Chapter 748 (Page 1/2)
Lin Man looked at Huo Qingci's proud face and couldn't help feeling curious.
After all, she had never seen Huo Qinghuan praise female comrades with her own eyes, so she naturally had no idea what the real situation was.
However, out of politeness and concern, she smiled and said, "Since you're so sure about her, why don't you bring her home and let everyone meet her? Oh, and by the way, tell your sister-in-law what your girlfriend's name is?"
Huo Qingci's face was filled with a happy smile, and he answered without hesitation: "Sister-in-law, my boyfriend's name is Su He, which is the 'He' character for lotus."
Lin Man nodded slightly when she heard that, and smiled thoughtfully, "These days, girls always seem to like to include words like flowers and plants when naming themselves. Judging from this, my guess is that your partner must be as beautiful as a flower!" As she spoke, she couldn't help but teasing Huo Qinghuan.
Huo Qinghuan nodded hurriedly and replied, "Yes, sister-in-law is absolutely right! My girlfriend's facial features are indeed good. Although not as good as sister-in-law, she is obviously much prettier than sister-in-law."
When Lin Man heard this, she was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter. She thought to herself, this guy is really mean. Why would he suddenly compare his partner with her and her sister-in-law Song Jingjing?
Let's talk about Song Jingjing. Although the scar on her face has become much lighter now, she can't be called beautiful in any way.
Especially since she gave birth to the twin daughters, her figure has become seriously out of shape, and she has become so fat that she looks like a round ball.
Not only that, her originally pretty face has now gained a lot of fat due to weight gain, making her look much older than her actual age.
"Qinghuan, if you have time, bring your partner to us next time."
"Sister-in-law, I'm going to go back and talk to my parents about this. If they agree, I'll bring Su He back next week."
"Okay, bring your partner back and we'll take a good look at him for you."
After getting off the car, Lin Man gave Huo Qinghuan a pound of Poria cocos cake to take back and then parted ways with him.
When she got home, she told her grandfather about the shop. Her grandfather said that if she really liked it, he would call the shop owner in the afternoon. Lin Man nodded in agreement.
After finishing the conversation about the shop, Lin Man suddenly seemed to remember something important. She looked at Huo Li with shining eyes and said, "Grandpa, did you know? Qinghuan is back! I actually took the same bus with him today."
Upon hearing the news, Huo Li nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, and slowly responded, "Well, the child has indeed not been back for a long time. It's time for him to go home and visit."
Lin Man followed up with a hint of curiosity and excitement on her face, "Grandpa, there's even more exciting news! Qinghuan told me in the car that he's in love!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Li's originally calm face instantly showed surprise. He raised his voice and asked, "What? Didn't he swear before that he didn't want to have a girlfriend when he went to college? How come he's suddenly talking about dating?"
Seeing Grandpa's reaction, Lin Man couldn't help but laugh out loud. She said jokingly, "Haha, Grandpa, you look so surprised. As the saying goes, when love comes, nothing can stop it!"
Huo Li calmed down and asked, "Where is that girl from? Who are her family members? How old is she this year?"
Facing Grandpa's barrage of questions, Lin Man answered calmly, "Grandpa, Qinghuan told me that the woman's name is Su He, and she was born the same year as Qinghuan. She has quite a few brothers and sisters, and she's the fourth child in the family.
She used to be an educated youth in the countryside. Later, she was admitted to university through her own efforts and then returned to the city.
Her parents are ordinary workers. Her two brothers are already working, her sister is married, her brother is a soldier, and her youngest sister is still studying at school.
"Same age as Qinghuan, and used to be an educated youth in the countryside? Xiaoman, do you think the person Qinghuan is dating has been married before?"
"Grandpa, why do you think so?"
Huo Li took a deep breath, his weather-beaten face showing deep worry. He frowned and said slowly:
"Old Tan's granddaughter was admitted to a normal school and started dating a young man who had returned to the city as an educated youth.
But who would have thought that her boyfriend had already been married when he was an educated youth in the countryside! Moreover, he even had two children!
You said this lesbian named Su He is about the same age as our Qing Huan. I'm really worried that Qing Huan will be deceived like Old Tan's granddaughter.
Lin Man hurriedly whispered to comfort him, "Grandpa, don't worry too much. Our Qinghuan is so smart, how could he be fooled so easily?

