1970, A Bit Sweet

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...

Chapter 604 Knowing When to Retreat and Following

604

Almost no one believed that He Tiantian was married and had children, because it didn't seem like it at all.

Huang Jingli smiled and said, "He Tiantian is already married and her child is six months old."

"Oh, okay." Qin Li nodded. "Aren't you also a sent-down youth? Where's your husband?"

He Tiantian smiled, looked outside the classroom, and said, "Yes, but there's no rule that educated youth can't have children! Hehe, my husband is here to pick me up. I'm leaving now, see you this afternoon."

After packing her books, He Tiantian said goodbye to everyone.

Once outside, Huo Yingjie took He Tiantian's schoolbag.

Watching He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie's departing figures, Qin Li sighed, "They...they're so good-looking..."

"Hehe, that's right, a perfect match," Huang Jingli said. "Let's go, stop looking, let's go eat together."

Huo Yingjie was also amazed when he first met He Tiantian.

It was very hot at noon, but He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie still insisted on going home.

They can't rest easy without seeing their two children, who are always on their minds.

There's no lunch break after lunch, but that doesn't matter.

After Huo Yingjie brought He Tiantian to the classroom, more people saw Huo Yingjie, and many in the class had to accept the fact that He Tiantian was already married and had children.

Single men are filled with resentment; single women, on the other hand, are extremely fortunate.

That's good, at least there aren't so many stares anymore.

In this era, unless someone is malicious or extremely wicked, no one would harass a married woman, even if she is very beautiful.

This saved He Tiantian a lot of trouble!

She wasn't afraid of those people bothering her, but she was afraid that Huo Yingjie would get jealous!

Jealous men are particularly petty and immature.

Although he was concerned about her, he sometimes annoyed He Tiantian.

However, He Tiantian can put herself in others' shoes. By the same token, if Huo Yingjie were to be all lovey-dovey with other women, she would also get angry and jealous.

After all, Huo Yingjie was an outstanding man, with a handsome face and a dashing appearance.

This was the first college entrance examination in ten years. It's fair to say that those who were able to get into university were all hardworking and ambitious. Even if they had romantic feelings, they put them behind their studies.

Therefore, the learning atmosphere at the school is excellent.

On this day, when Huo Yingjie went to pick up He Tiantian, he ran into Hua Shan talking to a middle-aged man.

"Junior Uncle, you've finally arrived!" Hua Shan said excitedly. "We found a giant tortoise that has become a spirit at Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian's house in Nanshi."

Cui Heng was taken aback, then frowned and asked, "Are there really giant turtles that have become sentient?"

"I didn't believe it before, but after seeing that giant tortoise, I do," Hua Shan said. "I looked up some information about it, and it looks a bit like the ancient Xuan Turtle!"

"A spinning tortoise?" Cui Heng's eyes lit up. "Interesting! Then I'll be staying in Nanshi for a while."

"What is your current identity?" Hua Shan asked. This junior uncle was quite a remarkable person.

He always needs a very respectable identity whenever he needs to stay in a place for a period of time. I don't know how Junior Uncle manages to do that!

Cui Heng smiled and said, "Since you can all get into university, I'm old enough to naturally become a professor. I'm currently a professor in the Department of History and Archaeology at Nanshi University! You'll be my student from now on, so you'd better pay attention in class!"

"Yes, Uncle-Master." Hua Shan nodded. He dared not be careless, as his junior uncle would scold people if he was unhappy.

Huashan doesn't want to become the target of his junior uncle's daily attacks.

Just then, Huo Yingjie walked over as if nothing had happened.

He can't not come; someone's eyeing his little tortoise!

"Huashan, you're here too. This is..." Huo Yingjie pretended not to recognize Cui Heng. The man looked like a middle-aged man, but he had sharp eyes and could tell at a glance that he was wearing a human skin mask.

Previously in Qijia Village, Huo Yingjie ignored them, but now that these people have come after him, he can't afford to be careless.

Considering that the giant tortoise was in Huo Yingjie's yard, if they wanted to see it, they would have to go to Huo Yingjie's house. So Hua Shan was very hospitable and introduced, "Yingjie, this is Cui Ying's uncle, Professor Cui, who works in the Department of History and Archaeology. He is my teacher and used to participate in archaeological work in the back mountain of Qijia Village. You should have met him before."

"Professor Cui, hello," Huo Yingjie said respectfully, very politely.

Huo Yingjie never believed that arrogance was the best way to display status and aura. On the contrary, being polite was a better way to show a person's cultivation and aura.

Huo Yingjie's appearance caused Cui Heng to squint his eyes.

When he was in Qijia Village, Cui Heng had seen Huo Yingjie from afar but didn't pay much attention to him. However, when they stood close together, face to face, he could always feel an instinctive tension.

This tension came on inexplicably.

Cui Heng immediately intensified his senses, but then he couldn't sense anything at all, which left him feeling somewhat frustrated and confused.

"Hello, I didn't expect we'd all be so lucky to meet. It's truly a rare opportunity to get to know each other in Qijia Village and then study together in Nanshi," Cui Heng said. "I hope you all get along well in the future and avoid any conflicts."

"Yes, Professor Cui," Hua Shan replied with a smile.

Huo Yingjie nodded and said, "That's natural. Indeed, as you said, it's all fate that we can get together."

"Okay, you guys chat first. I have something to do, so I'll head back to my office." Cui Heng said goodbye. Now that he'd struck up a conversation, there would be plenty of opportunities to chat later.

After Cui Heng left, Hua Shan looked at Huo Yingjie and asked, "Yingjie, are you going to pick up He Tiantian?"

"Yes." Huo Yingjie nodded. "Together?"

Hua Shan blushed slightly and said shyly, "Then let's go together. I also need to pick up Cui Ying."

Hua Shan longs to be with his junior sister Cui Ying, but his master gives him a task to test him, hoping that he can pass the test before he can marry his junior sister.

But so far, he has not completed his mission and doesn't know when he will be able to become a couple with his junior sister.

To outsiders, their relationship didn't seem close, but hearing Huo Yingjie's ambiguous smile, they guessed that Huo Yingjie knew about their relationship.

The two remained silent on the way to the Chinese Literature Department.

Huang Jingli was very envious and said to the two beauties next to her, "Oh, you two are so lucky. One of you already has a husband and children, and the other has a loyal suitor. Only I am a lonely old maid. How pitiful."

Huang Jingli left Qijia Village, escaping Lin Xiaoru's threats and control, and became much more cheerful.

"If you're envious, then hurry up and find someone and have a passionate romance," He Tiantian said with a smile. "When you get married, I'll give you a big gift."
