The Sweetness of the Seventies

Aunt Liu liked He Tiantian's hardworking and sweet mouth. She always gave He Tiantian some tips along the way, which benefited He Tiantian a lot.

"Sweet girl, if you have time in the future, please make some food for Uncle Qi. I used to be busy and didn't have time, so I only cooked it occasionally." Aunt Liu said, "He is a lonely old man who is very pitiful. He has no wife. , I have no children, and I’m missing an arm, so it’s inconvenient for me to do things, so I can help if I can.”

He Tiantian nodded and said: "Okay, from now on I will often make it for Grandpa Qi when I have time."

These are all small things, and He Tiantian is very good at them, so they are not troublesome.

After looking around and seeing no one around, Aunt Liu whispered: "Uncle Qi is not an ordinary person. Not only does he have work points in the village and can get food, he also receives a lot of good things from the commune every month. You give him Cooking is an indispensable benefit to you. This is not all, because Uncle Qi has high prestige. Even the village secretary Qi Dazhu respects him, and the people in the village also respect him. As long as he treats you well, you will be a little girl in the future. In Qijia Village, no one dares to bully you."

He Tiantian was happy that the whole morning's hard work was not in vain. Aunt Liu encouraged her in every way. Although she knew she had to curry favor with Old Man Qi, she was also grateful for Aunt Liu's kind reminder.

"Thank you, Aunt Liu." He Tiantian said with sincere gratitude. If there is any benefit in the future, she will give some to Aunt Liu.

She wanted to take revenge on Qi Jianguo's family, and she couldn't do it alone, so she needed help from some people. But now that I have just arrived, I can't rush anything. I need to settle the relationship with some people in Qijia Village first and then look for opportunities step by step.

"You're welcome. You're only two years older than our girl. It's not easy for you to leave your hometown. Don't mind if I say a few more words to you." Aunt Liu saw that He Tiantian was sensible and listened to her words. If you feel a sense of accomplishment, you will inevitably say a few more words.

"You are doing it for my own good, why would you dislike it!" He Tiantian said, talking and laughing with Aunt Liu all the way back to the village.

It only took one morning, and I have established a good relationship with two "colleagues". I have a good start. I believe that the future work will be smooth.

He Tiantian went to pick up Grandma Qi San who was shelling the cotton shells, and helped Grandma Qi San back home.

Yes, in just two days, He Tiantian has already considered Grandma Qi San's home.

Old one, I hope He Tiantian can accompany her and take care of her by the way.

The younger one hopes to find a place with Grandma Qi San to help her open up the situation in Qijia Village.

The two complement each other and bring out the best in each other.

"Grandma Qi, sit down for a while, I'll go cook." He Tiantian helped Grandma Qi San into the house, brought water and towels, and wiped Grandma Qi San away from the heat.

"Don't be in a hurry, just eat something." Grandma Qi San said, feeling sweeter than eating honey. Now that the two of them eat the food together, there is no one else, and Grandma Qi San is not worried about He Tiantian eating it secretly.

He Tiantian made gnocchi, added green vegetables, a little oil, a little salt, soup and water, and had it for lunch.

Grandma Qi San had bad teeth, so it was best to eat such a meal. She was very satisfied and let He Tiantian cook from now on. Now she can't give He Tiantian anything good. If He Tiantian would always treat her like this, when she died, she would give He Tiantian the box of gold and silver jewelry that she had secretly hidden before.

Otherwise, she would have given He Tiantian a silver hairpin.

After dinner, Grandma Qi San and He Tiantian took a nap at home.

As long as it is not busy farming and the weather is hot, you can get up early in the morning to work, take more rest at noon, and go back to work at 2:30 in the afternoon.

He Tiantian poured hot water into her army-green kettle, slung it across her body and carried a bamboo basket. She sent Grandma Qi San to the place where she was peeling cotton shells, and then hurried to her feet.

When Old Man Qi saw He Tiantian coming, he smiled rarely: "Here he comes!"

"Here we come." He Tiantian said, putting his bamboo basket aside and carrying the big basket that Aunt Liu had carried in the morning. "Grandpa Qi, I went to mow the grass. Aunt Liu will be watching here in the afternoon." "

Don't be lazy, know how to advance and retreat.

This kid is good!

"Go ahead." Old Man Qi nodded and pointed to the west, "Go over there and there's a lot of green grass. Your Aunt Liu has already cut a lot in the morning. It's okay if you cut less in the afternoon."

"Thank you, Grandpa Qi." He Tiantian agreed and walked up the mountain carrying the big bamboo basket.

Although Old Man Qi said so, He Tiantian couldn't be lazy on the first day of work. If you are diligent now, you will leave a good impression on others. If you are lazy in doing things in the future, others will not tell you. Now we are a large collective, and everyone works like this, working hard.

Everyone knows that working hard is a waste of time, but if you have a reputation for being lazy, you will become the object of discussion and contempt by others. In his previous life, He Tiantian was not lazy, but was young, weak, unable to do the work, and always failed to complete the tasks, so he was always discussed by the people in the village.

She is good-looking and literate. These advantages cannot be matched by the big girls and young wives in the countryside. But just because she is not good at work, He Tiantian cannot keep up with them. In order to prove that they are better and more powerful than He Tiantian, they often talk about He Tiantian and other educated youths, looking for a sense of pride.

Seeing that there was no one around, He Tiantian speeded up and came to the green grassland that Old Man Qi had mentioned.

He Tiantian was not tired at all. She thanked Uncle Snake more than once for improving her body. If she had just walked here before, it would have taken an hour, but now it only takes half an hour.

The terrain here is relatively flat, but there is a lot of mud under the feet, so the trees and grass are very lush. Just such a large piece is enough for He Tiantian to mow for a week.

Old man Qi is also a good person!

He Tiantian mows the grass with her head down. Even though the sickle is not very sharp, it does not affect her cutting speed. If the sickle was sharp, it might be faster. In less than an hour, He Tiantian had cut several large piles of grass, and the baskets were full and solid.

He Tiantian saw that it was early and there were some fresh wild vegetables lying around, so she dug some, blanched them, and made a cold dish for Old Man Qi. After doing this, He Tiantian rested on the mountain for a while, and then went down the mountain carrying the bamboo basket.

It's easy to go up the mountain but hard to go down the mountain.

It took He Tiantian half an hour to go up the mountain and about forty-five minutes to go down.

Aunt Liu smiled when she saw He Tiantian coming back carrying more grass than she had in the morning. "Oh, this girl is good at work and has good strength. She will be much more relaxed in the future."

"Hurry up and put it down." Aunt Liu said, "It's more cutting than I did this morning. You girl, you are too honest."

Aunt Liu said this, but she was very happy in her heart!
