During this trip to Nanshi, Huo Yingjie helped his father, He Tiantian let go of her resentment towards Qi Zhenghan, and the whole family reunited happily.
Therefore, this trip was very good.
With the start of the new school term approaching, He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie packed their things and left Nanshi to return to Yanjing.
Huo Zhekun and Jiang Lifang couldn't bear to part with their child; the bond between grandparents and grandchildren was on full display as they held the child tightly and wouldn't let go!
He Tiantian was packing her things, looking a little worried, and kept going downstairs to check on things.
Huo Yingjie chuckled and said, "Alright, don't worry, your parents won't leave the child behind."
"But I'm just scared!" He Tiantian whispered. "Although I also feel that my in-laws are in Nanshi and I feel lonely with my child, I don't want to be separated from him. Besides, it's not good for the child to be in a different environment."
“I’m here. I’ll bring the children back to you,” Huo Yingjie comforted him. “Besides, Mom and Dad both have their own jobs. They don’t have time to take care of the children. They’re just expressing their longing; they won’t actually leave the children behind.”
"Okay, I'll leave it to you." He Tiantian nodded. She had raised these three children herself, so she wanted to stay with them forever.
After finally packing his things, Huo Yingjie carried several large bags downstairs.
“Grandpa, Grandma, we’re waiting for you in Yanjing,” Huo Ruimin said. “I really enjoy listening to Grandma’s stories; they’re so beautiful.”
“You’re all good kids,” Jiang Lifang said with a smile. “Come on, let me see you onto the train.”
Huo Zhekun, who rarely has free time, went with Jiang Lifang to drop off their child.
Even after the train had left, Jiang Lifang and Huo Zhekun remained on the platform.
"Alright, it's time to go back," Huo Zhekun said softly, stepping forward to take his wife's hand.
"Mmm." Jiang Lifang turned around, and left hand in hand with her husband, shoulder to shoulder. "I already miss him terribly as soon as he left."
Huo Zhekun smiled and said, "I'd like to too, but I know they're doing well in Yanjing, so at least I'm not worried. If you want to go back, we can take a vacation."
"Let's talk about it during the National Day holiday," Jiang Lifang said. "I'm not going back now. This meeting should ease things for about two months."
As the sun sets, the couple cast long shadows on the ground.
The two smiled at each other. Since they decided to be together, they have supported each other all the way to the present, and their relationship is still so good. They have many children and grandchildren and their work is going well.
This is the kind of life they have been hoping for.
They have already received so much; they cannot be greedy any longer.
The train was a bit faster than before, and arrived at the station an hour earlier.
Huo Yingjie sent a telegram to Grandma Wang in advance, and Grandma Wang had already asked Niu Dajun to come and pick them up in a seven-seater van.
"Yingjie, Tiantian, I'm sure you had a great summer vacation," Niu Dajun asked with a smile as he drove.
"Yes, we first went to Qijia Village to attend Qi Daniu's wedding and soaked in hot springs. After that, we went to Nanshi. Overall, this summer vacation was very fulfilling," He Tiantian said with a smile. "By the way, has Sister Xiaoyan returned?"
“Your sister Xiaoyan came back a couple of days ago,” Niu Dajun said with a smile. “Her school is about to start, and yesterday she seemed to have received an assignment. CCTV is going to hold a gala at the end of the year, and they want Xiaoyan to do a program. She said she’s very busy and doesn’t really want to go.”
CCTV's year-end gala?
Oh my god?
Isn't this the first Chinese New Year Gala?
My goodness, Qi Xiaoyan is so lucky!
"Brother Dajun, is Sister Xiaoyan at home or at school?" He Tiantian asked hurriedly. Qi Xiaoyan just wanted to be famous, and now that she had a great opportunity to show her face, she didn't even cherish it.
If you miss it, you'll regret it for the rest of your life.
"She's still at home at this time. She usually goes to school at 8:30," Niu Dajun said in surprise. "What's wrong? Do you need to see Xiaoyan?"
“Of course there’s something important. Brother Dajun will come directly to your house,” He Tiantian said. “If we’re late, Xiaoyan will miss something big.”
Upon hearing this, Niu Dajun became somewhat nervous and hurriedly asked, "What's the big deal?"
“It’s some of the Spring Festival Gala programs prepared by CCTV,” He Tiantian said. “This channel covers the whole country and can even be received overseas. If Xiaoyan can participate in this program, with her voice, she can become an instant star.”
Niu Dajun was taken aback, then nodded and said, "Now that you mention it, this is indeed a good opportunity."
“Yes, Xiao Yan has always wanted to be famous but hasn’t been able to. Now that she has such an opportunity, wouldn’t it be a pity to let it go?” He Tiantian countered. Such a good opportunity, without spending a penny, just requiring effort.
Niu Dajun has always supported Qi Xiaoyan's work and hobbies, understands his wife's thoughts, and strongly agrees with He Tiantian's words.
So Niu Dajun drove straight back to his home.
Qi Xiaoyan was somewhat surprised to see He Tiantian arrive and asked, "Sister Tiantian, why did you bring adults and children to my house as soon as you came back? You always go to your own home first, don't you?"
"I heard you received an invitation to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala?" He Tiantian asked.
"Yes, it's a live broadcast, and there were several rounds of selection for the best man. I didn't want to go; I'm too busy with work this year," Qi Xiaoyan explained. "What's wrong? Did you come all this way specifically for this?"
"That's it." He Tiantian nodded. "Do you still want to be famous? Do you still want to become a famous singer?"
"Yes, I dream about it!" Qi Xiaoyan replied. "What does that have to do with those few galas?"
“Of course it’s related,” He Tiantian said. “This gala is being broadcast live on CCTV. Everyone with a TV at home will be watching it during the Spring Festival. How could you not be popular when you sing under the watchful eyes of so many people? How could you not become famous?”
"Oh?" Qi Xiaoyan was taken aback. "Oh, right, how come I didn't think of that! Several teachers from our school received invitations, but I saw that they weren't willing to go. They thought it would be too tiring, especially since it's a live broadcast, and they were afraid of embarrassing themselves. So none of them wanted to go. I was thinking that I was also quite busy and wasn't planning to go either. But after hearing what you said, Sister Tiantian, no matter how tired or busy I am, I'm going. I'll sign up right away when I get there today."
"Well, you make the decision yourself. I'm just here to remind you so you don't regret it later," He Tiantian said. With Qi Xiaoyan's voice and appearance, she was definitely a top choice for the party.
Qi Xiaoyan readily agreed, secretly relieved that she hadn't missed this great opportunity.
"Alright, I should go back now. Grandma Wang must be worried sick at home," He Tiantian said. "You can decide for yourself."
"Thank you, Sweetie, for always reminding me at the most crucial moments in my life, so I don't miss out." Qi Xiaoyan felt grateful; this sister was truly a guiding light for life!
