The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 1205 - 1174: Shy, Grateful

This is indeed a good idea, but there’s one concern—won’t it interfere with Huo Xiaosan’s studies?

"He really likes soccer," He Tiantian said. "It’s just that there aren’t any good soccer schools around here. If he’s sent to a soccer school, it might affect his academic performance. If he can’t become a soccer star and his grades are poor, he won’t have any means to make a living in the future!"

"We have so much wealth, are you still worried about the kid’s future?" Huo Yingjie curiously asked, at the very least Huo Xiaosan won’t have to worry about food and clothing in this lifetime.

"External wealth, no matter how much we give him, there is always a time when it will run out. If he doesn’t turn out well and squanders all the family fortune, having a skill will allow him to survive," He Tiantian didn’t believe that having money and property meant that everything was secure. freewebnσvel.cѳm

"Mhm, you make a good point!" Huo Yingjie responded, "He could go to school in the morning and practice soccer in the afternoon. Don’t worry, I’ll make arrangements. If he really likes soccer, he’ll definitely study well to be able to play."

"That brat has been bargaining since he was little," He Tiantian expressed helplessly, "Anyway, I’ll leave it to you. You better discipline your naughty son."

"Mhm mhm," Huo Yingjie nodded, "Now that I’m back, I won’t let you worry and toil anymore."

The car arrived at the school entrance, He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie got out and waited at the door.

Huo Ruihua, leading his little brother, and Huo Ruimin, guiding his sister, came out from the school and looked around to see who had come to pick them up today.

Upon seeing, Huo Ruimin exclaimed happily, "Dad, Mom, look—Dad’s come home!"

Following Huo Ruimin’s pointing, everyone saw He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie.

Little Rotating Turtle was also very excited but a bit shy, unsure of whether her owner would find her awkward now.

Huo Ruihua and Huo Xiaosan were also very excited, running over joyfully.

However, upon reaching their dad, Huo Xiaosan pouted, "Dad, you said you’d give me a birthday gift. It’s been so long; you must have forgotten."

"I haven’t forgotten!" Huo Yingjie smiled, "Dad was on a business trip, and I couldn’t come back until the task was completed. Now that I’m back, I’ve brought gifts for everyone."

"Is mine a soccer ball?" Huo Xiaosan asked, a single question confirming to Huo Yingjie that Huo Xiaosan still loved soccer, very much so.

"Yes," Huo Yingjie patted his younger son’s head, "You have your soccer ball."

Though Huo Ruihua didn’t speak, he looked at his father expectantly.

"Your bullet sailboat; I brought it back too," Huo Yingjie said. Zhou Yuanchao had helped him get it, and Xie Wu had just fetched it from his office today.

Seeing his father remembered, Huo Ruihua nodded and said, "Thank you, Dad."

"What about mine?" Huo Ruimin looked at her father with starry eyes, hoping for an unexpected gift.

Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "You have one too, but I can’t tell you now. Wait until we get home, and I’ll give it to you."

"Ah?" Huo Ruimin grew even more excited, really wanting to know.

Then Huo Yingjie crouched down and hugged Little Rotating Turtle, "This is our little daughter Xuanxuan, right?"

Being held like this by her owner, Little Rotating Turtle felt a touch shy and reserved.

"Mhm mhm," Little Rotating Turtle nodded, not daring to look into Huo Yingjie’s eyes.

Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "Alright, don’t think too much about the past. From now on, we’re all family. I will treat everyone equally and love you as well."

Hearing these words, Little Rotating Turtle’s eyes turned red, and she cried in Huo Yingjie’s embrace.

In the past, Little Rotating Turtle was bullied by other spirits and her own kind; it was Huo Yingjie who saved her, gave her a stone body, and taught her to cultivate, transforming into human form to enjoy the bustle of the mortal world.

In the heart of Little Rotating Turtle, Huo Yingjie was her master, her teacher, and now he had become her dad.

What a wonderful change.

Little Rotating Turtle had never dreamed something so beautiful could happen to her.

Indeed, good people are rewarded; having blessed the local people as the River Guardian Beast Statue for tens of thousands of years, she had accumulated good fortune, and that led to her current happiness.

"Alright, no more crying. Let’s go home. We’ll open presents together and have a feast," Huo Yingjie said with a smile, leading the child to the car.

Huo Ruihua and Huo Ruimin were very happy to see their dad accept Xiao Xuanxuan.

Although Xiao Xuanxuan was adopted, they always felt she was very dear to them, as if they had known her before.

The children really liked Xiao Xuanxuan, and that helped her quickly integrate into the family.

The whole family got into the car, with Xie Wu driving very smoothly, and they arrived home.

As soon as they entered the house, they saw Old Master Huo, Old Madam Huo, and the Huo Zhekun couple, and Huo Yingjie had brought Xiao Jian as well.

Upon seeing the elders, Huo Yingjie hurried forward and said, "Grandfather, Grandmother, Grandma Wang, Uncle, Aunt, Yingqi, Xiao Jian, hello everyone, thank you for coming to welcome me back."

"Heh heh, it’s a great occasion, of course we should get together," Song Chunli said. "Xiao Jian, do you think your uncle is amazing?"

Xiao Jian proudly said, "Uncle is amazing, but auntie is even more amazing, she’s a world champion."

To Xiao Jian, the positions of scientist and military industry expert were very distant, he only knew they were impressive but not exactly how impressive, yet He Tiantian being a world champion was different, that was Xiao Jian’s goal.

He also aspired to be a swimming athlete and become a world champion.

Listening to him, He Tiantian laughed and said, "Xiao Jian is also quite amazing. I met your coach the other day, and he said you’re progressing very fast and have great talent so you should keep pushing hard, eat well, and grow taller."

Xu Jian, but now he has renamed himself Huo Jian.

Huo Jian excitedly nodded again and again: "Auntie, I will work hard. I’m going to participate in the junior group competition this October, and I want Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, and Aunt to come watch my competition."

"I’ll be there in person with your brothers and sisters to cheer you on," He Tiantian said with a smile, giving Huo Jian a thumbs up.

Huo Yingqi was very grateful to He Tiantian; because of her disability that made it difficult for her to go out, and Zhao Huanhuan was not in Yanjing, while Song Chunli was getting on in years, so it was He Tiantian who helped manage Huo Jian’s swimming.

With He Tiantian as a role model, Xiao Jian was very happy and made strenuous efforts to not worry her.

"Alright," Huo Jian nodded, "I will work hard."

Song Chunli, helping with the hosting, said, "Tiantian, you should also rest for a while. You must be tired from training all day. Hold on, we’ll be eating soon."

Old Master Huo looked at his eldest son and then at his grandson, smiled and said, "Let’s go to the study and talk."

"Yes, Grandfather, Uncle," Huo Yingjie replied.

Huo Yingjie led them to the study.

The security personnel carefully checked the study for anything unusual before closing the door and leaving.

Old Master Huo sat on the rosewood chair and asked with a chuckle, "Was the trip generally smooth?"

"Yes, quite smooth," Huo Yingjie replied, "and I even gained some merit. But there’s a lot to deal with now, so the recognition and awards will probably have to wait. I haven’t had a break for such a long time, I will take a good rest at home."
