The Sweetness of the Seventies
Chapter 621 - 590

Chapter 621: 590

In her previous life, she had not gotten close to the two elderly individuals, but she still received some help.

In this life, she sincerely treated them well, and then she received their protection, allowing her to live a peaceful life in Qijia Village.

Third Grandma Qi, with a handkerchief in hand, wiped her eyes and said, "Children grow up and must spread their wings and fly. You can leave with peace of mind, and if you have time, you can come to see us, that would be enough. I’m not just saying this to you, I’ve said the same to your father, and to the Qi Family as well. Among family, as long as we hold each other in our hearts, that’s enough. We can’t say that staying is being filial, nor can we say that leaving is unfilial."

"Grandma..." He Tiantian, hearing these words, felt even sadder, but also a little consoled in her heart.

"Alright, you have your own lives to live, and I hope your future gets better and better. Don’t cry anymore," Third Grandma Qi said, "Seeing you cry like this makes me want to cry..."

To Third Grandma Qi, He Tiantian was even more precious than her own granddaughters!

It was then He Jingyu’s turn, with Wang Shuping holding He Doudou to kowtow to Third Grandma Qi, expressing their gratitude once again.

In the evening, Third Grandma Qi personally went down to the secret room to pack two large boxes of things for He Tiantian.

"Tiantian, I promised you before to leave these things for you. Now that you have found your Uncle Qi, I’ll give you half," Third Grandma Qi said. "I keep my word, these are prepared for you, and you are not allowed to refuse."

The words of refusal that He Tiantian had at the tip of her tongue had to be swallowed back down.

"There’s a dedicated train, you can take it back," Third Grandma Qi mentioned, after all, the two boxes were not heavy.

He Tiantian forced a smile and said, "Grandma, let’s keep these items with you for now. Those dedicated trains might look like they don’t inspect, but in reality, they check even more carefully. If I carry these two boxes on board, a lot of people will know. Keep them for me, and when I come to visit you later, you can give them to me then, won’t that be better?"

"Ah?" Third Grandma Qi was startled, "They check too?"

"Yes, they do check," He Tiantian replied, even if she were to take these items, it wouldn’t be now.

"Alright, then I’ll keep them for you, and give them to you when you come back. If you don’t come to see me, then I won’t give them to you," Third Grandma Qi jokingly said. "Let me show you one more time what good things are inside."

After saying that, Third Grandma Qi opened the boxes to show off a little.

He Tiantian chuckled and said, "Okay, for these items, I will definitely come to visit grandma often."

"Haha, that’s right," Third Grandma Qi replied.

They had become so close that they could joke like this without any hard feelings.

Qi Zhengmin and Qi Zhenghan came after He Tiantian and He Jingyu had left. The siblings would stay here for a while to accompany the two elderly individuals.

The days of parting were drawing closer and the mood in the house was somewhat somber.

However, everyone’s sorrow could not stop the passage of time, and finally, the day to leave arrived.

Third Grandma Qi and Old Man Qi stood at the door, watching everyone depart.

In a blink of an eye, only the two old men, the old lady, Qi Zhengmin, and Qi Zhenghan were left in the house.

"Grandmother, let’s go inside. Sister Tiantian and the others have walked far away," Qi Zhengmin comforted her, taking out a handkerchief to wipe her grandmother’s tears.

Third Grandma Qi nodded and said, "Yes, let’s go inside."

When leaving, He Jingyu had arranged for Aunt Liu and Qi Shuming’s wife to take turns coming over to cook, do laundry, and handle the household chores for Third Grandma Qi and Old Man Qi.

As Qi Shuliang was wealthy, he gave them a hundred yuan each month.

A hundred yuan was even more than what some teachers made.

He Tiantian, holding her child, was still unable to let go even after boarding the train, her thoughts lingering on Third Grandma Qi.

This wise old lady who had almost changed He Tiantian’s entire life! From her, she learned openness, strength, and detachment!

As the sound of the train starting echoed, He Tiantian’s eyes streamed with hot tears.

Goodbye, my tragic past life!

Goodbye, my youth!

Everyone knew that He Tiantian had a special affection for this place, so they all refrained from disturbing her.

Huo Yingjie watched over the two children from a short distance away, occasionally glancing over.

This was the best way to deal with it alone.

About half an hour later, He Tiantian had calmed down and looked at the not-so-distant place.

Her husband was with the children, and her parents were watching her with concern...

Fortunately, she still had her family and many precious things. Let the past be the past; she had a new path to take!

He Tiantian glanced at the watch on her wrist. It was time to feed the children.

"Come, let me feed the baby," He Tiantian said as she took her daughter and fed her son first.

It wasn’t a matter of favoring boys over girls, but rather that Huo Ruihua was born a little later and was somewhat weaker.

Huo Yingjie saw that He Tiantian had returned to her previous serenity and vivacity and felt a slight sense of relief.

Life is long, and one encounters many things, but he would be there to face them with her.

Seeing that He Tiantian had recovered, the elders finally were able to joke and laugh.

The carriage was very lively due to the presence of little He Doudou. Wang Shuping had been keeping He Doudou in check earlier so as not to disturb He Tiantian, not letting him run around or talk.

Now, He Doudou ran around the carriage with joy, extremely mischievous.

Huo Zhekun and Jiang Lifang came over from time to time to help manage the children with He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie, giving the young couple a moment to rest.

In the evening, Qi Shuliang, He Jingyu, Huo Zhekun, Huo Yingjie, and Huo Yingjun, five men, sat together discussing the future trends of Huaxia Country.

"Now that significant changes are taking place in Country H, it should happen soon," said Qi Shuliang. "I’ll make some adjustments when I return to Country M, which will also allow us to take advantage of the reforms for further development."

"Yes, many people have realized that reform is imperative," said Huo Zhekun, who was in politics and, through the Huo Family’s special channels, had access to more insider information.

The leader had requested his father’s counsel on future matters more than once, indicating that the upper echelons had reached a consensus.

However, due to the shadow of the past decade, no one dared to loudly proclaim the call for reform.

Still, everyone knew that reform was inevitable, and that was enough.

Huaxia Country would embark on a unique path of characteristic reform because of this decision.

Since it was unprecedented, they could only cross the river by feeling the stones.

"So as we prepare, we must also be more careful and cautious. There are always costs to reform, so we aim to be among those who succeed, not those who fail and become victims," said He Jingyu conservatively. The events hadn’t even started, and he was already preparing for the worst-case scenario.

It wasn’t that he was faint-hearted; their past experiences had made them cautious.
