Chapter 422: Will We Hold the Full Moon Banquet? (Page 1/2)
The Huo family now clearly knows that Huo Yan is suffering from misogyny, so she must not be forced to get married, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.
Therefore, after seeing Huo Yan's condition, Huo Wenjing and Huo Xi felt secretly sad and were terrified of being urged to get married by their parents.
To be honest, every Chinese New Year, they are always urged by their parents to get married and are arranged to participate in various blind date activities. This feeling is really unbearable.
What makes them even more troubled is that their parents always like to compare them with others, which makes them feel more stressed.
Lin Man thought of Huo Qingci's cousins, and a feeling of worry welled up in her heart.
If she got pregnant this time, she would have four children and would undoubtedly face the same dilemma in the future. So, how should she cope? This question gave her a headache and left her feeling very troubled.
At that moment, she suddenly felt a little regretful. Why did she suddenly want to have a third child? Wouldn't this add more burdens to herself? She fell into deep self-doubt.
They say the New Year is a time for excitement and festivities, and this year is certainly quite “exciting”! Alas, why do adults have so many worries?
I hope that by this time next year, everyone who is supposed to get married will have done so, and there will be no more arguments about getting married during the New Year.
Looking at her two sons who were not concerned about anything and were only busy eating fruit snacks, Lin Man's heart softened. It is better to be a child, to live a carefree life without the worries of adults!
Lin Man didn't want to listen to her aunts' complaints, so she simply ran to the kitchen to help her mother-in-law prepare lunch.
After lunch, Huo Li asked Huo Qingci to prepare the New Year gifts and took him, Huo Qinghuan and Huo Yining to pay New Year's greetings to the leader.
Du Xiaojuan and Yang Huiling couldn't help but huddle together and complain in a low voice. Yang Huiling said with a pout:
"Father-in-law, what a fool! Why did he bring Huo Qingci to pay New Year's greetings to the leader again this year? Not only did he bring him, but he also brought Huo Qinghuan and Huo Yining."
Du Xiaojuan frowned. "Yes, Third Brother brought all the descendants of this branch of his family to see the world, except your Wen Jing and our Huo Xi. Father-in-law is really partial."
Lin Man knew that the more family members there were, the more troubles there would be. Fortunately, everyone did not live together every day. If they did, there would be more conflicts.
She made up her mind that after her son got married, she would give all the wives away, leaving no one behind, so that she could have peace of mind.
Lin Man felt that they were a bit noisy, so she simply took her youngest son back to the room to rest and came out again when it was time to prepare dinner. Anyway, her parents-in-law were at home, so they could entertain her fourth uncle and younger uncle's family.
Lin Man walked up to Xiao Ya with her youngest son in her arms and said, "Mom, An An is sleepy. I'll take him to sleep."
Xiao Ya nodded, "Okay, take An An to rest. Your father and I will entertain any guests who come to our house."
"Thank you, Mom."
Lin Man carried Huo Yian back to the room, helped him take off his clothes and shoes, and put him in the quilt to coax him into a nap.
The little guy was squirming in the quilt, burying his head in the quilt and then sticking it out.
"An An, go to sleep."
"Mom, I want you to sleep with me."
Lin Man smiled helplessly, then took off her clothes and lay on the bed.
When Huo Yian saw Lin Man lying down, he quickly climbed into her arms and said coquettishly, "Mom, I don't want to get married in the future. I just want to be with you forever."
Lin Man gently pinched the little guy's rosy cheeks and said softly, "An An, how can you say such a stupid thing? Everyone has to get married, no one will be single forever.
Your aunt Huo Yan just hasn't met the right person yet, so her mind is not very clear, but when she wakes up, she will definitely find someone to marry.
So, don't let your imagination run wild like they do. You should have fun now, study hard when you go to school, and then consider marriage when you're old enough to get married. Do you understand?"
Huo Yian nodded obediently and responded, "Oh, I see."
After a while, Huo Yian asked curiously again: "Mom, are you pregnant with a little sister? Dad said you would give birth to a cute little sister for me and my brother."
Lin Man smiled and stroked Huo Yian's head, and replied: "Yes, Mom will give birth to a brother and a sister for you. After they are born, you and your brother must take good care of them, okay?"
Huo Yian blinked his big eyes and frowned in distress, "Mom, but I'm still a child and I don't know how to take care of a baby! But when I grow up, I will definitely hug my sister and brother."
Lin Man hugged her youngest son and kissed his little face, "Well, my An An is such a good boy."
