Chapter 516 (Page 1/2)
Helplessly, Huo Yichen could only stop, carry his schoolbag, and stand obediently beside the bicycle waiting for his uncle to lock the bike.
Soon, Huo Qinghuan locked the bicycle, took all the fruits and snacks off the bike swiftly, and escorted Huo Yichen to the second floor.
When Huo Qingyan heard footsteps coming from the corridor, he knew his son must be back, so he couldn't wait to walk to the door to greet them.
As soon as the door opened, Huo Qingyan greeted with a smile: "Qinghuan is here, thank you for sending Chenchen back."
Huo Qinghuan handed the fruits and snacks in his hand to Huo Qingyan and said with a smile: "Second brother, these are specially prepared by my sister-in-law for my nephews and nieces."
Huo Qingyan took the things and said gratefully, "Okay, thank you! Come in and sit down!"
However, Huo Qinghuan shook his head and said softly, "No, it's getting late. I have classes tomorrow, so I'd better go back first."
At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly rushed out from the side and quickly ran to the door.
The shadow first glanced at Huo Qinghuan, then said to Huo Yichen enthusiastically: "Chenchen, come here, let your aunt help you carry your schoolbag."
It turned out that this black shadow was the person Song Jingjing wanted to explain to Huo Qinghuan, their nanny Tang Xue.
As Tang Xue spoke, she reached out to take the schoolbag from Huo Yichen's back, glancing at Huo Qinghuan from time to time.
Huo Yichen was startled by Tang Xue's sudden enthusiasm and stood there at a loss.
At this time, Huo Qinghuan also felt a little embarrassed. She quickly took a step back and said to Huo Qingyan, "Second brother, I'm leaving first." After that, he turned around and left in a hurry.
Seeing Huo Qinghuan leave like this, Tang Xue quickly put down her schoolbag and prepared to chase after him. Huo Qingyan grabbed her and said, "Xiaoxue, where are you going?"
Tang Xue smiled awkwardly, "Brother-in-law, I just thought the corridor was dark, so I gave Uncle Chenchen a flashlight."
Huo Yichen interrupted, "Auntie Xue, there's a moon tonight, so the corridor isn't that dark."
"Oh, really?"
Tang Xue was filled with regret. Why had she missed such a good opportunity? If she could marry Chenchen's uncle, she would be a city dweller in the future.
Huo Qingyan looked at his son with some surprise. Hadn't he listened to his wife before, saying that Tang Xue should be his aunt? Why did he deliberately interrupt and mention that there was a moon tonight? Did his younger brother tell him something?
"Huo Yichen, have you finished your homework?" Huo Qingyan suddenly asked.
Huo Yichen looked up at Huo Qingyan and asked, "Dad, today is the first day of school. Where is the homework?"
"There's no homework on the first day. What did your teacher ask you to do that day?"
"In the morning, we collect textbooks, attend ideological and moral education classes, and elect class leaders. In the afternoon, we study and clean the house." Huo Yichen counted carefully on his fingers.
Huo Qingyan asked again, "You guys chose class leaders this morning. What class leader did you become?"
Huo Yichen dodged his gaze and said, "I didn't raise my hand during the class leader election. I'm not a class leader, and neither is Huo Yiwen from Class 2."
"What about Xinxin?" Huo Qingyan asked.
Huo Yichen stood there with an indecisive expression on his face, struggling in his heart whether to tell his father the truth.
If he tells the truth, will his father think he is not as good as his cousin?
After a while, Huo Yichen's eyes became unsteady. He didn't dare look directly at Huo Qingyan, and said with a guilty conscience, "She...she didn't serve as a class leader either."
Huo Qingyan was a little unconvinced. He frowned and asked doubtfully, "Really?"
Huo Yichen lowered his head, his voice becoming even smaller, and he muttered as if he was talking to himself: "Well, actually Xinxin became the study committee member, and Huo Yiwen didn't want to be a class leader.

When we were electing class leaders, my classmates didn’t recommend me, and I didn’t raise my hand either…”
Huo Qingyan couldn't help laughing after hearing this. Why was his son so timid? He probably wanted to be a class leader too, but he didn't dare to raise his hand to recommend himself.
"Xinxin has been appointed as the study committee member, Wenwen doesn't want to be a class leader, and you also want to be a class leader, but you don't dare to raise your hand, right?"
Huo Yichen retorted unyieldingly, "I don't want to be a class leader! The teacher said that class leaders need to set an example and be capable and take the lead.
To be a study committee member, you must get first place in the exams; to be a sports committee member, you must be very strong.
"As a labor committee member, you have to help clean; as a music committee member, you have to be able to sing and dance; as an art committee member, you have to be able to draw. Being a class monitor is even more challenging; you have to be able to do everything."
Huo Qingyan patted Huo Yichen on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Huo Yichen, you've already started elementary school. You must study hard and strive to become a class leader in the next semester."
Hearing this, Huo Yichen clenched his hands tightly together, his expression became nervous, and he said stubbornly:
"However, when my aunt found out that Huo Yiwen was not elected as a class leader, she didn't blame him. Instead, she let him do what he liked."
Huo Yichen was really unsure whether he could be elected as a class leader in the next semester. He didn't want his father to always pay attention to whether he would be a class leader or not.
Then he added, "Dad, Xinxin is the study committee member. Dad can train his sister to be as smart as Xinxin."
Huo Yingzi, who was picking at snacks on the table, paused, glared at Huo Yichen, and snorted coldly: "I will be the class monitor in the future. Anyway, I am smarter than my brother."
Huo Yichen rolled his eyes at Huo Yingzi, a hint of impatience on his face, and a hint of pride in his tone.
"Oh, you're smart, huh? You're the smartest person in our family, right? My aunt brought these fruits and snacks specially for me, so don't eat them."
After saying that, he deliberately grabbed the bag on the table and waved it. Hearing Huo Yichen's words, Huo Yingzi pouted, tears instantly welled up in her eyes, and she was about to cry.
She looked at Huo Qingyan aggrievedly, as if she felt that she was being treated unfairly.
Huo Qingyan, who was standing by, saw that his daughter was about to cry, and quickly comforted her: "Zizi, don't cry, don't cry. Your brother is just teasing you. He is lying to you. Don't listen to his nonsense."
Song Jingjing came out of the room after feeding her youngest son. Seeing that her daughter had started to quarrel with her son again, she looked at Huo Qingyan with some displeasure.
"Qingyan, you can't always bully Chenchen just because Zizi is younger than him."
"Okay, wife, I'm just afraid that my daughter will cry. You know that if Zizi cries, the whole building can hear it."
Song Jingjing said angrily, "It's all because of you who indulged me."
Song Jingjing really regretted giving birth to a daughter. She always cried over trivial matters and always said that she was biased and treated her badly. She also liked to tell others about it. She really suspected that she and her daughter were enemies in their previous life.
Seeing her mother's stern face, Huo Yingzi knew she was angry, so she quickly hid in her father's arms and whispered, "Dad, there are candies in the bag. I want to eat some."
Huo Qingyan looked at Huo Yichen and said, "Chenchen, your brother is still young and can't eat those candies. You and your sister should split them in half."
Huo Yichen grabbed a handful of fruit candies from the bag and handed the bag to Song Jingjing. "This bag contains fruit candies and various dried fruits. Mom, you keep these snacks."
