Secretary Qi followed Niu Peng to the office of Director Wu, who was in charge of the matter.
Director Wu delivered a passionate and eloquent speech at the meeting, but no one was willing to take the initiative to support him. He was humiliated and lost face in front of his colleagues.
Now, Niu Peng has brought a village party secretary with him, apparently wanting to invite experts to the village to assess the soil conditions. If it's suitable, they'll contract out the experiment to him.
"Comrade Niu, Comrade Qi, you are both good comrades and good Party members!" Director Wu said. "Since you are so enthusiastic, the organization will not refuse you. I will go and tell the expert group later that their first stop is Qijia Village in Taoyuan County."
"Thank you very much, Director Wu," said Secretary Qi. "We will definitely cooperate and achieve results as soon as possible."
Director Wu also affirmed Niu Peng's work and praised him highly, giving him a higher regard for this good comrade who supported his work.
As Niu Peng and Secretary Qi emerged from Director Wu's office, they were overjoyed. Whether this matter succeeded or not, it would benefit both Taoyuan County and Qijia Village.
In the afternoon, Secretary Qi asked He Tiantian to go home together.
He Tiantian bid a reluctant farewell to her parents, feeling extremely reluctant to part.
“Sweet girl, don’t be sad. Your parents will be arriving at our Qijia Village tomorrow,” Secretary Qi said. “Since you’ll see them again tomorrow, why be so upset? You’re making your parents sad too.”
"Ah!" He Tiantian exclaimed in surprise, "Really? My parents are going to Qijia Village tomorrow?"
"Yes, Director Wu said it himself," Secretary Qi said with a smile. "I hope the soil in our village is suitable for you to grow fruit."
He Tiantian smiled and said, "Do your best and leave the rest to fate! If we seize the opportunity and work hard, we won't regret it even if the conditions aren't right. If we do nothing and wait for others to make big money, it will be too late for us to regret it."
"You're right, if you've tried your best, you won't regret it," Secretary Qi said with a smile. "Young people are really amazing; we can't even keep up with Sweetie anymore."
“That’s right! Tian Tian’s parents are both educated people, so they’re naturally smart,” Zhao Hongying said. “If fruit trees could be planted on those barren hills, our village would benefit the most.”
Secretary Qi, Zhao Hongying, and Qi Shugen are all people who want the village to prosper because they are villagers of Qijia Village and have lived there for generations, so they all support this matter!
It was already noon when they arrived in Taoyuan County. Secretary Qi took them to Niu Lili's place for lunch, and then they went to the place where the oxcarts were stored and drove the oxcarts home.
As soon as Secretary Qi returned to the village, he didn't even have time to rest. He immediately called a meeting of the village cadres and began a village-wide mobilization!
He Tiantian rushed home to tell Grandma Qi that her parents were coming to Qijia Village the next day.
Grandma Qi was overjoyed to hear this and laughed repeatedly, "Oh, that's wonderful! Yingjie just left, and now your parents are here too. I pray to God that our village is suitable for growing fruit, so your parents can stay here permanently. From now on, this house will not only have you, my source of joy, but also your parents to keep me entertained!"
"Yes, let us take good care of you and be filial to you." He Tiantian said with a smile, so that she could accompany her parents and Grandma Qi San in the future.
Grandma Qi was naturally happy; the more lively the house was, the better.
The next morning, Grandma Qi woke He Tiantian up and they tidied up the house together.
The weather was perfect today, so I took the mats out of the house, wiped them with hot water, and aired them out. I also gave the house a thorough cleaning, making sure it was spotless inside and out. When it was time to get to work, He Tiantian had to go.
Grandma Qi was not idle at home either. She prepared some things to entertain He Jingyu and Wang Shuping well that evening!
Experts He Jingyu and Wang Shuping, along with a male assistant named Xiao Wang, arrived at Qijia Village under the guidance of Niu Peng.
After a bumpy journey, the couple arrived exhausted. After having dinner at Secretary Qi's house, they asked Liang Hongyu to take them directly to Grandma Qi's house. The couple stayed at Grandma Qi's house, while their assistant Xiao Wang, Niu Peng, and Niu Peng's secretary stayed at Secretary Qi's house.
He Tiantian, Grandma Qi has been waiting at home, she hasn't even had dinner yet!
"Sweetie, your parents are here." Liang Hongyu called out to He Tiantian in the yard before she even entered the house.
He Tiantian rushed out to open the door and saw her parents standing there. She exclaimed happily, "Mom and Dad..."
Wang Shuping smiled and said, "Silly child!"
Liang Hongyu smiled and said to He Tiantian, "Tiantian, your parents have been traveling all day and must be very tired. Don't chat too late, go back and rest."
"Yes, thank you, Aunt Liang," He Tiantian said gratefully. "I understand."
He Tiantian could clearly see the exhaustion on her parents' faces.
"Alright, I won't go in. There are still people at home. You're all family, so I won't say anything more," Liang Hongyu said, then turned and left.
He Tiantian welcomed her parents in, saying, "Grandma is also waiting for you!"
He Jingyu and Wang Shuping quickly came over and bowed to Grandma Qi!
Grandma Qi was pleased to see the couple and said, "Alright, no need for formalities. You must be tired. Go wash up and go back to your room to sleep. We can talk about it tomorrow. Anyway, soil analysis isn't a simple matter. There's plenty of time."
"Then, godmother, you should get some rest too." He Jingyu smiled. They could stay in Taoyuan County for three days, and then they would go to other places in Taoyuan County.
He Tiantian led her parents to the room and told them to go to the bathroom to rest. In the bathroom, He Tiantian put a large basin of hot water.
A little while later, the couple finished washing up, put on their pajamas, and wanted to chat with He Tiantian and Grandma Qi, but were quickly told to go back to bed.
After tidying up the house, He Tiantian returned to her room, feeling excited.
The Snake King's voice came from the barrier space, saying, "Your parents have come. Are you happy?"
"Of course, they want to support rural development. If the land in Qijia Village meets the requirements, I'll be able to see my parents more often in the future," He Tiantian said with a smile. Being able to be with her parents was something she had always dreamed of, and she didn't care if she didn't go back to Nanshi!
The Snake King chuckled and said, "Fortunately, I underwent tribulation before, and so much spiritual energy nourished the land of Qi Family Village. Therefore, even wild grass can grow lush and verdant in Qi Family Village."
"It's exactly what I guessed! I thought so too. With the Snake King around, miracles happen all the time." He Tiantian was overjoyed. Before, it was all just her guess, but now she heard the Snake King's accurate statement, making her even happier!
"Of course," the Snake King said proudly. He Tiantian's few words of praise gave the Snake King confidence.
