The brigade leader looked at Su Tian excitedly and said with a smile, "Su Qingqing, thank you so much. On behalf of the villagers of Songjia Village, I thank you."
"You're too kind, Captain," Su Tian replied with a smile.
"Brother Village Chief, Brother Team Leader, it's getting dark. If you're busy, you should go back now."
We're about to leave now. Thank you all for gracing us with your presence and having dinner at the cowshed today.
"Brother Chen, you're too kind. We'll be going now."
"Alright, take care." Chen Tingjing smiled as he saw them out of the cowshed.
After the village chief and the brigade leader had walked away, the brigade leader couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, is our village really going to get telephones?"
“Nephew, yes, I believe what they say. Su Zhiqing’s father must be someone important.”
I'd heard from your aunt before that her dad was the governor's secretary; after all these years, he should have been promoted by now."
"Her father is so powerful?" the captain asked curiously.
"Yes, this Su educated youth has been in our village for so many years. He has always been very low-key and hardworking. No wonder he comes from a cadre family."
"I thought her family was just that of working-class children, I never imagined her family was so powerful."
"Of course, I heard Su Tian mention it before, that if her dad were to rise through the ranks, he'd become the governor of Guangdong Province," Liu Chunni said mysteriously.
"Governor? Isn't that higher than a secretary?"
"Yeah, isn't that amazing?"
"Impressive, this Su educated youth is so humble," the brigade leader said admiringly.
"Hehe, good nephew, no need to be envious, he has the ability."
"Let's hurry, it's getting dark," the village chief said cheerfully.
Over at the cowshed, the women were tidying up the table.
Su Jianjun wanted to help wash the dishes, but Su Tian wouldn't let him, saying, "Dad, go and talk to Grandpa and Uncle."
"Great, my daughter is so filial."
Wang Shao then spoke up, "Xiu'er, come here and formally introduce yourself to your aunt and uncle."
"Hello, Uncle and Aunt," Wang Xiu greeted them with a smile.
"Wang Xiu, right? He's quite handsome." Su Jianjun patted him on the shoulder.
After Su Tian and the others finished their work, it was almost 7 p.m.
"Mom and Dad, let's go back to the educated youth settlement first. I've already made the bed."
"Alright, it's so late, let your Grandpa Chen and the others wash up and get some rest."
"Commander, sister-in-law, elder brother and sister-in-law, we're leaving now. See you tomorrow."
"Okay, Jianjun, you should go back soon."
So, Su Tian pushed her bicycle and took her parents with her, and the three of them returned to the educated youth settlement together.
"Mom and Dad, we've arrived. This is where I lived in the countryside for several years."
“Girl, your place looks much better than other places. I heard that other places are all thatched huts.”
"Yes, Mom, I'm living here quite well. I've always lived alone."
"Mom and Dad, come in. This is my room; there are four beds."
"Okay, Mom and Dad will stay here with you tonight."
"Mom, you sleep with me, and let Dad sleep alone."
"Dad, will you agree?"
Su Tian looked at Su Jianjun teasingly, and Su Jianjun patted her head, "Dad promises, Dad will agree to whatever you want."
"It's just sleeping with your mom, what's so difficult about that?"
"That's not true. I don't get to sleep with you often, but I get to sleep with your dad a lot more often."
"Honey, where are you boiling water? Your dad and I need to wash up too."
"I can burn it here; you don't need to."
Su Tian skillfully started a fire to boil water. After the water boiled, her parents washed up briefly.
The next morning, Su Tian's parents packed their things and went to the cowshed.
Chen Tingjing had packed his luggage early in the morning and was sitting at the door waiting for Su Tian and the others to arrive.
"Commander, why are you up so early?"
"Grandpa Chen."
"Being older means needing less sleep, so get up early and get ready."
"Is Grandma Chen busy inside?" Su Tian asked curiously without looking at anyone.
"No, she's sitting inside."
"Sir, I'll go see my brother first, and we'll travel together in the car later."
"Okay, go ahead."
Half an hour later, a car slowly drove up to the entrance of the cowshed.
"Sir, the car has arrived. Is there anything else we need to pack?"
"Jianjun, that's all. Everything's packed up. I'll say goodbye to my brother and then I'll leave."
After Chen Tingjing finished speaking, he walked up to the water buffalo and gently stroked its head. "Brother, I have to go now. I'll come back to see you again when I have time."
As if it understood, the water buffalo stared at Chen Tingjing with its round, bulging eyes.
Chen Tingjing knew it understood, so he could only reluctantly say goodbye to it.
At this moment, Wang Xiu and his family also came out, greeted each other, and got into the car.
Su Jianjun helped put the luggage in the trunk, opened the car door, and let the leader and his wife get into the car.
He walked up to Su Tian and patted her head. "Daughter, your parents and Grandpa Chen are leaving soon. Take good care of yourself."
"If you need anything, just call. When I get to town, I'll arrange for someone to come to the village to install a phone."
"Yes, daughter, if you're unhappy in the village, ask your dad for help. I'll have him help you go back to the city."
"Mom and Dad, don't worry, I will take good care of myself and my uncle."
If I'm unhappy, I'll ask you for help. Please get in the car; it's getting late.
So, Su Tian's parents got into the car, and the sedan slowly drove along the village road.
Songjia Village was immediately in an uproar, with everyone discussing it and wondering who Su Tian's parents were and how they could ride in a car.
"Su, who are your parents? How come Old Man Chen from the cowshed needs your parents to pick him up after he's been exonerated and returned to the city? And they even have a car?" Ma Dazui asked, leaning closer to Su Tian.
"Both my parents work in a company. My dad used to be in the army."
Grandpa Chen was his superior, and knowing that he had been exonerated, he came to take him home.
"Wow, your dad is really loyal and righteous, well done!" Ma Dazui gave him a thumbs up in admiration.
Everyone present heard their conversation, and suddenly, Su Tian became the focus of the village once again.
"Su Tian, have your parents left?" Liu Chunni rushed over.
"They just left. I boiled ten eggs here, and I was thinking of giving them to your parents to eat on their way."
"Aunt Chunni, thank you so much. My parents went to town and had breakfast at the state-run restaurant before leaving."
"Take these eggs back with your family. There are so many people in your family, so it's just right for each person to have two." Su Tian explained patiently.
"Then I'll give you two, you can take them and eat them, and I'll take the rest back."
"Okay, take it back quickly. Your little grandson might be standing at the door waiting for you to come back."
"Haha, okay, I'll head back now."
"Okay, goodbye Aunt Chunni." Su Tian waved with a smile.
