Manager Guan looked at the few drawings in his hand. No matter what, he still trusted He Tiantian's judgment.
After all, women understand women best.
"Don't worry, Sister He, I can definitely find someone to make these headscarves and silk scarves!" Manager Guan said confidently.
He Tiantian had just stepped out, but then she pulled her foot back.
She looked at Manager Guan and said very seriously, "I have one more request."
"What are your requirements?" Manager Guan was taken aback for a moment before he realized what was going on. He smiled and said, "Sister He, don't worry, if this batch of misty rain gauze can be sold, I'll buy out your design pattern for one hundred taels of silver, okay?"
“No,” He Tiantian refused. “My request is that you don’t have to call me Sister-in-law He anymore.”
The shopkeeper clearly looks older than her, yet he calls her "sister-in-law"?
He Tiantian had reached her limit!
"Uh..." Manager Guan was a little worried, but businessmen are always shrewd.
He chuckled and said, "Alright, alright, then I'll call you Sister He from now on, okay?"
"That's more like it. But don't forget your hundred taels of silver." It's foolish not to make money when you can; He Tiantian wasn't some high-minded person.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I won't forget."
Manager Guan politely saw He Tiantian to the door. Only after watching He Tiantian walk away did he return to the house and close the door again.
Manager Guan found a mirror and looked at himself from left to right.
Wait, does he really look that old? But he's only twenty years old.
Manager Guan looked down at his slightly protruding belly and touched it with both hands.
Could it be that his gradually gaining weight made Sister He, or rather, Sister He, think he was older than her?
Manager Guan fell into deep thought because of this matter.
As usual, He Tiantian came to the West District to take care of the disaster victims. What's gratifying is that those disaster victims with milder infections will be able to go home in a few days.
Zhao Xiaohe, a small girl, moved back and forth between the tents, assisting the doctors.
After living here for a while, He Tiantian felt that Zhao Xiaohe had grown taller.
Could it be because the food at the government office is quite good? After all, two meat buns a day is something you can't get at home.
Without having time to think further, He Tiantian went to find Doctor Liu.
Today she will continue to assist Doctor Liu, selecting and screening all the medicinal herbs, and then weighing and preparing the medicine.
From sunrise to sunset, I was busy.
He Tiantian repeated this routine day after day, afraid of becoming idle.
In ancient times, without communication tools, she had no idea how her children were doing. Every time she lay in bed and looked out the window at the bright moon, she couldn't help but miss her children.
I wonder how Xiaomingzhu is doing, and whether she's drinking her milk properly.
I wonder what delicious food Zhao Xiaolü and Zhao Denglong have come up with this time, and I also wonder if Zhao Wanzi and Zhao Xiaolan have taken good care of the sheep, chickens, and rabbits at home.
The tomatoes and cucumbers in the backyard must have ripened quite a bit, but she hasn't had a chance to eat them yet.
He Tiantian couldn't help but think about these things, and the more she thought about them, the more lonely she felt.
Just as she was drifting off to sleep...
I vaguely heard people talking in the front yard. The voices were very soft at first, but gradually grew louder.
The noise from the conversation completely woke He Tiantian up. She got dressed, got up, and pushed open the door to go and see what was going on.
Zhao Xiaohe rubbed his sleepy eyes and yawned.
"Auntie, what's going on? It's so noisy..."
He usually sleeps soundly without a sound, but he was woken up today.
"I don't know, Auntie will go check. You go back inside and lie down." He Tiantian closed her door and walked towards the front yard.
Zhao Xiaohe nodded drowsily and went back to his room.
He Tiantian came to the front yard and saw about a dozen people standing there.
Magistrate Liu arrived just then. He glanced at He Tiantian but didn't say anything.
Master Zhang cleared his throat and said, "Gentlemen, please calm down. Let's go to the council hall to discuss this matter."
He Tiantian followed along as if possessed, and sat at the very back.
Since these people are all village heads, why didn't Zhao, the village head of Changfeng Village, come?
Magistrate Liu sat at the very front and took a sip of tea.
Then, glancing at the head of Peach Blossom Village sitting at the front, he asked, "Head of the Pavilion, is there anything urgent that brings you here so late at night?"
Tao, the pavilion chief, fell to his knees with a thud. He was quite old, and this fall must have been quite painful.
"Your Excellency, the drought in our village has not yet been resolved. Yet, many people have already perished in the village."
Magistrate Liu recalled those people who had been imprisoned a few days ago and were now serving in the western district; they seemed to be from Peach Blossom Village.
However, Magistrate Liu did not speak immediately, but asked, "Tell me the specifics. The drought is now a fact, but Chengjiazhuang, Wanjiacun, and several nearby villages have all found water sources."
Tao, the village head, was naturally unaware of the situation. He continued to weep, "It's strange, all twenty-three of the missing people from our village were men. I only found out when their families came to me."
"After asking around, I learned that these men said they were going out to try their luck and find some food and water. But they've been gone for over ten days and haven't been seen since. I asked around and found out that they disappeared in Changfeng Village. It's hateful that Chief Zhao of Changfeng Village is unreasonable; he didn't tell me where the people from our village went!"
