He Tiantian shook her head and said, "My grandparents won't agree, and my in-laws will be disappointed too..."
"And what about you?" Huo Yingjie asked. "Why don't you think about yourself and the child? If I go to work there, you and the child can go with me, but it's a closed environment, very boring, and not good for the child's development."
“Oh, right!” He Tiantian said with a bitter face, “If it were just me, I could go with you, but the child is here, and I want the child to live in a normal environment. Although I’ve never been to your place, I know it’s very isolated. Even though there are schools and hospitals, it’s still not an open environment.”
He Tiantian was in a dilemma, unsure of what to do.
"Hehe, now you realize it's a difficult situation?" Huo Yingjie asked softly. "I've been thinking about this problem."
"Then what are you going to do?" He Tiantian smiled wryly. "Do you really have to go to some remote mountain village?"
"Not necessarily!" Huo Yingjie said. "Military research is highly confidential, so I can transfer it to civilian use."
"Really?" He Tiantian's eyes lit up, sparkling with joy. If that were the case, Huo Yingjie could work in Nanshi and balance both work and family.
He Tiantian is selfish; she only wants to live with her beloved person and child.
“Sure,” Huo Yingjie said. “I just need to move around a bit.”
"That's great." He Tiantian finally felt relieved.
University now lasts three years, not four years as it will in the future.
I'm a sophomore now, and I'll start my internship in the second semester of my junior year.
However, it is estimated that Huo Yingjie will start working in his junior year of college.
As for her, she can just continue to drift along.
He Tiantian herself doesn't have any grand ambitions; the idea of saving the world or all of humanity is long gone.
“Alright, let’s try together,” He Tiantian said. “However, I don’t want to be an obstacle to your progress. If you want to go to the weapons research institute, then go.”
"I don't want to go anymore. I've already done what I should have done in my past life. In this life, I want to live for myself and for my family," Huo Yingjie said. His tireless work resulted in a weak body and a lonely life.
"Mmm." He Tiantian hugged Huo Yingjie tightly from behind, rubbing her face against his chest.
The couple enjoyed a rare moment of peace, free from worldly concerns, simply cherishing each other's company and feeling warm and content.
With no worries on her mind, He Tiantian slept very well.
The next day, He Tiantian packed some braised meat for Huo Yingjie, sent some to Professor Wang and Professor Gu, and invited several familiar classmates to her home for dinner.
Even though we have a refrigerator at home, if we cook food that we can't finish, it will affect the taste.
Jiang Lifang also brought some to the hospital to share with her colleagues.
Grandma Wang is old and doesn't eat much, so in the end, it's the two big eaters, He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie, who get to enjoy the food.
He Tiantian sat on the back of Huo Yingjie's bicycle, able to look at the surrounding scenery, and she noticed some changes.
"Brother Yingjie, have you noticed any street vendors?" He Tiantian asked. There were almost none last year, a few in the first half of this year, but now there are several on one street, all openly operating.
There were traditional craft shops such as barbershops and tailor shops, as well as some small businesses.
“Yes, if possible, we’ll open the shop after the New Year,” Huo Yingjie said. “But we don’t have a suitable person yet, so let’s wait a bit longer.”
"Okay!" He Tiantian nodded. The shop she wanted to open would require hiring staff, which would be costly.
The economy is still relatively liberalized and under a strict planned economy. People don't have much spare money. Even if you open a shop and the meat is delicious, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll make money.
She's only in charge of the seasonings, so it's essential to find someone trustworthy.
However, there was no suitable person in Nanshi.
That evening, Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian arrived with a few more people.
Wu Youliang and Huang Jingli are currently in a passionate relationship and are expected to get married by the end of the year. They heard that Huo Yingjie's family made something delicious and insisted on coming over.
As for Cui Ying, she brought Hua Shan along as well.
I ran into Qin Li and Yuan Chengcai on my way to school.
"Class monitor, Cui Ying, what are you doing?" Qin Li asked enthusiastically. After her cousin's matter was put behind her, she had been looking for an opportunity to improve her relationship with He Tiantian.
Fortunately, He Tiantian was usually very friendly, which gave Qin Li the courage to step forward and ask.
Huang Jingli was taken aback and glanced at He Tiantian.
Wang Bing and Qin Li are cousins, and Huang Jingli also knows something about Wang Bing's past harassment of Huo Yingjie.
Huang Jingli was unsure whether He Tiantian would allow Qin Li to have dinner at her house.
He Tiantian smiled, not rejecting Qin Li, and said, "The class monitor can only eat in the cafeteria on weekdays, so I'll invite them to my house for dinner."
"Oh, that's great!" Qin Li said. "He Tiantian, can Yuan Cheng and I go?"
He Tiantian was taken aback. She hadn't invited him, but he had taken the initiative to ask. It seemed inappropriate to refuse, so she nodded and said, "Okay, let's go together. It'll be more fun with more people."
After Wang Bing's misfortune, Yuan Chengcai was terrified and relieved that he had turned back before it was too late.
He Tiantian is beautiful, but compared to her future and life, her future and life are more important.
If he had remained obstinate before, he would probably be the one ending up in jail and facing execution.
"Thank you," Qin Li said with a smile, pulling Yuan Cheng along with her.
When Qin Li passed by the supply and marketing cooperative, she went in and bought two bags of candy and two bags of biscuits.
Cui Ying, from Huashan, bought some dates.
Wu Youliang and Huang Jingli presented them with homemade salted chicken, which they had brought from their hometown and originally intended to give to He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie.
As soon as they got home, several people went to play with the child.
He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie went to make dinner.
I cooked a pot of rice and made several vegetarian dishes, some cold and some stir-fried. As for the meat dish, it was the braised pork I made yesterday.
Because it was previously stored in the refrigerator, it's a bit cold, so you have to put it in a steamer and steam it.
The aroma wafted outside while the braised meat was being heated.
Huang Jingli, who is cheerful and quite familiar with He Tiantian, hurriedly ran to the kitchen and asked, "Tiantian, what are you making in the pot? It smells so good!"
"Hehe, smells good, right?" He Tiantian said proudly. "This is my secret recipe. I'll let you try it later. I guarantee you won't forget it after you eat it."
Huang Jingli gave a wry smile, sniffed, and inhaled the fragrance in the air. She said, "Oh, just for this smell, I can't forget it now. It smells so good. Can you tell me how to make it? I want to make it too."
He Tiantian smiled and said, "This is a secret recipe. I might even want to start a business and open a shop in the future, so I can't tell you."
"Oh, I know," Huang Jingli said. If it were a common recipe, she wouldn't mind learning it, but since it was a secret recipe, she felt embarrassed to ask for more.
