Pei Zheng reminded Tangtang not to scream.
Tangtang stuck out her tongue at him and made faces.
Qiao Zhiyi thought the little girl was quite lively and cute, and seemed fearless. She must be spoiled at home.
"Can I braid your hair?" Qiao Zhiyi said.
She saw the little girl playing outside. She was sweating and her hair was messy. It seemed that she just tied her hair into a low ponytail with a hair tie, and the hair tie had lost its elasticity.
"Okay!" Tangtang responded happily.
Qiao Zhiyi took out her own comb to comb her hair. After it was smooth, she braided her hair. She was very patient during the process, with a smile on her face.
Pei Zheng saw all of this.
Qiao Zhiyi braided two cute little braids for Tangtang and tied them with her own hair tie. Tangtang went to get a mirror.
The five-year-old girl already knows how to be vain.
"Dad, do I look good?" the little girl asked with a smile.
"It looks good..." Pei Zheng almost rolled his eyes at her when he said this.
"Be serious." The little girl was unhappy with his attitude.
Pei Zheng was helpless, "It looks good!"
In the end, the little girl was still not satisfied, "Your attitude is still not serious enough..."
Pei Zheng raised his hand as if to hit her, and Tangtang once again hid in Qiao Zhiyi's arms, "My dad is so fierce, wuwuwu..."
Qiao Zhiyi laughed so hard.
They are so loving.
Pei Zheng went out again at noon. Tangtang wanted to take a nap with Qiao Zhiyi, and Qiao Zhiyi did not refuse.
While Qiao Zhiyi and Tangtang were taking a nap, Pei Zheng brought back some pork and pork offal to treat Qiao Zhiyi.
Pei's mother was very comforted to see that her son finally came to his senses.
In the afternoon, Qiao Zhiyi and Tangtang took a nap, then got up to boil water and wash their hair. She also helped Tangtang wash her hair.
Pei's mother saw all of this.
Seeing the two of them getting along happily, she felt so happy.
Finding a wife for my son is also the same as finding a stepmother for Tangtang, right?
However, Lou Xinyue was not willing to be Tangtang's stepmother. She didn't even pretend to be a stepmother when she came home. The word "disdain" was clearly written on her face, as if she was sure that since Pei Zheng had a broken hand, she had to be his.
Although her son is not short of money now, it is indeed difficult for him to find a wife as he has a child and a disabled hand. In the past, Pei's mother would endure it as much as she could. After all, she was watching over her granddaughter and would not let her suffer. But now with Qiao Zhiyi as a comparison, it seems that her endurance in the past was in vain.
After wringing her hair dry, Qiao Zhiyi asked Tangtang to take her to the state-owned pharmacy in the commune to buy some neurological drugs that Pei Zheng needed.
Mother Pei walked all the way to the door and said, "Come back soon."
"Okay, auntie."
They came to a pharmacy called "Kangrenfang". Most of the medicines sold here are Western medicines. Qiao Zhiyi bought methylcobalamin tablets, which is an effective medicine for treating hemiplegia. It can nourish nerves and promote the recovery of nerve function.
However, many medicines were unavailable here, so she asked the clerk if they sold any Chinese medicine. Perhaps because it was state-owned, the clerk's attitude was nonchalant, with a hint of arrogance in his heart. "No, who buys Chinese medicine now? It was a product of feudal backwardness a few years ago, a remnant of poison..."
Qiao Zhiyi found this jarring, but she smiled gracefully. "I remember the country has recognized the value of Traditional Chinese Medicine and has reopened TCM programs in major universities. So, are you questioning the country's stance and decision?"
The clerk choked and his face changed.
What a powerful little mouth!
Then, looking at the other person's clothes and conversation, I judged that he was an educated person.
Either educated youth or college students...
The college entrance examination was just resumed last year, and thousands of people were competing for the single-plank bridge. Now it is summer vacation, and there should be many college students returning to the countryside.
The girl in front of me should be a college student!
Maybe he's still studying the unpopular major of Traditional Chinese Medicine...
Qiao Zhiyi didn't mean to offend anyone, she was just emphasizing the facts. After she finished speaking, she took Tangtang's hand and left the pharmacy.
The clerk cursed inwardly. At this moment, the pharmacy manager came over and asked, "Are you quarreling with the customer again?"
This clerk is his relative. Relying on his uncle who is the manager, he always neglects customers in the store. Recently, the weather has been hot, and his temper has become even worse. He often gives a cold shoulder to comrades who come to buy medicine. He has received many complaints.
The clerk said, "The woman who just left me insisted on asking me if I sold any Chinese medicine. I asked her who would buy Chinese medicine these days, and she got angry with me. Isn't that infuriating?"
The manager said, "Maybe she's a country bumpkin from somewhere. Who cares? Just do your job and don't bring your emotions to work."
"I understand." The clerk didn't dare to argue any further.
Qiao Zhiyi bought the medicine and took Tangtang home. When passing by the supply and marketing cooperative, the little girl Tangtang could not walk and looked at Qiao Zhiyi with her big watery eyes pleadingly.
Qiao Zhiyi smiled and took her inside to buy some snacks.
Tangtang bought three hawthorn rolls for one cent and ten fruit candies for one cent, spending a grocery ticket. She was very satisfied.
Qiao Zhiyi bought the little girl a hair tie and a flower, as well as a few colorful clips. Tangtang was even happier, "Thank you, Mom..."
Tangtang felt that this new mother was so gentle and kind to her, not at all like Lou Xinyue, that bad woman who always looked down on her.
Qiao Zhiyi felt awkward being called "Mom" outside, so she walked outside the supply and marketing cooperative and patiently said to Tangtang, "Tangtang, your father and I are not married yet, so you can't call me Mom. Just call me Sister Zhizhi... Forget it, just call me Auntie..."
