Chapter 788: Chapter 757: Uncle is a Bad Guy, Capsules_1

In the summer, it’s the bamboo mat; later on, you just have to take it out to wash and sun it, and it’ll be fine.

"Mommy’s bad, didn’t hear Ruimin’s voice." He Tiantian said, "It won’t happen again!"

Huo Ruihua didn’t cry, but his accusatory little eyes were very dissatisfied.

At this moment, Wang Shuping, hearing the crying from before, hurried in and found out that the children had wet the bed.

The two children, seeing their grandma come in, quickly picked up the blanket to cover the wet spot. Their cheeks were red; they didn’t want their grandma to see.

Wang Shuping smiled and pretended not to notice.

It was He Doudou, who had followed her in, who upon seeing this laughed and said, "Ah, you two wet the bed, how embarrassing!"

"Wah..." Now, Huo Ruihua and Huo Ruimin, the two little friends, cried together.

The little uncle is a bad guy!

He Doudou, seeing his nephew and niece crying, got a shock. Noticing the glaring looks from his mother and sister, he realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly corrected himself, "Actually, it’s not embarrassing to wet the bed; it’s crying after wetting the bed that’s embarrassing.

The more he said, the louder Huo Ruihua and Huo Ruimin cried.

Wang Shuping stretched out her hand to hit her son, but He Doudou cleverly turned and ran away.

If he didn’t run now, he would be hit; he had to hurry and find Dad.

Wang Shuping and He Tiantian each held one child, coaxing them in soft and gentle voices.

Eventually, they managed to soothe the two little ones.

"Don’t like uncle." Huo Ruimin pouted, holding a grudge.

"I don’t like him either!" Huo Ruihua agreed with his sister for once, "Uncle is annoying!"

Wang Shuping smiled and said, "Later on, grandma will hit your little uncle for you, to vent your anger, okay?"

"Good, grandma’s good." Huo Ruimin smiled and kissed Wang Shuping on the face, "Hit him!"

"Hmm, hit him." Wang Shuping said, "You guys are good, obedient babies."

"Good babies." Huo Ruimin was so happy.

He Tiantian prepared a basin of warm water to wash the kids’ bottoms before dressing them.

He Doudou found his dad and practiced the slow, leisurely fitness boxing with him and grandma.

Seeing mom and sister come out, he felt a little guilty and hid behind his father.

But children have a strong play instinct; just a moment ago they disliked their little uncle, yet now, seeing him practicing boxing, they scurried over. The three of them started playing together again.

Huo Yingjie saw He Tiantian get up and smiled, "Breakfast will be ready soon, wash up, and let’s eat together."

"Okay, thanks for your hard work, Brother Yingjie." He Tiantian whispered, noticing that everyone else was outside the kitchen, she sneakily kissed Huo Yingjie.

A husband this good deserves a reward.

Wang Shuping and He Jingyu saw that the young couple had a good relationship and that the children were healthy and clever; indeed, there was no need to worry.

Before, when they were abroad, they often worried that He Tiantian was not doing well.

"Hehe, Tiantian has a very good temperament, but if someone really bullies her, she won’t just put up with it," Bai Qiongyu said. "She has a plan for her life and her own steps to follow; others just need to watch quietly. We support her when she encounters difficulties, but otherwise, we shouldn’t meddle too much."

"Mother is right," He Jingyu replied. "This time we’re back, and we don’t know when the next time will be!"

"It shouldn’t be too long," Bai Qiongyu said. "As domestic reforms and opening up continue, the interaction with the outside world will become very close, making travel back and forth very convenient."

"Hmm, that’s true," He Jingyu laughed and continued practicing boxing with his good mother.

After breakfast, Bai Qiongyu took He Jingyu to the municipal government again for further discussions.

Back at home, He Tiantian and Wang Shuping were doing household chores while chatting and laughing, and time flew by quickly.

In the evening, He Tiantian took the medicinal pills given to her by Huo Yingjie and entered her grandmother’s room.

Bai Qiongyu was reading documents with her reading glasses on. Seeing He Tiantian come in, she put the documents aside and laughed, "It’s so late, aren’t you going to sleep?"

"I’ll sleep in a bit," He Tiantian smiled and poured her grandmother a glass of water. "Grandma, here are the strengthening pills that Brother Yingjie got from the old traditional doctor. They’re very effective. One pill every three months guarantees you’ll feel lighter in your body."

Bai Qiongyu took them, opened the bottle to smell it, and was greeted with a strong herbal scent. She laughed, "They look very promising."

"They are indeed," said He Tiantian. "I’ve given a bottle each to grandfather and grandmother in Yanjing and to grandma as well. They all felt much better after trying it, so I asked Yingjie to get two bottles for you too. I originally wanted to send them to you, but considering the special nature of these pills, they might be taken out for inspection during shipping and it wouldn’t be proper for them to be handled so much."

"Hehe, it’s indeed more appropriate to give them to me in person," Bai Qiongyu chuckled. "Since they’re so effective, I must try them."

After saying this, she took the water and pills handed to her by He Tiantian and swallowed them down.

"Not bitter," Bai Qiongyu commented. "My stomach feels warm and very comfortable."

Bai Qiongyu had chronic gastritis, and her stomach hadn’t felt this comfortable in a long time.

"You can’t take too much of this medicine, just one pill every three months. This is a two-year supply, and there are two bottles. Just keep them at room temperature," He Tiantian instructed. "Once you finish these, I’ll bring you more."

"Good!" Bai Qiongyu replied. "I’m getting old and just want to live a few more years. Your father is honest and somewhat out of his depth with all these matters, so I can only supervise from the sidelines. It will probably take another twenty years for your brother to grow up, and I have to live to at least ninety to see that happen."

"Grandma, you’ve worked hard," He Tiantian said. She couldn’t bring herself to suggest that her grandmother should handle some of the family affairs to have more leisure time because all that was the heart and soul of the Bai Family and her grandmother.

Bai Qiongyu smiled and replied, "It’s okay. With family around, I’m not lonely, so it’s not that hard. Besides, if I really had nothing to do and just drank tea and read books all day, I wouldn’t be used to it."

"Coming back this time and seeing you’re doing well, your parents and I can rest easy," Bai Qiongyu said. "Even though we’re abroad, we’ve always been very concerned about you."

He Tiantian, touched, said, "Grandma, you all take care too. As long as we’re all doing well, even if we’re not together, we can still think of each other."

"Exactly," Bai Qiongyu said. "Alright, I’m feeling very comfortable and would like to go to sleep now. You should rest too. If there’s anything to talk about, we can do so tomorrow."

"Then Grandma, have a good rest," He Tiantian nodded. "See you tomorrow."

Indeed, as Bai Qiongyu had said, she felt very comfortable lying in bed and fell asleep effortlessly, unlike her usual difficulty in falling asleep.

After a good night’s sleep, the next morning, Bai Qiongyu looked radiant and found that not only her body felt more relaxed, but even her breathing had become more effortless.

With two bottles of medicine in hand, Bai Qiongyu pondered deeply. Could they really be that good?

She decided to observe the effects for a few more days.

Being a cautious person, Bai Qiongyu placed the bottles at the very bottom of her suitcase, intending to preserve such good stuff properly.
