Chapter 793: Chapter 762 Night Exploration, A Familiar Person_1

After discussing it together, the siblings finally agreed to let their grandmother and Second Uncle leave.

They understood that what they considered good was not necessarily the same as what their grandmother and Second Uncle thought was good; hence, respecting the elders’ true wishes was the most filial thing to do.

Village Chief Qi had enjoyed his stay in Nan City for a few days; He Tiantian and Qi Zhenghan helped him buy many things, and the couple also purchased gifts for them.

With Qi Zhenghan and Qi Zhengmin around to help carry the items, Niu Dajun, Qi Xiaoyan, and Village Chief Qi managed to take everything with them despite buying a lot.

They had already sent a telegram in advance, stating the train schedule and date; Qi Xiaoyan’s elder brother, Qi Rongjun, would pick them up at the station, so they wouldn’t be tired.

Within just a week, He Tiantian had sent Third Grandma Qi away.

"Ah, I truly understand that there is no feast that doesn’t come to an end," He Tiantian said, "People come and go, round and round, and eventually, everyone must part. When all is said and done, only husband and wife can support and accompany each other to the end."

"Yes," Huo Yingjie said; in ten days, he too would be leaving, which would probably make Tiantian even sadder.

However, Huo Yingjie didn’t want to talk about parting with He Tiantian prematurely.

Once home, he suddenly felt the house had become much quieter.

Huo Ruihua and Huo Ruimin also seemed a bit listless, not as lively as before.

"Ruimin, Ruihua, look, the turtle is waiting for you at the door; it probably misses you. Why don’t you go and play with the Little Rotating Turtle, okay?" He Tiantian said with a smile, composing herself as she didn’t want her mood to affect the children.

The children’s eyes lit up at the sight of the nodding Little Rotating Turtle, and they competed to get down from their parents’ arms to go play with it.

Having shifted the kids’ attention, He Tiantian went into the room.

"Brother Yingjie, you watch the kids outside; I’m going to take a nap," said He Tiantian after a quick wash-up, feeling tired and ready for sleep.

Huo Yingjie kissed He Tiantian’s forehead and said, "Go ahead, I’m here. You get some good rest."

He Tiantian went into the room to rest and, despite some noise outside, she quickly fell asleep.

During this time, Huo Yingjie tiptoed in to check on her, ensuring that she didn’t have a fever or wasn’t overheating.

He sat beside the bed, looking at He Tiantian with immense tenderness.

Having relatives over made her very happy indeed, but it had also tired He Tiantian out.

Rest well!

When Huo Yingjie came out and sat at the stone table, he received a telepathic message from the Little Rotating Turtle.

"Master, at two o’clock this morning, two extraordinary humans flew over our courtyard," the Little Rotating Turtle reported. "One of them had an aura that seemed familiar to me, it seemed to be from Huashan!"

Huashan had once visited here, so the Little Rotating Turtle remembered its aura.

"Huashan?" Huo Yingjie frowned, "After several years, they finally can’t restrain themselves."

"Their visit this time was primarily to investigate me," the Little Rotating Turtle said, "Perhaps it was my aura that caught their attention. In ten days, you will be leaving, and I’m concerned they might harm the lady and the children."

Huo Yingjie listened and remained silent for a while before softly responding, "Rotating Turtle, don’t worry about this matter for now. Since they are looking for you, they probably won’t harm ordinary people. If possible, try to gauge their strength."

"Okay," the Rotating Turtle agreed. "I feel that they can’t beat me."

The Rotating Turtle was brimming with confidence.

"We mustn’t be careless; I need to think about how to quietly get these people to stay away from our family, so they won’t disturb our peaceful life," Huo Yingjie said, knowing that what was inevitable would eventually come.

Cui Ying, after chasing her dreams to Nan City, got into a university there and spent time with her family.

As for Cui Heng, he became a university professor while Cui Ying and Huashan worked at the museum. They had devoted a lot of time and effort to achieve some goals.

If there was no progress at all, it would not do justice to their years of hard work and waiting.

"Yes, master," Little Rotating Turtle responded, continuing to play with the children.

He Tiantian slept until just before lunchtime.

The meal was prepared by Huo Yingjie and tasted pretty good.

He Tiantian ate three small bowls of rice and a lot of dishes. Finally feeling revived, her eyes brightened with energy.

These days, busy with receiving relatives, He Tiantian had no time to check the accounts.

Fortunately, there was Accountant Liang, who managed the shop’s accounts meticulously and clearly.

He Tiantian looked over them and found no problems.

Accountant Liang valued her current job highly; not only was the salary good, which solved her difficulties, but the work was relatively simple: just keeping the books, filing taxes, and verifying data accuracy.

One day’s work could be finished in the morning, making the afternoons relatively leisurely.

The shop’s income had stabilized, and all aspects of management were now well-coordinated, resulting in high work efficiency.

He Tiantian believed that in the near future, she would personally make a trip to Yanjing to pay off the remaining loans.

Zhang Mengmeng was surprised and delighted to see He Tiantian, as she had earned a bonus of five hundred yuan that summer, more than her family’s yearly income.

"Teacher He, school starts in half a month, then I can attend Teacher He’s classes again," Zhang Mengmeng said with a smile, having completed one year of university, with two more years to graduate.

As long as she found a job, she would have a steady career.

"Hmm, I do miss the students a bit," He Tiantian said. "By the way, you didn’t go back home this summer vacation. Do you want me to give you some time off to go back?"

Zhang Mengmeng shook her head and said, "I won’t go back. Here, I can make eight to nine yuan a day. My home is far away, and it would take several days to travel back and forth, which isn’t worth it. I’ll go back during the New Year instead."

She had already inquired that during the New Year, the shop would have a ten-day holiday, which wouldn’t interfere with her usual work and earnings.

Since her family was not well-off, sending more money home was more meaningful than her visiting.

"Alright, as long as you have thought it through," He Tiantian said with a smile and left after buying some items.

Zhang Mengmeng bid farewell to He Tiantian and went back to attending to her business.

In private, He Tiantian also found Sun Sihao and learned about Zhang Mengmeng. Sun Sihao had praised her more than once, saying that she was a sweet-talking, hardworking employee, which was why she, a temporary worker, could receive more bonus than the regular employees.

He Tiantian checked on the two shops and was very pleased with them.

She had nine days left, which she and Huo Yingjie would spend alone, enjoying each other’s company.

Huo Yingjie didn’t come with He Tiantian; he went to check on Cui Heng and Huashan to find out what they were really up to!

Huashan and Cui Ying were in the courtyard, dining with Cui Heng and Cui Yong.

Cui Yong was Cui Ying’s father and Huashan’s mentor.
