He Tiantian smiled, not caring at all.
"Lingli, let's go." Liu Lingli's friend called to her from not far away, glancing over from time to time.
"Okay, I'm going now." Liu Lingli said with a smile, "Sweetie, I'm leaving now. I'll come visit you again when I have time."
“Okay!” He Tiantian said with a fake smile. Since Liu Lingli did it this way, she would do it this way too.
They didn't openly break off relations, but they were still at odds with each other.
After taking only two steps, Liu Lingli said, "Sweetie, I was wrong before. I envied you for having a good family and nice clothes. Even in the countryside, you are still better than me in every way, so I felt a little unbalanced and jealous of you. I hope you won't blame me. I will try my best to adjust myself in the future."
Liu Lingli's face was calm, without her fake smile and sharp tongue.
He Tiantian was puzzled and couldn't understand why Liu Lingli suddenly seemed like a different person.
“Actually, everyone has their own life. Just live your own life well. While you are envying me, aren’t I envying you too?” He Tiantian said seriously, wanting to see what Liu Lingli really wanted to do.
In her past life, He Tiantian envied Liu Lingli for having both parents and siblings, and for later, through her own efforts, she was admitted to a vocational school.
"Huh?" Liu Lingli asked, puzzled. "You actually envy me sometimes?"
"Yes," He Tiantian said with a wry smile, "you just don't know it. As long as you're not sarcastic to me, I won't be sharp-tongued and make fun of you."
He Tiantian is currently single!
I will treat you the same way you treat me!
"I really didn't expect that!" Liu Lingli laughed, turned and left, without asking He Tiantian what she envied about her!
After Liu Lingli left, He Tiantian went home with Qi Xiaoyan.
The next day, after seeing off the commune cadres, He Tiantian went to find Qi Xiaoyan to go to the livestock team, followed by Qi Ergou.
"Brother Er Gou, is there something you need to do at the livestock team?" He Tiantian asked curiously, especially after seeing the wry smile on Qi Er Gou's face. After all, Qi Er Gou had just had a stroke of good luck and was able to go to university.
Qi Ergou smiled wryly and said, "I won't lie to you, Tiantian. Although I graduated from junior high school several years ago, my grades were only average back then, and I didn't get into high school. So many years have passed, and I've forgotten almost everything in the textbooks. In two months, I'll be going to university. How am I supposed to learn the university material if my foundation isn't solid?"
“That’s true. If you don’t read for a long time, you will definitely forget what you read,” He Tiantian said with a smile. “Fortunately, I have time to review.”
Qi Ergou nodded and said, "It is indeed an honor to be able to go to university now, but if my grades are not good and I can't graduate, then I will have no face to go home."
Qi Ergou is an honest man, which makes him feel a lot of pressure.
"As long as you study hard, your grades won't be bad," He Tiantian encouraged. "I have some textbooks here; if you need them, I can lend them to you first."
Qi Xiaoyan was even happier to see He Tiantian lend Qi Ergou his books. Previously, in the village, only Qi Jianguo's family had high school textbooks since he was in high school. Now that the two families had a falling out, they couldn't very well borrow textbooks from Qi Jianguo's house.
She knew He Tiantian had the textbooks, but was a little embarrassed to ask. Now that He Tiantian had said so herself, she didn't need to say anything.
"Thank you, Sweetie." Qi Ergou smiled憨厚ly and scratched his head.
He Tiantian had a good impression of Qi Ergou, describing him as honest and simple. As mentioned before, although Qi Ergou didn't have great abilities in his previous life, he had one skill that others couldn't match: he always knew how to follow the right people.
"You're welcome," He Tiantian replied. This was the kind of blessed person that Grandma Qi often talked about.
Qi Ergou went to the livestock team with them and took out his old junior high school textbooks. It turned out that he had started studying them last night, writing down all the questions he didn't know and all the unfamiliar words, so he could ask Professor Wang and Professor Gu for help.
He Tiantian saw Qi Ergou's notebook; the handwriting on it was strong, powerful, and very beautiful.
With Professor Gu and Professor Wang around, tutoring Qi Ergou in junior high school was very easy.
Qi Ergou was also serious. Although he couldn't grasp everything immediately, once he mastered a type of problem, he could apply what he learned to other problems.
He Tiantian also studied along with them, but she asked about high school courses. She didn't need to ask about junior high school courses, as she had only graduated recently and had excellent grades.
Zhao Dajiao doesn't let Qi Ergou do anything now, she just wants him to study hard and catch up on his studies so that he can become a government employee after graduating from university, which will bring her pride.
Furthermore, Qi Ergou's betrothed is the daughter of the village secretary of Shanyangdaogou.
When the village party secretary heard that his future son-in-law had won a university spot, he was so surprised he couldn't stop smiling! He quickly asked his wife to pack some things and send them over to his future son-in-law.
Firstly, it's to show concern for the future son-in-law; secondly, it's also to remind the man's family that you are engaged and they can't abandon you after starting a relationship.
Secretary Yang even had his daughter make a pair of shoes for Qi Ergou.
Having served as the director of the Women's Federation for so many years, Zhao Dajiao naturally understood what the other party meant. She made an exception and allowed Qi Ergou to take a day off. He tidied himself up, took a piece of floral polyester fabric from home, and went to visit his fiancée, Yang Xiuxiu.
The Yang family intends to proceed with the marriage.
Zhao Dajiao wanted her son to go to university without any worries, since he had a wife and children at home and couldn't focus on his studies.
Unable to make up her mind, Zhao Dajiao went to see Secretary Qi.
He Tiantian and Qi Xiaoyan were inside the house when they heard Zhao Dajiao's words, so they secretly peeked out from the doorway to listen.
“I understand your concerns, but have you thought about what would happen if Er Gou fell in love with one of the female students at school?” Secretary Qi asked, his voice tinged with worry.
"No, really?" Zhao Dajiao hesitated slightly. Her son was so honest; he didn't seem like the type to mess around like that!
Secretary Qi took a puff of his pipe and said earnestly, "Do you remember Er Xiong's father from the next village? Back then, his father went to fight in the war, leaving his mother and two children at home, where they suffered so much. Later, his father became a regimental commander, and everyone thought they could finally reunite and live a good life. But instead of his father, they received a letter of divorce, and his mother died of anger on the spot."
"Yes, I've heard about this before, but my Er Gou..." Director Zhao said, "My Er Gou wouldn't do such a thing, would he?"
“Sister-in-law, you can’t be so sure. Times have changed. If the Yang family has these concerns, and we don’t agree, they’ll feel even more uncertain. Besides, it was originally scheduled for May. We can’t just cancel the wedding because of school. It would make the girl feel awkward in the village. There are always gossipy people who will say sour things to Xiuxiu. If things go on, they might even cause trouble!” Secretary Qi said earnestly. He and Secretary Yang of Yangdaogou were sworn brothers. (To be continued.)
