Chapter 529: Chapter 500 You’re the Best, Only I Know_1

Seeing this, Jiang Lifang said, "Xiao Guo, the number of coupons each household gets is fixed, and if you give them to me, it means your wife and kids will have to go without. Besides, we aren’t lacking at home. You’d better take them back quickly."

Secretary Guo, seeing that the elder sister-in-law was getting upset, had no choice but to take them, saying, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

"If anyone should be thankful, it should be me thanking you, otherwise, we would have had to eat out," Jiang Lifang said, feeling a bit relieved to see Secretary Guo take the money and the Grain Coupon.

She didn’t like taking advantage of others, and it’s not like her family didn’t have any.

"It’s the least I could do," Secretary Guo said, "Sister-in-law, I have some errands to run, so I’ll take my leave now and visit you another day."

"Off you go, off you go, with Old Huo away these days, you’ve had it rough too," Jiang Lifang was very amiable, watching Secretary Guo grow up and feeling quite proud.

The relations between the two families were good. Even Secretary Guo’s wife was arranged by Jiang Lifang, who was a doctor at their hospital.

Now that only family was left at home, they were much more relaxed around each other.

Huo Yingjie was tired, and He Tiantian took him to the room to lull him to sleep.

Then He Jingyu and Huo Zhekun had a few drinks, feeling a bit groggy, and He Tiantian helped her father home.

Taking the train home was a bit tiring. After tidying up the house, He Tiantian went back to her room to rest.

When He Tiantian woke up, it was already four in the afternoon.

Huo Yingjie was in her yard, sitting on a stone bench, staring at the persimmon tree above.

When He Tiantian came out, he didn’t pay any attention to her, just turned his head and kept staring at the green persimmons on the tree.

He Tiantian knew that Huo Yingjie was being childish again. As long as he woke up and didn’t find her, he would act like this. She was used to it and knew he’d come around soon enough once she coaxed him a bit.

He Tiantian took out a big apple, a fruit knife, and a plate from the house, set them on the stone table, and sat down to peel the apple.

Huo Yingjie saw that He Tiantian was ignoring him and kept stealing glances at her.

He Tiantian pretended not to notice. She finished peeling the apple, sliced it into small pieces, and popped them into her mouth one after another, deliberately not offering any to Huo Yingjie.

"You don’t love me anymore," Huo Yingjie said with a wistful tone. In the past, Tiantian always fed him first before eating herself.

"Ha ha!" He Tiantian chuckled, finding Huo Yingjie so sulky and precious. "You ignored me, why should I give you any?"

Seeing He Tiantian enjoying the apple, Huo Yingjie blinked and said, "Okay, my fault. I’m paying attention to you now. Can you give me some to eat?"

"Sure!" He Tiantian pushed the plate towards Huo Yingjie. "There are chopsticks on the side. You can pick up the pieces with those or go wash your hands in the kitchen and eat with your hands."

Huo Yingjie pondered, then picked up the chopsticks to eat. After all, he knew how to use them, and if he went to wash his hands, Tiantian might eat all the good pieces.

After eating the apple, Huo Yingjie saw that He Tiantian wasn’t talking and asked, "Tiantian, don’t be mad anymore, okay?"

"I’m not mad," He Tiantian replied, simply recalling the past situations between them and finding the tables turned now.

In the past, it was always she who made mistakes and Huo Yingjie who would scold her. Since he was three years older than her and knew more, he hadn’t spared her his lectures since they were young.

"Then why aren’t you smiling at me?" Huo Yingjie complained, sounding like a little aggrieved wife.

He Tiantian was a bit speechless. She wasn’t a sunflower, and Huo Yingjie certainly wasn’t the sun. Why would she need to smile at Huo Yingjie all the time?

But Huo Yingjie’s pleading look was too endearing, and He Tiantian smiled and said, "You’re my favorite, rest assured!"

"I also like Tiantian the most," Yingjie whispered, "no one else can compare to you."

"Really?" He Tiantian’s eyes shone brightly, her face wearing a smile.

"Yes, really," Yingjie said earnestly.

Tiantian was very satisfied and whispered into Yingjie’s ear, "What you said makes me very happy, but you shouldn’t say that to anyone else, just me. Understand?"

"Why not? I like you the most, and I want everyone to know," Yingjie said, confused, for that’s exactly what he was thinking.

Tiantian chuckled sheepishly, coming up with a lame excuse, "Actually, it’s quite simple! Think about it! If you like me the most, it proves I’m the best, right?"

"Mm-hmm, Tiantian is the best, most beautiful," Yingjie agreed vigorously, nodding again and again.

Upon hearing this, Tiantian felt very pleased; no matter the time, she was always the most beautiful in Brother Yingjie’s heart.

"You see, I’m so good, so beautiful, if you tell everyone. Then, not only will you know I’m the best and the most beautiful, but others will too, and they’ll snatch me away," Tiantian said, wondering if this flimsy reason would work.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Yingjie grasped Tiantian’s hand tightly, looked around vigilantly, and seeing no one, he whispered, "Tiantian, you’re so clever, I almost made a huge mistake. Your goodness, your beauty, it’s enough if only I know, I definitely won’t tell anyone else."

Tiantian was over the moon, charmed by Yingjie’s sweet words, "Right, just like that."

After she spoke, she planted a kiss on Yingjie’s face.

Now Yingjie still seemed a bit like a child, but his logic was clear, which was something to be happy about.

Yingjie was very familiar with this activity, and he enjoyed it too, turning around to plant a kiss on Tiantian.

"Cough cough cough!" He Jingyu had sobered up, came out of the house, and saw his daughter and Yingjie exchanging kisses, acting as if he didn’t exist!

Seeing her dad, Tiantian’s face blushed, "Dad, I’ll make you some tea."

Tiantian ducked into the kitchen, while Yingjie stood up to offer Jingyu a seat.

Tiantian said that was her dad, an elder, and she should show respect.

"Uncle He, would you like to play chess?" Yingjie asked Jingyu, facing each other especially since Jingyu’s expression wasn’t looking too good, Yingjie felt very anxious inside.

Talking about the exact wrong thing!

They were so mismatched in skill, wouldn’t it be self-torture?

If they were to play chess, it should be with his dad, Huo Zhekun, an even worse player than him.

Your son tortures me, so I’ll torture you.

Jingyu sought balance in his mind.

Tiantian poured the tea, placed the cups on the stone table, and poured three cups for them to enjoy together.

"Dad, should you tell Uncle Huo about what we saw in Qijia Village?" Tiantian asked. The people of Qijia Village believed it because many had witnessed it with their own eyes, but Huo Zhekun and Jiang Lifang hadn’t seen it, and they were atheists, they simply wouldn’t believe it!

Jingyu sighed, "If Yingjie can recover his health here, then that’s fine. If not, we can try Qijia Village, who knows, treating a dead horse as if it were a living one might work!"

Tiantian thought for a moment, then nodded, "Mmm, Dad, you’re right."

That was where the Snake King cultivated, and Little Rotating Turtle had said before that the back hill of Qijia Village was very auspicious, so surely it could be beneficial for Yingjie’s condition.
