Chapter 889: Chapter 858: Someone is pursuing her at such a young age?

When Wu Mian left the office of Vice Director Wu, he happened to run into He Tiantian again.

The atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

This time, Wu Mian was not as arrogant as before, and with a smile, he said, "Hello, Teacher He!"

"Hello!" He Tiantian nodded, neither cold nor warm, and went into the office. She did not change her attitude just because she saw them.

With something in her stomach, it stopped growling.

He Tiantian started preparing lessons, aiming to be done within an hour so she could enjoy a day off tomorrow with no classes.

Thinking about this made He Tiantian even happier.

She was highly efficient and finished before lunchtime.

Teacher Liu called He Tiantian to join them for lunch, and everyone chatted and laughed. Xiao Chen was an exceptionally lively girl, and talkative too.

He Tiantian quite liked this teacher.

After teaching in the afternoon, she could go home at five o’clock.

Today, school let out early, so He Tiantian picked up her children herself and spent a wonderful afternoon with them.

At the school gate, she arrived just as school was dismissed. Zhang Ning was there too, but he did not come forward, allowing He Tiantian to pick them up and spend some more time with her son and daughter.

The two children ran towards their mother like two happy beans when they saw her coming to pick them up.

He Tiantian opened the car door and let them in.

He Tiantian greeted a few familiar parents and then got in the car and left.

"Mom, Little Fatty gave me an apple to eat today," said Huo Ruimin. "It was especially delicious..."

"Did you give Little Fatty something tasty too?" He Tiantian asked. It’s okay for a girl to accept treats from others, but she shouldn’t get into the habit of expecting things for free.

"I did, I shared my chocolate beans with him," Huo Ruimin said. "He said they were really tasty, and now we’re good friends."

Hearing this, He Tiantian smiled and said, "Not bad, you did well!"

"Mom, Sister Tiantian and Little Fatty fought again today," Huo Ruihua whispered, shifting to the side, a little further from his sister.

"Huo Ruihua!" Huo Ruimin’s eyes widened. Hadn’t they agreed before not to tattle anymore? "Tattletale!"

"Mom told me to watch over you. You don’t listen to me, so I have to tell Mom," argued Huo Ruihua. "Mom, isn’t that right?"

Indeed, that’s what He Tiantian had told her son.

Her daughter was impulsive and prone to trouble, while her son was quiet and well-behaved, so she usually instructed him to keep a close eye on his sister.

Huo Ruihua did well, and He Tiantian couldn’t demotivate him.

"Yes, my instructions were what your brother said. Ruimin, can you tell me why you fought? And if you fought, why did he give you an apple to eat, and you gave him chocolate beans?" He Tiantian asked her daughter, curious.

Huo Ruimin looked a bit embarrassed, glancing at her brother and said, "It’s... it’s because Little Fatty asked me to be his wife, and I didn’t agree, so we fought. But he didn’t cry and said it didn’t hurt. He gave me an apple to eat, and I shared my food with him."

Er... um...

He Tiantian was taken aback, then glanced at her daughter’s round little face in the rearview mirror. Fair and cute, with two adorable buns on her head, pretty hair clips—indeed, she looked very pretty.

But to be pursued at such a young age.

"Alright," He Tiantian said, "next time Little Fatty says something, just tell them we’re too young and Mom said you’re not allowed to date."

"Mm-hm, I’ll tell them that next time," Huo Ruimin said seriously, "I’ll wait until I’ve grown up to date."

"Ruihua did very well, I’ll give you an extra chicken drumstick tonight," He Tiantian said with a smile, "Alright, we’re home now."

Once they were home, the child ate the glutinous rice balls Grandma Wang had made and then started to do homework with He Tiantian’s help.

Getting children into the habit of doing their homework from a young age would help them continue this habit as they got older, finishing homework before going off to play.

Ever since the first day of school, that was how He Tiantian expected her child to behave.

Playing was fine and having demands was permissible, but the homework had to be completed first.

He Tiantian had intended to watch the child do homework, but when Huo Yingjie came home, she handed this task over to him and started cooking herself.

Grandma Wang usually worked very hard, and He Tiantian didn’t want to make the elderly woman exert herself.

However, Grandma Wang believed she was healthy and able to work, and had already taken over the task of preparing lunch and dinner.

"Tiantian, your cooking is really the best," Grandma Wang praised, "Why can’t I create the same flavor? It’s really strange."

He Tiantian chuckled and said, "Everyone has their own habits when it comes to cooking, and the timing isn’t the same either. So even if the ingredients and seasonings are the same, that’s probably why there’s a difference in taste. But Grandma Wang, the food you make is already very delicious, we all like it a lot."

Even if the flavor wasn’t as good as He Tiantian’s, it was still better than most people could make.

He Tiantian, Huo Yingjie, and the child weren’t picky and were all very grateful for Grandma Wang’s hard work.

Grandma Wang was happy in her heart and said she would study hard to make better-tasting meals in the future.

Since tomorrow was a rest day, after dinner, He Tiantian went for a walk and stopped by Qi Xiaoyan’s place.

Qi Xiaoyan’s family had also just finished dinner and was cleaning up.

"Sister Tiantian, how come you have time to come by?" Qi Xiaoyan made some tea and sat in the living room chatting with He Tiantian.

"I had nothing to do after dinner, just out for a stroll," He Tiantian said with a smile, "By the way, I’m off tomorrow. Do you have class?"

Qi Xiaoyan’s eyes lit up as she said, "Sister Tiantian, even though I don’t have class tomorrow, I have a performance at the school’s welcome party tomorrow night. If you and brother-in-law have time, would you and Brother Dajun come and watch my performance?"

There were too few entertainment activities available, and even with a television at home, He Tiantian didn’t like watching it.

"Sure!" He Tiantian said with a smile, "I should be free, and we’ll definitely come to support you."

"Mm-hm," Qi Xiaoyan said, "And I’ve ordered a set of performance clothes from Wenwen, oh right, I still need some jewelry. Could I borrow your necklace to wear? My bracelets, Jade Pendants, and necklaces are fine for everyday wear, but not for performing."

He Tiantian nodded and said, "Of course, you can come to my house tomorrow, and I’ll help you get dressed. I’ll make sure you’re the brightest star of the evening."

Qi Xiaoyan’s eyes sparkled as she nodded repeatedly, "Sister Tiantian, you’re so kind! I’ll return it to you as soon as I’m done using it."

"Mm-hm, sure," He Tiantian nodded. She couldn’t bear to lend out the diamond necklace her grandmother had given her, but she had some crystal jewelry, like necklaces, that her mother often sent over.

Those items weren’t expensive, but they were flashy enough.

"Then I’ll pick up the performance clothes tomorrow morning and come to your place," Qi Xiaoyan said with a smile. With Sister Tiantian’s help, I’m sure to make a grand debut, right?

With the support of family and friends, as well as her own talent and effort, she was sure to succeed.
