The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 1181 - 1150: The Role of a Mother

Oh, He Tiantian really hit the nail on the head.

Tang Qian was surprised and said, "I didn’t expect He Tiantian to have such deep insight!"

"Hehe, you haven’t seen what the Huo Family does," Old Master Tang said. "Huo Yingjun’s wife went abroad with Huo Yingjun, He Tiantian is a businesswoman and also an athlete, so naturally the Huo Family would tell He Tiantian about some political matters. They need her to be aware when acting outside, to grasp the measure and be mindful, so as not to cross the line while abroad."

"So that’s how it is," Tang Qian said. "No wonder you always talk about various families and political matters during meals."

"Yes, it’s not only for you to hear but also for Zhengmin," Old Master Tang said. "Didn’t expect you to be less sensitive than He Tiantian, it seems you need to learn more in the future, you can’t be muddle-headed, otherwise you wouldn’t even know why if something happened."

"Hmm, I’ll pay more attention in the future," Tang Qian said. "No wonder every time you talk, Zhengmin listens very carefully and even asks me about things she doesn’t understand later."

"Hehe, that’s how it should be," Old Master Tang said. "Knowing to think and ask means no trouble will happen. Ah, marrying you this wife, your mother and I can rest in peace after a hundred years, as long as you don’t mess up, your life would probably be good. With such a smart mother to guide them, we won’t have to worry about our grandchildren."

"Dad, why do you talk like this, you’re still in good health," Tang Qian said. "You should just enjoy every day and live a long life with mom."

"Enough now, who can live for a hundred years? I’ve been through so much in life and I’ve seen through it. Now that you’re fine, I can rest completely," Old Master Tang said emotionally.

"Hehe, so you really think highly of Zhengmin?" Tang Qian asked somewhat proudly, eager to hear his father praise Qi Zhengmin.

She was his wife!

He had chased her through thick and thin, now happily blessed!

"Of course," Old Master Tang said. "Children spend a lot of time with their mother, so they are greatly influenced by her. No need to mention other families, just look at ours. Aren’t your brother and sister greatly influenced by your mother in their actions and temperament?"

"Yes," Tang Qian nodded. "But it seems my temperament is more like yours."

"That’s because I retired and had time to discipline you," Old Master Tang said. "Think about the Huo family, do Huo Zhekun and Huo Zheqian take after Uncle Huo or Aunt Huo?"

"Uncle Huo is a rough fellow outwardly, shrewd on the inside, but acts decisively!" Tang Qian said. "The two brothers from the Huo family are gentle and refined, indeed they resemble Aunt Huo more. Even their looks are similar, though the men’s height follows Uncle Huo. One can only say that the Huo children really grow up well, each generation looks better than the last."

Old Master Tang agreed, saying, "I’m older than your Uncle Huo, I was already married by that time. But your uncle wasn’t, and besides, we had other comrades and colleagues who married comrades or workers, but your uncle, that illiterate rough fellow from the Red Army days, insisted on marrying a miss from a wealthy family. Back then, we all thought Uncle Huo was smitten by her beauty, but seeing the outstanding younger generation later, one realizes how shrewd your uncle was. Of course, your aunt was quite beautiful in her youth."

Interested, Tang Qian asked, "Dad, speaking of which, mom is illiterate and just looks ordinary, so how did you, being talented and artistic, end up with mom?"

Old Master Tang, pleased with their chat, smiled and said, "Of course, because your mom is tall! Our Old Tang Family genes were completely transformed from my generation onwards, that’s why you and your siblings are tall."

Tang Qian was stunned, thinking about his father’s height, which was indeed under one seventy, and he somewhat awkwardly said, "I had no idea there was such a saying, is there any basis for it?"

"Haven’t you heard the old saying, ’A tall dad, a tall brood’?" Old Master Tang claimed righteously, showing his foresight.

Scratching his head in confusion, Tang Qian said, "Dad, that sounds made up! I’ve only heard ’One soldier, a den of soldiers’!"

"That’s because you’re inexperienced," Old Master Tang said. "I had an elder brother and sister who both died young, and they weren’t as tall as me. Neither were your grandfather and grandmother. No one in our Tang family was tall. But I married your mother, and look at you and your three siblings, even the shortest, your sister, is a hundred and sixty-eight centimeters. All thanks to your mother. She is the great meritorious figure of our Old Tang family, so of course, I love your mother."

Wow, the emotions of the older generation are indeed interesting.

"Hehe, it can be like that!" Tang Qian chuckled. "No wonder you liked Zhengmin so much at that time, because she’s tall!"

"Yes, tall and fair-skinned," Old Master Tang said. "Just look at your kids, they’re more beautiful than others; it shows you married the right woman."

Well, Tang Qian actually found his father’s words reasonable.

His wife was indeed wonderful, and his kids were beautiful.

"Alright, you should also go back and rest early, you have to catch a plane early tomorrow," Old Master Tang said. "The house will have your brother and sisters for the New Year, you go back and spend it with Zhengmin. It’s rare that your father-in-law, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law are also back, have a good time together."

"I’m an unfilial son, unable to accompany my parents for New Year’s," Tang Qian felt somewhat guilty.

"Hehe, we have long days ahead, focus on your in-laws’ side first. After all, we are always together, and they only come back once a year. They want to spend quality time with their daughter, which is natural. Plus, Zhengmin is pregnant, these are the times when she needs care. If you go, we can also be relieved," Old Master Tang said, understanding his son’s situation, preemptively acting sensibly where no one could fault him.

Just then, Old Madam Tang came in and said, "Xiao Si, I’ve prepared a lot of things for you to take to the Yue Family tomorrow, and you must also nourish Zhengmin."

"Mom, don’t worry," Tang Qian said. "There are many people at the Yue Family who will take care of Zhengmin."

"Ah, but I can’t help but worry when she’s not in front of my eyes," Old Madam Tang said. "When you go, you must not upset Zhengmin. If a pregnant woman gets angry, the baby born won’t look good. Remember that!"

Tang Qian nodded, saying, "Got it, mom." freeweɓnovel.cѳm

The old couple, with endless cautions and exhortations, asked Tang Qian to take good care of Qi Zhengmin.

The old couple also called Qi Zhengmin every day, chatting a bit, and caring for their daughter-in-law, and with Qi Zhengmin being pregnant, the Tang family’s New Year was very lively. The old couple was in good spirits, and the younger generation was also happy.
