That day, Qiu Xiaohuan called Tiancai School and asked her to come over on her day off to visit her aunt.
Qiu Xiaohuan told Tian Cai about this matter the last time they met, but Aunt Qiu was not at home at the time and only returned recently.
Qiu Xiaohuan's aunt is much older than Qiu's father. She is Grandma Qiu's eldest daughter. Her husband used to be the Minister of Armed Forces of Jing City and has now retired.
After hanging up the phone, Qiu Xiaohuan happily changed her clothes, which made her mother shake her head.
"Kid, when will you be more stable? You're already thirty, why are you still so unstable?"
Qiu Xiaohuan paused while holding the clothes and turned back in disbelief, "When did I become thirty? I'm clearly only in my twenties!"
Mother Qiu rolled her eyes at her and said, "Yes, she is only 29 years old."
Who cares if she's in her twenties? Twenty-nine is still in her twenties. When people ask her how old she is, she says she's in her twenties. Does that mean the same as thirty?
Qiu Xiaohuan took out a polka-dot shirt from the closet, tried it on, and changed into it in front of Qiu's mother.
This was the one she spotted at first sight in the department store a few days ago, and it cost six dollars even with cloth coupons.
Qiu Xiaohuan bought two without blinking, one for her and one for Tian Cai.
Even the colors are the same.
Mother Qiu couldn't help but sigh as she watched her daughter rush out. She was almost thirty, but it seemed like she was not in a hurry to find a partner.
I wonder if he still can't forget the kid from the Yan family.
My daughter says she doesn't want to date anymore, but several years have passed and she refuses to look at any of the guys introduced to her.
Neighbors, relatives and friends often asked her why Xiaohuan hadn't found a partner yet.
Mother Qiu felt that she had no more excuses to make, because she couldn't even convince herself.
I don’t know if Xiaohuan would listen if I could ask Tian Cai to help talk to her.
Qiu Xiaohuan jogged all the way and finally arrived at the place before Tian Cai, so when Tian Cai got out of the car, he saw her standing on the side of the road wearing a polka-dot shirt.
"Hey, you're dressed so nicely to meet me today?"
Tian Cai teased her.
"Yes, I spent half an hour getting dressed to welcome you. Come on, give me some praise."
"Oh my god, where did this beautiful lady come from? She's really dazzling my eyes!"
The two of them laughed and joked for a while before heading towards Aunt Qiu's house.
The houses here all have courtyards. Although they are not standard courtyard houses, they are independent households. Each house has a main house and side rooms. As for whether the whole family lives there, I don’t know.
Not long after walking in, Qiu Xiaohuan pointed to a house with an osmanthus tree at the door and said, "We're here."
Just as they were about to knock on the door, it opened from the inside.
"Third brother, are you here to pick me up?"
As soon as she saw who was coming from the opposite side, Qiu Xiaohuan immediately smiled happily.
"I was thinking it was almost time but you still hadn't come. Are you dawdling again?" The man smiled gently when he saw Qiu Xiaohuan. Just as he finished speaking, he saw the girl standing behind Qiu Xiaohuan, and the words on his lips stopped suddenly.
Tian Cai just happened to look up and met the other person's gaze.
Don’t know.
But I can guess his identity.
Judging from his appearance, the other person was only in his twenties and was quite good-looking. His face was handsome and strong, and he had some similarities with Qiu Xiaohuan.
He is more than a head taller than Tian Cai. He should be the brother that Qiu Xiaohuan mentioned before and who has the best relationship with her. Well, he seems to be a scientific researcher.
"Third brother, this is my good friend Tian Cai, where is my aunt?"
Jiang Zhiyuan retracted his gaze and coughed uncomfortably. "Hello, Comrade Tian, I'm Xiaohuan's third brother. My name is Jiang Zhiyuan. I've heard Xiaohuan talk about you a long time ago. This time, my mother is going to trouble you!"
"You're welcome."
Jiang Zhiyuan was about to say something when Qiu Xiaohuan became impatient.
"Hey, stop wasting time, let's go in!"
As he said that, he pulled Tian Cai into the yard.
Jiang Zhiyuan swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and had no choice but to follow the two of them in.
The yard is spacious and square, and is kept very clean. Even the vegetables in the vegetable garden in the corner are neatly arranged.
Tian Cai took a quick look and could feel that Aunt Qiu was an old lady with a straightforward personality and who loved cleanliness.
This feeling is even stronger when entering the main room. Everything is arranged in order from high to low, and even the homemade coasters on the table have patterns facing the same direction.
It seems that Aunt Qiu is not just a clean person, she may also have some obsessive-compulsive disorder.
As soon as she entered the door, Qiu Xiaohuan ran happily towards the old lady who was coming out of the inner room like a little girl.
"Auntie, I'm here to see you!"
Qiu Xiaohuan hugged the old lady's arm affectionately and acted coquettishly, as if she had suddenly transformed from a girl who was almost thirty years old into a little girl of fifteen or sixteen.
Although Tian Cai had seen her acting coquettishly several times, he still felt goosebumps.
Aunt Qiu has gray hair, but not many wrinkles on her face. She wears a very simple blue jacket with a very straight collar and cuffs, without a single wrinkle.
She smiled as soon as she saw Qiu Xiaohuan. "Xiaohuan, you haven't come to see me for a while. Today is a perfect day. I'll make you your favorite braised pork later. Ask your third brother to buy some meat."
Qiu Xiaohuan's smile grew even wider. "Then I want to eat the noodles made by my aunt!"
"Okay, Auntie will make it for you!"
Aunt Qiu agreed with a smile, and turned around and noticed Tian Cai standing there.
"Eh? This girl is--" She looked at Tian Cai in confusion.
Qiu Xiaohuan and Jiang Zhiyuan discussed asking Tian Cai to come for medical treatment, but did not tell Aunt Qiu.
Jiang Zhiyuan hurriedly introduced, "Mom, don't you always say that your chest hurts? Xiaohuan feels sorry for you, so she asked Doctor Tian to come and see you."
Qiu Xiaohuan also said, "Yes, aunt, every time you have a headache, my brothers and I feel distressed. Don't look down on Dr. Tian because she is young, she is very capable!"
As she spoke, she winked at Tian Cai.
"Doctor Tian is now the head of the teaching and research department of our Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. She has cured at least a thousand patients, if not eight hundred. She even cured my father's back pain. It's not easy to hire her!"
After hearing this, Aunt Qiu's eyes immediately changed when she looked at Tian Cai.
"Oh my, the little girl is so amazing at such a young age!" When he heard that she cured Mr. Qiu's back pain, he immediately felt a sense of trust in her and said with a smile.
This happened when Tian Cai just started school, and Mr. Qiu’s illness was not too serious. It was just lumbar muscle strain caused by long hours of working. Tian Cai used acupuncture and medicated plasters, and he was almost healed after a few treatments.
"In fact, I have had this disease for many years. I have seen many doctors but there has been no improvement."
"It's all normal during the day, but around 7 or 8 at night, my chest starts to hurt. Sometimes it's severe, sometimes not so severe."
