Later, his wish came true!

We won the War of Resistance Against Japan, we won the War of Liberation, and we won the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea!

He held a high position, but he didn't like that kind of life.

With no more worries, he returned home.

When I returned home, I learned about her situation!

My son is missing, and my husband is dead!

A ripple stirred in my heart, which was as calm as still water! Perhaps it is a kind of happiness to be able to watch her grow old peacefully.

Old Qi shook his head, deciding not to think about it anymore.

As people get older, once they open their memories, all sorts of things from the past will come flooding back to them!

I don't want to think about it anymore. I'm quite tired today and need to get some rest.

Professor Gu and Professor Wang were also deeply moved, feeling fortunate that they had met such good people and could now live a peaceful life in Qijia Village.

Old Man Bai, Zuo Li, and Xiang Rong remained silent for a long time!

"So he was the pride and legend of the army," the old man said with emotion. "Back then, the country had just been founded and everything was in ruins. Many people were assigned to important positions, but he chose to leave, leaving that turbulent circle. We all thought he was dead. We never expected that he would live in seclusion in this peaceful Qijia Village."

“Perhaps this is what it means to be a person who is devoted to the country and indifferent to fame and fortune,” Zuo Li said. “We were all soldiers before, and we grew up listening to his stories.”

“Yes, seeing is believing. I think I know why we were sent here,” Xiang Rong said. “It’s because the higher-ups hope that General Qi can protect us for a while.”

"Perhaps so," said Old Man Bai. "From now on, we must show even more respect to Second Brother Qi and not neglect him."

Zuo Li and Xiang Rong smiled wryly. Even in their current situation, they were still being extremely polite to everyone else! How could they dare to slight anyone?

He Tiantian lay on the bed, resting with her eyes closed.

Overseas connections were He Tiantian's biggest threat, but that has been resolved!

As for other threats, they are no longer enough to deliver a fatal blow to He Tiantian!

Although Qi Jianguo was not punished this time, he was still put on the blacklist of Secretary Qi, Director Zhao, and Old Man Qi.

From now on, not only will she be wary of Qi Jianguo, but all these people will be too. What follows is simple: she just needs to stir up trouble among them and make things difficult for Qi Jianguo, leading to a bumpy and tragic journey.

However, He Tiantian didn't see Qi Jianguo this time. Next time she sees him, she'll definitely find a secluded place and give him a good beating to teach him a lesson. He Tiantian isn't a coward, and she's not someone to be bullied!

"Gurgle gurgle meow..." He Tiantian murmured, she wanted to thank the Snake King properly.

This time, thanks to the Snake King, He Tiantian was able to have the physical strength and energy to deal with these things!

"Why aren't you sleeping at this hour?" the Snake King said irritably, interrupting its cultivation.

There's no other way; this dimension is devoid of spiritual energy, so you can only rely on your own cultivation. You can't afford to be lazy!

Seeing that the Snake King's tone was unfriendly, He Tiantian quickly flattered him, saying, "Snake King, thank you for your hard work! I've decided to go up the mountain tomorrow to see if I can get any prey. You know, the villagers have helped me, and I have no way to repay them, so I can only go up the mountain to find something to give back to everyone."

"Hmph!" The Snake King was displeased. "Wasn't it all my doing?"

"Yes! Thank you for your hard work, Snake King." He Tiantian said with a grin, "My tragic past life has changed, all thanks to the Snake King. I am extremely grateful. May I eat more meat and contribute more blood to the Snake King?"

"You begged me, not me, the Great King," the Snake King said arrogantly, as if only at this moment could he display his noble status as the Snake King.

He Tiantian nodded vigorously, and said crisply, "Yes, yes, it is this humble woman who is begging for the Snake King's grace!"

The Snake King raised its head proudly, looking rather smug and aloof!

"Alright then!" The Snake King finally relented. "Is there anything else? If not, I'm going to cultivate now!"

"Little Sweetie respectfully bids farewell to the Snake King!" He Tiantian said obsequiously, "Wishing the Snake King a swift and successful cultivation!"

"hehe······"

A sinister laugh revealed that the Snake King was in a very good mood!

He Tiantian successfully persuaded the Snake King, felt at ease, and went to sleep peacefully.

He Tiantian had been under a lot of stress lately and hadn't had a proper rest. Now that she's relaxed, she woke up the next day after nine o'clock, and the sunlight streaming into the room was a bit dazzling.

When Grandma Qi saw that He Tiantian had woken up, she quickly called He Tiantian to eat.

"I've already eaten; this was saved for you," said Grandma Qi. "You've had a hard time these past few days!"

"Hehe, it's finally over." He Tiantian laughed. "Grandma Qi, I'll go to the back mountain later to see if there are any wild rabbits or pheasants. If I'm lucky, I'll catch a few to nourish you."

"Hehe, don't go into the dense forest. Just wander around at the foot of the mountain. It's winter now, and the livestock are short of food," Grandma Qi reminded her. "Besides, it's not safe for you to go up the mountain alone. Take a few more people with you."

He Tiantian nodded and said, "Okay! Uncle Zuo and Uncle Xiang, they probably can't stay idle either, I'll persuade them to go together."

"It's much safer with someone following me," Grandma Qi said with a smile, looking at He Tiantian with affection.

After eating, He Tiantian packed her things and went to the livestock team.

Qi Xiaoyan was already waiting at the door for He Tiantian to pass by!

"It's so late today, did you sleep in?" Qi Xiaoyan complained. "Qi Fangfang is visiting relatives these days, so I need to take advantage of her absence to learn more from Professor Wang."

He Tiantian then realized that she hadn't seen Qi Jianguo, Qi Fangfang, or even Accountant Qi Shuli for the past few days. It turned out they had already visited relatives; the village's troubles had nothing to do with them, at least on the surface!

I really underestimated Qi Jianguo and Qi Shuli!

He Tiantian smiled, took Qi Xiaoyan's arm, and said, "Okay, let's hurry up then. You study hard with Professor Wang, and I'll go find Uncle Zuo and Uncle Xiang to go up the mountain and catch some wild game to nourish your body!"

"Okay, I really miss dried pheasant meat, it's so delicious," Qi Xiaoyan said, pointing out her favorite dish.

This is my good friend, so I can fulfill this request.

There were plenty of livestock in the team, and everyone was chopping hay in the yard, chatting and laughing.

Aunt Liu was overjoyed when she heard that He Tiantian was going to the back mountain. She said, "The livestock team only has this much work to do, we can handle it. Tiantian, go ahead, whether I get to eat meat today depends on you."

"Okay! I'll do my best!" He Tiantian said with a smile. "Uncle Zuo, Uncle Xiang, are you going?"

Actually, with the Snake King around, He Tiantian could probably handle it with just a sickle. But today, He Tiantian didn't just want to catch rabbits and pheasants; she also wanted to catch a big wild boar. If it were just He Tiantian alone, no one would believe she had such ability. But by bringing Xiang Rong and Zuo Li along, saying that the three of them were working together, and with them leading the way, no one would doubt her. (To be continued.)
