For such a big event as Father He's 70th birthday, the He family will definitely have a lively celebration.
However, it will be a very low-key celebration, without any big fuss. Given the current situation, it's not good to be extravagant. The family will just have a meal at home, without going to a restaurant. The family can simply enjoy themselves behind closed doors.
Sister-in-law He knew that He Tingchuan and the others were coming back because her daughter told her: "Grandma asked me to help clean the house, saying that Uncle's house is too small and they might not have enough room!"
“I think Grandma is biased. She seems to like that little rice cake more!” He Zizhen grew up with her mother and clearly felt neglected.
Sister-in-law He comforted her, saying, "Little Niangao is still young. This is her first time in the capital. She won't stay for long and will return to her post soon. You are the only one who grew up with your grandmother. You are the one she loves the most."
He Zizhen didn't believe it: "Grandma gave the gold skewer that I liked to Xiao Niangao. I clearly said I liked it too, but Grandma just wouldn't give it to me."
Sister-in-law He frowned, comforted her daughter with a few words, and didn't show her dissatisfaction, lest the child couldn't help but talk nonsense in front of the adults.
Sister-in-law He herself realized that this mother-in-law treated her youngest son and daughter-in-law differently.
Just in time, he'll be home soon. She'll see what tricks that country bumpkin uses to win people over.
Her shrewd mother-in-law was not easy to please.
Yun Jin was unaware that she had already been targeted by her sister-in-law before she even arrived in the capital.
After a two-day journey, they finally arrived in Beijing when they woke up.
Mrs. He arranged for a car to pick her up at the station, and thinking that since there was a car, she came too.
After waiting for a while at the exit, I saw He Tingchuan pushing a stroller, his eyes fixed on the person next to him, as if afraid of losing them. The family of three appeared before me, looking so fresh and lovely.
Yun Jin, with her sharp eyes, spotted an elderly woman with graying hair and an elegant demeanor near the exit and asked, "Is that Mom?"
He Tingchuan followed Yun Jin's gaze and saw that the little old lady in front of him was none other than his mother.
"It's her." He Tingchuan was flattered that the old lady would come to greet them in person.
The family of three walked quickly toward Mother He, and Yun Jin ran to greet her from afar: "Mom!"
"Oh! It's Yun Jin, isn't it? You must be tired from your journey!" Mother He's eyes lit up. She was satisfied with the photo, but now that she saw the real person, she realized that her daughter-in-law was not photogenic at all.
The real person is even more lively and beautiful, with bright eyes and fair skin. She doesn't look like she came from the countryside at all. She seems like a girl raised in a beautiful and virtuous family in the south, with a pure and gentle temperament, quiet and graceful.
It's a pity that she's paired with her rough, cold-faced son.
He Tingchuan: "......."
He Tingchuan didn't even want to talk about the old lady's disdainful look.
Little Niangao was asleep when she got off the bus, but she was woken up and was about to cry. Yun Jin held her and greeted He Mama: "Niangao, look! Who is this? Isn't this your favorite grandma?"
Little Niangao, still half asleep, glanced at Mother He before leaning back on Yun Jin's shoulder to continue sleeping.
With her adorable appearance, Mother He couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh my, my little Nian Gao is so cute! This child is really good-looking. I never thought that boy could have such a lovely daughter. You've worked so hard!"
Yun Jin felt embarrassed by what was said: "I'm not happy. My husband works so hard; he's basically the one who takes care of everything. Little Niangao also loves her dad!"
Mother He glanced at He Tingchuan sideways, never expecting that her cold and serious son would also dote on his daughter. She really hadn't seen that coming.
With a car to pick him up, He Tingchuan put his luggage away. The stroller was foldable, and He's mother exclaimed how convenient it was. When she asked, she said it was bought in Shanghai: "No wonder I didn't see it in Beijing. It seems that things from Shanghai are better."
“We all loved what Mom sent. The women in the compound all envied me for having such a good mother-in-law. They even asked if my husband had any brothers, and they all wanted to be my sisters-in-law!”
Mrs. He laughed heartily, amused: "Having one child is enough, I wouldn't dare have any more."
Yun Jin smiled and said, "That's because I'm convinced. Mom gave birth to Dad very well, and she's very happy to have married him!"
He Tingchuan blushed, glanced at the person who had suddenly confessed, and felt a little embarrassed.
Mother He blushed at Yun Jin's words, thinking to herself that even though she knew it was flattery, she couldn't help but like her daughter-in-law's flattery. Even though she knew it was praise, she didn't feel disgusted at all.
He Tingchuan's home was a bit far from the station. It took about forty minutes to drive to the military compound. After their identities were verified, they were allowed to enter the compound. The gatekeepers here are very strict.
Upon arriving at the entrance of the He family's villa, Yun Jin, who knew it was a villa from the novel, couldn't help but exclaim, "So beautiful!" upon seeing the actual villa.
"From now on, this is your home. Welcome home." Mrs. He smiled and patted Yun Jin on the shoulder.
Yun Jin smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Mom!"
The house looks beautiful and grand from the outside, and the interior is even more clean and tidy. You can tell from the furniture arrangement that it has great taste, and you can see the homeowner's aesthetic sense. Mrs. He has very good taste.
When Yun Jin appeared carrying her daughter, Mr. He smiled and nodded. He and his elder brother and sister-in-law were home today. It happened to be Saturday, and they had come over after get off work last night.
The smiling, tiger-like Sister-in-law He greeted them warmly: "You must be tired from your journey. You must be Yun Jin. I'm your sister-in-law, and this is Zi Zhen. Quickly call her Auntie!"
He Zizhen glanced at the little rice cake that Yun Jin was holding. The little guy was asleep, and it wasn't good to wake him up right now.
He Zizhen called out softly, "Auntie."
