Curious, Xiao Chen took a look and asked, "Teacher He, was this also written by your student? Is it in traditional Chinese characters? Oh, it was published in Hong Kong."

“Yes, at that time Tang Ping’an was just a very shy boy. While many people were writing lyrical essays, he started writing novels himself, and in traditional Chinese characters,” He Tiantian said. “He mustered up the courage to show them to me. They were very well written, so I used my connections to send his martial arts novel to a Hong Kong magazine. I never expected it to actually be published.”

Teacher Zhou and Teacher Liu came in after class, looking somewhat curious.

Teacher Chen quickly explained the poems to everyone, and Teacher Zhou, surprised, asked, "Teacher He, could I take a look at the poetry collection?"

“Okay.” He Tiantian nodded, hoping that more people would recognize her students.

Teacher Liu and Teacher Zhou wanted to read that martial arts novel.

After reading it once, Teacher Zhou exclaimed, "The writing is beautiful, and the emotions are expressed with ease. I can hardly believe that this was written by a student."

He Tiantian took it and studied it carefully.

I found these sentences to be very beautiful, and there was always a powerful force behind their beauty.

He Tiantian thought for a moment, then wrote to Yuan Hua, asking her to send a copy of her poetry collection to Xie Wanying so she could see if it could be published in Hong Kong, or perhaps adapted into songs.

He Tiantian quickly wrote the letter and planned to mail it when she returned home at noon.

He Tiantian only hadn't read the second volume, so she lent the first two volumes to Teacher Liu and Teacher Chen. However, she was told to keep them carefully, as they were a gift from her students and should be treasured.

At noon, He Tiantian went to mail a letter.

If it can be published in Hong Kong, not only will there be a royalty fee, but it might also be noticed by a music company and adapted into a song, bringing in another source of income.

With a comfortable material life, Yuan Hua was able to focus wholeheartedly on creating even more beautiful poems.

In the office, many people envied Teacher He for having such students.

For a period of time afterward, He Tiantian frequently received magazines or books, all sent by students from Nanshi, informing Teacher He of their grades.

He Tiantian also praised them one by one.

On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, He Tiantian personally arranged for the Sanfengqiao Pastry Shop in Nanshi to deliver a super-sized cake and some other snacks to Class 1 of the Chinese Department in 1980, sponsoring them to hold a class reunion.

Although teachers and students cannot meet in person, they maintain contact privately.

This connection may diminish over time, but it will always remain in each other's hearts.

Starting from Friday, He Tiantian will no longer have to attend classes.

I'm in a great mood.

Besides visiting relatives, checking out shops, and reviewing accounts, He Tiantian also wanted to host a small gathering at home.

However, when Huo Yingjie returned that evening, he told her Zhou Yuanchao that Wang Ying had arrived in Yanjing.

He Tiantian thought for a moment and said, "I happen to be free tomorrow, so I'll go to Zhou Yuanchao's house and see what we're missing, and get it for him."

"Thank you for your hard work." Huo Yingjie smiled. "I'll go to Yuanchao's house tomorrow. You wait for me there, and we'll come back together."

“Okay.” He Tiantian nodded. She treated her husband’s good brother sincerely and also became good friends with Wang Ying.

The next day, He Tiantian sent her child to school and then went to Huo Yingjie's address.

This is the house that Zhou Yuanchao's work unit allocated to him. It has three bedrooms and two living rooms, and is over 120 square meters. It's quite large.

Wang Ying lived on the third floor, and He Tiantian went upstairs and knocked on the door.

Wang Ying opened the door and saw He Tiantian. She exclaimed with delight, "Sister-in-law, come in quickly! I don't know anyone here, and I'm so glad to finally see someone I know!"

"Where's Xiaobin?" He Tiantian asked as she came in carrying some things.

"The child is sleeping," Wang Ying whispered. "Sister-in-law, the room is messy, I'm tidying up, please excuse the mess."

"It's like this since we just moved in. I came here today to help out and see if you need anything." He Tiantian said with a smile, put her things down, and started helping Wang Ying pack.

Wang Ying smiled and, without being as polite as He Tiantian, said, "Sister-in-law, I won't stand on ceremony with you. I also want to get the house tidied up as soon as possible. Yuanchao went to work yesterday, and I'm going to work tomorrow. If I'm not careful, I might have to wait until my day off to tidy up."

"Hehe, how is your father-in-law's health?" He Tiantian asked. The reason Zhou Yuanchao arrived so late was because his stepfather was not in good health.

At this point, Wang Ying was furious. She said, "Oh, my father-in-law is perfectly healthy. He just doesn't want to leave Inner Mongolia, so he pretends to be sick! Yuanchao takes care of him day and night. But when he hears that we're taking him to the hospital, he berates Yuanchao, saying that he has given everything to the Eternal Heaven and is not going anywhere. It was my mother-in-law who found out and found out that the old man didn't want to leave his hometown."

"Oh, if your stepfather isn't coming, then your mother-in-law can't come either, right?" He Tiantian asked. Zhou Yuanchao had always hoped to be able to take care of his parents nearby, but due to work, he had never been able to do so.

“Yes!” Wang Ying smiled bitterly. “Although Yuanchao was angry, he didn’t blame his stepfather. He said that his stepfather had always treated him like his own son since he was a child, and even after his sister was born, he treated her the same way. This is also why Yuanchao wanted to bring his parents over to take care of them. After all, they are getting old and he doesn’t feel at ease leaving them in their hometown.”

“Yes, the old man is attached to his homeland.” He Tiantian nodded. “You should also try to persuade Yuanchao to think more positively; he’s already been very filial. By the way, don’t you have a younger sister-in-law? How old is she?”

Wang Ying was delighted to see He Tiantian asking about her sister-in-law, and said, "My sister-in-law is a cheerful grassland girl, fifteen years old, with a round, rosy face, she's especially cute. It's because of her that Yuanchao and my stepfather haven't been arguing at home."

"Does your sister-in-law have any special skills?" He Tiantian asked, an idea already forming in her mind.

Wang Ying thought for a moment and said, "Being able to ride horses and herd livestock, would that count as a special skill?"

"I guess so, but it seems to only be useful on the grasslands, not in Yanjing," He Tiantian said with difficulty. "For example, singing, dancing..."

“Yes, yes, my sister-in-law Sarina loves to sing, and she sings exceptionally well. She even won first place in a singing competition this year,” Wang Ying said. “Sister Tian, ​​are you suggesting that my sister-in-law apply to a music academy here?”

“Hehe, if the young lady likes to sing, and she’s from an ethnic minority, her chances should be pretty good. As you know, uniting all ethnic groups is the consistent principle of the Party Central Committee. Once your sister-in-law comes to Yanjing, your parents-in-law will come too,” He Tiantian said with a smile. It had to be said that this was a good idea.

It would be painful for anyone to be unable to take care of their elderly parents.
