Chapter 132 I Was Just Kidding (Page 1/2)
Only after her mother-in-law and her group walked away did Lin Man carry Huo Yining to the backyard.
When they arrived at the door of the room, Lin Man raised her hand and knocked on it gently, asking softly, "Huanhuan, what would you like to eat for lunch? I'm going out to buy some food."
At this moment, Huo Qinghuan, who was lying on the bed sobbing softly, quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hands, then got up from the bed, walked quickly to the door and opened it.
He looked at Lin Man with slightly red and swollen eyes, and replied in a slightly hoarse voice: "Sister-in-law, I want to eat pineapple ribs for lunch."
"Okay, I'll make it for you. I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some meat. Do you want to go shopping with me?"
"Sister-in-law, I want to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a bottle of blue ink."
"Let's go together. Let's buy anything else together."
Lin Man left her son with Liao Sijie and rode her bicycle with Huo Qinghuan to the supply and marketing cooperative, where she bought some meat and ribs. She then took Huo Qinghuan to buy ink and notebooks. When she saw coconut cakes on the counter, she bought two kilograms.
At noon, I made a serving of pineapple pork ribs, a serving of braised pork, and some stir-fried vegetables for Huo Qinghuan.
After Huo Qinghuan finished his meal in no time, he couldn't wait to run out to play.
As soon as she saw Huo Qinghuan leave, Lin Man quickly entered her own space, took out two sets of summer clothes from the supermarket warehouse, and then gently handed them to Liao Sijie.
Liao Sijie was obviously a little surprised. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Thank you, cousin. I have clothes to wear."
Lin Man responded with a smile: "Si Jie, thank you for helping to take care of Ning Ning during this period.
So, these two new sets of clothes are my little token of appreciation for you. Please accept them! Go back to your room and try them on to see if they fit you properly."
After saying that, she gently patted the back of Liao Sijie's hand. Liao Sijie's eyes were a little sore and she didn't know what to say. Ever since those things happened at home, their family hadn't bought any new clothes.
"Thank you, cousin."
She plans to take one of the two new sets of clothes back for her mother to wear after she has a month off, since they are about the same height anyway.
Lin Man didn't know what Liao Sijie was thinking, and even if she knew, she wouldn't say anything. The clothes belonged to her, and she could give them to whoever she liked.
Since she was helping her take care of the children, she would not treat Liao Sijie badly. She would make four sets of clothes for her a year, two sets for summer and two sets for the Chinese New Year.
Huo Qingci was not at home, so Lin Man took Huo Yining to sleep alone, allowing Liao Sijie to have a good night's rest.
Huo Yining is almost half a year old. He no longer needs to drink milk every one or two hours. He is usually fed once every four hours, once at around 8 o'clock in the evening, once at 12:30 in the middle of the night, and once again at 5 o'clock in the morning.
She can take care of the child alone without Liao Sijie, but it would be much easier to have someone else to help.
Ever since Huo Yining was born, his father-in-law has sent them money every month, and his grandfather has also given them some money from time to time. They are not short of money, and supporting one more person is no big deal for them.
Not long after Xiao Ya returned, Huo Qingyan brought the three brothers Lin Jing, Lin Hun and Lin Ke back to visit. Xiao Ya knew why the three brothers came today. Wasn't it because they wanted to ask her about Manman's news?
As long as they don't ask her for Manman's contact address, she wouldn't mind the Lin family knowing the news about Manman and her eldest grandson.
Lin Jing and Lin Ke looked at Xiao Ya anxiously, while Lin Hun smiled calmly, "Aunt Xiao, how many days have you been back from the island?"
"Two days."
"Is my sister okay? I heard she gave birth to a big fat boy for your son."
"Manman is doing well. She did give Qingci a big fat boy. I have a photo of her and the child here. Do you want to see it?"
"Thank you, Aunt Xiao."
Xiao Ya returned to her room, took out some dried fruits, and took out a large stack of photos from the drawer. She gave several photos to each of the three brothers.

