Chapter 204: Chapter 204: University Admission Quota_1

Third Grandma Qi truly was no ordinary person; she quickly recovered after hearing He Tiantian’s comforting words.

She had stayed strong for so many years, she wouldn’t be defeated by just a sentence—it wasn’t worth it!

Such people didn’t deserve it!

Apart from the heavens deciding her fate, nobody else could!

As long as she wasn’t dead, as long as the heavens allowed her to live, she would live well, live well until her last breath.

"I understand, you all don’t need to worry about me. I haven’t done anything dishonest in my life, that Old Lady Qi’s words can’t knock me down," Third Grandma Qi said slowly, her eyes gradually regaining their sparkle.

Seeing that Third Grandma Qi had somewhat recovered, everyone’s minds were slightly eased.

"Third Auntie, you’ve still got me and Dazhu! Just be at ease, we will take care of you and Uncle Two for the rest of your lives, ensuring that you both live out your days in splendor," Liang Hongyu said. Liang Hongyu’s in-laws had passed away early, and when she had given birth, it was Third Grandma Qi who had helped take care of the baby, no different from her own in-laws.

As the village secretary and also a close and younger relative, Qi Dazhu and his wife were responsible for these matters concerning the hereafter.

Hearing this, Third Grandma Qi was even happier.

He Tiantian also said, "Grandma, my parents have recognized you as my godmother, making you my grandma, our family of three will also take care of you, managing your affairs for the future."

Third Grandma Qi, touched and with tears in her eyes, stroked He Tiantian’s small hand and said, "Good, good, all good children, good children indeed!"

Old Man Qi couldn’t enter the room to comfort her, so he went to the livestock team, took some wheat germ and milk powder, and brought them to Third Grandma Qi to nourish her body.

Secretary Qi and Liang Hongyu stayed in the room talking with Third Grandma Qi, while He Tiantian and Qi Xiaoyan went to the kitchen to prepare the meal.

Seeing that there was milk powder, He Tiantian cracked two eggs, mixed them with the milk powder, and stirred them evenly with the eggs, adding a little oil on top. While the rice was being steamed, she placed the bowl containing the eggs inside to make steamed eggs.

There were radishes at home, so He Tiantian also fried some cured pork with radish.

Today, they made extra food and invited Old Man Qi, Village Chief Qi, Liang Hongyu, and Qi Xiaoyan to eat together.

At midday, with quite a few people at home and everyone chatting, Third Grandma Qi’s mood improved a bit, and a smile appeared on her face.

In the afternoon, Village Chief Qi and Liang Hongyu left, and Old Man Qi also felt it wasn’t right for him to stay on.

He Tiantian and Qi Xiaoyan stayed home to take care of Third Grandma Qi.

"Sister Tiantian, that Qi Jianguo and his family are too despicable," Qi Xiaoyan indignantly said, "I always felt Qi Jianguo was kind of disgusting, but I never expected him to do such a thing!"

"Heh, neither did I!" He Tiantian sneered, recalling how Qi Jianguo had always maintained a gentle and refined facade in front of her in her previous life.

Even after she eventually learned Qi Jianguo’s true nature, she never imagined he would harbor the thought of raping her.

"Fortunately, we were both there that day so we could look out for each other. If you had been alone..." Qi Xiaoyan said, relieved, thankful that she was there and that Sister Tiantian was unharmed.

Listening to Qi Xiaoyan’s words, He Tiantian didn’t have a single doubt.

He Tiantian felt guilty inside, and said awkwardly, "Xiao Yan, I owe you big this time. If it weren’t for you, I would have been in trouble."

"It’s okay, Sister Tiantian, I’m a good sister," Qi Xiaoyan said earnestly, "Even if I had known about it beforehand, I would have come over and I would never let Qi Jianguo succeed."

Qi Xiaoyan’s words moved He Tiantian deeply!

She is a sister for life!

He Tiantian had no regrets about using her own blood to save Qi Xiaoyan before, and she would have no regrets in the future!

"Yes, we are good sisters," He Tiantian smiled, "Let’s not talk about these upsetting things anymore. By the way, how is your application to the Art Troupe going?"

Qi Xiaoyan sighed and said, "Although I have tried very hard, I lack experience and don’t know what they will test me on, so I’m not very confident."

Seeing that Qi Xiaoyan lacked confidence, He Tiantian comforted her, "No matter what, as long as you love it and you have talent, you must persevere. One day, you’ll make your dreams come true."

Qi Xiaoyan already had material security, what she sought was something on a spiritual level.

Even if she couldn’t get into the Art Troupe, studying music would still elevate her spiritual level.

"You’re right, since I love it, then I’ll stick to it," Qi Xiaoyan said, "In half a month, I’m going to register and participate in the preliminary contest. If possible, it would be even better if you could be there with me."

"Sure, as long as I’m not busy, I’ll be there with you," He Tiantian said. This was an important moment for Qi Xiaoyan, and she wanted to be there for her.

He Tiantian suddenly thought of another problem, "Xiao Yan, if you get into the Art Troupe, you’ll have to join the army, then... then what about Niu Dajun?"

Qi Xiaoyan was startled, her face slightly shy, and said, "I’ve thought it through, I’m going to confess to Brother Dajun soon. If he likes me too, then I’ll..."

"Then you won’t go?" He Tiantian interrupted eagerly and with concern. Wouldn’t that mean all this effort was for nothing?

But going to the unit could mean not returning for several years, and Niu Dajun wasn’t Cowherd, nor was Qi Xiaoyan Weaving Maid – they couldn’t wait that long!

After all, Cowherd and Weaving Maid even had two children!

"Sister Tiantian, why are you in such a hurry? I haven’t finished speaking yet!" Qi Xiaoyan laughed, rarely seeing Sister Tiantian so flustered.

However, this fluster was for her, and Qi Xiaoyan was still very touched.

"Then go ahead," He Tiantian realized she might have been too anxious. Qi Xiaoyan probably had her own plans.

"In a few days, I’ll confess to Brother Dajun. If he accepts me, even if I get accepted, after serving for three years and demobilizing, I can still get a job in the county. If Brother Dajun doesn’t accept me, then I’ll go to the unit, since I won’t have any attachments," Qi Xiaoyan explained, "If I don’t get accepted, then I’ll just avoid Brother Dajun in the future to spare the awkwardness."

Qi Xiaoyan had thought through every scenario.

He Tiantian nodded and said, "It’s good you’ve thought it through, no matter what, I’m by your side. And no matter what, you still have your hobbies! Keep working hard!"

"Haha, Sister Tiantian, talking to you gives me strength," Qi Xiaoyan said, "Let me tell you a secret, our village has a college enrollment slot. Before, Qi Jianguo had a slot, but with what has happened, he probably won’t be going to college and might end up in prison instead."

"A college slot?" He Tiantian was shocked, in her past life Qi Jianguo hadn’t done anything criminal and there had been no recommendation for college either!

"Yes, the local schools have stopped holding classes, but the country still needs talent, which is why they created the Worker-Peasant-Soldier University. Our village didn’t have this before, but last year we gave up the back mountain to help other villages through hard times, so that’s why our village got it," Qi Xiaoyan explained.
