The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 1207 - 1176 Welcome Ceremony
Chapter 1207: Chapter 1176 Welcome Ceremony
The beauty is lovely, the night long!
The next morning when He Tiantian woke up, Huo Yingjie was already gone.
He Tiantian really thought it was a dream!
It was the weekend, and the kids were revising their lessons for the final exams starting Monday.
On He Tiantian’s side, Huo Yingjie had already asked Cui Ying to request leave for her.
When He Tiantian saw the small alarm clock beside the bed, she became even more anxious.
"Oh my gosh, it’s already half-past ten." He Tiantian hurriedly got up.
Opening the curtains, through the window, He Tiantian saw that tall figure outside.
Only then did He Tiantian fully wake up, realizing it wasn’t a dream after all.
Seeing He Tiantian awake, Huo Yingjie turned and entered the room.
"What’s wrong?" Huo Yingjie asked, "Are you hungry?"
He Tiantian felt a bit embarrassed and replied, "I’m not hungry."
"Hehe!" Huo Yingjie chuckled, "About last night..."
"I’m hungry now. You go prepare something for me to eat. I’ll change clothes first." Saying that, He Tiantian quickly pushed Huo Yingjie out, not wanting to show her disheveled appearance under his gaze.
Seeing the door closed tightly, Huo Yingjie laughed, "Ha ha," and turned to leave.
Clearly, his little wife was embarrassed.
When He Tiantian finished freshening up and came out, she saw a few more people in the yard.
It turned out her father-in-law and mother-in-law had returned, accompanied by several security guards.
"Sorry dad, mom, I didn’t go to pick you up." He Tiantian went forward, smiling. Now that she was going to be living with her in-laws, it had its advantages and disadvantages.
However, as they were family, He Tiantian was willing to tolerate the shortcomings and appreciate the good.
When Jiang Lifang saw He Tiantian come out, she knew He Tiantian had just gotten up.
"Hehe, we know our way around, and can find our own home," said Jiang Lifang. "By the way, where are the kids?"
Huo Zhekun was all smiles, also wondering why he hadn’t seen the kids.
Just then, Huo Ruimin, holding a plastic flower ball made in his crafts class, ran out with his little brother and sister. They lined up with Little Rotating Turtle and raised their flower balls, saying, "Welcome, welcome, a warm welcome!"
Huo Ruihua felt it was embarrassing holding the flower ball, so he made a big sign, on which he wrote with a brush: "Welcome grandfather, grandmother back home!"
Behind them, Huo Xiaosan was blowing a small trumpet, "Wu wa, wu wa..."
The noise was loud and gave people a headache!
Seeing their playful grandchildren, Jiang Lifang and Huo Zhekun burst into hearty laughter.
"All good kids," laughed Jiang Lifang, "Come here, grandma brought gifts for you! The four of you come pick them out."
"Thank you, grandpa and grandma." As soon as they heard about the gifts, they immediately stopped the welcoming ceremony and followed their grandmother inside.
Once the kids left, the living room became quiet.
Huo Zhekun smiled and said to He Tiantian, "The children are very thoughtful, all thanks to you."
"Hehe, the kids started discussing how to welcome you as soon as they heard the exact date of grandpa and grandma’s return. They even secretly rehearsed without letting me see," He Tiantian smiled, "I didn’t know about it before, didn’t expect it to be so fun."
Lu Wanxia came over and said that lunch would be ready in twenty minutes and asked He Tiantian and the others to prepare for lunch.
"Dad, you and mom rest for a bit, have lunch, and then take a nap at home before heading to grandfather’s place," Huo Yingjie said, "Grandfather already told me personally when he dined here yesterday that you should visit him today."
"Alright, that sounds good," Huo Zhekun agreed, "I guess it’s because your great uncle is going to Beihu Province the day after tomorrow, and he wants everyone to meet before he leaves, to have a talk."
"Yes, that’s what grandfather meant," said Huo Yingjie, "Great uncle is also hoping that Tiantian you would invest!"
He Tiantian smiled and shared, "Ever since I heard some hints from grandfather’s side before the New Year, I had people start scouting. Brother Dajun mentioned that we could set up a branch at Sanfeng Bridge, and after calculations, we decided to invest fifty million; Wu Youliang, on his part, is also interested and can also invest fifty million; and Jiang Wenwen’s garment factory could also move there, investing twenty million. These are all labor-intensive industries which can not only increase employment but also boost related industries’ growth."
Huo Zhekun nodded and said, "Indeed, that’s good. Having these three enterprises could also bring considerable political achievements."
"This is what we’ve discussed on our side, and Zhengmin said he wants to build Fuxi Automobile’s central sales center there," He Tiantian added, "Tang Qian is considering building an ancient film and television city in the future."
Huo Zhekun’s eyes lit up, "The film and television city is something to consider carefully."
"Hmm, it’s just a consideration now," He Tiantian smiled, "It’s not certain yet! But if the domestic cultural policies are right, building a film and television city could be possible."
Huo Zhekun nodded, "Yes, this could become a new direction. Nowadays, emerging industries like computing and entertainment have great potential."
As Huo Zhekun oversees economics, he has more insights into economic matters.
After lunch, Jiang Lifang and Huo Zhekun washed up for a nap.
At three in the afternoon, the whole family got ready and proceeded grandly towards the Huo Family Old Mansion.
Old Master Huo was taking a walk outside today, often passing by a small path not far from the gate, hoping to see his younger son sooner.
Old Master Tang saw Old Master Huo frequently looking towards the gate and said, "Is your second son back?"
"Hehe, yes, Zhekun has been working away from home ever since he started working, and in a blink, it has been thirty years," Old Master Huo said with a sigh, quite emotional.
"It’s also forced by the circumstances," Old Master Tang said, "These years, it’s your children’s achievements that have made it so. This time the second son comes back as the eldest goes out, it’s also forced by the situation, but anyhow, your family is prospering."
Hearing this, Old Master Huo was very pleased and said, "Hehe, I hope so! Your son and daughter are doing well too!"
