Huo Zhekun fetched a kettle of hot water and made tea for everyone.

Jiang Lifang took out sunflower seeds, raisins, and nuts from her pocket, placed them on the small table beside the train, and said, "Sweetie, have some sunflower seeds. It's boring on the journey, have some sunflower seeds to relieve your boredom."

He Tiantian smiled and said, "Thank you, Aunt Jiang!"

"Haha, Tian Tian isn't used to it yet!" Jiang Liping laughed, recalling how she often called her by the wrong name when she first got married.

He Tiantian was taken aback, her face flushed, and she said, "I'm sorry, Mom, I..."

It does feel a bit strange to suddenly change one's tune.

"Alright, we're all family, so don't stand on ceremony," Jiang Lifang said with a smile. "I only have one son, Yingjie, and I've always treated you like a daughter. Now that you're my daughter-in-law, you're practically my daughter too. If you have anything to say or anything you're unhappy about, let's talk it out face to face. Don't try to guess what the other is thinking behind our backs. Sometimes, if you can't guess, misunderstandings will arise."

He Tiantian nodded and said, "I've got it, Mom!"

"Okay!" Jiang Liping said with a smile, "You probably know your father-in-law and me better than Yingjie does. We're family, so let's not be so formal. In the future, if you two have any issues, discuss them together. If you can't decide something, or if you have any disagreements, you can talk to us."

Huo Yingjie nodded and said, "I know, Mom. Come on, you must be thirsty from eating sunflower seeds all the time. Here, have some water."

That brat, she only had to say a few more words before she started protecting him.

"Come on, Tian Tian, ​​have some too," Huo Zhekun said, quickly changing the subject to avoid upsetting his wife who might be petty.

Jiang Lifang glared at Huo Zhekun from a spot where no one else could see her. Was she really that petty?

I ate some sunflower seeds and drank some water; it was almost nine o'clock.

He Tiantian was a little sleepy, so she took a towel and a cup and went to the restrooms on either side of the train to brush her teeth and wash her face.

Huo Yingjie stayed close by, helping him carry things.

"Look how inseparable this young couple is, they're like one big family," Jiang Lifang said enviously, reminding her of her own wedding day.

Huo Zhekun winked and said, "Hehe, we've been through that too. Even now, I'm still pretty clingy to you!"

"Shameless! You're already a father-in-law, you can't do this!" Jiang Lifang scolded, pinching her husband's arm.

How embarrassing it would be if my daughter-in-law saw this!

"It's okay, I only act like this in front of you." Huo Zhekun chuckled, holding his wife's restless little hand.

When He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie arrived, Huo Zhekun and Jiang Lifang also went to wash up and use the restroom before getting ready to rest.

He Tiantian climbed onto the second-level sleeper berth, took off her coat, covered herself with the blanket, and faced outwards, looking at Huo Yingjie opposite her.

If his parents weren't around, he really wanted to bring He Tiantian to him. Although the bed was narrow, he could be his wife's human cushion.

"Goodnight." He Tiantian smiled, pouted her little lips, and gave Huo Yingjie two goodnight kisses from afar.

Looking at He Tiantian's rosy lips, Huo Yingjie felt a surge of heat in his heart.

On the second day of their marriage, they started sleeping in separate beds!

That's so inhumane!

After teasing Huo Yingjie, He Tiantian turned around, her back to him, and went to sleep.

Actually, it's fine; at least I can get a good night's rest.

Although she experienced pleasure later, the initial pain of losing her virginity left a deep impression on her.

Huo Zhekun and Jiang Lifang returned and went to rest.

At night, the train kept stopping and starting, with some people getting off and others getting on.

However, no matter what, they didn't wake the tired He Tiantian, who slept very soundly.

The next morning, He Tiantian woke up to the sound of a train whistle.

Jiang Lifang and Huo Zhekun have already gotten up and are drinking hot water.

He Tiantian put on her coat and got out of bed.

"Good morning, Mom and Dad!" He Tiantian said politely. Although she was still a little unaccustomed to it, she managed not to make a mistake.

"Good morning, Tiantian. How did you sleep last night?" Jiang Lifang asked. As people get older, they sleep less, especially when the night is pounding and they can't sleep well, so they wake up early in the morning.

He Tiantian smiled and said, "She slept well! How about Brother Yingjie?"

“It’s more convenient to wash up over there,” Jiang Lifang said. “You should go too, the food vendors will be coming soon, it’s time for breakfast.”

"Okay." He Tiantian took the towel and went over.

When they arrived, they ran into Huo Yingjie, who was coming out. Seeing that He Tiantian had arrived, he waited for her and went back with her.

Just as we finished tidying up, the train staff pushed the dining cart over.

They took out their lunchboxes and each filled one with rice, two with soup, two with vegetables, and in the enamel mug, there were also tea eggs kept warm with hot water.

He Tiantian was too embarrassed to eat too much, and was only about half full. Fortunately, she still had a lot of pastries in her bag, which she would take out and eat later to stave off her hunger.

Huo Yingjie knew He Tiantian's appetite, so at noon he directly gave her double portions of rice, four dishes, and two soups.

He Tiantian knew she had a big appetite, and although she felt embarrassed, she forced herself to eat two portions of rice. She couldn't let pride prevent her from ever eating properly again.

Fortunately, Jiang Lifang and Huo Zhekun had already heard about He Tiantian's large appetite, so they just smiled kindly and didn't say anything more. It's just that she has a big appetite, it's not like she can't afford to eat.

Besides, being able to eat is a blessing!

Being able to eat well means you're healthy, and if you're healthy, your baby will be healthy too!

Although Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian had just gotten married, Jiang Lifang had already fantasized countless times about her grandchildren calling her "Grandma."

An hour after dinner, around 7 p.m., we finally arrived in Nanshi.

After receiving the telegram, Secretary Guo calculated the time and drove over to pick him up.

Outside, Secretary Guo smoked a cigarette and sighed, "Luckily, the Huo family survived the crisis; otherwise, my future career would have been uncertain."

From the very beginning, he was just a nobody in the Huo family faction.

It's good to have a powerful backer; once he's gained enough seniority, he can be sent out to become the head of a county.

If the Huo family falls, he estimates he'll only ever be a low-level clerk, working his way up to retirement.

Thankfully, thankfully, we've overcome this difficult time.

Secretary Guo personally went to the platform to greet them. When Huo Zhekun and his family came down, there was an extra girl. After seeing her clearly, he realized that it was He Tiantian.

As Huo Zhekun's trusted secretary, he naturally knew Huo Yingjie's fiancée.

"Boss, let me take the luggage." Secretary Guo stepped forward and took the luggage from Huo Zhekun's hands. With him there, how could he let the boss carry the luggage!

"Thank you, Xiao Guo!" Huo Zhekun said with a smile, not being polite with Secretary Guo.

Secretary Guo, carrying a large bag in each hand, walked to the car.

Secretary Guo drove, Huo Zhekun sat in the passenger seat, and Jiang Lifang, He Tiantian, and Huo Yingjie sat in the back, barely able to fit.
