Chapter 779: Instigation (Page 1/2)
Since even his mother had forgotten when his brother and sister-in-law celebrated their birthdays, Huo Qingci felt there was no need to continue asking.
He thought for a moment and then said, "Mom, the day after tomorrow morning I will prepare all the necessary dishes and bring them over, then I will go to the neighbor's house to borrow two large tables."
Hearing her son arrange things so systematically, Xiao Ya nodded in agreement and asked, "Have you informed your uncles and aunts about this?"
Huo Qingci quickly replied, "Not yet, Mom. But don't worry, I'll go find my fourth uncle and my younger uncle and tell them the details. As for my uncle, I'll find time to call him and let him know."
Xiao Ya looked at another special product from Hai City on the table and knew that her son was going to give it to his second son's family.
So she said, "You want to go find your uncle, then I'll help you run it. I'll talk to Qingyan and Jingjing later and ask them to come over for dinner on May Day."
Huo Qingci knew that his younger brother had not yet finished get off work and that only his sister-in-law and the nanny were at home taking care of the child, so he simply didn't go over.
"Mom, I bought these snacks and candies especially for Chenchen, Zizi, and the other kids. Please help give them to them later. Oh, and this Hero pen is also for Chenchen. Thank you for your hard work!"
Xiao Ya glanced at the pile of gifts on the table and replied with a smile, "I see. I'll go over after Yi Chen and the others finish school. Today is Saturday, and we didn't have classes this afternoon, but I don't know why we have to make up for it. Could the school also be closed for May Day?"
Huo Qingci couldn't help but frown, thinking secretly in his heart. According to the school rules, the children have a half-day break every Saturday afternoon.
But could it be that these little ones have to make up for half a day of classes in the morning? Could it be that this is so they can have an extra day off for the upcoming May Day holiday?
Huo Qingci slapped his forehead suddenly, and suddenly realized: "Oh! If Mom hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten that today is Saturday. The children should have a half-day holiday today, Saturday, but I didn't expect to have to make up for it. I guess they will have a holiday on May Day. It seems that I should prepare some extra fruits and snacks for that day."
"I heard that the workers have a day off, but I didn't expect that students also have a day off..." Xiao Ya agreed with a smile.
Huo Qingci also initially thought that May Day had nothing to do with the children, but later he thought that since the workers were having a holiday, there was nothing wrong with the school having one as well.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He had previously vowed to his wife that the children had no holidays at all, so he couldn't accompany her back to the courtyard to celebrate.
Now it seems that if the May Day holiday really comes, then he can definitely take the children back tomorrow. After all, the courtyard house is much more spacious than his parents' home, and it will definitely be very lively when the whole family gets together.
"Mom, I'm going to look for my fourth uncle and the others. You go ahead and do your work. I'm leaving now."
"Okay, go ahead!"
Xiao Yawei looked at the clock on the wall and found that there was only about half an hour left before the children finished school.
As soon as Huo Qingci left, she quickly got up and began to pack up the gifts she had just brought.
After a while, she took the gifts from her eldest son to her family back to the room, picked up the gifts from her second son's family, hung them on the handlebars of her bicycle, and went to the nursery to pick up her daughter and granddaughter, and then went to her second son's house.

Xiao Ya held her lovely daughter Huo Rou's hand in her left hand, her granddaughter Huo Yingzi's hand in her right hand, and a big bag hung on her shoulder. She slowly walked into the door of her second son Huo Qingyan's house.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw the nanny Huang Lianying squatting on the ground folding vegetables, while the naughty little grandson Huo Yifei was sitting alone on the sofa, climbing up the back of the sofa and sliding down again, having a lot of fun.
Xiao Ya released her daughter and granddaughter's hands, gently put down the heavy bag in her hands, walked to the sofa with a smile, and asked gently, "Fei Fei, tell grandma, where are your mother and sister?"
Hearing his grandmother's question, Huo Yifei stopped playing and blinked his eyes as he replied, "Grandma, my two sisters are sleeping in the room, and my mother is chatting with the aunts next door."
Huang Lianying slowly stood up from the ground and explained with a smile: "Grandma Feifei, Xiao Song is not next door. He may have gone out with Xiao Liao."
"Out, then please help me tell her that my eldest son Qingci is back, and the day after tomorrow is my eldest daughter-in-law's birthday. My son will set up a few tables for his daughter-in-law in my yard. You can ask Qingyan to bring them all to dinner, and you can come too."
Huang Lianying nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell Xiao Song when she comes back."
Xiao Ya suddenly remembered her son's instructions and pointed to the pile of candies and snacks on the table. "These are the specialties Qingci brought back from Hai City. There's also a Hero pen in the bag as a gift for Yi Chen. Please tell them. It's nothing else. I'll take Rourou back first."
Huang Lianying stared at the bulging bag on the table with a smile on her face. She raised the corner of her mouth and nodded slightly, saying, "Grandma Feifei, why don't you stay here and have a simple meal with us? I'll go cook some more rice."
However, Xiao Ya repeatedly waved her hands and refused, "No, no, I have to go back and cook for my old man." After that, she held her daughter Huo Rou's hand tightly and turned to leave.
Huo Yingzi watched her grandmother walk further and further away until she disappeared. Her eyes rolled around, and she hopped to Huo Yifei's side like a little rabbit, encouraging him with a smile on her face:
"Brother, do you know? Uncle just came back and brought us lots of delicious food! Hurry up and open the bag and take a look!"
Huo Yifei, who was bored, instantly became energetic after hearing his sister's words. His eyes lit up and he cheered and jumped off the sofa. He couldn't wait to stretch out his chubby little hands to the bag on the coffee table.
At this moment, Huang Lianying suddenly came to her senses, rushed forward, picked up the bag high up with lightning speed, and put it in a higher place.
After all, Song Jingjing from home hasn't come back yet. If she lets these children play with these gifts as they please, Song Jingjing will definitely blame her when she comes back.
The male host Huo Qingyan is easier to talk to, but the female host Song Jingjing likes to haggle. If it weren't for the "two taels of silver", she would not have swallowed her anger and stayed to continue helping them take care of the children.
It's no wonder that she's afraid of Song Jingjing. Her daughter Huo Yingzi is also afraid of her. Who would have thought that this seemingly innocent little girl is so scheming. She was afraid that her mother would scold her for cheating, so she instigated her brother to do it.
