Chapter 276: Chapter 263: Good Sisters, Meeting (1800, 1820+) _3

"Okay, okay, there’s a place to stay at home, no need to worry," Third Grandma Qi said, "You all sit, I’ll go cook for you."

He Tiantian went to tidy up the room with Aunt Liu while Third Grandma Qi, a tiny-footed old lady, cooked in the dark. Huo Yingjie felt uncomfortable about it and wanted to help out.

Li Yunzhong ran over and said, "Grandma, let me help you!"

Throughout the journey, the real responsibility for protection was on Zhang Aijun, with Li Yunzhong mostly doing logistics.

"Okay," Third Grandma Qi didn’t refuse, added water, took some greens from the vegetable basket at home, poured some oil, and made a green vegetable lump soup, cracking three eggs into it.

Although there was only one guest room, it had two big beds, which were enough for everyone.

While tidying up the room, Aunt Liu asked with a beam, "Girl Tian, you brought three people, which one is your man?"

He Tiantian nodded and said, "The tallest one!"

"My oh my, that young man is so handsome!" Aunt Liu chuckled, "What about the other two?"

He Tiantian shook her head, "I don’t know, I haven’t seen them before."

"Oh, not bad, one look at that kid and you can tell he is a capable person, Girl Tian is destined for a life of happiness," Aunt Liu said with a laugh. Ever since He Tiantian worked with her, her family’s life had improved a lot.

He Tiantian smiled shyly, embarrassed, and lowered her head.

Over there, Third Grandma Qi and Li Yunzhong finished cooking, and the three men wolfed down their food, barely filling their bellies.

He Tiantian and Aunt Liu had also finished tidying up the room! Thanks to the previous drought, the room was very dry, with no insects or the like. However, it was summer here, and there were mosquitoes, the house didn’t have a mosquito net, so He Tiantian used some mugwort to fumigate the room.

He Tiantian went to boil hot water, but Huo Yingjie stopped her, saying, "Sweet Treasure, you don’t need to busy yourself, we use cold water in the summer, hot water is not necessary!"

Oh, what Huo Yingjie said was not false at all.

Being so close to He Tiantian, in the winter, Huo Yingjie couldn’t sleep at night and had to take cold showers, not to mention now that it was summer.

"Then, okay," He Tiantian complied, "Over there is the washroom, there’s water in the big tank!"

Heated by the sun, the water inside was warm.

"Yingjie, and you two young lads, make yourselves at home, no need to be polite," Third Grandma Qi said with a smile, "Tiantian, it’s getting late, you should head back to your room for rest, we can talk more tomorrow."

Upon hearing Third Grandma Qi’s words, He Tiantian’s face turned red. This was a hint that she shouldn’t talk to Huo Yingjie alone late at night.

"Oh!" He Tiantian replied, then turned and entered the house.

Third Grandma Qi reminded from outside, "The wind is strong tonight, make sure to latch the door!"

Although one of the three men was He Tiantian’s significant other, influenced heavily by traditional thoughts, Third Grandma Qi still didn’t approve of them meeting in private, especially at night.

A man and a woman alone, lovers who had not seen each other for a long time, it was easy for something to happen.

By doing this, Third Grandma Qi was truly treating He Tiantian as if she were her own granddaughter.

It was okay for a woman to have a loved one, but she must cherish herself even more.

"I got it, Grandma!" He Tiantian’s face was burning with embarrassment.

Huo Yingjie chuckled and went with a basin to wash up.

Li Yunzhong and Zhang Aijun occasionally snickered; the old lady was clearly guarding against Huo Yingjie!

After sitting on a train for a day and a night, and a half-day on a bullock cart, the three men were exhausted, they washed up, then went back to their room to rest.

Huo Yingjie alone occupied one small bed, while Zhang Aijun and Li Yunzhong shared the larger one.

The two soldiers had a night without dreams.

Huo Yingjie’s dreams were more vivid; the sky was blue, the grass was green, the water was clear, the birds’ songs were sweet, and what struck his heart even more was his beloved girl, He Tiantian, dancing and singing joyfully.

The next morning, Li Yunzhong, Zhang Aijun, and Huo Yingjie got up early.

They weren’t the type to sleep in. Besides, at Third Grandma Qi’s house, since Third Grandma Qi and He Tiantian were up, it would not be polite for them to stay in bed.

Zhang Aijun was an industrious guy, seeing the water tank was empty, he took up the shoulder pole to fetch water.

Li Yunzhong stuck by Third Grandma Qi, following her to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables.

Only He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie remained in the house.

"Brother Yingjie!" Words fell short, but everything was conveyed in this one address.

Huo Yingjie gently embraced He Tiantian, kissing her exquisite eyebrows, perky nose, pure white cheeks, and finally, her yearned-for rosy lips.

"Sweet Treasure, I missed you so much," Huo Yingjie whispered, "I couldn’t wait for New Year’s to see you. You know, after Zhou Yuanyuan sent that letter to you, I was worried about you, so I wanted to come and see you."

Upon hearing this, He Tiantian remembered — wasn’t there a love rival?
