Chapter 58 Special Care
Liang Hongyu saw that He Tiantian understood everything at once, and she liked her even more. If He Tiantian was not young, she would have wanted to pair He Tiantian with her second son.
He Tiantian felt a little uncomfortable when Liang Hongyu looked her up and down. Although she was not annoyed, such eyes always made people uncomfortable.
"Aunt Liang, it's getting late. I have to go cut grass." He Tiantian said. She didn't want Liang Hongyu to continue to look at her, as if she could see flowers from her body.
"Yes, I almost forgot that I had to go to work." Liang Hongyu smiled and said, "Okay, you go quickly. You don't have to go to the deep mountains and old forests. It's dangerous there. Just cut grass halfway up the mountain."
"Got it, Aunt Liang." He Tiantian agreed and started to turn around and go up the mountain.
Liang Hongyu likes to chat with He Tiantian, but now she is busy with farming and has no time. She will find an opportunity to chat with He Tiantian more in the future.
He Tiantian plans to cut grass near the cave today and release the snake king to swim in the pool in the cave.
"You can't be too far away from me, understand?" The snake king was full of joy, but before leaving, he explained that his current ability was not enough to climb a long way to find He Tiantian.
He Tiantian readily agreed and said, "I'll cut the grass here. I'll call you when I'm done. It's still the same sentence, Gulu Gulu Mi, right?"
"Well, so kind!" After saying that, the snake king went through the rustling grass and got into the cave.
He Tiantian was cutting grass outside. Now she was very strong. The sickle was also polished very brightly by Old Man Qi, and she cut the grass very quickly.
He Tiantian took advantage of the coolness and cut more. There was a large open space on the mountain, so she could dry it for a while.
About an hour later, He Tiantian looked at the large area of green grass behind her and felt a sense of accomplishment.
This was the result of her hard work.
Sweat flowed down He Tiantian's fair cheeks. She wiped the sweat with a towel, rested for a while, drank some water, and started to put it in the basket.
"Gulu Gulu Mi!" He Tiantian tried to recite the spell taught by the Snake King. As soon as she finished reciting it, the Snake King appeared on the grass in front of her, "It really works! We should go down the mountain."
"Okay then." The Snake King was obviously reluctant to leave, but he had to leave because he couldn't be too far away from He Tiantian. To some extent, after the Snake King bit He Tiantian, they had already formed a contract and could be understood as a whole.
"We will come up tomorrow, and you can still go and play." He Tiantian said. Her task was heavy. She had to prepare fodder before the busy farming season. After the busy farming season was over, except for the elderly and children, everyone else had to go to dig the river (build local water conservancy facilities and clean up the river), so there was not much time left for He Tiantian, and she had to speed up.
The Snake King didn't say much. He already understood the current situation. If He Tiantian wanted to live well and eat well, she had to work hard.
When the Snake King reached her left ankle, He Tiantian clearly felt that her body suddenly became cooler and she stopped sweating.
It turns out that the snake king is a mobile, living central air conditioner!
As He Tiantian guessed, with the protection of the snake king, He Tiantian was no longer hot, and she didn't even sweat, feeling particularly refreshed.
He Tiantian secretly calculated in her heart that it would be best not to let the snake king leave her ankle when working in the hot weather in the future! However, this was just He Tiantian's thought. Every time she went near the cave, the snake king would consciously go over. He Tiantian could only infer when the snake king left and when he came back based on the temperature of his body.
When she reached the foot of the mountain, He Tiantian dumped the grass in the yard of the animal husbandry team, and the old man came over with a cane.
"Grandpa Bai, slow down." He Tiantian hurried forward to support the old man Bai, "Anyway, no outsiders are coming today, you don't have to be so nervous!"
"Haha, it's okay, I've been sitting here and I'm idle, sitting here can also dry grass." The old man Bai said, "You are also very tired, go take a break and drink some water."
He Tiantian drank a few sips of water and smiled, "There is still a lot of cut grass on the mountain. I have to go up the mountain, so I won't rest."
After saying this, He Tiantian continued to go up the mountain without stopping. After running back and forth three times, she got all the cut grass down.
Today, with the help of the snake king, He Tiantian caught a wild rabbit.
Thinking that Liang Hongyu asked her to take good care of the old man Bai, He Tiantian went down the mountain, cleaned the rabbit, and fried a pot of rabbit meat, picked long beans from the vegetable garden and stewed them together. The fur of the wild rabbit was placed on the side and was picked up by the old man Qi. It can be used as warm clothes in winter.
"There are few cotton tickets now, sweet girl, I'll clean this rabbit skin for you, you can make a fur coat in winter, it's very warm." Old man Qi smiled. Since He Tiantian came to work in the animal husbandry team, she often ate pheasant meat and wild rabbit meat, and accumulated a lot of rabbit skin.
"Thank you, Grandpa Qi." He Tiantian smiled, "I have prepared the food. I filled an enamel pot and took it back for Grandma Qi to eat."
Although the old man was drying grass, he was hungry from his constant swallowing and looking into the kitchen from time to time.
When Professor Gu, Professor Wang and others came back from the field, He Tiantian had just finished cooking and was about to leave.
After these people came back, they had food to eat and were very grateful to He Tiantian.
"Hey, today thanks to Tian girl, otherwise I would have to come back to cook, and I wouldn't have been able to rest at noon, and I wouldn't have been able to work in the afternoon." Professor Gu ate coarse flour cakes and stewed wild rabbit meat with long beans, and his mouth was full of oil.
After eating, they can rest for a while, which is very rare for them who are old!
The old man nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, we old guys are lucky to be in labor reform in Qijia Village together. Everyone works hard and gets through the special period, and life will be better."
Including old man Qi, the eight people are very grateful to He Tiantian, and they all think in their hearts that if they have the opportunity in the future, they will definitely repay He Tiantian.
He Tiantian went home, took out the enamel pot from the backpack, opened the lid, put it on the table and said: "Grandma Qi, it's time to eat."
Grandma Qi saw the rabbit meat on the table and didn't ask. This sweet girl is a good one, she is very capable, and she made pancakes instead of cooking.
"Tiantian, Xiaoyan's mother, did she go to find you?" Grandma Qi looked outside the door and asked in a low voice when no one came.
He Tiantian was stunned, then replied: "She went to find me, Grandma Qi, how did you know Aunt Liang went to find me?"
"I was working at the threshing ground and saw Liang Hongyu going to the direction of the animal husbandry team." Grandma Qi said, "Don't worry, no one else knows except me."
'Oh oh! "He Tiantian was relieved, as long as she was not being monitored. After all, Liang Hongyu's request to her should not be known to others, otherwise not only Village Chief Qi would be in trouble, but she would also be implicated.
