Chapter 617: Chapter 586: Worrying, Special Train_1

Huo Yingjie began his life as a milk dad.

Of course, he didn’t forget to send a telegram to the family in Yanjing and Nan City.

Jiang Lifang could hardly wait to sprout wings and fly over upon hearing that He Tiantian had given birth to twins of mixed sex.

"Old Huo, the exam is in just a month and a half, and the kids are so young, what should we do?" Jiang Lifang said, especially since they had already transferred He Tiantian’s residency from Taoyuan County to Nan City; she must take the college entrance examination in Nan City.

And now, with two children, even if she gets accepted, how is the daughter-in-law going to attend school?

Upon hearing this, Huo Zhekun thought carefully and said, "Both of Old He’s couple are highly educated intellectuals. If Tiantian gets into university, they will definitely let Tiantian attend. After all, the He Family has a scholarly tradition, and they won’t allow Tiantian to remain a junior high school student forever."

"Yes, that’s why it’s so difficult!" Jiang Lifang said, "How about I retire early to stay at home and take care of the children?"

Huo Zhekun saw that his wife wanted to retire before reaching fifty, which was too early.

"Don’t rush it, let’s not talk about this and see what the young couple thinks before making plans," Huo Zhekun said, "You are still young, a key figure in the hospital, it would be a pity to retire now. Moreover, you love your job so much, you can’t just give it up lightly. As for the grandchildren, you needn’t worry. If we really can’t find anyone to take care of the children, we can ask someone we know to help look after them."

After listening, Jiang Lifang felt that her husband had considered things more comprehensively and said, "You are right, we should respect Yingjie and Tiantian’s decisions. We don’t have any vacation now and can’t go there. I’ll quickly pack up some things to send to Tiantian and the children."

Huo Zhekun stopped her and said, "Just send more money and tickets for the children, don’t send other things. Tiantian and Yingjie will probably bring the children to Nan City soon. At that time, they will still have to carry everything back, so why bother?"

"Old Huo, you always think things through, I had forgotten," Jiang Lifang praised, "But isn’t it bad for them to take the train when the kids are so young?"

Huo Zhekun frowned, also worried, and said, "But they can’t just leave the children in Qijia Village when they come back for the exams. After all, the children are so little and haven’t even been weaned yet!"

Jiang Lifang smiled bitterly and said, "That’s right, it’s really worrying! What if we use the official car to pick them up?"

Huo Zhekun smiled bitterly and said, "That old jeep of mine is even less comfortable than taking a train!"

"That’s true," Jiang Lifang said, "Just sitting a while makes you uncomfortable, let alone such a long journey."

"Don’t rush!" Huo Zhekun said, "I’ll write a letter to ask them what they plan to do."

"Alright, let’s ask them first," Jiang Lifang agreed.

The same problem was also being considered by Old Master Huo and Old Madam Huo.

In an era not yet rife with privilege, the two elderly people were also at a loss, the only thing they could do was to send more money and tickets to Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian, along with some nice things.

When Huo Yingjie received the letters from his parents and grandparents, he also considered this issue.

It was early summer and not too hot. Once she got through the postpartum period, taking the train wouldn’t be a problem, but with such young children, what should they do?

Seeing He Tiantian frown with worry, Huo Yingjie put his arm around her shoulder and said softly, "You don’t have to worry, I’m here and everything will be fine."

"What if I don’t take the exams and just wait until next year?" He Tiantian suggested. She had studied so long that even if she didn’t take the exams this year, she could still do it next year; there was no need to make the kids suffer for the sake of an exam.

Huo Yingjie was taken aback but then smiled and said, "You have been preparing for such a long time, and you especially want to continue your studies. Plus, your father-in-law and mother-in-law also have this in mind. If you don’t take the exams, they would probably be unhappy."

"Unhappy or not, there’s no choice. The children are so young, I don’t want them to suffer. By this time next year, they will be older and it will be no problem for them to take the train," He Tiantian said. Ever since she had the children, she thought about everything with the children in mind, even putting Huo Yingjie second.

Huo Yingjie smiled wryly to himself. Actually, he wanted to say, not to mention taking a train, even flying in an airplane, or traveling by sword flight, with him as the father, it wouldn’t be a problem.

However, he didn’t want to boast too much of his abilities in front of He Tiantian, and she also conveniently overlooked Huo Yingjie’s exceptional capabilities.

"Alright, let’s think of another way," Huo Yingjie could only say softly. He too felt for the children, but he did not want to sacrifice He Tiantian’s dreams and desired life for the sake of the children.

His woman should do whatever she wants!

To live life recklessly, without fear!

Or rather, to enjoy life following one’s own desires!

However, while everyone was immersed in joy and also had some minor troubles, Qi Shuliang and Bai Qiongyu took a direct train to Taoyuan County.

He Tiantian was thrilled in her heart. How wonderful!

Once she was through with the postpartum period, she could take the special train back to Nan City with the children.

The children were now over twenty days old, no longer the red, wrinkled skin they had when first born, but had become lovable with fair skin, big eyes, long eyelashes, and chubby pink cheeks.

Bai Qiongyu couldn’t bear to let go of the two children and kept holding them.

"Grandmother, the children may be small, but you have had a long journey and shouldn’t hold them any longer," He Tiantian said, not wanting to tire out her grandmother, who was now almost seventy years old.

Although she had always been healthy, age was age.

Bai Qiongyu put down the sister and went to hold the brother, smiling, "I’m in good health, holding them for a bit is fine, don’t worry unnecessarily."

Seeing that her grandmother said so, He Tiantian did not insist anymore and changed the subject, "Grandmother, did you come specially to see me and the children?"

Bai Qiongyu smiled and replied, "Yes, I came especially to see you. But I also attended a meeting in Yanjing, so that’s why there was a special train to take."

"No wonder," He Tiantian laughed, "That solves a big problem for me, Yingjie and I were worrying about how to get back to Nan City!"

"Haha, you are so stubborn. If you had gone with me to Country M, there wouldn’t be such troubles," Bai Qiongyu said. "But this is the path you chose, I support you in everything, hoping you will be happy and have your own life."

"Thank you, grandmother," He Tiantian said gratefully. Her parents had delayed their departure to another country for her sake, leaving her grandmother alone abroad, which was truly unfilial.

"No need to thank me, you are my granddaughter, we are family," Bai Qiongyu said, "Seeing you so happy now, I can also be at ease. I know you are not interested in the Bai Family business, so I can only take Dou Dou with me and properly cultivate him. Taking him will make your parents follow me abroad, and in the future, when you are alone in the country, you will have to rely on yourself for everything."
