Niu Lili’s performance just now really made them very alert. They knew that it was their first time to come to Taoyuan County, and it was impossible for people here to know Huo Yingjie.

Fortunately, it is not a hostile force!

"Hello Comrade Niu," said Huo Yingjie, "Thank you for your care of Tiantian."

Niu Lili quickly said, "No need to thank you, Tiantian also helped me a lot. We are good friends, there is no need to be polite. By the way, are you here to visit He Tiantian?"

This is not a secret, Huo Yingjie nodded and said, "Yes, we want to go there after dinner. The county town is very far from Qijia Village, right?"

"Yes, it's very far away." Niu Lili nodded, "It's probably forty or fifty miles, and it's mountainous, which is particularly difficult to walk. Just like this, you're carrying your luggage and walking over, which is too tired. Why not do this? I'll help you find a ox cart?"

"That's so thankful." Ho Yingjie said, Tianbao's friend is good.

"No need to thank you." Niu Lili said, "Your face is about to be ready, I will bring it to you now."

Niu Lili went to the kitchen. For He Tiantian's sake, Niu Lili asked the chef to add a few pieces of beef.

"You eat first, I'll find you a ox cart." Niu Lili said enthusiastically. Of course, she didn't go to find her in person, but to ask her colleague for help.

When Ho Yingjie had a good meal here, the ox cart was already waiting outside.

Niu Lili is also generous and has paid one dollar in advance for the fare.

"Please trouble you, Comrade Niu." Huo Yingjie thanked, and once again expressed his gratitude. Then the ox cart was on the table.

Watching the ox cart walk away, Niu Lili said with emotion: "No wonder He Tiantian loves Ho Yingjie wholeheartedly. Everyone likes such a good man!"

However, although this is good, she still likes a man like Qi Rongjun.

A good-looking person like Ho Yingjie must have many girls liked him. Next time I see his good sister He Tiantian, I must talk to her so that she can watch her tightly.

Huo Yingjie, who was sitting on the ox cart, passed by the supply and marketing cooperative and said, "I have food coupons, let's buy some rice and take it back."

There is a shortage of supplies, and everyone's food rations are fixed. When he arrives in Qijia Village, He Tiantian will not let them go hungry, so he can only borrow it in the village. What if there is no food in the village, wouldn't he still have to come to the county town to buy it?

It’s better to do things first after being so far away.

Zhang Aijun nodded, and the young soldier Li Yunzhong went to the supply and marketing cooperative with food coupons. After a while, he carried out 100 kilograms of rice and 50 kilograms of flour, which was probably enough for them to eat. As for vegetables, he had to buy them in the village.

The weather is very hot, and the ox cart does not move fast, but it is much faster than walking.

Li Yunzhong, a young soldier, likes to chat, and chats with the old man who is driving the bus along the way, and learn about all the big and small things in Taoyuan County.

"Qijia Village is so famous in Taoyuan County!" Li Yunzhong said in surprise, "Ah, there is a mountain god showing his spirit? Uncle, can't you talk nonsense? This is feudal superstition."

The old man who pulled the cart saw that Li Yunzhong didn't believe it and didn't care. He smiled and said, "I don't know if there is a mountain god, old man, but the back mountain of Qijia is dense, and all the villages backed by the mountains in Taoyuan County are not as good as those in Taoyuan County. It became like that overnight. Also, this year, Taoyuan County has a severe drought, and all the villages are gone. The spring pool in Qijia Village has not only a lot of water, but also more than before. Are you thinking that this is evil? Also, last winter, there were no powerful animals in the back mountain of Qijia Village, only small things like pheasants and hares, and the largest one is wild boar. Look, is evil?"

Li Yunzhong was half-believing and half-doubted, saying, "If you say it is true, then this Qijia Village is quite evil."

"That's right!" the old man agreed, "You young people don't believe this, but you can't talk nonsense when you go to Qijia Village. If you anger the mountain god, you can't afford to leave."

"I understand." Li Yunzhong said, remembering another one in his heart.

When we arrived, the weather was cooler and the ox cart was quicker. Finally, we arrived in Qijia Village at 8 o'clock in the evening.

Ho Yingjie paid the money and asked, "Uncle, how much does it cost?"

"No need to pay, that girl Lili has given her." The old man said, Niu Lili often introduced him to work, so when he heard that Niu Lili wanted to give him away, he didn't take a nap at noon, he came to give him away.

"Ah?" Huo Yingjie was stunned, "This... This... Uncle, then tell me how much money, I will give it to Comrade Niu next time."

"Oh, that's right. Usually, it takes one yuan and two yuan from the commune to Qijia Village. Lili is familiar with me and charges her one dollar." The old man also helped Niu Lili with a favor.

"Thank you," Ho Yingjie thanked, "It's dark, is there a place to stay?"

"Yes, my niece is in Hujia Village not far away. I'll go to her place to rest." The old man said. They usually drive the bus, but at night, they can only live in relatives' houses or acquaintances.

He has been in this business for many years and has a place to settle in most villages.

"Since you have a place to stay, we won't try to keep you." Ho Yingjie said, taking out a pack of half a pound of milk candy from his bag, "This is milk candy, and take it back to give the child a sweet mouth."

"How can you be so embarrassed?" Mr. Zhao quickly refused. That was a rare thing, and it was expensive!

Ho Yingjie smiled and said, "You can't take it, just take it."

Ho Yingjie put it in the car and walked away with the box.

When Uncle Zhao saw that someone had left, it was difficult to catch up with him, so he accepted the bag of candy.

Ho Yingjie didn't know that it was him who was unintentionally kind and generous, who helped He Tiantian a lot and even saved He Tiantian's life.

