Grandpa He stayed at the guest house and went to a nearby small restaurant for lunch as arranged by He Tiantian.
After coming back, I continued to sleep in bed.
He didn't know how long he had been sleeping, but when he heard the door panel ringing, Grandpa He sat up in an instant.
The visitor was none other than his unlucky granddaughter He Tiantian.
Before Grandpa He could ask, "Where have you been? Why did you come back so late?"
He Tiantian dropped a bombshell.
Grandpa He was immediately shocked, "What? You said you were selected into the provincial team and will become an athlete?"
"That's right! I entered the provincial archery team and will enter the sports school for group training in three days."
He Tiantian said proudly while carrying the traditional bow she bought on her back.
"You? Just you?"
When Grandpa He heard the news, his first reaction was not happiness, but doubt.
You can't blame him for thinking too much, it's really his granddaughter who was spoiled rotten by her own mother.
A rural girl doesn't even dare to do housework, let alone work in the fields.
She is a 17 or 18-year-old girl. She doesn’t know how to cook, and she has never washed clothes. She even needs help from her sister-in-law to wash her close-fitting clothes.
Oops, that lazy look is annoying to look at.
However, Liu Xiuzhi, that shrew, said proudly: "We Tiantian are still studying, and we will be very successful in the future!"
I studied and studied, but I couldn't even get into college.
It's even harder to say whether she has any future or not. If she really has a future, she won't force her family to help her rely on the Yan family.
Grandpa He and Grandma He often murmured behind their backs, but they didn't make the decision.
As long as Liu Xiuzhi is around in the He family, He Tiantian will be the charming lady that everyone supports.
She has been raised to such an extent that her limbs are inactive, her grains are not separated, and she is so fair and fair that she does not look like a country girl at all.
Now, He Tiantian actually said that she wants to be an athlete.
Ha, can she endure the hardships of an athlete?
Grandpa He doesn’t know much about the sports world, but the story of the women’s volleyball team has long been deeply rooted in people’s hearts.
It’s not easy for those girls. They have to practice overload and have to keep training despite being injured.
Their bodies were often covered with tape and were covered in bruises and bruises. Not to mention their family members, even the audience felt distressed when they saw them.
The hardship of training, the pain of injury, and the huge psychological pressure of poor performance. Can He Tiantian, a spoiled brat, bear these?
Not to mention that Grandpa He, who is prejudiced against He Tiantian, has such doubts. Even Liu Xiuzhi, who loves He Tiantian the most, is also a little hesitant——
"Tiantian, what, it must be good to be an athlete, but, but -" Can you bear the bitterness?
Also, athletes are prone to injuries and will suffer from illnesses after retirement. Thinking about the outstanding athletes in the news reports, Liu Xiuzhi feels heartbroken.
"Mom, I'm different from those athletes who play basketball or track and field. I just stand there and shoot arrows!"
He Tiantian saw it very clearly.
When he also questioned whether she could endure hardship, Grandpa He's tone showed distrust and even a bit of gloating, while Liu Xiuzhi was full of worry and distress.
"What's the difference? Don't they all require hard training?" Liu Xiuzhi continued to ask worriedly.
"Mom, of course it's different. I don't need to be overloaded with running and stretching all day long, and I don't need to have physical collisions with teammates or opponents..."
He Tiantian knew that her mother really cared about her, so she patiently explained to Liu Xiuzhi the difference between archery and other sports.
Speaking of which, archery is the sport with the lowest chance of injury among athletes.
Of course, as long as it is a competitive activity, there will be accidents and injuries.
But relatively speaking, archery does not seem that intense, and the risk factor is not that high.
This is also one of the reasons why He Tiantian chose to be an archery athlete. The character of the original owner cannot be ruined.
She is just a lazy, vain, charming lady who can't stand any hardship.
She was asked to run dozens of kilometers a day, train repeatedly for more than ten hours, be covered in stinky sweat, look hideous because she exceeded her physical limits, and was injured all over from bumps and bumps... She was not willing to die.
No matter how famous and popular such an athlete is, she will never do it.
Archery seems to be much better.
He Tiantian has long been integrated with the original owner, and she is very able to understand the original owner's thoughts and psychology.
She tried her best to reverse the fate of the original owner and his family while ensuring that the original owner's excellent character would not collapse.
In order to convince his mother, He Tiantian took out the bow and arrows she bought and performed in front of the whole family.
The He family's yard is not small, with half an acre of land.
In addition to a vegetable patch, there are several jujube trees in the yard.
