He Tiantian treated everyone around her with a grateful heart. However, reaching middle age, she discovered she had been living inside a full-bodied lie.
Returning to the year 1970, He Tianti...
938
With the Chinese New Year approaching, He Tiantian searched for local specialties in Yanjing and sent them to relatives and friends in other places.
Parents living abroad also mailed some.
Huo Zhekun and Jiang Lifang also returned to Yanjing in the snow to celebrate the Spring Festival with their family.
If it weren't for something important, the family could only relax and gather together during the Chinese New Year.
As soon as Jiang Lifang got home, she hugged Huo Ruifeng tightly and wouldn't let go.
“Sweetie, why do I feel like Ruifeng looks like me?” Jiang Lifang laughed. “Look at his eyes, look at his nose.”
He Tiantian smiled and said, "It's good to look like Grandma. Mom, you're good-looking, so it's not a bad thing to look like you."
"Haha, everyone in our family is good-looking, they all look good no matter who they take after," Jiang Lifang laughed. "Oh, seeing so many grandchildren, I really can't bear to part with them. But your father-in-law will probably have to stay away for another five years."
"Huh?" He Tiantian was taken aback. "Didn't you say you were going to be transferred here?"
“That was originally the plan, but now it’s been decided that he will become the governor of Jiangsu Province.” Jiang Lifang smiled bitterly. “In that case, he will have to wait five years before he can be transferred back.”
“Uh…” He Tiantian didn’t know what to say. After all, this was her father-in-law’s career, and she couldn’t express her opinion. “Mom, I’m not working now anyway. When the kids are on summer vacation, I can take them back to visit.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lifang's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, yes, how could I have forgotten about this!"
“Nanshi is also my hometown. You and your father-in-law are here, and you can only see each other during the Spring Festival. The children miss their grandparents, so they can only write letters and make phone calls. They can’t see you in person, and they miss you very much,” He Tiantian said. She also wanted to go out for a walk.
"Okay, sure." Jiang Lifang was very happy.
She couldn't leave her husband, but Jiang Lifang also wanted to spend time with her grandson and granddaughter.
As Jiang Lifang said, Huo Zhekun has already been internally selected as the next governor.
This is a high-ranking official in charge of a region.
As long as one survives five years safely, reaps the rewards of economic reform, and returns to the central government, one will surely be given an important position.
Mr. Huo was excited and beaming all night long.
Looking at people around the same age as his second son, Huo Zhekun, who can compare to his son?
Previously, when Li Gongru and Tang Qian were going through a divorce, the Tang family gave up an important position, which was the position of municipal party secretary.
Old Master Huo has every right to be proud; his son is already a provincial governor, and his eldest son will likely become a minister soon.
My eldest grandson, Huo Yingjun, works in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and will be able to take charge of things independently next year; my second grandson has already become the chief engineer of a top-tier national materials research institute.
Wow, they're all so ambitious and motivated!
The younger generation includes four great-grandsons and one great-granddaughter, half of whom are successful and will be able to carry on the Huo family tradition.
Before the Chinese New Year, He Tiantian came over with her parents-in-law and brought her this year's dividends.
One percent of the dividend is 268,000.
He Tiantian directly gave a round number, 270,000.
I originally wanted to transfer the money directly to my aunt and sister-in-law's accounts, but then I felt it wouldn't feel like we were dividing the money. But this 270,000 yuan is just too much, isn't it?
One hundred ten-yuan notes in a stack, a total of two hundred and seventy stacks, and this is still one set.
Half a pocketful of money for each person.
Song Chunli and Zhao Huanhuan were also surprised.
"Sweetie, this year's share is a bit high!" Zhao Huanhuan laughed. "You didn't give us too much, did you?"
"No, business is good this year," He Tiantian said. "If possible, I'll have the accountant transfer the money directly to your bank account next time."
Song Chunli smiled and said, "No need, Tiantian, just give me the money directly, I'll deposit it myself. I'm just worried that the bank might make a mistake with such a large sum of money."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lifang smiled and said, "Tian Tian, from now on you should give the money to your aunt so she can save it herself; it will be more convenient for her."
"Sure!" He Tiantian agreed. As long as they didn't find it troublesome, He Tiantian didn't mind!
Song Chunli and Zhao Huanhuan carried the money upstairs, and both the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were very excited.
When Madam Huo saw them go up, she smiled and said, "Thanks to Tian Tian, they won't have to worry about not having money at home anymore."
"Grandmother, don't say that. We're all family." He Tiantian smiled. "Aunt, Uncle, Brother, and Sister-in-law have helped us a lot. I'll do as much as I can to help. It's good that we all live in harmony."
Jiang Lifang chimed in, "Yes, Mom, Zhekun and I will be away for another five years. Yingjie and Tiantian are in Yanjing, and there are some social interactions and interpersonal relationships that Tiantian and Yingjie don't know about. It's all thanks to you and my sister-in-law who helped us. I'll always remember that and I'm extremely grateful."
"Hehe, your sister-in-law is indeed much better than before," Old Madam Huo said with a smile. "Perhaps she's gotten older and has become more open-minded."
"No matter what, I must thank my sister-in-law," Jiang Lifang said with a smile, no longer being disrespectful to her sister-in-law as before, but showing great respect.
As long as Song Chunli is reliable, Jiang Lifang is naturally willing to give her this respect.
Today, Song Chunli didn't count the money inside the house. She hid the money and then came downstairs to prepare the meal.
Jiang Lifang and He Tiantian wanted to help, but she chased them away.
It's completely different from before!
However, this is the kind of Song Chunli that earns everyone's respect.
Another thing happened before the Lunar New Year: Fuxi Auto Dealership donated a total of 1,000 cotton-padded coats and 300 kilograms of candy to four orphanages.
This incident even made it onto local television in Beijing.
When He Tiantian saw Tang Qian talking about being a conscientious entrepreneur on TV, her face twitched slightly.
You're one of the few people with a conscience.
It was my money that was spent.
However, He Tiantian was still grateful to Tang Qian. The reason she had a different opinion of Tang Qian was because Tang Qian was pursuing Qi Zhengmin in earnest.
Seeing Qi Zhengmin soften his attitude towards Tang Qian time and time again, He Tiantian was extremely anxious.
As I said before, I won't participate or obstruct; I can only stand by and watch helplessly.
"Alright, even if you stare a big hole through the TV, Tang Qian won't know." Huo Yingjie knew what He Tiantian was thinking when he saw her staring at the TV.
My wife is very mature in other aspects, but she is always particularly sensitive when it comes to emotional matters, especially those close to her.
Right now, Tang Qian is most afraid of He Tiantian.
"Sigh!" He Tiantian sighed, "I believe that Tang Qian will soon be ruthless in destroying this flower."
"Alright, it's not certain who will suffer this time!" Huo Yingjie whispered. Qi Zhengmin is no ordinary delicate flower, and Tang Qian is probably going to suffer this time.
Who told him to make so many women cry in the past? Now, finally, a woman has come to teach him a lesson.
