The next day, Tian Cai planned to go to the county. As soon as he walked out of the house in the morning, he saw a layer of white ice crystals condensed on the ground. It was frost.
Thinking that she was going to the county anyway, Tian Cai simply carried a bamboo basket of mountain products. When she arrived, she gave half to Sister Zhao, who had bought mountain products from her before, and she planned to leave the remaining half to Du Chunyan.
Du Chunyan was so happy to see the chestnuts of the same quality as last year that she couldn't stop smiling. "Sister, next time you have more, please send me more. I can eat as many as you want! As long as they are of this quality, I won't let you down!"
Tian Cai agreed verbally, but he didn't intend to send it in his heart, at least not in the near future. If he wanted it, he could get it and highlight the rarity of the chestnuts!
She borrowed Du Chunyan's favor and bought a few pieces of defective cloth. One of the army green pieces only had a black mark as thick as a finger printed on the edge. When the time came to cut it out and not use it, she could make clothes without any impact.
Although Tian Cai herself was not fond of clothes of this color, she could not resist the trend, so she simply bought the whole piece of cloth and also bought five feet of gray ones that were more resistant to staining.
The supply and marketing cooperatives also had cotton shoes, but they were not called cotton shoes at that time. They were called cotton ula, which were about ankle-high and had laces in the front.
The only difference between doing it yourself and buying it is that the one you buy has a circle of rubber, which makes it more waterproof.
Tian Cai thought about it and decided to ask for a pair so that his cotton shoes wouldn’t get wet after sweeping the snow for a while.
But she couldn't help but secretly miss UGGs and her calf-length hiking boots.
Because he bought a lot of things, and cotton took up the most space, Tian Cai's bags and parcels looked very eye-catching when he returned. Then, when he was waiting for the team's donkey cart at the commune, he happened to meet Zhang Chuanliang again.
Tian Cai felt his gaze constantly drifting towards her, and tried to hold it back, but finally couldn't help it. She took advantage of the fact that his back was turned to her and kicked him on the butt. Then, in front of others who were looking at her, she patted her chest and said that she was also scared.
"Oh, I was scared to death. How could you be so careless that you fell down and made such a loud noise." Just at this time, Old Chen came over with a donkey cart. Tian Cai put the things aside, went over and pretended to help him up, and "accidentally" stepped on his calf.
"Hmm"
Zhang Chuanliang couldn't help but let out a groan.
When he saw Tian Cai extending his hand, he instinctively tried to dodge, but how could he dodge? Tian Cai grabbed his arm firmly and dragged him up.
She lowered her voice and said, "If you can't control your eyeballs, I don't mind digging them out and crushing them!"
Zhang Chuanliang shuddered when he heard the voice, and the scene of being beaten in the depths of his memory resurfaced before his eyes. However, he also had to save face in public, so he also begged for mercy in a low voice, "Auntie, ancestor, I was wrong, I was wrong, really, I will never dare to do it again, please, Auntie, have mercy on me..."
"Okay, shut up. It's annoying just listening to you." As soon as Tian Cai let go of his hand, he fell back to the ground with a thud.
She ignored him and sat on the other side of the cart with her things, staring at him.
Zhang Chuanliang got up from the ground in a panic, not daring to show any dissatisfaction. He carefully sat in the place farthest away from the female star, staring at his toes, not daring to glance to the side.
They returned home safely. Tian Cai immediately gave the prepared cloth and cotton to Huaihua. However, Huaihua's mother kept him and talked to him for a long time.
In the final analysis, the point was that Huaihua was ignorant and just took her things casually, and then Tian Cai had to waste a lot of time explaining the matter before the matter was settled.
I feel tired.
For the next two days, Tian Cai went up the mountain to cut trees during the day, and then sawed them into wooden blocks at night and placed them in the backyard to dry. She repeated the sawing action countless times every day, and even she, who always exercised, felt her arms ache.
When Luo Xiuyan came over and told her that the Youth League Party was today, Tian Cai was still a little confused, "What party?"
"Have you forgotten what I told you before? The educated youth from Qingshan Village are coming to hold a party with the educated youth from our village." Luo Xiuyan had just started talking when Tian Cai remembered what was going on. However, in her memory, she had already renamed this event a social gathering.
"This event is not a party but a blind date. You are not suitable to go." Tian Cai said. Luo Xiuyan could not go there at all. There were too many people there. If it got out that her fiancé also attended the party, he might be dissatisfied with the marriage.
When I looked back, I realized that I couldn't explain myself even if I was right.
"Huh?" Luo Xiuyan was stunned. "Then why did Yanqing tell us it was a party?"
"That might have been the plan at first, but it was later changed to a social gathering. I asked Captain Li's aunt, and the information should be correct." Tian Cai spread his hands, then couldn't help but boast, "You're out of luck, but Qu Ting and I can both participate."
Luo Xiuyan squinted at her and said unconvincedly, "Isn't this a blind date for educated youth? What does it have to do with you?"
Tian Cai twisted her body happily and said, "Aunt Li said that unengaged young men and women can go if they want."
Luo Xiuyan felt even more heartbroken.
So Tian Cai packed up and took Qu Ting and Mimi to watch the fun over there.
The social gathering in the educated youth courtyard has already begun. This time it is held in the courtyard of the male educated youth. There are several benches placed in a circle, and some melon seeds and candies are placed on the table. The educated youth are all dressed up and wearing brand new clothes.
The sun is shining brightly now, so it's not cold sitting in the yard.
Tian Cai and Qu Ting, along with other young men in the village, lay on the wall to watch the fun.
An unfamiliar male educated youth tried to get close to Qiu Xiaohuan, but she scolded him and he left in disgrace. Qu Ting couldn't help but sigh quietly, "Tsk tsk, the Queen of Flowers really lives up to her name."
Tian Cai nodded in agreement. Qiu Xiaohuan was not an ordinary person in the Youth League Institute. Few female educated youth were willing to confront her. As for the male educated youth, they would not get along with a woman like her.
She saw He Yuzhen having a pleasant conversation with a male educated youth from Qingshan Village, but after a while Xu Bingshuai sat over with a sullen face.
Tian Cai raised his eyebrows, with gossip burning in his eyes. He was afraid that a fight might break out soon, but it would be a good show to watch!
As a result, the male educated youth from Qingshan Village hesitated for a moment and then turned and left.
...What a coward! Tian Cai and Qu Ting sighed in disappointment at the same time.
She felt that this was not a solution. Even if the educated youth were attracted to each other and sat together to talk, their voices were relatively low and she could not hear them clearly from outside the courtyard wall.
She gently tugged at Qu Ting, and when she tilted her head to look at her, she whispered, "...Do you want to come in?"
Qu Ting blinked excitedly and nodded quickly. She had never been on a blind date before, and it looked like fun. Besides, it didn't mean that a blind date would be successful. There were many cases where it didn't work out.
Tian Cai simply called Dongzi and Zhang Baocai, who appeared on the other side of the wall, over, whispered a few words in their ears, and then returned to Qu Ting.
Qu Ting looked back and asked, "Where did they go?"
"It would be too conspicuous if we just went in. I'll ask them to get some more people over."
