The group entered the house.
Although Jiang Lifang had visited the courtyard before during the Spring Festival, it was uninhabited and lifeless at that time. Now that people live here and there, the main courtyard has become vibrant.
Grandma Wang secretly admired the house, thinking it was much better than the Huo family's old residence.
They also understood why Jiang Lifang and He Tiantian didn't want to live in the old house. They had their own big house, why should they squeeze in with everyone else and live uncomfortable, especially Song Chunli, who was unreasonable and always gave them attitude.
Qi Xiaoyan took the luggage inside and said, "Sister Tiantian, there's hot water in the washroom over there. Go wash up there and come eat quickly."
"Okay!" He Tiantian smiled, without thanking Qi Xiaoyan, because she felt that she and Qi Xiaoyan had reached a point where they didn't need to be polite.
I will remember all your kindness.
"Mom, you and Grandma Wang take a bath first, I'll go get you your clothes," He Tiantian said, running hot water, stripping the children naked, and throwing them into the basin.
Jiang Lifang, Grandma Wang, please help the child wash first.
He Tiantian brought some clothes, changed the child into them, then took the child outside to air out their hair in the sun. Then she found clothes for her mother-in-law and Grandma Wang.
After they had all finished washing up, He Tiantian took her clothes inside.
Huo Yingjie felt especially sweet watching He Tiantian busy herself.
He Tiantian changed into a white dress and sandals, her wet hair wrapped in a large towel.
Huo Yingjie came over and helped dry her hair until it was half dry. He then tied it up with a rubber band and went inside to eat.
Jiang Lifang and Grandma Wang are already sitting at the dinner table with their children.
Qi Xiaoyan and Niu Dajun also sat down with their children, waiting for He Tiantian.
"Sister Tian, hurry up, we're hungry." Qi Xiaoyan said with a smile, "The food today is absolutely delicious, we really want to eat more."
"Oh?" He Tiantian asked curiously, "You and Brother Dajun, Huashan's cooking skills are just so-so, is there someone else?"
Just then, a person came in carrying a huge bowl and said, "Excuse me, excuse me..."
He Tiantian turned around and stepped aside, and saw an acquaintance.
"Li Yunzhong?" He Tiantian asked in surprise, "Didn't you return to your hometown after your demobilization?"
Li Yunzhong smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you must be tired from your journey. Let's eat first, and we can talk about my business later, okay?"
“Okay, of course,” He Tiantian said. “You should sit down too and eat with us.”
"You guys eat first, I still have two dishes to finish," Li Yunzhong said, wiping his hands as he left.
Li Yunzhong clearly didn't want to say it in front of everyone, so He Tiantian naturally wouldn't ask any more questions, and no one else would say anything either.
Xie Wu and Zhang Ning were standing guard outside. They invited them in for a meal, but they wouldn't come in.
He Tiantian took advantage of the fact that everyone hadn't eaten yet and gave them a portion of each dish.
When Li Yunzhong brought over the vegetables, he smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I've already set aside some of everything for them, so you don't need to take any more."
"Oh, then I won't dial," He Tiantian said with a smile. "You hurry up too."
"Okay, coming right away. You guys eat first, don't wait for me," Li Yunzhong said, putting down the boiled beef in his hand and going to get the braised duck.
Everyone has already started eating. The food on the train isn't very good, but the aroma of this delicious food is irresistible.
Li Yunzhong brought over the braised duck and sat down as well.
Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "We're all family, don't be shy, everyone eat." He then served He Tiantian a lot of food, and also served Grandma Wang and Jiang Lifang.
The food was delicious.
"Yunzhong's cooking is really good," Jiang Lifang said with a smile. In the past, Li Yunzhong followed Huo Yingjie and often came to Nanshi. He would help cook, and Jiang Lifang often ate his cooking.
"Hehe!" Li Yunzhong chuckled憨厚ly, "Actually, my cooking is not as good as our Captain Zhang's. Apart from our local specialties, I learned everything else from our Captain Zhang."
“That’s great too,” He Tiantian said. “I really enjoy your cooking.”
"Thank you, sister-in-law," Li Yunzhong said. "Come on, Aunt Jiang, Grandma Wang, eat more. If there's anything you don't like, or if there's anything you'd like to eat, just let me know, and I'll try my best to improve it."
“It’s already very good, we can eat it.” Jiang Lifang said, “It’s just that you’ve had to work hard.”
"It's no trouble at all. Brother Huo has been kind to me, so it's what I should do," Li Yunzhong said. "Eat, eat more."
After the meal, Li Yunzhong smiled and said, "Aunt Jiang, Sister Xiaoyan has already tidied up Grandma Wang's room for you. Brother Huo, please take your wife and the children to your room to rest. I'll take care of things here."
He Tiantian smiled and said, "Mom, Grandma Wang, you should go and rest first. It's too hot in the car, and neither of you slept well."
"Alright, we're heading over now. Thank you for your hard work, young people," said Grandma Wang. With these younger folks around, it wouldn't be her turn to do housework as an old woman.
After the elders left, Qi Xiaoyan pulled the children, including He Tiantian, into the house, turned on the large air conditioner, and then took some toys from the side for the children to play with.
"Niu Da, Niu Er, you two play with your younger siblings. Mommy and Aunt Tian Tian are chatting," Qi Xiaoyan said impatiently, tossing the children aside.
"There's still so much stuff outside, I'll go tidy it up." He Tiantian felt a little guilty; she couldn't let others do housework while she stayed indoors to cool off!
Qi Xiaoyan said with a grin, "Alright, there are so many grown men outside, let them do it, let's have a chat."
"Okay," He Tiantian said with a smile. "Although I receive your letters regularly, it's never as atmospheric as chatting in person. So, tell me, what good news has happened recently?"
Qi Xiaoyan chuckled and said, "Sister Tian, a few days ago someone from a record company approached me, saying they wanted to sign me and release music tapes for me. I was very interested, but I didn't dare to agree. I just said I'd think about it for a few days. Now that you're here, can you give me some advice?"
"What company is it?" He Tiantian asked. "Is it legitimate?"
Qi Xiaoyan looked bewildered and said, "They just gave me a business card and asked me to prepare 10,000 yuan, saying it was start-up capital."
When He Tiantian heard this, she thought, "If someone takes the initiative to release a cassette tape, shouldn't the singer be paid? Why should the singer have to pay out of their own pocket?"
"Let me see your business card," He Tiantian said. "Check it out before making a decision. Besides, I heard from Sister Xie that music companies pay singers, not the other way around."
"Huh?" Qi Xiaoyan was taken aback. She took out a business card from her bag and asked in confusion, "He said it was for the initial investment. Once the tapes are sold, he will give me the initial investment and the general profit."
He Tiantian took it over to look at it; it was a fairly formal business card.
“If you don’t believe me, wait until Li Yunzhong has some free time and have him investigate for you. Then you’ll give up,” He Tiantian said, knowing it was most likely a lie.
"Sigh!" Qi Xiaoyan sighed, "Sister Tian, is this really a scammer?"
"You'll know after the investigation," He Tiantian said. "Don't rush, take your time. When the opportunity arises, I'll definitely release a cassette tape for you."