But then again, if Grandpa is really worried, and we don't know whether that girl named Su He has ever had a love relationship in the countryside, how about we send someone to the place where she went to the countryside to find out and investigate?"
Huo Li nodded slightly in agreement. "Well, you do make sense. We really need to investigate Su He thoroughly. Regardless of whether she's had a partner before, we must get to the bottom of the situation."
The most important thing is to understand whether she has any problems with her character, and what the character of her family is like. After all, finding a partner is no small matter; it affects Qinghuan's lifelong happiness."
Huo Qinghuan dragged his slightly tired body into the house slowly, took off the heavy schoolbag from his shoulders, gently placed it on the chair by the door, and then put the luggage in his hand aside.
After doing all this, he carefully picked up the bag of Poria cocos cakes that Lin Man gave him, walked briskly towards the kitchen, and came to his busy mother Xiao Ya.
"Mom, this is the Poria cocos cake that your sister-in-law brought you." Huo Qinghuan said with a smile on his face and handed the bag in his hand to Xiao Ya.
Xiao Ya stopped what she was doing, looked at her son in surprise and asked, "Did you go to your sister-in-law's house?"
Huo Qinghuan quickly shook his head and explained, "No, it was just a coincidence today. I actually got on the same bus as my sister-in-law!
My sister-in-law bought three pounds of pastries at the Wangfujing Bakery today. When she saw me on the bus, she gave me one pound to bring back for you to try.
After hearing what her son said, Xiao Ya showed a relieved smile on her face. She nodded and said, "Oh, so that's how it is! By the way, Qinghuan, have you been studying too hard at school recently? Why do I feel like you seem to have lost a lot of weight..." As she spoke, Xiao Ya looked carefully at her son's thin face.
Huo Qinghuan smiled and reached out her hand to gently stroke her face, "Oh, Mom, look at my face, how can I look thinner? Please stop worrying about me all day long!"
I eat very well at school. The food in the cafeteria is varied and delicious, and I can fill my stomach every day.
My sister-in-law is also very kind to me. She sent me some homemade meals. You see, I am being taken care of perfectly. How could I possibly lose weight?
As soon as he finished speaking, he winked at Xiao Ya playfully, with a bright smile on his face.
Hearing this, Xiao Ya couldn't help but reveal a relieved expression. She nodded and said, "I see, your sister-in-law is indeed a kind-hearted person. She cares about you so much, you must remember to thank her!"
Huo Qinghuan nodded repeatedly and replied, "Yes, Mom, don't worry! I have a plan in mind. Oh, Mom, I have something very happy to tell you - I've found a partner! My partner is just like my sister-in-law, not only beautiful but also kind, gentle and considerate."
These words were like a thunderclap that exploded in Xiao Ya's ears. She widened her eyes and asked in surprise, "What? Qing Huan, you've already found a partner?
"Tell me, what does she do for a living? Also, why do you think she is so kind and beautiful? What thoughtful things has she done for you?"
"Mom, my girlfriend is a college student like me. Her name is Su He. She's the same age as me. She was also an educated youth in the countryside before and returned to the city after she passed the college entrance examination.
She has many brothers and sisters, she is the fourth child, and her parents are both workers..." Huo Qinghuan kept introducing Su He to his mother.
Xiao Ya already knew a certain amount about Su He's family background, but deep down, she was most curious about Su He's appearance and character. After all, her son had personally praised his girlfriend, saying she was just as beautiful and kind-hearted as his eldest daughter-in-law, Lin Man!
"Qinghuan, after hearing what you said, I'm even more curious! You always say that your girlfriend is not only beautiful, but also kind-hearted. Could it be that she looks even better than your sister-in-law?" Xiao Ya asked Huo Qinghuan with a smile.
After hearing this, Huo Qinghuan was slightly startled, then he shook his head slightly and responded:
"Oh, Mom, don't think like that! Actually, she is not as tall as my sister-in-law, and her figure is not as graceful as my sister-in-law's.
Although her facial features are not as bright and beautiful as the eldest sister-in-law, she can still be considered beautiful. At least I think she is much prettier than the second sister-in-law."
"Oh? You said she is beautiful and kind-hearted, so what did she do to make you think she is kind?" Xiao Ya continued to ask.
"She risked her own life to rescue a female classmate from the lake. Isn't saving a life a sign of kindness?"
