Three days before the Chinese New Year, Niu Feifei realized that she had been hit by a golden opportunity and could return to the city.
Ever since they heard the news, everyone in the Youth League Institute was excited. But no matter how excited they were, they knew they had no chance.
The Beishan Brigade is quite special. The two captains are both ruthless and impartial. They also brought some things with them, hoping to use the back door, but Zhang Defa's wife, who used to accept some things, refused to accept anything this time.
Captain Li was even more uncooperative, so everyone could only stay in the Youth League Home with trepidation, carefully recalling their performance over the past year and considering whether there was any hope of returning to the city.
Although she and Liu Yanqing are the two female educated youth with the highest work points this year, there are also male educated youth!
Niu Feifei compared herself with others and then gave up.
As a result, a pie fell from the sky and hit her.
When He Yuzhen heard the news, she felt so angry that she couldn't control herself and looked like a donkey again.
She didn't know where the problem lay. According to her calculations, the spot should have eventually gone to her, but now it had gone to Niu Feifei. What went wrong?
She didn't know that all this was thanks to a word from Yan Xudong.
Ever since Niu Feifei knew she could go back to the city, she started packing her luggage, taking away everything she could and giving away things she couldn't. She planned to hurry up and maybe be able to celebrate the New Year with her family.
No matter what happens at the Youth League Home, it has nothing to do with Tian Cai. She is also busy preparing for the New Year. Even though she is the only one at home, she still wants to celebrate the New Year in a proper way.
The next day, she carried a large basket of mountain products and boarded a bus to the county town. The New Year was the busiest time of year, and everyone, whether rich or poor, would buy some New Year's goods.
As soon as Tian Cai got on the donkey cart, he saw Sun Aiguo driving a tractor towards him.
The two greeted each other, and she only learned from Sun Aiguo that Niu Feifei was taking the train today and several educated youth would go with her to see her off.
This was the first educated youth from Beishan Brigade to return to the city. Li Tiegang agreed to let them take a tractor to send him off, but they had to pay for the diesel.
Niu Feifei was about to return to the city, and she was not stingy with the gas money before leaving, and agreed very readily. Because Tian Cai was familiar with the educated youth in Kaoshan Village, he was also pulled to sit on the tractor.
She got along well with most of the educated youth. She gathered her bamboo basket around her, listened to their laughter and singing along the way despite the cold wind.
Seeing that everyone had parting gifts, Tian Cai thought that he and Niu Feifei got along well and planned to give her something. He searched his pockets and found that he had nothing but money, so he quietly shrank into a corner to reduce his presence.
Tian Cai got off the car at the supply and marketing cooperative, said goodbye to Niu Feifei, and turned to walk inside.
"Sister, you came just in time!" Du Chunyan's eyes lit up when she saw Tian Cai, and when she looked at the bamboo basket behind her, she couldn't stop smiling.
Last year, she sent chestnuts bought from Tian Cai to Qian Liming's home. Later, the leader's wife came to ask her where she bought the chestnuts, and hinted that she wanted Du Chunyan to send some more. At that time, Tian Cai had no more, so the matter was shelved. For this reason, she sent some other things to the leader.
After the autumn harvest, Tian Cai did send some more, but the quantity was not large. He only gave her half a basket at that time. After that, no one knew what the girl was busy with, and she never came to the county again.
"It just so happens that I'm here to buy some New Year's goods today. I remembered that you mentioned that you wanted chestnuts, so I filled another basket and brought it over." Tian Cai picked up a separate bag in his hand and lifted a piece of the cloth covering the bamboo basket, revealing the big, plump chestnuts inside.
"Oh, you're the only one who still thinks of me. Let me tell you, your chestnuts have been a great help to me!" Du Chunyan closed the bamboo basket and then dragged Tian Cai to the office. "I'm not going to hide the fact that I'm hungry. Whether your brother-in-law can move up next year depends on your chestnuts!"
Of course, the truth is not as exaggerated as Du Chunyan said. Qian Liming has been in his current position for five years. It can be said that his qualifications are sufficient. If he wants to move up a level, it is just a matter of a word from his superiors. Du Chunyan talked to the superiors last year. If the superiors are satisfied this year, then everything will be fine, right?
Tian Cai also knew how much water was in this statement, and did not take it to heart at all. The two of them settled the money for the chestnuts, and Du Chunyan took her to the warehouse.
In addition to buying his own New Year's goods today, Tian Cai also wants to buy a thermos for Qu Ting.
It just had to be similar to the ones she bought before. When Tian Cai bought it before, there were only bamboo and aluminum shells, but now there is also an iron shell. Tian Cai shook it in her hand and found the iron shell one a bit heavy. She would fill it with water later, so she decided not to buy it.
She looked around and finally picked one with an aluminum shell and print. However, the print at the bottom was blurred, so it was classified as a defective product. The thermos that usually costs six yuan can now be bought for four yuan. She thought about it and ordered two.
On Du Chunyan's recommendation, Tian Cai bought two pairs of cotton socks, some woolen paper, some ox tongue biscuits, peach cakes and fruit candies. During the Chinese New Year, she also wanted to visit a few families with whom she had a good relationship.
Du Chunyan also used her internal connections to get her some dried kelp and put it in a basket. In the end, she filled up the entire bamboo basket and took it back.
Of course, she didn't get the dried kelp for free. She had to go to the county tomorrow to deliver another basket of chestnuts.
Tian Cai thought about the chestnuts that filled half the cellar and agreed readily. She couldn't eat them all anyway and the pile would take up a lot of space.
Afterwards, she went to the address Hong Siqing left her, thinking that she would bring some things to see him during the New Year, but when she got there, she found that the door was locked from the outside.
