Chapter 586 (Page 1/2)
When Huo Li learned that Huo Qingci would go to see his mother at noon, he reminded him: "Qingci, when you go to see your mother, stop by Qingyan's house and ask him to take good care of Xiao Song.
It snowed heavily last night, and some snow drifted onto the balcony. To prevent it from freezing and causing falls, tell Qingyan to sprinkle some salt on the balcony."
Huo Qingci understood that his grandfather was worried that his younger brother and sister-in-law would slip and fall like Ling Fei, and kill the two children.
In order to reassure his grandfather, he nodded and agreed. At most, he would have to make one more trip.
"Okay, Grandpa. I'll go see Mom first, and then go to my second brother's house."
Lin Man learned that Huo Qingci was going to visit her mother-in-law at noon. As soon as her grandfather returned next door, she took out six cans of lychees, a bag of apples, a basket of vegetables, and a colorful pheasant from her space.
"Qingci, put these things into your space first and take them to visit my parents at noon."
Huo Qingci waved his hand, and the items placed there disappeared instantly and were all stored in the space.
He turned to look at Lin Man beside him, "Man Man, I have something to do at noon and can't come back for lunch. You don't have to wait for me."
Lin Man nodded slightly and replied softly, "Yeah, I understand."
However, who would have thought that Huo Qingci clearly said that he would not be back at noon, but just after ten o'clock, he suddenly rushed back home like a whirlwind.
What was even more surprising was that his younger sister Huo Rou also appeared with him.
Lin Man, who was busy crocheting woolen hats for the children, was so frightened when she saw this scene that her heart skipped a beat.
Why did Huo Qingci come back so early and bring his sister with him?
She was stunned for a moment, looking worriedly at the sister-in-law whose face was red from the cold wind, and turned around and said to Huo Qingci:
"Qingci, shouldn't you be at work right now? Why are you suddenly running back home at this time?"
Lin Man secretly wondered in her heart, could it be that her mother-in-law was sick?
Otherwise, with Huo Qingci's always steady and responsible character, he would never leave his post during working hours and bring his sister-in-law back home.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but become more worried, staring at Huo Qingci, waiting for his answer.
Huo Qingci seemed a little anxious, and his speech was much faster than usual: "Manman, my mother suddenly had a high fever last night, and the situation is a bit serious. My father rushed her to the hospital late last night.
My sister came with me, and I was really worried about her getting cold in the ward, so I brought her back and left her in your care."
Huo Qingci thought that if his sister was also sick, it would be a real problem. There was no fireplace in the ward, so he couldn't let his sister stay in the hospital and had to take her home.
"Okay, I understand. Go to work quickly. I will take good care of Rourou."
Lin Man didn't expect that their worries would come true, and her mother-in-law was admitted to the hospital with a high fever.
She took Huo Rou's hand and sat her down by the fireplace, then turned to the drawer to get a tissue to wipe her nose.
Seeing that Huo Qingci hadn't left yet, she asked again, "Qingci, has Mom's fever gone down?"
"I got a fever-reducing shot, but it's still 38 degrees. Manman, I don't need to go to my parents' house at noon. Mom is in the hospital for treatment. I need to bring lunch to them. Please cook more rice for them."
"Okay, I'll cook more rice and I'll take it to mom when it's ready."

"My mom has no appetite right now. Manman, why don't you go buy some meat and make sweet and sour pork tenderloin for her?"
"Okay, I'll go buy it later."
As soon as Huo Qingci left the house, Lin Man walked out of the room lightly, holding a fruit plate full of various fruits and snacks in her hands.
Smiling, she said to Huo Rou kindly, "Rou Rou, go to the next room and warm yourself by the fire with Grandpa. I have to run to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some meat."
Upon hearing this, Huo Rou immediately raised her head, looking up at Lin Man with her big, watery eyes. She said with expectation and pleading, "Sister-in-law, please! Let me go out with you! I promise to be good and obedient and not run around or make a fuss."
Lin Man shook her head gently, squatted down and gently touched Huo Rou's little head, and explained patiently:
"Rou Rou, look outside the window! The snow is still falling. It's so cold! You'd better stay home and warm yourself by the fire.
"Sister-in-law will be back soon, and as long as you stay home obediently, she will bring you your favorite White Rabbit candy when she comes back!"
Although she felt a little disappointed, the sensible Huo Rou knew that her sister-in-law was also thinking about her, so she had to pout and nodded reluctantly, indicating that she agreed to stay.
Lin Man held Huo Rou's little hand in one hand, and held a fruit plate filled with various dried fruits in the other hand, and walked towards the next door with light steps.
Huo Li, who was reading the newspaper, was so frightened when he saw his little granddaughter appear before him again that he trembled all over. A look of astonishment appeared on his face, and he hurriedly asked, "Xiao Man, why is Rourou here again?"
Lin Man quickly placed the fruit plate in her hand gently on the coffee table, then pulled over a chair and sat down. While gently stroking Huo Rou's hair, she replied softly:
"Grandpa, grandma suddenly had a high fever last night. Even after the injection, her temperature still hasn't come down completely.
My father-in-law and mother-in-law were worried about leaving Rourou alone at home, so they took her to the hospital.
Huo Qingci was worried that his sister would catch a cold after staying in the hospital for too long, so he decided to bring her back to warm herself up by the fire.
Upon hearing this, Huo Li's face turned pale instantly. He froze in place as if struck by lightning. His lips trembled as he spoke, "Wha...what? Xiaoya actually has a high fever! Could it be that her illness has relapsed?"
As he spoke, his originally calm expression began to become panicked, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Oh no, oh no! What if my daughter-in-law's cancer comes back? She definitely won't live another year!
The doctor clearly told us at the beginning that as long as patients with early-stage cancer undergo surgery in time, the disease will usually not relapse.
But what's going on with my daughter-in-law now? Why did she suddenly have a high fever that wouldn't go away?
Huo Li was extremely anxious at this moment, rubbing his hands constantly. Seeing that his grandfather was so worried, Lin Man comforted him:
"The weather is cold, and adults and children are prone to catching colds. Grandma may have a weak immune system and caught a cold last night, so she has a fever. Grandpa, you don't have to worry too much."
