Although Zhou Bei was depressed, he was also a man of reason. Knowing that the outcome could not be changed, he simply accepted it.
Zhang Zhaodi smiled with satisfaction: "It's good that you think so. As long as she's born from us, she's our baby. Let's name her Zhou Beibei."
Qi Tianxin used the health-enhancing pills for a week and felt much better. Although they were a bit expensive, they were worth the price, so she came to Yu Rujia's place twice more to get more medicine.
Seeing that she didn't have much money, Qi Tianxin asked Zou Jiahui for more money, thinking that Zou Jiahui owed her.
She and Zou Jiahui were high school classmates and went to the same rural area together, so they knew each other very well.
She was a premature baby and in poor health. In order to have someone to take care of her in the countryside, she readily agreed to Zou Jiahui's pursuit.
The two enjoyed a period of tender affection, but unfortunately, it didn't last long. After the reform and opening up, Zou Jiahui went into business.
In order to expand and strengthen his business, he became involved with the daughter of a wealthy businessman, and then abandoned her, who was physically weak and had not been able to conceive for several years after marriage.
To make a living, she had no choice but to work herself to death despite her frail health.
Unexpectedly, she came back to life, back when she had just been sent to the countryside, before she and Zou Jiahui were married.
If she doesn't use this money, it will leave Zou Jiahui with capital to start his own business in the future, ultimately benefiting the rich girl for nothing.
With this in mind, Qi Tianxin felt even more at ease using Zou Jiahui's money.
After finishing work in the afternoon, Qi Tianxin went into the Yu family home and went to Yu Rujia's clinic as if she knew the way well: "Yu Zhiqing, please get me another week's worth of medicine."
Yu Rujia didn't take the medicine immediately. Instead, she held out her hand and said, "You've been taking medicine for two or three weeks. Let me take your pulse and see how much your body has recovered."
Upon hearing this, Qi Tianxin stretched out her hand in front of her: "With such good medical skills, why would Yu Zhiqing come to a place like the countryside?"
Yu Rujia took her pulse and said, "I think the countryside is great. Your health is already half recovered. You can stop taking the medicine after another month."
Qi Tianxin asked in surprise, "Can my body really be cured?"
The Qi family had tried their best to treat her, seeing her many times, but they couldn't cure her. Later, due to limited funds, the Qi family could no longer afford to treat her, and she remained sickly.
Unexpectedly, she met someone in the countryside who could cure her.
Qi Tianxin has wondered why Yu Rujia's family wasn't in Shangfen Brigade in her previous life.
She thought about it for a long time and asked some people, but no one felt there was anything wrong with Yu Rujia's family being here.
Qi Tianxin, unable to figure it out, simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, many aspects of the brigade were different from her previous life, so it wouldn't be strange if another Yu family came out.
Her health is the most important thing right now.
Yu Rujia: "As long as you take your medication on time, you can recover to a normal level."
Qi Tianxin: "Thank you, Yu Zhiqing." This thank you was heartfelt; no one understood the importance of having a healthy body better than her.
Just as Qi Tianxin was about to leave with the medicine, Gao Guojing came out of the kitchen carrying dishes.
His tall and handsome appearance made Qi Tianxin's eyes dazzle for a moment. After recovering, she said, "This must be Gao Zhiqing, right?"
The Shangfen Brigade is neither too big nor too small. Gao Guojing has been here for almost a month. His usual job is to repair waste, which can be done from home.
In his spare time, he would go up the mountain to collect firewood or look for wild game. This was the first time Qi Tianxin had met Gao Guojing.
She had heard of the two Gao brothers; she had already met the older brother, Gao Shujing. The unfamiliar man who was now openly appearing at the Yu family's house must be the younger brother, Gao Guojing.
Gao Guojing paused in his steps toward the restaurant: "Yes, I am. And who are you?"
After Yu Rujia and Gao Shujing got married, everyone except Gao Guojing lived in Yu Rujia's courtyard, and their three meals a day were cooked in the kitchen there.
Moreover, her side is larger, making it more convenient for her to move around.
The infirmary was originally the main hall of worship, and it was only ten meters away from the kitchen behind it. Just now, Qi Tianxin only saw Gao Guojing. When he stopped to reply, she saw the stir-fried pork belly he was holding.
From a distance, she couldn't tell what kind of meat it was, but the bowl was full of meat, with hardly any vegetables in it. Even from nearly ten meters away, she could smell the rich aroma of meat.
She wouldn't get to eat such good food even during the Lunar New Year, but at the Gao family's place, she gets to eat it even without a holiday.
Qi Tianxin admitted that she was a little jealous: "I am Qi Tianxin, a sent-down youth who arrived a few days earlier than you. It's nice to meet you. Is there some happy occasion in your family today? Otherwise, why would you be eating such a sumptuous meal?"
Gao Guojing glanced at the stir-fried pork belly in his hand, which seemed too lavish to outsiders: "My brother happened to see it being sold when he came back from town, so he brought it back with him."
Yu Rujia, who was still in the infirmary, said, "If Qi Zhiqing is alright, please go back. We're going to eat."
When she first woke up that day, the hatred she showed several times made Yu Rujia guess that she was a reborn person.
Yu Rujia didn't care about her past experiences or future prospects. As long as she didn't offend his family, she could do whatever she wanted.
Qi Tianxin glanced at Yu Rujia and gave an embarrassed smile: "Ah, I'm a little excited to meet the legendary educated youth. I'm sorry to have disturbed your meal. I'll be leaving now."
When Qi Tianxin returned to the educated youth compound, she asked Ding Xiaoxi, an old educated youth, about the Yu family.
Ding Xiaoxi was the know-it-all in the educated youth compound; nothing in the team could be kept from her eyes.
Qi Tianxin: "Ding Zhiqing, you've been here for a year. Do you know much about Officer Gao's family?"
Ding Xiaoxi asked in confusion, "Why are you asking that?"
Qi Tianxin: "I just went to Yu Zhiqing's place to get medicine, and I saw that there was a whole bowl of meat in his dinner. It's not a holiday or festival. Even if Officer Gao has a high income, his family is large. Is it okay for him to spend money so lavishly?"
If she knew that stir-fried pork belly was just one of several meat dishes at the Yu family's dinner, and that there were several other dishes that were just as good as stir-fried pork belly, her eyes would probably pop out of her head in shock.
Besides Dorji, who is still a baby drinking milk, even three- or four-year-old Duoxi has an appetite that rivals that of an adult man in the south. The others in their family eat even more, and there really isn't enough food for them.
Ding Xiaoxi rolled her eyes, didn't reply immediately, and just looked at her with a smile.
Qi Tianxin had no relation to her, so naturally she had to offer something in return for asking her for information.
Qi Tianxin had lived for several decades in her previous life and understood Ding Xiaoxi's personality. She knew how to navigate social situations and reluctantly handed over two meat tickets to Ding Xiaoxi.
The latter took the hostage and readily answered her question.
