1970 is a little sweet

Chapter 26 The Great Situation

He Tiantian took this sentence as a compliment.

"Hey." He Tiantian smiled honestly, "It's nothing, I just want to make more, if the weather is bad tomorrow, I can survive the day."

"That's true, we not only have to cut fresh grass now, but also prepare some hay for the cattle and sheep to spend the winter." Aunt Liu said, "You go to the meeting, and I will clean up the grass you cut back."

"Then it's hard work, Aunt Liu." He Tiantian smiled, picked up her water bottle, and took several gulps.

After drinking, He Tiantian did not rest, went to clean up the wild vegetables that he had obtained, and made a cold dish for the old man Qi.

Old Man Qi was very happy and said, "Hehe, sweet girl, I'm sorry to trouble you. I have a private plot over there, and I have grown vegetables, but if you can't finish them, you can take some home to eat."

Aunt Liu is not polite, and works as usual, while saying: "Then I'm not welcome, sweet girl, go and see in the yard, are there any cucumbers, beans, gourds, loofah and the like?"

"Hey!" He Tiantian replied, this old man Qi gave her some benefits, probably because he wanted her to help him with meals often in the future.

In the end, one hand is inconvenient. He Tiantian just saw that the tableware in the kitchen was brushed, but it was not clean.He Tiantian couldn't see the sloppyness, so when washing the vegetables, he brushed them.

This vegetable garden is bigger than that of Grandma Qi San's house. It is estimated that this is a private plot opened by the old man Qi.At the foot of the mountain, there is not so much attention!

There are several rows of cucumbers, including early beans, late beans, green beans, tomatoes, eggplants, and peppers.A lot of loofahs climbed on the surrounding fences, and there were green pumpkins on the ground.

Oh, no wonder Old Man Qi is so generous, there is so much stuff here, he can't finish it all by himself!

He Tiantian picked the vegetables. It's a little late today, so I won't pull the weeds. I'll help Old Man Qi clean up the vegetable garden tomorrow.

He Tiantian picked up a whole big basket of things and smiled: "Grandpa Qi, your vegetable garden is really big, and there are a lot of things in it. If you can't finish it, I can pick it up for you, pickle it, and dry it in the sun. In winter, it is best for stewing vegetables."

In winter in Qijia Village, although it is very humid, it is very cold and there are no fresh vegetables, only stored Chinese cabbage and radish.Dried vegetables dried in the summer are good things.

"Okay!" Old Man Qi laughed and his breath trembled, "If you can't finish eating, you can take some back."

"Uncle Qi, those cucumbers are good, I'll get a few later." Aunt Liu is welcome, just put some salt and make a cold dish when she comes home in the evening.

"These tomatoes are pretty good, I'll take two tomatoes." He Tiantian didn't want to be special, so she followed Aunt Liu, "Grandpa Qi, it's still early, I'm free when I'm idle, why don't I make one for you? For dinner, thank you for giving me two persimmons."

Old Man Qi was very happy. Just now, he was worried about how to speak, and this little girl took the initiative to help.Yes, with eyesight.

"Haha, then I'll trouble you." Qi old man said, "If there is anything in the future, just say it, as long as the old man like me can talk, I will definitely help you."

"Many thanks to Grandpa Qi." He Tiantian said crisply, and there was another helper.

Cooking is the easiest thing for He Tiantian to do at his fingertips.

Since there are so many vegetables, when He Tiantian was helping Old Man Qi to stew the eggplant, he put a few pancakes on the side of the pot, which is Uncle Qi's staple food, plus some wild vegetables, cucumber and two cold dishes, and the old man Qi's dinner was ready. .

Old Man Qi was very happy, although Aunt Liu usually cooks for him, but He Tiantian did not do it well, and the taste was not as good.

Aunt Liu over there was already busy, and He Tiantian was over here, and went back to the village with Aunt Liu.

On the first day of work, it was successfully completed, and it was recognized by Old Man Qi and Aunt Liu, laying a solid foundation for future work.

For a few days, He Tiantian completely adapted to the current rural life.

Work at sunrise, and rest at sunset.

Although a little tired, it is nothing compared to the joy in my heart and the hope for the future!
When the sour jujubes became sweet, He Tiantian, carrying a half-basket of sour jujubes, a few cucumbers and tomatoes, came over to visit the educated youths at their destination.Along the way, I met some villagers, some of whom He Tiantian knew, and he took the initiative to say hello, and those who didn't know, smiled, and would not ignore others.

Young people from the city are eating on the big stones at the gate of their destination, talking and laughing while eating.

Huang Jingli saw He Tiantian coming, and quickly waved: "Tiantian, come here and sit here."

"Who is this?" An elder sister who is estimated to be about 20 years old in the next grade turned her head and asked. She didn't look like a girl from the village. She was neatly dressed and fair-skinned. She looked more like an educated youth than them.

Huang Jingli smiled and said: "Sister Wu, she is also from the city, she came with us. It's just that we can't live here anymore, so Secretary Qi arranged for He Tiantian to live at the home of the fellow. That fellow also likes it very much. He Tiantian, so He Tiantian lives there."

He Tiantian put down the basket, saw everyone looking at her, and said generously: "Hello, brothers and sisters, I am He Tiantian, from Nanshi, please take care of everyone in the future."

Since they were all young people from the city, the others didn't embarrass He Tiantian. Besides, He Tiantian was so polite, the older brothers and sisters shouted and brought something to eat.

The male educated youth smiled and the female educated youth was more enthusiastic about He Tiantian.

The educated youth, called Sister Wu, smiled and said, "It's from a big place, it's just polite. Hey? You can just come and play, why did you bring a basket?"

He Tiantian lifted the basket and covered the cloth, and said, "Nothing good, I saw this kind of jujube when I was mowing the lawn a few days ago and picked it back. Grandma Qi said it was a sour jujube, and it became sweet after a few days. , it's delicious, so I'll bring some to my brothers and sisters."

"Sour jujube, that's a good thing. It's delicious. Comrade He has a heart. My surname is Wang, so I'll just call me Wang Lei from now on." said an older man. His name was Wang Lei, and he came here two years ago.Because of the long time here and the relatively long grades, everyone respects him very much, like a big brother.

"Brother Wang Lei." He Tiantian said, "Since it's delicious, I'll go wash it and let's eat together."

Since He Tiantian came over, everyone was chatting and laughing around He Tiantian, while Lin Xiaoru looked at He Tiantian's fair face and arms, which were much whiter than hers.In the past few days of work, Lin Xiaoru has been left behind several times, and his skin has also tanned. There are red marks cut from corn leaves on his face, neck, and hands.

"Tiantian, you are so lucky. If you have a good relationship with your fellow villagers, you will be able to get a light job." Lin Xiaoru expressed her envy, everyone came from the city, from the same place, how can He Tiantian be able to do it? Better off than them!
