He Tiantian treated everyone around her with a grateful heart. However, reaching middle age, she discovered she had been living inside a full-bodied lie.
Returning to the year 1970, He Tianti...
1172
The experiment was successful last month, and everyone knew the news. Now that Huo Yingjie is back, they naturally contacted that project.
Comparing people is a recipe for disaster, comparing goods is a recipe for throwing them away!
The younger generation of the Huo family are all exceptionally outstanding.
Leaving aside the Huo family's descendants, even their daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law can't compare to the Huo family, especially He Tiantian, who is now the giant panda of the swimming team, a key protected object, and they are counting on He Tiantian to win a gold medal.
"Hehe, hurry back." Old Master Tang said. Although he felt a little sad, he was also very happy recently. His youngest daughter-in-law, Qi Zhengmin, gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, the day before yesterday. They were quite the talk of the town in the resort.
"I'll brag to everyone another day," Old Master Huo said smugly, then turned and left.
However, when leaving, he still held Old Madam Huo's hand and helped her walk, his movements very gentle.
Seeing this elderly couple, both over eighty years old, still so affectionate, made everyone a little jealous.
“Look at Old Huo, he’s a rough and uncultured guy, but he’s so good to his wife. From when he was young until now, I’ve never seen him raise his voice at his wife. On the contrary, it’s his wife who often yells at the tall and strong Old Huo.” One of the older men, who was a little younger than Old Master Huo, said.
“Hehe, you’re right. Old Huo does this better than us,” another old man said. “But thinking about it, it makes sense. Old Huo looks like that and is not well-educated. He naturally has to be subservient to his wife, otherwise no one would want to live with him.”
Hearing people making sarcastic remarks, saying that Old Master Huo had disgraced men and was henpecked at home, he was shocked.
Old Master Tang shook his head and chuckled, saying, "You are all completely wrong!"
"Old Tang, what do you mean by this?" the old man asked. "By the way, you're not much better than Old Huo. You just behave yourself when your wife yells at you."
Grandpa Tang looked down at everyone with a condescending gaze and said disdainfully, "You're all so shallow. All you know is that Old Huo's wife was beautiful and educated when she was young, but you don't see that Old Huo is the shrewd one. Look at how educated she is; her children are all incredibly smart. Now compare yourself to them. You only marry those women from performing arts troupes. They may be pretty, but besides being pretty, able to sing and dance, and dressed up all the time, what else do they have? A woman's looks are one thing, but she also needs to be cultured and have substance! The key is that she needs to know how to raise children. Otherwise, why would there be the saying 'a good wife and mother' in the past?"
Upon hearing this, everyone felt like they had been hit with a critical strike.
Their sarcastic remarks stemmed from the ambition of Old Master Huo's descendants; it turns out there was another reason. Some people secretly regretted not marrying someone more educated.
"So your wife doesn't have any other advantages besides being tall, and you don't seem to care much for her?" a fat old man retorted, feeling that Old Tang's statement was somewhat one-sided.
Old Master Tang rolled his eyes and said, "One of us in the family is educated, that's enough. Why do we need so many? Besides, back then, my mother, my father, and I all chose my wife because she was tall. Look at me, I have three sons and one daughter, all of them are tall. If we relied on the Tang family, we wouldn't grow any taller. It's all thanks to my wife!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was speechless; there was such a reason?
Although I don't know if it's true or not, it is indeed true that Old Tang, this short and stocky man, has several tall sons.
Everyone was filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment, especially when they thought about how Old Tang's youngest son had remarried and found a wealthy Chinese-American woman who had given birth to three children, including two recently born twins.
Now that we have a one-child policy, Old Tang's youngest son and daughter-in-law can have as many children as they want.
Their eyes were red with anxiety, especially those who had given birth to girls; they were extremely upset.
Family planning is a basic national policy; you can only have one child, no more.
With Old Master Huo gone, it was Old Master Tang's turn to boast. As a result, the old men in the villa all felt uneasy, especially those who chatted with the men surnamed Tang and Huo. They were so shocked that their hearts trembled.
Meanwhile, Old Master Huo and his wife came over with Huo Zhekun, Song Chunli, and Huo Ruixiang.
Huo Yingjie drove and waited for He Tiantian at the entrance of the Sports Loyalty Center.
He Tiantian is doing strength training. She was already strong, and now, through systematic training, her muscles, bones, and all aspects of her body have improved.
He Tiantian was drenched in sweat after finally finishing today's training.
Cui Ying came over and handed He Tiantian a dry towel.
He Tiantian wiped her sweat, sat down and slowly drank water, panting slightly as she said, "Oh, the day's training is finally over, I can go home soon."
Cui Ying smiled and said, "Seeing how hard you're working, I'm tempted to tell you not to go to the competition."
"Hehe, we can't give up so easily at this point," He Tiantian said. "Anyway, I'm in good physical condition, I'll recover after a while."
"Yes, that's true," Cui Ying said. "But watching you swim is a real visual treat. You're so beautiful, just like a mermaid."
“You’re just joking,” He Tiantian said. “However, I admit that I feel an unparalleled sense of exhilaration in the water, really, it’s more comfortable than being in the air.”
"I'm glad you like it. That's why you started practicing swimming in the first place," Cui Ying said. "Now all eyes are on you, and people have high hopes for you."
“Yes, every time I go back to the old house, my elders always encourage me. My parents, grandmother, and my younger brother, who live abroad, always write to encourage me,” He Tiantian said. “For myself, for my family, and to set a good example for my children, I must achieve good results.”
He Tiantian took a shower, changed her clothes, and, carrying her bag, came out with Cui Ying and Wei Yuanyuan.
At the gate, Huo Yingjie's car could be seen from afar.
Huo Yingjie also saw He Tiantian and quickly got out of the car to greet her.
Huo Yingjie changed into a white T-shirt, thin casual pants, and black sneakers. His hair was still short and buzz cut. He walked over leisurely, with the sun behind him.
He Tiantian was overjoyed, truly overjoyed. She hadn't expected Huo Yingjie to return at this time, and she was very excited.
"Brother Yingjie." He Tiantian ran over lightly, her eyes only on Huo Yingjie at this moment.
Huo Yingjie quickened his pace, and when he was still a few meters away from He Tiantian, he stretched out his arms, waiting for He Tiantian to jump into his arms.
Overjoyed, He Tiantian wrapped her arms around Huo Yingjie's neck.
Huo Yingjie also reached out and hugged He Tiantian's waist tightly.
If other people hadn't been passing by the door, Huo Yingjie would have liked to carry He Tiantian around a few times.
