Seeing that Qi Jianguo had left, Qi Xiaoyan quickly came in.
"Sister Tian, you should rest well. I still have some brown sugar at home, I'll get it for you right away," Qi Xiaoyan said. "Oh, you look so unwell and weak, and you were carrying me on your back, you must have exhausted yourself."
He Tiantian smiled, her complexion had improved somewhat, and said, "I'm fine. You must be exhausted too, go back and rest. By the way, you haven't eaten yet, have you? There's some bone broth at home, have some."
"That's good stuff, it'll help you recover, so I won't drink it. You take a nap, I'll go get the candy," Qi Xiaoyan said. She hadn't noticed it earlier because she was in a rush, but now her stomach was rumbling, and she realized she hadn't eaten lunch yet.
Grandma Qi tried to persuade Qi Xiaoyan to stay, but to no avail.
When Qi Xiaoyan got home, she saw He Tiantian's basket and realized that her mother had taken it home. Apparently, someone in the village had taken the basket, and her mother had just found it. Since she was going to give He Tiantian some brown sugar after dinner, she decided to take it with her to return it.
Seeing her daughter so busy, Liang Hongyu asked her some questions and discovered that her daughter was a little different than before.
If asked what was different, Liang Hongyu really couldn't remember.
After finishing her meal, Qi Xiaoyan took the bag of brown sugar and said, "Mom, Sister Tiantian got tired from carrying me, so I wanted to give her some brown sugar to drink to help her replenish her energy."
“Sure, your dad will go to town in a few days, and I’ll have him buy you some more,” Liang Hongyu said. He Tiantian was generous to their family, so she wouldn’t be stingy either.
Seeing that her mother did not object, Qi Xiaoyan took the brown sugar and carried the bamboo basket to Grandma Qi's house.
While He Tiantian was sleeping, Qi Xiaoyan did not disturb her, but stayed outside with Grandma Qi.
When He Tiantian woke up, Qi Xiaoyan immediately poured her a bowl of brown sugar water and made her drink it.
And you know what? After drinking the sweet and hot brown sugar water, He Tiantian felt warm and comfortable in her stomach.
Seeing that He Tiantian was strong and no longer limp, Qi Xiaoyan felt relieved and went home.
Receiving Qi Xiaoyan's meticulous care made He Tiantian even more determined not to regret saving Qi Xiaoyan.
Upon learning that He Tiantian was suffering from blood deficiency, Qi Fangfang also brought over half a pound of brown sugar.
"Sister Tian, you must take good care of yourself. My mother said that if a woman's blood and qi are insufficient, she will suffer a lot when giving birth." Qi Fangfang said in a serious tone, "This is brown sugar that my brother bought for me in the county town. I don't need it now, so I'm giving it to you to drink. I hope you can replenish your blood and qi soon."
"Brown sugar is a good thing, I can't take it. You should take it back quickly." He Tiantian didn't want Qi Fangfang's things at all, let alone the fact that Qi Jianguo bought them, so she wanted them even less.
Qi Fangfang put the brown sugar on the table and said, "Sister Tiantian, why are you being so formal with me? We're good friends."
Looking at that face that overlapped with her past life's, and hearing Qi Fangfang's words, her face twitched. Who said she was good friends with him? Wasn't it enough that she was tricked by him her whole life in her past life? Did she have to let him trick her again for another lifetime?
Although there were some things Qi Xiaoyan didn't know, He Tiantian disliked none of the Qi family members and now just wanted to stay far away and find an opportunity to take revenge.
"Hehe, I'm serious, you should take it back. I really have some here." He Tiantian refused again. If she had a reason, she really wanted to break off all ties with Qi Fangfang and ignore each other. That would be the best outcome.
"Sister Tian, why are you so stubborn!" Qi Fangfang said. "Since I've brought it, I won't take it away. Alright, seeing how distant you are with me, I won't get in your way anymore. You get some rest, I'm going back."
Qi Fangfang didn't give He Tiantian a chance to speak again before running out in quick steps. Her older brother had instructed her to deliver the item, and she dared not neglect it. It was He Tiantian's lukewarm attitude towards her brother that made her feel sorry for him!
As I walked through the door, I saw Sister Wu, Ye Xiaofan, Wang Lei, and Zhang Qingshan coming to visit He Tiantian. The four of them pooled their money and bought a basket of eggs.
Grandma Qi welcomed them inside and was delighted to see the basket of eggs.
This is not just about a basket of eggs; it shows that He Tiantian has a good relationship with these people, and it also proves that He Tiantian not only has a good relationship with the villagers in Qijia Village, but also with the educated youth.
"Come in, come in," said Grandma Qi. "You children, you can just come and see Sweetie whenever you want, why did you have to buy eggs!"
Sister Wu, being the most cheerful, said, "Grandma Qi, we don't have much money. This is just a small token of our appreciation from the four of us. We're making this for Tian Tian so she can recover soon and be as lively and energetic as before."
Grandma Qi took the basket and said, "Since you've brought it, I won't refuse. Come inside, come inside. Sweetie is reading inside."
Hearing the noise outside, He Tiantian said, "Come in and sit down. Actually, I'm not dizzy anymore, but Grandma Qi just won't let me go out."
"Alright, since everything's fine outside, you don't need to worry," Sister Wu said. "Now that we're seeing you're better, we can leave with peace of mind."
He Tiantian asked in surprise, "Are you going home? Are you coming back?"
“Oh, of course we’re coming back! There are no job openings in the city, and even if there were, it wouldn’t be our family’s turn. Your brother Wang Lei and I are going home to meet our parents and finalize the marriage.” Sister Wu said generously, very satisfied with her marriage, and spoke with great confidence in front of He Tiantian.
"Congratulations to you and Brother Wang!" He Tiantian said with a smile. "I'll give you a big gift when you get married."
"Alright, I won't stand on ceremony with you. I'll take whatever you give me," Sister Wu laughed heartily. "Xiao Fan and Zhang Qingshan are going back to get engaged."
He Tiantian sighed inwardly upon hearing this. In her past life, after Sister Wu and Wang Lei returned to Qijia Village from their hometown after the New Year, they got married and distributed some wedding candies. As for Zhang Qingshan and Ye Xiaofan, they didn't end up together. It seemed that Ye Xiaofan's family demanded too much dowry, and Zhang Qingshan's family, with some siblings, couldn't afford it, so the relationship dragged on. Even after Ye Xiaofan was violated, she still hadn't ended up with Zhang Qingshan.
"Then I congratulate Sister Xiaofan too," He Tiantian said with a smile. "Just like Sister Wu, I will also prepare a big gift for you."
Ye Xiaofan blushed, but thanked her, saying, "Thank you so much. Tian Tian may be small, but she's the most capable among us educated youth."
"It's only because you guys praise me." He Tiantian lowered her head, feeling embarrassed by their comments.
"It's not just us, everyone in Qijia Village says you're amazing. You've outshone us all," Sister Wu laughed. "You're young and skinny, but you're incredibly strong and fast. Even wild boars can't catch you, hahaha..." (To be continued.)
