Zhou Yuanchao was somewhat amused and exasperated upon hearing this.
"Chief Engineer Sun, you're a scientific and technological worker, why do you believe in feudal superstition?" Zhou Yuanchao asked, puzzled. They were staunch materialists and would never believe in such feudal dross.
Chief Engineer Sun shook his head and said, "I am an atheist, but there are some things that science cannot explain, so we must still have a sense of awe in order to have the spirit of continuous exploration and progress. You are a young man, and it is not good for you to speak so recklessly."
Aunt Li pinched Zhou Yuanchao's ear and said angrily, "You, remember this well, don't be so arrogant all the time."
At this moment, He Tiantian came out of the kitchen.
Aunt Li and Chief Engineer Sun were both taken aback when they saw He Tiantian.
Aunt Li turned directly to Zhou Yuanchao and said, "If you're looking for such a beautiful wife, Yingjie is right, you're destined to be a bachelor."
"Haha!" Huo Yingjie laughed. "Sweetie, this is my supervisor and elder at the research institute, Chief Engineer Sun, and Aunt Li."
Upon seeing the two highly respected elderly people, He Tiantian bowed and greeted them, saying, "Hello, Chief Engineer Sun and Aunt Li!"
"Good, good!" Aunt Li stepped forward and took He Tiantian's chubby little hand. "She looks like a lucky girl. She and Yingjie are a perfect match, a match made in heaven."
Chief Engineer Sun smiled and said, "This isn't a workplace, so don't call me Chief Engineer Sun. Just call me Uncle Sun."
"Uncle Sun," He Tiantian called out, "Brother Yingjie, you greet Uncle Sun, Aunt Li, and Zhou Yuanchao. I'll go make two more dishes, and we can eat in a little while."
"Okay!" Huo Yingjie laughed, leading them to the stone table under the tree to cool off.
He Tiantian went to the kitchen, found the tea leaves and teapot, and brewed and poured tea for everyone.
"This is wild mountain tea, it tastes good. Uncle Sun, Aunt Li, please try some," He Tiantian said with a smile, pouring tea for everyone.
A delicate fragrance of tea wafted out with the rising steam.
"It smells delicious!" said Chief Engineer Sun. "I must savor it properly!"
At this moment, Zhou Yuanchao walked to the crib and saw two sleeping babies, one covered with a red blanket and the other with a blue one.
The chubby little baby is so cute.
Aunt Li watched with great amazement and exclaimed, "Oh my, they really are twins, they look so alike!"
“Yes, they’re so cute, all white and chubby,” Zhou Yuanchao said. “Aunt Li, when we get back, you can introduce me to someone else. I won’t be picky anymore. I’m worried that by the time my eldest child is all over the place, I still won’t be married.”
"Hehe, don't be in such a hurry. Finding a partner also depends on fate." He Tiantian brought out two dishes from the kitchen and, upon hearing Zhou Yuanchao's words, kindly advised, "The reason it didn't work out is because the time wasn't right."
"Sweetie is right. When fate brings you together, nothing can stop it," Chief Engineer Sun said. "Don't rush things, take it slow. It's better to stay single than to rush into finding someone unsuitable!"
Zhou Yuanchao was at a loss for words, not knowing who to listen to!
“Alright, if you don’t like the research institute, I’ll have my mom introduce you to a doctor at the hospital,” Huo Yingjie said. “The couples my mom has introduced are all living happily together now; she would never play matchmaker.”
Zhou Yuanchao was excited and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Then tonight, I must ask Aunt Jiang to keep a close eye on things."
“You’re my brother, I have a wife and kids, a warm bed, how could I let you be all alone and miserable!” Huo Yingjie said loyally. “You only become stable after you get married! You’re single now, so you don’t understand!”
“Although Yuanchao is more mature than before, he’s still a bit impulsive. He really should settle down and start a family,” Chief Engineer Sun said. “Yingjie, how did your college entrance exam go? Do you really have to go to university? Actually, with your abilities, you don’t need to go to university at all!”
Chief Engineer Sun implied that he felt Huo Yingjie was wasting his time going to university.
Huo Yingjie glanced at his sleeping son and daughter, smiled, and said, "Life is short, I want to spend time with my family. Besides, I also want to broaden my thinking through learning!"
Chief Engineer Sun wanted to say something more, but Aunt Li stopped him.
“Old Sun, I won’t stop you from doing whatever you want, but you can’t expect everyone to be like you, disregarding everything for their career,” Aunt Li said. “Yingjie suffered so much, it’s already a miracle that he survived and recovered. The country has lost an outstanding worker like Yingjie, but there are still thousands of outstanding scientific and technological personnel. But if his wife and children lose Yingjie, it would be like the sky has fallen for them.”
Chief Engineer Sun felt extremely guilty upon hearing this.
"Oh, I'm so sorry you had to go through this," Chief Engineer Sun said apologetically. "I promised you'd have a good life, but..."
“Alright, now that we’ve decided to be together, I won’t look down on you. Everyone has different choices. Besides, Yingjie isn’t going to be unemployed forever. He just wants to learn more and think more, which is much better than doing repetitive and outdated experiments in the lab,” Aunt Li said, not wanting her husband to interfere too much with his subordinates.
Huo Yingjie's child is now young, and He Tiantian also took the college entrance examination this year.
That girl looks bright and intelligent; she'll probably get into university. If Huo Yingjie goes to work at the Nanshi Weapons Research Institute, He Tiantian will be in school, and with such a young child, it's impossible to leave the family alone.
Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "Chief Engineer Sun, don't worry! I'm not going to school to avoid work. Just as Aunt Li said, it's to broaden my horizons and get a better job in the future."
“Alright, then I’ll be waiting for your return,” Chief Engineer Sun said. “There will always be a place for you at the Nanshi Research Institute.”
"Thank you, Chief Engineer Sun," Huo Yingjie said. He was still receiving a stipend and salary from the Nanshi Weapons Research Institute, which greatly helped his life. This was one of the reasons why Huo Yingjie was so grateful to Chief Engineer Sun.
He Tiantian prepared the meal and placed it on the stone table.
He Tiantian took a bottle of peach blossom wine and a bottle of baijiu and said, "Yingjie, Yuanchao, you two keep Uncle Sun and Aunt Li company while they eat and drink. I'll go take care of the kids first."
The child was awake, and after whimpering, started to wail.
He Tiantian quickly grabbed the diapers she had prepared beforehand, and carried Ruimin to the bathroom. Fortunately, she had only peed. After washing her bottom and changing her into a dry diaper, the little girl felt comfortable and stopped crying.
He Tiantian put Ruimin back in the crib and moved a small red wooden fish on it to give Ruimin some eye exercise.
Ruihua also woke up. Seeing his flushed face, He Tiantian guessed that he probably needed to poop, so she quickly took the child to the bathroom.
That's exactly right. Luckily, I had some warm water from the sun. I wiped her clean with a diaper, then washed her bottom and changed her into a dry diaper. Since having a child, I have to deal with poop and pee every day!
