Chapter 507: Chapter 478: This little ingrate!_1

Huo Zhekun had initially thought his wife was mistaken, but after she finished speaking, their son’s fingers twitched.

"Son, wake up quickly. If you wake up, I’ll organize a wedding for you and Tiantian," Huo Zhekun said, and then he watched his son’s hand with wide, silent eyes.

This time, his son’s hand moved again.

"Old Huo, is it true? Can our son hear us talking?" Jiang Lifang asked excitedly, immediately pressing the button beside their son’s bed.

Huo Zhekun was also very emotional, nodding as he said, "I see it, I see it..."

The couple was beside themselves with excitement, feeling that their son was about to wake up.

Before long, Zhao Huanhuan came over.

"Uncle, Auntie, what’s wrong with Yingjie?" Zhao Huanhuan thought Huo Yingjie’s condition had deteriorated and felt apprehensive.

Huo Yingjie still hadn’t woken up, and Zhao Huanhuan was no longer as confident as before.

"Yingjie’s hand can move now!" Jiang Lifang hurriedly said. "Look, Yingjie, Tiantian is upset with you for not visiting her for such a long time. She’s angry."

Just then, Huo Yingjie’s fingers twitched!

Zhao Huanhuan was dumbfounded, but then quickly thought that a reaction was a good sign and said urgently, "Uncle, Auntie, wait here, I’ll go call the doctor over."

"You’ve worked hard, Huanhuan." Huo Zhekun was in good spirits. As long as his son could wake up, everything else would be manageable.

Zhao Huanhuan rushed off to find Doctor Zhang.

Jiang Lifang beamed with joy and scolded, "This ungrateful child, I was crying so much and he didn’t react at all, but as soon as we mentioned Tiantian, he responded! Just you wait, once he’s married, he’ll definitely be one of those who forgets his mother for his wife."

"Hehe, as long as Yingjie can wake up, nothing else matters," Huo Zhekun laughed and said, "You shouldn’t be jealous over this. Besides, mentioning Tiantian, as long as Yingjie can wake up, why should you care about the rest! Oh right, such a serious thing has happened to Yingjie, we’ve been overwhelmed with grief and haven’t informed Tiantian yet!"

"That’s right!" Jiang Lifang said, "If I had known Tiantian would have such an effect, I would have sent her a telegram earlier."

As they were speaking, Doctor Zhang arrived with a group of people.

When Jiang Lifang mentioned He Tiantian again, sure enough, Huo Yingjie’s fingers twitched.

Doctor Zhang was overjoyed and immediately said, "Hurry up and call this Tiantian over. The lad is clearly a passionate young man; he must really like this girl. Perhaps if the girl talks more with the patient, he could wake up."

Doctor Zhang felt helpless as well, Huo Zhekun’s body was like that of a normal person, even better than a normal person’s, and he truly didn’t know what was going on.

Perhaps external stimulation was a good breakthrough.

"The doctor is right. We’ll send the telegram right away," Huo Zhekun said, asking his wife to watch their son while he stepped out to send the telegram.

Jiang Lifang was happy while also complaining that her son had forgotten his mother for his wife.

However, Jiang Lifang really was wronging Huo Yingjie.

Actually, Huo Yingjie was in a state of spiritual collapse, as the thing was too formidable. After it exploded, it dispersed the unstable Divine Sense that had accumulated on his body.

The reason why Huo Yingjie could respond to He Tiantian’s voice was all thanks to the guidance of Little Rotating Turtle from within the barrier.

Because Little Rotating Turtle knew that only He Tiantian and Snake King could help collect the master’s scattered soul and awaken him.

Meanwhile, He Tiantian received a telegram stating, "Yingjie injured, come to Yanjing quickly!"

He Jingyu was shocked!

"Old He, what exactly happened to that child Yingjie?" Wang Shuping asked worriedly. On one hand, Huo Yingjie was her daughter’s fiancé, and on the other, she had watched him grow up and was very fond of him.

"The telegram was very brief, only saying he was injured, and did not elaborate on the situation," He Jingyu replied, "I presume they want Tiantian to make the trip."

"How can Tiantian go alone?" Wang Shuping said, "Why don’t you escort Tiantian there and see for yourself how Yingjie is doing?"

He Tiantian was packing her luggage when she heard her parents’ conversation and said, "Dad, Mom is pregnant now, I should go to Yanjing by myself."

"That’s not proper," Wang Shuping insisted, "Old He, you go and take a look, and I’ll pack your luggage for you. The autumn harvest isn’t here yet, and there are people in the Peach Orchard, so there’s no need to worry."

After some thought, He Jingyu said, "Alright then, you pack my luggage, and I’ll talk to Secretary Qi."

"Mom, I’ll worry even more if you and grandma are home without me!" He Tiantian said anxiously, knowing that if Huo Yingjie were injured seriously enough to warrant a telegram, the situation must be grave.

She did not want to be anxious about Huo Yingjie while also worrying about her family back home.

"No, we won’t be mistreated in the village," Wang Shuping declared, "But you, a young lady traveling so far, shouldn’t be without accompaniment. Moreover, given Yingjie’s injuries, it is only right and proper for your dad to visit."

"But what about you..." He Tiantian started to protest.

He Jingyu smiled and interjected, "No need to argue anymore. You get along well with Qi Daniu. Later, go and ask her to come and stay at our place for a few days to help look after your mom and grandma, wouldn’t that solve the problem?"

"Yes, that’ll do, the days are fine actually," Wang Shuping added, "I may need to get up at night, but there’s nothing else of concern."

"Good, I’ll go now," He Tiantian said as she finished packing her luggage. She brought a lot of clothes, all in light and simple colors, packed into a large bag.

He Jingyu brought a large basket of peaches from home as a gift.

He Tiantian went to find Qi Daniu, who immediately agreed to help and said she would come over after dinner.

He Jingyu explained the situation to Secretary Qi, and Village Chief Qi provided him with a letter of introduction.

"Big Brother Qi, I trust you with the affairs of our home," He Jingyu requested, knowing that while Qi Daniu could handle everyday tasks, some of the more significant matters would require Secretary Qi’s assistance.

Village Chief Qi chuckled and reassured him, "Your son-in-law is blessed and will be fine. As for your household, worry not. You’ve asked Qi Daniu to care for your wife, and I’ll have my sister-in-law Hongyu look after granny at night. Don’t concern yourself with home."

"As for the Peach Orchard, I’ve already taught everyone how to harvest, so just keep a watch on it," He Jingyu instructed, uncertain about when he would return and thus preferring to clarify things beforehand.

"Sure thing, these past two years, I’ve been learning a lot while working alongside you. Just go with a peaceful mind; I’ll keep an eye on the Peach Orchard!" Village Chief Qi expressed, feeling grateful for He Jingyu’s constant concern for the welfare of Qijia Village.

He Jingyu had brought immense benefits to Qijia Village, taking many of the village’s youths under his wing to learn trades, a deed deeply valued by Village Chief Qi and remembered at heart.
