The annual holiday has started, and everyone was surprised to see He Tingchuan still at the military base: "Why is he still in the family compound at this time of year? He usually goes back to Beijing as soon as the holiday starts."
Some people are curious: "Aren't you going back to Beijing for the Spring Festival this year?"
"Shouldn't we call to ask about the rice cake?"
When asked by them, He Tingchuan proudly replied, "No rush, my wife bought me a plane ticket so I can fly back."
Everyone: "......"
Taking a plane?
How much would that cost?
They used to think train tickets were too expensive, but now they're all envious when they hear that He Tingchuan is flying back home.
Everyone praised Yun Jin for loving her husband and said that He Tingchuan was lucky to have married such a good wife.
They had long forgotten how dissatisfied Yun Jin was with her rural background when she first transmigrated, and how much He Tingchuan felt that she had suffered a great loss by marrying him.
Now it seems they're in real trouble.
Ever since Sister-in-law Gao and her family returned from Beijing, everyone knows how large Yun Jin's businesses are in Beijing.
There's also a car, which I heard cost over 200,000 yuan.
More than 200,000!
It's not two thousand, nor twenty thousand.
A while ago, Gao Min came back and said that Yun Jin took her to the train station, bought her a sleeper ticket so that she wouldn't have to sit for too long, and also gave her some clothes.
The clothes Gao Min brought back were a delight to everyone in the family compound; they looked beautiful no matter how you looked at them, and felt warm no matter how you touched them.
Unfortunately, the clothing stores here don't have those down jackets and windbreakers, which are more suitable for the cold weather in Beijing.
Gao Min also said that she often hangs out with He Zizhen, or Yun Jin's sister-in-law treats her to fried chicken and says that she can work part-time at a fried chicken shop next year to earn money.
Paying by the hour, based on the number of hours worked, Gao Min decided to give it a try next year.
Sister-in-law Gao had no objections.
Now everyone knows what kind of life Yun Jin is living in the capital.
Then they saw He Tingchuan boarding the plane and became envious.
People in the compound learned from Gao Min that Li Aimei was doing well. She had a son, her mother-in-law was helping to take care of the child in Beijing, and her husband treated her well. She seemed happy and content.
When the sisters-in-law heard that Li Aimei had given birth to a son, they all congratulated her.
When Li's mother found out, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she had a falling out with her daughter, it was still her daughter's child. It was fortunate that she was able to have a son as her first child, which would help her gain a foothold in her husband's family later on. Luckily, she didn't follow the example of that woman, Yun Jin, who had a daughter.
Under the current policy, if they have one rice cake, they can have another one.
Unfortunately, even though Nian Gao is several years old, there's still no sign of her getting pregnant.
Later, everyone found out that He Tingchuan had undergone tubal ligation, and the couple did not plan to have a second child, just one baby.
On New Year's Eve, people with televisions watched TV at home. Everyone was watching the little girl dancing on TV. Those who knew Xiao Nian Gao recognized her at a glance, and they were filled with envy and jealousy.
Look how outstanding that daughter is! She's on TV again this year, and the whole country can see her.
How glorious that would be!
Yun Jin and the others watched their daughter on TV with pride and joy. They never expected that their daughter would appear on TV and dance so well. No one would say that Xiao Niangao was inferior to their son anymore.
Those who met Yun Jin and her husband, as well as He's parents, all praised them for their ability to raise children.
They spend the Chinese New Year together as a family.
He Zizhen went to spend the Chinese New Year with her parents. Her mother asked Zizhen to go, after all, she was their daughter. She usually stayed here, and the New Year was a time for her to connect with her parents.
He Zizhen went out happily, but called back crying, asking Yun Jin to pick her up, saying that her mother had hit her.
Yun Jin and He Tingchuan took Xiao Niangao to pick up He Zizhen. Seeing the slap mark on her face, they asked, "What happened?"
"It's all because of my older brother and sister-in-law's situation." He Zizhen said aggrievedly, "I didn't instigate them to commit crimes, so how can you blame me? You even called me an ungrateful wretch for not helping to take care of my nephew."
He Zizhen said, "Auntie doesn't know, Da Bao and Xiao Bao are spoiled by my mother, they are not well-behaved at all."
Yun Jin offered a few words of comfort and told them to get in the car and go home. Yun Jin wouldn't interfere in Brother He's affairs; that was their life.
As for Da Bao and Xiao Bao, they are not their own children, so how they are raised is up to Brother He and his wife.
Yun Jin took He Zizhen back. He's mother felt sorry for her eldest granddaughter and was furious when she heard her complaining about He's older brother and sister-in-law: "If they are not properly taught, Da Bao and Xiao Bao will probably end up like He Ziqian."
Looking at Mrs. He, who was anxious and upset, Mr. He said, "Forget it, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. If they, as grandparents, don't know how to teach, there's no use in us worrying. We should just live our own lives well."
Mrs. He didn't know what to say, and sighed several times during the night, unable to sleep at all.
Mr. He comforted her, saying, "Just take good care of Xiao Niangao and Zizhen. Don't have any hope for the eldest. We're too old to manage that much. Just eat well, drink well, live a good life, and spend more time with Niangao and the others for a few more years."
Mother He thought about it and agreed. She shouldn't worry so much. If she left early, she wouldn't be able to see Xiao Niangao when she grew up.
Mother He must live a good life.
The program after the New Year was the same as before: eating, drinking, playing, and ice skating. This time, Yun Jin arranged an extra program: the whole family went to the port city for a trip, since He Tingchuan happened to have a few days off.
Yun Jin obtained a travel permit in advance and flew directly from Beijing.
He Tingchuan was questioned for quite a while before being allowed to leave the country.
Mr. and Mrs. He are old and don't like to go out, and given the tight schedule, they didn't go out to play.
He Zizhen couldn't leave because her documents hadn't been processed.