Lin Man became more determined at this moment. No matter what would happen to the children in the future, she would definitely give birth to these two children safely. With a good baby like An An, she would not be afraid of having two more.
Lin Man fell asleep while thinking, and when she woke up, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
She quickly got up, dressed her son, and took him into the space to go to the bathroom. When she came out, her grandfather returned with Huo Qingci and his group.
In the morning, Huo Li was still fretting over his grandchildren's marriages, but in the afternoon, a smile appeared on his face. It seemed that his grandfather had once again received the approval of the chief.
Lin Man walked up to Huo Qingci and asked in a low voice: "Grandpa seems to be in a good mood right now!"
Huo Qingci smiled and nodded, "Yes, Grandpa is in a good mood. The chief saw Ningning and said that Grandpa has a successor.
Grandpa was delighted when he heard this. The chief then asked Ningning what he wanted to do when he grew up. Ningning said he wanted to be a general and be more powerful than his grandfather. The chief then told me to train Ningning well in the future.
"So that's how it is. Your fourth aunt and your youngest aunt have been grumbling all afternoon because Grandpa took you to pay New Year's greetings to the chieftain."
"Ignore them. They'll be gone tomorrow morning."
My fourth uncle and younger uncle didn’t have a house in the city, but their father-in-law lived in the city, so they could only stay in the courtyard for one night and go to pay New Year’s greetings to them the next day.
The next morning, Huo Junlin and Huo Junheng took their wives and children to visit their parents-in-law to wish them a happy new year. At ten o'clock in the morning, Huo Junmo took her family back to her parents' home to wish them a happy new year. Song Jingjing also went back to her parents' home with her children to wish them a happy new year.
The weather was cold, and Xiao Ya originally thought of asking Song Jingjing to leave the child at home and let her go back to her parents' home to pay New Year's greetings and come back early.
As a result, Song Jingjing insisted on taking the child to pay New Year's greetings. She brought the child back on the third day of the New Year, and Huo Yichen developed a high fever that night.
Huo Qingci and Huo Junshan, father and son, both went back to work, while Xiao Ya stayed in the courtyard to take care of Song Jingjing and her son, because they were going to hold a full-moon banquet for Huo Yichen on the fifth day of the New Year.
Now that Huo Yichen is sick, should we still hold the full moon party?
Song Jingjing looked at her son, whose face was red with fever, and cried, "Mom, Chenchen has a fever."

"Jingjing, don't worry, we'll take him to see a doctor right now."
The weather was very cold these two days, and it snowed for two days. Song Jingjing ignored the advice and went back to her parents' home with her child who was not even a month old. On the way there and back, her son might have been exposed to the cold wind, so he caught a cold and had a fever.
Lin Man knew that Huo Yichen had a fever, so she sent them a thermometer. When they took Huo Yichen's temperature, they found that his fever was 39.5℃. If the fever continued, he would probably die.
Lin Man took out a packet of baby antipyretic medicine from the medical station in the space, mixed it with water and fed it to Huo Yichen.
She then accompanied them to the hospital, and let Huo Qinghuan take care of her two little ones to sleep.
When they arrived at the hospital, Huo Yichen's temperature had dropped to 38.3℃. Lin Man told the doctor that he had taken antipyretics an hour ago.
The doctor used a stethoscope to listen to the moist rales in Huo Yichen's lungs and diagnosed him with pediatric bronchopneumonia. He said he needed to be treated in the hospital for a few days.
Song Jingjing was panicked. How could her son get bronchopneumonia at such a young age?
This scared her. She couldn't believe the fact and looked at her son in her arms with tears in her eyes, feeling heartbroken.
The fifth day of the Lunar New Year was supposed to be a festive day, and their family was planning to hold a lively full-moon banquet for Huo Yichen, but unexpectedly the little guy suddenly fell ill with severe bronchopneumonia and needed to be hospitalized.
In this way, the little guy stayed in the hospital for a week, and in the end he couldn't even have his full moon banquet.
Xiao Ya was very worried that Song Jingjing would not be able to take care of the child. After all, she was still young and lacked experience.
So, as soon as her grandson was discharged from the hospital, she took him back to the army without hesitation and took care of him personally.
Originally, Song Jingjing planned to live with her child at her mother's house for half a year, but now she can only return to the military area with her mother-in-law.
"Jingjing, don't worry too much. I have already taken leave and can help you take care of the baby for half a year. When Yi Chen is more than seven months old, you can find someone to help take care of the baby!" Xiao Ya gently comforted Song Jingjing.
"Okay, Mom. Thank you..." Song Jingjing nodded gratefully.
