Chapter 581: Wen Wan Gets Angry Out of Shame (Page 1/2)
Time flies by like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, another half a month has passed.
As the days go by, the weather becomes colder, as if the pace of winter is gradually accelerating.
That day, Xiao Ya said worriedly to her husband, Huo Junshan, "The weather is getting colder and colder. Junshan, can you spare some time to go and fetch our precious daughter? I'm worried she'll catch a cold if she doesn't cover herself with a blanket at night."
Huo Junshan knew his wife's worries were justified, so he readily agreed, "Okay, wife, I'll find a time to go pick our daughter up tomorrow."
The next evening, Huo Junshan finally returned home after a busy day at work.
He didn't even have time to rest for a moment. After a simple greeting to Xiao Ya, he hurriedly got on his youngest son Huo Qinghuan's bicycle and sped towards the military hospital.
When Huo Junshan hurriedly arrived at the residence of his eldest son Huo Qingci, he happened to see the family enjoying dinner.
When Huo Li saw his son appear at this time, he couldn't help but feel puzzled, wondering if the third son had come here specially to get a free meal?
So he asked with some doubt: "Junshan, why are you here now?"
Hearing his father's question, Huo Junshan showed a warm smile on his face and replied:
"The weather is getting colder, and Xiaoya is worried that Rourou will catch a cold, so I was thinking of taking her back home." After saying that, he sat down at the dining table with a carefree smile.
Seeing this, Huo Qingci, who was standing by, quickly stood up. He first swiftly brought a set of clean bowls and chopsticks to his father, and then considerately served him a bowl full of fragrant rice.
Huo Junshan looked at the rich and delicious dishes on the table in front of him and couldn't help but praise: "Oh my, the food here is really good! Look at our Rourou, she must have eaten a lot of delicious food recently, her little face has become a lot rounder!" As he said, he looked at the well-behaved and lovely Huo Rou with a smile.
Huo Li narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at him, and then asked slowly, "Junshan, how is your wife doing now?"
Thinking of his wife, Huo Junshan couldn't help but frown and replied worriedly, "Alas! Xiaoya has been relying on medication for a while now and can't eat.
In the past two weeks, I've lost several pounds. I estimate that I only weigh 78 pounds now."
Lin Man, who was standing by, couldn't help but feel a pang of worry when she heard that her mother-in-law had lost weight to only 78 kilograms.
You know, her second son Huo Yian already weighs 70 kilograms. How can the mother-in-law be thinner than the child? This is really too thin!
Before he got sick, he weighed at least 108 kilograms. Now he has lost 30 kilograms. This is too exaggerated.
At this moment, Huo Qingci placed a bowl of steaming, fragrant rice steadily in front of his father, then sat down slowly and said softly:
"Dad, is Mom losing weight because she has no appetite? If there's anything she particularly wants to eat, let's go buy her some."
Huo Li sighed softly, shook his head and replied, "Your mother, all she's thinking about is the various pickled vegetables that Manman pickled herself. She said that eating those can still make up half a bowl of rice."
When Huo Qingci heard this, he quickly waved his hands and shook his head, and retorted seriously, "No, no, pickles are not nutritious at all. Mom is so weak, she can't eat pickles.
We have some freshly made jars of meat at home. Dad, take one back with you when you leave. It's sure to taste amazing no matter what vegetables you stir-fry it with. Mom will definitely love it.
The vegetables Manman bought today look especially fresh and tender, and taste sweet and refreshing. Dad should take some more back so Mom can change her taste."
Huo Junshan gracefully picked up a handful of fresh and juicy chicken greens with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, chewing it carefully.
At that moment, his taste buds seemed to be conquered by a fresh and rich taste, and his eyes lit up.
"Well, this chicken feather vegetable is really delicious!" Huo Junshan praised it highly, and picked up some more and put it into his mouth, as if he could never eat enough.
"Xiao Man, tell me quickly where did you buy this chicken feather vegetable? It has such a wonderful texture and taste." Huo Junshan looked at Lin Man with curiosity.
Lin Man smiled slightly, but turned her gaze to Huo Qingci beside her and gave him a look for help.
Huo Qingci understood what he meant and quickly took over the conversation, saying, "Dad, these vegetables are not bought from the supply and marketing cooperative. We purchased them from private individuals. If you like them, feel free to take some home and enjoy them slowly."
Huo Qingci paused for a moment, then continued, "By the way, Dad, I'm going to visit Mom tomorrow afternoon. I wonder if she likes black-bone chicken? I'm thinking of buying her two black-bone chickens and bringing them over so she can have some good nourishment."
Huo Junshan chewed his food and mumbled, "Oh, you're so thoughtful! But black-bone chickens are hard to come by, so don't bother with that."
Wait a couple of days, I will go to the nearby village and pick out two fat old hens for your mother to nourish her body.
Oh, and buy one for your sister-in-law too, so she can take good care of it. Earlier this morning, Qingyan told me that Xiao Song is pregnant with two babies. "As he spoke, he picked up the bowl and took a big mouthful of rice.

