He Tiantian treated everyone around her with a grateful heart. However, reaching middle age, she discovered she had been living inside a full-bodied lie.
Returning to the year 1970, He Tianti...

Seeing the nurse's somewhat flustered steps, Zhao Huanhuan frowned.
After Zhao Huanhuan checked Huo Yingjie's blood pressure and pulse, she found that his condition was better than before. After making a note of it in her notebook, she then spoke to He Tiantian.
"Sweetie, are you tired?" Zhao Huanhuan asked. "If you are tired, you can go to my dorm and take a nap."
He Tiantian shook her head and said, "I'm not tired! Sister-in-law, you don't need to worry about me."
"Okay, you can come to me if you need anything," Zhao Huanhuan said. "I have work to do, so I'll head out now."
"Thank you, sister-in-law," He Tiantian said politely. She had troubled Zhao Huanhuan quite a bit these past few days and was grateful to her.
After Zhao Huanhuan left, He Tiantian closed the ward door, bolted it, and then wiped Huo Yingjie's body.
He Tiantian carefully helped Huo Yingjie wipe his face, neck, arms, back, and chest. But when she got to his lower body, He Tiantian froze.
What should we do?
He Tiantian was a little hesitant, but then she thought that if she didn't do this job, the nurse would have to do it.
Her fiancé has been seen naked by others, and not just once. She's so at a disadvantage!
Thinking of this, He Tiantian steeled herself and took off Huo Yingjie's pants.
Because Huo Yingjie was unconscious, he needed to receive intravenous fluids every morning and evening to maintain the nutrients his body needed.
They started an IV drip, but at the same time, a ureteral catheter was also inserted.
He Tiantian was a little shy at first, but she felt very sorry for Huo Yingjie when she saw how much pain he was suffering in his lower body.
As for those feelings of shyness, compared to feeling sorry for them, they were long ago forgotten.
He Tiantian carefully cleaned Huo Yingjie, wiping him thoroughly, and then changed him into a clean hospital gown.
He Tiantian poured out the water, took back the enamel basin, and said she would fetch hot water for Huo Yingjie to wash up tomorrow.
He Tiantian took out the cosmetics her grandmother had sent her from her bag, squeezed out some moisturizer and applied it to Huo Yingjie, then took out a comb and began to comb Huo Yingjie's hair. If possible, she wanted to wash Huo Yingjie's hair tomorrow.
He Tiantian then took out nail clippers from her bag and trimmed Huo Yingjie's fingernails and toenails.
When Jiang Lifang came over, she saw He Tiantian sitting sideways on the bed, trimming Huo Yingjie's toenails.
Sigh, these days, Jiang Lifang has been living in a daze, doing nothing for her son except crying. She is still as caring as Tiantian.
No wonder my son likes Tian Tian; he's a different person now that Tian Tian is around.
"Sweetie, hurry up and wash your hands and go eat. I'll cut your hair," Jiang Lifang said hastily, putting down the lunchbox in her hand.
He Tiantian said softly, "Aunt Jiang, don't touch it anymore. There's only one fingernail left. It'll be done soon."
When Jiang Lifang heard He Tiantian say that, she sat down on the stool, looked at her son with affection, and then looked at He Tiantian.
They're a match made in heaven!
Hopefully, their son will wake up; otherwise, a good girl like Tian Tian will have no chance with their family.
After He Tiantian finished cutting Huo Yingjie's hair, she positioned his feet, covered them with a thin blanket, and then went to the bathroom to wash her hands.
When He Tiantian came out of the bathroom, Jiang Lifang had already taken out the food for her and said, "Tiantian, eat it while it's hot."
He Tiantian was indeed hungry, though she hadn't felt it before because she was so upset. Now that she knew there was hope for Huo Yingjie to wake up, she realized how hungry she was, but she couldn't go out to buy food, so she could only continue waiting.
Fortunately, Aunt Jiang brought the food before long.
He Tiantian was hungry, so she didn't stand on ceremony and ate several bites before remembering to ask, "Aunt Jiang, have you eaten?"
"You've already eaten, so hurry up and eat," Jiang Lifang said, looking at He Tiantian with affection.
Hearing Jiang Lifang say this, He Tiantian finally started eating heartily.
He Tiantian has a large appetite; she ate everything, but was only about 70% full.
However, this is Yanjing, not Nanshi or Qijia Village, so He Tiantian was too embarrassed to say that she hadn't eaten enough.
"Are you full?" Jiang Lifang asked. "No, I'll buy you some more."
"I'm full," He Tiantian said, embarrassed to admit she wasn't. Anyway, she had meal tickets and money on her, so she could buy more later.
"That's good," Jiang Lifang said. "Tian Tian, your father is resting at home. You should go back and rest too. I'll be here this afternoon." Jiang Lifang said, feeling very sorry for Tian Tian. She had come immediately after receiving the telegram and had traveled by train for three days and four nights. She must be very tired.
He Tiantian thought about how long it had been since she had taken a bath and felt a little itchy. She nodded and said, "Aunt Jiang, I'll go back and take a bath and change my clothes. I'll take care of Brother Yingjie tonight."
"No need, you can come tomorrow morning," Jiang Lifang said. With so many people at home, she couldn't let He Tiantian get too tired.
He Tiantian is the apple of her son's eye; she can't be taken lightly.
Jiang Lifang now places almost all her hopes on He Tiantian, and dares not let He Tiantian get tired.
"I won't be able to sleep when I get back," He Tiantian said. "By the way, Aunt Jiang, where is my dad? Where can I rest?"
"Oh dear, look at my head." Jiang Lifang smiled wryly. "There are guards outside. I'll have him take you back. By the way, Tiantian, stay away from Huo Yingqi in the future. That girl is not right in the head."
Compared to her future daughter-in-law, Jiang Lifang found her unreliable niece annoying. Thinking about what Huo Yingqi had done before, Jiang Lifang was very angry.
"I've got it," He Tiantian said. Anyway, she was confident now and wasn't afraid of anyone.
Jiang Lifang escorted He Tiantian to the door and instructed the guard to take He Tiantian home.
He Tiantian arrived at the Huo family's old residence. Old Master Huo and Old Madam Huo were in the living room, talking to He Jingyu.
The guard brought He Tiantian in, and Old Madam Huo quickly got up and asked, "Tiantian, have you eaten?"
"I've eaten, Grandmother," He Tiantian said, placing her luggage aside.
"You must be very tired. Go upstairs and rest. Come on, I'll take you to your room," said Madam Huo, taking He Tiantian's small hand. "Hot water is ready and will be brought to your room soon. You'll be able to sleep well after a bath."
"Thank you, Grandma," He Tiantian said. Although it was only the second time she had met Madam Huo, her grandmother's kindness made her feel at ease.
When Madam Huo saw He Tiantian, she temporarily forgot about her grandson's misfortune and adored her!
No wonder the second son and his wife kept praising their future daughter-in-law; she really is wonderful! She's certainly never met a better girl than He Tiantian.
Not just appearance, but also temperament!
"Tian Tian, you should rest. Make yourself at home and don't be shy," said Madam Huo, before helping He Tian Tian close the door.
"Thank you, Grandma." He Tiantian said through the doorway. Yingjie's grandmother was an interesting old lady.