In fact, she knew in her heart that without the help and support of her mother-in-law, she really didn't know what to do.
Song Jingjing could only accept the reality. She knew that she had no experience in taking care of children, and if she was not careful, the child might get sick.
But my mother-in-law is different. She has rich experience in parenting. With her help in taking care of the child, Yi Chen at home may not get sick so easily.
Her son has been smaller than other children since birth and is in relatively weaker physical condition.
If the child gets sick frequently, his physical condition will only get worse and worse, and may even affect his development. Song Jingjing had no choice but to move in with her parents-in-law.
Huo Yining turned four years old on the Lantern Festival. In order to celebrate his birthday, Lin Man prepared a table full of his favorite dishes and also made him a fruit cake.
After the Lantern Festival, Lin Man went to the hospital for a check-up because she hadn't had her period for half a month. Although she had expected to be pregnant, she still wanted to go to the hospital for a check-up.
After finding out she was pregnant, she went home and logged into her account to ask Xiaozhi for a scan. "Xiaozhi, Xiaozhi, am I really pregnant with two children?"
Xiaozhi turned around in circles and said, "Master, there are indeed two embryos implanted in the back wall of your uterus."
[I really don't have any morning sickness symptoms right now. If it weren't for the urine test, I would really doubt that I was pregnant.]
[Master, there's no need to doubt it. You're already pregnant with two genius babies. Just wait for the right time for them to come to fruition!]
[Okay, Xiaozhi. By the way, is there a high risk of me getting twins this time?]
[Master, as long as you take the poison and don't physically attack the baby in your belly, they will always be healthy.]
Lin Man was finally relieved. As long as there were no other problems with the two babies in her belly, she would just wait for the flowers to bloom.
When Huo Qingci got home from get off work that night, Lin Man secretly told him, "Qingci, I went to the hospital for a check-up today, and I'm pregnant with two children."
Huo Qingci was a little excited, a little nervous, and asked, "Really?"
"Really? You can take my pulse, right? You can try taking my pulse now."
Huo Qingci felt the pulse of both of Lin Man's hands and found it was indeed slippery, as fast and smooth as pearls falling on a jade plate. The alternation of strong and weak pulses indicated that she was pregnant with twins.
He simply couldn't believe that the fertility pills in his wife's space were so effective. If he sold this medicine, it would definitely be snatched up.
For the safety of my daughter-in-law, this medicine must not be given out. My daughter-in-law's pregnancy with twins can only be regarded as a natural conception.
"Manman, we really are having a daughter this time. That's great. But having twins is more risky than having a single baby. Don't ride your bike when you go out next time, or you'll be in trouble if you fall."
"I know. I'll walk to your hospital for prenatal checkups next time."
"Next time you go to the hospital for a prenatal checkup, ask Grandpa to ask Uncle Zhang to take you there."
Although he was very stable on a bicycle, he didn't dare to ride his bicycle to take his wife to the hospital. If she fell, it could be fatal.
"Manman, please sit down first. I'll go get you a glass of brown sugar water."
"No, brown sugar water is too sweet, I don't want to drink it."
"Then you take a rest first. I'll tell Grandpa the good news and make him happy."
Lin Man knew that the person Huo Qingci cared about most was his grandfather, so she just let him be. Grandpa would find out sooner or later anyway.
It’s better to know it earlier so that you can find someone to come back early to help with housework and take care of the children.
Huo Qingci went to his grandfather's room and saw his grandfather teaching his son to play chess. He walked over and sat beside the bed.
Seeing that his eldest grandson was not with his wife, Huo Li ran to his room, but he didn't know what he wanted to do.
Seeing his grandson's mouth curled up, Huo Li couldn't help but ask, "Did you pick up some money?"
"Grandpa, our family has another happy event this year."
"I know that Wen Jing and Xiao Xi have been on blind dates recently, and my subordinates introduced them to them."
"Grandpa, I mean there's going to be another happy event in our little family."
Huo Li looked at the chessboard and said nonchalantly, "What's the happy event in your family? Didn't you just get promoted? Could it be that Xiaoman is pregnant again?"
Huo Qingci nodded, "Yes, Grandpa. Manman is pregnant. This time she's pregnant with twins. I took her pulse carefully, and she might be carrying twins, a boy and a girl."
Huo Li's eyes trembled, and after casually moving a chess piece, he said excitedly: "Qingci, what you said is true."
"Absolutely true."
"Okay, okay! Xiao Man is pregnant with a boy and a girl. She is a great contributor to our family. You have to take good care of her."
"Grandpa, I will."
