Chapter 853 (Page 1/2)
Lin Man waited patiently for her parents-in-law and sister-in-law Huo Rou to finish their baths, then took them to the cafeteria for dinner.
Walking into the spacious and bright cafeteria, the aroma of food hits your nose, making you salivate.
After consulting her parents-in-law, Lin Man ordered two of Haishi's signature dishes and a plate of braised pork. Everyone sat around and happily enjoyed the meal.
After dinner, Huo Junshan planned to go to the hospital to take care of Huo Qingci. He said to Lin Man, "Xiao Man, what is Qingci going to eat tonight? Why don't I bring him the meal now!"
"Dad, Qingci should continue to drink porridge these days. When I get back later, I'll heat up the porridge he didn't finish at noon and bring it over to him."
"Then let me warm it up for you!"
"No need, Dad. I'll do it myself when I get back. If you want to go over and take a closer look, then Ning, go first! I'll go over later and take over and continue to take care of Qingci."
"Okay, I'll go back to the ward to take care of Qingci first. You can bring Qingci some food later."
Lin Man took her mother-in-law and sister-in-law back to the dormitory. Her mother-in-law suggested taking the dirty clothes to the laundry room downstairs to wash them.
So, Lin Man took the initiative to take the responsibility of taking care of her sister-in-law Huo Rou, and prepared to take this opportunity to clean up the house from inside to outside.
Mother-in-law came downstairs carrying two buckets. Lin Man first poured the leftover pork liver porridge from lunch into a casserole and heated it on the coal stove.
Then he went back to his room and concentrated on making the bed and cleaning the dust on the table with a feather duster.
Huo Rou, who was standing aside, was holding a bright red apple obediently, sitting quietly on a small and cute stool, eating it slowly, bit by bit.
She would occasionally look up at the busy Lin Man and ask in a baby voice, "Sister-in-law, when will you return to the capital? I really want to go play with Xinxin."
Hearing the innocent words of her sister-in-law, Lin Man stopped what she was doing, turned around, and replied with a kind and gentle smile on her face:
"Rou Rou, your elder brother is still in the hospital, and your sister-in-law can't go back for the time being. You can also ask your parents to take you to the Siheyuan to play with Xinxin."
However, Huo Rou shook her head and pouted, saying, "But I really miss the delicious dishes my sister-in-law made, like sweet and sour pork, sweet and sour pork ribs... I also want to drink chicken soup and eat chicken drumsticks."
After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but licking her lips, and her greedy look made Lin Man laugh.
Lin Man put down the feather duster and gently stroked Huo Rou's hair. "Okay, okay, since Rourou likes sister-in-law's cooking so much, then sister-in-law will go buy some fresh ingredients tomorrow and make it especially for you, okay?"
Hearing this, Huo Rou danced with joy. She quickly put down the apple she had only taken a few bites of, clapped her hands and cheered, "That's great! Thank you, sister-in-law! I love you the most!"
Lin Man joked, "Then don't you love your second sister-in-law?"
Huo Rou was silent for a moment while holding Apple, then said, "Second sister-in-law doesn't like me or Zizi, she only likes Chenchen and Feifei.
She also said that my mother got cancer because she gave birth to me, and that I was a little troublemaker.”
"What? Why did your second sister-in-law say that to you?"
"She didn't say that. She told Zizi that if I weren't there, Mommy wouldn't be sick. Then Zizi would be Mommy and Daddy's good girl from now on."
Lin Man never expected that Song Jingjing would be so reckless as to say such words to accuse her sister-in-law.
Back then, when her parents-in-law decided to give birth to her sister-in-law, she and Huo Qingyan strongly opposed it.
However, despite their firm attitudes, the parents-in-law finally withstood the pressure and resolutely let their sister-in-law come into this world.
Who could have expected that Song Jingjing has been holding a grudge about this, and still blames her sister-in-law for being born!
In fact, regarding her mother-in-law's desire to give birth to a child at an advanced age, Lin Man is very clear about her position. She is just a daughter-in-law, not her daughter, and she has no right to say too much.
Even though my mother-in-law was already fifty years old at the time, she would never have stopped it by force.
At most, I can analyze the pros and cons carefully to my mother-in-law from a health perspective.
At this moment, Lin Man seemed to suddenly remember something and quickly asked Huo Rou, "Rou Rou, have you told Mom and Dad about these things?"
Huo Rou curled her lips and grumbled unhappily, "Mom was there when Zizi said those words.
Later, my mother secretly hid in her room and cried. Hum, so I hate my second sister-in-law and don't want to go to her house to play.
