law and I are from the same generation!"

Xiao Hua was stunned for a moment, and after hesitating for a moment, she nodded obediently: "Okay, uncle."
Looking at Xiao Hua's serious expression, Huo Qinghuan couldn't help laughing: "Haha, so cute, my dear niece."
Lin Man stood aside, watching the two of them, and couldn't help but feel a little amused. They were clearly the same age, yet they acted like uncle and nephew. How interesting.
"Qinghuan, you can call her Xiaohua." Lin Man introduced.
"Okay, Xiaohua, come to your uncle if you have any problems in the future!" Huo Qinghuan smiled brightly, as if he had thrown the unpleasantness just now away.
Xiao Hua took a look at Huo Qinghuan and felt that he was different from the boys in the village. He looked sunny, handsome and responsible.
Xiao Hua quickly carried Huo Yian to change his dirty pants, while Huo Qinghuan ran away and played the paper cannon game with Huo Yining.
During the day, Lin Man rarely turns on the TV for them, because once the TV is turned on, the whole room will be full of people.
Generally speaking, they would only move the TV to the yard for everyone to watch after Huo Qingci came home from get off work in the evening.
The weather was hot and there was little wind in the house. If you added the noise of children crying in the house, Lin Man couldn't rest at all.
She is pregnant now and needs to sleep a lot. Usually, after lunch, she will take the children back to the space and sleep for two hours.
If there were a group of children at home, her two sons would definitely not take a nap obediently.
In the afternoon, Xiao Hua was busy in the kitchen preparing dinner. Huo Qinghuan, as usual, took the initiative to go into the kitchen to help, which scared Xiao Hua.
"Uncle...uncle, why are you here?" Xiao Hua asked stutteringly.
"I'll come to help! When my sister-in-law cooks, I always come to help. Since we're eating at home, I naturally have to help with some things." Huo Qinghuan answered as a matter of course.
Xiao Hua thought, if this happened in their family, her parents would definitely not let her two younger brothers enter the kitchen. Other families would not let their sons enter the kitchen either, let alone teenagers. Of course, working in the fields was another matter.
As for her uncle, it was her grandfather who wanted her to learn a skill. Since her uncle wanted to learn cooking, her grandfather spent money to let her uncle become an apprentice and learn cooking.
Sure enough, after my uncle became a chef, the fate of our family changed. He worked as a chef in the canteen of a military hospital and became very successful. Their family even built a big new house.
She has to thank her uncle. If it weren't for his help, she might still be doing farm work in the countryside. When she was fifteen or sixteen years old, her parents would have married her off.
"Xiaohua, I'll cook today, you light the fire!" Huo Qinghuan suddenly said.
Xiao Hua came back to her senses and looked at Huo Qinghuan hesitantly. Finally, she decided to put down the kitchen knife and go to light the fire first.
Looking at Huo Qinghuan who was cutting vegetables skillfully, she suddenly thought of her fiancé He Xiangnan. She wondered if he could cook. Probably not, right?
After she marries into the He family, she will definitely have to cook, wash clothes, take care of children, and do farm work.
Fortunately, He Xiangnan plans to learn how to drive a tractor. Once he learns, he will help the village transport grain and will definitely earn 10 to 20 yuan a month.
And then, he could also take her to the city on a tractor. Thinking of this, Xiao Hua felt much better and a smile appeared on her face.
