By the time the meningitis epidemic was over, it was already the end of June. Tian Cai sat in the dump truck of the tractor that was taking her home, with the scorching sun shining on her body.

It seemed like the weather suddenly became hot, even though she was still wearing long sleeves and long pants when she left the village.

After Tian Cai returned home, he was busy again, cleaning the yard, mopping the house, washing clothes, and then clearing the weeds growing in the vegetable garden. He didn't finish everything until it was completely dark.

Tian Cai took a stool and sat in the yard to rest. She was already tired these days, and after working all day today, she was so hungry that her hands and feet were weak and she didn't want to move at all.

Tian Cai was about to fall asleep when Mimi came into the yard. The little guy was in disbelief at first when he saw her, and then he jumped on her and started to be affectionate, whimpering non-stop, as if he had endless grievances. Tian Cai let it rub against her body, and even reached out to cooperate by stroking it.

"Okay, okay, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's your fault that you're not at home during the day." Tian Cai felt itchy on the back of his neck because of it rubbing against him. Seeing that more than ten minutes had passed and the little thing had no intention of stopping, he couldn't help but push its head to the side.

"Ah" Mimi's voice sounded even more aggrieved.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong. Next time if I can't find you before I go out, I'll just ask someone to tell you, okay?"

"Oh" That's better.

The man and the cat stayed together for a long time before Tian Cai had to get up and cook. She was really hungry. She had eaten the dried meat Qin Ling gave her long ago. She felt that she had to prepare some snacks at home so that she wouldn't be like now, too weak to even have the strength to cook.

Only then did she feel a little bit of loneliness living alone. If she lived with her family, when she came back from a busy month outside, Tian's mother would have already arranged everything in order and would serve delicious meals when she returned.

Oh, no wonder everyone wants to find a companion!

Tian Cai cooked mung bean porridge for dinner and also stir-fried a simple dish. It was hot at the moment, so eating mung beans was a way to cool down, and drinking porridge at night was easier to digest.

Mimi squatted on the stool like a human and watched Tian Cai eat, staring at her without blinking. After Tian Cai finished her meal and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, it quickly followed and snuggled up beside her.

After eating, Tian Cai regained much of his strength. He got up, boiled some water, and took a bath, and also washed his breasts.

This little guy is not afraid of water. Sometimes he will catch fish for her to eat. The water for bathing is warm. Tian Cai massages him while bathing him, and he enjoys it very much.

Tian Cai took out a bamboo mat and spread it directly in the yard. The little guy automatically lay on it. She lit two oil lamps and placed them on a stool, and washed the dirty clothes that had just been changed in the dim light.

Anyway, summer clothes are light and thin, and they will be dry tomorrow morning after washing.

It was almost ten o'clock when Tian Cai went to bed.

She spread her bedding on the edge of the kang, but the disadvantages of sleeping on the kang became apparent in the summer. As long as the pot was heated, the kang would become hot. It felt warm in the winter, but it was unbearably hot in the summer. Tian Cai felt that she should still have a bed, but the inner room had already been made into a kang and there was no place for a bed.

While stroking Mimi's fur, Tian Cai was thinking, and then she inexplicably came up with a new idea. She could build another small house in the open space in the backyard. Anyway, it would be for sleeping in the summer. It could be a bamboo house or a wooden house. It didn't need to be too big, not even as big as the wooden house she and Cai Ping lived in before.

It is best to build a bamboo house directly, at a certain height from the ground to prevent water from entering when it rains.

When the time comes, we can widen the eaves and build a corridor behind the house. We can go directly from the wooden house to the bamboo shed through the corridor, and then enter the front yard from the kitchen.

The more Tian Cai thought about it, the more excited he became. He was about to fall asleep, but instead he became more energetic and couldn't wait to go out and make it.

"No, no, go to bed first."

She couldn't help rolling back and forth on the kang until she leaned against Mimi, buried her face in her belly which smelled faintly of medicine, and slowly fell asleep.

After she fell asleep, Mimi moved her body, tilted her head, and continued to sleep.

The next day, Tian Cai was thinking about what she had thought about the night before, so she got up early in the morning and planned to spend two days preparing materials. It happened that the thatch on her roof needed to be replaced, so she decided to do it all at once.

Tian Cai found her oldest pair of gray trousers, which were the ones Cai Ping had made for her before. Later, they became increasingly worn out, so she started wearing them while working.

She put the pants on, but the legs were a little too short. Tian Cai clearly felt that she had grown a lot taller than the previous two years. It was summer, so she simply took out a pair of scissors and with a few clicks, she changed the nine-point pants into seven-point pants.

As soon as Tian Cai put on the altered pants, her fair and tender calves were exposed. When her calves were exposed to the wind, she felt a lot cooler.

Tian Cai found a loose short-sleeved shirt, pulled her half-long hair behind her head, revealing her fair and tender little face, and went to Carpenter Chen's house without even wearing a hat.

If she wanted to build the wooden house herself, she had to borrow tools first.

At this time, there was less work in the fields, and more people were chatting under the shade of trees in the village. When they saw Tian Cai, they all greeted him.

"Is Doctor Tian back?"

"You must be exhausted these days. Look at your skinny face. You must have lost several pounds!"

"That's right. My face used to be the size of a palm, but now it's become so thin. I need to eat something good to replenish it."

"How about Dr. Tian, ​​come to my house for lunch, and I'll make you something delicious."

…

Tian Cai greeted them one by one, declined the kindness of several aunts and sisters-in-law, and then continued to go to Carpenter Chen's house.

Sun Yanhong looked at Tian Cai's departing figure and tutted her tongue twice. "Speaking of Doctor Tian, ​​he's really good-looking. You see, we live in the same village, but his complexion is so white that it glows, while mine is so dark."

"They are not like us who have to work in the fields every day. If they prepare medicine in the house, we have to go up to them and serve them." Zhou Laosan's wife couldn't help but say sourly.

After hearing this, Sun Xuelian looked at her and said, "Who can we blame for this? It's because we don't have the ability. If we had that ability, we would have become doctors. It's because we don't have the skills."

Mrs. Zhou was choked by this and stopped talking in anger.

Sun Yanhong pretended not to notice the unpleasantness between the two and said with regret, "Such a capable girl, I wonder who will marry her in the future."

Recently, she heard some stories about Tian Caigan from Fangshan Brigade, and she felt more and more itchy. Such a powerful daughter-in-law would be a perfect match for her sister-in-law. Sun Yanhong was very sorry that the two of them could not be brought together. Moreover, her sister-in-law was looking for a partner for Sun Weixiang recently, and she was looking for some honest girls.

The reason for choosing a daughter-in-law with such a personality is that she is easy to control. Who knows how she will bully the girl!

The Zhou family's wife sneered, "What's the point of being capable? With that kind of temper, any mother-in-law with a bit of a temper can't stand it. When the time comes, there will be a big quarrel."

It would be fine if they just quarreled, but with what Tian Cai did in Fangshan Brigade, if she beat up her mother-in-law and husband over a disagreement, that would be a big deal. Who in their family is so sick that they would marry such an unlucky person? Chunchun is tired of her good life.