“This is a recent photo of my oldest grandson.”
Huo Qingyan also squeezed onto the sofa, snatched two photos from Lin Jing's hand, looked at them and said, "Mom, why is Huo Yining still so fat? This head looks like a one-year-old child."
Xiao Ya glanced at Huo Qingyan and said, "What do you know, kid? How is Ningning fat? This is perfect. When she's one or two years old, she'll grow up slowly and be as tall and thin as him."
Huo Qingyan pursed his lips, "Our captain's youngest son is a few months older than him, but he doesn't look as big as him."
Lin Jing smiled and agreed, "Our captain's youngest son is indeed not as big as my eldest nephew."
Xiao Ya looked at Lin Jing and Huo Qingyan and said, "You two are not young anymore, isn't it time to find a partner? I heard that your army will be holding a social event for National Day this year. Will you two participate?"
Lin Jing smiled awkwardly, "Aunt Xiao, I'm on a blind date recently."
"Oh, you're on a blind date. Looks like our Qingyan is going to start a blind date too."
Huo Qingyan took a piece of dried mango from the fruit plate and started chewing it. He said casually, "Mom, you already have an older grandson, why are you still staring at me?"
"Don't I want a granddaughter?"
Huo Qingyan said, "Mom, even if I have to give birth, I'd rather have a son. I don't like girls crying. If you like a granddaughter, let my eldest brother and sister-in-law give birth to one."
He is not biased towards boys, he simply doesn't like little girls and cries easily.
Especially when I saw the two daughters of the captain's family, they started pulling each other's hair when they fought. When the adults tried to pull them apart, they bit and swore at each other.
If they were boys, he would have helped the captain to beat them up, but unfortunately they were girls, so he couldn't say anything or scold them.
Xiao Ya is really depressed. Not only does their second child not want to get married yet, but he also doesn't want to have a daughter. It seems that he can only wait for Manman to have a second child. I hope she will give birth to a girl next time!
Thinking of the second child, Xiao Ya suddenly thought of Lin Weiwei, so she asked Lin Jing, "Where did Lin Weiwei go after leaving with your mother?"
Lin Jing's face darkened when he thought of Lin Weiwei. "She got married and later gave birth to a daughter. I heard that child also has a heart disease..."
Xiao Ya wondered if heart disease could be hereditary. It seemed that Lin Weiwei would have a hard time after leaving the Lin family!
Lin Hun interrupted, "Aunt Xiao, Lin Weiwei's having a hard time and doesn't have any contact with us. My mom got a temporary job in the city, and life alone is not easy either."
Xiao Ya said "oh" and stopped talking about that topic. Instead, she asked them to eat.
As soon as the three Lin brothers left, Xiao Ya twisted Huo Qingyan's ear and said, "Lin Jing has started a blind date, so you should start going on blind dates tomorrow too."
"Mom, your son is so handsome, he doesn't need a blind date and a bunch of lesbians will just throw themselves at him."
Xiao Ya raised her eyebrows and said, "Whoever pounces on you, bring one to me tomorrow."
"Mom, my eldest brother didn't go on a blind date until he was 24. I'm only 23 this year. Please let me have fun for another year."
"No, you have to bring me a partner before the New Year."
Huo Qingyan thought, the Chinese New Year is still several months away, how about meeting her at a social event during National Day?
The female soldiers in the art troupe can sing and dance. Why don’t you go to the art troupe and pick one?
"Mom, what do you say about me going to the art troupe to find someone?"
"Those girls in the art troupe are very picky. They chose you because of your identity and status. If you really like me, I'll let you do whatever you want."
Huo Qingyan added, "Don't blind dates all depend on conditions? They look at my status and position, and I look at their faces and figures."
Xiao Ya laughed and scolded, "When did you become so superficial? I don't care who you find, if that girl is difficult to get along with, just take her out to live."
"Mom, I'm just kidding."
