Chapter 674: Chapter 643 Arguing_1

By the time He Tiantian got up and came out, Aunt Liu was doing the household chores.

Seeing He Tiantian, Aunt Liu squinted her eyes suggestively and laughed, "Must be tired, huh? I left your meal in the pot, come and serve it quickly and eat."

The heat that had barely faded from He Tiantian’s face flushed red once again because of Aunt Liu’s look, and without paying attention to the kids calling her, she hid in the kitchen.

Third Grandma Qi chuckled and said, "You’re such a tease, you’re an old lady with thick skin. Our Tiantian is still a young bride, with a thin skin."

"Ha, ha!" Aunt Liu laughed, "Anyway, she’ll eventually reach the same stage as us. Besides, Tiantian is a city girl with thin skin. Look at those young wives in our village, after having kids they become bolder one after another."

"That’s also true," Third Grandma Qi laughed, if He Tiantian was like this, it meant she was living well.

Huo Yingjie was over there looking after the children, laughing with a simple and honest smile.

After He Tiantian ate her meal hastily, she came out of the kitchen and did the household chores with Aunt Liu.

After Qi Daniu had her meal, she came over to play and helped look after the children.

Huo Yingjie stepped inside to get something, and He Tiantian followed closely behind, finally finding the opportunity to be alone with him, and pinched hard at the flesh on Huo Yingjie’s waist.

"In the future, don’t be so... so..." He Tiantian was shy and didn’t know what words to use to describe Huo Yingjie for a moment.

"So... what?" Huo Yingjie asked softly, taking advantage of He Tiantian’s daze to steal a kiss.

He Tiantian pushed him away and said, "So... so reckless, promiscuous..."

"Ha, ha!" Huo Yingjie laughed proudly, "I am reckless and loose with my wife, who is legally married to me, what about it?"

"Ah?" He Tiantian was stunned, having not expected Huo Yingjie to be so audaciously righteous, "You made it so I couldn’t sleep well!"

"How could you not sleep well!" Huo Yingjie countered, "I saw you sleeping sweeter than usual. You even snored last night!"

He Tiantian, annoyed, retorted, "You’re the one who snores!"

"Alright, I snore too," Huo Yingjie laughed, "Okay, I need to trim the kids’ nails now!"

Having said that, Huo Yingjie removed a nail clipper from his keyring, and with a casual air left the room.

He Tiantian watched Huo Yingjie leave, suddenly realizing that she seemed to have gone off-topic with her complaint. She initially wanted him to exert some self-control, so how did the topic shift to snoring?

Ah, a man being too smart can be a source of vexation.

Unless Huo Yingjie deliberately conceded, He Tiantian, with her own eloquence, definitely would not win against Huo Yingjie.

Outside, Huo Yingjie was focusing intently on trimming the children’s nails.

Huo Ruihua and Huo Ruimin were being good, sitting quietly on a little stool like good babies.

He Tiantian knew just from watching their lips move differently that they must have candy in their mouths, otherwise, they would never be so well-behaved.

He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie approached the education of their two children with great seriousness and raised them very well indeed.

Looking at her husband, son, and daughter bathed in the morning sunlight, He Tiantian suddenly recalled everything since their marriage, especially after having children.

The child opening his eyes, gazing around in a daze.

The child’s first time rolling over, the first time crawling, the first time shakily walking with the wall’s support.

The most touching moment was when the child mumbled the words "Mom... Mom..." for the first time, it brought tears streaming down He Tiantian’s face.

All the hard work and tiredness vanished with that one call.

Once Huo Yingjie finished clipping the children’s fingernails and toenails, he turned his head and saw He Tiantian, who was lost in thought.

"What are you thinking about?" Huo Yingjie asked, seeing happiness in He Tiantian’s expression, which made him feel very happy too.

"Heh, nothing much," He Tiantian came back to her senses, "By the way, what would you like for lunch? I’ll cook for you all."

Huo Yingjie thought for a moment and said, "I’m easy, but steam some egg custard for the child."

"Mmm, okay," He Tiantian nodded, "Since you’re not specifying, I’ll make your favorite braised pork ribs."

He Tiantian had seen some pork ribs in the kitchen and wanted to make this dish to treat the man in front of her well.

"Great," Huo Yingjie replied. Whenever it came to food, He Tiantian would forget any minor temper.

But he didn’t mind those small temper tantrums, treating them as the pleasures of the bedroom and let his wife be, since he enjoyed it anyway.

During lunch, He Tiantian asked, "Grandma, Professor Wang, Professor Gu have already gone back, and Brother Yingjie and I have visited them. What about Uncle Qian, Uncle Sun?"

"They’ve also gone back," Third Grandma Qi said, "Didn’t they visit your place in the last two months?"

He Tiantian shook her head, "No, they haven’t."

"Then they must be busy with something," Third Grandma Qi said, "If they come to you, you can help out depending on the situation. If they don’t, there’s no need to go out of your way."

Old Man Qi reminded them.

Having dealt with Qian Shikun and Sun Sihao for several years, he knew their temperaments well.

How to put it?

It wasn’t that they were bad, just very opportunistic.

"Got it, Grandpa Qi," He Tiantian nodded, she was just asking.

In the afternoon, He Tiantian, pushing a small cart, and Third Grandma Qi went for a walk in the village.

From a distance they heard a quarrel, and narrowing her eyes, He Tiantian carefully observed and said, "Grandma, it looks like it’s coming from Qi Shuli’s house."

Hearing this, Third Grandma Qi turned her head and said, "Probably the same old trivial matters, let’s go back. We shouldn’t head over there."

Though curious, He Tiantian didn’t want to bring the children to join the commotion, knowing that with Qi Daniu, the little loudspeaker around, she would find out soon enough what had happened.

While Third Grandma Qi and He Tiantian were walking and chatting leisurely, they didn’t notice a woman at the mouth of the alley staring resentfully at their backs.

Half an hour after He Tiantian got home, Qi Daniu arrived.

He Tiantian had already prepared Chrysanthemum Tea and snacks awaiting Qi Daniu.

"Sister Tiantian, you definitely don’t know what big event occurred in the village," Qi Daniu said mysteriously, her voice a bit low.

Third Grandma Qi, who was cooling off nearby, fanned herself and said, "Daniu, speak up, let me hear."

"Oh!" Qi Daniu laughed, "Just now, Accountant Qi and his urbanite son-in-law Li Mingkai had a huge argument, almost coming to blows."

"What were they fighting about?" Third Grandma Qi asked, "Isn’t their family alright?"

"Last year Li Mingkai didn’t go to university, not because he failed, but because Accountant Qi hid his university admission letter," Qi Daniu excitedly said, "Second Aunt Qi was airing out a sleeping mat and wasn’t paying attention, and the letter got caught in the mat and was brought out. Coincidentally, Li Mingkai’s child found it, and when Li Mingkai saw it, he realized what had happened, so they got into a fight."
