Chapter 520 (Page 1/2)
Huo Qinghuan grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the table and began to crack them, nodding as he ate. "Well, these grapefruits were bought by my eldest brother. I brought back a big bag. If my second brother likes them, he can take a few and eat them."
Huo Qingyan asked again, "Brother, did your hospital give you any grapefruits?"
Huo Qingci first looked at Huo Qingyan as if he were an idiot, then picked up a slightly yellow tangerine from the table, peeled it, threw the peel into the ash bucket, and handed the tangerine to Lin Man.
"Manman, eat some tangerines to help your digestion."
"Thanks."
Song Jingjing pulled Huo Qingyan, "Qingyan, I heard that big brother sent a woven bag of grapefruits. It's impossible for big brother's company to give out so many grapefruits at once."
Huo Qingyan finally realized what was happening and immediately asked, "Brother, where did you buy so many grapefruits?"
"I bought it from a friend. If you like it, come to my house tomorrow and pick it up." Huo Qingci lied casually.
Of course, these grapefruits came from his space. Because the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, Huo Qingci picked dozens of them to give to others.
"Okay, I'll go get it tomorrow when I'm free. The company gave out a few pounds of chocolate, so I'll give some to Xinxin tomorrow."
When Huo Yingzi heard that her father was going to give away the chocolates at home, she immediately became unhappy.
She threw herself into Huo Qingyan's arms and said aggrievedly, "Dad, didn't you say that the remaining chocolates were for my brother and me? You gave half of the chocolates to my cousins today, and the rest to Sister Xinxin. What are we going to eat then?"
"Zizi, Xinxin is so good to you, can you give her half of those chocolates?" Huo Qingyan patiently coaxed his daughter.
Seeing this, Huo Yichen decided to give up the chocolate given to him because he was in the process of teething and couldn't eat sweets.
"Dad, I'm teething now and don't want to eat chocolate anymore. You can give mine to my sister."
Huo Qingyan reached out and touched his son's head, praising him: "Chenchen has become sensible now that he goes to school."
Lin Man ate the orange peeled by Huo Qingci and looked up at the night sky. The moon on August 15th was indeed quite round.
Huo Qinghuan reached out and took a mooncake from the table. As he ate it, he sighed, "The moon is so round tonight!"
Huo Yining laughed and retorted, "Uncle, the moon is fullest on the 16th and 15th. Tonight's moon is not the fullest."
"You're just looking for trouble. Oh, by the way, I heard Xinxin and Wenwen could recite a lot of ancient poems when they were young. Why don't you two take turns reciting poems with the word 'yue' in them? Whoever recites the most will get a reward."
Huo Yining teased, "Uncle, what's the reward? Can An An and I participate?"
"How can you be so embarrassed when you're already in junior high school?"
"Then An An can participate even though he's not in junior high school."
As soon as Huo Yining finished speaking, Huo Yian immediately shook his head, "Brother, that's too childish. Let your younger brothers and sisters come!"
He didn't want to participate in this kind of childish game, it was so boring. Huo Yian didn't want to participate, and Huo Yiwen didn't want to participate either, he also shook his head and refused.
Huo Yixin blinked her big eyes and asked, "Uncle, what reward will you give me if I recite the most?"
Huo Qinghuan looked very interested and asked with great interest, "What kind of reward does Xinxin want?"
Huo Yixin didn't even think about it and answered without hesitation: "Colored chalk! Uncle, you're a teacher, can you go get some colored chalk?"
During normal classes, teachers mostly use ordinary white chalk, and only rarely use red chalk to emphasize key points.

For Huo Yixin, if she had a few colorful chalks, she could take them home and draw little flowers on the ground with the children.
A week after school started, Huo Qinghuan had not received any colored chalks himself, but in order to fulfill his niece's little wish, he was willing to try to borrow some from the art teacher of Class 5, or get some from the logistics department.
So, he smiled and nodded in agreement, "No problem, as long as Xinxin can recite ten lines of poetry with the word 'moon' in them, I will give you some colored chalks."
After hearing this, Huo Yixin's bright eyes immediately revealed excitement and anticipation.
"I want one of each color."
"Okay, let's get started!"
"The moon shines brightly before my bed, I wonder if it's frost on the ground. The moon rises from the sea, and we share this moment across the world. The moon shines among the pines, and a clear spring flows over the rocks. Under the moon, a flying mirror appears, and clouds form a sea tower.
The dew starts tonight, the moon is bright in my hometown. Stars hang low over the vast plains, the moon rises over the mighty river. The road to the village is deep in the bamboo forest, the fishing boats are few and far between when the moon rises. I know the moon is still awake, and my homesickness is in the fishermen's songs.
The wild fields are vast, the sky low, the trees low, the river clear, the moon nears the people. The moon rises, startling the mountain birds, which sometimes sing in the spring stream. Deep in the forest, no one knows, the bright moon comes to shine on us..."
Huo Yixin kept reciting, and Huo Yiwen interrupted her, saying, "Sister, you have already recited eighteen poems with the word 'moon' in them." Only then did Huo Yixin stop.
Huo Qinghuan smiled as he looked at Huo Yixin with gentle and doting eyes. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that his niece was so smart.
He couldn't help but praise her, "Xinxin, you're really good at reciting. I'll get you a box of colored chalks tomorrow."
"Thank you, uncle." Huo Yixin smiled with satisfaction.
At this moment, Huo Yingzi suddenly stood up and said, "Uncle, I want some colored chalk too."
Huo Qinghuan teased him deliberately, "Then Yingzi also recited a poem with the word 'moon' in it, and my uncle also gave me a piece of colored chalk."
Huo Yingzi's eyes turned and she pushed Huo Yichen, "Brother, will you be?"
Yi Chen frowned, scratched his cheek with his hand, and thought with a worried look on his face.
What should he do? The only poem he could recite by heart, "Quiet Night Thoughts", had already been picked up by his cousin, and he didn't know any other poems!
At this moment, his eyes suddenly fell on the mooncakes on the table. His eyes lit up and an idea came to his mind.
He quickly picked up the mooncake on the table, held it high, and gestured towards the moon. Then, without hesitation, he took a big bite of the mooncake and mumbled incoherently, "The mooncake is round and delicious, and it's free."
"Puchi..." Lin Man on the side could no longer suppress the laughter in her heart and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Hahaha...Chenchen is so smart!" The others couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Lin Man could never have imagined that her nephew, who was usually skinny and picky about food, could have such an innocent and lovely side.
Even Huo Qingci had not expected that his timid nephew would react so quickly.
He patted Huo Qingyan on the shoulder and said, "Chenchen is a good kid. He's very quick-witted. You should train him well."
Huo Qingyan was speechless. His niece could recite so many poems with the word "moon" in them, but his son couldn't recite a single one and could only make up doggerel.
"Brother, I decided to let Chenchen go to Xinxin's class so that Xinxin can tutor Chenchen."
