Chapter 499: No Sadness, No Joy (Page 1/2)
Huo Qingci took Huo Yingzi back to his grandfather's room to check her and found that her belly button was bulging.
Huo Qingyan asked him, "Brother, how is my Zizi?"
After Huo Qingci touched his niece's belly, he helped her put her clothes down and wrapped her in a blanket.
He turned around and looked at Huo Qingyan, saying, "Qingyan, Zizi's belly button is bulging, didn't you notice?"
"Jingjing said she was like this when she was a child, but it became concave as she grew up."
"Zizi's belly button might be bulging because of indigestion, a cold stomach, or an umbilical hernia, which is why she's crying and making a fuss.
Ask your sister-in-law to eat less food that causes bloating, and eat less cold fruits in the winter. If you want to eat fruit, you can make fruit soup."
Huo Qingyan was puzzled. "Zizi's discomfort has nothing to do with my wife."
Huo Qingci rolled his eyes at Huo Qingyan and said, "Zizi is still drinking milk. Do you think it's okay? Okay, I'll get you some navel stickers later. You can put them on Zizi and see if she still cries."
Huo Qingci picked up his niece, put her in Huo Qingyan's arms, and walked out of his grandfather's room.
Seeing Lin Man peeling melon seeds for her son, he walked over and said to her, "Manman, Zizi has a bit of an umbilical hernia. Could you please help me find some navel patches?"
When Lin Man heard what Huo Qingci said, she immediately put down the melon seeds in her hand and stood up. She walked quickly to the backyard, washed her hands, and returned to her room.
Huo Qingci followed closely behind and gently closed the door. Then, Lin Man took Huo Qingci into the space.
As soon as she entered the space, Lin Man couldn't wait to ask Huo Qingci: "What happened to your niece?"
Huo Qingci frowned and thought carefully before answering, "It could be that the stomach caught a cold and a draft, or it could be caused by indigestion. Dinggui navel patches are very effective for Xinxin and the others. You can give some to Zizi to try."
Lin Man nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, the Ding Gui navel patches in the medicine box are all used up. I'll go to the warehouse to see if there are any left."
After saying that, she quickly turned and walked towards the warehouse, searching carefully on the medicine shelf. After a while, she came back with a few boxes of Dinggui navel patches.
Then, Lin Man removed all the boxes and instructions, and carefully put the Ding Guier navel patch into a small bag, and finally handed the bag to Huo Qingci.
Lin Man smiled and said, "Let's go out!"
The two of them left the space together. As soon as they left the room, Huo Qingci handed the Dinggui Umbilical Patch and Baoying Powder to Huo Qingyan without hesitation.
"Give this to Zizi. If she keeps crying, give her another patch. Also, give her some Baoying Powder."
"Okay, big brother."
Huo Qingyan brought his wife and child back to his home, and couldn't wait to put the Dinggui navel patch on his daughter's belly.
After putting the stickers on, he said to his daughter, "Be good, Zizi. Go to bed early tonight and don't cry."
Huo Yichen, who was standing aside, said, "Dad, if my sister isn't well behaved, give her to uncle. We can exchange a sister with uncle."
Huo Qingyan turned around and glared at Huo Yichen, saying, "You're talking nonsense, kid. If I have to change someone, I'll change you. Give Ningning to me as my son."
"Wow wow wow... Daddy is bad, I don't want Daddy."
Song Jingjing was speechless. It was New Year's Day, and she had no idea what Huo Qingyan was doing to force her son to cry.
She bent down and picked up Huo Yichen, coaxing him softly, "Chenchen, be good, don't cry, Mommy won't let anyone swap you."

Huo Yichen hugged Song Jingjing's neck and choked with sobs: "Mom, let's change Dad. I don't want this Dad. I want Uncle. Uncle gives me a lot of candy..."
Huo Qingyan's face was filled with black lines. If it wasn't the New Year, he really wanted to slap Huo Yichen's butt hard.
He refuses to acknowledge him as his father just because of a few candies, and even wants his elder brother to be his father. What a brat.
Huo Qingyan was too lazy to pay attention to him and instructed Song Jingjing, "Jingjing, you take care of Zizi. I'll go get some water for our son to wash his face and feet. Let's go to bed early tonight." After that, he turned and left.
Song Jingjing gently put her son down, gently helped her daughter take off her outer cotton jacket, and carefully changed her into a clean diaper.
Huo Yichen stood by the bed, looking somewhat lonely, and asked cautiously, "Mom, does Dad dislike me?"
"Little fool, your father loves you the most, how could he not like you? You are his son."
Song Jingjing smiled and comforted him, but she knew in her heart that Huo Qingyan didn't dislike his child, but was not very happy with some of his son's bad habits.
Thinking back to last night, Huo Qingyan held his daughter in his arms and coaxed her all night long, pacing back and forth in the room with her in his arms. Song Jingjing was deeply moved by his patience and love.
If it were any other man, it would be difficult for him to be so meticulous and patient.
She had to admit that her children were indeed not as well-behaved and sensible as her eldest sister-in-law's children, and it was understandable that Qingyan favored her eldest sister-in-law's children.
Who wouldn’t like those cute, obedient and smart children?
Even when she saw the children of her eldest sister-in-law, she couldn't help but feel happy. However, no matter how much she loved them, these children did not belong to them after all.
What she loves most in her heart is always her own flesh and blood.
Especially her son Huo Yichen. After all, this child was raised by her, and Huo Qingyan did not participate in her son's growth process in those two years. She placed all her deep longing for her husband on her son.
Therefore, her emotional investment in her son and daughter is naturally different.
When her son was born, she thought Qingyan finally had a successor, and her heart was filled with joy.
When her daughter was born, she felt neither sad nor happy, because she initially thought it might be a son, but who would have thought it would be a daughter.
My mother-in-law gave birth to a daughter. She hopes to have a son as her second child, and it would be best if she had a daughter as her third child, so that her daughter will not be ignored.
She also discovered that compared to his son and daughter, Huo Qingyan cared more about his daughter.
Perhaps it was because Huo Qingyan had been involved since she became pregnant with her daughter, personally experiencing every moment of her pregnancy to childbirth.
Huo Qingyan boiled some hot water, helped his son wash his face and feet, and then continued to boil water for himself to take a bath.
When I returned to bed, I found that my son and daughter were both asleep.
Huo Qingyan said proudly, "Jingjing, our Zizi didn't cry tonight."
Song Jingjing glanced at him and said, "Keep your voice down. She just fell asleep after eating."
"It seems the navel patch big brother gave me is very effective. Jingjing, big brother said that since you are breastfeeding, you should eat less of those bloating foods to avoid affecting Zizi. Zizi is still young, her intestinal motility is slow, and she is prone to bloating..."
"Then tell me, what foods cause flatulence? Don't you say you can eat whatever you want after you've finished your confinement period? Just avoid chili peppers!"
