He appreciated He Tiantian's kindness.
"No need, Sweetie, I can manage on my own. I feel my cultivation is progressing rapidly, and I estimate that I will undergo my tribulation on the second day of the second lunar month, the day the dragon raises its head. Thank you for your concern, I need to cultivate now," the Snake King said softly, suppressing the bitterness in his heart.
He didn't want to see He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie; he wanted to be alone.
"That's great! Snake King, keep it up! I believe in you!" He Tiantian said. "Then I'll go back now and won't disturb your cultivation."
"Goodbye!" The Snake King nodded, his big eyes looking at He Tiantian as if he wanted to memorize her appearance.
Seeing that the little snake knew what was good for it, Lord Huo Yingjie forgave him and didn't make things difficult for him.
Feeling relaxed, He Tiantian followed Huo Yingjie and left the cave in the back mountain.
Huo Yingjie casually set up a barrier, and added a spirit-gathering array inside to help the Snake King cultivate. The outermost layer was the barrier that isolated the outside world.
Huashan, Cui Ying had just lain down when she felt it again.
But when they reached the cave, they found nothing.
Huo Yingjie sneered, "With this little skill, you think you can track me?"
What a joke!
He Tiantian returned from the back mountain feeling very relaxed, and had already kissed Huo Yingjie several times along the way.
Young and impetuous, Huo Yingjie couldn't resist such teasing and hugged He Tiantian, kissing and touching her! Finally, just when he was about to lose control, he stopped.
It wasn't that Huo Yingjie had amazing self-control, but rather that he wanted his wedding night to be at its most beautiful moment, not in the freezing cold.
After He Tiantian returned home, feeling relieved and carefree, she quickly fell asleep without a care in the world.
But Huo Yingjie didn't have it so easy, staying awake until dawn.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, married daughters return to their parents' home.
Qi Xiaoyan returned home from the county town early in the morning. Upon hearing that He Tiantian was getting married, she couldn't wait to congratulate He Tiantian before she had even recovered from the shock.
"Wow, you're pretty quick!" Qi Xiaoyan exclaimed. "Is everything ready?"
"We have to hurry! You're younger than me, but you're married too!" He Tiantian said with a grin. "When does the supply and marketing cooperative in the county open? I want to go buy some things!"
"The sixth day of the Lunar New Year!" Qi Xiaoyan asked. "What day is it for you?"
"The eighth day of the Lunar New Year!" He Tiantian said, "Time is a bit tight, you'll have to work harder."
"Don't worry, just make a list and write down everything you need. Then we'll split into several groups, and a few people working together, and we can finish it in a day," Qi Xiaoyan said, indicating that it wasn't difficult.
Seeing that Qi Xiaoyan spoke so casually, He Tiantian felt slightly relieved and said, "You have experience with marriage, so I'm counting on you."
"Okay!" Qi Xiaoyan said, "Come on, let's figure out what we need now?"
Don't buy any big items, because you can't take them with you, and it's useless to buy them. You don't need to buy clothes either. He Tiantian has several boxes of new clothes, but she can't wear her best ones when she gets married. She can only wear the most plain colors.
I really hope these next few years will pass quickly so He Tiantian can wear all sorts of beautiful clothes.
In her past life, she made a mess of her life, but in this life, she worked hard and is now enjoying a happy and fulfilling life.
She wants the people around her to be happy, and she also wants to have a brilliant life.
With Qi Xiaoyan joining the team, Qi Daniu helping out, and Zhao Dajiao, Liang Hongyu, and He Tiantian, preparations for their weddings proceeded smoothly.
After the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Niu Lili took He Tiantian directly to the supply and marketing cooperative, where all sorts of newly arrived goods were available. Each of them was given a shopping list and they were to buy items by area and category.
By noon, the selection was complete, and the slips of paper were prepared.
He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie went to pay the bill.
I had lunch at Niu Lili's workplace, carrying four bags of things with me.
This time I bought 30 jin of candy, over 10 jin of glutinous rice strips, and some cigarettes, etc.
He Jingyu and Wang Shuping had accumulated their salaries, various allowances, and receipts over half a year, along with receipts obtained from Qi Xiaoyan and Niu Lili. Huo Yingjie also contributed a considerable amount, which enabled them to acquire so many items.
He Tiantian is not short of money, but this era is a completely planned economy. You can't buy everything just by having money; you need tickets.
It might also be available on the black market, where you only need money and not tickets, but the price is several times higher than the normal price.
The high price isn't the problem, but it's not allowed. If someone reports it and I get caught, I'll be in trouble.
Although they have a high reputation in Taoyuan County, there are always petty people around, so it's best to be careful.
Fortunately, everything was prepared.
Qi Pangzi, the village's best cook specializing in village banquets, was invited to help. He started preparing everything a day in advance. The village's familiar young wives, girls, Sister Wu, and Ye Xiaofan all came to help with picking vegetables, and Secretary Qi made overall arrangements for the work.
Despite the large number of people, everything proceeded in an orderly manner.
With her big belly, Wang Shuping and the elderly Grandma Qi San could only watch everyone busy with their tasks with smiles on their faces.
Jiang Lifang helped greet the villagers who came to her home to offer their congratulations.
After a busy day of preparations on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, we're all looking forward to tomorrow.
As a newlywed, He Tiantian could only stay indoors at night.
Qi Xiaoyan found a moment to enter the room and saw He Tiantian, who seemed a little restless. She smiled and said, "Are you very nervous?"
He Tiantian was about to nod when she remembered how she had laughed at Qi Xiaoyan for being overly nervous when Qi Xiaoyan got married.
Now that it was her turn, He Tiantian finally understood that no matter how familiar or loving a man and woman are, they will feel nervous when it comes to their wedding.
“I was very nervous.” He Tiantian nodded. “I even laughed at you that time. Now you’ve gotten your comeuppance. You can laugh at me now.”
Qi Xiaoyan raised an eyebrow and said with a grin, "Since you've admitted your mistake so well, I won't make fun of you. Sweetie, congratulations on your marriage. This is a pair of mandarin duck pillowcases I prepared for you. They're not anything fancy, but they're a token of my affection."
"Thank you, I accept your kind offer." He Tiantian smiled, but there was also a hint of melancholy in her voice. "In the blink of an eye, we've all grown up, gotten married, and started our own families. In the future, we'll have children and our own busy lives."
“Even though things will be like this in the future, our sisterly bond won’t fade with time or distance,” Qi Xiaoyan said. “I don’t care, I’ll just bother you whenever I have the chance.”
Qi Xiaoyan acted like a rogue.
He Tiantian smiled and said, "Okay, if you don't cling to me, I'll cling to you."
"Alright, let's still be good sisters from now on," Qi Xiaoyan said. "We'll have husbands and children in the future, but we'll always have a place for each other in our hearts, okay?"
"Okay!" He Tiantian nodded; this was the friendship between the sisters.
Unlike the unbreakable bond of family, or the passionate and intense love, the bond between sisters resides in the softest part of their hearts, transcending friendship. Like a fine wine, it becomes more mellow and fragrant with the passage of time!
