Jiang Lifang nodded. This was the kind of woman raised in a wealthy family; she understood things immediately.
"Oh, right, didn't your aunt say she wanted to do business with you?" Jiang Lifang asked. Ever since He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie went to Yanjing, she had been worried about this.
He Tiantian smiled and said, "No, I went out with Brother Yingjie during the day, and went back to my room after dinner. After that, I had some free time, and my grandmother and parents came over, so I didn't have time to talk to them."
He Tiantian was also somewhat relieved.
"Hehe, that's good," Jiang Lifang said. "I was worried you'd be in a difficult position!"
She was worried that her daughter-in-law would be mistreated while she was away.
“The time isn’t right now. When the time is right, we’ll open a shop in Yanjing, and I’ll take her with me to do business,” He Tiantian said. “Let her earn some money, otherwise she’ll keep talking about it and it will affect the relationship between the two families.”
He Tiantian already has a plan.
"Well, you can decide for yourself, but don't make things difficult for yourself," Jiang Lifang said. As for the eldest son's family, as long as things are outwardly acceptable, that's fine, especially for Song Chunli.
The relationship between the two families cannot be severed. Even if we disregard Song Chunli's feelings, we must give face to the old man and the old woman, as well as to Huo Zhegan and Huo Yingjun.
"I've remembered, Mom," He Tiantian said. "It's hot lately, so please take care of yourself."
Seeing that He Tiantian was concerned about her health, Jiang Lifang was also very happy.
“Okay, I’ll be careful. You know how busy I am at work. Please put in a good word for me in front of your grandmother,” Jiang Lifang said, worried that her constant work might cause Tian Tian’s grandmother to misunderstand.
“Mom, don’t worry. Grandma is a very kind person. You’re saving lives, and we all understand,” He Tiantian said. “By the way, I have some porridge cooking in the kitchen. I’ll take it over for you. When Grandpa comes back, you can have some.”
“Okay, I’ll bring the stove over too,” Jiang Lifang said. “Your father-in-law will probably drink, so he won’t eat much. Making some porridge will be just right. You’re so thoughtful.”
Huo Yingjie carried the stove, and Jiang Lifang carried the porridge; they went next door.
Huo Yingjie also brewed some hangover tea in a thermos and said, "Mom, this is a hangover tea that I had an old Chinese medicine doctor make. If Dad drinks alcohol, give him some before he eats his porridge."
"Great!" Jiang Lifang was delighted. Her son and daughter-in-law were filial, and as a mother, she was naturally very happy.
The couple checked the house thoroughly before washing up and returning to their room.
He Tiantian lay down on the bed and didn't want to move.
Huo Yingjie lay down on his side next to He Tiantian and asked softly, "Are you tired?"
"Mmm!" He Tiantian nodded. Although she was very happy, the car ride and the non-stop work at home had indeed made her a little tired.
"Then I'll give you a massage," Huo Yingjie said. "Lie down properly!"
He Tiantian lay on the bed, closing her eyes to rest.
Huo Yingjie gently pressed from He Tiantian's head, neck, down to her back, and strands of divine power penetrated into He Tiantian's body through the acupoints.
"Mmm...so comfortable..." He Tiantian hummed happily, "Honey, continue..."
Huo Yingjie automatically interpreted these words as something else entirely.
He Tiantian was really tired, and even though Huo Yingjie wanted to do something, he couldn't bear to let her go.
Huo Yingjie carefully massaged He Tiantian, then lit a calming incense stick, and He Tiantian slept even more soundly.
He Tiantian slept soundly through the night without any dreams.
It was already 6:30 a.m. when He Tiantian got up.
In the courtyard, Bai Qiongyu was practicing a slow boxing routine with He Jingyu and Wang Shuping. This was taught to her father by Huo Yingjie, and her father, finding it good, probably taught it to her grandmother and mother as well.
"Grandma, you've started practicing boxing too?" He Tiantian asked. "Yes, judging by how proficient you are, you must have been doing it for a year or two."
“Yes, I’ve been practicing for two years. Your father saw that I was physically weak, so he taught me boxing. At first, I didn’t believe it, but after practicing for a month, my hands and feet became lighter, so I persisted. In the past year or so, apart from one cold, my health has been excellent. When I had my physical examination this year, the family doctor even said that my physical condition was better than that of my peers,” Bai Qiongyu explained. “Since it’s so effective, I’ll get your mother to practice with me. You, when you have time, ask Yingjie to teach you. Health is the foundation; without health, everything else is just empty talk.”
"Yes, Grandma is right. I'll practice with her from now on." He Tiantian nodded repeatedly. She wanted to stay with Yingjie for a long time, and live a healthy life until old age.
After He Tiantian finished speaking, she went to prepare breakfast.
The rice cooker has already cooked porridge, and the vegetables have been prepared.
Huo Yingjie went outside and bought steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and tofu rolls.
I made a Chinese breakfast today, including several sandwiches. We didn't have milk at home, only soy milk.
"If it's inconvenient to make Western-style breakfasts at home in the future, then don't make them anymore," Bai Qiongyu said with a smile. Although the taste was good, she didn't want to trouble He Tiantian.
"Grandma, is it not tasty?" He Tiantian asked. "If it's not tasty, I'll ask Brother Yingjie to get up early and buy new bread."
"It's delicious," Bai Qiongyu said. "I just thought it was too much trouble. You work so hard, I didn't want to tire you out."
“It’s alright, Grandma, it’s just something I did on the side,” He Tiantian said. “Besides, it’s summer vacation now, I don’t have to work, and there’s nothing going on at the shop. I just cook for my family, so I’m not busy.”
"Great!" Bai Qiongyu said, "It's delicious, I like it very much."
"Okay, I'll prepare more ingredients today so we can make something even tastier tomorrow," He Tiantian said with a smile. Cooking for her family is, in her heart, an expression of love.
I want to do something for my family and express my love.
After breakfast, Bai Qiongyu and He Jingyu went to the municipal government; they still had many things to discuss.
Wang Shuping stays at home helping He Tiantian take care of the children.
"Mom, Grandma and Dad aren't coming at noon. How about we take Grandma Wang with us to Grandma's?" He Tiantian suggested. She hadn't seen Grandma Qi for a while and missed her.
Wang Shuping nodded repeatedly and said, "I also want to visit my godmother. As for your father and grandmother, when they come back tonight, I'll have them go directly to my godmother's place so we can all have a good get-together."
"Okay, then I'll get ready," He Tiantian said, beaming with joy.
While He Tiantian was packing her things, Qi Zhenghan's driver arrived, saying that the old lady had invited them over.
“Mom, look, Grandma isn’t coming over because she doesn’t want me to work so hard cooking. She has a housekeeper and even sent a car to pick us up,” He Tiantian said. “She’s thinking the same thing as us.”
“Yes, I also bought a gift for my godmother, so I’ll take it with me.” Wang Shuping was also very happy and couldn’t wait to go to her godmother’s place.
