He Tiantian was very touched when she saw the meal that Grandma Wang had prepared.
"Thank you, Grandma Wang," He Tiantian said. "Without you, Yingjie and I would have been destined to make some sacrifices because of the child. Now you are helping us take care of the child and looking after me. I am very touched."
"Alright, I don't consider you an outsider, so you shouldn't treat me like one either," Grandma Wang said. "Hurry up and eat. I've already given the child a bath; you can bring him inside to rest now."
"Okay!" He Tiantian said, turning to go to the kitchen.
Huo Zhekun has been working overtime, and his mother-in-law, Jiang Lifang, works the night shift.
After finishing her meal, He Tiantian went next door to keep her father-in-law's rice porridge warm in the rice cooker and also made him some hangover tea.
My mother-in-law works the night shift, so it's usually Grandma Wang or He Tiantian who does the cooking.
Manage your home with care and love.
He Tiantian has been very busy these past few days, so Grandma Wang has taken over the housework.
However, He Tiantian would buy some vegetables or braised meat from outside, so they could eat directly at home. All Grandma Wang needed to do was cook rice or prepare some seasonal vegetables.
For the sake of convenience, He Tiantian bought some high-quality handmade noodles and kept them at home.
In the morning, I cook some vegetable noodles, add a few pieces of braised meat, side dishes, and a poached egg, and a simple yet nutritious breakfast is ready.
At noon, He Tiantian doesn't come back for lunch, and neither do Huo Zhekun and Jiang Lifang. Only Grandma Wang is at home taking care of the two children for lunch.
After the start of the semester, students participated in military training. He Tiantian would go to the dormitory every noon to check on the students and ask if they had any difficulties. During the military training, He Tiantian would also go to check on them from time to time and pour them some medicated oil and Huoxiang Zhengqi Water.
Students experiencing dizziness or heatstroke can use this to alleviate their symptoms significantly.
It took a week for He Tiantian's life to stabilize.
When the weekend came, He Tiantian rested and didn't go anywhere, but had a good sleep.
Cui Ying, Hua Shan has already started preparing to open a shop. The shop has been rented and the renovation is mostly complete.
"Sweetie, look, is this a good way to decorate the shop?" Cui Ying brought over several design drawings, all of which she had made herself.
She learned painting from her father from a young age, and all her drawings are done with a brush, including her current design drawings.
He Tiantian was surprised and said, "Was this designed by Huashan?"
“No, I designed it,” Cui Ying said. “Look at the houses here, they are all old houses, and they are wooden structures, so they only need a little renovation. As for the interior, we also followed the original layout, but the furniture and display shelves are all modern furniture with a classical style. This not only makes the room bright, but also allows us to display a lot of things.”
“Okay, you can do whatever you want,” He Tiantian said. “You’re busy in the antique shop all day, why don’t you quit your own job?”
Cui Ying smiled and said nonchalantly, "I studied Chinese, and I only went there because I wanted to work with Huashan. Now that Huashan has resigned, I don't want to do it anymore either. Anyway, Huashan usually has to go out to collect things, and someone needs to watch the shop, so I thought I'd watch the shop instead of hiring anyone."
"You're willing to give up such a good, stable job?" He Tiantian became even more curious. Hua Shan quit his job without hesitation when he said he wanted to do business, and so did Cui Ying.
“What’s there to be reluctant about!” Cui Ying said. “Organizing those documents about cultural relics every day is quite boring. Opening a shop is good too; the time is relatively flexible, and I still have time to read.”
He Tiantian was a little puzzled and asked, "Logically speaking, shouldn't running a shop be even busier? I only have two braised meat shops, and I'm already extremely busy."
"Hehe, the antique business is not like your braised meat shop." Cui Ying chuckled mischievously. "There's a saying in the business: 'Three years without business, then three years of feasting.' That's how it's described. Although it's not as cold as that saying, it's definitely not a scene of customers flocking in."
“Oh, there is such a saying.” He Tiantian nodded. “Okay, doing what you like is better than anything else. Besides, Huashan is so powerful, you don’t need to work so hard to support the family.”
“That’s what I think too,” Cui Ying said with a smile. “I’ve always loved reading, and I’ll have plenty of time to read in the future.”
“Sure, I’m a teacher at our alma mater now. If you want to borrow books, you can use my library card,” He Tiantian said. After graduation, she spent much less time reading books and instead spent most of her time looking at account books.
She should also calm down and read some books in the future.
"That's wonderful," Cui Ying said with a smile. "Our alma mater is a century-old prestigious school with many classic books that you can't see outside. You have a teacher's library card, so it should be easy for you to borrow them."
Cui Ying hadn't expected this before, but now that she knew, she was overjoyed.
Just as He Tiantian and Cui Ying were talking, Wu Youliang ran over with a grief-stricken expression.
"Wu Youliang, what's wrong?" He Tiantian's heart skipped a beat. Although Wu Youliang liked to joke around, he was usually a fairly composed person. He wouldn't show such an expression unless something serious had happened!
Wu Youliang wiped the sweat from his brow and hurriedly said, "Jingli injured Lin Xiaoru and has already been arrested by the people sent out."
"Huh?" He Tiantian was taken aback. "They started fighting? Which police station took Jingli to? How badly is Lin Xiaoru injured?"
“After being taken to the Chengnan Police Station, Lin Xiaoru collapsed and couldn’t get up. We don’t know what happened, but she has been sent to the Municipal People’s Hospital,” Wu Youliang said. “I received a call from my mother and went to see Jingli, but she refused to see me.”
He Tiantian thought for a moment and said, "Cui Ying, you take Wu Youliang to find Qin Li. Her uncle seems to be a captain at the Chengnan Police Station. He should be able to get more detailed information. I'm going to the Municipal People's Hospital now to ask my mother-in-law how badly Lin Xiaoru was injured. Was it a real injury or a fake one?"
Cui Ying nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with Wu Youliang right now."
"Thank you so much," Wu Youliang said gratefully. Having friends help her when she was in trouble brought some warmth to her anxious and angry heart.
"Okay, let's split up and go our separate ways," He Tiantian said. After Wu Youliang and Cui Ying left, she told Grandma Wang what was going on, changed into a dress, and went to the hospital to find her mother-in-law.
He Tiantian rode her bicycle, lost in thought, and arrived at the hospital in less than twenty minutes.
At that moment, Jiang Lifang was seeing patients, and there was a long queue outside.
He Tiantian was in a hurry and didn't care about anything else, so she went straight into the consultation room.
Jiang Lifang was startled. When she saw that it was He Tiantian, she gave her a wink and told her to wait in the consultation room behind the curtain.
After seeing one patient, they paused and did not call in any more people.
"Sweetie, what happened at home?" Jiang Lifang asked. It was Sunday, and the weather was very hot, so her daughter-in-law usually stayed at home and wouldn't come out.
