"You have a bad heart, so don't do these physical jobs anymore. The cafeteria provides three meals a day, so you don't have to grow vegetables."

Qi Yan took the hoe from Ji Sisi's hand. Under the moonlight, Ji Sisi's face looked pale.

Qi Yan always remembered that Ji Sisi had a bad heart and was afraid that she would hurt her body by overworking herself. Doctors were scarce here and he didn't want her to have an accident.

He has to go to Sister Hongying's house early tomorrow.

Ji Sisi's expression was slightly stunned, and then she remembered that the original owner seemed to have a heart disease.

But for some reason, if she walked two steps faster in Jianghai, she would be out of breath and her heart would ache slightly. After coming here, she weeded for a long time and didn't feel any pain in her heart.

"Don't worry, I know my body well." Ji Sisi smiled, "Go back and rest. You must be tired after a busy day."

Ji Sisi was about to go back to the house when she stepped on a piece of mud and stumbled forward. Qi Yan dropped the hoe, grabbed Ji Sisi's hand and pulled her back, holding her in his arms.

"Did you fall? Are you scared?" Qi Yan looked nervous, holding her waist tightly with his hands, not noticing how ambiguous their current posture was.

The handsome face was magnified, and the beautiful eyes were full of concern for her. Ji Sisi pressed against the man's strong chest, with his strong hands supporting his waist. Ji Sisi could feel his body temperature and heartbeat through the cloth. Qi Yan seemed to be doing well...

A strange thought flashed through Ji Sisi's mind, and her brain suddenly buzzed. The blood rushed to her face and her heart beat rapidly.

Her heart gradually began to hurt, and Ji Sisi blushed as she spoke, "I'm fine, let me go first, I'm a little out of breath."

Out of concern, Qi Yan immediately let go of her hand and put his big hand on Ji Sisi's back to help her calm down.

"I'm sorry, did I hurt you?"

Qi Yan realized belatedly how ambiguous the posture just now was, and his ears turned red.

Ji Sisi tried her best to calm down her emotions and calm her heart, but when Qi Yan said this, she was back to the time before liberation. Her heart beat faster and the pain became more and more obvious.

Damn it, my heart rate didn’t go up when I did physical work, but when I thought about something an adult should think about, my heart rate went off the charts.

Ji Sisi wanted to cry but had no tears, thinking, would she die in front of Qi Yan?

She was wrong, and she would never have such nonsense thoughts again!

"You go in first. I'll rest for a while." In order to save her life, Ji Sisi asked Qi Yan to leave.

Qi Yan wanted to stay with her, "I'll accompany you. I'm worried about you being alone outside."

"I feel uncomfortable when you are around. Please come in. I just need to calm down."

Qi Yan lowered his eyes, looking hurt, with a trace of regret in his eyes. Was it because his actions just now were too intimate and scared her?

Qi Yan looked back every three steps.

Ji Sisi took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and rested for more than ten minutes before her heart recovered.

The sound of the system rang out in the silent night.

[Considering the host's physical condition, the achievement requirements can be lowered. The host's personal assets can reach 907 to unlock the Marrow Cleansing Pill. The current deposit is yuan. Please work hard. ]

Ji Sisi: After taking the marrow cleansing pills, will my body become like that of a normal person?

System: [Yes, and you will be five times healthier than an average person, and your five senses will be twice as strong as an average person! ]

Ji Sisi's eyes lit up, this is a good stuff!

But earning ninety-three dollars is not an easy thing. If it were in later times, her hourly wage would be more than ninety-three. But this was an era when normal people only earned one or two hundred dollars a year.

Ji Sisi was determined to dig Cordyceps.

When she returned to the room, the lights in Qi Yan's room were off.

-

The next day, just after dawn, the sun slowly rose. Ji Sisi opened the window and the air was filled with the smell of earth.

Qi Yan had already gone to the research institute, and his lunch box was warming on the stove.

After breakfast, Ji Sisi packed up and went to Li Hongying’s house next door.

The iron gate of Li Hongying's house was open. "Sister-in-law, I heard Qi Yan say that you would go to the foot of the snow-capped mountains to collect firewood. Are you going today? If you go, we can travel together."

Li Hongying was feeding her child. After she finished feeding the last mouthful of egg custard, she responded to Ji Sisi.

"Yes, come in and wait for me for a while. I'll pack and we'll go."

When Li Hongying saw Ji Sisi coming, she quickened her movements.

Before dawn, Qi Yan knocked on Li Hongying's door and asked Li Hongying to take good care of Ji Sisi. He told her that Ji Sisi had a bad heart and asked her to take good care of her.

Li Hongying was washing dishes with an auntie smile on her face. She didn't expect that Director Qi, who looked so cold, actually had such a caring side.

Thinking of the two industrial tickets he left behind, Li Hongying wiped her hands, kept one, and prepared to return the other one to Ji Sisi later.

This thing is in great demand, and a unit may not issue it once a year. As a neighbor, it is not a big deal for her to take care of it a little more. Politely, Qi Yan gave her two.

Walking on the road, Li Hongying deliberately slowed down her pace and asked, "Why did you want to go to the mountain? Doesn't your hospital provide three meals a day?"

"I want to go to the mountains to see if there are any suitable herbs."

Herbs? Li Hongying felt sorry for Ji Sisi again. She was so pretty and could play the piano, but she was in poor health. Others went up the mountain to collect firewood or pick wild vegetables, but she went to look for herbs.

"It's right here. Usually, many people gather firewood here. People from our courtyard, your courtyard, and the members of Huaihua Commune and educated youth also gather firewood here."

Ji Sisi looked around and saw that they were at the edge of the grassland. Everywhere they looked was grassland, and only here was there a small area of ​​woods.

Wang Cuicui bent down and stood up, her eyes were attracted by Ji Sisi, and she exclaimed.

"Director Qi really doesn't cherish what he has. He hasn't even married his wife yet, but he's already asked people to collect firewood."

Ji Sisi looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman with a round face and big double eyelids looking straight at her. Her voice was loud and her cheeks were red.

Li Hongying introduced, "This is Wang Cuicui, the lover of Jiang Qianjin, a member of Director Qi's team."

"Wang Cuicui, don't talk nonsense. It's not like Director Qi asked Sisi to come here."

Ji Sisi remembered that the person who made the loudest noise last night was Huang Cuicui, "Sister-in-law Cuicui, you misunderstood. I just wanted to come and see it on my own. It has nothing to do with Qi Yan."

Wang Cuicui said "oh" but her expression showed she didn't believe it at all.

What's so interesting about picking firewood? City people just love to be stubborn and not honest at all.

Li Hongying wanted to go up and argue with Huang Cuicui, but Ji Sisi quickly stopped her and said, "It's okay. It's her business whether she believes it or not. We just need to do our own thing."

Ji Sisi didn't want Li Hongying to have a quarrel with others because of her, especially those in the family compound.

She didn't live there in the first place, so it was inevitable that she didn't fit in. All she could do was not to cause trouble, reduce her presence and become a transparent person.

The words were meant to comfort people, but they changed their meaning when they fell into Wang Cuicui's ears.
