The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 989 - 958: Fair and Impartial, Marriage

After playing for a while, Huo Ruifeng finally forgot about the big fish in the water basin earlier and dropped the little stick he had been holding.

Seeing his son and daughter looking enviously at their younger brother, Huo Yingjie put the child into Tang Qian’s arms and then lifted his daughter high up.

Although the daughter was grown, Huo Yingjie was strong enough to still lift her up easily.

Then it was Huo Ruihua’s turn, who was treated just as equally, making all three children feel cherished.

Tang Qian deeply agreed and decided he would learn from Huo Yingjie in the future.

After breakfast, He Tiantian and Qi Zhengmin were clearing up the vegetables while Qi Xiaoyan, Liang Hongyu, Aunt Liu, and Qi Daniu came over to help.

Preparing three tables of dishes was indeed challenging for just He Tiantian and Qi Zhengmin.

Though they could manage, the two would be exhausted.

Huo Yingjie and Tang Qian were over there taking care of the children, chatting together with Third Grandma Qi and Old Man Qi.

Aunt Liu was in high spirits and said, "Tiantian, Yingjie, it’s the summer holiday. Stay a bit longer. In half a month, it’s Daniu’s wedding day. After celebrating with the wedding wine, then you can leave."

"Oh, is it settled?" Liang Hongyu asked with a smile, "That boy’s family might only have his old father, but he really treats Daniu well. Besides, they both teach at Qi Family Primary School and have settled here in Qijia Village. Later on, bringing his father over here to live would be really nice."

Aunt Liu nodded and said, "Yes, we initially disagreed, but seeing how well the two kids got along, we, as elders, couldn’t bear to break them up. Moreover, the boy is indeed good; his father is also understanding. We are an established family village; it wouldn’t be reasonable to deny their happiness, so we agreed."

He Tiantian, a bit confused, smiled and asked, "Daniu, does your boyfriend really treat you well?"

"Yes, he really does," Qi Daniu smiled and said, "He could have stayed in the city, but he followed me to work at Qi Family Primary School. I am really grateful; his mother passed away early, and he only has his father, who is also a very good man. We’ve been working for a few years now, and we have enough money saved to build a house in Qijia Village, so we’ve decided to get married."

"Congratulations, Daniu," He Tiantian smiled and said. "The children at Qi Family Primary School are about to enter middle school. With so many kids, are they all going to the county’s school?"

"Thank you, Sister Tiantian," Qi Daniu smiled and said, "I am now the head because of my outstanding teaching. The school is currently applying to start a middle school; Uncle Qi has been handling the formalities in the county. When school starts, whoever wishes to enroll can stay at Qi Family Middle School; those who don’t can go to the county’s school."

"I heard before that Qi Family Primary School’s academic performance is very good, even better than the schools in the county. Maybe the middle school will be just as good," He Tiantian smiled and said, "Nothing else, just donating fifty thousand yuan worth of books."

Qi Xiaoyan heard this and said, "Good, I’ll also donate fifty thousand."

Having made money, one shouldn’t just hoard it, but use it to do good deeds and help others, thereby accumulating blessings for oneself.

Qi Zhengmin chuckled and said, "Then I’ll also donate fifty thousand yuan worth of books. By the way, is there enough money for the school construction?"

Qi Daniu laughed upon hearing this, "It’s enough, the village has two factories. Every year, they allocate a portion of the profits to the county, which is then distributed among the villagers. If it’s for building the school, we’ll just hand over less and distribute less to the villagers."

"Well, that’s good," He Tiantian complimented, "Daniu, you’re really impressive. Keep up the good work, and you might become the headmaster of Qijia Village School someday."

Qi Daniu nodded and said, "Yes, yes, that’s my goal. By the way, Sister Tiantian, how long can you stay here? I really hope you can attend my wedding. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be where I am now."

"Sure!" He Tiantian smiled and said, "I’ll definitely attend your wedding. If I had known earlier, I could have prepared a nice gift. Now I can only find a chance to shop around during my free time."

"Sister Tiantian, having you here is what matters, the rest is not important," Qi Daniu said with a smile, feeling very grateful to He Tiantian, grateful for a lifetime.

Listening to Qi Daniu’s words, He Tiantian assessed her thoroughly. Qi Daniu had grown into a qualified teacher and a beautiful young woman, no longer that tempestuous little girl from before.

Meanwhile, Aunt Liu and Liang Hongyu went to clean the fish and meat, while Qi Daniu, Qi Zhengmin, Qi Xiaoyan, and He Tiantian gathered to pick vegetables together.

"Daniu, tell us, what’s been happening in the village lately?" He Tiantian asked with a mischievous smile, looking over at Qi Daniu, eager to hear the village gossip from this ’little loudspeaker’.

Normally, Qi Daniu was busy teaching and maintained a dignified persona so she rarely gossiped in front of others, but she was less restrained in front of He Tiantian. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

"Daniu, tell us, we won’t tell anybody else," Qi Xiaoyan was also curious. The family didn’t share the village affairs with her, and she wasn’t very informed, which didn’t satisfy her curiosity.

Qi Zhengmin didn’t ask, but her eyes betrayed her eagerness as she stared curiously at Qi Daniu.

"Actually, the village is doing okay. With Uncle Qi keeping watch, those with ill-intentions don’t get their way," Qi Daniu smiled. "Everyone is busy making money and living well, so there hasn’t been any serious crime. The biggest incident would be when Accountant Qi’s daughter, Qi Zhenzhen, went to the city with her twin sons and a daughter to find Li Mingkai, but Li Mingkai didn’t want to acknowledge them. However, Qi Zhenzhen caused a stir at Li Mingkai’s workplace and even caused trouble at that woman’s workplace, and she wrote complaint letters frequently. After venting her anger, Qi Zhenzhen returned to the village with her children."

"What happened then?" He Tiantian asked, reflecting on the past when Qi Xiaoyan could only resort to jumping into a river. Compare that to Qi Zhenzhen—what a fierce woman. "If you won’t let me be happy, I won’t let you be happy either!"

Qi Xiaoyan was also paying close attention.

"After that, Li Mingkai was criticized by his workplace. As for that woman, she probably didn’t fare well either. Some time ago, Li Mingkai came hoping that Qi Zhenzhen would come to his workplace to explain that it was just a simple marital spat and that there wasn’t any inappropriate relationship. But Qi Zhenzhen didn’t believe him anymore and chased him away with a broom. No chance of divorce, she kept Li Mingkai hanging. Whenever she had free time, she’d create a scene; otherwise, she’d write complaint letters, and Li Mingkai left humiliated," Qi Daniu whispered, "Although Qi Zhenzhen isn’t the best person, being this strong as a woman is commendable."

"Yes!" He Tiantian admired, "For her children and family, picking up a broom to chase away the unfaithful man—the right thing done by Qi Zhenzhen. It’s better to be alone than to be with such a man!"

"Later, Li Mingkai came with his family, hoping to take Qi Zhenzhen and her three children away. In the past, Accountant Qi wouldn’t have stopped him, but knowing Li Mingkai was unreliable, if he took them away, with such distance, he couldn’t protect his daughter and grandchildren. He directly rebuked him, saying Li Mingkai was their in-law and that his grandchildren belong to the Old Qi family, not the Li surname, even if they got divorced," Qi Daniu explained. "That time, it caused a huge disturbance!"
