Chapter Twenty-Seven: Sending a Letter to Report Safety



On the way back, the little devil in He Tiantian's heart jumped out.

Lin Xiaoru and Huang Jingli, you bullied me in my past life! Now I've finally gotten my revenge! However, if Lin Xiaoru continues like this, He Tiantian will hold an even greater grudge and won't let her off so easily.

I will not offend others unless they offend me; if they offend me, I will dig up their ancestral graves.

He Tiantian felt that this statement was absolutely right, and she would not easily let go of anyone who hurt her.

Kindness must be repaid with kindness, and vengeance must be avenged. This is truly gratifying!

He Tiantian hummed a little tune as she walked, everything changing according to her plan, which was a good start.

Looking at the familiar village before her, He Tiantian felt much more at ease. She knew that anything was possible with effort, and she could change everything.

Joy turns to sorrow!

Just as she turned the corner on the side road, He Tiantian almost bumped into someone. When she looked up, she saw that it was Qi Jianguo!

They're like a persistent ghost!

He Tiantian turned to the side, trying to pass by Qi Jianguo. She didn't have the ability to deal with Qi Jianguo yet, so she could only avoid him.

"Sweetie, where have you been? I went to Third Grandma's house just now, but I didn't see you." Qi Jianguo said softly, his eyes filled with shy tenderness as he looked at He Tiantian.

He Tiantian felt nauseous upon hearing such a voice. How could she have ever thought Qi Jianguo was a good person in her past life? This was far too obvious!

"Comrade Jianguo, please call me Comrade He," He Tiantian said, and without waiting for Qi Jianguo's reply, she ran away quickly.

Qi Jianguo was surprised. He touched his face; although he had a leg disability, it was barely noticeable unless he walked fast. He was well-known in the surrounding villages for his good looks; young women and wives from far and wide would blush and feel shy around him. Why did it have no effect on He Tiantian?

Qi Jianguo looked down on ordinary farm girls and always wanted to find a fair-skinned, beautiful, and literate city girl. However, the other educated youths at the settlement were of average appearance, and he didn't like them. But when he first saw He Tiantian, he fell in love with this delicate and beautiful city girl.

But this He Tiantian was cold and indifferent to him, even less polite than Qi Ergou!

Oh dear, if he had known it was to pick up He Tiantian and her group, he would have rushed to go. He could have been the first to care for He Tiantian, get close to her, and leave a good impression. He wouldn't be in this situation where he can't get close to her now!

However, He Tiantian is still young, so there's plenty of time to pursue her properly. Within the territory of Qijia Village, there's nothing Qi Jianguo can't do.

He Tiantian, this little white rabbit, will surely fall into his carefully designed trap.

He Tiantian rushed home, her face flushed with excitement.

"Sweet girl, Secretary Qi's daughter just came by and asked if you wanted to mail a letter?" Grandma Qi said. "Secretary Qi is going to a meeting at the commune tomorrow. If you want to mail a letter, give it to him and he will mail it for you."

After calming her agitated mood, He Tiantian smiled when she heard what Grandma Qi said, "My parents told me to write home as soon as I get there, so they won't worry. I've already written the letter, and I'll take it to Secretary Qi now so he can mail it for me."

"Oh, you're so young, how can we not worry?" Grandma Qi said. "We've heard about what's happening in the city; it's a bit chaotic. You also need to be careful with the letters you write."

Before liberation, Grandma Qi's family were landlords. Later, they voluntarily handed over their land and did not oppress the people. They also actively resisted the Japanese and donated grain. That's why they were not criticized and struggled against after liberation.

However, seeing other landlords being criticized and denounced, some even dying, Grandma Qi was terrified and lived a very cautious life, which is why she is still safe and sound. She used her own life experience to remind He Tiantian not to write anything outrageous in her letter and get into trouble.

He Tiantian was grateful and accepted Grandma Qi's kindness, saying, "I know, Grandma Qi. I was just letting the family know I was safe; I didn't say anything inappropriate."

"That's good. You should go now, don't wait until it gets dark." Grandma Qi urged He Tiantian to hurry up.

He Tiantian took the letter with the oil coupons affixed and went to Secretary Qi's house.

"Sister Sweetie, you're here. My dad is eating inside." Qi Xiaoyan is Qi Dazhu's youngest daughter. She is innocent and carefree. In her previous life, she was abandoned by Li Mingkai, became pregnant, and couldn't bear the gossip in the village, so she committed suicide by jumping into the river.

"Thank you, Little Swallow," He Tiantian said with a smile, handing Qi Xiaoyan a handful of sour dates before going inside.

When Secretary Qi saw He Tiantian arrive, he asked with a smile, "Tiantian, is working in the livestock team tiring?"

He Tiantian smiled and said, "It's not tiring, I can manage. Grandpa Qi and Aunt Liu are very considerate of me because I'm young and let me do some light work."

"That's good," Secretary Qi said. He made this arrangement in the hope that having one more person go would reduce Uncle Qi's workload, killing two birds with one stone.

“Secretary Qi, this is the letter I wrote. I’ve already attached the gas coupon. Just put it in the mailbox at the post office.” He Tiantian said, handing over her letter. “In the letter, I let my parents know I’m safe and sound, and give them the address of Qijia Village so they can write to me when they have time.”

“That’s how it should be,” said Liang Hongyu, Secretary Qi’s wife. “A mother worries when her son travels far away. My second brother Xiaoyan went to the army and I haven’t received any letters from him for a long time. I’m so worried that I can’t eat or sleep well.”

Liang Hongyu's tone contained heartache, but even more so pride and joy.

Serving in the army is now a glorious honor in rural areas, and everyone envies it. Liang Hongyu certainly has reason to be proud!

He Tiantian chimed in, "My mom often says that raising a child is a lifelong worry, even if you live to be a hundred. My second brother is a soldier, protecting our country, which is an honor. You military families are respected too, and everyone envies you!"

A few words were enough to make Liang Hongyu overjoyed; this girl really knows how to talk.

"Have you eaten? Stay and have dinner with us." Liang Hongyu, not wanting to boast, was secretly pleased and invited He Tiantian to have dinner at her home.

He Tiantian smiled and declined, saying, "No need, Grandma Qi and I have already eaten. Grandma Qi is old and doesn't sleep well if she eats late, so we always eat early. I won't disturb Secretary Qi. Auntie is eating, I'll go back first."

He Tiantian left the letter on the table, said goodbye, and left.

Qi Xiaoyan saw He Tiantian to the door and said, "Sister Tiantian, the sour dates you brought are so sweet and delicious."

“I still have some. Come find me tonight if you want some,” He Tiantian said. “It’s getting dark, so I’m leaving now. Let’s hang out sometime.”

"Okay," Qi Xiaoyan said happily. She had just graduated from junior high school and was about to start high school, but the county schools stopped offering classes, so she had to go home.

Qi Xiaoyan's father was the village party secretary, holding a prominent position in the village. She had always been an student, so aside from her classmate Qi Fangfang, she wasn't familiar with the other girls in the village and had no other friends. Now, with He Tiantian's quiet guidance, she and Qi Xiaoyan had common topics to discuss. Although they didn't see each other often otherwise, they had become friends who could exchange a few words.
