The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 969 - 938: Staring in Disbelief

The Lunar New Year arrived, and He Tiantian collected Yanjing’s specialties to send to relatives and friends out of town.

She also mailed some to her parents overseas.

Huo Zhekun and Jiang Lifang also returned to Yanjing amid the snow to celebrate the New Year with their family and have a reunion.

If it were not for work, they could only gather together at ease during the Lunar New Year.

As soon as Jiang Lifang got home, she held on to Huo Ruifeng and wouldn’t let go, unwilling to release him.

"Tiantian, why do I feel like Ruifeng looks like me?" Jiang Lifang said with a laugh, "Look at these eyes, look at this nose."

He Tiantian smiled and said, "It’s good that he resembles grandma, mom. You’re beautiful, it’s not a loss to take after you."

"Haha, everyone in our family is good-looking. It’s fine no matter who they resemble," Jiang Lifang laughed, "Ah, seeing so many grandsons and granddaughters, I really can’t bear to leave them. But your father-in-law, I reckon he’ll have to stay out there for another five years."

"Ah?" He Tiantian was startled, "I thought there was talk of transferring him here?"

"That was the plan, but now it’s been decided, he’s become the governor of Su Province," Jiang Lifang said with a wry smile, "So, he must stay there for another five years before he can be transferred back."

"Uh uh..." He Tiantian didn’t know what to say; after all, this concerned her father-in-law’s career and it was not her place to comment, "Mom, I’m not working right now anyway. When the kids have summer vacation, I can take them to visit."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lifang’s eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly, "Right, right, how could I have forgotten about this!"

"Nan City is my hometown too. With you and father-in-law there, we can usually only meet during the New Year. The children miss their grandparents and can only write letters or make phone calls without seeing them. They miss you a lot as well," He Tiantian said, feeling a desire to travel as well.

"Okay, good," Jiang Lifang was very happy.

Her husband couldn’t leave his post, but Jiang Lifang also wanted to spend time with her grandchildren.

Indeed, as Jiang Lifang had said, Huo Zhekun was already appointed as the next governor.

This was a major government position indeed.

As long as he could safely get through five years and harvest the fruits of economic reform, his return to the central government would surely lead to his significant use.

Old Master Huo was excited all night, his spirits high and animated.

Looking around at those close in age to his second son, Huo Zhekun, no one could match his own son.

Previously, when Li Gongru and Tang Qian had their divorce, the Tang family gave up an important position, which was still that of a city party secretary.

Old Master Huo had every right to be proud; his son was already a governor, and his eldest son would likely soon become the head of a ministry.

Eldest Grandson Huo Yingjun in the foreign affairs department would be able to stand on his own next year; the Second Grandson had already become the chief engineer at the National First-Class Material Research Institute.

Ah, each one was truly striving for progress!

The younger generation consisted of four great-grandsons and one great-granddaughter, half of whom were well on their way, ensuring the continuation of the Huo family legacy.

Before the New Year, He Tiantian came over with her in-laws and then brought this year’s dividend.

A ten percent dividend amounted to 268,000.

He Tiantian rounded it up and gave an even 270,000.

She had initially thought to transfer it directly to her aunt and sister-in-law’s accounts, but felt it lacked the atmosphere of splitting money. Yet, this 270,000, it seemed too much.

A stack of one hundred ten-yuan bills, exactly 270 stacks; this was just one share.

Half a bag of money per person.

Song Chunli and Zhao Huanhuan were also very surprised.

"Tiantian, the profit share is quite a bit this year!" Zhao Huanhuan laughed. "You didn’t give us too much, did you?"

"No, business was good this year," He Tiantian said. "If it’s okay, next time I’ll have the accountant directly transfer it into your bankbooks."

Song Chunli chuckled and said, "No need, Tiantian, just handing over the cash is fine. I’ll go deposit it myself. I’m afraid that with so much money, the bank might make a mistake."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lifang laughed and said, "Tiantian, in the future just give the money to your aunt. She can deposit it herself, it’s more convenient."

"Okay!" He Tiantian agreed, as long as they didn’t find it troublesome, she was indifferent!

Song Chunli and Zhao Huanhuan carried the money upstairs, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were both very excited.

Old Madam Huo saw them go up and said with a smile, "Thanks to Tiantian, they won’t have to worry about money at home anymore."

"Grandma, don’t say that, we’re all family," He Tiantian smiled and said. "Aunt, uncle, elder brother, sister-in-law, they all have helped us a lot. Whatever I can help with, whatever I can do, I will try to do. It’s good for everyone to live in harmony."

Jiang Lifang also echoed, "Yes, mom, and Zhekun and I will be living outside for another five years. With Yingjie and Tiantian in Yanjing, all the social interactions and worldly affairs that Tiantian and Yingjie aren’t aware of, it’s you and sister-in-law who have been helping. I’ve always remembered this in my heart, and I’m very grateful."

"Hehe, your sister-in-law is indeed much better than before," Old Madam Huo laughed. "Maybe she’s become more open-minded as she’s gotten older."

"Anyway, we have to thank sister-in-law," Jiang Lifang laughed, no longer disrespectful toward her as before, but very respectful instead.

As long as Song Chunli did her job reliably, Jiang Lifang was naturally willing to show her that respect.

Today, Song Chunli didn’t count the money in the room. After hiding it, she came down to busy herself with cooking.

Jiang Lifang and He Tiantian wanted to help, but she chased them out.

She was completely different from before!

Yet this kind of Song Chunli was respectable to everyone.

Another event took place before the New Year; the Fuxi Automobile Dealership delivered warmth to the welfare homes, donating a total of one thousand cotton coats and three hundred kilograms of candy, benefiting four orphanages in total.

Because of this event, it even made it onto the local Yanjing television station.

As He Tiantian watched Tang Qian on television, talking at length about being a conscientious entrepreneur, her face twitched slightly.

You consider yourself conscientious now.

The money’s mine, though.

However, inside, He Tiantian was still thankful to Tang Qian. The reason she had special feelings for Tang Qian was because he was fervently pursuing Qi Zhengmin at the time.

Seeing Qi Zhengmin’s attitude toward Tang Qian soften time and time again, He Tiantian was anxious.

But she had said before, she wouldn’t interfere or obstruct, so she could only watch powerlessly from the sidelines.

"Alright, even if you stare a hole through the television, Tang Qian won’t know what you’re thinking," Huo Yingjie remarked upon seeing He Tiantian staring at the television, knowing what was on her mind.

His wife had matured in many aspects, but when it came to emotions, especially those involving close people, she was always particularly sensitive.

Now, the person Tang Qian feared the most was He Tiantian.

"Ah!" He Tiantian sighed. "I believe it won’t be long before Tang Qian begins to relentlessly pursue her."

"Come on, it’s not decided who will pursue whom yet!" Huo Yingjie said softly, as Qi Zhengmin was no ordinary delicate flower, and Tang Qian might be in for a tough time this time.

It serves him right for making so many women cry before; now, at last, there’s a woman to give him what he deserves.
