Back to the 80s: A Beloved Marriage
The various happenings in Willow Leaf Village had little to do with Zhao Jin. Although Zhao Jin had heard about them, she always forgot them after hearing, never taking them to heart.
In her mind, compared to those external matters, her own family was far more important. For example, Qi Rui was about to start school, and Hu Qiao'er was pregnant.
The news of Hu Qiao'er’s pregnancy truly surprised everyone and garnered significant attention.
The most delighted was undoubtedly Qi Feng. The most excited was Grandma Qi.
Grandma Qi naturally cherished her grandchildren. The three brothers of Qi Zheng were always filial and deeply loved by her.
However, upon hearing that Qi Feng would have a child, Grandma Qi's eyes turned red as she held Hu Qiao'er’s hand and repeatedly expressed her gratitude.
In contrast, Qi Lin's reaction was calm.
To be honest, he didn’t quite understand what all the elders were so excited about. Since his mother married his uncle and their relationship had always been good, wasn’t it just a matter of time before they had children? What was there to be surprised about?
His mother had already given birth to him; could she not have another brother or sister? Surely the Qijia Family didn’t think his mother would never have children again? What a joke!
Faced with Qi Lin's calmness, Zhao Jin endured for a while before finding an opportunity to pull Qi Lin aside.
There was no helping it; Qi Lin was just too obedient. At his age, he had a particularly strong opinion. Zhao Jin wasn’t sure if Hu Qiao'er’s pregnancy would upset Qi Lin or hurt his feelings.
"Well? That's great!" When asked about his thoughts on his mother being pregnant, Qi Lin's attitude was very composed. It was as casual as eating or drinking, completely ordinary.
Instead, it was Zhao Jin who was taken aback by this question.
So, Qi Lin really had no other opinions or thoughts? Was he sure that he had no grudges against the new younger brother or sister?
"That's great. In the future, I will help take care of my younger siblings and won't let my mom and uncle be too tired." There was no choice; there were too many money-making businesses at home. Qi Lin confidently patted his chest and said this to Zhao Jin.
Zhao Jin naturally did not think that Qi Lin was lying. The children raised in their family were all honest and obedient, kind and good-hearted, with upright characters. Zhao Jin firmly believed this.
Having confirmed that Qi Lin truly felt no displeasure, Zhao Jin couldn't help but feel that Qi Lin was even more endearing. Without hesitation, he praised Qi Lin enthusiastically. At the same time, he smiled and handed over the responsibility of taking care of the younger siblings to Qi Lin.
Qi Lin nodded very seriously, his expression particularly solemn and sincere.
Hearing this from Zhao Jin, Hu Qiao'er almost shed tears.
Before marrying Qi Feng, she had not been able to teach Qi Lin to be so considerate and understanding. Back then, Qi Lin was always particularly gloomy and sensitive. It was only after interacting with Guo Guo and Dou Dou, among other children, that Qi Lin truly became cheerful and confident.
It was the Qijia Family that changed the destinies of her and Qi Lin, bringing them new hope and happiness. The appearance of the Qijia Family became the most beautiful surprise in their lives. Being able to meet such a group of family members made Hu Qiao'er genuinely grateful and particularly honored.
"Hey, hey, Auntie, please don't cry. If Uncle sees you later, he'll think I'm bullying you while he's not around!" Knowing that Hu Qiao'er was moved, Zhao Jin joked while handing her a tissue.
Pregnant women shouldn't cry casually; it could affect prenatal education.
Amused by Zhao Jin's words, Hu Qiao'er sniffled and took the tissue: "Your uncle wouldn't think like that. He has always been most at ease with you and Qi Zheng."
"Rest assured, I definitely won't allow anyone to bully you," Hu Qiao'er said, and Zhao Jin naturally understood. However, at this moment, she had the important task of preventing Hu Qiao'er from continuing to cry, so she immediately continued to tease her.
"Alright, alright. Whatever you say, I won't compete with you," Hu Qiao'er replied, feeling both amused and helpless after being successfully teased by Zhao Jin. Her mood improved as she followed Zhao Jin's lead.
Zhao Jin didn't really intend to argue with Hu Qiao'er. Seeing her smile, she decided to drop the topic and instead talked about various details regarding pregnancy care.
Hu Qiao'er had given birth before, so she understood many things herself. However, being reminded by Zhao Jin about the important precautions still made her listen attentively, and she felt grateful for Zhao Jin's thoughtfulness.
After the storm comes the rainbow. For Qi Feng and Hu Qiao'er, their current love and happiness were perhaps the most genuine reflections of their lives!
Their happiness also affected those around them. As a result, Zhao Jin and the others were all smiling brightly and felt very motivated.
Watching the days get better one by one, Zhao Jin couldn't help but smile, her eyes filled with genuine joy.
This kind of life was something she never dared to imagine in her past life. But in reality, she now possessed the best happiness and family in this life. All of this was thanks to Qi Zheng.
It was Qi Zheng who created a different future for her, allowing her to enjoy a carefree life and continue to be happy.
When Qi Zheng returned home, he was greeted by Zhao Jin's radiant smile filled with happiness.
Seeing Zhao Jin like this made Qi Zheng feel relieved; his expression softened as a smile appeared on his face.
