Chapter 123: Chapter 086 Rewards

"Tiantian, when are you coming back to China?"

Liu Xiuzhi held a clunky flip phone, surrounded by neighbors full of envy, but she was already used to it.

She didn’t care about their jealous looks and shouted into the phone, "Didn’t you graduate already? Why haven’t you come back?"

Who knows what He Tiantian said on the other end, but Liu Xiuzhi burst out laughing, "Okay, okay, Mom’s waiting!"

Liu Xiuzhi again reminded her on the phone to take care of her health and to come back to China sooner—it had been more than a year since she last saw her daughter.

But what worried her more was the cost of the phone call—it’s an international call, charges apply both ways... Although Liu Xiuzhi had money, she reluctantly hung up the phone.

"So? Tiantian hasn’t come back yet?"

After Liu Xiuzhi hung up, amidst envying glares, she gingerly hung the phone around her neck and asked with feigned concern.

"Oh dear, Tiantian said she won’t come back for now. She’s going to spend some time at some local sports therapy and rehabilitation center, to learn more!"

The past ten or so years have definitely been the most glorious and comfortable days of Liu Xiuzhi’s life.

Her daughter had big accomplishments, bringing home a pile of gold medals.

The whole nation knew of He Tiantian, the archer with dominant results and a pretty face.

That year during the Olympic athletes’ collective appearance on the New Year’s Gala, her Tiantian received the most screen time.

Afterwards, He Tiantian started her career, and without Liu Xiuzhi even asking, her daughter had arranged positions for her two brothers.

Respectable leaders, no need to clock in, yet they drew high salaries.

Tsk tsk, mention He Family or He Tiantian within ten miles, and there wasn’t a soul who wouldn’t give a thumbs up.

As for Liu Xiuzhi and He Jianguo, waiting to enjoy their blessings, they were the envy of countless people.

The elderly couple were not even sixty yet, and already doing nothing.

Their daughter was an internationally renowned athlete, constantly flying here and there—you had to turn on the television just to catch a glimpse of her.

But precisely because they had such a wonderful daughter like He Tiantian, Liu Xiuzhi and her husband never lacked money.

Their two sons had also left the village for big cities to become "executives."

Even the grandchildren were moved to the Provincial City for schooling in bilingual kindergartens, spending loads of money each year with the prospect of studying abroad when they grew up.

Old He’s family had thoroughly transformed their household.

It was also said that He Tiantian was especially filial—although her parents were reluctant to leave their hometown and move to the city, she bought a large villa there for the elderly couple.

Oh right, the He’s farmhouse back home had long been reconstructed too—a three-story building, grand and stylish, absolutely the top household in He Family Village.

What made the neighbors even more envious was that such a well-to-do family like the He’s, with Liu Xiuzhi and He Jianguo not too old, actually had a housekeeper.

"... It’s just a change in times, if this was the past, Old He’s family would definitely be criticized!"

"Liu Xiuzhi, that shrew, really has good fortune, raising such a great daughter, and now she can even be served like a rich lady on TV."

"Being wealthy makes a difference, huh? Liu Xiuzhi used to look even older than me, but look at her now, that dark skin of hers has even turned fair, she really does look a bit like a wealthy old lady!"

"It’s all because of having a good daughter... But, that’s also because He Tiantian isn’t married yet. Wait until she gets married, hmph!"

Some of the older folks in He Family Village, out of jealousy, couldn’t help but murmur sourly behind closed doors.

Liu Xiuzhi simply didn’t care about these gossips.

Because she knew, even if her daughter got married and belonged to another family, she wouldn’t neglect her own family.

However, those people did touch a nerve in Liu Xiuzhi’s heart: Tiantian was almost twenty-eight and still not married!

In their rural area, at such an age, one could already be a mother to three kids.

Of course, as a Grand Slam, internationally known athlete, it wouldn’t seem too bizarre for He Tiantian to not be married at twenty-eight.

But as her real mother, Liu Xiuzhi still hoped her daughter would marry and start a family soon, to lead a happy life.

"Mom, I have a boyfriend, just haven’t gotten married yet!"

Across the Pacific Ocean, He Tiantian, studying overseas, was also at a loss for words upon receiving a marriage-pushing call from her real mother.

Her statement "I have a boyfriend" wasn’t just to placate her real mother.

Ever since she won her first Olympic gold medal, there was always this shy boy in the stands, desperately taking photos of her with his camera.
