Chapter 778: Chapter 747: Please, The Small Script of Zan Hua_1

At the time, Bai Qiongyu couldn’t persuade her, but she was already prepared to support He Tiantian as a grandmother if Tiantian didn’t lead a good life.

Now, her support was no longer needed.

"Thank you, grandma." He Tiantian felt a sourness in her nose, and she was especially proud to receive her grandmother’s praise, feeling that everything she did was now valuable.

While He Tiantian was talking with her grandmother and mother, Huo Yingjie and He Jingyu were chatting over tea.

"Yingjie, I heard that you started working, right?" He Jingyu asked, "Did you take leave to accompany Tiantian to see the house?"

Huo Yingjie poured some more tea for his father-in-law and said, "No, Dad. I finished a project and have a month and a half of vacation, which I can spend at home to properly accompany Tiantian and help her with whatever I can."

"Wow, a month and a half of vacation, your company is quite generous!" He Jingyu exclaimed, "Having so much time off doesn’t make sense!"

He Jingyu was familiar with domestic companies and knew it was rare for them to offer such time off.

"I talked to Chief Engineer Sun and said, two major projects a year, and once I complete them, I should get a vacation; otherwise, I’d just slack off," said Huo Yingjie. If he couldn’t reunite with his family, for whom was he working so hard?

"Hehe, that’s quite good," He Jingyu laughed, "Chief Engineer Sun is also broad-minded. If it were someone else, they’d probably have made things difficult for you a long time ago."

Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "If they made things difficult for me, I’d just go into civilian research and wouldn’t have to be away from home all the time. If no civilian research institute wanted me, then I’d go into business. With my talents, inventing a small household gadget would be easy and I could still provide for the family."

Huo Yingjie had this attitude of a pig not afraid of scalding water!

No vacation, no performance!

Chief Engineer Sun cherished talent and kept everything under wraps, which is why Huo Yingjie could live so comfortably.

"I don’t understand your work, but knowing you have this intention, I’m also reassured," He Jingyu said with emotion. Men struggle outside, and women take care of the home—that’s the norm for many families.

Many men think of these as women’s responsibilities, but they don’t consider that women also have to work, unlike in ancient times when women didn’t have to do any work or business, only manage the home, take care of children, and do household chores.

Huo Yingjie could understand Tiantian’s hardships and cherished her, being considerate and caring—that was Tiantian’s happiness.

"Dad, don’t worry, I will treat Tiantian well," Huo Yingjie said, "Possibly because of my work, Tiantian’s overseas screenings will be quite troublesome, so I guess it will be a burden on you to frequently return to the country."

He Jingyu smiled and responded, "That’s nothing, Mother has arranged for a private plane, so it’s convenient for us to come back."

Having money was indeed great—such strong financial power!

He Jingyu had seen a lot in Country M, often feeling fortunate that he went abroad in his forties. If he had been in his twenties, he surely wouldn’t have been able to withstand the temptations abroad.

"Thank you for understanding, Father-in-law," Huo Yingjie expressed his gratitude. His wife was wonderful, and her parents were reasonable as well; they could discuss anything and wouldn’t have any conflicts.

After dinner together, Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian were driven back to the Huo Family Old Mansion by a hotel car.

The Old Madam Huo, Song Chunli, and Zhao Huanhuan were chatting. Seeing He Tiantian had returned, they all smiled and greeted her.

"Tiantian, how are your grandmother, parents, and younger brother? Are they in good health?" Old Madam Huo asked. "If they are free, please invite them over to our home for a casual meal. If they are not, it would be my pleasure to visit your grandmother!"

No matter what, since the in-laws, as well as the grandmother from the in-law’s side, were visiting, she, as an elder, could not fail to acknowledge them.

After all, she was very satisfied with He Tiantian. At the time her grandson and granddaughter-in-law got married without much fanfare, she had always felt a sense of guilt towards He Tiantian. If they visited and she did not make her stance clear, to outsiders, it would seem as though she was taking He Tiantian lightly.

Perhaps He Tiantian did not mind, but the in-laws and the grandmother from the in-law’s side were particular about these things, and they cared!

He Tiantian took out an invitation card similar to an embossed hardpaper card from her bag, and handed it to Old Madam Huo with both hands. "Grandma, this is a card my grandma personally wrote for her visit."

Old Madam Huo was startled. Ah, so these things are in vogue in the domestic scene now. Receiving a serious invitation like this touched Old Madam Huo and gave her much to think about.

The in-law’s grandmother was also a person who adhered to the old ways.

Through a simple act, she displayed modesty and refined manners.

"Good, you’re welcome," Old Madam Huo also said as she accepted the card with both hands, to show sincerity. The cover was adorned with some elegant magnolia flowers, and it included a few gracefully penned verses.

Song Chunli and Zhao Huanhuan were also curious and felt that He Tiantian’s grandmother was indeed meticulous.

Old Madam Huo solemnly opened the card and saw a few lines of beautiful, small, regular script calligraphy, accompanied by a soft fragrance. After pondering for a moment, she said, "Your grandmother is thoughtful."

"It’s her first visit, grandma said to make it formal," He Tiantian said with a smile, aware that her grandmother and parents’ visit was not only a courtesy, but also to let the Huo Family know that she came from a family that supported her, and she was not someone to be trifled with.

"Hmm, good, I will make proper arrangements," Old Madam Huo said. "The child is tired; you all should go upstairs."

"Then goodnight, grandma," He Tiantian smiled, carrying the child upstairs.

It was only after Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian went upstairs that Song Chunli quietly asked, "May I take a look at that card?"

Old Madam Huo handed the card to Song Chunli. "Take a look. The He Family is indeed a family of scholars, and it is no lie. This beautiful handwriting couldn’t be achieved without decades of practice," she commented.

After Song Chunli finished, Zhao Huanhuan took it over for a look.

"Yeah, it’s written so well," Zhao Huanhuan remarked. "Before, I heard Yingjun say that Tiantian looks a lot like her grandmother. Back in the United States, they actually found her grandmother through resemblance."

"She must be a beauty," Song Chunli praised in all seriousness.

"Yes, our family’s Huanhuan is also pretty, but compared to Tiantian, she falls a bit short," Old Madam Huo said. "Huanhuan, don’t be offended, this is the truth!"

"What’s there to mind?" Zhao Huanhuan was unfazed. After all, He Tiantian was indeed prettier than her in both face and figure. "I’ve been aware of this since the first time I met my sister-in-law!"

"It’s not just that Tiantian is beautiful; she also has a good nature," Old Madam Huo mentioned. "Of course, Huanhuan, you have a good nature too."

Zhao Huanhuan covered her mouth and giggled, "Grandma, you are good at comforting people. If it were someone else, I might be jealous, but Tiantian is so considerate and behaves so appropriately that even jealousy feels out of place."

"Hehe, you are quite clear-headed," Song Chunli laughed. "Ah, when I was young, I secretly envied your second aunt. You wouldn’t know, but back in those days, how well your second uncle treated your second aunt! In contrast, your grandfather, always busy with work, falling asleep as soon as he got home without a word of affection, it used to make me angry."