Hearing this, Huo Li's face immediately lit up with joy, his excitement evident in his expression: "Haha, that's great! Our Huo family is going to have another child next year, this is such a great joy!"
Lin Man on the side frowned slightly and thought to herself.
She conceived her twins, a boy and a girl, by taking fertility pills. As far as she knew, the Song family did not have the genetic gene for twins, and the same was true for her own Huo family.
So how did Song Jingjing get pregnant with twins?
Could it be that she secretly took Western medicine to stimulate ovulation?
But then I thought, there doesn't seem to be any such medicine on the market in China yet. Otherwise, she must have drunk some traditional soup that can promote ovulation?
It’s just that the ovulation-inducing herbal medicine is not as good as Western medicine. Song Jingjing was really lucky and she really got pregnant with twins.
Song Jingjing gave birth to twins, so there were five children in their family. Five children, a nanny and the two of them, how could one bedroom and one living room be enough for them to live in?
She was a little confused as to why women of this era loved having children so much, giving birth to one baby after another.
When Huo Qingci heard that his sister-in-law was pregnant with twins, he did not show much surprise or joy on his face, but seemed quite calm and composed.
The only thing he was worried about now was his mother's health. He was thinking about how to make her fat as soon as possible.
After dinner, Lin Man smiled and said to Huo Yian, "An An, you will wash the dishes today." Then she turned and walked towards Huo Rou's room, ready to help pack the clothes.
On the other side, Huo Qingci quickly picked up bags and started packing vegetables.
He carefully packed the fresh vegetables that had not been eaten at home into a big bag. These vegetables were green and juicy, and looked very fresh and delicious.
Then, he carried out a heavy jar of meat from the room. The jar was filled with fragrant fried meat. The jar and the meat weighed at least ten pounds.
At this time, Huo Junshan said, "Qingci, do you have any more kimchi that Manman made? Give me a bowl so I can have it with my porridge tomorrow morning."
Huo Qingci quickly replied, "Dad, we have pickles, but I can just get you a jar. Only you and Qinghuan can eat this jar of pickles. Mom's current health condition doesn't allow her to eat pickles."
Huo Junshan nodded, showing his understanding: "I know, I will keep an eye on your mother and will definitely not let her eat anything carelessly."
Afterwards, Huo Qingci said goodbye to his sister and father. After returning to the house, he gently said to the children, "Children, wash your faces and feet and go to bed. Daddy has something to take care of."
After arranging the children, he took Lin Man back to the room and entered his own space.
Lin Man looked at him with a puzzled look on her face, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. She asked in confusion, "Qingci, it's so late, why did you suddenly ask me to come to your space? Is there something important?"
Curiosity gleamed in her bright eyes. Huo Qingci smiled slightly, revealing a row of neat white teeth, and said softly, "Manman, I want to put a few traps over there in the pond to catch some soft-shelled turtles. Can you help me put some bait in the traps?"
Hearing this, Lin Man suddenly realized what was going on. She instantly understood Huo Qingci's intention.
I guess it’s because my mother-in-law has been feeling a little weak recently and needs some nourishment, and soft-shelled turtle is a nutritious ingredient that can nourish the body.
Thinking of this, Lin Man couldn't help but feel moved. She felt very pleased with Huo Qingci's attentiveness and filial piety. She thought that if her mother-in-law was gone, Huo Qingci would definitely not be able to get over it.
However, she also knew that it was relatively easy for most people to gain weight, and they could increase their weight through proper dietary supplements. But for someone like her mother-in-law in her current condition, it would probably not be an easy task to restore her health and gain weight.
But no matter what, as long as everyone works together, we can definitely help my mother-in-law recover her health. My mother-in-law is still here, so her pressure is not that great.
Lin Man nodded readily and said, "No problem. I'll prepare the bait for you right away. You should catch a few more turtles, preferably one male and one female."
I plan to raise them in the stream in my space and see if I can keep them alive. If I succeed, maybe I can breed better quality turtles in the future!"
Huo Qingci smiled when he heard this, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes, and said, "Then I'll do as you say. We'll set up six traps tonight and come back tomorrow morning to see what we've harvested."
"Okay!" Lin Man agreed happily, turned around and walked towards her own space.
After a while, she arrived at the exotic beast warehouse, opened the door carefully and walked in.
There was a faint fishy smell in the warehouse, and all kinds of strange and bizarre beasts were placed in different areas.
Lin Man walked to one of the corners with ease and took out a special beast from the cage. It had a unique appearance and exuded a mysterious aura.
This strange beast is small and exquisite in appearance, covered with a layer of colorful scales, and its eyes are as dazzling as gems.
Lin Man thought that with this special beast as bait, she should be able to attract more turtles. She blended its meat in a blender and returned to Huo Qingci's space with a bucket of the beast's meat.
He kneaded the exotic beast meat into a ball and stuffed it into the trap, then Huo Qingci placed the six traps into the pond one by one.
