The person He Ying really wanted to trouble was He Jianhua's wife, her cousin's wife.
Someone in her cousin's family works in the Personnel Bureau, and she wants to use her cousin's family's connections to see if there is any way to transfer back to the city from Changxing Island for work.
But before she could put her plan into practice, her brother saw through it.
When she came back, her father strictly forbade anyone to help her. Her brother listened to their father so much that he must have told his cousin not to let his cousin's wife help her. She didn't know if there would be another chance in the future.
He Ying sighed and got into the car depressed.
He Tingjun drove back to the staff housing complex of Hucheng University. When he passed the state-owned restaurant on the corner of the street, he stopped the car and got out to buy breakfast.
He Ying huddled in her car seat, unwilling to move, and ordered Zou Yuan to buy her some shengjian pot stickers. However, the state-owned restaurant didn't have pot stickers, only shengjian buns, so Zou Yuan bought some instead.
He Ying was a little unhappy, but she didn't say anything at the moment. Seeing Zou Yuanyi looking at her cautiously, she comforted him twice: "Forget it, the Shengjianbao is just the same."
He Tingjun bought two bowls of wontons and put them in a thermos. He also bought scallion pancakes, tea eggs, and sweet tofu pudding for He Yan.
The car drove all the way into the family compound and stopped outside the family building.
They got home at the perfect time. As soon as they entered the door, they saw two old people sitting at the dining table eating, and their nanny, Sister Song, was standing beside them helping to peel eggs.
He Ying grew up in the southwest and never spent much time with her grandparents, so the relationship between them was not very close.
In addition, the two old people were both educators, and they had a lot of opinions about He Ying's bad habits. Every time they met, they always wanted to say a few more things to her so that she could correct them.
In He Ying's opinion, it was because the old men disliked her and hated her, which was why she was always criticized in various ways every time she came. She tried to avoid them, but how could she hide it from the two experienced old men? Disappointed, the old men didn't bother to try to explain her temper.
After all, they are already sixty years old, and the earth is buried up to their necks. Their children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, so they can do whatever they want.
If one party hides away and the other party lets it go without forcing it, over time, the relationship between the two parties will inevitably become more distant.
He Ying stopped walking when she reached the door, and called out to the old man in a strange voice, "Hello, Grandpa and Grandma."
Grandma He is very deaf and can't hear what others are saying in a low voice.
She didn't hear He Ying talking, so she ignored him. Grandpa He just said with a smile, "Yingying is back."
He Ying nodded, took two steps forward, and revealed Zou Yuan behind her.
Zou Yuan also shouted: "Grandpa, Grandma."
Grandpa He nodded slightly and asked with a smile, "I heard from your brother that you retired early and returned to the military. After you start working, will you stay in Shanghai and not return to the southwest?"
Zou Yuan nodded, "Yes, Grandpa, I won't go back. I will stay in Shanghai from now on."
He Ying couldn't help but complain a bit. "Changxing Island is so far from the city. You have to take a car and a boat, and it takes several hours to get there and back. It takes longer than going to Suzhou. How can it be considered staying in Shanghai? Only being able to work in the city can be considered staying in Shanghai."
"Then you just work hard! As long as you have outstanding work ability and excellent performance, you will be transferred back to the city sooner or later." Grandpa He still smiled when he heard this, and there was no change in his expression.
"Well, we will definitely work hard and strive to be transferred to the city as soon as possible." Zou Yuan forced a smile and agreed with Grandpa He's words. He Ying could tell that there was no intention of helping her in her grandfather's words, so she lowered her eyes in disappointment, pursed her lips and said nothing.
"Grandma and Grandma, you haven't met Chenchen yet, right? Come here, Chenchen, and let your great-grandma and great-grandpa see you." Zou Yuan didn't want the atmosphere to become dull, so he tried to make conversation. After saying that, he tugged at Zou Chen's arm, reminding him, "Chenchen, come on, call your great-grandma and great-grandpa."
Zou Chen was shy, and the more Zou Yuan pulled him, the more he hid behind He Ying and refused to come out.
He hugged He Ying's legs tightly, lowered his head, not looking at anyone, and said nothing.
Zou Yuan was a little anxious and tugged at Zou Chen's arm again: "Chenchen, why are you standing there? Call someone."
Zou Chen pouted and wanted to cry. Grandpa He saw this and quickly waved his hand: "Forget it, forget it. The child is shy. If you don't want to scream, then don't scream. Don't force the child."
Zou Yuan's face looked unhappy. He forced a smile and changed the subject.
He Tingjun didn't join in their conversation. He went to the second bedroom first, knocked on the door, and asked through the door, "Wife, are you up?"
"I woke up." Yun Qiao quickly opened the door and explained, "Yan Yan hasn't woken up yet, so I didn't come out."
He Tingjun nodded and said, "Yanyan needs to sleep until at least eight o'clock. Come out for dinner first. I bought your favorite wontons."
Yun Qiao agreed and placed chairs around the bed to prevent He Yan from rolling around in bed and accidentally falling off. Once she was sure everything was safe, she left the second bedroom. She didn't close the door, but left it ajar so she could hear He Yan's movements and react quickly.
Walking into the kitchen, He Tingjun was pouring the breakfast he bought into a bowl and a plate. Yun Qiao leaned over and asked, "What did you buy?"
"Wontons, pan-fried buns, and a bowl of sweet tofu pudding for Yanyan." He Tingjun said, "Do you want to eat it? If you want, eat this bowl first. After dinner, I'll go out and buy another bowl for Yanyan. I should still have time."
Yun Qiao shook his head: "I don't like sweet tofu pudding."
"Then keep it for Yanyan."
He Tingjun put the sweet tofu pudding he had reserved for He Yan aside, and the couple brought the rest of the dishes to the table one by one.
"Let's all sit down and eat." He Tingjun interrupted the somewhat tense atmosphere in the restaurant.
"Thank you, brother."
Zou Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and sat down with He Ying one after another. At this time, Zou Chen started to make a fuss about eating egg custard.
He Ying said angrily, "You don't eat it in the morning or in the evening, but you insist on waiting until dinner time to ask for egg custard. Where can I get it for you?"
"No, no, I just want to eat egg custard!" Zou Chen suddenly fell from He Ying's arms to the ground, rolling around on the ground.
"Get up, or I'll beat you up." Zou Yuan pulled Zou Chen's arm with a dark face.
Zou Chen was lying on the ground throwing a tantrum and rolling around. Zou Yuan was not paying attention for a moment and was kicked in the calf by him.
"You little bastard, you're rebelling." Zou Yuan pretended to slap Zou Chen on the butt.
Zou Yuan was actually just trying to scare Zou Chen. He had almost no strength left in his hands, so after he slapped him, Zou Chen's crying suddenly became even louder.
He Ying was so annoyed by his noise that she just wanted him to shut up. She turned to He Tingjun and said, "Brother, I remember you bought a bowl of sweet tofu pudding this morning? Tofu pudding tastes similar to egg custard. Yanyan hasn't woken up yet, so why not give this bowl of sweet tofu pudding to Chenchen first? His crying is so annoying, cover his mouth and stop him from crying."
