Chapter 785: Chapter 754: Plan, Punching_1

Jiang Lifang nodded. This is what a lady raised in a great household is like, some things are understood with just a hint.

"Yeah, right, your aunt didn’t say she wanted to start a business with you?" asked Jiang Lifang. Since He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie had gone to Yanjing, she’d been worried about this matter.

He Tiantian smiled and said, "No, I go out with Brother Yingjie during the day, and after coming back for dinner at night, I return to my room. Then when I’m idle, my grandma and parents come over, so she hasn’t had the time to mention it."

He Tiantian felt somewhat relieved as well.

"Hehe, that’s good," said Jiang Lifang. "I was worried it would be difficult for you!"

She was concerned her daughter-in-law would be wronged in her absence.

"The timing isn’t right now. When the moment is ripe to open a store in Yanjing, then I’ll bring her along to do business," said He Tiantian. "Let her earn some money, lest she keeps talking all day and affects the affection between the two families."

He Tiantian already had a plan.

"Mm, just weigh the options yourself and make sure you don’t put yourself in a difficult situation," said Jiang Lifang. As for the main house, it was enough for it to look good superficially, especially for Song Chunli.

It was impossible to sever the relationship between the two families. Even if they didn’t regard Song Chunli’s face, they needed to save face for the Old Master and Old Madam, as well as for Huo Zheqian and Huo Yingjun.

"I’ve got it, mom," said He Tiantian. "It’s been hot lately. Take care of yourself."

Seeing that He Tiantian was concerned about her health, Jiang Lifang was also very pleased.

"Okay, I’ll take care," she said. "You know my job keeps me very busy. In front of your grandma, you’ll have to speak up for me." Jiang Lifang was worried that her constant work might cause Tiantian’s grandma to misunderstand.

"Mom, don’t worry, Grandma is very magnanimous. You’re helping to save and heal lives; we all understand," He Tiantian said. "By the way, I have porridge simmering in the kitchen. I will bring it over for you. Have some when Dad comes back."

"Alright, I’ll bring the stove over in a bit," said Jiang Lifang. "Your dad will probably drink and not eat much, so cooking some porridge is just right. You’re thoughtful."

Huo Yingjie carried the stove over while Jiang Lifang held the porridge, and they both went next door.

Huo Yingjie also brewed some hangover tea in a thermos, saying, "Mom, this is the hangover tea that I got from the Chinese doctor. If Dad has been drinking, have him drink some of this before eating the porridge."

"Great!" Jiang Lifang was happy. Having a son and daughter-in-law who were so filial naturally filled a mother’s heart with joy.

The couple checked the house one last time before washing up and heading back to their room.

As soon as He Tiantian lay down on the bed, she didn’t want to move anymore.

Huo Yingjie lay on his side next to He Tiantian and asked softly, "Tired?"

"Mm!" He Tiantian nodded. Although she was happy, traveling plus the non-stop busyness since returning home had indeed made her a bit tired.

"Then let me give you a massage," Huo Yingjie said. "Lie down properly!"

He Tiantian lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and rested.

Huo Yingjie gently massaged from He Tiantian’s head, neck, all the way down to her back, with threads of divine power penetrating through the acupoints, seeping into He Tiantian’s body.

"It feels good, keep massaging," urged He Tiantian. "Once I’ve rested up, I’ll give you a massage."

Hearing these words, Huo Yingjie interpreted them with his own understanding.

He Tiantian was really tired, and even though Huo Yingjie wanted to do something, he just couldn’t bear to.

Huo Yingjie tenderly massaged He Tiantian and then lit a stick of Calming Incense, which made He Tiantian sleep even more soundly.

Without any dreams, He Tiantian slept until dawn.

Outside, the sky was bright, and it was already half past six when He Tiantian got up.

In the courtyard, Bai Qiongyu was practicing a set of slow-motion martial arts with He Jingyu and Wang Shuping. This was something Huo Yingjie taught his father, and considering his father found it beneficial, he probably taught grandma and mother as well.

"Grandma, have you also started practicing martial arts?" He Tiantian asked, "Hmm, looking at how proficient you are, it seems you’ve been practicing for a year or two."

"Yes, it’s been two years. Your father saw that I was lacking in strength, so he taught me martial arts. At first, I didn’t believe it, but after a month of practice, my hands and feet became more nimble, and I kept it up. Aside from catching a cold once this past year, my health has been excellent. During this year’s medical examination, the family doctor even said my health was better than others my age," Bai Qiongyu explained. "Since it’s so effective, I also got your mother to practice with me. You should, when you have time, ask Yingjie to teach you. Health is the real wealth. Without it, everything else is empty talk."

"Uh-huh, grandma is right. I’ll practice with you in the future," He Tiantian nodded repeatedly. She wanted to live a long and healthy life alongside Brother Yingjie.

After speaking, He Tiantian went to prepare breakfast.

The rice cooker already had porridge simmering, and the vegetables were also sorted out.

Huo Yingjie went out and bought buns, fried dough sticks, and tofu rolls.

Today’s breakfast was Chinese-style with a few sandwiches prepared. There was no milk at home, only soy milk.

"In the future, if it’s inconvenient to make Western-style breakfast at home, then don’t bother," Bai Qiongyu said with a smile. Although tasty, she didn’t want to trouble He Tiantian.

"Grandma, aren’t they tasty?" He Tiantian asked. "If they aren’t good, I can ask Brother Yingjie to go buy fresh bread early in the morning."

"They’re delicious," Bai Qiongyu said. "I just think it’s too much of a hassle for you. You work so hard, and I don’t want to tire you out."

"It’s fine, grandma, it’s just a small thing I can do easily," He Tiantian said. "Besides, it’s summer vacation now, I don’t have to work, there’s nothing to do in the shop, and I’m not busy just cooking for the family."

"Good!" Bai Qiongyu said. "It’s very tasty, and I really like it."

"Okay then, today I’ll prepare more ingredients so I can make something even tastier tomorrow," He Tiantian said with a smile, believing that cooking for her family was an expression of love.

She hoped to do things for her family to express her love.

After breakfast, Bai Qiongyu and He Jingyu were off to the municipal government, as they had a lot of matters to discuss.

Wang Shuping stayed at home to help He Tiantian take care of children.

"Mom, since grandma and dad won’t be coming for lunch, how about we take Grandma Wang and go to grandma’s place?" He Tiantian suggested. She hadn’t seen Third Grandma Qi for some time and missed her.

Wang Shuping nodded repeatedly, "I also want to visit my mother-in-law. As for your father and grandmother, they can go directly to mother-in-law’s place when they come back this evening. That way, we can all spend some good time together."

"Great, I’ll get ready then," He Tiantian said, her face beaming.

While He Tiantian was packing up, the driver for Qi Zhenghan arrived, mentioning that the Old Madam had invited them over.

"Mom, look at grandma. She’s not coming over because she doesn’t want to trouble me with cooking. She has maids at her place and has even sent a car to pick us up," He Tiantian said. "She thought just like we did."

"Yes, and I bought a gift for mother-in-law; we can take it with us now," Wang Shuping was also very happy and couldn’t wait to visit her mother-in-law.
