Chapter 448: Successfully Passing the Grade-Advanced Exam (Page 1/2)
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's already the scorching June. In two days, Huo Yining will be facing the crucial entrance exam at school.
As a mother, Lin Man was determined to ensure that her son would pass the exam smoothly. To this end, she painstakingly prepared multiple sets of second-grade Chinese and other subject exams.
Whenever Huo Yining got home from school, Lin Man would always be eager to get him into the intensive practice of questions.
It is gratifying that Huo Yining has shown amazing talent in mathematics and can easily get full marks every time; and in Chinese subjects, although he cannot get full marks every time, he can get more than 90 points each time.
It has to be said that as a teacher, Lin Man generally sets test questions of high difficulty. However, even so, Huo Yining was still able to hand in such an excellent answer.
Lin Man breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that her son should have no problem with this skipping grade exam.
Just the night before the skipping grade test, Lin Man acted contrary to her usual behavior and continued to let her son practice questions.
Instead, she cooked herself and made Huo Yining's favorite sauced spare ribs and pan-fried yellow croaker.
The next morning, before daybreak, Lin Man got up early and fried some golden and crispy fried dough sticks for her son as breakfast. She told him to eat one fried dough stick with two eggs for good luck.
Who would have thought that this clever little kid could eat two whole fried dough sticks and two eggs in one go.
After watching his son contentedly enjoy his delicious breakfast, Huo Qingci turned to Lin Man beside him and said, "It's still early. I plan to take Ningning to school first, and then go to work at the hospital."
Lin Man said, "Okay then, you come and take the child to school today. By the way, Qingci, you pick up your son from school at noon. You can eat in the cafeteria and then go back to the dormitory for a nap. I won't be picking him up."
Huo Qingci nodded and said yes. Huo Yining finished his breakfast, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and ran to Huo Qingci. "Dad, if I pass today's skipping exam, can you treat me to dumplings at the noodle shop at noon? I haven't had dumplings in a long time."
Huo Qingci patted Huo Yining's little head and said, "As long as you pass the exam, I will take you to the noodle shop to eat dumplings at noon."
At this time, Huo Yian came over and said, "Dad, I want to eat dumplings too."
Seeing that his two great-grandsons wanted to eat dumplings, Huo Li told Huo Qingci, "We have flour at home. Go to the supply and marketing cooperative at noon and buy some meat."
"Okay, Grandpa."
Huo Qingci thought, why not kill a pig one day when he has a day off. In addition to the Chinese New Year, he can also kill a pig on other days and eat it slowly. In the summer, it is easy for maggots to grow on sausages and bacon. Anyway, his wife's space has a cold storage, so if he can't finish it at once, he can put it in the cold storage for cold storage.
Lin Man thought that there were still a lot of seafood in her space, and the children liked to eat dumplings. She could go to the space to get some shrimps and make shrimp dumplings.
She pulled Huo Qingci back to the room, went into the space and fished out ten pounds of black tiger shrimp. "Bring it back after get off work. I'll let the dough rise and make dumpling wrappers tonight."
"Is Manman preparing to make shrimp dumplings tonight?"
"Buy some more meat and make some pork dumplings."
"Okay, then I won't take my son out for dumplings at noon. Just eat something in the cafeteria."
Lin Man naturally had no problem with Huo Qingci's arrangement. She said, "Explain to your son that we will make dumplings ourselves tonight."

Huo Qingci kissed Lin Man on the cheek and said, "Wife, please make more dough. I haven't eaten dumplings in a long time. Besides, Xinxin and Wenwen can eat now, so make more dumplings tonight."
"How much can you eat? I'm going to make two hundred dumplings tonight, which should be enough!"
"I should be able to eat fifty, and Ningning can probably eat thirty or forty..."
"Okay, okay, I'll pack two hundred more and freeze the leftovers. I'll cook them for breakfast tomorrow, okay?"
"Then let's do it!"
Huo Yining thought he would have dumplings for lunch, but when school was over at noon, his father came to the school to pick him up for lunch, but he was taken directly to the cafeteria.
He pouted and questioned Huo Qingci, "Dad, the teacher said I did very well in the exam and will definitely pass the advanced placement test. Why didn't you take me to eat dumplings?"
"I bought some meat and shrimp and left them in the dormitory. I'll bring them home tonight and make dumplings for you. The food in our cafeteria is pretty good too. We won't have the big pot for lunch, so ordering two separate dishes is fine, right?"
Huo Yining grinned, "Dad, I want to eat braised pork for lunch."
"Sure, let's order some seaweed egg drop soup."
Although Huo Yining has been growing steadily in the past two years and is indeed a lot thinner than when he was a child, he is still much stronger than ordinary children.
At his current growth rate, he will definitely be much taller than him when he reaches adulthood.

Because Xiao Ya was pregnant, Huo Junshan was worried that she would be too tired, so he didn't let her cook. He took care of all the meals. After all, Xiao Ya was an elderly mother and couldn't afford any mistakes.
Huo Junshan brought out two dishes and a soup from the kitchen. Xiao Ya walked out of the room, her face looking a little swollen.
The two sat down to eat. Xiao Ya ate half a bowl of rice and said she had no appetite.
Huo Junshan looked at his exhausted wife and asked with a look of pity in his heart, "Xiaoya, you look so tired, are you feeling like vomiting?"
Xiao Ya shook her head gently and replied with a slightly helpless tone, "I haven't vomited for a long time, but I still feel a little tight in my chest. Also, I toss and turn at night and can't fall asleep. During the day, I'm extremely sleepy, but I don't have time to sleep at all."
Huo Junshan reached out his hand, gently stroked Xiaoya's slightly bulging belly, and comforted her, "Hold on for another two months, and you can retire and have a good rest.
Your belly is starting to show, and it will probably get even bigger in two months. Xiaoya, how about we make two sets of loose-fitting clothes? That way they'll be more comfortable."
Xiao Ya sighed, smiled bitterly and said, "There's no sewing machine at home!"
Huo Junshan quickly said, "Don't the second brother have one? We can ask Xiao Song for help and ask her to make it for us."
In fact, Huo Junshan knew very well that his son and daughter-in-law had always been reluctant about Xiaoya giving birth to the child. They always thought that it was too embarrassing for them as parents to have a child at this age.
They had never planned to have a fourth child, but who would have thought that God played a joke on them and let them welcome a new life at this age.
Huo Junshan couldn't bear to let his wife abort the child no matter what.
