Chapter 784: Chapter 784: Picking up Father He and Second Brother to the Capital 3_1

"Dad, I’ll work hard to make money and share the family burden in the future!" He Dongxue was deeply moved. Over the years, she was well aware of the kind things He Zhilan had done for her. No matter how busy she was, Zhilan would always spare a day to visit her every month. She brought food, clothes, and other necessities, fearing that Dongxue might feel aggrieved alone at school.

"I’ll also be really good to my sister-in-law in the future!" Dongxue sniffled and mumbled.

Zhilan burst into laughter, and gave Dongxue a playful tap on her head, "Am I that old, needing you to be good to me?"

"Your sister-in-law is only a few months older than you, does she need you to be good to her?" Mr. He also couldn’t help laughing. "My only hope is to see our family prospering and you siblings having a great relationship. This would be enough to satisfy me."

Dongxue stuck out her tongue and chuckled, lovingly leaning her head on Zhilan’s shoulder. "I’ve said something wrong!" In her mind, Dongxue corrected herself. How could Zhilan be a few months older than her? Clearly, she was a few months younger.

When Zhilan first came to He Family, she wouldn’t speak about her past, only mentioning that she was six years old and her name was Zhilan. Thus, Mr. He decided to consider the day she arrived as her birthday. So, everyone presumed Zhilan was a few months older than Dongxue when actually, Dongxue was born in Autumn, and Zhilan in deep winter. All these were facts Dongxue learned from Lin Chan.

Once Mr. He gave his approval, the He Family began preparations to journey to the capital. Zhilan had asked Muhe to inquire about prosthetic fittings and stuff. Knowing that a round trip to the capital would take at least a month or two, Zhilan had prepared a lot of necessities in the capital.

Accommodation, clothes for Mr. He and He Da, and other daily necessities were all arranged. Thus, for this trip to the capital, Zhilan only asked Mr. He and He Da to carry essentials. Other items, that could be bought in the capital, would be procured there due to the long journey.

The day before the trip to the capital, they visited the Liang Family in town. Zhilan had brought a lot of items from the capital for all family members, from aunts and uncles to Liang Jing, including Liang Jing’s grandparents. The next morning, they boarded the train to the capital.

However, none among them were aware that they had narrowly missed a troublesome encounter by leaving just in time. Shortly after they left by train, Dongxue’s second aunt came to the He Family’s home, then directly pursued them to Liang’s house. Only when she found out that they had gone to the capital, she left, looking dejected.

He Teng had already made arrangements at the military camp. Calculating the time, he left the camp by car and went to the train station early to wait for his family. After around an hour, he saw Zhilan leading their father, and their younger brother and sister out of the station.

"Dad, He Da." He Teng was a man of few words, so even though he was happy to see his family whom he hadn’t seen in a long time, he simply shouted out to them but did not say much else.

"What a blockhead you are! You don’t even ask if Dad and He Da are tired from the train ride!" Zhilan teased He Teng, then confidently found the car He Teng had brought from the camp. She put everyone’s luggage in the car and beckoned her family to get in.

"Who could’ve thought that I, He Zhongguo, would get to ride in a car with four wheels at this age~" He Zhongguo couldn’t hide his excitement. Although the car didn’t belong to He Teng, He Teng had brought it to pick them up. He Zhongguo was thinking that the military camp must value and trust He Teng a lot if they allowed him to drive this car.
