The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 985 - 954: Tang Qian’s Urgency

Qi Zhengmin thought carefully, then shook her head and said, "I really like him, love him, I probably won’t."

She was a woman who took relationships very seriously. Her seemingly unrestrained behavior was only superficial and not truly "unrestrained."

"Then that’s settled," He Tiantian said. "You silly girl, don’t trouble yourself. Tang Qian agreed so readily because he understood the outcome. The focus of this relationship, this marriage, lies with him. As long as he is fine, his business remains his, and you are also his."

"Okay," Qi Zhengmin suddenly felt that He Tiantian made a lot of sense. Since the family elders had said so, she agreed too.

Last time her father and mother left, they hadn’t thought of this method and were still worried about her.

After dinner, Qi Zhengmin glanced at Tang Qian, then looked outside.

Understanding her cue, Tang Qian greeted everyone and followed Qi Zhengmin, leaving one after the other.

He Tiantian looked at Third Grandma Qi and whispered, "Grandma is mighty!"

"Hehe, it was just a small matter." Third Grandma Qi laughed proudly, recalling her son and daughter-in-law’s concerns before they left.

What was there to worry about!

She was not worried at all.

She had thought of this method right then and there.

However, she didn’t tell anyone else but kept it to herself, waiting for Tang Qian to come over to speak in person.

After all, she was old and fearless, able to say whatever she wanted, and for her granddaughter’s sake, she recklessly pulled rank due to her age.

Huo Yingjie laughed, the old and the young, both grinning like foxes.

Actually, Tang Qian was also a fox.

Everyone was clever, so the matter could proceed smoothly.

Meanwhile, Qi Zhengmin and Tang Qian walked outside, strolling along the country road.

"Tang Qian, do you think what grandma said was too much?" Qi Zhengmin asked, and though Tang Qian had agreed, she didn’t want him to feel forced, affecting their relationship.

Tang Qian smiled and said, "Not at all! Putting myself in her shoes, I understand her words."

"Really?" Qi Zhengmin was half convinced.

"It is true," Tang Qian replied. "I wouldn’t lie to you."

"Okay, considering your good attitude, I’ll add a clause to the agreement that binds me too and won’t let you suffer," Qi Zhengmin said with a smile. "After nearly two years together, we understand each other. I hope we can be faithful to one another, like Sister Tiantian and Huo Yingjie, loving each other deeply, loving our children, and together honoring our elders."

"Yes, I hope for that too. Our goals are aligned," said Tang Qian, holding Qi Zhengmin’s hand. "Let’s do well together and work hard."

Qi Zhengmin was very happy, her eyes slightly teary!

She admitted, she was moved.

Since talking with Third Grandma Qi, Tang Qian felt like a weight had been lifted, much more at ease.

To give was to receive.

Only with sacrifice comes reward!

Tang Qian firmly remembered this saying.

He had now gained the Qi family’s approval, and his marriage to Qi Zhengmin could probably be settled.

Under the moonlight, Tang Qian gazed at the beautiful and delicate Qi Zhengmin, gently embraced her, and kissed her.

Now he had only one thought!

Get married, hurry up and get married!

Have kids, hurry up and have kids!

All of his friends of similar age already had children.

In the past, Tang Qian felt his parents were being naggy when they said these things, but now that he was older, he understood their thoughts and also felt some urgency.

While everyone was enjoying the cool air in the courtyard, He Tiantian brought out a large watermelon and was cutting it on the table.

At that moment, Qi Zhengmin and Tang Qian came in hand in hand from outside.

Everyone saw them and exchanged smiles.

Only true feelings could remain unaffected by the words of Third Grandma Qi. As long as Tang Qian’s feelings for Qi Zhengmin were sincere, they were even happier.

After all, the reason Third Grandma Qi said those things was to test Tang Qian, not because she really cared about their money.

"Zhengmin, Tang Qian, come and eat some watermelon," He Tiantian said with a smile. "There are so many mosquitoes outside, aren’t you afraid of getting bitten?"

Qi Zhengmin’s face blushed slightly as he said, "Sister Tiantian, hurry up and cut the watermelon."

She was so bad.

"Haha," He Tiantian laughed. "Okay, let’s eat watermelon. They say girls are outgoing, I didn’t believe it before, but now I totally believe it."

"Please, Sister Tiantian, stop teasing me," Qi Zhengmin murmured as he walked up to He Tiantian. "Little sister, I’ll accompany you to the market early tomorrow, that should be fine, right?"

"Tsk tsk!" He Tiantian acted all innocent and shook her head, "Don’t push yourself, you must be busy, and besides, you don’t like going to the early market."

"I do, just to accompany Sister Tiantian, I like it too!" Qi Zhengmin quickly said. "Tomorrow I’ll carry everything, is that okay now?"

"Since you’re so enthusiastic, I’ll just accept it reluctantly," He Tiantian smiled. Since it was very early in the morning and Huo Yingjie had to stay at home to watch the children, He Tiantian could only bring Qi Zhengmin along.

Tomorrow was Grandpa Qi’s birthday, and He Tiantian wanted to celebrate it properly, so she decided to get up early to buy some fresh ingredients and cook a big meal.

Qi Zhengmin’s expression was huffy, but He Tiantian simply ignored it and felt triumphant.

Everyone knew that He Tiantian and Qi Zhengmin were joking and didn’t take it seriously.

However, Tang Qian had decided to also get up early tomorrow and follow along to help with carrying things, so Qi Zhengmin wouldn’t get too tired.

That evening, while He Tiantian was writing the menu, Huo Yingjie had put the children to sleep and came up behind He Tiantian, asking, "Aren’t you done yet?"

"Almost, just two more dishes to go," He Tiantian replied. "Give me three more minutes."

"Okay!" Huo Yingjie laughed, standing beside her, looking at the moon outside the window, reminiscing about all their moments in Qijia Village.

It turned out that here, too, he and Tiantian had many memories.

This place held the youth of Tiantian’s two lives, no wonder she couldn’t part with it, especially in this life, He Tiantian cherished it very much.

Huo Yingjie knew that because of his job, it was difficult for He Tiantian to travel abroad, so he tried his best to take vacations to travel with He Tiantian as a way of making it up to her.

However, Tiantian didn’t care much for those sceneries; in her heart, it was the people that mattered because the people made the scenery beautiful, so their first travel destination was Qijia Village. If nothing unexpected happened, the next destination would be Nan City.

After finishing, He Tiantian saw Huo Yingjie leaning against the window, gazing outside.

"What are you thinking about?" He Tiantian asked. "You were daydreaming just now."

Huo Yingjie stretched out his arm, wrapping it around He Tiantian, and said softly, "Just thinking about our time spent in Qijia Village, it’s always so warm! Even though there were some setbacks, they’re still worth reminiscing about."

"Yes, I often reminisce about the past too, especially since coming to Qijia Village, I like it even more here," He Tiantian said with a smile, hugging Huo Yingjie’s waist. "This place represents my rebirth, our fresh start."
