Seeing this, He Tiantian had no choice but to nod. At worst, she could just give it to her younger brother when he grew up.
"Then I'll accept it," He Tiantian said. "When you're abroad, you must write to me often!"
“That’s for sure,” Wang Shuping said. “You are our daughter, and we will never forget to write to you, no matter what. You and Yingjie don’t need to worry about making a living; your grandmother will send you money. I will also send you all sorts of useful things. Live a good life and don’t overthink things.”
Wang Shuping's words were not unfounded. He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie were about to take the college entrance examination. If they went to university, Huo Yingjie's stipend and salary would only be enough for the family of four to live on, and they would not be wealthy.
But how could they bear to let He Tiantian and the children live such a materially impoverished life when they clearly have so much money at home?
“Sure, I won’t refuse.” He Tiantian smiled. She and Huo Yingjie were adults and didn’t care, but she didn’t want to make the two children feel uncomfortable.
“Yes, that’s how it should be.” He Jingyu smiled and looked at his daughter with affection. “From now on, your mother and I won’t be by your side. You must take good care of yourself and the children. If Huo Yingjie or the Huo family bullies you, don’t hold back. You still have your family.”
He Tiantian's nose tingled, and her eyes couldn't help but well up with tears. She nodded and said, "I remember, Mom and Dad, you can leave now."
While little He Doudou was fast asleep, the three of them were sharing their innermost thoughts with each other.
The next morning, He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie personally saw their parents, Bai Qiongyu, Qi Shuliang, and Huo Yingjun off on the special train bound for Yanjing.
Even after the train disappeared from sight, He Tiantian was still unwilling to leave the platform!
"Sweetie, let's go home." Huo Yingjie gently took He Tiantian's hand. "We'll get through whatever comes our way together. Don't be afraid, I'm here for you!"
He Tiantian clung to Huo Yingjie's arm, silently sobbing.
Her family left!
Fortunately, she now has her own little family and a husband who loves her.
The two walked home together, both feeling a bit down the whole way.
As soon as she entered the house, she heard Ruimin and Ruihua, the siblings, crying louder and louder than each other, as if they were having a competition. He Tiantian's worries vanished, and she felt extremely sorry for them!
Why are the babies crying so miserably?
Are you hungry?
Upon entering, I saw Jiang Lifang changing the baby's diaper!
Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian quickly stepped forward to help, coaxing the two children.
After changing into clean clothes and feeling the familiar presence, the two children's crying gradually subsided.
What should I do if my child is so young?
He Tiantian is worried!
"The children are so young and already recognize people? Isn't that too early?" Jiang Lifang couldn't believe it when she saw that her grandchildren had stopped crying.
"No, that's not it. The child just happened to wet the bed and was crying so loudly because he was uncomfortable," He Tiantian explained, not wanting others to know that her child was different from other children.
Even if it's your mother-in-law, it won't work!
Huo Yingjie knew what He Tiantian was thinking, and chimed in, "Mom, the child is too young to understand these things. By the way, Tiantian and I have moved next door to avoid them making noise at night and disturbing your rest."
"Actually, the house is quite spacious. Why don't you come and live with us?" Jiang Lifang was reluctant to part with her grandson and granddaughter and hoped they could come and stay with her.
Huo Yingjie also didn't want to live with his parents. He could barely tolerate it when it was just the two of them, but now that they had two children, he didn't want them to squeeze into his small room.
He Tiantian's room is bigger than his!
"Then it's up to you!" Jiang Lifang said. Anyway, it's next door, so if she misses her grandchildren, she can come and visit.
He Tiantian didn't want to live with her parents-in-law in order to reduce conflicts and also to avoid letting them get too involved in her child's education.
Grandparents often dote on their grandchildren, especially if the grandparents are in charge of taking care of the children!
Now that we have a yard, we can see each other every day, and that's enough.
Huo Yingjie moved his single bed directly into He Tiantian's room and placed it next to her bed to use as a crib for the baby.
Huo Yingjie also thoughtfully installed a wooden railing around the bed so that the child wouldn't fall off even when he could roll over later.
The couple did their best to raise and care for their two children.
June weather is like a child's face, changing in an instant!
Dark clouds gathered, and lightning flashed and thunder roared!
Soon after, a torrential downpour began.
He Tiantian reached out her hand, letting the raindrops fall on it, reluctant to pull it back.
Seeing this, Huo Yingjie pulled He Tiantian back and said, "Even if it's summer, you can't do this! What if you catch a cold?"
He Tiantian was reluctant to leave. She turned to look at the rain outside and said, "I don't know why, but I especially like water when it rains! Is there something wrong with me?"
Huo Yingjie frowned. "Does he like water?"
Why would I like water for no reason?
Huo Yingjie gently pressed on He Tiantian's wrist a few times, but found nothing wrong. He laughed and said, "It's nothing. I guess you were frightened by the severe drought in Taoyuan County that year."
He Tiantian nodded, half believing and half doubting, and said, "Perhaps!"
It's strange, this feeling has been there since last year, but it's not strong.
If Huo Yingjie hadn't been holding her back, she really would have wanted to run out into the rain today.
This isn't because they were scared by the drought.
Although He Tiantian didn't know the reason, she knew something was wrong.
Even Huo Yingjie didn't know the reason, and He Tiantian couldn't find the reason either. Not wanting Huo Yingjie to worry, she could only say what Huo Yingjie said.
There were still many questions in my mind, but when I heard my child crying, none of them mattered anymore.
This is the difference between having children and not having children.
For women with children, their children always come first, and even their husbands, like Huo Yingjie, come second.
No, it should be the third.
Because she has two children, a daughter and a son!
Huo Yingjie was also a little surprised by He Tiantian's unusual behavior. He secretly made a note of it and continued to pay attention, wanting to figure out what was going on!
It was still pouring rain in the morning, but the rain stopped in the afternoon, the sun came out, and a long, beautiful rainbow appeared in the sky!
Part of the courtyard was paved with bluestone slabs. Huo Yingjie swept the water off the slabs and then took the child out to cool off.
The room was stuffy and hot; even adults couldn't stand it, let alone children.
He Tiantian was cooking in the kitchen, while Huo Yingjie was taking care of the children.
Seeing that the two children's faces were flushed from the heat, Huo Yingjie called out Little Turtle.
"Master, what are your orders?" the little tortoise asked. By following its master's side, its cultivation had become twice as effective, and it had already acquired more supernatural powers.
The owner said that it cannot come out unless he summons it.
"Stay close to Ruihua and Ruimin, don't go far," Huo Yingjie said. "The children are crying because they're hot!"
"Yes, Master!" The little tortoise lay under the crib, adjusting the temperature.
