Chapter 804 Troubles (Page 1/2)
Huo Junshan was excited for several nights in a row, tossing and turning every night.
Either he would mumble some incomprehensible talk in his sleep, or he would wave his hands and feet around as if he was fighting with someone in his dream.
This frightened Xiao Ya, who shared the bed with him. She muttered to herself: What on earth could have happened to this old man? Why did he become so abnormal?
Xiao Ya, who was really worried, decided to go to the military hospital's family building to look for her son Huo Qingci and see if she could get some information from him.
Coincidentally, that afternoon, Huo Qingci and his wife Lin Man just returned from the city after doing some business.
Before the two of them could even step into the house, they saw a familiar figure standing at the door from afar - it was Xiao Ya.
She was holding a bag full of lively loaches and looking at them with a smile on her face.
Sharp-eyed Lin Man was the first to spot her mother-in-law. She quickly quickened her pace to meet her and affectionately called out, "Mom!"
Seeing this, Huo Qingci quickly walked over to open the door, then asked in surprise, "Mom, why are you here so suddenly?"
Xiao Ya smiled and raised the bag in her hand and said, "Wenwen loves fried loaches the most. I went to the market today and picked out several kilograms of fresh loaches. I thought I'd send some over for you to try."
Huo Qingci gently pushed open the door, and the hinges creaked slightly. Then, with a smile on his face, he said to his mother standing outside, "Mom, come in and sit for a while."
Xiao Ya walked into the house carrying a bag with a trace of tiredness on her face. Seeing this, Lin Man hurried forward, took the bag from her mother-in-law, then turned and walked towards the kitchen, preparing to get a basin to put the contents inside.
At this moment, Xiao Ya, who had been silent all the time, suddenly seemed a little hesitant.
Her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but seemed to be hindered by some concerns.
This state lasted for a long time. Finally, she took a deep breath, as if she had made a great decision, and slowly said: "Qingci... I suspect... I suspect your father..."
Hearing this, Huo Qingci's heart suddenly tightened, and countless possibilities flashed through his mind.
Could it be that his father had cheated on him? This thought suddenly made him feel uneasy and anxious.
After all, if this really happened, it would undoubtedly be a huge shock to the whole family. So he hurriedly asked: "Mom, what happened to my dad?"
Xiao Ya frowned slightly, paused for a moment, and then continued, "Your dad has been really crazy these past few nights, and he doesn't sleep well every night.
Or he would talk in his sleep so loudly that the sound could be heard clearly in the next room.

Or he would move his hands and feet around in his sleep, and several times he almost kicked the quilt to the ground.
And last night was even more outrageous. He was actually mumbling and gesticulating, as if he was digging for treasure with someone."
After hearing his mother's description, Huo Qingci's heart finally settled down.
It turned out that the father just had a dream of digging up treasure, and he was not cheating.
However, thinking of his father's loss of composure in his dream, he couldn't help laughing out loud: "Haha, Mom, don't worry, I guess Dad is too excited to see us buy a shop.
He thought I had dug up some treasure and made a fortune, so he kept thinking about it day and night and dreaming about digging for treasure all the time."
At this point, Huo Qingci couldn't help but start thinking about his parents' savings.
According to common sense, given his parents' frugal lifestyle, they should have saved at least eight or nine thousand yuan over the years.
Logically speaking, the family didn't need this little money, so why did he keep dreaming about digging for treasure? It seemed his father also wanted to get rich.
If there is an opportunity to make a fortune in the future, I will take my dad with me when he retires.
After hearing her son's explanation, Xiao Ya felt relieved. She breathed a sigh of relief and said,
"Oh, so that's what happened! I was really scared. I was wondering why your dad seemed so absent-minded and sad lately.
At the time, I was wondering if it was because Jingjing kept coming to our house to borrow money, and your dad was so stressed out that he came up with this unreliable idea of digging for treasure and making a fortune.
At this time, the son frowned and asked, "Mom, is my sister-in-law really coming to you and Dad to borrow money again?"
Xiao Ya nodded helplessly and replied, "That's right, it's almost become a habit. They bring the children to our house every other day, and every day they nag us to lend them money, like a spell.
And every time he said it in such nice words, like "I will definitely respect you two elders in the future" and so on. I am almost getting calluses on my ears from hearing it so much.
But fortunately, your father was very firm this time and refused directly, saying that he would not lend them a penny.
Your father said that once the money goes into her pocket, it's like throwing meat buns at a dog - it's gone and never comes back. Qingci, go and persuade your brother to control his wife."
After hearing what his mother said, Huo Qingci decided to go talk to his brother after dinner.
So he said, "Mom, I'll go find Qingyan after dinner."
"Okay, if nothing else, I'll go back first. I still have to pick up your sister from the nursery."
