Chapter 790: Chapter 759 Excited, Qi Xiaoyan Arrives_1

He Tiantian kissed Huo Yingjie and then hid the slip of paper—it was all family money after all!

With this money, He Tiantian was even more confident in what she did, without any worries about the future!

"Brother Yingjie is really awesome," He Tiantian praised again. "In our family, Brother Yingjie is the most impressive, so you can’t let your thoughts wander anymore."

He Tiantian took the opportunity to stroke Huo Yingjie’s ego, satisfying his masculine pride in supporting the family.

"Okay," Huo Yingjie said, wrapping his arms around He Tiantian and spinning her around on the spot.

"Ah!" He Tiantian screamed, "Let me down quickly!"

The sudden embrace startled He Tiantian, and her face paled in fright.

"Not letting go, I just won’t!" Huo Yingjie spun a few more circles.

Huo Ruimin ran out from the house, excitedly saying, "Daddy, Ruimin wants a hug too!"

"Let me down quickly!" He Tiantian said, "The child can see us!"

Huo Yingjie released He Tiantian and then began to hold his daughter Huo Ruimin. Seeing the envious look in his son’s eyes, he put down his daughter and picked up his son to spin around in the yard.

He Doudou was even more envious, remembering how his dad used to hold him like that when he was little. But now he had grown up, and his dad could no longer lift him.

Huo Yingjie saw the envious look in He Doudou’s eyes, put down his son, and spun He Doudou around a few times.

"Ha ha!" He Doudou laughed, "Brother-in-law is so nice!"

The yard was filled with the sounds of the children screaming and laughing.

Time passed very quickly, and Bai Qiongyu, He Jingyu, and others finished their work in Nan City. After resting for half a month, they were ready to return with Qi Shuliang and Annie.

Wang Shuping couldn’t bear to leave, polishing the ins and outs of the house many times over the past two days, as if she wanted to engrave every little detail in her heart.

"Mom, don’t be like this. It makes me feel bad to see you so uneasy," He Tiantian said, feeling sorry for her mother who, compared to being abroad, she knew preferred being at home in her own country.

Wang Shuping sat down and took a sip from the cup of water her daughter handed her, sighing, "Ah, I really don’t want to leave. It’s nice abroad, but it’s not as good as being at home."

"That’s right!" He Tiantian replied, "But our family is special!"

Reality can be so helpless sometimes!

"Yes," Wang Shuping agreed. "When I think about it, I feel like I’m being greedy. Our lives are so much better than before. To ask for more would be too much."

"Mm, what mom says is true," He Tiantian nodded slightly, "Contentment brings happiness!"

These past few days, He Jingyu often talked with Huo Yingjie, hinting indirectly that Huo Yingjie should treat Tiantian well.

Huo Yingjie agreed to everything, showing no signs of dissatisfaction, lest his father-in-law wouldn’t be able to rest easy even while abroad.

Bai Qiongyu appeared indifferent, but she privately left He Tiantian a savings book from a local Yanjing bank with a million yuan.

After Qi Shuliang and Annie left, Qi Zhenghan and Qi Zhengmin continued to stay in Nan City to carry on with their work.

Just two days before leaving, Secretary Qi, Niu Dajun, and Qi Xiaoyan brought the two kids to Yanjing.

"Hearing that you didn’t have time to visit Qijia Village, I came over," said Village Chief Qi. "It’s been so many years, and I’ve been really anxious to see you."

He Jingyu smiled and said, "It was hard work for Big Brother Qi to make the trip."

"Not at all," replied Village Chief Qi. "We all came together and got to see all of you. Otherwise, you would have had to bring your families over, and transportation is inconvenient." Village Chief Qi had thought this through.

After all, their region was remote, and they were very busy.

"By the way, Big Brother Dazhu, how are the two factories in the village doing?" Qi Shuliang asked. Previously, with his daughter’s help, they had built two factories in Qijia Village, using all the land that wasn’t suitable for crops.

Village Chief Qi was quite pleased when Qi Shuliang brought up the factories. "Very well, extremely well. Now, most of the village labor force, the women, are working in the factories, and our days are considered good not only in Taoyuan County but even in Huai City. The kids are going to school and are particularly sensible too."

"That’s great to hear," said Qi Shuliang. "I have already heard about the construction of the junior high school from Zhengmin. Zhenghan will transfer the money for this part as soon as possible, so that the school can be built better."

"Heh, there’s no need, Shuliang," Village Chief Qi said. "Now that the village has two factories, the profits are pretty good, and we have the extra money to build the school."

Qi Shuliang thought about it and said, "Then alright, I will send over more books, so the children can read more and broaden their horizons."

"I won’t refuse that," said Village Chief Qi. Money was easy to solve, but buying a large number of books was somewhat difficult.

He Jingyu smiled and said, "I’ll also donate some books."

"Good, good, I won’t refuse these," said Village Chief Qi. "Now, with our village as the center, a market is forming, and it’s getting bigger and bigger. Given time, it could even outshine the county town."

"Then you should plan it well, perhaps it could become a town before long," He Jingyu advised. "By then, Big Brother Qi could even become the mayor right at your doorstep."

Village Chief Qi waved his hand and laughed, "At my age, whether I become a mayor or not doesn’t matter to me; I just hope our village can keep getting better and better."

The three of them chatted about their respective situations while having tea.

Huo Yingjie, Niu Dajun, Qi Xiaoyan, and He Tiantian sat inside, eating pastries, drinking tea, and chatting.

As for the children, they all went out to the yard to play with Little Rotating Turtle.

"Sister Tiantian, we’ve come to bring you six months’ worth of 30% of the profits," said Qi Xiaoyan. "This is 160,000 yuan and the ledger, Sister Tiantian, please check it."

He Tiantian took it and said, "Alright, I’ll check the accounts. You’ve done good business this half-year!"

"It’s all thanks to Sister Tiantian’s goods," said Qi Xiaoyan. "Ordinary shops could never make this much money."

"Hmm, keep up the good work, and you’ll be able to earn even more in the future," He Tiantian nodded, encouraging Qi Xiaoyan and Niu Dajun.

However, Qi Xiaoyan wasn’t as happy as He Tiantian had imagined. "Xiao Yan, what’s wrong? Have you run into some trouble?" she asked.

Qi Xiaoyan sneaked a glance at Niu Dajun, then shook her head and said, "It’s nothing!"

He Tiantian, puzzled, turned to look at Niu Dajun and said, "Brother Dajun, what’s going on? Speak up. We can always find a way to solve any problem."

Niu Dajun gave a bitter smile and said, "Actually, it’s not a big deal. It’s just that Xiao Yan has a great talent for singing, and it’s a pity for her to be just a music teacher in elementary school. Especially after participating in the provincial red song contest, one of the old artist judges said that if Xiao Yan goes to Yanjing Music Academy for further study, she could definitely become a famous singer in the future."

"Oh!" He Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Qi Xiaoyan. "Do you want to try for the Yanjing Music Academy?"

Qi Xiaoyan nodded, then shook her head again.
