Huo Yingjie has begun his life as a stay-at-home dad.
Of course, he also sent telegrams to his family in Yanjing and Nanshi.
When Jiang Lifang heard that He Tiantian had given birth to twins, she wished she could grow wings and fly over to visit her.
“Old Huo, the exam is in a month and a half. The child is so young, what should we do?” Jiang Lifang said, especially since they had already moved He Tiantian’s household registration from Taoyuan County to Nanshi, and she had to take the college entrance examination in Nanshi.
Also, now that we have two children, even if they pass the exam, how will the daughter-in-law go to school?
After listening, Huo Zhekun thought about it carefully and said, "Old He and his wife are both highly educated. If Tian Tian gets into university, they will definitely let her go to school. After all, the He family has a long history of education and they won't let Tian Tian stay in junior high school forever."
“Yes, that’s why I’m in a dilemma!” Jiang Lifang said. “How about this, I’ll retire and stay home to take care of the children.”
Huo Zhekun thought it was too early for his wife to retire before she was even fifty.
"Don't rush into it. Let's not talk about this yet. Let's see what the young couple thinks before making any plans," Huo Zhekun said. "You're still young and a key member of the hospital. It would be a waste to retire now. Besides, you love this job so much, you can't give it up so easily. As for your grandchildren, don't worry. If there's really no one to take care of them, we can find someone we know to help."
After listening, Jiang Lifang felt that her husband had considered things quite comprehensively, and said, "You're right, we respect Yingjie and Tiantian's decision. We don't have any vacation time now, and we can't go there. I'll quickly pack my things and send some things to Tiantian and the children."
Huo Zhekun stopped him, saying, "Just send the child more money and tickets, don't send anything else. Tian Tian and Ying Jie will probably be coming to Nanshi with the child soon, and then they'll have to bring back lots of things, why bother?"
"Old Huo, you're so thoughtful. I forgot again," Jiang Lifang praised. "But aren't it a bit inappropriate to let such young children ride the train?"
Huo Zhekun frowned, also worried, and said, "But we can't just leave the child in Qijia Village when they come back to take the exam. After all, the child is so young, still breastfeeding!"
Jiang Lifang smiled wryly and said, "Yes, it's really worrying! How about we pick them up by bus?"
Huo Zhekun smiled wryly and said, "My beat-up Jeep is not as comfortable as taking the train!"
“That’s true,” Jiang Lifang said. “If you sit for a while, you’ll feel uncomfortable from the bumpy ride, let alone such a long journey.”
"Don't panic!" Huo Zhekun said. "I'll write to them and ask what to do."
“Okay, I’ll ask first,” Jiang Lifang agreed.
The same question is being considered by both Mr. and Mrs. Huo.
This is not yet the era of rampant privilege, and the two old people are at their wits' end. The only thing they can do is send Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian more money, tickets, and some nice things.
When Huo Yingjie received letters from his parents and grandparents, he also thought about this issue.
It's early summer now, not too hot yet. Once she's out of confinement, taking the train won't be a problem, but the baby is so small, what should we do?
Seeing He Tiantian's worried face, Huo Yingjie put his arm around her shoulder and said softly, "Don't worry, I'm here, everything will be alright."
"How about I skip the exam and wait until next year?" He Tiantian said. She had studied for so long; even if she didn't take it this year, she could pass next year. There was no need for her child to suffer for the sake of the exam.
Huo Yingjie was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "You've been preparing for so long, and you really want to go to school. Your father-in-law and mother-in-law feel the same way. If you don't take the exam, they'll probably be unhappy."
“I’m not happy, but there’s nothing I can do. The children are so young, I don’t want them to suffer. By this time next year, they’ll be older and won’t have any problem taking the train,” He Tiantian said. Since having children, she puts them first in everything she considers, even Huo Yingjie comes second.
Huo Yingjie smiled bitterly to himself. What he really wanted to say was that, let alone taking a train, even taking an airplane or flying on a sword, with his father around, it wouldn't be a problem.
However, he didn't want to talk too much about his supernatural abilities in front of He Tiantian, but He Tiantian also automatically ignored Huo Yingjie's extraordinary skills.
"Alright, let's think of another way." Huo Yingjie could only say softly. He also felt sorry for the two children, but he didn't want to sacrifice He Tiantian's ideals and the life she wanted in the future for the sake of the children.
His woman can do whatever she wants!
Live life to the fullest, without fear!
Or, you could say, enjoy life as you please!
However, just as everyone was immersed in joy, and at the same time had some minor troubles, Qi Shuliang and Bai Qiongyu took a special national train directly to Taoyuan County.
He Tiantian was happy, that's wonderful!
Once she finishes her postpartum confinement, she can take the baby back to Nanshi by special train.
The baby is now over twenty days old. Unlike when she was first born, with her skin red and wrinkled, she has become fair and lovely, with big eyes, long eyelashes, and a rosy little face.
Bai Qiongyu was so fond of the two children that she held them tightly in her arms.
“Grandma, the child is small, but you’ve had a long journey. Please don’t carry her,” He Tiantian said, not wanting to tire her grandmother, who is almost seventy years old.
Although I have always been in good health, I am getting old after all!
Bai Qiongyu put down her sister and went to hug her brother, saying with a smile, "I'm perfectly fine, it'll be okay to hug him for a while, so don't worry about it."
Seeing her grandmother say this, He Tiantian didn't know how to continue, so she changed the subject: "Grandmother, did you come here specifically to see me and the child?"
Bai Qiongyu smiled and said, "Yes, I came here specifically to see you. However, I also attended a meeting in Yanjing, which is why I had a special train to ride in."
"No wonder," He Tiantian laughed. "This solves a big problem for me. Yingjie and I were just wondering how to get back to Nanshi!"
"Hehe, you're so stubborn. If you had come to America with me, you wouldn't have had this kind of trouble," Bai Qiongyu said. "However, this is the path you've chosen, and I support you. I hope you'll be happy and have your own life."
"Thank you, Grandma," He Tiantian said gratefully. Her parents had repeatedly delayed their trip abroad for her sake, leaving her grandmother alone overseas, which was truly unfilial.
"No need to thank me, you are my granddaughter, we are family." Bai Qiongyu said, "Seeing how happy you are now, I can rest assured. I know you are not interested in the Bai family business, so I can only take Dou Dou away and raise him well. Taking him away means your parents will also go abroad, and you will be alone in the country from now on. You will have to rely on yourself for everything."
