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...

However, this is not the time to say goodbye to the students.
"Alright, the exams are coming up soon, and the students are studying. I'll talk about this after they finish their exams," He Tiantian said. "Please keep this a secret for me!"
“Okay, we’ll keep it a secret,” Mi Wei said. “When are you going to Yanjing? We’ll see you off.”
"Okay," He Tiantian said. "Thank you. I'll go check on the classroom first."
After He Tiantian left.
Wang Bin finally spoke up, saying, "Teacher He's partner is truly blessed to have married such a wonderful wife. By the way, Teacher Chen, do you know what Teacher He's partner does?"
"Yes, yes, we also want to know. She's so good-looking, even better-looking than movie stars," said Teacher Wu.
“I don’t know what he did before, but I do know that when Teacher He was admitted to university, the file he was transferred to was the file of an educated youth sent to the countryside. As for Huo Yingjie’s file, it was marked as top secret and was sent directly to the safe in the dean’s office.”
"Cough cough!" Mi Wei exclaimed in surprise, choking on his water. "Top secret file! This person's past identity or job is extremely mysterious!"
"Yes, that's not all," said Teacher Chen. "In his junior year, Teacher He didn't even date anyone. He was transferred away with a single order. His university thesis wasn't supervised by any professors in the Chemistry Department. Instead, it was written by his supervisor at his workplace, using actual projects as data. Anyway, the teachers at our school aren't qualified to read that thesis."
"My God, that's amazing!" Mi Wei exclaimed. "I never would have guessed, he was just a pretty boy!"
"You can't judge a book by its cover," Teacher Chen said. "It's good that you know this, but you can't just say it carelessly."
Actually, many people know about this, which is why Teacher Chen brought it up.
“Yes, we won’t say.” Wang Bin nodded and didn’t ask any more questions.
This further confirms that He Tiantian's family is no ordinary family.
He Tiantian looked into the classroom through the window and saw that the students were reviewing diligently, so she quietly left.
With exams in ten days, it's the students' review time, so He Tiantian doesn't need to go to school and can stay home with Huo Yingjie. Thinking about how Huo Yingjie can come home every day from now on, she feels very happy.
"By the way, Brother Yingjie, I applied for a passport to go abroad, but it's been more than twenty days and it still hasn't been approved." He Tiantian was a little distressed. She had originally planned to go abroad.
"Ahem!" Huo Yingjie looked somewhat embarrassed. "Hehe, I guess it will be very difficult for you to go abroad in the future."
"Why?" He Tiantian asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Because the projects I work on are all at the forefront internationally, some of which haven't been researched even abroad," Huo Yingjie explained, avoiding He Tiantian's eyes.
"Huh?" He Tiantian was taken aback. "You're so amazing? The materials you researched aren't even available overseas?"
"Hmm, maybe so, but no one else has revealed it," Huo Yingjie said, which is why he requested that it be kept secret.
"Oh," He Tiantian nodded, "Then forget it."
"I'm sorry to disappoint you," Huo Yingjie apologized. He figured he'd never be able to go abroad again, and as for Tian Tian, that was probably going to be a long shot too.
"It's okay," He Tiantian said. "It's because you're so outstanding. It's alright, I won't blame you. My parents have a private jet, so it's more convenient for them to come back."
"Sweetie, thank you for your understanding." Huo Yingjie was grateful that his wife understood him so well.
“We are husband and wife, we are one, and you are working and contributing to the country, how could I not understand?” He Tiantian said, “Okay, don’t feel guilty, I am very happy.”
Huo Yingjie held He Tiantian tightly, feeling an unprecedented sense of happiness and peace of mind.
Time flies, and a week has passed.
Huo Yingjie carried the luggage prepared by He Tiantian, boarded the train with ease, and headed straight for Yanjing.
Niu Dajun personally came to pick up Huo Yingjie.
"Yingjie, your room has been cleaned up, and we've bought you some things inside. If you're not satisfied, we can have it changed," Niu Dajun said, clearly delighted to hear that Huo Yingjie was coming to work in Yanjing.
Qi Xiaoyan felt the same way; she always thought that since Huo Yingjie had come to Yanjing, it wouldn't be long before He Tiantian came to Yanjing too.
"Thank you, Brother Dajun," Huo Yingjie said with a smile. "How's your work in Yanjing going?"
“It went smoothly. Both shops are finished and are currently being renovated. Huashan is over there keeping an eye on things, so he didn’t come to pick you up,” Niu Dajun explained. “By the way, let me take you home first to drop off your luggage. Then bring your two brothers and come to my house for dinner. Xiaoyan and my parents are preparing at home.”
"Hehe, then I won't stand on ceremony," Huo Yingjie said. "By the way, did Xiaoyan get accepted?"
"I passed the exam and became a student of Teacher Gu," Niu Dajun said. "When school starts, I can go to school. My child is in the preparatory class and will be in first grade when school starts."
"Aren't they a bit young?" Huo Yingjie asked. Niu Da and Niu Er were only a year older than the children in the family.
"Don't even mention it," Niu Dajun said with a bitter face. "They're not old, but they're huge. The two brothers were unbeatable in the preschool class. The preschool class teacher made it clear to us that they must go to primary school when school starts, and they can't stay in the preschool class to cause trouble for the other children."
"Hehe, your child does look a bit older than others," Huo Yingjie chuckled. "But you still need to teach him properly; he can't hit people."
“I told Xiaoyan that hitting her wouldn’t help, and she’d forget about it as soon as she turned around,” Niu Dajun said. “Xiaoyan and I have been very busy for the past six months. And that’s not all; we have to go to the school every few days to apologize to the beaten children and their parents. In this year alone, we’ve spent over a thousand yuan on compensation and apology gifts. We’re such spendthrifts.”
Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "Actually, your child isn't a bad person by nature, just a bit mischievous. He'll be better when he gets older."
“That’s what we thought before, but it doesn’t work now. We still need to manage them strictly,” Niu Dajun said, his voice trembling with emotion as he spoke of his children.
When I was little, I was naughty and annoying, but not very destructive. Now that I'm grown up, I can disappear in the blink of an eye.
Soon after, they arrived home. Huo Yingjie put his things down and took a look at the yard. It was spotless, and the paint and other surfaces in the other areas had already been painted.
Niu Dajun and Huashan are quite good at doing things.
"Let's go to my house for dinner," Niu Dajun said. Although there were pots and pans here, the journey had been tiring, and cooking would be too much work.
Furthermore, Qi Xiaoyan had already said she wanted to invite Huo Yingjie to dinner, so Niu Dajun was determined to bring Huo Yingjie back no matter what.