He Tiantian asked her nephew to hang a broken bamboo basket on the tree. She stood on the porch, at least seventy or eighty meters away.
Draw the bow and draw the arrow, whoosh, whoosh!
Several arrows all hit the center of the slightly swaying bamboo basket.
And He Tiantian didn't expend any effort. She didn't pant or sweat. She stood there with the air of an aristocratic lady.
"Mom, look, archery is really different from those sports!"
He Tiantian smiled and said to her mother.
Liu Xiuzhi looked at her daughter, then at the arrows stuck on the broken basket, but she still had doubts in her heart: "This, this can also participate in the Olympics?"
Liu Xiuzhi is an ordinary rural woman. Her knowledge of sports is the women's volleyball girls or the national table tennis players.
She doesn't even know much about other sports such as swimming and figure skating.
"Of course! Otherwise, the provincial team wouldn't want me!"
He Tiantian brought the topic back to the topic, with pride written all over her fair face, "I went to the provincial team, and not only food and accommodation were included, but there was also a training allowance."
"Besides, when I win the prize, there will be a bonus."
"After I retire, I can also arrange a job or recommend going to college!"
And these are the things that the original owner and Liu Xiuzhi care about most.
"Really? So good? Then, won't it be very hard!"
Liu Xiuzhi is indeed a biological mother who loves her daughter, and she never fails to say "endure hardship".
She is not afraid of anything else, she is just afraid that the daughter she has pampered and grown up will not live well.
If she was getting married, even from a cadre family like the Yan family, Liu Xiuzhi would dare to cry and make trouble in order to support her daughter.
But, if my daughter enters a sports school and becomes a member of the country, if she is wronged, she, she will not be able to recruit.
"Mom, don't worry. The coach likes me and says I'm a genius."
He Tiantian clearly felt Liu Xiuzhi's motherly heart.
That's why she didn't want to follow the original script. She wanted to change the fate of herself and her family.
To outsiders, Liu Xiuzhi is indeed the best, a king-like existence.
But, to He Tiantian, she is the best mother.
She single-handedly resisted her husband's family's preference for sons over daughters and did not let her daughter become a victim of this bad habit.
She treats her daughter even better than her son.
Of course, her bottomless and unprincipled preference still misled the original owner.
But she still cannot deny her love for her daughter.
"...Yes, my daughter is already smart!"
After He Tiantian's repeated persuasion, Liu Xiuzhi finally realized that her daughter, an athlete, was different from what was reported in the news. She didn't need to suffer so much in order to gain benefits.
Liu Xiuzhi was happy, and her thoughts began to return to normal, that is, praising her daughter desperately!
This has been Liu Xiuzhi's habit for many years. No matter how people outside laugh at He Tiantian for being lazy, greedy and unwilling to work, Liu Xiuzhi always thinks that her daughter is beautiful and smart.
In Liu Xiuzhi's view, her daughter should dress beautifully and live a good life without doing anything.
Grandpa He and He Jianguo were hiding in the corner and were a little dumbfounded when they saw this scene.
Grandpa He is better than He Jianguo. He is the elder after all. Although Liu Xiuzhi does not take him as an elder seriously at all, she will not take action against her father-in-law like she did against her own man.
Grandpa He plucked up the courage, coughed slightly, and reminded him in a low voice: "Over there with the Yan family——"
The Yan family had a good marriage, but it was ruined by the willful He Tiantian.
Grandpa He felt that even if Liu Xiuzhi doted on his daughter, he couldn't distinguish between four and six. It was a shame that he didn't know.
As a result, Liu Xiuzhi used the facts to tell Grandpa He what it means to be a good mother to a partial daughter.
"Oh, Tiantian won't get married if she doesn't want to."
Liu Xiuzhi waved her hands indifferently. Of course she understood why Grandpa He would specifically remind him. She just felt that He Tiantian was being ridiculous.
For a "daughter slave" mother, Liu Xiuzhi would not blame her daughter with outsiders even if she knew that her child had done something wrong.
She also wanted to make excuses for her daughter's behavior, "Actually, even if Tiantian doesn't say it, I'm still a little unhappy in my heart!"
"The Yan family's family conditions are better. The Yan family's boy is a poor soldier. If he doesn't have a family, who is he?"
"Hmph, my daughter is so beautiful and smart, and she can still be an athlete. Anyone she marries will marry low, so why do I have to give the Yan family an advantage!"
"Also, we really don't think we can see it. Their family has never looked up to our He family!"
