Chapter 144: Chapter 144 Matrimonial Matters, Role Model_1

Upon reaching the secluded cave in the back mountain, the Snake King couldn’t wait to jump into the water.

Oh, how joyful he was!

Just like a playful child!

Right!

The temperament of the Snake King was like that of a child, could it be that everyone in the Demon Realm is like this?

If he’s like a child, then from now on, let’s treat the Snake King as we would a child and see what happens!

He Tiantian thought to herself and, also convinced by the Snake King’s words, she continued to clean the rabbits without any psychological burden.

As dawn began to break, He Tiantian quickly went to call the Snake King, only to find him snoring away on a rock.

He Tiantian tidied up everything, putting all the dirty things into a basin, then picked it up and rinsed everything off with water, successfully flushing the mess away.

As for the Snake King, he was tucked into the pocket of her clothes and she stealthily made her way down the mountain.

To avoid being discovered, He Tiantian was extremely careful.

That day, the Snake King did not return to her foot. Worrying that the Snake King might get cold, He Tiantian placed him in her quilt.

He was her benefactor after all and needed to be treated with care and caution.

He Tiantian dozed for a while, then heard Third Grandma Qi getting up, so she got up too.

After getting dressed, He Tiantian lifted the cover off another small quilt next to her. Although the Snake King’s size hadn’t changed, his skin had shed a layer and turned a shiny silver-white.

The Snake King was still asleep, so she continued to leave him in the quilt. However, from the Snake King’s appearance, He Tiantian could tell that he must have made progress in his cultivation.

She made breakfast with Third Grandma Qi. Sister Wu, Ye Xiaofan, Wang Lei, and Zhang Qingshan came to say goodbye. All four of them had train tickets for tomorrow afternoon and evening, so they were taking the village ox cart to the county town early tomorrow morning.

Village Chief Qi was going to the county town as well, and he would drop them at the train station.

After seeing off the four of them, He Tiantian went to look for Secretary Qi.

During this period, He Tiantian had gathered quite a lot of pine nuts. She had also smoked some wild rabbits, so she had more to send to her parents and Huo Yingjie.

Village Chief Qi was not at home today; he had taken villagers to the back mountain to carry a wild boar, leaving only Liang Hongyu and Qi Xiaoyan at home.

"Xiao Yan, why didn’t you go to the livestock team?" He Tiantian asked in surprise, usually at this time Qi Xiaoyan would have gone to study with Professor Wang.

"With so many people going to the livestock team today, with all eyes everywhere, it would be trouble for Professor Wang," said Qi Xiaoyan. "I can review at home, no need to go to the livestock team. You love going to the back mountain the most, why didn’t you go?"

"Grandma Qi said I’ve just recovered, and she doesn’t want me to go up the mountain and catch a cold," said He Tiantian, observing that Qi Xiaoyan looked rosy and healthy, with a stable breath. "How have you been lately? Looking at your complexion, you’re much better than before."

Qi Xiaoyan touched her chest, smiling excitedly, "Yeah, I also feel very comfortable. Before, when I sang, the high notes were very strenuous and I couldn’t reach them. I felt uncomfortable even walking a little fast, and I used to have a lot of dreams and night sweats at night. Now all these symptoms are gone."

He Tiantian was happy in her heart, just like Snake King had said, her blood was a kind of spiritual medicine.

"That’s good then. How about this, I was thinking since Village Chief Qi is going to take Sister Wu and the others to the train station tomorrow, and the village has caught several pigs and rabbits, which will probably be taken to the county town to sell, I want to send some of the pine nuts I picked before to my family to try," He Tiantian said. "You should come to the county town too, get a checkup at the hospital and see what the doctor says, and find out what you need to pay attention to in the future!"

Liang Hongyu’s eyes lit up when she heard this, having always been concerned about her daughter’s health. Now that her daughter was feeling a bit better, she also wanted to take her to the hospital for a checkup.

"Xiao Yan, follow them tomorrow. Your dad will probably be busy handling these game animals and won’t have time to take you. With Girl Tian there, I can rest easy," said Liang Hongyu. "Go ahead, don’t worry about money, your second brother has sent money back."

Qi Xiaoyan nodded, grinning, "Mom, let’s not touch second brother’s money; we should save it for his future wife. I’ve worked this year, earned work points, will get my share of grain and money, and don’t need to spend second brother’s money. Look, he’s already twenty-four, if he doesn’t find someone soon, it will be even harder to get married later."

"Ah, your second brother is just like a block of wood. He has holidays this year, at the end of the year. I’ve already checked out several families; when the time comes, he can meet them, and if it’s possible, we’ll arrange the marriage," Liang Hongyu said. "To expect your second brother to find someone on his own is harder than reaching the heavens!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Xiaoyan asked with concern, "Mom, who have you considered for matchmaking? Do you know them well? You can’t just listen to the matchmaker; you need to investigate. My second brother is so good; if he ends up with an unsuitable wife, she might just hold him back."

He Tiantian thought about Qi Rongjun from her past life, who indeed married a less than ideal wife. She wasn’t clear about the state of their relationship, but every time she returned to Qijia Village, that woman would be looking down her nose at everyone, as if she would rather look at people with her chin than her eyes.

Liang Hongyu didn’t avoid He Tiantian. Considering her not an outsider, but after all, this was their family affair, so He Tiantian did not interrupt, just listened on the side.

Seeing that He Tiantian did not show any shy or embarrassed expressions, Liang Hongyu sighed internally, thinking that He Tiantian was not interested in her son. However, considering their age difference, it wouldn’t be appropriate anyway.

"You don’t trust me in dealing with things? Your aunties have been helping with introductions, how could it be bad!" replied Liang Hongyu. "Don’t worry about adult matters, just take care of yourself. When you’re outside, be dignified and humble. Don’t be like some girls who get stuck whenever they see a man."

Qi Xiaoyan covered her mouth and giggled, shaking her mother’s arm, "Mom, I understand. Don’t say things like that anymore. Sister Tiantian is still here!"

"Aunt Liang is right. When I was about to board the educated youth train, my mother said the same to me. Girls must be careful with their words and behavior, especially when it comes to relationships with men, one must be cautious," He Tiantian said. "Listen to Aunt Liang’s advice. Men fear choosing the wrong profession, women fear marrying the wrong man, and it’s not just something to say."

Liang Hongyu was even more pleased after hearing He Tiantian’s words and said repeatedly, "Girl Tian really sees things clearly. Remember these words. We only have you as our daughter, and if you have any concerns, you can talk to us. We just hope for you to have a good future."

He Tiantian looked at Qi Xiaoyan with a smile that was not quite a smile. Qi Xiaoyan, catching He Tiantian’s gaze, felt embarrassed and her face flushed as she said, "Mom, let’s not talk about this now. I have something to discuss with Sister Tiantian. You go ahead and do your own thing."

Qi Xiaoyan then pulled He Tiantian into the house, preventing Liang Hongyu from following.

Liang Hongyu was happy to have a friend like He Tiantian for her daughter. Sometimes children are more receptive to the advice of friends around them. A good girl like He Tiantian could be a pure role model for her daughter.
