Then the two of them talked about spring plowing, and walked around the bamboo forest without stopping and headed up the mountain.

After the figures disappeared, Tian Cai slowly walked down the mountain carrying the bamboo basket.

I have tried my best to keep a low profile, but I still attracted some people's attention. It seems I have to be more low-key in the future.

But this mother and son are really weird. Tian Cai remembered that Zhang Chuanliang's mother looked quite normal. When she was treating villagers in the brigade before, his mother was chatting with someone, as if someone wanted to propose marriage to her son.

As for Zhang Chuanliang's excellence, Tian Cai didn't know what was so proud about being an ordinary militiaman. If he became a militia captain, wouldn't he be so proud?

However, considering that these two people have not done anything yet, Tian Cai cannot take direct action against them. He can only put this matter aside for the time being and remind himself to be careful and not fall into any trap again.

The weather is getting warmer day by day, and before we know it, it's time to go to the fields to work.

A few days before starting work, Tian Cai went up the mountain alone and hunted a roe deer and a few hares. After slaughtering the roe deer, he cut a pound of the best meat and gave it to Zhang Defa and Luo Xiuyan respectively. After thinking about it, he cut out a few more pounds and gave half a pound to each of them.

Before, Tian Cai rescued someone on the ice, and was later pulled back by Yan Zhiqing and Qin Ling with sticks. She still remembered the people who helped her at that time, so she gave the meat to these families this time as a thank you for their help.

As for Yan Zhiqing, who was the first to stretch out the stick, Tian Cai deliberately gave him an extra piece of meat.

Yan Xudong wanted to refuse, but he thought that he hadn't tasted meat for more than a month, and he had heard from the villagers that roe deer meat was tender and delicious, so he took this opportunity to try it.

As for what Dr. Tian said about thanking him, he didn't take it to heart at all. Anyone would lend a hand in the situation at that time.

He considered the meat as borrowed and would return it next time he went to the commune to buy some meat.

Tian Cai just came to find Yan Xudong. Everyone in the Youth League Institute saw it. When they saw him coming back with the meat, they all asked him the reason.

"Has Doctor Tian also fallen for your charm?" Li Sheng winked at him with a wicked smile on his face.

"What nonsense are you talking about? It was about the last incident on the ice. Doctor Tian thanked us for our help." Yan Xudong didn't want to say much at first, but he thought that if he didn't explain the reason clearly, these people would make random guesses, and it would be bad if other things were spread out.

"Hey! Why wasn't I there at that time? If I had helped to pull it, wouldn't I have a bite of the meat today?" Li Sheng, the fearless man, continued to speak in a mean way, his eyes still glancing at the meat.

Ever since the educated youth camp started cooking, he had been eating with Yan Xudong and Yu Mingjiang.

Yan Xudong couldn't help laughing at his funny look and nodded cheerfully, "Don't worry, you'll get a bite of meat today."

"I've been waiting for you to say that! What a brother!" Li Sheng achieved his goal and happily went to wash his hands to help. He picked up the meat and took a look. "Huh? It's not pork, right? The color is wrong?"

"Yes, roe deer meat."

Yu Mingjiang smiled and said, "That's a real treat! I've heard from my elders that the roe deer meat here is delicious. Now we can try it."

The male educated youth were so happy because of the pound of meat that it was like a holiday, but the female educated youth were just the opposite.

Just now, when Tian Cai came over to deliver the meat, Qiu Xiaohuan, who had come out to pour water, saw it clearly. Although she didn't know what the two of them said, she still saw Tian Cai handing the food to Yan Xudong. The most important thing is that Yan Xudong accepted it! !

Looking at Tian Cai's leaving back, Qiu Xiaohuan narrowed her eyes.

After delivering the meat to Yan Xudong, Tian Cai went to Qin's house again. She knocked on the door for a long time but no one answered. It seemed that no one was at home.

There was no choice but to take it back home, thinking of dealing with it later.

The old and young in the village had been idle for a whole winter, so as soon as spring came, they went to the fields to earn work points. After all, they would feel uneasy if they didn't make any money, so they turned the land over before the spring plowing.

Today the team assigned us to work on the corn press. This press is the root of the corn stalks left in the ground after last year's harvest. Part of it is supported on the ground. It must all be cleared away before spring plowing, otherwise it will affect the subsequent sowing.

The villagers went to the brigade to get tools and went to work in the fields. Some families worked together with their children. The adults dug the press out of the ground, and the children knocked off the dirt on it. After drying, the press could be taken home as firewood. The brigade did not care.

However, most of the people doing this work are men. After all, it is a strenuous job. Like most women, Tian Cai was assigned the task of weeding in the fields.

The person who led them in the work was the only female team leader, Li Guangxia. Tian Cai and several female educated youth had never done this before, but it was Aunt Li who taught them step by step, and soon they all mastered the weeding techniques.

By the time they got off work at noon, several female educated youth had blisters on their hands. Tian Cai was better off. She had been busy all winter, chopping wood and grinding medicine, which were both hand-worn tasks. A thin layer of calluses had already grown on her hands, which now became a protection for her.

Tian Cai went home and quickly had lunch. She washed herself and lay down on the kang for a nap. After working for the whole morning, she was sweating a lot even though she was not exerting much effort. She decided to wear less in the afternoon.

I heard that the male educated youth who worked as oil presses could not even lift their hands the next day after work, and some had blisters on their palms. During those days, every educated youth came to Tian Cai to buy medicine, some for external injuries, some for medicated oils, but the most common medicine was for external injuries.

Qiu Xiaohuan inquired about the location of Tian Cai's house and walked there alone. Whenever she walked across from the villagers, she would tug at the hem of her clothes uncomfortably. She was wearing a newly made baggy dress that didn't fit her well and completely covered her slim figure.

The clothes she brought with her were all those she used to wear in the city. Although they looked loose on the surface, some small details had been thought of so that they could best highlight her waist.

She originally intended to wear it for Yan Xudong to see, but when she got to this remote place, she realized that he was not the only man in the world.

The old men in the village looked at her as if she was not wearing any clothes, so she usually stayed in the Youth League Home and did not go out. Later, she simply asked the aunt in the village to help her make a gray coarse cloth shirt.

Qiu Xiaohuan's face also changed from embarrassment at the beginning to anger. "What a lousy place! I really want to dig their eyeballs out!"

He went to Tian Cai's house with a lot of anger in his heart. When he entered the house, he saw Tian Cai sitting in the yard reading a book. "Well, Mr. Tian, ​​we are working hard in the fields, and you are reading leisurely here. You should let the villagers see your face that you are doing nothing but getting work points for free."

Tian Cai raised his head and gave her a puzzled look. "Are you sick? I've been working on the field with you these past few days, and you don't even know if I've done any work. I think you're blind."

Just because Tian Cai has a good temper doesn't mean anyone can step on her. It's not like your mother has to spoil you in everything. She doesn't cause trouble, but she's not afraid of it either.

Qiu Xiaohuan choked. She was so angry that she lost her mind. She had been weeding in the same field for the past few days. She was covered in dust when she came back from the field, but Tian Cai was fresh and clean. You could tell from the dripping hair that he had just taken a shower. Thinking of this, she felt uncomfortable again.
