This time, I feel I have let Huo Yingjie down, but it's not a big deal, as long as I've shown sincerity.

Huo Zhekun smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. These are special times, so we shouldn't have a big celebration. It's better to keep it low-key. As long as our family is happy, that's enough. As for other people who are not important, let's just leave it at that."

"Well, then you should talk to Yingjie and make sure he doesn't feel aggrieved," said Old Master Huo, trying his best to make everyone feel comfortable and not let his second son's family feel disheartened.

"Father, don't worry about that. Yingjie doesn't care about any of that. He just wants to get married," Huo Zhekun said with a smile, trying to comfort his father.

When Madam Huo heard about her daughter-in-law and son's plans, she expressed her approval.

He immediately took most of the various supplies that the organization had reissued and gave them to Jiang Lifang as a token of his appreciation.

Then she took out a jade pendant from her dowry and said, "Shuping, when Yingjun and Huanhuan got married, I gave them a piece of jadeite. Now that Yingjie and Tiantian are getting married, I'm giving them this piece of Hetian jade. I hope they will live happily ever after and have a baby soon."

When Jiang Lifang saw the jade pendant, she knew it was her mother-in-law's cherished possession. She said, "Mom, when Yingjie and Tiantian come over, you can give it to Tiantian yourself."

"These are from before the wedding, and there are more from after the wedding," said Madam Huo. "Please take them to her and tell her it's a small token of my appreciation as her grandmother."

Since her mother-in-law had said so, Jiang Lifang couldn't refuse and had no choice but to accept it.

Since Huo Zhekun and his family of three are not spending the Lunar New Year here, Old Madam Huo has decided to celebrate the New Year early, prepare a good meal, and have a reunion dinner ahead of schedule.

Afterwards, they took the things prepared by Madam Huo, boarded the train, and headed directly to Qijia Village.

After Huo Yingjie left, He Tiantian lived in constant fear.

“Sweetie, there’s no use worrying here. What’s meant to be will be,” Wang Shuping said. “Anyway, Yingjie has already gone back, and his parents have gone to Yanjing. They will do their best to mediate. We can just wait patiently at home.”

"Yes, Tiantian, Yingjie is a very lucky man, he will definitely overcome this difficulty," Grandma Qi said with a smile. "Shuping, I think you should prepare a dowry for Tiantian. Once Yingjie finishes his business there, he will probably come back immediately, and then we can hold the wedding. By the way, are you planning to hold it in Qijia Village or in Nanshi?"

He Jingyu came in from outside, smiling and saying, "Godmother, we don't have any relatives in Nanshi, nor any close colleagues or friends. We've met quite a few people here in Qijia Village, and with you here too, Shuping and I decided to hold the event in Qijia Village."

"Great, great!" Grandma Qi was overjoyed to hear that the wedding would be held in Qijia Village. She didn't want to travel by car; if it were in Nanshi, she probably wouldn't be able to go and attend Tian Tian's wedding.

He Tiantian was initially very worried, but when she heard her grandmother, father, and mother talking about her marriage, she wasn't worried at all, as if she was the only one making a fuss over nothing.

However, this atmosphere affected He Tiantian, and she was no longer as worried as before.

"We have plenty of things at home, enough to prepare a decent wedding for Tian Tian," said Grandma Qi. "Oh, we can't wear gold and silver now, otherwise I would definitely dress Tian Tian up in jewels and make her look as beautiful as an angel."

“Hehe, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.” He Jingyu smiled. “Yingjie is in Nanshi. We’ll arrange the wedding for Tiantian here. She can’t take it with her. I’ll give Tiantian two thousand yuan, the house in Nanshi, and all the old things left over from the family.”

He Tiantian was taken aback, then smiled wryly, "You've given it all to me, aren't you afraid my future younger brother or sister will be angry?"

“What’s there to be angry about? When we go back to Nanshi, you won’t let us stay there!” He Jingyu said. “Besides, your grandmother also said that after your younger brother and sister turn one year old, we will go abroad. What do we need the house at home for? If you’re not going abroad, it will be left to you.”

“Alright then.” He Tiantian nodded sweetly, “Anyway, Grandma has a lot of good things. I won’t be jealous of whatever Grandma gives him in the future.”

“There are only a few people in our family, what is there to argue about?” Wang Shuping smiled through her cigarette, her daughter and husband were worrying unnecessarily.

"Hehe, money is just an external thing, family is the most important." Grandma Qi San understood this deeply. In her secret room, there were so many things that were neither edible nor drinkable. Compared to the joy of finding her son's family, those things were not worth mentioning.

"Grandma, I'm getting married now, and I might leave here with Huo Yingjie and my parents will leave Qijia Village. How can you manage alone at home?" He Tiantian looked at Grandma Qi with concern. She wanted to stay with Grandma Qi, but Grandma Qi was unwilling to leave.

Grandma Qi smiled and said, "All good things must come to an end. The children are all grown up and will eventually leave home. Anyway, I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay in Qi Family Village. When the time comes, we'll bring your Grandpa Qi here and find some hardworking people in the village to take care of our meals. When you have time, come back and visit us."

Grandma Qi is very open-minded; she can even sever ties with her own son, let alone anyone else.

“Okay, Grandma, I’ll come to see you often then,” He Tiantian said. It’s more convenient for her to come here since she’s in China.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore, it's still a long way off," said Grandma Qi. "By the way, Shuping, I did some calculations for you, and you're probably going to give birth in early February of the lunar calendar. Are you going to give birth in Qijia Village, or are you planning to give birth in a hospital in Huai City?"

“Actually, I wanted to stay in Qijia Village, but as you know, Wang Shuilian is Qi Jianguo’s aunt, and I was afraid she would cause trouble at that time.” Wang Shuping was very direct and did not shy away from Qi San’s grandmother.

Grandma Qi thought for a moment and said, "Giving birth is a life-or-death ordeal for a woman. Since we don't trust Wang Shuilian, we won't let her deliver the baby. Let's prepare for both possibilities. If we have enough time, we'll go to a hospital in Huai City; if we don't have enough time, I'll have Zhao Dajiao go back to her parents' home and have her sister-in-law deliver the baby for you."

"Thank you, godmother," Wang Shuping said with a smile. She still hoped to return to Huai City before giving birth. Anyway, they had a dormitory there, and she could just go there in advance to clean it up. There was no need to go through so much trouble at home.

The family discussed wedding arrangements, having children, and the baby's one-month celebration. He Jingyu was very excited; he hadn't been this happy in a long time.

As for the Huo family's affairs, worrying about it is useless, since he can't help them anyway.

He Tiantian couldn't get a word in edgewise and could only listen from the sidelines.

However, He Tiantian felt especially happy during these days!

What could be better than family gathering together to discuss happy events? Seven Star Grass says there will be an extra chapter tomorrow, hehe ?(?'▽'??)?
