Every time she arrived at a place, Mrs. He would be hit by stones. Some children even made poop and threw it at her. Some people also threw manure at her. However, such cases were rare because manure was a rare fertilizer in the fields and few people were willing to waste it on her.

"It's probably for the autumn harvest. They asked her to come back to help with the work. It's impossible to keep her in the commune for nothing." Tian Cai guessed. But in the future, if there was any disturbance, Mrs. He would probably be the first one to be dragged out and criticized.

When the two talked about Old Mrs. He, they had to mention another person involved, Zheng Wang. Some time ago, this man had his penis cut off while walking at night, and the murderer has not been found yet.

Ask Zheng Wang himself. He didn't see it clearly at the time, and his first reaction was that Tian Cai did it. But when he was sent to Tian Cai's place, he found out that there was a critically ill patient there, and several people had been taking care of him for most of the night and had not gone out at all.

Zhang Defa asked the militia to investigate this matter for several days but still could not find any clues, so the matter was left unresolved.

Tian Cai was also quite puzzled. Although she had thought about it before, she never had the opportunity to put it into action. She wondered which angel brother was doing good deeds without leaving a name.

After Qiu Xiaohuan learned the news, she sent a bunch of things to Tian Cai. Tian Cai repeatedly explained that she really didn't do it, but the girl was stubborn and believed that Tian Cai was unable to admit it because the investigation was strict recently, which made her helpless.

After spending some time together, Qu Ting and Chen Jinhui both had feelings for each other and introduced their family situations to each other. When Chen Jinhui went back this time, the two exchanged addresses and planned to communicate for a while and then develop further depending on the situation.

So now when Chen Jinhui is mentioned in front of Qu Ting, the girl will show a rare shyness.

"If you really get married, can you accompany your children to the army?" Tian Cai didn't know as much about the system of accompanying your children to the army in that era as Qu Ting herself.

"Not yet. His current rank isn't high enough, but it's said that it will be soon," Qu Ting shook the mallet in her hand. "I tried to test my mother's attitude yesterday, and she didn't object much. But if I really marry a soldier like this, I can't accompany him to the army after marriage, and I'll have to live with his parents. If we don't get along then—"

"It also depends on what kind of people her husband's family is like. If they have a good personality, then she'll live with them." He looked around again, but didn't see anyone in the relationship. Then he lowered his voice and said, "If she's like Wang Songbai's mother, I advise you to forget about it. Don't keep this man. There are plenty of handsome soldiers out there. Why do you have to hang yourself on this one?"

"Brother Jin Hui said his mother has a very good temper," Qu Ting couldn't help but defend her future boyfriend. However, her voice became increasingly quiet under Tian Cai's teasing gaze. In the end, she simply punched Tian Cai in anger, "What kind of look is that!"

“There aren’t many sons who think bad of their mothers.”

After the two finished washing clothes, they went home to cook. Tian Cai took out a roll of rope from the main room and hung it on a bamboo pole specially inserted in the crack of the courtyard wall. They hung two sets of sheets and quilt covers on it, completely blocking the view from outside even with the door open.

After finishing his meal, Tian Cai took the "Compendium of Materia Medica" and sat in the pavilion to rest. He remembered that Qiu Xiaohuan had sent things here twice, but he couldn't refuse them. He decided to make some facial soap and cream for her so that they could have some exchanges.

So she got up and went into the house, filled a small winnowing basket with some herbs, and moved the medicine grinder over to the ground. She read a book on it while moving her feet. For a while, the only sounds in the yard were the chirping of insects and birds and the grinding of the medicine grinder.

Tian Cai turned a page of the book, stopped and picked up a few more herbs to throw in, but she heard light footsteps coming from outside the door. The sound stopped at the door and did not go in. She couldn't tell who it was through several layers of sheets. After thinking about it, she put down the book, stood up and walked over.

As soon as I reached the door, I saw a little head sticking out from the door, looking into the yard. When it saw Tian Cai coming, it hid again in a flash.

Tian Cai couldn't help but laugh, "I saw you, what's the point of hiding now? Come out quickly!"

The little girl was hiding outside the door. When she heard what Tian Cai said, she clenched her fists in frustration. After hesitating for a while, she finally came out of the door and timidly called out, "Sister Tian."

It was little girl Tingting. Tian Cai hadn't seen her for almost half a year. Mainly because she was very busy every day, with one thing after another.

She waved at the little girl, and when she got closer, she bent down slightly. "Why don't you come in? Is there something you want to see me for?"

Tingting blinked her big eyes and looked around the yard quietly. Not seeing what she was looking for, she lowered her eyes in disappointment, and her whole face looked depressed.

Tian Cai understood immediately and nodded her forehead. "Are you here to look for Mimi?"

"Um."

"But Mimi isn't home. She's gone to the mountains to visit her friends again," Tian Cai said, reaching out and stroking the little girl's fluffy hair. "Does Grandpa know you're coming?"

"Grandpa knows. Grandpa said I can come out and play now."

Tian Cai nodded and pointed to the pavilion on the side. "How about you stay with me for a while?"

Tingting hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

So Tian Cai led her to sit in the pavilion. She stopped reading and talked to her while grinding medicine with her feet. Fearing that the little girl would be bored, she would occasionally pretend to ask her for help by putting some medicinal materials in the medicine. Later, she simply handed the medicine grinder to her.

Tingting's legs moved quickly, her eyes sparkling. She had never played with such a toy before. It was much more interesting than digging in the soil and pretending to cook at home every day. She didn't want to stop even though her legs were sore.

Tian Cai went into the house and mixed two cups of honey water. This was wild honey she got in the mountains, but it took a lot of effort to get it. At that time, her face was stung with several blisters. If she hadn't brought ready-made ointment, she would have been in pain for many days.

Tian Cai specially emptied all the cans in her house to store it, filling two large bottles in total, enough for her to drink.

When the little girl Tingting saw the honey water brought by Tian Cai, she couldn't take her eyes off it. Since she came here, she rarely had the chance to eat candy. She seemed to have the impression that only the uncle who the grandfather said was a bad guy had given her some candy residue.

But she knew that this thing was precious. When she saw Tian Cai put one of the cups in front of her, she quickly pushed the cup back and said, "Sister Tian, ​​I don't want to drink it."

He said he didn't want to drink, but he secretly swallowed his saliva.

Tian Cai didn't know why, but seeing her like that, he felt his eyes sore. "It's okay, this is Sister Tian treating you to a drink. Let's be friends. Don't forget me when you have something delicious in the future."

Tingting thought about it and nodded solemnly.
