Chapter 631: Brains (Page 1/2)
When Song Jingjing heard her daughter say that she wanted to be a mother when she grew up, she was furious. She walked up to Huo Yingzi, bent down and slapped her on the butt several times.
"You stinky girl, I told you not to talk nonsense."
Huo Yingzi burst into tears after being hit, and Huo Qingyan quickly stood up and pulled his daughter to his side. As Huo Yingzi started crying, the two little ones in the cradle also started crying.
Huo Li heard the children crying, which made his head hurt, so he stood up and said, "It's getting late, I'll go back first. Qinghuan, go call your Uncle Zhang."
"Okay, grandpa." Huo Qinghuan stood up and rushed out.
Lin Man watched as Grandpa stood up and prepared to leave. She knew in her heart that today was a special holiday. How could he bring the children here for a meal, wipe his mouth, and then leave? This was truly inappropriate.
Then, she turned to look at the two children and gently said, "Ningning, everyone has finished their meal. Go help grandma wash the dishes. And An'an, go sweep the floor."
"Okay, Mom!" Huo Yining and Huo Yian responded in unison.
At this time, Huo Junshan said, "Oh, Ningning, An'an, you don't have to clean up these. Your uncle will take care of it when he comes back."
However, Huo Yining waved his hands repeatedly and said to his grandfather with a smile: "Grandpa, my uncle has gone out to look for Grandpa Zhang, and I don't know when he will be back.
It’s okay, I’ll wash the dishes. Besides, my brothers and sisters and I always take turns doing housework in our family.”
Hearing this, Song Jingjing, who was standing aside, couldn't help but secretly complain.
She thought that Lin Man was really lazy. She didn't do any work herself, but instead ordered the children around.
Look at those hands, so white and tender. Maybe they are kept in such good condition because she doesn’t want to do housework, right?
Time passed quietly, and before they knew it, the clock had pointed to half past eight. Lin Man then took the children on the journey home.
As soon as she got home, Lin Man methodically directed the children to line up in a column and go to the bathroom one by one to take a bath.
She first carefully poured the hot water from the two thermos bottles into a bucket, then poured the hot water from the large blow kettle on the coal stove into another bucket, and told the two children to take a bath first.
With four children at home, the hot water seemed far from enough, so Lin Man quickly re-lit the stove and boiled two more pots of boiling water.
After a busy period, the children finally finished their baths one after another. At this time, the wall clock showed 9:40.
Lin Man urged the children to go back to bed. After her precious daughter fell into a sweet dream, she gently collected all the dirty clothes that the children had changed out of and quietly brought them into her space.
Without hesitation, I threw them all into the fully automatic washing machine, poured in detergent and started the washing program.
Then she hurried back to the bathroom and began to wash her hair and take a bath carefully.
After washing up, she walked out of the bathroom, took out the washed clothes from the washing machine, and hung them neatly on the big bamboo pole on the balcony.
After finishing her work, she stepped into the space again and threw her dirty clothes into the washing machine.
Everything was arranged properly. Lin Man breathed a sigh of relief and slowly walked to the desk and sat down.
She took out a piece of white letter paper and an exquisite pen, and happily began to write a letter to her husband Huo Qingci who was far away.

At this moment, Huo Qingci had just finished a busy day. He simply tidied up the room, took a shower, and then lazily lay on the comfortable bed, looking at the bright moon outside the window.
Missing my relatives far away, I can't help feeling a little lonely and melancholy.
Since his family members were not around, Huo Qingci felt a little heavy-hearted today.
At noon, he invited his colleagues to come to the dormitory for lunch. In the evening, he ate the leftovers from lunch alone. After taking a few bites casually, he felt uncomfortable and couldn't help but have a few drinks.
At this moment, the alcohol gradually took effect, his head began to feel dizzy, and his thoughts became more and more confused.
In this hazy and trance-like state, Lin Man's gentle face kept appearing in Huo Qingci's mind. Gradually, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
A week after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Huo Qingci received fruit mooncakes of various flavors sent by Lin Man.
He was worried that Mooncake would get tired, so he simply used it for breakfast and afternoon snacks.
It took him half a month to finish all the fruit mooncakes, and he even gave a few to his office colleagues.
On October 21, the headlines of the daily newspapers were like a bombshell, boldly publishing the shocking news of the resumption of the college entrance examination!
As soon as this news came out, it caused an uproar across the country. People were talking about it and the whole country was in an uproar.
Lin Man sat leisurely at the desk, flipping through the newspaper. When her eyes fell upon the shocking news, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a calm and composed smile.
She muttered quietly, "This kid Huo Qinghuan is going to make a lot of money this time!"
Lin Man knew that Huo Qinghuan had been secretly preparing to sell his classmates' study materials after hearing from his grandfather about the resumption of the college entrance examination.
Although she was not directly involved, she agreed with Huo Qinghuan's approach.
After all, the fact that Huo Qinghuan could so keenly capture the business opportunities contained in this college entrance examination was enough to prove that he not only had a unique vision, but also possessed an excellent business acumen.
Thinking of this, Lin Man couldn't help but laugh again and said, "Maybe this kid can really become my right-hand man in the future." She hoped with anticipation that Huo Qinghuan would not disappoint her.
As long as he gets admitted to university and successfully completes his studies, the moment he leaves the campus, Lin Man plans to recruit him with a high salary and make him her manager.
At the same time, Lin Man was secretly planning her future development path in her heart.
Once the country officially announces next December that individuals are allowed to run businesses, it will be her time to show her skills and venture into the business world on her own.
By then, she will use her own wisdom and courage to carve out a place for herself in the turbulent business world.
Which business should she start first? She didn't want to run a food stall or a clothing stall for the time being, so she decided to start with a flower shop! The orchids planted in Huo Qingci's space should be able to sell for a lot of money.
The courtyard in the misty space is filled with rare orchids. These ancient and rare orchids should be bred more.
Lin Man decided that in the remaining year, she would plant some flowers and plants in her space, so that she could sell them for a good price when she had the chance.
The money earned from selling a rare orchid might be equivalent to several years’ income from other businesses.
