When He Xiangdong woke up, he saw a graceful shadow busy at his house. He was very weak and dizzy. He wanted to move, but he found that he had a needle hanging.

"You're awake." Tian Jiani walked to He Xiangdong's bed, stretched out her little hand and touched He Xiangdong's forehead, and said, "Fortunately, the temperature has dropped. You're scared me to death. Why are you so sick?"

He Xiangdong's voice was hoarse, and he said weakly: "Ni'er, why are you here?"

Tian Jiani frowned and complained, "Why did I come? If I don't come, no one will know that you died of illness here. Why are you so unlucky to take care of yourself as such an adult?"

He Xiangdong wanted to laugh, but just grinned with difficulty.

Tian Jiani continued, "Don't move around, you're still having an injection. Just now the doctor in the village clinic showed you, and the injection was also given. Now your fever has subsided. I'll take something later before taking the medicine."

He Xiangdong blinked and agreed to nod.

Tian Jiani looked at his room and frowned again. She asked seriously: "Dongzi, tell me, how did you live these days? I originally wanted to make some porridge for you, but I found that there was no grain of rice. The food you eat at home was just two tubes of noodles and a bag of coarse salt."

After hearing this, He Xiangdong's already pale face became even more unnatural. He explained weakly: "I protect my throat and cannot eat too irritating and too meaty things. It is best to eat noodles. You can't even have spicy soy sauce."

Looking at He Xiangdong's obviously thin face, Tian Jiani's tears were about to come out, and she cried: "You are lying to me. I've only been out for more than 20 days. Why have you lived like this?"

He Xiangdong sighed, his blood-colored lips showed a smile, and said, "Ni'er, don't cry. The ancients said that God will give a great responsibility to this person. He must first work hard and his heart and mind. I am all the darkness before dawn. I'm fine. Really, I'm very happy."

Tian Jiani wiped the tears that were about to come out of the corner of her eyes and asked, "Did you spend all your money in your crosstalk club?"

He Xiangdong smiled weakly and embarrassedly, and agreed.

Tian Jiani suddenly slapped He Xiangdong with her hand and said, "Everyone said your master is stubborn, I think you are even stubborn than your master."

He Xiangdong just smiled, not knowing how to answer.

Tian Jiani complained to him a few words and went out to buy food for him. The ones they bought were not just yi bits, rice, kerosene noodles, and various daily necessities. He Xiangdong didn't dare to be polite to her. He knew that as long as he dared to open his mouth, he would definitely be scolded.

Tian Jiani started the coal cake stove and cooked some beef porridge for He Xiangdong. After a long time, the beef was spoiled, she brought it to He Xiangdong for food. He Xiangdong drank three bowls of it, and then he fell asleep after taking the medicine.

Tian Jiani took care of He Xiangdong for three days before his illness recovered. Zhang Wenhai and Fan Wenquan also visited him in the past two days. They all knew that He Xiangdong had invested all his money for the crosstalk club, and he almost couldn't even afford to eat.

The two elders were both moved and relieved. They did not show that they already knew this fact in front of He Xiangdong. Instead, they relieved He Xiangdong that they would stare at the crosstalk club.

In fact, He Xiangdong is not worried about anything. There are only three or five audiences every day, and it is enough for two old gentlemen to stare at him.

After raising him for a few days, He Xiangdong finally recovered almost. Except for his throat that had not fully recovered, everything else had been cured. Tian Jiani has been taking care of him these days, and today she is here, she said: "Is the disease cured?"

He Xiangdong was a little embarrassed and moved, and his emotions were very complicated. He said, "It's almost done, it's not uncomfortable anymore. In a few days, it should be completely fine."

Tian Jiani came over with a black bag. She sent the black bag to He Xiangdong, and only a sound came out of her mouth: "No."

He Xiangdong took it over with some clues and opened it to see that there were two large bundles of money, all of which were 100 denominations and gray pieces. The portraits of the four great men were printed on the hundred-dollar bill.

"Are you?" He Xiangdong quickly closed his purse and looked at Tian Jiani in shock.

Tian Jiani glanced at him and said angrily: "You are short of money in your career, and I don't have much, so you can use these first."

He Xiangdong quickly said, "Oh, this is not possible. How can I use your money?"

Tian Jiani said the opposite: "Why can't it be used?"

He Xiangdong licked his lips, his eloquence was as good as his. Now he didn't know what to say: "No, this is really not possible. How can I use your money? It's not easy for you to make money. I am really not able to do this. Can you take it back?"

He Xiangdong handed over the bag again.

Tian Jiani pushed the bag and said, "What do you think? I didn't give it to you for free. This is just a loan to you. You want to pay it back. Why do you want to get it in vain?"

He Xiangdong said: "I don't mean that, it's just that I am a big man with hands and feet. It's not appropriate to use your girl's money. We are short of money now, but I will find a way."

Tian Jiani frowned and said unhappily: "What are you thinking? Why are you polite to me? We are all friends who have grown up together. When we were young, we didn't see you so politely. Why are you becoming more and more pretentious as you grow older? Besides, your crosstalk club is called Xiangjiashe, and I have a word in it. Why do I invest some money? You can think it's okay for me to lend you, and you can count it as a stock."

"But" He Xiangdong was still a little hesitant.

Tian Jiani was angry: "But what? The big man is silly and he is talking nonsense and just asking for scolding, shut up."

He Xiangdong was shocked by such a domineering Tian Jiani, and his words were choked back when he came to his mouth. He could only sigh silently. People really have to be down and out, otherwise you don’t know who is the person who will treat you directly.

With the support of Tian Jiani's 20,000 yuan, the crosstalk club continued to open business, and it was still in a dismal operation. The daily tickets were only enough to pay for the water and electricity bills and the money for meals.

It is the end of yiyi month, and the temperature in Beijing is dropping very quickly. Now I can’t stand it if I don’t add two more clothes.

On this day, guests came to the garden. When He Xiangdong first arrived, he saw a man wearing a fancy dress and walking out the door while talking.

"Oh, uncle, I've delivered this invitation to you. On the day I will pick you up."

Fan Wenquan said: "Don't worry about me, I'll just go by myself then. I don't have that big show."

"Okay, then I'm so upset. Uncle, please stay and I'll just go by myself. OK, okay."

"Xue Guo?" He Xiangdong shouted in surprise.
