The Sweetness of the Seventies

Chapter 16 A sinister smile

At this moment, Qi Ergou walked in with a middle-aged woman.

He Tiantian knew this person as Qi Jianguo's second aunt Wang Shuilian, who was the only barefoot doctor in several surrounding villages. There is a small clinic in Hujiacun next door. For those who are in poor health or unable to walk, you can ask her to come directly to your home for injections, fluids, and some Chinese herbal medicine.

Rural people generally fight hard when they get sick, and only when they can't bear it anymore do they seek help from a doctor.

Wang Shuilian is probably around thirty-four or five years old now. She has a big braid and thick eyebrows and big eyes. Before liberation, the Wang family owned a medicine shop, and the Wang family had been practicing medicine for generations, so this was a family-traditional craft. People who eat whole grains and cereals without getting sick must use them from the Wang family, so the Wang family has great prestige in the neighborhood.

He Tiantian has not forgotten that in her previous life, Qi's mother, together with Wang Shuilian's younger brother, who worked in the county hospital, said that she was suffering from health problems and could not give birth to a child. In this life, He Tiantian will not let go of Qi Jianguo's family, nor will he let go of his accomplices.

Grandma Qi San sprained her foot, and she didn’t know if she had broken any bones, so she had to call a doctor.

"Third Aunt Qi, come here, let me check for you, are there any broken bones?" Wang Shuilian's second aunt is Qi Jianguo's mother. She often comes to Qijia Village and knows most of the people in Qijia Village.

Grandma Qi San smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you."

Wang Shuilian sat on the small bench that He Tiantian moved over, and lifted up Grandma Qi San's trousers. Her ankles were slightly red and swollen. Wang Shuilian touched Grandma Qi San's ankle a few times, which made Grandma Qi San groan in pain.

"It hurts a bit, Third Aunt, please bear with it for a while." Wang Shuilian said, constantly changing her techniques, massaging Grandma Qi's ankles. "Fortunately, no bones were hurt. The swelling will subside in a few days. I'll heal it for you when you get back. Take some ointment and send the child over later.”

"Thank you for your hard work." Grandma Qi San said, "I'll give it to you how much."

Wang Shuilian didn't refuse, she couldn't work in vain on a hot day, and said: "The home-made ointment only costs 50 cents. It will last for seven days and is guaranteed to reduce swelling."

"Sweet girl, you go to the cabinet in my room and give the money to the doctor." Grandma Qi San said, about to tell He Tiantian where to put the money.

He Tiantian brought a basin of water and placed it next to it. She took out fifty cents from her body and said with a smile: "Doctor, you wash your hands first. Grandma, I will put the money aside first. When you are better, you can pay it back." I."

On the first day she came here, she went through the place where the third grandma kept her money. After all, she was not very familiar with it. It would be most appropriate for her to advance the money first.

Qi Ergou had been watching from the side, thinking of He Tiantian's performance along the way, knowing the importance of advance and retreat, and felt that this girl was good.

Wang Shuilian looked He Tiantian up and down and said with a smile, "Third Aunt, is this a relative of yours?"

"No." Grandma Qi San said with a smile, "I am not so lucky. This girl is an educated youth and just arrived in our village today. There is no place to live in the educated youth area, so I brought this girl to my house. You can also be my companion."

"That's right, the little girl is pretty good." Wang Shuilian praised her. Although she is young, she is good-looking. If you have a good relationship with Aunt Qi in the village, you will be able to live a more harmonious life in the village in the future.

He Tiantian lowered her head, looking embarrassed.

"Third Aunt, I have to go somewhere else. Please wait a moment. My child will bring the medicine over before dinner." Wang Shuilian said, after washing her hands, she took the money and prepared to leave.

He Tiantian walked Wang Shuilian to the door and said, "Doctor, go slowly."

He Tiantian's attitude was very helpful to Wang Shuilian.

In the countryside, ordinary people love and hate doctors, but no one is as respectful as He Tiantian.

"Don't send her off, go back." Wang Shuilian said politely. Just as she was about to leave, she heard someone calling her.

He Tiantian's heart skipped a beat, as she still saw that person on the first day.

"Auntie, why are you here?" Qi Jianguo walked over slowly. It's not that Qi Jianguo can't walk fast, but because he walks fast, it shows the shortcomings of his long and short legs, which is particularly ugly.

He Tiantian glanced at Qi Jianguo, then turned and entered the room.

That man was the same as before, wearing a white shirt, blue trousers, black cloth shoes, and neat short hair. At first glance, he looked polite.

When Qi Jianguo saw He Tiantian for the first time, he was very surprised. He looked like a girl from the city, with fair skin, good figure and good looks.

"I'm here to rub Aunt Qi's feet." Wang Shuilian said with a smile, "I have something else to do, so I won't go to your house. I will go to your house to sit there when I have time."

"Okay, I won't delay your business." Qi Jianguo said. He also knew that this aunt was a barefoot doctor nearby. She was usually very busy, but he just couldn't let go of the girl he just saw. "Aunt, who just sent me a message?" Are you a relative of Third Aunt Qi?"

Wang Shuilian smiled and said, "He is not a relative of Third Aunt Qi. He is a young man from the city. He has no place to live, so he is staying at Third Aunt Qi's house."

After Wang Shuilian finished speaking, she hurriedly left.

At this time, bicycles were a rare thing. Wang Shuilian didn't have one, so he had to walk on two legs wherever he went.

When Qi Jianguo heard "young girl in the city", his eyes lit up. If this was the case, it would be much easier to handle.

He Tiantian entered so quickly that she didn't see a sinister smile on Qi Jianguo's handsome face.

Seeing that He Tiantian could take care of Grandma He, Qi Ergou said goodbye: "Sweet girl, Grandma He is leaving it to you. I didn't even enter the house when I came out yesterday morning, so I have to go home now."

"Brother Qi, I will take care of grandma." He Tiantian said, "If you have something to do, go ahead and do it first."

After Qi Ergou left, He Tiantian started to make dinner. She used the food He Tiantian received today, cooked two bowls of rice porridge, fried beans, and cucumbers.

"Oh, Tiantian, your cooking skills are amazing. The same meal, how come it's not so delicious when I make it." Grandma Qi San praised, drinking thick rice porridge, fragrant beans, crispy cucumber.

"Grandma Qi has given me the award, so I'll make whatever I want. If there's anything that doesn't suit your taste, just say it." He Tiantian said, finally having a satisfying meal. Although precious rice was used, this was the first day at Grandma Qi San’s house, so I couldn’t be stingy.

Grandma Qi San paid special attention to these details after eating and rinsing her mouth. Before liberation, Grandma Qi San was a lady from a wealthy family and had rules.

He Tiantian cleaned up the dishes, washed them and put them in the kitchen. She moved a small bench and sat next to Grandma Qi San. She said, "Grandma Qi, tell me about the things in the village. Secretary Qi said, the day after tomorrow Our new educated youth are about to start work, and I don’t know how to do farm work, so I don’t know what to pay attention to.”

Seeing the worried look on He Tiantian's face, Grandma Qi San couldn't help laughing and said: "You are young, don't worry, Secretary Qi will not arrange heavy work for you. The people in our village are all okay on the surface. They're decent on the surface, but there are a few who are dishonest in private. Whatever you do in the future, don't be left alone, and you should be fine."

Thank you for the tip and recommendation. At the end of the month, I will issue a unified thank you note.
