501

Things beyond the reach of natural forces must be resolved in a non-natural way.

Huo Yingjie listened to He Tiantian's conversation, seemingly understanding but not quite, his eyes constantly shifting.

He had his head down, so neither He Tiantian nor He Jingyu saw him.

After dinner, He Jingyu sat on the Huo family's sofa, drinking tea and chatting.

"By the way, Lao He, what were you going to say on the train? You were so mysterious, I was afraid someone would overhear us," Huo Zhekun said. He Jingyu was always honest and kind, not the kind of person who said one thing but meant another.

"I was just about to tell you this," He Jingyu put down his cup. "It's like this, the back mountain of Qijia Village..."

He Jingyu recounted everything he had seen in Qijia Village, including the favorable weather and abundant harvests, as well as the dramatic increase in newborns in recent years.

Upon hearing Huo Zhekun's words, Jiang Lifang was dumbfounded.

"Old He, this...this is feudal superstition!" Huo Zhekun stammered. Such a thing existed in the world? It was completely contrary to their previous values!

“Yes, if someone else had told me this, I would have reported it,” Jiang Lifang said. “You’re a scientist, how could you believe such things?”

Seeing that the couple didn't believe it at all, He Jingyu smiled bitterly and said, "Before I went to Qijia Village, I was just like you, I didn't believe any of this. But seeing is believing! I saw it with my own eyes, I can't not believe it! Tiantian was there too, you can ask Tiantian."

He Tiantian nodded repeatedly and said, "Uncle Huo, Aunt Jiang, neither my dad nor I are liars, and there's no need for us to make up such a story to deceive you!"

Huo Zhekun and Jiang Lifang looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing this.

“Dr. Zhang was helpless at the hospital. Now we’re back in Nanshi, let’s see if Yingjie can regain his memories. If he can, that would be great. If not, normal methods have failed, so why not try other methods? Anyway, Shuping and I are there in Qijia Village, we won’t let Yingjie suffer.” He Jingyu continued to persuade him, thinking that it was better to try anything than to be helpless and do nothing at all!

“This…” Huo Zhekun hesitated.

Yes, they don't trust others, but they can trust Old He's family!

Besides, Lao He, Tian Tian has no reason to lie to them!

“Brother Huo, sister-in-law, if it were anyone else, I wouldn’t have said anything even if you killed me. But I’ve watched Yingjie grow up. Look, his IQ is still so high, but his EQ has dropped a lot. He’s become clueless about many social situations. Isn’t this exactly what they used to say, that his soul is gone? Three souls and seven spirits, maybe he’s missing one of them, and that’s why he’s like this?”

At this point, Huo Zhekun was half-convinced.

On the contrary, Jiang Lifang was more decisive at this time, saying, "Okay, Jingyu is right. If Yingjie doesn't get better in Nanshi, send him to Qijia Village to recuperate. In any case, we can't give up on treatment until Yingjie recovers."

Seeing his wife say this, Huo Zhekun nodded and said, "Alright, let's just consider it a recuperation trip. With Jingyu and Shuping here, we can rest assured."

Seeing that the couple agreed, He Jingyu nodded and said, "We should give it a try. Anyway, I just feel that Qijia Village is strange. Apart from those strange things, the peach trees I planted in Qijia Village are much better than I imagined. Even the Queen Mother of the West's peaches don't taste that good. After I go back tomorrow, I'll probably start harvesting the peaches. I'll send you some then so you can taste this year's fresh peaches."

"Oh, hearing you say that reminds me of the peaches you sent to our family last year. I've never eaten such delicious peaches in my life," Jiang Lifang said, adding that they tasted so good she almost wanted to swallow her tongue.

"Yes, we didn't expect it to taste this good either," He Jingyu said with a smile. "So I think it has something to do with the location of Qijia Village. Also, after staying in Qijia Village for a few years, my health improved a lot, and my sleep quality was very good!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lifang asked in surprise, "Your sleep quality is poor, did it really improve there?"

“Yes, now it’s almost all night long,” He Jingyu said with a smile. “It’s a health resort, but because it’s so remote, people outside don’t know how good it is. If I hadn’t gone there, I wouldn’t have known about it either.”

"Hehe, that's good." Huo Zhekun said, "No wonder you're all reluctant to come back now."

"I am indeed a little reluctant to leave. The people there are simple and honest, and Shuping and I are both people who are content with a simple life, so we like it there. Besides, I can continue to study my peach trees there, and I can balance my life and career." He Jingyu is very satisfied with his current life.

If Huo Yingjie can recover soon and his daughter can finally get married, that would be even more heartwarming.

He Jingyu and He Tiantian went home to rest.

Of course, He Tiantian would put Huo Yingjie to sleep first every day before she would leave.

When she got home, He Tiantian felt guilty towards her parents and said, "Dad, please tell Mom that I will go back as soon as possible to take care of her, and tell her to take good care of herself."

He Tiantian cherishes her current family ties and the changes that are different from her previous life.

Especially since she is about to have a younger sister or brother, adding another relative to her family.

No, if we include my grandmother, then there are two more close relatives.

But her mother is getting old, and she worries that her body can't handle it.

“You have a foster mother at home, and so many people in the village. I’ll also be here to take care of your mother, so don’t worry,” He Jingyu said. “Stay here with Yingjie for a while. If he doesn’t get better, take him back home. We’ll pray to the dragon god and go to the hot springs. Maybe that will help?”

"Okay." He Tiantian replied, "Dad, be careful on your journey. We have plenty of things at home, so please buy some more to help Mom get better."

"Of course," He Jingyu said. He and his wife not only received salaries and special allowances from Huai City, but also received allowances from Qijia Village, which was enough to ensure that their family lived very well.

The father and daughter talked for a while before returning to their rooms to rest.

The next morning, Huo Zhekun went to work, while Jiang Lifang, He Tiantian, and Huo Yingjie saw He Jingyu off at the train station.

With an elderly adoptive mother and a pregnant wife at home, He Jingyu was eager to return, wishing he could grow wings and fly back.

Although he was worried about his daughter, He Jingyu knew that she had grown up and had her own ideas. He respected her choices, and with the Huo family couple around, he was not worried about He Tiantian's safety.
