When Tian Cai arrived at the Youth League Home, he saw smoke coming out of the chimney.

She had initially considered making a deal with the female educated youth, but the only two female educated youth she could talk to were Liu Yanqing and Niu Feifei. Both of them were of average means and would definitely not be willing to use their money to exchange for a bite to eat.

It was different for the male educated youth. The ones headed by Yan Xudong all came from relatively well-off families and didn't care about that. Moreover, Tian Cai could only supply once a month or so, and the quantity was not much, so every transaction was very pleasant.

Today, too, when Tian Cai passed by, Yu Mingjiang happened to be coming out of the backyard holding an umbrella. Seeing Tian Cai, she was startled, then she winked at her and greeted her warmly, "Doctor Tian, ​​are you here to deliver medicine to Li Sheng? Oh, I'm so sorry to have you run all the way here in the rain. Come in, come in!"

Tian Cai also chimed in, saying, "Don't think diarrhea is different from other things. The sooner you treat it, the better. Otherwise, you'll lose all the weight you've worked so hard to gain."

"Yes, yes, yes. Doctor Tian is really thoughtful. He originally wanted to go there after the rain stopped," Yu Mingjiang said as he pushed open the door and gestured to Li Sheng inside.

Li Sheng had just heard the two people talking. When he received Yu Mingjiang's signal, he immediately cried out "ouch, ouch". After the two people entered the house, the sound gradually subsided.

In the yard next door where the female educated youth lived, Li Lili came out after cooking and happened to see Tian Cai coming over. After hearing Yu Mingjiang say that he was there to deliver medicine, she looked away and pushed the door open to go in.

Tian Cai entered the main room and smiled at a few people. The few people who were not familiar with each other quickly became familiar with each other after he went to various communes to promote schistosomiasis.

"Doctor Tian, ​​what delicious food does he have today?" Li Sheng asked impatiently in a low voice, his nose twitching and his eyes glued to the basket.

Tian Cai lowered his voice and said, "I got two pheasants today. Do you want any?"

As he spoke, he opened the bamboo basket hidden under the straw raincoat, revealing the bright red pheasant meat inside. There was not a single hair on it and it was cleaned very cleanly.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Li Sheng jumped up with joy. "I was just telling Lao Yan and the others today that it would be great if they could get some meat. Doctor Tian, ​​you must have the roundworms in my stomach, otherwise how could you have delivered it to me at such a good time."

"Eh!" Tian Cai made a nauseous expression, "You are the roundworm."

Li Sheng also remembered the roundworms he saw in the toilet. He shook his head to get rid of the disgusting image from his mind and slapped himself on the mouth. "I was wrong, I was wrong."

Yan Xudong opened the door and came out. He had just finished writing the last few sentences of a letter to his family when he saw Tian Cai opening the bamboo basket to reveal the meat. He pushed his glasses and said with a smile, "What kind of tickets do you want this time?"

Tian Cai hadn't really decided what kind of coupons she wanted. She didn't need cloth coupons anymore. She had asked Luo Xiuyan to buy a small bag of dye at the market for the defective white cotton cloth she bought last time. She could dye it and make clothes for herself. They might not even have enough food coupons, and she didn't need to buy anything right now. "No coupons today, just money."

The price of a chicken at the supply and marketing cooperative was between two and three yuan. Of course, this required meat coupons. The black market price was around four yuan or even higher. However, pheasants were smaller than domesticated chickens, so they were cheaper. Yan Xudong thought for a moment, then pulled out a large unit from his pocket and handed it to her. "Is that enough?"

"That's enough!" Tian Caile happily took it and gave him four more dollars in change. Such an expensive chicken could only be afforded by these gentlemen.

However, she also knew that the money was not paid by Yan Xudong alone, but was shared equally by several people. As for how they divided it, it had nothing to do with her. Anyway, she could come and earn some extra money every once in a while.

Thinking of the chicken stewing in the pot, Tian Cai trotted back home with the basket.

When she got home, she didn't even bother to take off her straw raincoat. She quickly used a spatula to flip the chicken in the pot. She poked it with chopsticks and saw that the chicken was almost done. Then she washed her hands and cut potatoes into pieces and poured them in to stew together.

At dinner time, Tian Cai served Mimi another small bowl of stewed chicken with potatoes. As soon as she put it on the ground, she pounced on it and started eating it with big mouthfuls. She didn't stop until her stomach was bloated. It looked particularly funny from the back. She had finally seen what it meant to eat so much that the stomach was turned sideways.

After dinner, the little guy sat on the ground and licked his paws. When Tian Cai was washing the dishes, he fell asleep by the stove. All he did all day was eat and sleep.

Tian Cai took advantage of the time now to modify the clothes that were already a little too short. He took out the fabric that had been rolled up on the cuffs and trouser legs to cover the exposed wrists and ankles. It looked like he could wear it for another year.

I don’t know if it’s because of the dew, but I’m almost 18 years old, but I’m still growing taller.

The rain lasted for two days in a row, and the water in the ditch in front of the house almost flooded the road. Fortunately, Tian Cai had just cleaned it a few days ago, and there was a river not far behind her house. Most of the flooded water flowed into the ditch next to it. People living in lower-lying areas of the village were not so lucky.

As soon as the rain stopped, the village became lively.

"Zhou Laoer, I told you a long time ago to clean out your manure pit, but you didn't do anything. Now it's flooding my vegetable garden when it rains. How am I supposed to eat our vegetables in the future? Isn't that disgusting?" Yang Dashan looked at the shit flowers floating in the vegetable garden and the stench in the air, and he just wanted to drag the culprit over and give him a good beating.

Zhou Laoer had just come out of the toilet, tying his belt as he walked. Upon hearing this, he glanced at Yang Dashan's garden and said nonchalantly, "I haven't collected the money for the fertilizer yet. My wife was going to keep this manure for watering the vegetable garden, but now it's all been used to fertilize your land. No, you have to give me two eggs as compensation!"

Yang Dashan was so angry when he heard this that he jumped up and down, pointing at Zhou Laoer's nose and cursing, "Bullshit! You're using manure to water your radish field? My radishes are already sprouting, how can you still keep them after you've poured manure on them? You're still dreaming, aren't you? Eggs!

Several families nearby heard the noise and looked over. When Zhou Laoer saw that people were watching, he was unwilling to suffer any loss. He was a man who cared about his reputation, so he immediately shouted back at the top of his voice, and the curses became more and more unpleasant.

The two houses are next to each other, separated by a wooden fence in the middle of the vegetable garden. After living as neighbors for so many years, they can hear roughly what goes on in each other's homes, and while cursing at each other, they start to expose each other's secrets.

"You still have the nerve to talk about me? You are like a wimp and still have the nerve to talk about others. Do you think others don't know who you are until they get on your bed? It only takes a fucking fart and you don't even know if the child is yours!" Zhou Laoer was also angry. He didn't care what he was cursing. He just knew to say whatever ugly words he wanted.

When Yang Dashan heard this, his face immediately turned red. It wasn't just the two of them, there were so many neighbors around, and he could feel the old women's eyes glancing at his lower body. He immediately felt hot-headed and picked up a stone from the ground and threw it over.

"Ah!"
