The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 954 - 922 Mutual Praise

Fortunately, the welfare has caught up.

"By the way, a big courtyard has been built in Nan City. When we move in, we will also have bodyguards and maids, so you won’t have to work so hard. At the same time, we can apply for a non-stop express train that goes directly to Yanjing. It’s fast and convenient for round trips," Huo Zhekun said, hoping that these conveniences would make his wife feel more comfortable.

"That’s great," Jiang Lifang said with a smile, "I’ll be able to enjoy that too in the future."

"I just want you to be well, supporting and looking after each other, walking together till we grow old," Huo Zhekun said, taking his wife’s hand.

"Okay!" Jiang Lifang laughed, they have managed to be a couple for life.

Huo Zhekun was never like those men who, being in high positions, would behave recklessly.

He was kind to her and her family, loved their children, loved her more, and supported her work. That was enough.

For a woman, receiving these things in a lifetime was already plenty.

Huo Zhekun and Jiang Lifang were about to leave when Bai Qiongyu arrived with He Jingyu, Wang Shuping, and He Doudou.

They decided to stay for two more days to spend time with their relatives.

"Shuping, it must be the climate outside that’s nourishing. How do I feel like you look even younger than before?" Jiang Lifang looked at Wang Shuping enviously. She was two years older than Shuping, but she appeared to be several years older.

Wang Shuping smiled and said, "It’s not really the climate there; rather, there are quite a few beauty salons. My mother-in-law and I went a few times, and it felt pretty good. Usually, I don’t work, just stay at home with the children and tend to the greenhouse flower shed."

"My, you really are living a life of bliss," Jiang Lifang said, very envious.

"If you want to relax, you can too, but you just love being a doctor," Wang Shuping said with a smile. "And you’re very responsible, which inevitably makes it hard. You’ll need to take good care in the future."

"I will," Jiang Lifang chuckled. "I’m about to retire, and even if I get rehired, it will be more relaxed than now. But you’re right, I do love being a doctor, and I’m not used to idleness."

"In the blink of an eye, we haven’t seen each other for two years," Jiang Lifang said. "Every time I see the letters and photos you send me, I really envy you. But, I guess I don’t have a chance to go out and see it for myself in this lifetime."

"Heh, actually the scenery in our country is quite beautiful too," Wang Shuping said. "It’s just that you don’t have long holidays, so you don’t know about the scenic spots around you."

"Right," Jiang Lifang agreed. "Especially after getting older, I feel even less inclined to move around."

Wang Shuping laughed and said, "Yes, once I’m back, I don’t want to leave. But I can’t let go of things back there either. It’s good that Yingjie is a decent person; we can rest assured about Tiantian and the other children."

"If anyone should be at ease, it should be us," Jiang Lifang laughed. "Ever since Tiantian married into our family, Old Huo and I haven’t worried a single bit. Tiantian and Yingjie, the young couple, handle everything so perfectly. Now that they’re expecting their third child, Old Huo and I are even happier."

"When I received the letter, I was also surprised and thought it was unbelievable. They had always decided against having children before, and I thought after having two, they wouldn’t want any more." Wang Shuping said, "I usually read some Chinese newspapers and saw some national policies that had just been introduced, right in line with the family planning. Turns out to be true, thankfully you handled everything well, or it would have been a lot of trouble."

"Hehe, now that it’s happened, we definitely have to keep it," said Jiang Lifang. "I heard that at first, Yingjie and Tiantian even ran to the Taoist temple to hide, which made me laugh. Luckily, my sister-in-law stepped in and sorted everything out. Now that I think about it, I haven’t been a good mother-in-law. If I had been there for Tiantian, my sister-in-law wouldn’t have been troubled."

Wang Shuping understood Jiang Lifang, so she didn’t think Jiang Lifang was at fault. After all, one couldn’t simply abandon one’s husband and leave Huo Zhekun alone in Nan City.

Huo Zhekun was good-looking and kept himself in good shape; now, he was at an age where he was mature and carried himself with an extraordinary presence. It would be really irritating if he got involved in some amorous affairs.

"Hehe, with Aunt Wang by Tiantian’s side, now she has bodyguards, a nanny, and someone to do the housework; she doesn’t need to busy herself," Wang Shuping said. "You just need to take good care of Big Brother Huo, especially now that he holds a high position of power. It wouldn’t be good if he had a romantic affair one day."

"Haha," Jiang Lifang laughed. "Right, I’ll have to keep a close eye. Your Jingyu too, you know, dressed in a suit and tie, he looks dapper and standing next to Yingjie, he doesn’t look his age either."

With her hand over her mouth, Wang Shuping laughed and said, "You’re not wrong; there are indeed those Western women who try to seduce Jingyu. Luckily, with the mother-in-law nearby, those women haven’t succeeded."

"Oh my, Jingyu didn’t avoid them?" Jiang Lifang exclaimed in surprise. "You weren’t angry?"

"He did, but he just couldn’t avoid them completely," Wang Shuping laughed. "Drunk, he stumbled out, clutching his pants, and just happened to be seen by my mother-in-law’s bodyguard, who saved him. Afterwards, all of Jingyu’s secretaries and assistants were replaced with men."

"Haha!" Jiang Lifang laughed. "Fortunately, Jingyu is upright. If it were those with less self-control, they would have gotten into trouble long ago."

"Yes," Wang Shuping agreed. "Fortunately, we have children. Dou Dou is learning foreign things on a daily basis, but Jingyu doesn’t want his son to be completely ignorant of Huaxia Country’s culture. So, aside from being busy with work, he also spends time teaching the child, leaving him no spare time."

"That’s good," Jiang Lifang smiled. "Can’t let him have too much free time; keeping busy will prevent trouble. By the way, how long are you staying in the country this time?"

"Probably three weeks," said Wang Shuping. "After all, we haven’t been back in two years; we can’t just stay a few days and leave. I want to spend more time with Tiantian, Ruihua, and Ruimin. It’s just a pity that you are leaving tomorrow."

"We’ve also been here for two weeks," Jiang Lifang said. "There’re neither festivals nor holidays, and we have work to return to. It’s also fortunate that I have hired so many reliable people at home; I can leave with peace of mind. Since you’re not often in Yanjing, let Yingjie take you around Yanjing for a good trip."

"Sure, we will," Wang Shuping smiled, continuing to chat with Jiang Lifang about funny things they encountered abroad.

On the other side, Huo Zhekun, He Jingyu, and Huo Yingjie were also talking, but He Jingyu mostly discussed the foreign situation and future development trends, while Huo Zhekun talked about the domestic situation and investment environment and projects.

Huo Yingjie was also able to contribute and express his own opinions, often enlightening He Jingyu and Huo Zhekun, giving them insights and assistance.

As the junior, Huo Yingjie also took on the role of serving tea and water, personally attending to his father and father-in-law.
