The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 949 - 918: Good Strategy, Take It Home

Huo Yingjie now couldn’t wait to get home.

After picking up the children and coaxing them to eat, he would then take them home.

"Dad, I miss Mom," Huo Ruimin said softly, looking at Dad with a forlorn expression.

Though Huo Ruihua didn’t speak, he also looked at Dad with a pitiful gaze.

Huo Yingjie was stared at by his daughter and son, thinking that his son and daughter had never been away from their mother.

Now that they knew Mom was gone, they felt insecure all day and constantly wanted to find her.

If it were any other time when He Tiantian wasn’t home, the children wouldn’t be like this. It was just that now, their young hearts felt it was terrifying to be apart, worried that Mom wouldn’t come back.

"You two eat your meal nicely and go to school well. Dad will go and bring Mom back home soon," Huo Yingjie said with a smile, already having a full-proof plan, so there was no need to worry.

Today was a fruitful day, Huo Yingjie had received good news from Elder Auntie Song Chunli.

"Really?" Huo Ruimin stared at Dad, "Dad’s not lying?"

"Dad, not lying," Huo Yingjie said with a smile, "If you don’t believe it, let’s pinky promise!"

"Okay, okay, pinky promise!" Both children extended their hands and made a pinky promise with Dad for a hundred years, no changing.

Afterward, Huo Yingjie chuckled and went along with it, saying, "Alright, now you can eat properly, right?"

"Mmm, eat meal," Huo Ruimin obediently said, focusing on his meal.

Once he had taken the children back to school, Huo Yingjie had Xie Wu drive to Qingyuan Daoist Temple in the outskirts.

He Tiantian was reading a book when she heard from Wei Yuanyuan that Huo Yingjie was coming over, which greatly surprised her.

"Brother Yingjie, didn’t you say you were coming over on the weekend?" He Tiantian asked, "Why have you come over now? Has something we’ve done been exposed?"

Seeing He Tiantian’s nervousness, Huo Yingjie said with a smile, "Tiantian, you don’t have to stay here anymore."

"Ah?" He Tiantian asked, "What’s happened? Isn’t the family planning policy scrutiny quite strict?"

"Yes!" Huo Yingjie replied, "But Elder Auntie thought of an excellent plan for us."

"What? Elder Auntie came up with an excellent plan?" He Tiantian was momentarily stunned, somewhat disbelieving, as she had always been wary of getting too close to Elder Auntie.

"Yes, don’t be anxious, I’ll explain it to you in detail," Huo Yingjie said, "Yuanyuan, Sister Lu, hurry up and pack your things, we’re going home tonight."

Though Wei Yuanyuan and Lu Wanxia were curious, the employer had given the order, so they went to pack their things.

He Tiantian, somewhat anxious, asked, "Come on, tell me, I’m eager to know."

"Elder Auntie had my sister-in-law go to the hospital to get a doctor’s certification that you were pregnant before the start of the family planning policy, so it doesn’t fall within the policy’s range. Then Elder Auntie took the certificate to the Street’s Family Planning Committee to explain the situation. When the expected due date comes, we’ll register the birth. When it’s time to give birth, we’ll invite the obstetrician to our house, and we can have the baby at home. This way, we can completely slip past the rules," Huo Yingjie said with a smile, thinking more and more that this was a good method.

Upon hearing this, He Tiantian was incredibly surprised.

"My, my, Elder Auntie’s method is great, openly repairing the plank road while secretly crossing the Wei River!" He Tiantian exclaimed, "With this, I can stay at home. As long as I don’t go out and about, others won’t know.

Actually, this is just for appearances’ sake. If someone were to seriously investigate, it would mean cutting off the Huo Family’s lineage, which would make them the Huo Family’s enemy. Thus, many people, even if they understand or resent us, won’t make it public."

"Yes," Huo Yingjie said, "Let’s pack up as well, and all go home together. Ever since you left, the two children have been listless, eating little for breakfast. Lunch, too, if I hadn’t said I would bring you home, they probably wouldn’t have eaten."

Upon hearing that the children were not eating, He Tiantian was extremely distressed.

"Hurry up, let’s pack our things and head home right away," He Tiantian said. Nothing is more important than the children.

After all, even though the air is fresh and the surroundings are nice here, it’s not our own home!

"Alright, you stay put; I’ll do the packing. Don’t strain yourself," Huo Yingjie took He Tiantian’s hand, stopping her from helping, and began to bustle around, letting He Tiantian wait on the side.

It didn’t take long for Huo Yingjie to pack up He Tiantian’s personal belongings and load them into the car, then they were headed home.

With two cars, they could fit all their belongings.

As for the little courtyard Huo Yingjie had meticulously renovated, it now was left to the Qingyuan Daoist Temple.

When they arrived home, it was just in time for the children getting out of school.

"Brother Yingjie, let’s pick up the children," He Tiantian said. She hadn’t seen the children all day and missed them terribly.

"Alright!" Huo Yingjie agreed and parked at the school gate. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Seeing Huo Yingjie, Zhang Ning did not go to the school gate and had the teacher pick up the children.

Huo Yingjie met his son and daughter at the school gate.

"Daddy, did you pick up Mommy?" Huo Ruimin remembered what her father had said at noon. Even though Daddy never lied, she was still worried he might break his promise this time.

"I did, she’s in the car," Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "Hop in quickly, let’s go home."

"Mommy, Mommy!" The two children ran over joyfully, not minding their father trailing behind.

Xie Wu had already opened the back door of the car. After apologizing to Xie Wu, Huo Ruihua and Huo Ruimin got into the car.

He Tiantian sat in the passenger seat, turning her head to look at the two children in the back seat.

"Did you miss Mommy?" He Tiantian asked. Seeing that the children were in good spirits reassured her a bit.

"We did, we did," said Huo Ruimin. "I missed you so much that I couldn’t sleep well at night, and the food didn’t taste good..."

"Mommy, I missed you," Huo Ruihua said softly. Without many embellished words, his feelings of longing still came through.

He Tiantian felt warmth in her heart and said, "Mommy missed you too. Let’s go, we’re heading home."

When they got home, Grandma Wang saw that He Tiantian had returned and was also very curious.

He Tiantian recounted the whole idea that Elder Auntie Song Chunli had come up with, and upon hearing it, Grandma Wang smiled with relief.

"It’s rare for your elder auntie to think of something so considerate this time," Grandma Wang said with a smile. "Once things are settled, remember to thank her properly. With your mother-in-law not around, your elder auntie stepping in is most appropriate."

"Uh-huh. I’ve taken note," He Tiantian smiled and said, "Yingjie and I are usually pretty smart, but when it comes to situations like this, we just can’t come up with good ideas. Elder Auntie thought of a really good solution!"

"It’s normal for you youngsters not to understand these worldly affairs," Grandma Wang chuckled. "Now that things are settled, you should just rest at home and don’t go anywhere."

"Yes," He Tiantian agreed, realizing this was the best outcome.

The children were delighted to see their mother home. They obediently finished their dinner, played, and listened to stories.

Just after eight o’clock in the evening, someone rang the doorbell.

Xie Wu went to open the door and saw Zhao Huanhuan and Song Chunli. He quickly invited them in.

They were elders from the Huo Family’s old residence. Xie Wu had been by Huo Yingjie’s side for a year and recognized the family’s elders.
