Chapter 689 (Page 1/2)
Huo Qingci, smiling broadly, led his family for a stroll along the bustling streets...
After shopping, the group went straight to the magnificent department store.
As soon as they entered the gate, the children were as excited as wild horses, walking around and looking around, while Lin Man and Huo Qingci followed slowly behind them.
They first went to the clothing store and carefully selected new clothes and shoes suitable for the children to wear during the Chinese New Year. Lin Man carefully compared the styles, colors and sizes, striving to ensure that every child could wear the most satisfactory clothes.
They bought a new set of clothes for each family member for the New Year, and then they went downstairs to the counter to buy New Year's goods, weighing three pounds of candy, biscuits, melon seeds and peanuts.
Seeing her youngest son Huo Yiwen staring at the bubble gum, Lin Man bought them a large box of bubble gum and two kilograms of chocolate.
Grandpa likes to eat butterfly cakes, so Lin Man also bought two boxes for him. Thinking of promising Huo Qingci to send some Hai City specialties back to her parents-in-law, Lin Man also bought them a lot of cakes and candies.
As they exited the department store, their hands laden with goods, each one clutching packages of varying sizes. Adults and children alike, no one's hands were empty. Huo Qingci even carried two heavy bags of Haishi specialties.
As soon as they left the department store, Huo Qingci turned to look at his wife Lin Man and said, "Manman, please take the children and grandpa to the Haishi Hotel first. Find a seat and wait for me.
I still have to rush to the post office to send these Haishi specialties to my parents, and send them some money back." He said, shaking the bag in his hand.
Lin Man looked at the watch on her wrist and found that there was still about half an hour before the post office closed.
She estimated the time in her mind and felt that she should be in time, so she smiled and nodded and said, "Okay, then go quickly and come back soon!"
Huo Qingci went to send local specialties to his parents, while Lin Man took his grandfather and the children to the famous Haishi Hotel first.
This hotel is large in scale and not only has an exquisite and elegant Chinese restaurant, but also a Western restaurant full of exotic flavor.
Just before coming here, Lin Man agreed to bring the children to eat Western food, and grandpa agreed, so they went directly to the Western restaurant.
As soon as the family sat down, the sensible Huo Yian cautiously approached Lin Man and asked in a low voice, "Mom, I heard that eating a Western meal here is not cheap. It costs dozens of yuan at least, and even hundreds of yuan at most. Is this true?"

In fact, for Lin Man, the cost of one or two hundred yuan for Western food is not an unbearable burden.
After all, enjoying such a gourmet feast occasionally will not put too much pressure on the family finances, not to mention that you don’t have to come here to consume every day.
However, looking at her son's worried look, Lin Man couldn't help but feel a little pity in her heart.
She smiled gently, reached out and gently stroked Huo Yian's little head, and said softly, "An An, don't worry too much! As long as it's something you like to eat, Mom will order it for you without hesitation!"
Huo Yiwen opened his big round eyes and pointed at the menu with his chubby little hand. He shouted in surprise, "Mom, look how expensive these snails are! They cost more than ten yuan a serving!"
Hearing her son's words, Lin Man smiled slightly and patiently explained: "Smell it, that's not a giant snail, it's a snail."
After hearing this, Huo Yi opened his mouth wide and shouted in disbelief: "Oh my God! Snails can be eaten? Mom, I dare not eat snails, let's not order it." As he said this, the little guy shrank his neck, as if he was a little afraid of snails.
Lin Man gently touched her son's head and said softly, "Okay, let's not order snails. Come on, kids,
How about Mommy ordering a delicious steak for each of you? Then a plate of pasta, a plate of garlic butter shrimp, a plate of baked cod, and red tomato soup..."
Lin Man called the waiter and ordered more than ten dishes in a row, from appetizers to desserts.
Huo Yian, who was standing by, looked at the price list on the menu curiously and couldn't help but smack his lips.
I saw that the prices of the dishes listed above were not cheap, one dish cost at least eight or nine yuan, and the better ones could cost as much as ten or twenty yuan.
He was secretly thinking, his mother ordered a steak for each of them.
If I had ordered dishes like my mother did, this meal would probably cost more than three hundred yuan!
Thinking of this, Huo Yian couldn't help but sigh that his mother was so generous and magnanimous today, making him seem like a rich second-generation all of a sudden.