I didn't ask just now who these people were here to look for. When I returned to the county town and asked Niu Lili, I met him later and he charged less money for the car. He was the duty person and did not take advantage of this.

When Huo Yingjie entered the village, the box was already dark and he couldn't find which house He Tiantian lived in.

Li Yunzhong's self-familiar temperament played a role at this time and knocked directly at the door of the family at the entrance of the village. This family was Aunt Liu's family. When she heard that she was looking for He Tiantian, she looked up and down at Li Yunzhong and asked, "Who are you? What are you going to do to find a girl's house in the middle of the night?"

Because of Qi Jianguo's last incident, Aunt Liu was very alert.

Li Yunzhong smiled and said, "We are her family, come and visit her."

"You?" Aunt Zhao looked behind Li Yunzhong again and found that there were two more people.

There were three strange men outside. It was dark now. Aunt Liu didn't dare to lead the way. She turned around and called the man in the room, saying, "The child's father, three gay men outside, said they were He Tiantian's family, come to find her. Let's take them there."

Aunt Liu's man had just finished taking a shower and heard his wife's words, he quickly put on his clothes.

Aunt Liu told Da Niu to take good care of her younger brother and sister at home and to take these three people with her husband. If these three people are bad people, she could shout a few times outside.

It was past eight o'clock, and Grandma Qi San had eaten. The house was hot and she was in the yard.

He heard someone knocking on the door, He Tiantian was wearing her pajamas and asked, "Who?"

When Ho Yingjie heard He Tiantian's voice, his heart felt warm and he could finally see Tianbao.

"Sweet girl, it's me, your Aunt Liu. Three people came outside and said that your relatives are coming to visit you." Aunt Liu explained, "Do you know each other?"

"Three relatives?" He Tiantian was stunned. How could she have three relatives in her family? "What's the name?"

"Tianbao, it's me!" Huo Yingjie couldn't wait and answered directly through the door.

He Tiantian was stunned for a moment, thinking that she had hallucinations, so she quickly shook her head, thinking that it was impossible for it to be Huo Yingjie.

"Tiannio, do you recognize him?" Aunt Liu asked hurriedly when he heard He Tiantian not speaking, especially when Huo Yingjie excitedly shouted sweet and greasy words like "Tianbao", which made Liu extremely alert.

"I'll come to see you, Tianbao." Huo Yingjie said anxiously regardless of the others.

He Tiantian heard Ho Yingjie's voice again and knew that this was not a dream, so she opened the door quickly. Today, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and even if she didn't light the light, she could see clearly a person's appearance.

"It's really you?" He Tiantian said excitedly, her brother Yingjie came to see her.

Aunt Liu felt relieved when she saw He Tiantian know these people.

Grandma Qi San came over with a crutch and said, "Since you are a relative, come in quickly and don't stand outside. Big girl, don't leave first, help Tiantian clean up the guest room."

"Hey!" Aunt Liu responded. Three people came to the house and they really wanted to clean up the place.

With outsiders here, He Tiantian couldn't do anything intimately and followed Aunt Liu to clean up the room.

"Yingjie, why didn't you tell grandma before you come? Grandma can also find someone to pick you up in the county town." Grandma Qi San smiled. During the Chinese New Year, Huo Yingjie often took her and Old Man Qi out for a walk, knowing that this was a good child.

"Grandma, I am a big man, I can come over and don't bother you to find someone to pick me up." Ho Yingjie said, "This is my colleague."

"Okay, okay, there is a place to live at home, don't worry." Grandma Qi San said, "You sit down first, I'll cook for you."

He Tiantian went to clean the room with Aunt Liu, and Grandma Qi San and a little-footed wife cooked in the dark. Huo Yingjie felt sorry for her and wanted to help.

Li Yunzhong trotted over and said, "Grandma, I'll help you!"

Along the way, Zhang Aijun was the one who was really responsible for the protection work, and Li Yunzhong was mostly doing logistics.

"Okay." Grandma Qi San did not refuse, and added water. The vegetable basket at home had vegetables. She poured some oil, made vegetable dumpling soup, and beat three eggs into it.

Although there is only one room, there are two large beds inside, which is enough to stay.

Aunt Liu was cleaning the room and asked with a smile: "Sweet girl, three people are here, which one is your partner?"

He Tiantian nodded and said, "The tallest one!"

"Oh, that young man looks so handsome!" Aunt Liu laughed, "Where are the other two?"

He Tiantian shook her head and said, "I don't know either, I haven't seen it before."

"Oh, not bad. When you see that the child is a person with great ability, Tianmei is just a life of happiness." Aunt Liu smiled. Since He Tiantian worked with her, her family life has been much better than before.

He Tiantian smiled embarrassedly and lowered her head shyly.

There, Grandma Qi San and Li Yunzhong prepared the meal, and the three of them ate their food and barely had their stomachs full.

He Tiantian and Aunt Liu also cleaned up the room! Thanks to the drought before, the house was very dry and there were no insects or other things. However, it was summer here, with mosquitoes and no mosquito nets at home, He Tiantian made some mugwort to smoke the house.

He Tiantian was going to burn hot water, but Huo Yingjie stopped him and said, "Tianbao, you don't have to be busy anymore. We use cold water in summer, not hot water!"

Alas, Ho Yingjie said this, it is true.

He Tiantian is so close. In winter, Ho Yingjie can't sleep at night and has to take a cold shower, let alone summer now.

"Okay." He Tiantian responded, "There is a bathroom over there, and water in the big jar!"

After the sun shines, the water inside is warm.

"Yingjie, you should treat those two little brothers as your own family, don't be polite." Grandma Qi San smiled, "Tiantian, it's getting late, hurry back to the house to rest, and you will say something tomorrow."
