For the first time, Xu Xiulan felt that her daughter was actually better than her son.
My daughter is so considerate!
No wonder it’s my mother’s little cotton-padded jacket.
Xu Xiulan's motherly heart was completely awakened by the well-behaved and sensible He Tiantian.
Originally, Xu Xiulan wanted to go to He Tiantian to order something.
Well, when He Tiantian was brought back by Zhou Chuanguo, he packed a lot of luggage.
Inside were He Tiantian's clothes, books and some knick-knacks.
Xu Xiulan remembered that Zhou Chuanguo and Feng Mingjie had always doted on their daughter He Tiantian and bought her many good things since she was a child.
And that dead old woman from the Zhou family raised He Tiantian with her own hands, not to mention how rare Tiantian was.
That old guy must have saved a lot of good things when he was delivering babies when he was young.
Then she went to a large hospital in the provincial capital and became a doctor. The salary and benefits were not low, and she was very rich.
According to the old woman's love for He Tiantian, she would definitely give Tiantian some money or something before she died.
Xu Xiulan felt that she was not too greedy. She could just ask for a gold coin or a gold bracelet, and the money in exchange would be enough to renovate the house.
As her two sons grew up, Xu Xiulan had long wanted to build several large tile-roofed houses.
It's a pity that the man is incompetent, and the eldest son can only work stupidly in the fields, and Zhou Zixuan, the careless one, doesn't do much work at home, and clamors to go to school every day!
...Oh, it's just a waste of money. It's endless. The whole family can't save much money all year round.
The hundreds of dollars in Xu Xiulan's passbook were obtained by frugality and instigation from Feng Mingjie.
Just thinking about it makes me feel sad.
However, when Xu Xiulan saw He Tiantian being so considerate, she suddenly felt that the He family might have to rely on this daughter in the future, so it was better not to push too hard.
Forget it, let's take a look at the house.
When Tiantian is admitted to college next year, Jiabao will find a serious job and then find a way to raise money to build a house.
Moreover, Tiantian is so sensible. When she came back, she knew how to plan the future for her younger brother. If the family encounters difficulties, she will definitely not ignore it.
When Xu Xiulan thought about it, she temporarily stopped plotting against He Tiantian.
He Tiantian didn't know Xu Xiulan's inner journey, but she had met many kinds of ordinary people in her previous life, and she knew very well what kind of plans a top class person like Xu Xiulan would have.
Therefore, she will take the initiative to help her family, and she will also make Xu Xiulan look good in front of outsiders.
In the future, she will continue to praise Xu Xiulan until she is "praised" as a real "good mother"!
On the first night after returning to the He family, He Tiantian slept very soundly even though she was lying in a low and dilapidated thatched hut, with the smell of old quilts lingering in her nose.
The next morning, He Tiantian got up early.
Instead of wearing the woolen sweater and trousers she brought back from the Zhou family, she put on a red floral cotton jacket and trousers with a distinctive peasant style.
"Oh, my daughter has good foundation and looks good in anything she wears!"
When she came to the kitchen, she saw Xu Xiulan who was busy. Xu Xiulan looked up and saw He Tiantian's appearance, she immediately smiled and boasted hurriedly.
Xu Xiulan is not an embarrassment. He Tiantian is dressed in a rustic style, but she has fair skin, a pair of watery almond eyes, and two shiny black braids. She doesn't look like a firewood girl from the countryside.
On the contrary, it exuded an inexplicable foreignness.
Xu Xiulan was filled with a sense of accomplishment: You see, I gave birth to such a beautiful girl, and she is the daughter of the old He family.
"Mom, let me help you!" He Tiantian finished washing up briefly and then approached Xu Xiulan to show off.
"What will you do?" Xu Xiulan was happy in her heart, but she still had a mean face.
He Tiantian still smiled sweetly, "I don't know anything, but I can learn. Mom, you are so good. I am your biological child, so I shouldn't be too bad!"
These words made Xu Xiulan even more proud.
However, she still curled her lips in disgust and drove He Tiantian out again, "Okay, okay, don't make trouble here. Get your dad and your brothers up quickly, you have to go to the health center today.
Woolen cloth!"
"It's your first day of work, don't be late!"
"Mom, let me serve you food!"
He Tiantian did not leave, but diligently picked up the enamel basin filled with sweet potato porridge and carefully went to the main room.
"...This child is really sensible!" He is indeed my own child.
Xu Xiulan is really satisfied with He Tiantian.
After the family had breakfast, He Tiantian went to the health center at the east end of the village.
It was now January, which was the slack time for farming.
However, my own private land still needs to be tidied up.
He Dazhuang took the two brothers He Jiabao and He Jiayu to work on their own land.
Xu Xiulan was at home feeding chickens, collecting firewood, and doing housework.
"Oh, you are the daughter of the He family who hugged the wrong girl, right?"
Along the way, He Tiantian "encountered" several groups of aunties. They were in groups, either hiding in corners and whispering, or taking the initiative to say hello to He Tiantian.
Regardless of whether they know each other, He Tiantian always smiles and greets them very politely: "Hello, aunt! Hello, aunt! I am He Tiantian, and my father is He Dazhuang!"
"Oh my gosh, look at the kids who grew up in the city, they are just different from the girls in our village."
"No, look at this little face, it's as white as soft tofu."
"Tch, what's the use of being good-looking? Why don't you just come back and farm?"
"Who said that the daughter of the He family has come back to farm? She knows how to see doctors and give injections, and the captain specially arranged for her to go to the health center to be a barefoot doctor!"
Everyone was talking, some were out of pure curiosity, and some were jealous and malicious.
He Tiantian didn't seem to hear it. No matter who stopped him, he always pursed his lips and smiled.
After finally arriving at the health center, He Tiantian discovered that there were two rooms here, with a very simple style, as if they were buildings from the Republic of China.
During dinner last night, the family was chatting, and He Dazhuang once said: "The health center was originally a Taoist temple. In those years when feudal superstition was eradicated, the Taoist priests were allowed to return to secular life, and the Taoist temple was confiscated by the production brigade!"
Although it is a bit dilapidated, it is a rare brick house in Hejia Village.
He Tiantian took the key given to her by the captain, opened the door, pushed the door open, and found that there was almost nothing inside.
There is a medicine cabinet placed on the wall facing the door. The medicine cabinet is not big and there are not many medicines in it.
There is a desk placed on the wall next to the window. The paint has peeled off on the corners of the desk, one of its four legs is lame, and there is a stone underneath.
There is a washstand next to the desk, but the places for the washbasin and soap dish are empty.
It seems that he was taken away by Dr. Liu, the previous barefoot doctor.
He Tiantian put the army green canvas bag she carried diagonally on the table and slowly walked around the room to get a general idea of her working environment, secretly thinking about what she would add in the future.
Enamel wash basin, soap, coat rack... In addition, the medicine cabinet also needs to be replenished.
Western medicine is difficult to obtain, so we can concoct some Chinese herbal medicine.
By the way, there are also acupuncture needles.
He Tiantian silently wrote down this, but when she opened the drawer of her desk, she found that there was a pack of acupuncture needles inside.
Although it is the most common kind of steel needle, it is enough.
He Tiantian nodded with satisfaction, but before she could clean up the bathroom, there were chaotic footsteps and shouts outside: "Doctor Liu, help me, my wife is going to give birth..."
