"No need to bother."

"Of course I should."

Ying Han was taken to Teacher Ren’s home by his wife.

The meal took over an hour.

When I got home, Mingjie just came back.

"Mingjie, have you eaten?"

"I ate, and I ate quite a lot. Several leaders invited me to dinner. I'm most afraid of such social events.

Sister-in-law, I came to get my things."

"Why don't you stay here today, in Bai Yu's room."

"No, no, that's not suitable. I've already booked a hotel."

Ying Han looked at him and chuckled, "Nothing much to say."

"How many days do you plan to stay here?"

"If it's quick, it will be done in three or four days, sister-in-law, we can go back together."

"Sure."

"Sister Ying, are there guests at home?"

"Tongtong, why did you come back so early today?"

Tongtong smiled and said, "Today a theatre troupe bought all my cakes at once."

"It's just right, I can find some rest today. Oh, let me introduce you, this is my friend, Li Mingjie. Mingjie, this is Tongtong who is temporarily staying at my house."

"Hello, Brother Li."

"Hello, hello, little comrade."

Mingjie didn't understand what was going on and why there was suddenly one more person, but he didn't ask much. He picked up his things and went back to the hotel to rest. He was exhausted after a busy day.

Tongtong saw that everyone had left, and happily pulled Ying Han to share her achievements today. "Sister Ying, I met a theater troupe today. They said they would be performing here for a week. They want to order my pies and omelets every day, and I can just deliver them to them at 5:30 every day.

I think it's feasible. The theater troupe is not far from the store. I prepare it in advance every day. It's only a ten-minute walk, and a twenty-minute round trip."

"It's easy for your cousin to find out after five o'clock, right?"

Tongtong hesitated for a moment and was also worried about this problem, but when she thought about the troupe ordering so many cakes at once, she couldn't bear to part with them.

She mustered up her courage and said, "I...I will be careful. My cousin's wife and her family have been busy with my uncle's affairs lately, and they don't have the energy to come here right now. They didn't come to collect the money in time yesterday, and only came this morning."

"Well, as long as you have your own ideas. Have you eaten?"

"I've eaten. I bought two fairy tale books for Bai Yu and An An today. I'll tell them stories later."

Tongtong happily went into the room, changed into comfortable clothes, and went to play with Baiyu and Anan.

Ying Han felt that Tongtong was still a child who had not grown up.

Ying Han took advantage of the fact that the children were not disturbing him and called the Deng family.

There happened to be someone at home.

Deng's father received the call, "Dad, Mingjie came to NJ today and said my mom had a broken leg. How is she now?"

"Hanhan, you and the kids will be on vacation soon, right? Your mom isn't seriously injured. It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, so she'll need a few months to recover. But the doctor said your mom is recovering well, and her bones are healing well."

Ying Han thought that Deng Chen was over there and must have given his mother-in-law the water from the space to drink.

"Dad, you still have to go to work. If you need to take care of Mom, just talk to Deng Chen more. He has more freedom at work."

"That's right, it's really thanks to Xiaochen. I've been very busy these days and can't ask for leave. Your sister-in-law has to go to work with the children.

However, it's a little inconvenient for Xiaochen to take care of your mother, so your sister-in-law asked the nanny to come over and take care of your mother for a few days.

I will have a day off today.

This is how we will spend the New Year this year. After the New Year, we will find a nanny. Everything is fine at home, nothing serious.

Your parents came to our house today and brought some gifts to see us.

By the way, I'll go call Xiaochen and ask him to talk to you for a while."

Mr. Deng put down his phone and called Deng Chen.

Ying Han didn't expect Deng Chen to be here. She thought Deng Chen had gone home.

"Hanhan? You know?"

Deng Chen picked up the phone and asked.

"Well, I heard what Mingjie said. Why did you hide it from me?"

Deng Chen smiled faintly over there. "I'm afraid you'd worry, but it's nothing serious. I've already gone home to recuperate."

"Seeing you so tired today and sleeping so soundly, I feel so bad."

“Dad has to work during the day and look after Mom at night, and his body can’t handle it.

I just help out more. My sister-in-law usually comes over too.

Her nanny also came to help a lot.

I just run some extra errands, and I've been busy at work these days."

"Well, I'm off for the next two days. I've agreed with Mingjie that I'll go back with him, and then I'll go take care of my mother-in-law."

"Thank you, girl, but you have to wait for me. I will tell them tomorrow to come and pick you up. I have to pick you and the children up myself, otherwise I won't be able to rest assured on the road."

"What's there to worry about? Didn't Mingjie and I go back together during the summer vacation? Your company isn't busy anymore, right?"

"No matter how busy you are, your wife and children are more important."

Ying Han felt comforted by what she said, even though she said she didn't want him to run back and forth.

But when I heard him say that he would come to pick them up in person, I was still extremely happy.

Ying Han didn't tell him about her quarrel with Jia Ying, thinking that it was unnecessary.

After Ying Han hung up the phone with Deng Chen, he went upstairs and told the two children to wash their faces and go to bed.

Sitting in bed, I reviewed my books, hoping not to fail any of my courses this year.

Generally speaking, Ying Han's grades are among the top five in the class.

Although I went to college in my previous life, I didn't finish it after all.

In this life, I went to university, studied hard, and understood things very thoroughly. Now I am a master's student. Normally, the study period is three years, but those sent by these units are special, so the time is shortened by one year.

Moreover, they are doing experimental research while learning theoretical knowledge.

I have completed the theoretical knowledge in the first half of this year, and now I am mostly doing experimental research.

Ying Han is already preparing her thesis, and if all goes well, she can graduate early.

But she doesn't plan to make any special arrangements and plans to wait until next summer.

It’s convenient that I graduate at the same time as the kids.

When the child enters the first grade, he will go to the primary school near their community.

In a few days, Ying Han also finished his studies for this semester.

The kids have their room today.

Deng Chen arrived in NJ as scheduled this morning.

In fact, he just bought a ticket, and he spent most of the days on the train staying in the space.

"Is everything ready?"

"I'm ready. I'm going out to buy some gifts today. Let's go together."

Deng Chen looked at his watch and nodded. "It's perfect. I can spend the afternoon shopping and pick up the kids from school when I get back."

"Um."

It's rare for two people to go out on the streets together.

Last year, Ying Han bought some local specialties, but this year they are no longer fresh.

Deng Chen said he would bring back some local cigarettes and tea.

Just bring some health-preserving items.

I need them in other spaces, pack them in gift boxes, and bring some out-of-season fruits and vegetables to my friends.
