The day after receiving Niu Dapang’s letter, I went to rest again.
Tie Lanyan was preparing to go to the county again, and happened to go to the post office to withdraw money.
When the former postman came to deliver the letter on his eight-bar bicycle, everyone in the educated youth compound saw him.
Everyone knew that someone in her family sent letters and money to her, so she would have a clear way to go shopping in the future.
After saying hello to the person in charge, Hu Hao, Tie Lanyan set off.
While riding the ox cart, I also met Song Xue's mother, He Chunhua.
"Hey, Miss Yan, are you going to the town?"
He Chunhua enthusiastically pulled Tie Lanyan to sit next to her.
Tie Lanyan smiled and replied: "Hello, Auntie, I will go to the county."
The words had just fallen.
A horse-faced lady next to him asked curiously:
"Tie Zhiqing, last time I saw you coming back from the county with a lot of bags, are you going again this time?
I saw the postman delivering a letter to you yesterday. Did your family send you money?
You girls should save money. If you spend so lavishly, how will you get married in the future? Otherwise, your in-laws will dislike you."
Tie Lanyan frowned and was about to speak, but He Chunhua interrupted her:
"I say, Sister Wang, you shouldn't be too nosy. The family of the educated youth is rich, so what does her family's affairs have to do with you?"
Aunt Wang laughed dryly and said, "I'm just saying it casually."
She didn't dare quarrel with He Chunhua.
Although He Chunhua looks easy to get along with, she actually has a strong temper and is particularly strong in fighting.
At that time, He Chunhua's husband died unexpectedly, and she was pregnant with Song Xue, an orphan, and was about to give birth.
The eldest son, Song Baiyuan, joined the army and will not be back for a while.
Uncle Song and his parents-in-law deliberately spread rumors that He Chunhua was unlucky in marriage and wanted to kick He Chunhua out of the house in the middle of winter.
He Chunhua was so angry that she chased Uncle Song with a kitchen knife and cut a big hole in his head, despite her 9-month-old belly.
The two parents-in-law were not spared, one had her face scratched and the other had her leg injured by a brick.
When He Chunhua's younger brother learned about this, he brought people to the Song family and smashed everything.
He Chunhua's mother, Mrs. He, refused to eat or drink for a whole day and stood at the door of Old Song's house cursing for a whole day.
This matter caused a lot of uproar and everyone in the village knew about it.
Finally, under the auspices of the brigade leader and the village elders, He Chunhua took her children and separated from the old Song family.
Of course, everything and money is divided in half.
The old Song family refused, and Mrs. He scolded them again, saying that if they didn't agree, she would stay at their house every day.
In the end, the Song family was at fault and had to accept the consequences.
They are in such a mess, they definitely can't live together.
The He family took He Chunhua back home, and after she had given birth and was out of the confinement period, they helped her build a two-room mud hut in the village.
It was deliberately made extra far away.
Old Song's family is in the west of the village, and their family is in the east of the village.
It’s more than half an hour away, and the main point is that out of sight, out of mind.
The mother's family is supportive and the sons are competitive.
He Chunhua's health has been getting better and better in recent years.
Not only did he rebuild a grand brick and tile house in the village, but he also had extra money in his pocket and didn't even have to go out to work.
The Song family hasn't been doing well these years.
Upon learning that He Chunhua's eldest son Song Baiyuan was successful in the army, he shamelessly came to ask for peace, but was chopped out by He Chunhua with a kitchen knife.
There were a few gossiping aunts in the village who said behind Song Baiyuan's back that there was nothing wrong with him not getting married at his age.
When He Chunhua heard this, she chased them three miles with a kitchen knife, frightening them so much that they cried and begged for mercy.
Therefore, He Chunhua also has a fierce nickname: He Caidao!
The person who should not be provoked the most in Osmanthus Village is No. 2.
A captain holds great power in the village.
There is also He Chunhua and He Caidao, who chopped people all over the village with a kitchen knife.
In the final analysis, it was because she had a powerful son who was the battalion commander of the army. No one dared to provoke him.
Aunt Wang thought about this and added:
"Iron Youth, I'm just saying this, don't take it to heart."
If I had known that Tie Lanyan was so familiar with He Caidao, she would have kept her big mouth shut.
Tie Lanyan smiled and said, "I won't take it to heart. I usually treat such words as the barking of a dog."
Aunt Wang's mouth twitched.
Why do I feel that this iron educated youth is not a good person?
She looks so delicate and weak, but the words she says are so disgusting.
He Chunhua watched with a smile on her face, her eyes full of admiration.
She is worthy of being the daughter-in-law she has chosen. Her skill in teasing people is even better than hers.
It's a pity that her eldest son already has someone he likes, otherwise she would have to bring the two of them to meet.
On the oxcart to the town, He Chunhua pulled Tie Lanyan along.
Tie Lanyan is actually not used to being so intimate with people.
She was an orphan in modern times, and she is also an orphan in this era. She has never been so close to an elder.
But unexpectedly, she did not resist He Chunhua's contact.
Maybe she was moved by the genuine smile in He Chunhua's eyes.
He Chunhua: "Girl Yan, you came back from the county today, why don't you come to my house for dinner? I have always wanted to thank you for what happened recently.
Don't worry, my son is not at home, he has returned to the army."
Tie Lanyan thought about it and nodded, "Okay, I'll bother you then."
He Chunhua's face was wrinkled with smile: "It's okay, I'm happy if you come to dinner!"
The more she looked at this girl, the more she liked her.
What a pity, we don’t have this fate.
......
Arriving in the town, Tie Lanyan said goodbye to He Chunhua:
"Auntie He, I'm leaving first. You're busy."
He Chunhua nodded at her and said, "Okay, remember to come back to my house for dinner in the afternoon. My house is in the east of the village. You can ask the villagers and they will tell you."
Tie Lanyan: "Okay, I know."
Tie Lanyan first went to the post office to withdraw money, and then walked to the bus station to take the bus.
Two hours later, the bus arrived at the county.
Tie Lanyan opened her sleepy eyes and got off the car in a daze.
She fell asleep on the bus again, just like last time.
You know what, she slept soundly in such a rocking car.
I went out early in the morning and didn't eat much, so I'm hungry now.
Tie Lanyan walked into a corner and found a space.
Take a bottle of canned yellow peaches and two big meat buns to eat.
After a delicious meal, Tie Lanyan sat in front of the dressing table to put on makeup.
Last time she came to the county, she was there to investigate the black market. This time she was going to do something big, so naturally she had to disguise herself.
Tie Lanyan transformed herself into a man's makeup.
A dark face, thick eyebrows, a mole on the mouth, and a beard at the corners of the mouth.
The exposed neck, ears and hands are all blackened.
Her hair was tied up and fixed, and she wore a black cap, a black suit, and black cloth shoes.
In less than half an hour, a young man dressed in ordinary and low-key clothes appeared in the mirror.
"Hi, hello, Xiaonan."
Tie Lanyan lowered her voice and greeted her in the mirror.
This was a nickname she gave herself, and she called herself that from then on.
Soon, Tie Lanyan came out of the space with a backpack on her back and walked towards the black market...
