Chapter 480: Happy and Harmonious Life (Page 1/2)
When Yong Lin Man saw her father-in-law coming to help make dumplings, she simply boiled water and cooked a pot of dumplings first, and if there was not enough, she would cook more later.
While making dumplings, Huo Qingci asked Huo Junshan, "Dad, how is Mom doing lately? Is she still vomiting?"
"It's okay, your mother hasn't vomited recently, she's just been sleep deprived and sleepy.
Actually, I didn't expect your mother to get pregnant so suddenly at first. Since she was pregnant, she had no choice but to give birth. Didn't you check your mother's pulse and tell her that she was having a girl? Now you finally have a sister."
Yes, he has a younger sister. Not only does he have a younger sister, but his sister is younger than his daughter.
To be honest, his children will have to call girls younger than themselves "Auntie" in the future, which is a bit of a disadvantage.
"Dad, it will be very difficult for Mom to be pregnant at her age. Please take her for a physical checkup more often when you have time."
Huo Junshan smiled and said, "Yes, I will take your mother to the hospital for a checkup every month.
A few days ago, the doctor told your mom to get more protein and eat more eggs, fish, and shrimp. Today, thanks to Ningning, we had shrimp dumplings."
Huo Junshan knew that it was indeed inappropriate for them to have children at this age. Fortunately, his eldest son and youngest son finally accepted it. However, his second son's family only accepted it verbally and were still not very comfortable with it.
When his wife was pregnant, his second son and second daughter-in-law never bought anything to visit his wife. When he bought supplements for his wife, he would occasionally bring some back for his second son's daughter-in-law.
He knew that his second son and daughter-in-law were still feeling awkward, so he and his wife could only pretend they didn't know and continue to live their lives as usual.
Huo Qingci suddenly had an idea, and he turned his gaze to Huo Junshan and asked, "Dad, have you told Grandpa and Grandma about Mom's pregnancy?"
Huo Junshan shook his head and replied, "Not yet. I plan to wait until next month, your grandmother's birthday, when our family returns to the city and we can talk to them about this situation."
At this time, Lin Man was squatting in front of the stove, adding firewood attentively, but her mind was full of thoughts.
She wondered to herself how Huo Qingci's grandmother would react if she knew that her daughter, who was already fifty years old, was pregnant again.
She might be shocked at first, but considering how much the old man loves his daughter, she should be able to accept it in the end.
However, this may not be the case for my uncle and aunt, as they may think that this is a loss of face for them.
Lin Man thought to herself that if she were to become pregnant unexpectedly at the age of fifty, she would definitely choose to abort the child quietly without hesitation.
It's not because she couldn't bear it, but because she really didn't want to spend a lot of energy taking care of young children when she was in her fifties or sixties and should be enjoying her retirement.
If you can lie down, of course you should lie down as soon as possible. Otherwise, what is the purpose of life? Of course, it is to live comfortably. Is it to give birth to a man?
Everyone has their own aspirations. She cannot understand her parents-in-law's thoughts, and of course she will not interfere. After all, this matter has nothing to do with her.
The water in the pot boiled. Lin Man first made a pot of shrimp, seaweed and egg drop soup, poured the soup into a large enamel basin, and then boiled water again to put the dumplings in.
After cooking a pot of dumplings, Lin Man took it out first, and asked Huo Qingci to cook the remaining dumplings.
Lin Man had just brought out the dumplings when Huo Yining and Huo Yian came over, each holding an enamel.
"Mom, the dumplings are cooked. Can we start eating them now?"

"Well, you little ones, eat first."
Lin Man was holding a soup spoon and preparing to distribute dumplings to the eldest and second child. At this time, the two little guys, Huo Yixin and Huo Yiwen, also came over.
Huo Yiwen hugged Lin Man's legs and said in a baby voice, "Mom, I want to eat dumplings."
Huo Yixin echoed, "Mom, I want one too."
"Okay, okay, everyone has some. I'll serve your eldest and second brothers first, and then I'll serve you guys later."
Lin Man scooped ten dumplings into each of Huo Yining and Huo Yian's bowls and asked them to sit at the big table to eat.
She took two small bowls, scooped three dumplings for each of the twins, brought them to the coffee table, and let them sit on a small stool to eat slowly.
And told Xiaohua, "Xiaohua, look after Xinxin and Wenwen. I'll go call grandpa out to eat dumplings."
"Auntie Lin, let me feed Xinxin and the others."
"No, they dig it out with a spoon. They won't like it if you feed them."
Huo Yixin, who had just sat down, nodded and said, "Xinxin, eat by yourself."
Huo Yiwen carefully picked up the spoon and gently scooped up a round, cute, plump dumpling.
He blew gently on the steaming dumplings a few times and pouted: "Even if you want to smell it, you have to eat it yourself."
These two little guys are still young and don’t know how to use chopsticks very well, but surprisingly, they are very skilled in using spoons.
Lin Man was worried that the children might accidentally drop food on the table while eating, so she thoughtfully put silicone bibs on the two little ones.
With this small bib protecting you, even if the dumplings accidentally slip from your mouth, they will fall steadily into the bib instead of falling on the coffee table.
Xiao Hua knew that Lin Man came from a wealthy family and always liked to go shopping in the department store in her spare time.
So when she was in their house and saw some new and unusual items appear in the house, she did not become overly curious or ask too many questions.
After all, with the Huo family's financial strength, they can buy anything as long as it can be bought.
She had never been to a department store, so naturally she didn't know what kind of goods were there, but she had heard them say that the department store sold imported goods.
Lin Man walked to Huo Li's door, raised her hand and knocked gently, and shouted loudly: "Grandpa, it's time to eat!"
After a slight noise came from the house, Huo Li was seen leisurely waving the old palm-leaf fan in his hand, slowly opened the door and walked out.
He immediately saw his well-behaved and lovely great-grandchildren who were quietly enjoying the delicious dumplings. A smile of satisfaction appeared on his face, and he walked steadily to the main seat at the dining table and sat down.
Huo Li put down his palm-leaf fan and asked with concern, "Why haven't Junshan and Qingci come yet?"
"Grandpa, don't worry. Qingci is busy cooking the second pot of dumplings in the kitchen. They will be here soon to eat together."
Lin Man quickly explained. As soon as she finished speaking, she turned and went back into the room.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw my mother-in-law wearing a pair of reading glasses, sitting in front of the sewing machine, concentrating on sewing that exquisite maternity dress.
She walked over and said, "Mom, I'll make the clothes later, let's eat first!"
Xiao Ya sewed the sleeves first, then slowly stood up, took off her reading glasses and placed them on the sewing machine.
Turning to look at Lin Man, he said, "Manman, it must be hard taking care of four children!"
"I'm fine. It's not that hard with Xiaohua around."
