Chapter 715: Chapter 684: Another Attempt, Peach_1

Qi Zhenghan got up and went for a walk in the garden.

This had become his obsession.

Over the past few years, he had dated girlfriends seriously, but soon after, He Tiantian’s image would flash through his mind.

And then there would be no excitement of romance, no sweetness of love.

Perhaps, he should try again.

Maybe it would work this time!

After this visit, Qi Zhenghan focused more on domestic matters, preparing to return home.

Initially, his father wanted to set up the car factory in Huai City, but Qi Zhenghan listed many reasons and persuaded his father to finally choose Nan City.

In Nan City, he would be closer to her.

At the same time, Nan City’s policies, economy, and technology were all better than Huai City’s.

Bai Qiongyu also agreed to the collaboration proposed by Qi Shuliang. Both families invested together to set up a factory in Nan City.

Although Bai Qiongyu did not have a car company, she provided several key parts such as engines for car companies, and these industries were in Country F. These technologies were not allowed to be transferred abroad, so they had to cooperate in a roundabout way.

However, despite the complications, it went smoothly.

He Tiantian was unaware of these foreign affairs but was very happy that her mother had sent her the latest autumn fashion of the season.

Her mother had a good eye, and the clothes were beautiful, combining elegance with suitability for domestic wear.

Qi Xiaoyan was very envious and said, "Sister Tiantian, I want to shamelessly ask you for a piece of clothing, please have pity on me and bestow one upon me?"

With He Tiantian, Qi Xiaoyan did not stand on ceremony, acting pitiful and brazenly asking directly.

He Tiantian smiled and said, "All the clothes are over there; as long as you can wear them, feel free to take whatever you like."

"That’s what you said." Qi Xiaoyan turned into a starving wolf, eagerly pouncing towards He Tiantian’s wardrobe.

Qi Xiaoyan gestured and thought it looked about right, believing she could wear it.

However, even if she managed to get it on, she could not pull up the zipper or fasten the buttons.

In the end, Qi Xiaoyan held in her hands a silk nightgown and said, "Sister Tiantian, this is the only piece of clothing I can wear."

"Haha!" He Tiantian laughed heartily, "Alright, I’ll give you this silk nightgown. The purple color will complement your skin."

"Okay." Qi Xiaoyan said plaintively, "It seems I have to lose weight when I get back. I won’t listen to Niu Dajun’s nonsense anymore. By the way, for Teacher’s Day this year, I’ll be getting on stage. Sister Tiantian, please pick out a dress for me."

He Tiantian knew Qi Xiaoyan loved singing and valued this opportunity to perform greatly.

"Right, my mom sent me clothes last year, and there are two or three pieces I haven’t worn yet; I think you should be able to fit into them." He Tiantian said, rising to search in another wardrobe.

He Tiantian was a bit heavier last year, so the clothes were a size larger.

He Tiantian turned up two pieces of autumn wear and a summer V-neck dress.

Qi Xiaoyan tried them on and exclaimed with delight, "My, they’re a bit tight, but if I lose a few pounds, I think I’ll be able to wear them."

"I can’t wear them now anyway, so if you like them, take them," He Tiantian said. "You love singing, so sing your heart out. When Brother Dajun earns money, he’ll produce a record for you."

"Yeah, when the time comes I’ll give you a few signed records as a present," Qi Xiaoyan chuckled, joking at the time.

Niu Dajun spent a few days in Nan City and then hurried back to Taoyuan County. He had to go back to set up his shop, take care of the decorations, all according to the standards of Nan City Sanfeng Bridge.

In order to maintain consistency, he took a lot of photos of the shops at Nan City Sanfeng Bridge, ensuring everything matched up.

Third Grandma Qi, Grandpa Qi, and Qi Xiaoyan, along with her two sons, had a wonderful time playing in Nan City.

By late August, it was almost time for Qi Xiaoyan to start school, so she had to leave.

"Tiantian, it’s almost September, we should head back too," Third Grandma Qi said with a smile, bidding farewell to He Tiantian.

Having lived here for over a month, they were starting to miss home.

Third Grandma Qi and Old Man Qi had realized that no matter how good it is outside, it’s not as good as their own home.

"Grandma, why don’t you stay for one more month, and I’ll personally take you back?" He Tiantian was reluctant to let Third Grandma Qi go and wanted her to stay a bit longer.

Third Grandma Qi smiled and looked at He Tiantian, who was earnest, touched her head, and said, "There is no banquet that never ends. We’ve been here for over a month, and seeing that you and your husband and children are all well, I am at ease. I will go back with Xiao Yan this time, and you’re about to start school too, so it won’t delay your studies."

"It’s never a delay," He Tiantian hurriedly argued, worried that saying it too late would lead Third Grandma Qi to a misunderstanding.

"All right, I know your intentions, child," Third Grandma Qi replied, "You are filial, but I truly miss home, and your Grandpa Qi wants to go back as well. Our house has been rebuilt, and we moved in this spring—it’s really nice. When you have time, bring the kids over for a visit."

Seeing that Third Grandma Qi had made up her mind, He Tiantian didn’t insist any further.

"Okay then," He Tiantian said, "Grandma, you must take care of yourself and live a long, healthy life to see Ruimin get married and Ruihua find a wife."

"Hehe," Third Grandma Qi chuckled, "Yes, I’ll try my best."

Third Grandma Qi had no worries or burdens, lived a relaxed life, and did as she pleased, which brought her great joy.

Such a life made Third Grandma Qi reluctant to leave the world, hoping to enjoy a few more years.

Since Niu Dajun had already left, Huo Yingjie personally took Third Grandma Qi, Old Man Qi, and Qi Xiaoyan with her sons back to Taoyuan County.

Huo Yingjie came back not only to accompany them but also to go to the cave in the back mountain to pick the sour dates there and the Thousand Flavor Grass he had planted.

Especially the Thousand Flavor Grass, its demand was quite high this year, so Huo Yingjie prepared extra quantities.

He also brought back some saplings to plant near Xuanwu Lake, to be tended by Little Rotating Turtle.

Village Chief Qi, seeing Huo Yingjie had arrived, secretly picked several dozen kilos of early ripe peaches for him to take back. Zhao Dajiao and Aunt Liu gave Huo Yingjie some wild products they had gathered from the mountains.

When Huo Yingjie arrived, he brought many gifts for everybody.

And when he left, everyone gave him even more in return.

On the round trip, it took Huo Yingjie four days to get home.

In the days that followed, He Tiantian tidied up the quilts in the house, washing them all and storing them away, and cleaned the house inside and out.

He Tiantian liked it here because whenever she felt like swimming at night, she could just get in the water.

But she always had Huo Yingjie’s company because she wouldn’t dare to swim alone.

Huo Zhekun and Jiang Lifang, for the sake of convenience in their work, had already moved back to their old place.

Since school hadn’t started yet, He Tiantian still preferred living by the lakeside.

Seeing Huo Yingjie return and put a large plate of peaches on the table, with each child holding and enthusiastically eating a peach,

"There are still peaches?" He Tiantian exclaimed with joy, put down what she was holding, picked up a peach, and took a big bite.

Yum... the taste was still so good!

"Village Chief Qi secretly picked them for me," Huo Yingjie explained, "He gave me several dozen kilos!"
