The achievements of Qijia Village were all the result of his hard work, and he couldn't let Qi Shuli benefit from them. Therefore, he was willing to be promoted no matter what.
Qi Shuli wanted to transfer Qi Dazhu through his in-laws, County Party Secretary Zhang, so that he could rightfully become the village Party secretary.
Qijia Village is now a place with both peach orchards and factories, making it very lucrative.
Qi Shuli had a good plan, but Secretary Qi wasn't fooled. The other party didn't even look at it and wasn't willing to go.
Qi Shuli was bedridden for several days, his efforts were in vain, and he gained nothing, so he continued to work as the village accountant.
Huo Yingjie could vaguely guess the real reason, but he also understood Secretary Qi's thoughts.
"Actually, Qijia Village is quite good. Now, if word gets out, everyone will give you a thumbs up!" Huo Yingjie said. It's truly rare for a village party secretary to be like Secretary Qi.
"Hehe, you flatter me," Secretary Qi said modestly, but his expression was quite smug.
With increased income in the village and a lower birth rate, life is naturally getting better and better.
After chatting for a while, He Tiantian said goodbye, worried that the two children would wake up and she would go home to take care of them.
Huo Yingjie was drinking with Secretary Qi and didn't go home until 9 p.m.
Huo Yingjie had drunk quite a bit and was tipsy, his face slightly flushed.
When he drinks, Huo Yingjie talks more than usual and often giggles. He also steals a kiss from He Tiantian when she's not paying attention.
"Alright, it's getting late. Go take a shower, I'll get you some clothes," He Tiantian said. "Brush your teeth properly, your breath smells like alcohol."
"Give me a kiss and I'll come," Huo Yingjie said with a smile, a bit roguish, but also somewhat cute.
Seeing Huo Yingjie like this, He Tiantian really wanted to hug him and ravage him, to torture him.
"If I don't kiss you, will you not wash?" He Tiantian asked back, teasing Huo Yingjie. This side of Huo Yingjie was quite rare.
Huo Yingjie nodded seriously, then said in a coquettish tone, "Okay, I won't wash it!"
"If you're not going to wash, then you can sleep on the floor." He Tiantian pushed Huo Yingjie away and refused to kiss him.
Huo Yingjie was displeased. He grabbed He Tiantian, hugged her tightly, and said, "You're not allowed to dislike me. Kiss me, love me, hurry up!"
After saying that, he ignored He Tiantian's displeasure and gave her a passionate kiss.
He Tiantian tried to dodge, but she was no match for Huo Yingjie's strength and had no choice but to accept it.
The strong smell of alcohol in Huo Yingjie's mouth made He Tiantian feel somewhat intoxicated, her face flushed slightly.
Just as Huo Yingjie was about to go further, He Tiantian quickly pushed him away, saying, "Go wash up quickly, you're fuming the child."
"Hehe, okay." Huo Yingjie kissed him, so he was easy to talk to and took a towel to wash up.
He Tiantian took a vest and shorts and delivered them to Huo Yingjie.
When Huo Yingjie returned, He Tiantian was already asleep.
He Tiantian was exhausted from traveling these past two days, and Huo Yingjie, not wanting to bother her, gently held her as she slept.
When the child wakes up at night, Huo Yingjie is the first to get up and make formula, not letting He Tiantian get up.
Fortunately, the baby only needs to drink formula once at night, and as long as it is done in time, the baby will not cry.
The next morning, when He Tiantian woke up, she helped make breakfast.
Huo Yingjie dressed and washed the child, doing it quite professionally.
Grandma Qi and Old Man Qi looked at each other when they saw Huo Yingjie like this, and saw satisfaction in each other's eyes.
A man who loves his wife and children will love his family.
Upon arriving at Qijia Village, He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie took the children to play on the mountain, letting them enjoy the scenery.
He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie each carried a baby basket, the kind specially designed for carrying children. The basket has a seating area inside, where the child is placed and secured with ropes. This way, the child can not only sit inside but also enjoy the scenery from their parents' backs.
"Mom...Mom..." There was a brightly colored pheasant in front of her, and Huo Ruimin, with her chubby little finger, kept pointing at it and calling for her mother, hoping that her mother would help her catch it.
Huo Ruimin's voice startled Huo Ruihua, who was dozing off, and he shouted back, "Dad... Dad..."
That means I hope Dad will hurry up and catch it for me.
Huo Yingjie took a small stone in his hand and flicked it hard. The pheasant that was running away lay down on the ground and stopped moving.
Qi Danu excitedly picked it up, but Huo Ruimin and Huo Ruihua, seeing the pretty thing, didn't move. They were extremely aggrieved, pouting and wailing, "Waaah..."
This means they're tired of playing it because they think it's no longer fun once it's killed and the monster is no longer moving.
"Sister Tian, what's wrong with them?" Qi Daniu asked, puzzled. They clearly wanted it a moment ago, but now that it's been returned, why are they crying?
He Tiantian smiled and said, "Hehe, they want to live."
Huo Yingjie was also innocent; he hadn't expected his child to make so many demands.
"Haha, so that's how it is," Qi Daniu said. "Brother-in-law Huo, hurry up and catch another one, otherwise these two little ones will keep crying."
He Tiantian smiled, took out a White Rabbit candy from her pocket, bit it in half, put one half into Huo Ruimin's mouth, and the other half into Huo Ruihua's mouth.
Sure enough, the two little ones immediately stopped crying.
"Sister Tian, aren't you afraid the child will choke?" Qi Daniu asked, a little worried because half a piece of candy isn't small.
"No, they eat like this all the time," He Tiantian said. Besides, she has an all-around amazing husband and father by her side, so she doesn't need to worry about these things.
With the candy, the two children stopped crying. Their mouths were puffed out, and they kept moving their mouths, their wet eyes looking around.
"Sister Tian, your two children are so cute." Qi Daniu praised them. She had taken care of her younger brother and sister, who used to cry a lot and were very annoying when they were little.
"Hehe, having kids is adorable, but they can also be a nuisance when they're being noisy," Tian Tian said with a smile. In fact, kids bring a lot of joy.
Taking care of children is more tiring than housework, but it is precisely because of this that you can experience the joy and hardship of being a parent.
They took a walk around the mountain and collected a lot of wild vegetables, which they planned to cook when they got back at noon.
Huo Yingjie had a very fruitful trip to the mountain. He caught two big fish in the water flowing from the underground river with a stick. He made fish head soup for lunch and also braised fish chunks.
If Qi Daniu wasn't around, He Tiantian would go and check out the cave.
Since the Snake King left, He Tiantian hasn't been there and doesn't know what's happening inside now.
At night, He Tiantian tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
"What's wrong?" Huo Yingjie asked, glancing at his watch; it was past midnight.
He Tiantian sighed and said, "Alas, it's been over a year since the Snake King left. I wonder how he's doing in the demon realm, whether he's found his family, and whether he's truly become a king?"
So that's why He Tiantian couldn't sleep!
"Hehe, don't worry. Although it was very dangerous for him to undergo the tribulation, it was also an opportunity for his power to increase greatly," Huo Yingjie said. "The fact that the little spirit snake could withstand the Nine Heavens Profound Thunder proves that it has enough ability."
Hearing Huo Yingjie's words, He Tiantian nodded slightly, believing that Huo Yingjie would not deceive her.
