In her previous life, she did not get close to the two elderly people, but she still received some help.

In this life, she treated the two elders with sincerity, and in return, she received their protection, which allowed her to live a peaceful life in Qijia Village.

Grandma Qi wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and said, “The children have grown up and will all spread their wings and fly high. You can leave with peace of mind. If you have time, you can come and visit us. That’s enough. I’m not only saying these things to you, but also to your father and your Uncle Qi’s family. As long as we’re family, it’s enough to have each other in our hearts. It’s not that staying here is filial piety, nor is it that leaving is unfilial.”

Hearing this, He Tiantian felt even more sad, but at the same time, she felt a little comforted.

"Alright, you all have your own lives now. Things will get better and better from now on. Don't cry anymore," said Grandma Qi. "Your crying makes me want to cry too..."

Grandma Qi loved He Tiantian even more than her own granddaughter!

Next was He Jingyu. Wang Shuping, holding He Doudou, kowtowed to Grandma Qi San and expressed her gratitude once again.

That evening, Grandma Qi San personally went down to the secret room and packed two large boxes of things for He Tiantian.

“Sweetie, I promised you I would save these things for you. Now that I’ve found your Uncle Qi, I’ll give you half,” said Grandma Qi. “I keep my word. These are for you, so you can’t refuse.”

He Tiantian swallowed the words of refusal that were about to come out of her mouth.

"There's a special train available, you can take them back," Grandma Qi said, since the two boxes weren't heavy anyway.

He Tiantian smiled wryly and said, "Grandma, please keep these things with you for now. Those special trains may seem to have low security, but they actually check them much more thoroughly behind the scenes. I brought these two boxes on the train, and I guess many people know that. Wouldn't it be better if you kept them for me, and I could give them back to you when I come to visit later?"

"Huh?" Grandma Qi was taken aback. "We need to get checked too?"

"Yes, they will be checked," He Tiantian said. Even if they were to take these things away, it wouldn't be now.

"Alright, I'll keep it for you and give it to you when you come over later. If you don't come to see me, I won't give it to you," Grandma Qi said jokingly. "Let me show you one more time; there are lots of good things inside."

After saying that, Grandma Qi opened the box and showed it off.

He Tiantian smiled and said, "Okay, I'll come to visit Grandma often for these things."

"Haha, that's right," said Grandma Qi.

They've become so close that they can joke like this without any reservations.

Qi Zhengmin and Qi Zhenghan have arrived. After He Tiantian, He Jingyu, and the others leave, the siblings will stay here for a while to keep the two elderly people company.

As the day of parting drew closer, the atmosphere at home became somewhat somber.

However, everyone's sadness could not stop the passage of time, and finally the day of departure arrived.

Grandma Qi and Old Man Qi stood at the door, watching everyone leave.

In the blink of an eye, only the two old men and women, Qi Zhengmin and Qi Zhenghan were left in the house.

"Grandma, let's go inside. Sister Tian and the others have already gone far away," Qi Zhengmin said comfortingly, taking out a handkerchief to wipe away her grandmother's tears.

Grandma Qi nodded and said, "Yes, let's go inside."

When He Jingyu left, he asked Aunt Liu and Qi Shuming's wife to take turns coming over to cook, wash clothes, and do housework for Grandma Qi and Grandpa Qi.

Qi Shuliang was rich and gave them 100 yuan every month.

One hundred yuan is more than the teachers' salaries.

Even after boarding the train with her child in her arms, He Tiantian couldn't let go of her feelings and still missed Grandma Qi.

This wise old lady almost changed He Tiantian's life! From this wise old lady, I learned about open-mindedness, strength, and composure!

As the train started moving, two streams of tears rolled down He Tiantian's cheeks.

Farewell, tragic past life!

Farewell, my youth!

Everyone knows that He Tiantian has a special feeling for this place, so no one came to disturb her.

Huo Yingjie, with his two children, stood not far away, glancing in their direction from time to time.

At this time, being alone is the best way to relieve stress.

About half an hour later, He Tiantian had calmed down and looked into the distance.

Her husband was taking care of the child, and her parents were watching her with concern...

Fortunately, she still has her family and many precious things. Let bygones be bygones; she has a new path to walk!

He Tiantian glanced at her watch; it was time to feed her baby.

“Come on, let me breastfeed the baby.” He Tiantian took her daughter and fed her son first.

It wasn't that they favored boys over girls, but rather that Huo Ruihua was born later and was physically weaker.

Huo Yingjie was slightly relieved to see that He Tiantian had regained her former quiet and lively self.

Life is long and you will encounter many things, but he will face them with her.

Seeing that He Tiantian had recovered, the elders could finally laugh and joke again.

The carriage was very lively because of little He Doudou. Just now, in order not to disturb He Tiantian, Wang Shuping had been keeping He Doudou in check, not letting him run around or talk.

Now he's running around the carriage happily, being especially mischievous.

Huo Zhekun and Jiang Lifang would come over from time to time to relieve He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie, and help take care of the child so that the young couple could rest for a while.

That evening, Qi Shuliang, He Jingyu, Huo Zhekun, Huo Yingjie, and Huo Yingjun sat together and discussed the future trends of China.

“With that person in charge, great changes in China are just around the corner,” Qi Shuliang said. “I will make some adjustments when I return to the United States this time, so that we can take advantage of this reform and achieve further development.”

“Yes, many people realize that reform is imminent,” Huo Zhekun said. He was involved in politics, and the Huo family had special channels that allowed him to know more inside information.

The leader had called my father to discuss future matters more than once, which shows that a consensus had been reached at the top.

However, the shadow of the past decade still lingers, and for the time being, no one dares to openly advocate for reform.

However, everyone knows that reform is imperative, and that's enough.

Because of this decision, the Chinese Congress embarked on an unusual and distinctive path of reform.

Because it was unprecedented, we could only proceed cautiously, feeling our way across the river as we went.

"Then we must be even more careful and cautious when making preparations. Reform always comes at a price, so we must be on the side of success, not on the side of failure, and not become the victims." He Jingyu is a conservative person, and before things have even started, he has already begun to prepare for the worst.

It wasn't that he was timid; it was just that their previous experiences forced them to be cautious.
