The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 1235 - 123 A Place Where the Mind Rejoices

Thus, the old people and children’s travel group was established, splitting into two groups, heading straight for Taoyuan County, Qijia Village.

Bai Qiongyu and Wang Shuping took the children on a plane, flying directly to Huai City. As for He Jingyu, he stayed in Yanjing, discussing domestic and international economic situations with Huo Zhekun, in preparation for future investments.

He Jingyu’s visit this time was partly to celebrate Huo Zhekun’s promotion, and partly to look for more investment opportunities in the country.

Huo Zhekun explained the domestic situation to He Jingyu, and He Jingyu informed Huo Zhekun about the international context, both benefiting greatly from each other’s knowledge, acquiring new insights for future investments or work.

Once He Jingyu had finished his business here, he would go to Qijia Village to join his mother.

Bai Qiongyu and others arrived first, and Secretary Qi had sent a car to pick them up.

Upon disembarking from the plane, they were driven directly back to Qijia Village.

Third Grandma Qi, hearing that her old sisters were coming, was very happy and waited at the village entrance early on.

Third Grandma Qi liked to carry some candies in her pockets, and whenever she saw children, she would give them some, which is why the village children would follow when they saw Third Grandma Qi come out.

When Bai Qiongyu got off the car, she saw Third Grandma Qi sitting on a rock narrating stories to the children, who were munching on candies.

"Sister Qi," Bai Qiongyu hastened her steps, not having seen each other for several years, everyone had aged.

Third Grandma Qi smiled and said, "I’ve finally waited for you guys. Kids, go back now. Oh, and don’t take things from strangers, you know?"

"We know, Third Great-grandma," the children responded and scattered noisily.

"Sister Qi is still so kind, the children all love you," Bai Qiongyu said with a smile, linking arms with Third Grandma Qi, "It’s been such a long time since we sisters have met, let’s have a good chat."

"Yes, although we write to each other regularly, it’s not as good as meeting in person," Third Grandma Qi said. "Everything at home is ready; by the way, you mentioned the Huo family and Tang family are coming too?"

"They aren’t accustomed to flying and are coming by train; Tiantian is looking after them on the train. I’m used to flying; I can’t handle a train ride that lasts a day and a night, so I came over with the children first," explained Bai Qiongyu. "Let’s gather now and gather again when they arrive."

"Oh my, don’t the children need to go to school?" Third Grandma Qi asked, it wasn’t holiday season.

Wang Shuping said with a smile, "The children have good grades, and taking a leave for a trip won’t disturb their studies, so Tiantian and Yingjie directly requested leave for the kids."

"Hehe, they can pull it off," laughed Third Grandma Qi. "Those children especially love coming here, every time they come, they don’t want to go back."

"Yes, I’ve also heard Tiantian mention that," said Bai Qiongyu. "This time, I want to stay for a longer period."

"That’s not a problem," Third Grandma Qi said. "Tonight I will take you to the hot springs; I guarantee you’ll sleep well and eat well!"

Huo Ruimin and Huo Ruihua were explaining and introducing Qijia Village to Huo Ruixiang and Huo Jian.

It was Huo Ruixiang and Huo Jian’s first visit, and they were very curious about the place.

From the moment they entered the village, they could smell the refreshing scent in the air, invigorating them and seemingly capable of purging unhealthy elements from their bodies.

Just a short distance of a few dozen meters made them fall in love with the place.

The green trees on both sides gently swayed, with small flowers scattered on the ground, blooming profusely.

On the antique-style street, it was indeed interesting, seeing many people riding rickshaws, sparking curiosity and eagerness to try.

Finally, Wang Shuping said, "Let’s go home and rest first, and take everyone out for fun tomorrow."

There are only a few people at home right now, and we can’t take so many kids.

"Yes, yes." Huo Ruixiang nodded, "Grandma He, I understand, tomorrow when everyone arrives, we’ll all go out together for fun."

"There are so many people on the street, I’m worried you guys might get lost," Wang Shuping explained. "Besides, you all got up early in the morning and have hardly eaten anything for lunch. After getting back, eat something, wash up and go to bed, then we can have a good time tomorrow."

Worried the children might be unhappy, Wang Shuping patiently talked with them.

He Doudou nodded and said, "Understood mom, I will take good care of my nephews."

Huo Ruixiang wrinkled his nose, thinking - Isn’t he the older one, anyway?

In the evening, Third Grandma Qi took her old sisters to soak in the hot springs while the children didn’t need to and went to sleep after dinner.

When He Tiantian and her group arrived the next day, it was already eleven in the morning.

Fortunately, the train stopped in Taoyuan County, and it only took an hour’s drive to reach Qijia Village.

With so many people arriving, Third Grandma Qi’s house was packed full.

Even the children had no rooms; they simply set up a sleeping area on the floor in a large room, saving three rooms. Huo Ruimin and Huo Xuanxuan, being girls, shared one room, and He Tiantian squeezed in with them, just barely fitting.

After lunch, everyone took a nap and then Third Grandma Qi took them to soak in the hot springs again.

Regardless of who visits, the treatment is inevitably soaking in the hot springs.

He Tiantian also liked the hot springs here, as did several elderly people. If they didn’t soak daily, they felt uncomfortable all over. They often had discomforts in their arms or legs, but not unbearable enough to take medicine.

After soaking for several days, they found their discomforts were alleviated, even gone.

It was a surprisingly delightful benefit, making them love the hot springs even more.

Qi Zhengmin, when Tang Qian finished his tasks, also came.

He Tiantian then cleared out another room for them, really maxing out the space.

"How long can you stay here?" He Tiantian asked as she helped spread the bedding.

"Me and Tang Qian can only stay for a week, then we’ll leave the kids here and go back to Yanjing," Qi Zhengmin said smilingly, reassured by the presence of the grandparents and security guard.

In this way, she could spend some quality time alone with Tang Qian.

"That’s good, I have vacation time and can help with the kids," He Tiantian said. "The kids have a two-week holiday, then we’ll head back."

Qi Zhengmin smiled and said, "You see those elderly folks, they all love soaking in the hot springs. I think two weeks might not be enough for them."

"Haha, you might be right, perhaps," He Tiantian said, "I heard that soaking in the hot springs makes them feel very comfortable. If that’s the case, they could stay here longer."

"Right, that would be quite good. Anyways, I think this place’s winter is much better than Yanjing’s," Qi Zhengmin said, "Yanjing is really too cold, though we have heating at home, it’s still freezing outside, making me want to keep my head tucked in all day."

"Yes, but I’m already used to it," He Tiantian said. "It has distinct seasons all year round."
