Chapter 572: Busy Work (Page 1/2)
After returning home, Lin Man gently told the children to wash their hands, prepared a plate of strawberries for them, and asked them to go next door to watch TV for a while.
She herself continued to finish the two dishes that had not yet been cooked.
Before long, the kitchen was filled with the crisp sound of spatulas colliding with iron pots, accompanied by curling smoke and overflowing aroma.
When the last dish came out of the pot, Lin Man carefully placed the steaming dish on a plate and brought it to the dining table one by one and arranged them neatly.
Just then, a familiar sound of footsteps was heard at the door. It turned out to be Huo Qingci returning home from get off work.
Seeing the sumptuous meal on the table, Huo Qingci showed a relieved smile on his face.
Seeing this, Lin Man hurriedly said, "Let me set the table. Go and ask Grandpa and the children to come and eat."
Hearing his wife's instructions, Huo Qingci responded readily: "Okay! I'll go call her right away." After that, he quickly walked towards the next room.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw his lovely daughter Huo Yixin sitting quietly by the bed playing, but there was a large and conspicuous yellow medicine mark on the left side of her little face, and it was covered with tiny scratches.
Huo Qingci was startled and quickly stepped forward to ask with concern, "Xinxin, what happened to your face?"
Before Huo Yixin could answer, her younger sister Huo Rou couldn't wait to speak up, "Brother, it was all that annoying Yaya's fault! She insisted on taking my skipping rope, and our Xinxin was so brave. She took the initiative to help me get it back, but that bad girl actually reached out and scratched our niece!"
After listening to her sister's story, Huo Yixin nodded obediently, "Yeah, it was Yaya who scratched me. But later my mother asked her to apologize to me, so I generously forgave her."
Looking at the innocent little girl in front of him, Huo Qingci was filled with pity.
The originally fair and tender little face has now become dirty, just like a little cat, especially those deep and shallow scratches, which are really distressing.
He couldn't help but stretch out his fingers and gently stroke his daughter's cheek, muttering to himself worriedly: "Don't leave a scar on such a pretty little face."
"Dad, don't worry, it's just a little skin breakage, it will heal as a scab."
"No, after you wash your face tonight, Daddy will apply scar cream on you just in case."
He'd have to prepare more scar cream later; he'd asked his classmates to sell the previous batch. He only had two bottles left at home.
In order to prevent his beautiful daughter from leaving scars, he has to prepare some scar removal cream at home.
The scar removal cream he made is very gentle and non-irritating. It can be applied even if there are no scars on your face. It will make your skin fair and tender.
Seeing his grandson so nervous, Huo Li couldn't help but laugh and comforted him, "Children, when playing together, it's inevitable that they'll have some minor bumps and bruises occasionally.

That famous girl is a year older than our Xinxin, and her strength is more than twice that of Xinxin!"
As he spoke, he turned to look at his cute great-granddaughter and said earnestly, "In order to prevent our Xinxin from being bullied by others, starting tomorrow, you will follow Grandpa to the training ground to practice military boxing.
Now that he has mastered this skill, who dares to mess with our little darling? "
However, Huo Qingci quickly objected, "Oh, Grandpa, Zhang Mingyang's daughter grew up in the countryside, running around all over the mountains and fields all day long, so of course she's very strong.
But our Xinxin is a gentle little lady, how can we let her learn military boxing? Anan and Wenwen can learn it, and they can protect their younger sister. "
Huo Yixin hugged Huo Qingci's arm tightly and said with a firm face: "Dad, I want to learn military boxing from my grandfather. If that annoying girl dares to tickle me again, I will knock her to the ground with one punch!
Humph, not only did she beat me before, she also called Mom a vixen! Although she later apologized to me and I forgave her, she still insulted Mom. When I become stronger, I will help Mom get revenge!
Hearing this, Huo Qingci's eyes widened and he asked angrily, "What? That little girl actually dared to scold your mother? That's too much!"
At this moment, Huo Li suddenly stood up, waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, let's talk about these things after we finish eating. Now everyone should hurry up and eat first, don't go hungry."
Huo Qingci nodded helplessly, thinking that he would discuss this issue with Manman after dinner.
Although her eldest son Huo Yining was not at home, Lin Man still prepared four dishes for lunch today: pig's trotter soup, cold-mixed pig ears, stir-fried pork slices with kohlrabi, and stir-fried red cabbage.
After dinner, Huo Qingci took the initiative to wash the dishes. After the child went next door, he mopped the floor again and then pulled Lin Man back to the room.
Lin Man always felt that Huo Qingci looked at her strangely, so she asked him, "Why are you looking at me like that? Are you hiding something from me? Are you going to adopt another orphan?"
Huo Qingci pulled Lin Man to sit on the bedside and said softly, "Manman, I just heard Xinxin say that Zhang Mingyang's daughter scolded you."
Lin Man's expression changed immediately. "That girl was harmed by her mother. Her mother must have said bad things about me behind my back, and she followed her example."
"I plan to go to the Zhang family and have a good talk with Zhang Mingyang, asking him to restrain his wife and daughter."
"I think it's better to forget it. The matter has been resolved. As the saying goes, don't chase a desperate enemy. If you make trouble again, the whole compound will know about it.
Yu Xiuying called me a vixen behind my back, she was just jealous of my good looks."
In fact, Lin Man also knew that there were still good-looking women, but their breasts were not as big as hers, so she was called a vixen.
She dresses very conservatively and tries to wear loose clothes. They can't ask her to buy cloth to cover her chest, right?