"She's also very stingy. No matter how many delicious foods we have at home, she never shares even a little bit with me. When I grow up, I won't buy her any delicious food!"

Lin Man had a smile on her face and asked softly again, "Who are you going to buy delicious food for when Rourou grows up?"
Huo Rou blinked and replied cunningly, "As long as someone is nice to me, I will buy them lots of delicious food!"
Hearing this, Lin Man couldn't help but laugh softly, "Haha, what a clever girl! Then you can slowly eat the apple here, and sister-in-law will go outside to see how the pig liver porridge is cooking." After saying that, she turned and walked towards the balcony.
As soon as she arrived on the balcony, Lin Man quickly opened the lid of the casserole.
The porridge in the pot was bubbling and bubbling. Lin Man quickly picked up the cloth hanging on the rack and carefully put the casserole on the rack.
Wait for the porridge to cool down a little, then pour it into the thermos.
Taking advantage of this gap, Lin Man was not idle. She bent down, opened the cabinet door under the shelf, and took out the medicine jar inside.
Then she cleaned it carefully, and then she took out a piece of bone-boosting grass from the space.
She put the bone-bubble grass into the medicine pot, added an appropriate amount of water, and finally placed the medicine pot steadily on the stove and began to boil.
As soon as Huo Junshan entered the ward, Huo Qingci asked him, "Dad, why are you here? Where is my wife?"
"You are only thinking about your wife! I will take care of you tonight so that your wife can have a good sleep."
"Dad, I stayed in bed all night without turning over. I'm not a child, how could I possibly disturb Manman's rest?"
"She has been taking care of you for a few days. Your mother and I are here. Now we take turns to take care of you, okay?"
Huo Qingci wanted to say that he really didn't want his father to take care of his poop and pee. With his father around, he probably wouldn't even be able to pee.
"Dad, where's my dinner?"
"Manman said she'll bring it over later. Qingci, are you hungry? Should I open a can of fruit for you?"
Huo Qingci moved his uninjured leg and slowly turned sideways to look at his father.
"Dad, I don't really feel like eating canned fruit right now, but my mouth is a little dry. Can you make me a cup of honey water?"
Hearing his son's request, Huo Junshan quickly responded, "Okay, just lie down and don't move. Dad will make you some honey water."
As he spoke, he swiftly unscrewed the lid of the honey jar on the table, picked up the spoon beside him, carefully reached into the jar, and gently scooped out two spoonfuls of crystal clear honey with an alluring aroma.
Then, he steadily picked up the thermos beside him and slowly poured the boiling water into the cup.
After the hot water reached the right level, Huo Junshan carefully put the thermos back to its original place, then picked up the jar of honey on the bedside table and examined it carefully, muttering to himself:
"Qingci, this honey is truly extraordinary! I used to think all honeys were similar, just good for moistening the intestines and relieving constipation.
Some time ago, I went to a beekeeper and bought some so-called wild honey, thinking that it would have a similar effect.
"I tried it and it didn't feel anything special. I didn't expect your honey to be so magical. Not only does it moisten the intestines and promote bowel movements, but after drinking it, I feel relaxed and my fatigue is greatly reduced."
After hearing what his father said, Huo Qingci's bright and deep eyes flashed quickly, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a smile.
"Dad, actually this honey was purchased by my classmate from out of town. If you really like this honey, I'll ask Manman to bring you a few more jars later."
Upon hearing this, Huo Junshan quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't bother Manman running back and forth. Just tell Dad the address of your classmate's house, and I can go buy it myself someday. I'm going to buy a few extra cans this time."
The honey was clearly from his wife's space, but he couldn't tell the truth, so he just lied and told him that he bought the honey from a classmate.
Who knew that my dad was serious and wanted to sell a few more cans? How could he cover up his lie?
"Dad, I have a few more jars at home. When Manman gets home, ask her to give them to you. You can go find my classmate. He doesn't know you well and won't sell you this honey."
Huo Qingci paused and changed the subject, "Dad, didn't you say before that you had never seen a Western-style building? When I'm discharged from the hospital, I'll move back to the Western-style villa to recuperate. You and Mom can stay in Hai City for a few more days, and I'll take you to live in the Western-style villa for a few days."
Huo Junshan's eyes suddenly lit up. "Okay, when you're discharged, let's move to the villa to recuperate! Your mother and I will be staying there for a few days thanks to you. I think the honey water is cool enough to drink. Do you want some now?"
"Hey, I'm sitting up now, I can get it myself!"
"If you don't win, I'll get it for you." Huo Junshan stood up and handed the honey water to Huo Qingci.
