The Sweetness of the Seventies

Not being blind is not just talk. He Tiantian takes everything seriously and sees everyone clearly.

"Oh, which family is that?" He Tiantian asked pretending to be confused. In the past, she was tightly controlled by Qi's mother, and she didn't know much about some people in the village. In order not to suffer hidden losses in the future, she had to inquire in advance.

Grandma Qi San looked at He Tiantian's childish face, and then at He Tiantian's well-behaved face. She thought for a while and said, "I shouldn't talk about the rights and wrongs of my fellow villagers, but since you asked, I will talk to you carefully." , But these words, just say them here, I won’t admit them outside.”

Grandma Qi San is still highly respected in Qijia Village even though she has a bad background, her son is missing, and her husband is dead. This shows that she is a considerate person and is not an ordinary rural old lady who only talks about her wife.

"Okay, let's just talk about it and don't tell anyone else. I'm not familiar with those educated youths, we just met today." He Tiantian explained, promising not to tell anyone else.

"That's good." Grandma Qi San nodded, "Our village chief is a nice person. As long as you obey the village's arrangements and work honestly, he won't make things difficult for you. Below the village chief, there is the accountant Qi Shuli, who is a bit Be stingy, be careful in front of him, and work hard, otherwise you will be deducted. Zhao Dajiao, Ergou's mother just now, is the women's director of our village. She is a good person, but if you want to take advantage of it. If she helps, you have to give her some benefits..."

Grandma Qi San told He Tiantian about the temperaments and working styles of the main people in the village, so that He Tiantian was mentally prepared. I have to say that Grandma Qi San summed it up very thoroughly. He Tiantian never thought that these people would be like this before. This is not only because Qi's mother prevents He Tiantian from contacting the outside world, but also because He Tiantian doesn't want to get along with others and keeps shrinking in her own turtle shell. Later, due to the pressure of life, he had to crawl out of the turtle shell to make a living.

After hearing this, it will be of great benefit to He Tiantian.

After giving the medicine to Grandma Qi San, Grandma Qi San could get up and walk around slowly. After washing, the old man was in low spirits, so Grandma Qi San went back to the house to sleep.

He Tiantian lives in the west wing of Grandma Qi San's house. The house on the east faces the sun, so some sundries are placed there.

The house in Grandma Qi San's house was better than the house in the educated youth spot. It was spacious and furnished. What satisfied He Tiantian the most was the big bed, which was 1.8 meters wide. At noon, the mat had been wiped and taken outside to dry in the sun. The room was also cleaned. Grandma Qi San gave He Tiantian a mosquito net so that he could have a good sleep today.

He Tiantian started to pack the things her mother had brought for her, and took out the clothes she would wear tomorrow, a white shirt, dark green pants, and a pair of blue cloth shoes.

Thinking of the package Huo Yingjie gave him, she hadn't looked at it in the car. Now she was alone and could take it out and look at it.

A blue striped handkerchief contained food stamps and more than ten yuan. The food stamps were probably from his family, and the money was probably Huo Yingjie's own private money. Next to it is a piece of floral cloth, estimated to be one meter and a half in length, which can be used to make clothes. There is also a book with a letter in it, which reads:

Tiantian, I'm sorry, I was short of time and couldn't prepare more things for you. Please forgive me.

I give you this book in the hope that you can memorize it proficiently, learn to use these exquisite sentences, and stop being lazy. These food stamps were given by my mother, and the money was saved by me. You must keep it. After all, you are going to such a far place, and it’s no good if you don’t have money around you.

When you go out alone, you must take good care of yourself.

Finally, when you get to your destination, you must write to me. I have already put the stamps in the envelope for you this time.

Distance will put our revolutionary feelings to the test. But please believe that I am sincere and will not change. The situation in Nanshi is very serious now, which is why I agree with Uncle He to send you away. Don't worry here, I will let dad take care of Uncle He and Aunt Wang. You don't have to worry about the family.

That’s all for now. I hope you’ll write to me and let me know your situation.

Sincerely,

salute!

Huo Yingjie

He Tiantian looked at this sincere letter, tears streaming down her face. Not only was she moved by Huo Yingjie, but the opportunity to change her destiny was just before her, and she couldn't miss it.

An eight-cent gas stamp fell from the envelope. This stamp is used nationwide.

It's dark now, so He Tiantian can't light the lamp and wastes lamp oil, thinking about getting up early tomorrow morning to write a reply.

Lying under the mosquito net, shaking the cattail leaf fan in his hand, thinking about Huo Yingjie's letter, he fell asleep sweetly.

Early the next morning, He Tiantian wrote a reply to Huo Yingjie, including a letter to her parents. When you see Village Chief Qi, tell him if anyone can go to the county town to help send a letter.

He Tiantian cooked cornstarch, and two small handfuls were enough for two people to have two bowls of thick cornmeal, which tasted good with the pickles made by Grandma Qi San.

Seeing such a breakfast, Grandma Qi San nodded secretly, He Tiantian is a girl who knows how to live. By eating like this, you can eat the little food distributed by the village.

"Tiantian, you have a good rest at home today, I have to go to work." Grandma Qi San said, if you don't work, you won't get centimeters, and if you don't work, you won't get food. If she, an old woman, doesn't work, she won't have enough food to eat.

He Tiantian was stunned, looked at Grandma Qi San's feet, and said, "Grandma Qi, your feet haven't healed yet, how can you go to work?"

"It's okay, it's okay. As I get older, I don't have to go to the ground. I only need to break the cotton husks." Grandma Qi San said, "I just need to sit down and move my hands. I can do this job."

He Tiantian nodded and said, "Okay, I'll carry you there."

"I can walk, I can walk." Grandma Qi San refused and refused to let He Tiantian carry her, for fear of crushing He Tiantian.

He Tiantian smiled and said: "Grandma Qi, I am very strong and can carry it. If you don't let me carry it, I will be embarrassed to live here and eat vegetables from your garden."

Grandma Qi San was moved after hearing this and said, "Well, you try it. If you can't carry it, I will walk by myself. It doesn't matter if you go slower."

He Tiantian half-crouched and quickly carried Grandma Qi San on her back.

"Look, I can carry it." He Tiantian said, lifting the basket from the ground with one hand, "Grandma Qi, hold the basket."

There are tools for peeling cotton husks inside. He Tiantian is fine and is working with Grandma Qi San today.

Following Grandma Qi San's directions, He Tiantian came to two big houses in the middle of the village, where a group of old ladies were already chatting and laughing. Laughing and laughing.

When everyone saw He Tiantian come in, they saw Grandma Qi San on He Tiantian's back.

"Third Aunt, you sprained your ankle. Just rest at home." Zhao Dajiao said. Yesterday, she had learned about Qi San's grandma's affairs from her son. Fortunately, it wasn't serious, so she didn't come to see her.

It's Monday, the work week has begun, and I wish everyone a successful week.
