Before we knew it, it was the weekend.

It's now a one-day-off-week, with Sunday off.

He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie couldn't stay home to spend time with Ruimin and Ruihua; they were going to visit Professor Wang and Professor Gu.

Professor Wang and Professor Gu lived in the original faculty dormitory building.

Although the path is worn and weathered, it is now filled with the laughter of children and has come back to life.

He Tiantian found the place according to the address.

"Oh, Tiantian, Yingjie, it's you! Come in, come in!" Professor Wang opened the door and was overjoyed to see He Tiantian.

He Tiantian handed over the fruit and a chicken she had bought, saying, "Professor Wang, Professor Gu, please forgive me for only visiting you now."

"Oh dear, you're busy with school and taking care of the kids, where do you find the time?" Professor Wang said. In Qijia Village, it was thanks to He Tiantian's comforting words that she and the old man were able to think things through.

Secretary Qi of Qijia Village is a good person. She doesn't mistreat them and makes sure they have enough to eat, so she and the old man have always been in good health.

Sigh, after returning this time, I found that many of my former colleagues were either no longer alive or were on their deathbeds.

"Hehe, I come over whenever I have time now," He Tiantian said. "Please accept this."

"You're still so polite. You came all this way, and even brought things." Professor Wang said politely, but she didn't stand on ceremony with He Tiantian. She accepted the things and put them in the kitchen.

"Where is Professor Gu?" He Tiantian asked. She had been inside for a while but hadn't seen Professor Gu yet.

“He went to a meeting,” Professor Wang said. “There is a shortage of teachers at the university. We have already reached retirement age, but we have been rehired to continue contributing our expertise.”

Professor Wang was very happy when she said these words; she could finally stand on the podium again.

"Then you and Professor Gu should take care of yourselves!" He Tiantian said. "A class is so long, you should bring your chairs so you can take a break whenever you want, so you don't get tired!"

"We're in good health, we're fine," Professor Wang said. "Once we've trained new teachers, we can retire and enjoy our old age."

Spending their twilight years in seclusion must be incredibly difficult for them!

While He Tiantian was happy for them, she was also impressed by Professor Wang's radiant appearance and his pride in contributing his remaining energy.

"By the way, Professor Wang, you and Professor Gu are back. What about Uncle Qian and Uncle Sun?" He Tiantian asked. "They must be back too, right?"

Professor Wang smiled and said, "Their backgrounds weren't good in the past, but they've already submitted their documents and should be back by the end of the year."

"That's wonderful!" He Tiantian said. "Things are much better now than before, and things will only get more relaxed in the future..."

"A society governed by the rule of law is urgently needed," Professor Wang said. "The signals released by the college entrance examination show that the country has begun to reverse its mistakes and return to the normal track."

Professor Wang is already content to have witnessed this day in his lifetime.

He Tiantian helped Professor Wang cook. At noon, Professor Gu bought steamed buns and mantou from the cafeteria and came back. He was very happy to see He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie.

"I'll cook a few extra dishes today to thank you for taking care of us old folks," Professor Gu said. "If it weren't for Tian Tian, ​​we two old folks wouldn't know what would have become of us!"

He Tiantian shook her head repeatedly and said, "The two professors are highly respected. I only did a small thing."

In her previous life, even without her, Professor Wang and Professor Gu returned safely to Nanshi, so she felt unworthy of Professor Gu's gratitude.

"Your small act back then was like sending charcoal in snowy weather!" Professor Gu said. "We've always remembered it."

At noon, Professor Wang prepared a table of dishes to thank He Tiantian.

After dinner, Professor Wang and He Tiantian chatted while doing housework in the kitchen. Professor Gu and Huo Yingjie, on the other hand, discussed future university trends over tea in the living room.

Professor Gu obtained some novel ideas from Huo Yingjie.

In the afternoon, when He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie returned home, the two elderly people saw them off for a long distance.

On the way, Huo Yingjie pushed his bicycle, and He Tiantian walked silently on the inside of him.

"Things are getting better and better now, so why are you looking so worried?" Huo Yingjie asked softly, looking at He Tiantian.

He Tiantian smiled and said, "I'm not frowning, I'm just thinking about something. Back then, Professor Gu, Professor Wang, and I arrived in Qijia Village in the same year. Although we experienced a lot in Qijia Village, we were all relatively well and everyone was safe and sound, which is very fortunate."

"It's all in the past, everything is fine, that's good." Huo Yingjie smiled. "The road ahead is still long, let's look forward together."

"Yes." He Tiantian nodded and smiled, "No matter what happens in the future, I'll feel at ease knowing you're by my side."

Back home, the two little ones giggled and laughed, their faces beaming with joy.

Hearing the child's laughter, He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie's worries vanished.

A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and autumn has arrived.

A light drizzle was falling outside, but as autumn arrives, each layer of autumn rain brings a layer of coolness, and everyone put on their thick autumn clothes.

My baby is over seven months old and can already crawl. I can't leave him alone for even a moment.

Once, He Tiantian was folding clothes while taking care of her child. Suddenly, Huo Ruimin fell off the bed and bumped his head, which made He Tiantian cry.

In contrast, little Huo Ruimin, after wailing a few times, acted as if nothing had happened and continued crawling around on the big bed, quite mischievous. His son, Huo Ruihua, on the other hand, was more well-behaved, or perhaps lazier.

I'd rather lie down than crawl.

At first, He Tiantian suspected that there might be something wrong with her son, so she took him to the hospital and had her mother-in-law examine him. All the results showed that the child was fine, but he just didn't like to move.

The doctor put it very tactfully, but it really boiled down to one word: "lazy."

Being lazy has its advantages; at least you won't fall off the bed. Mischievous Huo Ruimin gets into trouble every few days.

I really don't understand how these two children could have such different personalities!

"Alright, you didn't do it on purpose. The child is young, it's normal for him to bump and bruise himself." Huo Yingjie saw that He Tiantian was still sullen and blaming herself, so he gently comforted her.

He Tiantian wiped away her tears and said, "It was all my fault. If I had been just a little off, it would have hit my eyes."

“Alright, from now on we’ll take turns. When you’re working, just call me and I’ll watch the child. I’ll make sure the child doesn’t get hurt. Is that alright?” Huo Yingjie said, though he was also a little worried that the child, who was being pampered like this, might become a spoiled brat in the future.