Compared to everything happening outside, what he wanted to protect most was Zhao Jin's smile. As long as he saw Zhao Jin's smiling face, it would warm his heart no matter when, unchanged through time.
After ten months of pregnancy, Hu Qiao'er successfully gave birth to a lovely princess. Qi Lin was absolutely delighted, staring at the princess without moving an inch.
Qi Feng was also very happy. Now he truly had both a son and a daughter, perfectly fulfilling the character "good," undoubtedly making him the happiest man.
The princess's Full Moon Celebration was specially held by Grandma Qi in Willow Leaf Village.
It was important to acknowledge the child's ancestry and let the relatives and fellow villagers in the village know about her existence. This return was imperative and particularly significant.
Previously, for various reasons, Hu Qiao'er had never been to Willow Leaf Village. However, this time, she was determined to go back.
Upon seeing Hu Qiao'er in person, the fellow villagers of Willow Leaf Village could only agree that Qi Feng was indeed fortunate to marry such a beautiful and graceful wife.
However, such good fortune was not something everyone could encounter. Moreover, they did not have the wealth or prosperity of the Qi Family...
Thus, the fellow villagers muttered a few words but did not discuss it further.
After all, when Qi Lin first appeared in Willow Leaf Village, everyone had already speculated about it. At this moment, bringing it up again would only diminish the initial curiosity.
Qi Feng naturally did not want to be the center of attention. Without the curious gazes of the fellow villagers, he felt much more relaxed and at ease.
Seeing that Qi Feng had even given birth to a daughter, Qi Erzhu and Cheng Fangfang could only feel regret and nothing more.
Being part of the Qijia Family, they found it hard to bear such an obvious comparison and felt quite ashamed.
However, no matter how much they suffered, they could only endure it. By now, Qi Erzhu and Cheng Fangfang no longer had the mood or courage to cause a scene at the Qi Zheng Family.
It wasn't that they had learned their lesson; rather, they were well aware that even if they went to Grandma Qi to argue, it would be of no use.
Thus, they ultimately learned to accept their fate and behaved themselves without causing any more trouble.
In contrast to the compliance of Qi Erzhu and Chen Cui, Grandma Zhao and others felt quite resentful. Unfortunately, with Zhao Lei gone, they couldn't help but feel apprehensive. They always thought that if they continued to make a fuss, they might end up tearing their own family apart...
Thinking this way, Grandma Zhao and Chen Cui circled around the Qi Zheng Family several times but ultimately shook their heads and left with grim expressions.
As of today, even if they wanted to fight back, they didn't know how to confront the Qi Zheng Family.
Coincidentally, on the night when Grandma Qi and the others returned to Willow Leaf Village, Grandfather Zhao fell hard while getting up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and could never get back up again.
Grandfather Zhao's passing was too sudden and shocked Grandma Zhao greatly. Despite her fierce demeanor on ordinary days, she actually relied on Grandfather Zhao as her support. Now that he was gone, Grandma Zhao felt lost and completely lost her usual arrogance.
Zhao Jin heard about Grandfather Zhao's death from Grandma Qi. After a moment of stunned silence, he hurried back to Willow Leaf Village with Qi Zheng.
After all, he was an elder; death was a serious matter, and Zhao Jin wouldn't start a conflict with Grandma Zhao and others at such a time.
Grandma Zhao and the others indeed had no other thoughts. Even when they saw that Zhao Guoqiang's family had all arrived, there were no calculations like in the past.
For them now, the greatest regret was that Zhao Lei hadn't been able to return in time, so Grandfather Zhao never got to see him one last time.
No matter how much they had quarreled with Zhao Guoqiang's family before, at this moment, they could no longer afford to feel envy or jealousy.
Zhao Lei rushed back to Willow Leaf Village for Grandfather Zhao's burial. Standing pale-faced in front of Grandfather Zhao's grave, Zhao Lei was left speechless and angry.
He hadn't yet made a name for himself or returned home in glory, and his grandfather had already passed away? This blow was devastating for Zhao Lei. It felt like a thunderclap, leaving him unsure of what to do.
Regarding Grandfather Zhao's funeral arrangements, Zhao Guoqiang took a considerable amount of money but said little, directly giving it to Grandma Zhao.
Grandma Zhao wiped her tears and accepted the money without refusal.
After sending off Grandfather Zhao, Zhao Guoqiang's family prepared to leave.
"Big Brother, wait a moment." Calling out to Zhao Guoqiang, Zhao Guofu finally stepped forward confidently, no longer hiding behind Grandma Zhao and Chen Cui to enjoy the benefits. "Are you really not going to take care of our mother?" Compared to his previous pretenses of indifference, Zhao Guofu showed much more backbone this time. However, as soon as he spoke, Zhao Guoqing, who was standing nearby, darkened his face: "Fourth Brother, what do you mean by that? How can Big Brother not take care of our mother? He has always given the most for our parents' living expenses every year."
Since he lived in the county, the conflict between Zhao Guoqing and Zhao Guofu wasn't that deep. But that didn't mean Zhao Guoqing agreed with Zhao Guofu's actions over the years. Especially regarding how Zhao Guofu treated their elder brother, Zhao Guoqiang; it was truly excessive. This was also the fundamental reason why Zhao Guoqing was unwilling to have too much interaction with Zhao Guofu.
