Chapter 534: Huo Family in Danger, Return Quickly
Chapter 534: The Huo family is in danger, return quickly!
532
Huo Zhekun and Jiang Lifang carefully prepared gifts and prepared to go to Qijia Village to discuss the marriage of their two children with He Jingyu and Wang Shuping.
If possible, they would get married this time.
Seeing that the holiday was approaching, Jiang Lifang counted the gift list every day and attached great importance to it.
However, things in the world cannot keep up with the changes in plans. A telegram came from Yanjing: "The Huo family is in danger, return quickly!"
Five simple words made Huo Zhekun and Jiang Lifang worried and frightened, and they were in a state of panic.
Receiving such a telegram, it can be seen that the Huo family in Yanjing is at a critical moment of life and death.
Everything must be put aside, and the Huo family's difficulties must be overcome first.
"What should I do?" Jiang Lifang wiped her eyes, not knowing what happened in Yanjing, "Our son's marriage will be postponed again."
Huo Zhekun's hands were shaking, and the hand that lit the cigarette could not light the match, so he stopped smoking and threw away the cigarette in his hand.
After a while, Huo Zhekun also slowly said: "This time we can only let Tiantian wait a little longer. After receiving such a telegram, we must hurry to Yanjing. I don't know much about the situation in Beijing. The old man is probably helpless, and the Huo family is already in trouble, so he sent such a telegram."
"Hey!" Jiang Lifang sighed, "Then you should quickly send a telegram to Yingjie and ask him to come back early."
"Yes." Huo Zhekun nodded and sent a telegram to his son, "You pack up at home. After sending the telegram, we will take the earliest train to leave."
"Okay!" Jiang Lifang said. She took the time to write an apology letter to the He family, explaining the situation and asking for their understanding.
The person in charge of the post office was Niu Dajun's colleague before, and he knew something about Qijia Village. After receiving the telegram, he immediately notified Niu Dajun and asked Niu Dajun to help deliver it.
Even though the weather was bad, Niu Dajun didn't care about that when he saw those five words, and rode his bicycle to Qijia Village.
Because the road was slippery, Niu Dajun's bicycle was deflated by one-third to increase the friction between the tire and the ground to prevent him from falling on the slippery ground.
When he arrived at Qijia Village, Niu Dajun did not go to his father-in-law's house, but went directly to Grandma Qi San's house.
After receiving the telegram, He Jingyu's family was dumbfounded.
They were waiting for the Huo family to come to discuss the marriage. Now they didn't come, but they received the Huo family's telegram.
The Huo family was not the kind of family that would exaggerate. After seeing the telegram, He Jingyu said, "Tiantian, you should pack up Yingjie's gifts quickly. If you leave now, you can still take the evening train."
When Huo Yingjie saw the content of the telegram, he secretly counted on his fingers and cursed, "Another idiot!"
"I'm sorry, Uncle He, Aunt Wang, there's something going on at home, and the discussion of the marriage has to be delayed again." Huo Yingjie said with guilt. Their Huo family dragged the He family again and again, which was indeed not authentic.
"We can have the wedding anytime, but the Huo family is in trouble now. As a member of the Huo family, you have to deal with it." He Jingyu said, "Go with peace of mind. When you have dealt with it, we will discuss the wedding."
"Yes, Yingjie, don't worry about this place. We are safe in Qijia Village." Wang Shuping said, "But you must be careful and cautious when you go to Yanjing this time."
"Thank you, Uncle He, Aunt Wang." Huo Yingjie stood up and apologized to his future father-in-law and mother-in-law.
"Okay, don't be so fussy." He Jingyu said, "Let's deal with the Huo family's affairs first."
It was almost 1976.
He Tiantian had packed Huo Yingjie's luggage, and He Jingyu contributed his thick cashmere coat.
He Jingyu and He Tiantian wanted to see Huo Yingjie off, but Huo Yingjie refused.
"Uncle He, Tiantian, I don't have much stuff. I can just ride my bike to the county town by myself. When the bike is left at Dajun's place, I can just get on the train directly." Huo Yingjie said, firmly refusing to let them go.
It was so cold, he could just go there by himself.
If He Tiantian and He Jingyu sent them, they would be frozen twice.
He Tiantian was sad, and the wedding was postponed again.
The word "twists and turns" could not describe the difficulty of their marriage.
He Jingyu thought about it and said, "Okay, I won't go. You and Dajun will take care of us on the way, and we can rest assured."
Wang Shuping saw that her daughter was in a low mood, and hurriedly said, "Tiantian, go and make some hot soup noodles, let Dajun and Yingjie eat something, and warm up before going on the road."
"Oh!" He Tiantian nodded repeatedly and hid in the kitchen.
Huo Yingjie gave everyone an apologetic smile and followed He Tiantian to the kitchen.
He Tiantian wiped her tears with her sleeves while kneading the dough.
She didn't want to cry, but she didn't know why, she couldn't help crying with sore eyes.
Maybe she had too many good days and too many people who loved her, so she became delicate.
"Tiantian, don't cry." Huo Yingjie said, taking out a ring from his pocket, "I wanted to give it to you in two days, but now I'm leaving, I'll give it to you first. Wear my ring and you'll be my wife."
"Who is your wife!" He Tiantian refused to let Huo Yingjie put the ring on her hand, feeling a little resentful.
"Of course it's you." Huo Yingjie said, "I made this for you personally."
Huo Yingjie put the ring on the ring finger of He Tiantian's left hand without saying anything, not caring that there was still some flour on He Tiantian's finger.
"I'm kneading the dough!" He Tiantian looked at the rose-shaped ring. It was different from gold and silver. It was a purple-gold color and looked very beautiful.
He Tiantian took the ring off and put it in her pocket.
"Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as possible." Huo Yingjie said, "Wait for me!"
He Tiantian frowned and said, "I'll wait for you this time. If you break the promise again, I won't wait for you."
He Tiantian was so stubborn because of her inner anxiety and fear.
"Okay, for the last time." Huo Yingjie said, kissing He Tiantian's forehead, "I calculated that the Huo family's luck is not over yet, and there is no danger. Don't worry about me and the Huo family, just wait for me to come back in Qijia Village."
"Okay!" He Tiantian whispered, "Go to the house and see what else you need to bring. I've prepared it here. You and Brother Dajun can leave after you finish eating."
"Yeah." Huo Yingjie nodded and went to his room.
After eating the hot soup noodles and taking a short rest, Huo Yingjie and Niu Dajun rode their bicycles on the road.
He Jingyu and He Tiantian sent them to the village entrance until their figures disappeared in the cold wind.
After this separation, they didn't know what happened to Huo Yingjie in Yanjing, nor how long they would have to wait before they could be reunited.
He Tiantian could only pray in her heart that Huo Yingjie would be safe and come back soon.
