Chapter 6 The Tian Sisters
Chapter 6 The Tian Sisters
Lu Cheng registered the medical books he wanted to borrow and was about to go out to the Xinhua Bookstore across the street when he suddenly heard a voice: "Are you... Lu Cheng?"
Lu Cheng looked up and saw a girl wearing a red floral cotton jacket, carrying a military green backpack and with two pigtails looking at him with a smile.
This girl is none other than Tian Runye, the daughter of Tian Futang, the village party secretary of Shuangshui Village. She is also the childhood sweetheart of Sun Shaoan, the hammer king of the Northwest, and they love each other.
"It's Runye, are you also coming to the library to borrow books?"
"Yes, I didn't expect to meet you here today. By the way, let me introduce you. This is the girl from my second uncle's family, Xiaoxia. Xiaoxia, this is the doctor from our Shuangshui Village, Lu Cheng."
Tian Runye gave up her seat and introduced the girl behind her to Lu Cheng.
This girl also had two pigtails, and wore a military green jacket with a blue striped sweater underneath. Her white shirt collar was exposed, and she was dressed like a boy.
"Hello, my name is Tian Xiaoxia, and I'm also from Shuangshui Village. But, I'm already seventeen years old, and I've rarely been back to Shuangshui Village, so I don't know you. But, we've finally met today. Brother Lu Cheng, I've heard my sister mention your name."
Tian Xiaoxia's father, Tian Fujun, is the younger brother of the village party secretary Tian Futang.
But Tian Fujun was admitted to the National People's Congress that year, truly making the leap from a carp to a dragon, and is now a top leader in Yuanxi County.
Moreover, Tian Fujun is also a good official who is dedicated to serving the people. He is expected to be promoted all the way to a high position at the vice-provincial level in the future.
"Hello, I'm Lu Cheng."
Tian Runye glanced at the book in Lu Cheng's hand and said with a smile, "Are you done with this? It's almost noon now, why don't you come home with us for dinner? It's just right, I also want to ask you about the things in your village."
Tian Xiaoxia also said: "Yes, this is the first time I meet you, a fellow villager. You must come to our house and sit for a while."
"Don't bother with that. I have to go to Xinhua Bookstore to buy some books and some medicines later."
"There's no rush for this. You've finally made it to the county town, so you can go in the afternoon. Xiaoxia, go choose the books you want to borrow first. I'll talk to Lu Cheng."
Tian Xiaoxia agreed, looked back at Lu Cheng, and then walked into the library.
Tian Runye and Lu Cheng walked outside the bookstore and asked, "Lu Cheng, is everything okay in our village? Has anything happened recently?"
"Everything is fine, nothing serious happened."
"Have you seen my dad in the past two days?"
"I saw Uncle Fu and Aunt Liu yesterday. Everything is fine at home. You don't have to worry."
"Then... Is Brother Shaoan okay?"
Lu Cheng knew that Tian Runye stopped him because she wanted to ask about Sun Shaoan's situation.
"Shaoan is doing well too. He caught a cold a couple of days ago, but he's recovered now."
"Brother Shaoan has a cold? What's going on? Can you tell me about it?"
"It's not a big deal, it's just that before..."
Lu Cheng also knew what the other party was interested in, so he took the initiative to say a few words.
Tian Runye finally felt relieved after hearing everything: "So that's how it is. By the way, when you go back, can you bring something for Brother Shaoan?"
"no problem."
While the two were talking, Tian Xiaoxia also came out holding two books.
Tian Runye pushed the bicycle that was tied up beside her and said, "Lu Cheng, come with us first. I'll go back and get you some things that I asked you to bring with you."
"Well, you lead the way."
When Lu Cheng traveled to this world, he still used his original body, but the system allowed him to return to his peak state at the age of 22, and forged a real and verifiable identity for him in this world.
While implanting relevant memories into Lu Cheng, memories about Lu Cheng were also implanted into everyone around him.
For example, Tian Runye, who is the same age as Lu Cheng, has the memory of growing up together in the village.
Of course, these implanted memories do not affect other people's experiences and emotions.
For example, Tian Runye now still loves Sun Shaoan like in the original novel, and her heart is all on Sun Shaoan, but she has more memories about Lu Cheng.
Tian Runye is a quiet girl, while Tian Xiaoxia is much more lively and cheerful.
Although it was her first time meeting Lu Cheng, Tian Xiaoxia was not shy at all and took the initiative to talk to him: "Brother Lu Cheng, do you like reading too? What kind of books do you like to read?"
"I usually read some medical books. There are not many books at home. I have to work in the fields and treat the villagers. I don't have much time to read. I can only study more medical skills and improve my level. This will avoid mistakes when I treat the villagers in the future."
"It can be seen that Brother Lu Cheng must be a good doctor. My mother is also a doctor, working in our county hospital..."
As they were talking, Tian Runye stopped by the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative and said, "Wait for me, I'm going to buy something."
Lu Cheng nodded slightly: "That's great, I'll go in and take a look too."
Seeing this, Tian Xiaoxia followed in.
Lu Cheng glanced at each counter and quickly locked onto the counter selling stationery.
I walked over and bought two blue plastic notebooks, a Yongsheng brand fountain pen and a bottle of blue ink and put them in my shoulder bag.
When I came out after shopping, I saw Tian Runye carrying a few bags of snacks.
Seeing Lu Cheng looking at the dim sum, Tian Runye felt a little embarrassed: "Well, Shaoan's grandmother likes to eat dim sum, I'll trouble you to bring some back for me later."
It has to be said that Tian Runye is truly devoted to Sun Shaoan. She is especially kind to his family and doesn't mind that they are poor at all.
But Lu Cheng is not optimistic about the relationship between Tian Runye and Sun Shaoan. The obstacles are too great and it is not something that these two young people can overcome.
Sun Shaoan's family was very poor and he was a genuine farmer.
However, Tian Runye is a formal teacher in the county. Tian Futang will never let his daughter marry Sun Shaoan and become a farmer again.
Moreover, Tian Runye's second mother, Xu Aiyun, has already chosen a suitable partner for Tian Runye, that is, the son of another county leader, Li Xiangqian.
Although Tian Fujun is now the second-in-command of Yuanxi County, he has been ostracized because of his political differences with the number one, Feng Shikuan.
Xu Aiyun was preparing to match her eldest niece Tian Runye with Li Xiangqian to achieve the purpose of a political marriage, and let Li Xiangqian's father Li Dengyun support Tian Fujun to compete with Feng Shikuan.
If Sun Shaoan wants to be with Tian Runye, he has to overcome two huge obstacles, Tian Futang and Xu Aiyun. It is easy to imagine how difficult it will be.
Of course, Lu Cheng would not say anything, let alone interfere. He was just a small barefoot doctor with no power or influence, so why should he interfere in other people's lives?
