Chapter 492 Don’t Mention It (Page 1/2)
Once all the children go to school, she will be truly liberated, and cooking and doing housework will not be a difficult task for her.
Moreover, her son Ningning has started helping her with housework since he started elementary school. Anan follows suit and will also take the initiative to help wash dishes, sweep the floor, and wipe the table.
Although the children are not as efficient as the adults in their work, at least they are willing to try. As long as they are willing to do it, Lin Man will not stop them, but will give them encouragement and support.
Huo Junshan felt guilty for not being able to hold a third-day baptism banquet for his daughter, so he approached Xiao Ya to discuss the matter: "Xiao Ya, when Rourou is one month old, how about we hold a full-moon banquet for her?"
Xiao Ya thought that since she became pregnant, she has been the focus of attention of people in the compound. If she holds a banquet at this time, it may cause unnecessary trouble.
Therefore, she decided to wait until next year when her daughter turns one year old to hold a birthday party for her. By then, perhaps those people's attention will have decreased a lot.
After Xiao Ya thought about all these things, she made a decision, "Junshan, I think we should not do it. Let's wait until Rourou turns one next year.
A year later, we'll set up two or three tables and invite your sister, your brother, and the others over."
Huo Junshan naturally understood what Xiao Ya was thinking. After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and agreed, "In that case, let's hold a birthday party for Rourou. Then let Zizi come along to do the one-year-old celebration."
Xiao Ya shook her head. "You'd better not mention this. Although Zizi was born later than Rourou, my daughter-in-law will definitely not agree to have her do the "Zhuazhou" ceremony with Rourou."
Huo Junshan sighed and said, "If they don't want to, forget it. By the way, Xiaoya, Qingci asked us if we wanted Xinxin's old clothes. Qingyan's wife said Xinxin's clothes were beautiful and she wanted some.
Xiao Man said that when you have time, you should go with Qing Yan's wife to pick some out."
Xiao Ya also knew that Lin Man asked them to choose personally instead of sending it to them because she was afraid that her daughter-in-law would say that she was biased.
Well, she took the initiative to choose. Song Jingjing wanted Xinxin's beautiful clothes, so she would pick some old sweaters and old cotton-padded jackets.
"Okay, Jingjing is back from the hospital too. I'll go with her in a week or so!"
Huo Junshan nodded, a smile on his face: "Well, okay, I'll take you there another day.
This time, Xiao Man prepared new clothes for our baby Rou Rou, but didn’t prepare any for Qing Yan, so when you go there, let Xiao Song choose first.”
After hearing this, Xiao Ya couldn't help but roll her eyes at Huo Junshan, and said angrily, "What are you talking about? How could I possibly fight with my daughter-in-law for the child's clothes? Seriously!"
Then, she comforted Huo Junshan in a gentle tone: "Don't worry, since it was our daughter-in-law who took the initiative to make the choice, let her choose first.
It’s okay for our Rourou to wear Xiaowenwen’s old clothes. For children, there’s no gender distinction in what clothes they wear.”
Huo Junshan felt relieved when he heard his wife say this. However, although he loved his little daughter very much, he did not dare to express any opinions at this moment.
Because he knew that the third child in the family was still working as an educated youth in southern Yunnan, where the living conditions were extremely difficult, supplies were scarce, and even food, clothing and other necessities were a problem.
Therefore, he had to send all the cloth coupons he had accumulated to his youngest son who was far away in southern Yunnan to ensure that he could live a relatively comfortable life.
On the fifteenth day after giving birth, Xiao Ya handed the baby to Aunt Huang to help take care of, and went out with a green scarf wrapped around her head.

She went to her second son's house, first gave her granddaughter a red envelope, and then took Song Jingjing, who was also in confinement, to her father-in-law's house to find Lin Man.
Lin Man saw her mother-in-law with a green headscarf and her sister-in-law Song Jingjing with a red headscarf. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were walking together in red and green, and she couldn't help laughing.
When Song Jingjing and Xiao Ya entered the room, they saw Lin Man smiling so happily and thought she was happy for giving birth to a daughter for them.
"Mom, sister-in-law, you are here."
Xiao Ya nodded, "Jingjing and I will come over to get Xinxin's clothes when we have time."
Song Jingjing plopped down on the sofa and agreed, "I came with you to get Xinxin's old clothes. Sister-in-law, does Xinxin have many old sweaters from before she was six months old?"
"There are four sets of sweaters and trousers for babies aged 0-3 months, and four sets of sweaters and trousers for babies aged six months."
"Oh, that's great. My mother-in-law and I will each get two sets. Anyway, my daughter Zizi can wear the clothes Chenchen has left over, so we don't have to buy new clothes for Zizi this year."
When Lin Man heard what Song Jingjing said, she frowned subconsciously. Is her sister-in-law a little biased towards boys?
When my daughter was born, I didn't even think of buying her a new set of clothes. I just wanted her daughter to pick up her son's and her daughter Xinxin's old clothes.
Lin Man planned to take out a new cotton-padded jacket. She went back to her room, closed the door, entered the space and took out a yellow cotton-padded jacket for the newborn, and also took out two baby woolen hats.
After leaving the space, she brought all the old clothes she had prepared in advance to the living room.
Song Jingjing looked at the two large woven bags of old clothes on the coffee table, her eyes widening as she asked in surprise, "Sister-in-law, why does your Xinxin have so many old clothes?"
"And Wenwen, sister-in-law, you know that my daughter Qingci has been sterilized and won't have any more children. These clothes will be given away anyway, so why not just take them all out and you and mom can take your time to choose.
If you don’t want the remaining ones, let Xiaohua take them back to her hometown to give them away.”
Song Jingjing smiled awkwardly, "Sister-in-law, Mom and I will choose more."
Lin Man nodded and went back to her room to get out a new cotton-padded jacket and two baby woolen hats for Huo Yingzi.
"Mom, here are two woolen hats, one for Rourou and one for Zizi.
"Sister-in-law, this yellow cotton-padded jacket is for your Zizi to wear during the New Year. I went to the hospital to see you before, so I couldn't bring more things, so I didn't prepare new clothes for Zizi." Lin Man lied casually.
In fact, when she went to the hospital to visit Song Jingjing before, she didn't bring clothes to her niece because she felt that she had done enough favors by getting those nutritional supplements for Song Jingjing.
Now I think about how Song Jingjing favors boys over girls. She doesn't even give her daughter new clothes and only wants her to wear old clothes during the New Year.
She felt a little uncomfortable. She thought that since Song Jingjing came to get her daughter's old clothes this time, it would not be good for her reputation if others knew that all she gave were old clothes.
So she decided to prepare a new cotton-padded jacket for Song Jingjing's daughter.
Song Jingjing never expected that Lin Man not only prepared a brand new woolen hat for her daughter, but also specially selected a very beautiful cotton-padded jacket.
She was so excited that she couldn't close her mouth. She thanked Lin Man repeatedly: "Thank you, sister-in-law, thank you so much. This yellow cotton-padded jacket is so beautiful! I originally planned to let Zizi wear the red cotton-padded jacket my mother made for her during the Chinese New Year.
But now, seeing that my sister-in-law gave my daughter Zizi such a beautiful cotton-padded jacket, of course I have to let her wear it for the New Year."