"A poor soldier who only relies on family connections has the nerve to dislike us Tiantian? Bah, what a big face!"
I have to say that Liu Xiuzhi is indeed He Tiantian's biological mother. Listening to what she said, it is almost the same as He Tiantian.
Grandpa He's eyes widened when he heard this. What, what? Two days ago, he told the neighbors and villagers that they were so excited that they almost blew Yan Xingzhou into the sky. Who is this person?
Who is this person who has been happily saying every day since the marriage was decided that his daughter is going to the city to enjoy her life and finally marry a good husband?
Liu Xiuzhi:...It's me, so what?
I just went back on my word, what can you do to me?
Anyway, I am a well-known shrew in Hejia Village. No matter what I say or do, people will laugh at me. I have been gossiping for twenty years, and I have long been used to it!
A big battle with her mother-in-law made Liu Xiuzhi understand everything.
As long as she feels that she is living a good life, the opinions of outsiders really don't matter.
It's shameless, haha, it can't be compared with the comfort of myself and my family.
Seeing Liu Xiuzhi's "I am just a shameless scoundrel" look, Grandpa He immediately obeyed and never dared to take the initiative to talk about the Yan family again.
As for the drama he had been looking forward to, the scene of a shrew punishing a naughty child, it was impossible to perform it in the He family.
"Alas!" Grandpa He sighed and returned to the old house with a low eyebrow.
The He family was happy.
This is also the normal state of the He family. As long as the head of the family, Liu Xiuzhi, is happy, He Jianguo will also giggle along with him.
The two sons responded actively, while the two daughters-in-law cooperated obediently.
...What a harmonious and harmonious big family.
Early the next morning, Liu Xiuzhi went out with a proud face.
When asked by a neighbor on the road, she would happily say: "Go to the village committee, oh, we are so promising. We have been spotted by the coach of the provincial team and selected to be athletes!"
"That's right, the kind of athletes who can participate in the Olympics and fly abroad to compete in competitions in the future!"
"Marry someone? Oh, we, Tiantian, are going to be Olympic champions and bring glory to our country, so why should we marry someone? Besides, that kid from the Yan family is not good enough for us, Tiantian!"
"How beautiful we are Tiantian, and now we are still athletes of the provincial team..."
"The conditions of the Yan family are good, but our Tiantian is not marrying into their family, and the man is not worthy. Isn't it too aggrieved for us Tiantian?"
"...Yes, let the village chief issue a certificate for us Tiantian and change our household registration. Haha, from now on, we, Tiantian, will be city dwellers!"
Liu Xiuzhi walked up and down, and when she saw people, no matter whether she was familiar with them or not, no matter whether they took the initiative to ask or not, she would tell them like a machine gun.
Before she arrived at the village committee at the head of the village, most of the people in the Hejia Village knew: the lazy, greedy, spoiled daughter of the Hejia family actually became an athlete on the provincial team.
The Asian Games is coming soon and will be held in Beijing. The whole people seems to be paying special attention to sports.
When it comes to athletes, everyone's first reaction is to admire them.
In rural areas, if a family can produce an athlete who brings glory to the country, it is an honor for the whole family and even the whole village.
After confirming again and again that Liu Xiuzhi was not bragging, and watching her help He Tiantian go through the relevant procedures with the certificate issued by the provincial sports school, the villagers in Hejia Village were all excited.
"Oh my God, that daughter of the He family really became an athlete?"
"Oh my gosh, I have long thought that the daughter of the He family is unusual. Look at her thin skin and tender flesh, just like the people in the city!"
"No wonder Liu Xiuzhi's tail is sticking up to the sky. It turns out that her daughter is promising!"
"Tsk, a few days ago the whole village was bragging about how powerful their future son-in-law was and how capable their future in-laws were..."
"No, with He Tiantian's lazy look, she, can she be an athlete?"
"Oh, I asked. She's not going to play ball, run, or lift weights. She's going to do archery!"
"Can you also be an athlete in archery? I, I even learned archery from my father."
"Hey, you run every day. Why didn't I see you were selected as a runner by the provincial team?"
The villagers in Hejia Village were talking a lot, some were praising, some were questioning, and some were just watching the fun.
No matter what the villagers think, they all know that the daughter of the He family is really going to be promising.
Regardless of whether she can win the championship in the future, she will have a very good future.
On the third day, under the watch of the whole village, He Tiantian and the entire He family left Hejia Village in a mighty manner...
