When Du Chunyan came out, she saw Tian Cai standing next to the counter, watching the people next to him buying things with relish.
"Unity is strength - Tian Cai, did you cut your hair? You look so energetic now! Why don't you come into the house now that you are here? Come on, follow me in." Du Chunyan said with a smile.
Tian Cai smiled and nodded, then followed her into the office.
There was another person in the office besides Du Chunyan, so she simply took Tian Cai to the warehouse, and the two talked in low voices as they walked.
"Sister Chunyan, do people in the county speak like this now? I learned it just by watching others say it." Tian Cai thought it was quite new at first, but after saying a few words, he felt it was too complicated.
Du Chunyan also found it troublesome, but that was the situation. If others told you to say something, you had to follow suit. There were always people watching you, and you never knew who would bite you in the back. "There's nothing I can do. Take my red book back later and memorize a few easy sentences. You have to speak like this everywhere now. Anyway, if you memorize a few sentences and repeat them over and over again, no one will hold you back."
Tian Cai nodded and took out the shampoo from the bamboo basket. "I figured your shampoo was almost gone, so I made some new and adjusted the formula. I'll give you another acupuncture later, and the effect will definitely be doubled."
Du Chunyan had wanted to ask Tian Cai about the shampoo when she saw her. Now, she was just happy to hear what she said. She smiled and said, "I won't be polite with you. Look at my hair. I don't even need to wear a hat now. You've helped me a lot!"
Tian Cai noticed when Du Chunyan came out just now that the scalp that was vaguely visible before was now covered with furry hair. Although it was not as long as before and the newly grown hair was mostly fuzzy, it was still a lot. In this way, she looked several years younger than before.
"It just so happened that a new batch of goods arrived yesterday, and we just finished registering it this morning. Take a look and see if there's anything you want. Pick out more this time and come back with me for lunch. Your brother-in-law is home too."
The purpose of Tian Cai's visit this time was to get the defective products from the supply and marketing cooperative. After hearing this, she didn't bother to be polite and agreed.
She wanted to pick out some gifts, so she chose a pair of red pillowcases for each of her two sisters who were getting married. She deliberately chose different patterns, and the prints were slightly crooked, which was impossible to tell unless you looked closely.
Aunt Chen gave Tian Cai one dollar that day, and she decided to buy something according to this standard and send it over. After looking around, she didn't find any children's toys, so she simply bought two defective towels.
Anyway, when giving gifts, what matters is that adults know its value.
Seeing that there was still a lot of empty space in the bamboo basket, Tian Cai simply picked out a few items that he could use on a daily basis, and then followed Du Chunyan to pay the bill.
After settling the bill, it was almost time for them to get off work at noon. Du Chunyan said goodbye to the people in the office and took her away first.
The two chatted as they walked back. Du Chunyan heard that Tian Cai had not come to the county since the last time he delivered the ointment, so she told her roughly what had happened during this period. Tian Cai only found out about it at this time.
It turned out that a notice was issued at the beginning of September that students from all over the country would be exempt from transportation fees, whether by train or bus, and would also be given a certain living allowance. They were welcome to exchange and study in various places. In other words, as long as you have one of these two identities, you will not have to pay for food, accommodation, and transportation during this period.
The junior and senior high school students in the county who had previously suspended classes happily joined the team of big headlines and went to various parts of the country to gain knowledge and see the world. The streets were suddenly quiet.
Moreover, their parents are very supportive of their behavior. Without spending a penny from the family, the children can take trains, cars, and even ships to travel around the country to see the scenery of different cities and meet friends from all over the world.
Few people are willing to come to a small place like Huangxian. With the big headlines, everyone is willing to go to places they have never been to. More people choose to go to the capital as their first stop to watch the flag-raising ceremony and see the great leader.
After visiting the capital, people from the north will continue to go south. Anyway, they can go anywhere that the train can reach. They can go to Shanghai, see the canal and the sea scenery, and visit nationally renowned universities. Even if they don’t make a few close friends, they will still benefit a lot.
People from the south continued to head north to see the thousands of miles of ice and snow that had only appeared in textbooks, and to see how crystal clear the ice city was.
Even Du Chunyan's son went out with his classmates at school. He called back a few days ago and said that he had arrived in Xinfeng and was resting in a guesthouse there.
The classmates in their class unanimously decided to retrace the Long March, with the next stop being Rucheng, and then from Jinggangshan to Yan'an, walking the entire route before returning. Of course, he also made it clear to his mother that if they changed their minds halfway, he would continue to walk with them, so the meaning was that the return date was uncertain.
However, he said that every time he arrived at a big place, he would call home to report his safety.
Tian Cai looked at the needles stuck all over Du Chunyan's body and checked the time on her watch. "It will be ready in fifteen minutes."
"I told him not to go, because it's so chaotic outside now, with people everywhere." Du Chunyan naturally hoped that her son would stay by her side safely. She even kept her son out of trouble when several teachers at their school got into trouble. "But your brother-in-law insisted that he go out and see the world. He should bring enough money and come back if the situation gets worse."
Tian Cai had heard Grandpa Tian talk about this history before. These things happened in the second half of this year, but they would be stopped soon and they would be allowed to go back to their homes. However, she didn't remember when it would end.
"With so many students walking around and eating wherever they go, where can the government provide them with so much food and shelter? Who knows how much suffering they will suffer when they go out, especially since the weather will get cold soon. Where will they get so many quilts to cover themselves with? I'm so worried just thinking about it." Du Chunyan couldn't help but worry. Her son had never suffered any hardship since he was a child. Now he has nothing outside and who knows how much suffering he will have to endure.
Tian Cai didn't know if it was considered the early stage now, just over a month later, but she remembered that something seemed to have happened in the late stage, so she consoled him, "When he calls next time, persuade him and tell him to go and come back early, and come back as soon as he's almost done. I think it's not a good thing if it goes on for too long."
"That's right, but he has to be willing to listen to me. He's like a stubborn donkey, just like his father."
Just as he finished speaking, a man opened the door and came in. "What do you mean by follow me?"
