Seeing this, Qin Ling had no choice but to find an excuse to leave.
"Did I say something I shouldn't have said?" Qu Ting said with a sad face, "I actually told you that other men are handsome in front of Second Brother Qin."
Tian Cai blinked and smiled innocently, "It doesn't matter, as long as you didn't say it in front of Chen Jinhui."
"snort!"
Qu Ting was carefree and soon stopped thinking about it. She came over quietly and said, "Really? You look so energetic. How about I take you to the fields now? It just so happens that your summer heat soup hasn't been delivered yet!"
Tian Cai refused, "It's not hot anymore, so I won't do it today."
"You'll regret it if you don't watch it!"
In the end, Tian Cai couldn't stand her nagging any more, so he told the truth, "I saw her this morning."
"Is it like I said, your face is so beautiful!" Qu Ting said like a fangirl, with her hands clenched into fists and placed on her chin, her eyes sparkling.
"It's okay."
The handsome guys at that time were all natural. Tian Cai had been in the later world for so many years, and had seen a lot of them, both processed and natural. Apart from being amazed at the first sight, it would be nothing special after a second look.
Qu Ting pouted. "You think this is just okay? Then what kind of person are you looking for?"
Tian Cai didn't answer directly. Instead, he changed the subject and talked about Chen Jinhui, which quickly attracted Qu Ting's attention. "By the way, when you receive your mail, please check to see if there is any letter from me. If there is, please bring it back to me directly."
"Yours?" Qu Ting was curious. "Who sent it to you?"
"secret."
According to her calculation, Hong Siqing should have received the package by now, but she didn't know whether the thing could reach his hands.
Far away in southwestern Sichuan Province, Hong Siqing was working in the fields when he suddenly heard someone calling him.
"Doctor Hong, there's a package for you. Come pick it up after work."
Hong Siqing responded, but he couldn't help wondering who could have sent him something. Even his son didn't know where he was being sent. He thought about it for a while but still had no clue.
After work, Hong Siqing went to the brigade headquarters alone.
"Doctor Hong, this is your package." The brigade secretary handed him a small package.
The team leader of this production team was a local Miao, but he grew up in a Han family. There were both Miao and Han people in the village. The older generation had always said that the Miao were good at insect poisoning. After Hong Siqing came, he found out that only a very small number of people really understood those things, and those people all lived in the mountains and never came out.
He happened to be a doctor who knew both Chinese and Western medicine, and the village was backed by a mountain. Ever since Hong Siqing saved the captain's mother and showed his excellent medical skills, his status in the village has risen sharply.
The Miao people don't care about all the mess mentioned above. They just know that Doctor Hong is a very remarkable person and they give him enough respect in the village.
If Doctor Hong had not repeatedly emphasized that he should not be treated specially, Captain Miao would not have planned to let him work. He even arranged for him to live in a better place than ordinary villagers. However, Hong Siqing himself objected and took the initiative to ask to live in the cowshed. He did all the work he was supposed to do every day and went up the mountain to collect herbs whenever he had time.
He did not take credit for himself or complain, but instead made the captain look at him with more respect and take better care of him.
Hong Siqing took the package, thanked him, and asked where the package was sent from.
The brigade secretary said it was sent from Liaoning Province.
Hong Siqing nodded, feeling somewhat puzzled. There was clearly no one left in his hometown, so why did a package suddenly arrive? Could it be some of his old friends?
When Hong Siqing thought that there were still people who cared about him when he arrived in this place, he couldn't control his good mood. After returning to the stilt house where he lived, he opened the package as soon as possible.
The first thing he saw was a paper bag wrapped in newspaper. When he opened it, there were several daily necessities inside, all of which he was used to. After coming here, the toothbrush was fine, but the toothpaste was made by grinding pig's tooth soap beans and salt picked in the mountains. He had gotten used to it after using it for so long.
Hong Siqing put the toothpaste and soap aside, touched the newspaper that wrapped them with care, smoothed out the wrinkles, folded it carefully and put it aside.
When Du Chunyan was helping Tian Cai pack the package, she casually pulled a piece of newspaper from the table to wrap the things, and unexpectedly it was exactly what Tian Cai wanted.
After Hong Siqing folded the newspaper, he saw a letter lying quietly underneath. The handwriting on it looked familiar.
After he opened them, he realized that these things and letters were sent by Tian Cai.
In the letter, Tian Cai first briefly talked about her current situation, saying that she was doing well and asked someone to find out his address so that she could send some things over.
"Teacher Hong, I wonder if you can receive these. If you can, could you please write me back? Also, please write down what you need here. Although I may not have much ambition, I can still provide you with some daily necessities."
"This girl..." Hong Siqing sighed and couldn't help but tear up.
It was only when he encountered trouble that he realized what it meant to be a friend in need. The little girl had only been taught by him for two months, but she was able to take the initiative to care about him when everyone was avoiding her. This was enough to show her noble character.
She must have spent a lot of effort to find her own address.
Hong Siqing sat there and calmed down before he took out some straw paper from the drawer and wrote back solemnly.
However, no matter how calm he was, he was still excited. Even the smell of the pigpen, which was so unpleasant in the past, was not so pungent anymore.

Tian Cai pulled up the elder's vegetables by the roots, shook off the dirt on them and threw them aside. If he raised chickens, he could feed them with them, otherwise he would throw them on the ground to dry and use them as straw for kindling.
As for those that were still edible, she picked them, washed them, and put them in the yard to dry, and then made pickles with them.
The spicy cabbage made by Tian Cai last year was widely praised. This year, several aunties want to learn how to make it with her. Moreover, the method is not only suitable for cabbage, but also for making radish strips, perilla leaves, dried cucumbers, etc.
When Tian Cai chats with the women in the village, she also learns from them. Every family has their own way of making pickles, and even the same pickles taste different in each family.
Last time, Tian Cai tasted the pickles made by Sun Yanhong's family using old cucumbers. They were filled with fennel and chili peppers. They tasted chewy and refreshing and tasted very good.
The cabbages planted before now looked a bit crowded. There happened to be a vacant space at this moment. Tian Cai estimated the approximate distance and pulled out the crowded ones and planted them in another place. He watered them with dew water, which would not delay the harvest at all.
After a busy morning, she finally tidied up the vegetable garden. She pulled out all the early beans, leaving only a row of late beans, which could be eaten for a month or so.
