"What happened? Why are you so happy?" Mrs. Huo asked as she changed her shoes.
Grandma Huo was beaming with joy. "Sisi has become the chief designer of the international hotel! She will stay in Beijing until the end of the year, and Suisui and Zhaozhao will also stay."
Mrs. Huo was caught off guard by this huge surprise. After she came to her senses, she immediately pulled Jiang Si's hand over.
"Sisi, did I hear that right? Your grandma said you're going to stay in Beijing?"
Jiang Si smiled and said, "Mom, it's true."
"This...this..." Mrs. Huo was so excited that she didn't know what to say.
Even Mr. Huo was unusually incoherent, saying, "It's good that we stay in Beijing, so that everyone can look after each other."
Because of this good news, Mrs. Huo had a smile on her face until she went to bed that night.
But as she laughed, she couldn't be happy anymore.
"Why--"
Mrs. Huo sighed softly, "Tell me, why did this year's New Year go by so fast? It feels like nothing happened, and the first month of the lunar calendar is almost over."
As his wife's husband, how could Mr. Huo not understand his wife's thoughts?
The New Year is over, which means the eldest couple will soon be taking the children back home.
Xinjiang and Xinjiang are far apart, and both the eldest son and his wife have jobs.
Who knows when we'll meet again?
Thinking about all this, Mr. Huo couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.
But it wasn't appropriate to talk about that now. As if remembering something, Mr. Huo asked, "How's the preparation of everything going?"
He was referring to the holiday gifts he brought to Lu's parents.
The fact that our son has been raised to be so upright and outstanding is all thanks to his adoptive parents.
The Huo family has always remembered this kindness.
Logically speaking, they should have personally visited Xinjiang Province to express their gratitude long ago.
Unfortunately, Huo's father now holds an important position and cannot leave the capital at will, especially to the frontier.
Ultimately, only Huo's mother could represent them.
Everything is ready.
Mother Huo said, "Besides what we prepared, my second, third, and fourth sons, as well as my fourth sister-in-law, also prepared a gift for me to take with me."
"Oh, right." She remembered something and added, "Sisi heard that they had difficulty walking, so she brought me two bottles of medicinal wine separately."
Previously, her legs would ache on rainy days, but after using this along with hot towels for a while, she hasn't had a flare-up for a long time.
Mr. Huo listened with a look of relief, "The children are thoughtful and know how to be grateful."
"Yes, we are indeed blessed."
Mrs. Huo remarked with emotion, "My sons are all so accomplished, and the wives they've married are all wonderful women."
Everyone says that harmony in the family brings prosperity, but in Huo's mother's opinion...
Only a good wife can bring prosperity to three generations.
With such sensible and intelligent daughters-in-law in the family, Mrs. Huo believed that the Huo family's future development would definitely be better with each generation.
Mr. Huo nodded, his tone full of certainty, "Of course!"
The couple chatted about this topic for quite a while.
Seeing that Mrs. Huo was in a much better mood, Mr. Huo quickly gave her a few words of advice.
"I know you'll miss the children, but please be careful when you go."
"Especially when you leave, never shed tears in front of them, otherwise the children will feel bad."
He repeated the same statement.
As long as the children are doing well and safe over there.
Nothing else matters.
"I know." Mrs. Huo understood the reasoning, but she was afraid she wouldn't be able to control herself.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
Meng Yuan had asked all the questions she wanted to ask, and holding Jiang Si's hand, she felt an indescribable gratitude.
"Sister-in-law, thank you so much for your help this time."
"Sister-in-law, we are family, you're being too formal."
Jiang Si said, "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on things for you. I'll call you as soon as I get any news."
During the month or so they spent together, Meng Yuan also learned what kind of person she was.
So they didn't stand on ceremony anymore.
After chatting for a few more minutes about the children, Meng Yuan got up and went back to her room as it was getting late.
Huo Tingzhou returned shortly after she left.
After putting the two little ones to sleep, he asked in a low voice, "What did your sister-in-law talk about when she came to see you earlier?"
Coincidentally, he asked this question at the same time.
Jiang Si also spoke up, "What did you two talk about when your older brother pulled you into the study earlier?"
After asking the question, both of them were stunned.
Then they exchanged a smile.
Huo Tingzhou said, "You go first."
Jiang Si applied her skincare products, looked at him in the mirror, her eyes sparkling, and asked, "Guess?"
Huo Tingzhou chuckled and shook his head; this was really hard to guess.
After all, the topics women discuss are incredibly varied.
Last time, my second sister-in-law pulled her daughter-in-law into the room, and they talked for two or three hours straight.
Later, seeing that it was getting late, he went to call her.
He turned back as soon as he reached the door.
He had only heard those words from his married comrades a few times when he lived in the dormitory.
Unexpectedly...
However, it was clear that they weren't talking about that topic this time, otherwise his wife would have covered his mouth immediately.
Then she scolded him, "Don't pry into women's affairs!"
"Is it good news?" Huo Tingzhou asked.
That must be true, otherwise my wife wouldn't have that expression.
"Okay, I'm just teasing you." Jiang Si smiled. "I feel like this should be good news."
Although it's not certain yet, she feels it should be soon.
As she spoke, Jiang Si told her about the information her sister-in-law had asked her to inquire about the courtyard house.
