After playing for a while, Huo Ruifeng finally forgot about the big fish in the basin and dropped the small wooden stick in his hand.

Seeing his eldest son and daughter looking at their younger brother with some envy, Huo Yingjie put the child in Tang Qian's arms and then lifted his daughter high in the air.

Although his daughter is older, Huo Yingjie is still strong enough to pick her up and lift her up.

Then came Huo Ruihua, who, without bias, doted on all three children.

Tang Qian agreed wholeheartedly and decided to learn from Huo Yingjie in the future.

After breakfast, He Tiantian and Qi Zhengmin were tidying up the vegetables when Qi Xiaoyan, Liang Hongyu, Aunt Liu, and Qi Daniu came over to help.

With three tables of food, relying on He Tiantian would indeed be difficult for Qi Zhengmin.

Although they can make it, the two of them will be exhausted.

Huo Yingjie and Tang Qian were taking care of the children, keeping Grandma Qi company, and talking with Old Man Qi.

Aunt Liu beamed and said, "Sweetie, Yingjie, it's summer vacation, so stay a little longer. In another half month, it will be Daniu's wedding day. Come and drink the wedding wine before you leave."

"Oh, it's settled?" Liang Hongyu asked with a smile. "Although that young man only has an elderly father, he's really good to Da Niu. Besides, they both teach at Qijia Elementary School and have settled down in our Qijia Village. It would be nice to bring his father over so he can be with you."

Aunt Liu nodded and said, "Yes, we didn't agree at first, but the two children get along well, and we elders can't bring ourselves to break them up. Besides, the boy is indeed a good person, and his father is reasonable. We are an old family, and we can't be unreasonable, so we agreed."

He Tiantian listened, completely confused, and asked with a smile, "Girl, is your boyfriend really that good to you?"

"Yes, he's really good to me," Qi Danu said with a smile. "He could have stayed in the city, but he came to Qi Family Primary School with me. I'm very grateful. His mother passed away early, and he only has his father, who is a very good person. We've been working for a few years and have enough money to build a house in Qi Family Village, so we decided to get married."

"Congratulations, girl," He Tiantian said with a smile. "The kids from Qi Family Elementary School are about to start junior high. Are all these kids going to the county town?"

"Thank you, Sister Tiantian," Qi Daniu said with a smile. "I'm now the headmaster because of my outstanding teaching. The school is currently applying to open a junior high school, and Uncle Qi has been going to the county town to handle the paperwork. When school starts, it will be voluntary. Whoever wants to stay at Qi Family Middle School can stay, and whoever doesn't want to can be sent to study in the county town."

“I heard that Qijia Elementary School has excellent academic performance, even better than schools in the county town. It might be great to open a junior high school there as well,” He Tiantian said with a smile. “We don’t have anything else, but we’re donating 50,000 yuan worth of books.”

Upon hearing this, Qi Xiaoyan said, "Okay, I'll donate 50,000 as well."

Once you've earned money, you shouldn't hoard it. You should use it to do good deeds, help others, and accumulate blessings for your own family.

Qi Zhengmin smiled and said, "Then I'll also donate 50,000 yuan worth of books. By the way, is that enough money for building the school?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Daniu laughed and said, "That's enough. There are two factories in the village. Every year, a portion of their profits is handed over to the county and distributed to the villagers. If we build a school, we'll hand over less and distribute less to the villagers."

"Okay, that's good." He Tiantian praised, "Big girl, you're really amazing. Keep up the good work, and become the principal of Qijia Village School in the future."

Qi Daniu nodded and said, "Yes, yes, that's my goal. By the way, Sister Tiantian, how long can you stay here? I really hope you can attend my wedding. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today."

"Sure!" He Tiantian smiled. "Of course I'll attend your wedding. I didn't know beforehand, otherwise I could have prepared a gift for you. Now I can only take some time to go to the city to see it."

"Sister Tiantian, it's enough that you're here; nothing else matters," Qi Daniu said with a smile, feeling extremely grateful to He Tiantian, a gratitude she would cherish for a lifetime.

Hearing Qi Daniu's words, He Tiantian carefully looked at Qi Daniu. She had grown into a qualified people's teacher and a beautiful young woman, no longer the naive girl she used to be.

Aunt Liu and Liang Hongyu went to clean the fish and meat, while Qi Daniu, Qi Zhengmin, Qi Xiaoyan, and He Tiantian were picking vegetables together.

"Hey girl, tell me, what's been going on in the village lately?" He Tiantian asked with a smile, glancing slyly at Qi Daniu, eager to hear the gossip the village gossip was spreading.

Qi Daniu usually has to attend classes and maintain her composure, so she rarely gossips in front of others. But she doesn't have so many restrictions when she's with He Tiantian.

“Big girl, tell me, we don’t tell anyone else.” Qi Xiaoyan was also curious. Her family didn’t tell her about things in the village, so she didn’t know much about it and couldn’t satisfy her gossipy heart.

Although Qi Zhengmin did not make any demands, her eyes betrayed her eagerness as she stared curiously at Qi Daniu.

"Actually, things are alright in the village. With Uncle Qi in charge, those with ulterior motives can't take advantage of us," Qi Daniu laughed. "Everyone's busy making money and living a good life, so no one's committing any crimes. The biggest problem is that Accountant Qi's daughter, Qi Zhenzhen, took her twin sons to the city to find Li Mingkai, but Li Mingkai didn't want to acknowledge them. However, Qi Zhenzhen is quite formidable. She made a scene at Li Mingkai's workplace and also at that woman's workplace, and wrote complaint letters every few days. After venting her anger, Qi Zhenzhen took the children back to the village."

"And then?" He Tiantian asked, thinking of how Qi Xiaoyan could only jump into the river in her previous life, and then looking at Qi Zhenzhen, she was really something else. If you don't let me have a good life, I won't let you have a good life either!

Qi Xiaoyan was also very concerned.

"Then Li Mingkai got criticized at work, and as for that woman, she probably didn't fare well either. A while ago, Li Mingkai came to Qi Zhenzhen's workplace, hoping she would explain that it was just a simple marital quarrel and that he hadn't been having an affair. But Qi Zhenzhen didn't believe him and chased him away with a broom. Divorce was out of the question; she kept him hanging on. She would cause a scene whenever she had the chance, and write complaint letters whenever she didn't. Li Mingkai slunk away." Qi Daniu whispered, "Although Qi Zhenzhen isn't a great person, it's quite impressive that she's so strong as a woman."

“Yes!” He Tiantian exclaimed in admiration, “Qi Zhenzhen did the right thing by picking up a broom and chasing away the unfaithful man for the sake of her child and family. It’s better to be alone than to be with a man like that!”

"After that, Li Mingkai came with his family, wanting to take Qi Zhenzhen and her two children away. If it were before, Accountant Qi wouldn't have stopped them, but she knew Li Mingkai was unreliable. If they took them away, they'd be so far away, and she couldn't protect her daughter, grandson, and granddaughter. She directly cursed, 'That Li Mingkai is our family's live-in son-in-law! These are my grandson and granddaughter! They're not going anywhere! Even if they divorce, they're still Qi family's offspring, not just surnamed Li!'" Qi Daniu said. "That time it caused a huge scene!"
