Chapter 710 (Page 1/2)
Just as Huo Yining was happily preparing to pick up the knife to cut the exquisite cake, suddenly, a crisp and loud voice came: "Wait a minute!" Lin Man shouted loudly to pause.
She turned around quickly and walked quickly towards the room.
After a while, Lin Man walked out of the room, but there was something extra in her hand - a pack of colorful candles.
Huo Yining stared at his mother's hands curiously, his heart full of doubts.
He couldn't help but ask, "Mom, what are you going to do?"
Lin Man smiled and gracefully picked up the match. With a light strike, the flame instantly ignited. She carefully lit the candle, and the flickering candlelight illuminated her gentle face.
Then, she turned her head, looked at Huo Yining, and said softly, "Son, put down the knife in your hand quickly. Today, put down the knife in your hand quickly.
Today is your birthday, let's make a beautiful wish first, and then blow out these beautiful candles together!"
Huo Yining opened his mouth and was about to ask his mother where she found this cute little candle, but before he could ask, he was interrupted by Lin Man.
Lin Man, with a smile on her face, urged him to close his eyes and make a wish, as if she was afraid of missing this wonderful moment.
Huo Yining had no choice but to do as he was told, closed his eyes, and silently made a wish in his heart.
After a moment, Huo Yining slowly opened his eyes, took a deep breath, puffed up his cheeks and blew hard.
The faint candlelight trembled slightly under his breath and finally went out. At the same time, Lin Man clapped her hands happily, and the crisp applause echoed in the room.
"Ningning, Mom wishes you a happy birthday again. I hope you are happy every day!" Lin Man's face was filled with a happy smile, and her eyes were full of deep love for her son.
At this time, Song Jingjing, who was sitting next to them, saw this scene and couldn't help but feel it was very novel and interesting.
The corners of her mouth curled up, and she smiled and teased, "Oh my, sister-in-law, you went to Hai City this time and came back. Even the child's birthday has become so ceremonial! It's really eye-catching!"
Yang Huiling also nodded in agreement and said, "That's right. After all, Qingci's wife is a college graduate and has been to such a bustling and bustling city. She has a lot of experience and knowledge, so naturally she has many new ideas and concepts!"
Du Xiaojuan also agreed, "Yeah, who says the child is happy to have Xiaoman as his child? He even made a cake for her birthday to celebrate.
For my children, having a few eggs or a bowl of noodles on their birthdays is a big deal. I often forget when my birthday is.
Lin Man didn't react much to the comments of her aunt and sister-in-law. After her son made a wish and blew out the candles, she quickly pulled out the small candles on the cake.
Huo Yixin and Huo Yingzi said in unison: "Mom/(Aunt), can you give me these small candles?"
"You can play with it if you like, but someone must be supervised when lighting the candles. Children are not allowed to play with fire."
"Okay, I understand."
Huo Yixin excitedly grabbed a handful of small candles and gave half to Huo Yingzi. Huo Rou, who was standing by, started to get anxious when she saw that no one was giving her any.
She was smiling broadly, with a subtle hint of flattery in her eyes. She asked Huo Yixin in an extremely gentle and cautious tone, "Xinxin, can you give me two small candles?"

Seeing that he had seven or eight candles, Huo Yi readily gave two small blue candles to his aunt.
"Here, next time we make orange lanterns, we can stick the small candles into the orange peels."
Huo Rou nodded. "Then I'll go back and put them away first, and use them when the oranges are ripe in the fall."
Huo Yichen gently tugged at his sister Huo Yingzi's slender arm, and said flatteringly with a smile on his face, "Sister, could you please give me two cute little candles? When the oranges are ripe in the fall, I'll make you an exquisite orange lantern!"
Huo Yingzi blinked, thought for a moment, and then thought to herself: Since my brother has solemnly promised to help me make orange lanterns, it wouldn't be a problem to give him two small candles.
So she nodded readily, indicating that she agreed to give the small candle to her brother.
At this moment, Huo Yiwen suddenly interrupted and said, "Brother Chen, we are all real men. If we are going to make this, we have to make a bigger grapefruit lamp to look more impressive!
"And if you put the big candle in the middle, the light will definitely be much brighter than these small candles! Besides, although these small candles are brightly colored and beautiful, they are not very durable and may go out in a short time."
After hearing this, Huo Yichen couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. His cheeks, which had been slightly flushed due to excitement, were now like ripe apples. He pursed his lips shyly.
Lips, then responded softly with a slightly shy tone: "Well... well, it seems that this little candle is indeed more suitable for girls to play with, then let them play with it." After saying that, he scratched the back of his head embarrassedly.
Song Jingjing saw that her son was manipulated by her sister-in-law's son with just a few words. She felt a little unhappy. Why was her son so useless?
Huo Yining didn't care about the candles or not, he was busy cutting the cake.
After cutting off the first piece, Huo Yian handed it to his grandfather, and Huo Li accepted it with a smile.
A ten-inch cake was finally cut into twelve pieces, one for each of Lin Man's four children, Song Jingjing's three older children, grandfather, and parents-in-law. Fourth Aunt gave a piece to her grandson.
Huo Yiningning gave the remaining piece to her mother. Before Lin Man started eating, Du Xiaojuan asked if she could leave a piece for her granddaughter. Lin Man gave her a piece of cake from her bowl.
Seeing that the children were eating happily, Song Jingjing carried Huo Anran to Song Yingzi and said, "Zizi, use a spoon to scoop some for your sister to taste."
Huo Yingzi didn't even have enough to eat herself, so how could she bear to give up the cake in her bowl? She shook her head and said, "Mom, my sister is still young. She can only drink milk and can't eat cake, otherwise she will have diarrhea."
People say that daughters are warm and caring, but Song Jingjing feels that her eldest daughter is annoying and not sensible at all.
Seeing his mother's sullen face, Huo Yichen quickly scooped a piece of cake with a spoon and handed it to her. "Mom, you should try this cream cake too. It's much better than the egg cake sold in the supply and marketing cooperative."
Song Jingjing wanted to say that she didn't want to eat it, but when she saw the yellow peach flesh and cream on it, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva. "Since your little sister can't eat it, Mommy will try this cake to see what it tastes like."
