Chapter 35 Good Friends
It's been half a month since I sent the letter, and I still haven't received a reply. It was not a long journey from Huai City in Ontario to Nan City in Jiangsu Province. Her letter must have reached Huo Yingjie's hands.
To be on the safe side, He Tiantian took a day off and sent the letter in person to inquire about the situation.
This time He Tiantian wrote directly to her parents. As for Huo Yingjie, if she received the letter, she would definitely reply to her, so she didn't want to write more.
"Xiaoyan, who do the letters we receive in the village usually address?" He Tiantian asked. Now we are all in a large group, and we don't have to go directly to someone for anything. She is worried that her letters will be ignored by Qi Shuli like she did in her previous life. , Qi Jianguo put it away.
"The letters are all sent to Qi Shuli in the village, who is Qi Fangfang's second uncle, and then distributed to the individual." Qi Xiaoyan said, "When you ask these, are you thinking about the reply from home?"
He Tiandian nodded and said: "Yes, I miss home so much. Seeing their letters is like seeing my family. I made an appointment with my parents to write home when I get here. After my parents receive the letter, I will reply immediately. I haven’t received the letter yet, I am very worried.”
Qi Shuli is Qi Jianguo's second uncle, and he's not a good guy either. Without their manipulation in the previous life, He Tiantian would not have seen her parents for the last time. In this life, she will never let her letters fall into their hands and let them do whatever they want.
Seeing He Tiantian's disappointment, Qi Xiaoyan held her arm and comforted her: "You are well, which is the best news for your family. The day after tomorrow, my dad will go to the county town, and I want to go with him. If you go, please ask for leave in advance. , I’ll take you around the county.”
He Tiantian thought for a while, she might as well go to the county seat and go to the post office to ask how long it would take for a letter from Nanshi to get here.
Based on her parents' love for her, He Tiantian believed that her parents would reply immediately after getting her letter. Even if she didn't receive the letter and had doubts about Qi Shuli and Qi Jianguo, she couldn't directly question Qi Shuli. Without proof or evidence, Qi Shuli wouldn't admit it even if she questioned him.
In this case, the only way to start is from the county post office.
"Okay, I'm going to ask for leave." He Tiantian said, "I don't have soap for bathing or toothpaste for brushing my teeth. I really need to buy some."
Qi Xiaoyan was very happy to see that He Tiantian was willing to go to the county town with her, thinking that if Qi Fangfang knew about it, she would definitely follow. But Qi Fangfang followed her and didn't buy anything herself, but kept looking at her with envious eyes as she bought, which made Qi Xiaoyan uncomfortable, so Qi Xiaoyan didn't like to go shopping with Qi Fangfang in the county town.
"Sister Tiantian, don't tell Fangfang when we go to the county town, okay? I don't want to go shopping with Fangfang in the county town." Qi Xiaoyan said with a blush, and felt that it seemed wrong to do so. But she just didn't like going out with Qi Fangfang. It was a rare occasion that she wanted to go out happily.
He Tiantian was puzzled. Qi Fangfang and Qi Xiaoyan usually had a good relationship. She asked, "What's wrong? Are they having trouble?"
Qi Xiaoyan blushed in embarrassment, shook her head and said: "Every time Qi Fangfang comes home from my county town, she tells her mother about the things I bought. Qi Fangfang's mother is also a talkative, and she will use sour words when she sees me. He said in a tone that it was the daughter of the village chief who could afford such an expensive ointment, but they were reluctant to buy even the cheap Gala oil, as if my father had embezzled the village's money. . My second brother gave me all my money and industrial votes.”
After listening to Qi Xiaoyan's words, He Tiantian expressed her understanding that Qi Fangfang had such a problem. When she saw someone else had something good, she would talk about it when she got home. If Qi's mother can satisfy Qi Fangfang, Qi's mother will say outside that I am good to my daughter, how noble my daughter is, and I am willing to buy such good things for my daughter. If Qi's mother couldn't afford it, she would say outside that others could afford it and would not waste money on her life. Thinking about a family like Qi Xiaoyan's, her father is the village party secretary, and Qi's mother will always say that the village chief is corrupt.
It’s typical to say grapes are sour when you can’t eat them.
"Haha, in this case, it's really not easy to take Qi Fangfang with me." He Tiantian said, "Actually, I don't want Qi Fangfang to go with me. I don't know why I see her every time I meet her in the village. Her brother is by her side. She talks about how good her brother is and how great he is. He keeps praising her, which makes me feel embarrassed."
Qi Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Then you hide away, I heard Qi Fangfang's mother said in the village before that when her son looks for a wife in the future, he will not look for a girl from the countryside, but must find someone who can read. City girl. You are from the city, you are young and your parents are not around, so don’t be bullied.”
Although Qi Xiaoyan doesn't talk much, it doesn't mean that she doesn't understand the ways of the countryside. She always remembers what her parents say about the village.
"Ah!" He Tiantian exclaimed, "No wonder, I find that his brother is always staring at me, which is quite annoying. I will have to hide away from them in the future and stop interacting with them."
This family is really awesome! He Tiantian finally saw through it.
"That's right." Qi Xiaoyan said, but then explained, "I'm not talking about my wife behind her back, I'm just reminding you to be careful."
Qi Xiaoyan was worried that He Tiantian thought she was a villain who talked behind people's backs, so she quickly explained. If he wasn't a close friend, with Qi Xiaoyan's temperament, even if he knew, he wouldn't talk too much.
"I know, you are doing this for my own good." He Tiantian smiled, "We are good friends, how can I blame you? The next time I write to my parents, I will tell them that I have made a good friend here, so that they can also be happy for me."
Qi Xiaoyan was even happier when she heard what He Tiantian said, and the relationship between the two became closer than before.
While working, He Tiantian told Aunt Liu and Old Man Qi, and adjusted her schedule with them, working more in the next two days, and then taking a day off.
"Tiantian, can you bring me a piece of soap when you go to the county town?" Aunt Liu took out two cents and an industrial ticket from her bosom, "It's the one you usually use, it smells good. My eldest daughter is already thirteen years old. When her father and I went out to work, the eldest daughter took care of the children at home. Now that she is older, she should be washed and dressed up."
Poor parents in the world!
With more children, parents have less energy to devote to each child. This does not mean that they do not love their children, but they just keep it in their hearts and do their best to care for their children.
He Tiantian took it and said, "Okay! I will buy one too. I will choose those that do not dry the skin. I guarantee that they are good quality and cheap."
Aunt Liu was even happier when she saw He Tiantian say this, and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of your lambs for you."
"Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Liu." He Tiantian said gratefully and kept the money and tickets given by Aunt Liu.
It is not easy to go to the county town once, but He Tiantian helped others carry things. Secretary Qi had more villagers to carry things, and he had to write a long list every time. "
If there are bugs, please point them out. Thank you.
