After returning home, He Tiantian changed into a stylish wool coat, sky blue in color, which was very fitted, and wore a pink turtleneck sweater underneath.
Because it was quite windy today, and He Tiantian's hair was very long, she didn't tie it up because the wind would make it messy. So she put her hair up in a bun at the back of her head, with a pink jade hairpin in the bun, and blue teardrop-shaped gemstone earrings on her ears.
The things He Tiantian bought at the Overseas Chinese Store have already been delivered home. He Tiantian prepared a piece of fine silk fabric for Mrs. Qian, in a deep purple color, elegant and luxurious, perfect for making a cheongsam. She also prepared a silk scarf for Qian Shikun's daughter-in-law, in a light yellow color, and toys for Qian Shikun's grandson and granddaughter.
Wearing a gray Zhongshan suit, Huo Yingjie looked like a tall, straight poplar tree, full of spirit.
After He Tiantian finished getting ready, she saw Huo Yingjie waiting outside.
Seeing He Tiantian come out, Huo Yingjie reached out his arm and took her hand as they came out together.
"Mom, you're beautiful!" Huo Ruimin exclaimed with a grin. "Dad, you're beautiful too!"
Huo Ruihua merely glanced at his parents, showing no interest in the matter, and continued to struggle with the nine-linked rings in his hand.
“Ruimin is beautiful, and Ruihua is beautiful too,” He Tiantian said with a smile. “Okay, Mom and Dad, it’s time to go out. You’re fine staying at home.”
"Mom, I want to go too!" Huo Ruimin threw down what she was holding and rushed towards He Tiantian.
Huo Yingjie scooped up Huo Ruimin, who was rushing towards him like a little cannonball, and said with a smile, "Daddy and Mommy have something to do. Be good, Ruimin. When Daddy and Mommy come back later, we'll bring you something delicious."
Hearing this, Huo Ruimin pretended to think for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I want egg rolls and bear-shaped cookies, I want those."
In the blink of an eye, Huo Ruimin had already listed a string of food items.
"No, you have to eat properly," He Tiantian refused, saying that children shouldn't be spoiled.
"Wah!" Huo Ruimin burst into tears and clung to her father's arms.
"It's nothing for the child to want a little something," Huo Yingjie said with a smile. "Mom said you're asking for too much. You mentioned so many things, but Dad will only buy you two. Tell me yourself, what do you want?"
"Can't we have it all?" Huo Ruimin still wanted to struggle a bit more and try to get some more.
"No!" Huo Yingjie kissed his daughter's little face. "Tell me, which two? If you don't choose, your mother won't buy you either."
Huo Ruimin glanced at her mother's serious face and had no choice but to reluctantly say, "Okay, I'll have red bean cakes and bear biscuits."
"Good girl!" Huo Yingjie nodded, putting his daughter down. "Ruihua, what do you want?"
"Just like my sister." Huo Ruihua didn't look up and continued playing with the nine-linked rings in his hand.
"Silly little brother, what you want is different from mine. Don't we already have four portions?" Huo Ruimin scolded his younger brother like a little adult. His brother was too stupid; he didn't know how to make good use of such a good opportunity.
"Anyway, I don't really like eating it," Huo Ruihua whispered. No matter how much he ate, most of it would end up in his sister's stomach anyway.
Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian left, listening to their son and daughter's childish words, feeling rather speechless.
“Brother Yingjie, I always feel that our child is too smart.” He Tiantian said in confusion, “He doesn’t seem like a four-year-old at all. At least I’ve never seen a four-year-old who speaks so fluently.”
Huo Yingjie said smugly, raising his chin slightly, "It proves we have good genes! The child inherited our intelligence."
He Tiantian disagreed with Huo Yingjie's answer, saying, "I'm not smart, I'm just more hardworking than others. As for you, you're a genius, you must have inherited your intelligence."
"Hehe, with my intelligence and your diligence, our child will be successful in the future," Huo Yingjie laughed, he never doubted this.
He Tiantian smiled, suddenly thinking of something very embarrassing, yet also something that intrigued her.
"Brother Yingjie, Ruihua and Ruimin are already four years old. We haven't been using contraception, but why haven't I gotten pregnant again?" He Tiantian was very curious. They had already given birth, which proved that there was nothing wrong between her and Huo Yingjie.
If there's no problem, then there must be a problem if you're still not getting pregnant.
Huo Yingjie looked up at the sky speechlessly; he had thought about this too!
“It might be due to the bloodline in our bodies,” Huo Yingjie said. “Our consciousnesses are those of ancient immortals. Even immortals may not be able to give birth to a divine fetus for millions of years, so even if we are reincarnated, we will probably still be affected.”
“But I gave birth to Ruihua and Ruimin!” He Tiantian retorted. “If we followed what you said, we probably wouldn’t have any children by now.”
Huo Yingjie smiled wryly, remembering the little spirit snake.
However, he would never tell He Tiantian.
“Maybe we’re just lucky,” Huo Yingjie laughed. “If we have one, we’ll take it; if not, so be it. We already have a son and a daughter. My parents have worked so hard for so many years, and they only had one child, me. They won’t say we didn’t have enough children.”
"Hehe, don't talk to your elders like that." He Tiantian covered her mouth and laughed. If her parents-in-law were there, they would probably give Huo Yingjie a lecture.
"It's just the two of us!" Huo Yingjie chuckled. "Come on up, let's hurry."
When they reached the alley entrance, He Tiantian sat on the back of Huo Yingjie's bicycle, while Huo Yingjie sat on the seat with one foot on the ground. He waited for He Tiantian to get on before riding away.
It took about half an hour to get to Qian Shikun's house.
Sun Sihao was having tea and talking with Qian Shikun and Qian Zhigao.
The woman who opened the door was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. When she saw He Tiantian, she smiled slightly and said, "Is this He Tiantian, your father-in-law's boss?"
"Hehe, I wouldn't call myself a leader, I'm just a junior, He Tiantian." He Tiantian introduced herself, "This is my husband, Huo Yingjie."
"Hello, hello," the woman said with a smile. "My name is Xie Wanying. My hands are wet, so I won't shake your hands. Please come in."
"Hello, Sister Xie," He Tiantian said, entering with her husband.
Those inside the house came out together upon hearing He Tiantian's voice.
After another round of introductions and pleasantries, they went inside together.
He Tiantian presented gifts, especially for the two children. The girl, who was six, received a doll; the boy, who was four, received a toy car. Although it didn't have batteries, it had a wind-up mechanism, so once wound up, it could run around on the ground.
"Thank you, Aunt He, Uncle Huo." Qian Zhigao taught his child to be grateful and polite.
The child is very sensible and polite, clearly well-mannered, and lovable. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
