The Sweetness of the Seventies

509

On the train, through the windows, the scenery on both sides of the railway line kept receding rapidly.

He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie sat on the berth, looking at the trees outside and talking quietly.

What a coincidence, He Tiantian met Zhang Runan who was attending the labor conference.

"Aunt Zhang, I didn't expect to meet you again here." When He Tiantian went out to use the toilet, she saw Zhang Runan next door.

Zhang Runan was also very happy to see He Tiantian.

She and He Tiantian met by chance, and later became more familiar with each other through Niu Dajun and Qi Xiaoyan. Now, because of He Tiantian, they found their elder who had been living outside for decades.

"Tiantian, are you getting on the bus from Nanshi?" Zhang Runan held He Tiantian's hand and refused to let go. Ouch, such a good girl, why didn't she fall in love with her son?

Because of his son, Zhang Runan also knew He Tiantian's parents.

Regardless of family background or appearance, it is rare to find a suitable match!

However, He Tiantian was engaged and had no feelings for her son.

"Yes! I have something to do and I went back to my hometown." He Tiantian chuckled, "You must be attending the commendation meeting again, right?"

Zhang Runan is also a talented person, and he knows various tractor technologies at his fingertips. Therefore, he is a model worker in the factory every year, and he also represents the majority of workers in Huai City to attend meetings in Yanjing.

"Yes, it's all under the leadership's care." Zhang Runan said with a smile, "Are you the only one? Where are your parents?"

"My father went home first. This time I will go back with my partner to visit my parents." He Tiantian smiled, just as Huo Yingjie came out, "Brother Yingjie, come here."

Huo Yingjie smiled and walked over.

"Tiantian, have you met an elder you know?" Huo Yingjie asked softly, politely.

"Yes, this is Captain Qi's mother, Zhang Runan, a national model worker." He Tiantian introduced, "Aunt Zhang, this is my partner, Huo Yingjie."

The moment Huo Yingjie appeared, Zhang Runan knew that his son had no hope at all.

Huo Yingjie's demeanor, appearance, and relationship with He Tiantian's childhood sweetheart are not comparable to his son.

However, the son, in order to pursue and wait for He Tiantian, delayed getting married.

When he returns home later, Zhang Runan must let his son meet Huo Yingjie and make him give up completely.

"Hello, you're a woman, you're awesome." Huo Yingjie praised, stretching out his right hand.

Zhang Runan smiled and said: "Excellent! You are a young and talented man with a handsome appearance. I am honored to meet you. When you get married, you must send me an invitation. I will definitely go to your wedding."

He Tiantian's face turned red and she was a little embarrassed.

Huo Yingjie smiled heartily and said: "Definitely, definitely!"

"Okay, you go back and rest first. Standing all the time is tiring." Zhang Runan said. After all, this is the aisle. Standing here all the time will delay the people passing by. Furthermore, there were other people in their small private room, so it was not easy to invite He Tiantian in to sit.

"Okay, let's meet again when we get to Huai City." He Tiantian said politely, and took Huo Yingjie back to his seat.

When it was time to eat, He Tiantian brought the scallion pancakes she made.

Zhang Runan also gave He Tiantian a few eggs and was very friendly and polite.

If you take the train alone, it will feel like a long time, but now with Huo Yingjie, you can sleep peacefully when you are tired; when you wake up, the two young people whisper their love and interesting stories.

The train stopped in Nanshi. Before getting off the train, Zhang Runan said, "Tiantian, come and sit at my house. After dinner, I will find a car to take you back to Qijia Village."

He Tiantian knew that this was Zhang Runan's courtesy, so she didn't take it seriously. She smiled and said, "I won't go for the time being. Aunt Zhang, you are tired too. Go home and rest quickly."

"Okay, please be careful and play at home when you have time." Zhang Runan said politely, and then got out of the car.

However, after returning home, Zhang Runan will definitely arrange for his son to go to Qijia Village to meet He Tiantian's partner and make him give up.

The sooner she gives up, the sooner she can start a new relationship, the sooner she gets married and has children, the sooner she can have grandchildren.

After seeing off Zhang Runan, He Tiantian felt happy and said, "It's almost time. In two hours, we can reach Taoyuan County."

"Okay." Huo Yingjie smiled, "I can't wait too."

There are more people getting off the bus in Huaishi.

All the passengers in He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie's small room left, leaving only the two of them.

"Hot soup, hot vegetables, rice..." It's lunch time, and the dining car comes over.

He Tiantian quickly pushed Huo Yingjie away and said with a blushing face, "I'm hungry."

Because he had finished eating the dry food, He Tiantian bought vegetables, rice, and egg soup.

By the time we finish eating, wash our lunch boxes, and pack our things, it's already one o'clock.

Today's train was late, and by the time they got off, it was already 2:30 in the afternoon.

He Tiantian was carrying a crossbody bag and holding some scattered things in her hand. The large package was all on Huo Yingjie, weighing a hundred kilograms.

At first, He Tiantian was worried that Huo Yingjie couldn't carry it, but Huo Yingjie could pick it up with one hand, so she kept letting him carry it.

He Tiantian often travels between the county seat and Qijia Village, so she went directly to the oxcart, the old man introduced to He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie by Niu Lili.

Seeing He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie, Old Man Liu said, "Sweet girl, your partner is here to see you again."

"Yeah." He Tiantian smiled, "Grandpa Liu, I can't wait to go home. When can I leave?"

"We can leave right away." Old Liu smiled, drank a big bowl of tea, took the whip, and walked to the ox cart.

After getting on the ox cart, Old Liu whipped the whip.

Because the road was well repaired, the speed of the ox cart was much faster than before.

"Grandpa Liu, you drive the ox cart well. Now that the road is repaired, how long does it take to go back and forth between Qijia Village and the county town?" He Tiantian asked, chatting with people one by one.

Old Liu was bored driving the cart, and he was familiar with the road. Seeing He Tiantian chatting with him, he smiled and said, "I am very familiar with the road, and my ox cart is relatively strong and light. It will take less than two hours to reach your Qijia Village."
