Chapter 16 A Sinister Smile

Just then, Qi Ergou walked in with a middle-aged woman.

He Tiantian knew this person. She was Qi Jianguo's second aunt Wang Shuilian, the only barefoot doctor in the surrounding villages. There is a small clinic in the next door Hujia Village. Those who are not in good health and can't walk can ask her to come to the house directly for injections and drips, and prescribe some Chinese herbal medicine.

Rural people usually fight against illnesses, and only go to the doctor when they can't bear it.

Wang Shuilian is about thirty-four or thirty-five years old now, with a big braid and thick eyebrows and big eyes. Before liberation, the Wang family opened a medicine shop, and the Wang family has been practicing medicine for generations, so this is a family craft. People eat grains and cereals, so there is no way they don't get sick, and they all need the Wang family, so the Wang family is very prestigious in the neighborhood.

He Tiantian has not forgotten that in her previous life, Qi's mother and Wang Shuilian's brother who worked in the county hospital said that she had health problems and couldn't have children. In this life, He Tiantian will not let Qi Jianguo's family go, and she will not let the accomplice go.

Grandma Qi San twisted her foot, and she didn't know if she had any broken bones, so she had to call a doctor.

"Aunt Qi San, come here, let me take a look at you, are there any broken bones?" Wang Shuilian's second aunt is Qi Jianguo's mother, who often comes to Qijia Village and knows most of the people in Qijia Village.

Grandma Qi San smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you."

Wang Shuilian sat on the small stool brought by He Tiantian, and rolled up Grandma Qi San's trouser legs. Her ankle was slightly red and swollen. Wang Shuilian touched Grandma Qi San's ankle a few times, and she groaned in pain.

"It hurts a little, Auntie San, bear with it for a while." Wang Shuilian said, constantly changing her technique and massaging Grandma Qi San's ankle. "Fortunately, the bones are not injured. It will be fine after a few days of rest. I'll make some ointment for you when I go back, and I'll ask the children to bring it to you later."

"Thank you for your hard work." Grandma Qi San said, "How much is it? I'll give it to you."

Wang Shuilian did not refuse. She couldn't work in vain in the hot weather. She said: "Just give me fifty cents for the ointment I made myself. It's enough for seven days and it's guaranteed to reduce the swelling."

"Tian girl, go to the cabinet in my room to get money for the doctor." Grandma Qi San said, just about to tell He Tiantian where the money was.

He Tiantian brought a basin of water and put it on the side. She took out fifty cents from her body and said with a smile: "Doctor, wash your hands first. Grandma, I'll pay for this first, and you can pay it back when you get better."

It was her first day here, so it was not good to look for the place where Grandma Qi San kept the money. After all, she was not very familiar with it. She paid first, which was the most appropriate way.

Qi Ergou had been watching from the side. Thinking of He Tiantian's performance along the way, he knew the importance of advancing and retreating, and felt that this girl was not bad.

Wang Shuilian looked He Tiantian up and down and said with a smile: "Aunt San, is this your relative?"

"No." Grandma Qi San said with a smile, "I am not so lucky. This girl is an educated youth and just came to our village today. There is no place to live in the educated youth point, so I brought this girl to live in my home and she can also keep me company."

"Not bad, the little girl is not bad." Wang Shuilian praised. Although she is young, she looks good. If you have a good relationship with Aunt Qi San in the village, you can live more peacefully in the village in the future.

He Tiantian lowered her head, looking embarrassed.

"Aunt San, I have to go somewhere else. Please wait a moment. My children will bring the medicine before dinner." Wang Shuilian said, washed her hands, took the money, and prepared to leave.

He Tiantian sent Wang Shuilian to the door and said, "Doctor, take care."

He Tiantian's attitude made Wang Shuilian very happy.

In the countryside, ordinary people love and hate doctors, and no one is as respectful as He Tiantian.

"Don't send me off, go back." Wang Shuilian said politely. Just as she was about to leave, she heard someone calling her.

He Tiantian's heart skipped a beat. She still saw that person on the first day.

"Aunt, why are you here?" Qi Jianguo walked over slowly. It's not that Qi Jianguo can't walk fast, but if he walks fast, he will show the shortcomings of long and short legs, which is particularly ugly.

He Tiantian glanced at Qi Jianguo and turned into the house.

The person was the same as before, wearing a white shirt, blue pants, black cloth shoes on his feet, and neat short hair. At first glance, he looked gentle and refined.

When Qi Jianguo saw He Tiantian for the first time, he was very surprised. At first glance, she was a girl from the city, with fair skin, good figure, and good looks.

"I'll massage Aunt Qi's feet." Wang Shuilian said with a smile, "I have something else to do, so I won't go to your house. I'll come to your house when I have time."

"Okay, I won't delay you." Qi Jianguo said. He also knew that this aunt was a barefoot doctor nearby. She was usually very busy, but she couldn't let go of the girl she just saw. "Aunt, who sent you out just now? Aunt Qi's relative?"

Wang Shuilian smiled and said, "It's not Aunt Qi's relative, but a young man from the city. There is no place to stay, so he lives in Aunt Qi's house."

After Wang Shuilian finished speaking, she left in a hurry.

At this time, bicycles were rare. Wang Shuilian didn't have one, so she walked everywhere.

When Qi Jianguo heard "young girl from the city", his eyes lit up. If that was the case, it would be much easier.

He Tiantian went in quickly and didn't see a sinister smile on Qi Jianguo's handsome face.

Seeing that He Tiantian could take care of He San's grandmother, Qi Ergou said goodbye and said, "Tian'er, I'll leave San's grandmother to you. I left yesterday morning and hadn't even entered the house yet. I have to go home now to see her."

"Qi Erge, I will take care of grandma." He Tiantian said, "You have something to do, go and do it first."

After Qi Ergou left, He Tiantian started to make dinner. She used the food that He Tiantian received today, cooked two bowls of rice porridge, fried beans, and cucumbers.

"Oh, Tiantian, your cooking skills are amazing. The same meal, how come it's not so delicious when I make it." Grandma Qi San praised, drinking thick rice porridge, fragrant beans, crispy cucumber.

"Grandma Qi has given me the award, so I'll make whatever I want. If there's anything that doesn't suit your taste, just say it." He Tiantian said, finally having a satisfying meal. Although precious rice was used, this was the first day at Grandma Qi San’s house, so I couldn’t be stingy.

Grandma Qi San paid special attention to these details after eating and rinsing her mouth. Before liberation, Grandma Qi San was a lady from a wealthy family and had rules.

He Tiantian cleaned up the dishes, washed them and put them in the kitchen. She moved a small bench and sat next to Grandma Qi San. She said, "Grandma Qi, tell me about the things in the village. Secretary Qi said, the day after tomorrow Our new educated youth are about to start work, and I don’t know how to do farm work, so I don’t know what to pay attention to.”

Seeing the worried look on He Tiantian's face, Grandma Qi San couldn't help laughing and said: "You are young, don't worry, Secretary Qi will not arrange heavy work for you. The people in our village are all okay on the surface. They're decent on the surface, but there are a few who are dishonest in private. Whatever you do in the future, don't be left alone, and you should be fine."

Thank you for the tip and recommendation. At the end of the month, I will issue a unified thank you note.
