The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 1212 -s 1179-1180 Mutual Benefits_2

Every time Huo Yingjie speaks with profound implications, it can always turn the tide for the Huo Family and even profit from it, so he must take it seriously.

At the same time, these few years might be his last years in office, and he must be cautious to retire with his achievements intact and his reputation unblemished.

He Tiantian, because her mother-in-law has arrived, feels much more relaxed with Grandma Wang there to help take care of the children, allowing her to devote herself wholeheartedly to training.

In parallel, Jiang Lifang, following Song Chunli to various tea parties and social gatherings, has finally come to recognize and get a sense of the various families in Yanjing.

"Second sister-in-law, our Huo Family now does not need to fawn over others, but we should not be overbearing either. After all, the wheel of fortune turns; who knows what the future holds?" Song Chunli said, "Just be amiable. If you encounter any inconvenient topics, just sidestep them. Everyone is smart, and they won’t persist on the issue. As for those who don’t understand social cues, you don’t need to bother with them..."

Song Chunli told Jiang Lifang many secrets of the families, along with lessons on social interactions within Yanjing’s upper echelons.

Jiang Lifang took diligent notes, specially preparing a notebook to reinforce her memory.

In the end, Song Chunli took out a booklet and said, "Lifang, this booklet contains many things I remember from over the years. Take it and have a look. It has detailed records of the various family grudges. Once you read it, you’ll know how to deal with them if you encounter someone bearing a grudge."

Jiang Lifang was delighted and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law, I will look over it carefully, transcribe it, and then return it to you."

"There’s no hurry, as I’ve got it all in my head," said Song Chunli. "Once you’re finished, just send it back to the old house. If there’s anything unclear, go and ask my mother-in-law."

"Okay, I got it, sister-in-law," Jiang Lifang smiled. "By the way, sister-in-law, when are you going to Nanhu Province?"

Song Chunli gave a wry smile and said, "Ah, I had wanted to teach you more, but your elder brother called yesterday and I could tell by his voice that he has caught a cold. I also asked the nanny, and it seems he’s having some diarrhea, perhaps due to acclimatization problems. I’m thinking of going over sooner to take care of your elder brother. After all, he’s getting on in years and doesn’t have the same resistance as young people."

Jiang Lifang nodded and said, "Mm-hmm, your elder brother’s health is the most important. Sister-in-law, you’d better go sooner. By the way, we have some medicinal pills at home that can treat acclimatization problems. When you leave later, I’ll give you two bottles."

"Really, they can treat acclimatization?" Song Chunli got excited. Acclimatization, that is, adapting to a new environment, causes discomfort due to the body’s inability to adjust.

"Yes," said Jiang Lifang. "They are very useful. An old colleague of mine who’s a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for decades made them. Even if you’re not suffering from acclimatization, it could still benefit your body, help with digestion, and make you feel light and comfortable."

"Then, bring me two bottles later," Song Chunli said. "I will try them, and if they are effective, I will ask you for more."

"Sure," Jiang Lifang said. "If there’s something good, I will share more with you in the future."

"Right, you are a famous domestic expert doctor, will you still work?" Song Chunli asked. "If you want to work, I can help you connect with a hospital."

"I’ve retired too and don’t want to work for now, I need a rest for a year or so. After Tiantian’s competition and the children’s summer vacation end, then we’ll see," Jiang Lifang said. "Anyway, I have to be there for them until after Tiantian’s competition is over."

"That makes sense," Song Chunli nodded. "Ah, I’m leaving this time just when Ruixiang is busy with his studies. Second sister-in-law, you must help guide Ruixiang well."

"Of course," Jiang Lifang smiled. "Sister-in-law, rest assured. Ruixiang has grown up and is sensible. Now that Yingjie is back, he spends every weekend playing, reading with Ruixiang and the other children."

"That’s good," said Song Chunli. "Originally, I wanted to take Ruixiang with me, but my father-in-law and mother-in-law didn’t agree. They don’t want to change Ruixiang’s learning environment, so I have to leave him behind."

"It’s all our own progeny; of course, we will try our best," Jiang Lifang said. "Not to mention Ruixiang, even Xiao Jian and Xuanxuan, since they’re our younger generation, we’ll take good care of them."

Song Chunli had hesitated to bring up Huo Yingqi’s situation, but now that Lifang had spoken about it herself, it was comforting to her: "Second sister-in-law, what I’m actually most worried about leaving behind is Yingqi. Although she can now stand and walk after rehabilitation, she still needs a lot of training. Yingqi has nurses taking care of her, which puts me at ease, but Xiao Jian’s schooling and swimming lessons will still fall on you and Tiantian. I feel embarrassed to say it, it’s such a trouble for you."

"It’s no trouble at all," Jiang Lifang said. "I’ve seen Yingqi grow up, and although she has made mistakes in the past, she knows better now. As long as she can recover well, we can be at ease. And Xiao Jian, he’s an even better child. Tiantian has treated an orphan so well, so naturally, she won’t treat Xiao Jian badly. You should understand this, sister-in-law."

"Mm-hmm, I still have to thank you. If I can, I’ll visit often," said Song Chunli with a smile, repeatedly expressing her gratitude to Jiang Lifang. freeweɓnovel.cøm

Huo Yingjie came back from work only to see his aunt and mother praising and thanking each other, which left him somewhat speechless.

"Alright, you don’t have to be so polite all the time. Just listening makes my teeth hurt," Huo Yingjie said. "Aunt, you go take care of uncle with peace of mind. We’ll feel at ease if you do. As for the family, we have grandfather, grandmother, my parents, and Tiantian and me. We assure you the children will be well taken care of."

"Mm-hmm, I’m at ease," said Song Chunli. "You are all good children. Oh, your elder brother will bring your sister-in-law back for the Christmas holiday, and then we’ll come back to gather together."

"Sure," said Huo Yingjie. These past years, his elder brother has, under the pretense of work, acquired many good things for the country, achieving the previously set plans.

Afterwards, Song Chunli had lunch in Maoer Alley before leaving, preparing to fly to Nanhu Province tomorrow to meet up with the old man.

It’s the idea of "old husband and wife companionship"; when the children are grown and settled, the only companion left is your spouse.
