Chapter 264: It’s All Fate (Page 1/2)
Lin Man gave the knitted sweater to Huo Qingci. Huo Qingci took off his coat and the old sweater underneath, and quickly put on the new wool sweater that Lin Man had knitted for him.
After putting on the clothes, he looked at himself in the dressing mirror and said, "Manman's skills are really good. This color is very flattering to my skin tone. It will go well with any color coat."
Lin Man couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that you can only wear your military uniform to work, and only wear your own coat during the two days of the New Year. It might snow during the New Year this year, and your woolen coat might not be enough."
Huo Qingci took off his new sweater and said, "Actually, I can wear two sweaters, and a thermal underwear underneath. That should be enough."
"When winter vacation comes, I'll make you a quilted coat so you won't feel cold. I'll also make one for myself so we can wear matching outfits."
After being married for several years, Lin Man has never made clothes for herself and Huo Qingci. She can do it in the space during the winter vacation.
Huo Qingci shook his head, disagreeing, and said seriously, "The clothes I had before are still wearable.
Besides, the New Year is coming soon and there are a lot of things to do at home. Not only do you have to take care of two children, but the weather is so cold, so don't bother making new clothes."
Lin Man took the sweater from Huo Qingci's hand with a smile and responded, "Okay, then I won't make you a Nizi coat this year. Let's go to the warehouse together and pick out a suitable one later.
If anyone asks, just say we bought the fabric ourselves and had it made by a tailor.”
"Okay. I don't have anything important to do this afternoon. I plan to take Grandpa to my space to go fishing, but it's a bit inconvenient for Qinghuan to stay home alone."
His space can be known to Manman and grandfather, but not to his brothers and parents.
Although his parents would not betray him, he was not the only son they had. However, he was afraid that one day his parents would ask him to use the materials in the space to help his two younger brothers, thus leaking his space.
This little brother Huo Qinghuan has good character, but who can guarantee that he won't betray him for the sake of profit?
Grandpa is old, and among so many younger generations, he likes him the most, so it is naturally impossible for him to betray him.
As for his wife, she is his lifelong love. Even if Manman really wants to betray him, he will accept it. Who told him to love her?
Besides, Manman is not such a heartless woman. She also has her own space, so how could she betray him?
Lin Man knew that Huo Qinghuan was having some inconvenience. If he hadn't come today, she would have taken her two children into Huo Qingci's space to pick strawberries.
"Qingci, don't worry about this. The final exams are coming soon. I'll accompany Huanhuan in the living room, warming myself by the fire while reading. Just relax and take Grandpa to the space to have fun!"
Huo Qingci said, "Okay, I'll take An An outside to sleep, and then take Ning Ning with me into the space to go fishing."
When Lin Man heard that Huo Qingci wanted to take the children fishing, she immediately objected, "I'm afraid that won't work! Don't you know? This little devil in our family is not at all content!"
He always likes to run around and can't stay still for a moment. What if he accidentally falls into the pond while you're not paying attention? The consequences would be disastrous!"
Huo Qingci thought about it carefully and felt that what Lin Man said made sense, so he nodded and said:
"Well... you're right. We really can't take this naughty little guy fishing. Well, it seems you'll have to take care of both children by yourself."
Fortunately, the children are now a little older and no longer need to be held in my arms and coaxed all day long like when they were little.
As long as she prepares enough food and toys for them, she can basically let them play by themselves. Her brother-in-law is here today, so she doesn't have to worry about anything. She can even knit a thick sweater for little An An while they sit around the fire.
So, Lin Man took Huo Qingci and walked out of the space with their son in her arms.
Then, she carefully and gently placed the child back on the bed and watched him sleep peacefully, not even being woken by changing his sleeping position.
After all, a child who is just over one year old needs a lot of sleep.

Huo Qingci opened the door and said to Huo Li, "Grandpa, don't you have something to talk to me about?"
Huo Li realized that his eldest grandson was having a day off today, so he was inviting him into the space to go fishing?
He slowly stood up and said to Huo Qinghuan, "Huanhuan, I have something to discuss with your eldest brother. Please help your sister-in-law keep an eye on Ningning and don't let him get into trouble."
Huo Qinghuan gently pinched Huo Yining's chubby face and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will take good care of Ningning."
Lin Man brought out a bunch of food from the room, along with a comprehensive review material for Chinese and politics, and gently placed it on the coffee table, saying:
"Qinghuan, put Ningning down quickly and let him sit on the small stool. You're getting tired of holding him like this all the time.
I prepared these review materials for you. Please take a good look at them over the next few days."
Huo Qinghuan had no choice but to carry Huo Yining down from his lap. He picked up the review materials on the coffee table and quickly flipped through them, feeling very satisfied.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
"No need, you can take the exam and memorize the review materials at the same time." After saying that, Lin Man went back to her room to get the wool and bamboo needles.
When Huo Yining saw his mother return to the room, he quickly walked to the coffee table and looked at the pile of delicious food on the table. He was immediately delighted.
"Uncle, look, there are White Rabbit candies, chocolate balls, beef jerky, dried mangoes, peach cakes..."
Huo Qinghuan naturally saw a pile of delicious food on the table. He also knew that he was actually a foodie. Ningning took after him. He couldn't help but sigh that his sister-in-law was so good to him.
Unlike the second sister-in-law, who would give her the first priority when there was something delicious at home, and would give the leftovers to the second brother. They never thought that he was only a thirteen-year-old child.
After Huo Qingci followed his grandfather back to the room, he quickly locked the door and took his grandfather into the space.
"Grandpa, the fishing gear is ready, let's go fishing first!"
Huo Li asked him, "Qingci, did you feed the pigs today?"
"Feed the livestock that need to be fed in the morning, and then feed them again in the evening."
Huo Li followed Huo Qingci to the edge of the pond and smiled knowingly as he looked at the small stool, bucket, fishing rod and bait box that had been laid out.
"Today, we, the grandfather and the grandson, are competing to see who can catch more fish."
"Okay, let's compete."
Huo Qingci first helped his grandfather sit down and helped him put on the bait, and then he returned to his seat.
The two Sun brothers sat there quietly fishing. Huo Li waited for a while and found that no fish had taken the bait, so he turned around and whispered to Huo Qingci beside him:
"You went to the Lin family today to help Liao Sijie negotiate the betrothal gift. What do you think of the Lin family?"
Huo Qingci smiled slightly and replied, "Grandpa, the Lin family is very welcoming! Especially Lin Jing's eldest brother and sister-in-law, they are particularly enthusiastic.
Lin Jing's younger brother is still in the northwest. He and Yaoyao are on the same farm.
Lin Jing's father was a kind man. He even secretly gave me his passbook, saying that he wanted to give it to Manman as a dowry.
However, I didn’t accept it and I put the passbook back into his pocket.”
"Just confiscate it. If you make decisions for your wife, she'll be upset. By the way, I heard that Lin Shaoqian isn't feeling well and came back to recuperate. Is that true?"
"Yes, Grandpa. He's not in good health. His voice is as soft as a mosquito's.
I feel like he might be a little short of lung energy, and he might also be a little anemic."
Huo Qingci frowned, a hint of worry in his tone. Although Manman did not recognize the Lin family, he was her biological father after all. If he really died suddenly one day, she wondered if Manman would be sad.
Hearing this, Huo Li couldn't help but sigh, and secretly thought in his heart: "This Lin Shaoqian is such a pitiful person! He is also a confused guy.
If he had been a little more sober back then, how could he have been so easily deceived by his wife and mother-in-law?
Not only did he lose his own daughter, but he also worked so hard to raise the daughter of his enemy. Alas, this is fate!
