Chapter 817 (Page 1/2)
Huo Qingci was very conflicted at the moment, wondering why his second brother married such a wife.
Song Jingjing was fine until her second brother returned home, and everything was normal. But after she gave birth to her second, third, and fourth child, her temper changed, often causing chaos and unrest in the house.
I don’t know if it was those trivial family matters that caused her sudden change in temperament, or if she has always been like this.
It was really not convenient for him to interfere in the trivial matters of his brother's family. Besides, he didn't have the energy to care about the trivial affairs of other people's families.
He is leaving tomorrow at noon, so he doesn't have the time to meddle in other people's affairs.
Thinking of this, Huo Qingci suddenly said, "It's getting late. Let's all go back as soon as possible! I have to catch a train tomorrow at noon, so I have to get up early and get ready."
Huo Qingci said this, and Huo Li beside him quickly echoed: "Yes, Qingyan, you should take the children back first! Qingci has to catch a train tomorrow at noon, so he needs to rest early tonight."
Since even the old man has spoken, the rest of the people can't shamelessly stay here even if they are unwilling.
After the family members had left, Huo Qingci hurriedly cleaned up the house with Lin Man.
After a busy time, the children washed up and went back to their rooms to sleep. The two of them washed up without stopping and returned to their rooms early.
Inside the house, Lin Man carefully picked up the suitcase that Huo Qingci brought back and carefully packed the clothes he needed for the trip.
Huo Qingci will not be back for at least a year after leaving the capital. It is unclear whether she will have time to go to Hai City this winter. Perhaps they will not see each other for the next year.
When she thought about the pain of separation she was about to face, Lin Man couldn't help but feel an indescribable sadness and reluctance in her heart.
Now, it takes a day and a night to go to Hai City by train, which is really a bit difficult to endure. If you want to take a plane, you have to ask your unit for a letter of introduction, which is very troublesome.
If she could easily buy a plane ticket with money, Lin Man would have bought the ticket and taken the time to go to Hai City to meet Huo Qingci.
Since she can afford a soft sleeper, she can naturally afford a plane ticket.
Huo Qingci slowly stood up and walked lightly towards Lin Man who was standing in the middle of the room and busy packing clothes.
He came up to her, leaned down slightly, and coaxed her with a soft and gentle voice: "Manman, it's not too late to sort these clothes until tomorrow morning. Don't be busy now. Come and sit with me for a while and have a good chat."
Hearing Huo Qingci's words, Lin Man paused, then gently closed the suitcase that was already full of clothes and fastened the buckle.
Then, she raised her head and met Huo Qingci's eyes full of concern and tenderness. The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile.
Then, she reached out and took Huo Qingci's big hand, led him to the bed, and they sat down side by side.
As soon as she sat down, Lin Man couldn't wait to ask, "Okay, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Huo Qingci took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Manman, I might be away for a while again. I'll have to ask you to take good care of the children and grandpa at home once again."
After saying that, he looked at Lin Man with guilt.
Hearing this, Lin Man rolled her eyes at Huo Qingci and complained, "Humph, even if you were at home, wouldn't I still have to take care of them? What's the difference?"

However, despite her slightly dissatisfied tone, her eyes revealed her deep love for her family and her understanding and support for her husband's work.
At this moment, Huo Qingci seemed to have suddenly thought of something and said quickly:
"Manman, how about this? After you move into the courtyard, you can hire a nanny to take care of the housework, such as cooking, washing clothes, and cleaning.
This way, you can reduce your burden, have more time to rest and relax, and take better care of your family's daily life. What do you think? "
After hearing this, Lin Man couldn't help but fall into deep thought. She thought about it carefully and felt that this suggestion was indeed a good one.
Because I plan to officially open the store in the second half of the year, I will definitely be very busy then, and I am afraid it will be difficult to spare much time to take care of the daily lives of the old and young at home.
Moreover, it is not a long-term solution to always rely on Huo Qinghuan for help.
After all, Huo Qinghuan is not young anymore, and maybe he will fall in love one day, so naturally he won’t be able to help as often as before.
So, after a brief and careful consideration, Lin Man nodded slightly and agreed to find a live-in nanny.
"Well, we should indeed find a nanny to take care of grandpa and the children's daily life.
Although it would be a little inconvenient to have a stranger suddenly in the house, fortunately we have a lot of courtyard houses.
"If I need to take supplies from the space to the store in the future, I can just put them in the second courtyard near the old house. Or, I can store them in the Xie Mansion mansion." Lin Man said softly.
Huo Qingci pondered for a moment and nodded repeatedly, "Well, Manman arranged it very well.
In this way, not only the problem of storing materials is solved, but also these idle house resources can be fully utilized.
Come to think of it, it was really thanks to your foresight that we purchased another small courtyard with two entrances near the old house.
Fortunately, you didn't rent out the two mansions to others, which would have saved you a lot of trouble."
Lin Man smiled slightly and continued to explain, "As for these courtyard houses, I never thought of renting them out from the very beginning.
You may not know that the old man of the Xie family went through a lot of hardships and finally took back this old house from the tenant.
I thought that if we accidentally rented these houses to people with ulterior motives, they would not only wantonly destroy the houses and facilities, but also build structures without authorization.
It is even very likely that they will rack their brains and use any means to try to seize the ownership of the property.
Hearing this, Huo Qingci nodded thoughtfully, and then suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "Manman, when are we going to take down the plaque hanging above the door of the Xie Mansion?"
Lin Man pondered for a moment, then answered decisively, "Don't demolish it for now. When my business is booming, I'll put up the Huo family's plaque."
Lin Man didn't want the Huo family to know for the time being that in addition to buying a three-story shop on Wangfujing Street, she also bought two courtyard houses.
