Tian Cai finally returned to Huangxian two days later. Although she had already sent a telegram to Commander Yu, she went to the county party committee compound as soon as she got off the bus.
"You are such a brave girl! How dare you run around alone? And that Deng guy can actually let you go!" Commander Yu scolded. Ever since he received the call from Deng Weimin, he had calculated the date and asked someone to wait at the station.
After waiting for a long time, she received a telegram from Tian Cai. The little girl ran away to the river province without saying a word!
And that old bastard Deng Weimin actually dared to give her a fake letter of introduction. He has no principles at all. I must make him pay when they meet again!
No matter how much he cursed in his heart, as long as Tian Cai was back safely, it was good.
"I've been staying in Huang County and haven't gone out yet. I couldn't help but take a stroll, hehe." Although Tian Cai had guessed that Commander Yu would be angry, she was a little scared when she really faced him. She swallowed and promised, "I won't run around next time, and I will definitely tell you the first time if anything happens!"
"That's more like it!" Commander Yu decided to stop while he was ahead. What had already happened was pointless. However, he was still quite curious. "Xiaotian, why did you go to He Province? That's my hometown!"
"Nothing, just looking around. Actually, I wanted to go to Beijing, but unfortunately I'm a bit late." Tian Cai's eyes flashed and he pretended to stretch. "Oh, I won't stay with you anymore. I have to go back quickly. No one has been home for a month. I don't know what the situation is like. I miss my cat!"
"Hmph, I don't think you're thinking enough!" Commander Yu snorted twice. Seeing that Tian Cai wasn't wearing much, he asked Xiao Zhao to find the army green coat that Tian Cai had worn here before. "Do you think the weather is still the same as when you just left? Hurry and put it on, or you'll freeze to death later!"
Tian Cai was not polite either. She was really cold, so she only took the thin light green cotton jacket when she left. Regardless of the smell of the car body after sitting in it for several days, she took the green coat and put it on.
Mmm, it’s really warm.
Commander Yu pulled Tian Cai aside and talked to her for a few more words. Seeing that the time was almost up, he asked Xiao Zhao to send her back to Kaoshan Village.
After entering the village, Tian Cai asked Xiao Zhao to go back. The leaves of the trees she saw along the way had all fallen off, leaving the trees bare. It was a bit cloudy today, and when the cold wind blew, she couldn't help but wrap her coat tightly.
After walking a little further in, Tian Cai turned and went to Zhang Defa's house. When he got there, he was not scolded. He didn't know what Tian Cai was doing specifically, and of course he didn't know when she would come back.
All I know is that this girl was borrowed by the military district.
"You're back just in time. Go home quickly and warm up the kang," Zhang Defa said with a kind smile. Remembering the gossip in the village, he reminded them, "I told you to go back to your hometown."
Tian Cai understood immediately and went straight home after leaving his house. Everyone in the village who saw her greeted her warmly.
"Doctor Tian is back!"
"Did everything go smoothly on the way?"
"Hey, Doctor Tian, you're finally back. My donkey caught a cold a while ago, and we had to go to the commune to see a doctor. It took several days of injections before he got better!"
"Doctor Tian has relatives there? Are you leaving again this time?"
Tian Cai looked at the enthusiastic faces and greeted them one by one in a good mood. "The journey was smooth. I have a cousin in my hometown. I won't leave this time. I will go back and pack up first. If you need medical treatment, just come to me later."
“Okay, okay!”
After Tian Cai exchanged greetings with others, he hurried home.
Seeing her small courtyard from afar, she felt an unprecedented sense of belonging in her heart. Unconsciously, she accepted this place from the bottom of her heart and completely regarded it as her home.
Tian Cai unlocked the door and pushed it open. It hadn't snowed recently, so the yard was relatively clean. There were only some leaves blown by the wind piled up in the corner, which would be just enough to use for starting a fire later.
She opened the door and saw a layer of dust in the room. When her eyes turned to the small cushion on the kang, she couldn't help laughing.
She clearly remembered to put the small mat at the door before leaving, for fear that Mimi would come back dirty and go to the kang. She didn't expect that the little guy would take it to the kang by himself while she was away. He really refused to take any loss.
Tian Cai took off his outer military coat and stuffed it into the kang cabinet. Without changing his clothes, he started working directly.
When she left, she was afraid that the cold weather would freeze and crack the water tank, so she poured out all the water inside. Now she could only carry buckets to fetch water, and she could do nothing without water.
When Tian Cai was fetching water, he found that although he had not been home for a month, the well had been replaced with a hand-cranked water pump, which saved much more effort.
After fetching water, I first cleaned the water tank, then washed the pot and boiled water. The two buckets of water I just fetched were used up, and I had to continue fetching water.
"It would be great if there was running water!" Tian Cai couldn't help muttering. If there was a sewer, using water would be much more convenient.
After three trips, she finally filled both water tanks and the large wooden basin. The well water was not cold, and the water in the wooden basin would be used for washing clothes soon.
Tian Cai took out a rag and wiped the kitchen first, then moved to the house. There were few furnishings in the house, so it took less than an hour to wipe it twice.
After cleaning the house, it was his turn. The water had been boiled. After Tian Cai locked the door, he took off his clothes, got into the bathtub and took a good bath.
After taking a shower, she still had to wash clothes. She was really tired today and didn't want to move at all. She even had some sweet potato porridge for dinner.
Tian Cai waited for the whole afternoon, but he still didn't come back until it was dark. She couldn't help but put on her coat and went out from the backyard. Looking at the dark mountains not far away, Tian Cai put her fingers in her mouth and blew a whistle.
In the woods of late autumn, a majestic adult lynx is jumping onto a high protruding rock with elegant steps, standing there overlooking its territory.
The wind blew its beautiful fur, and Mimi sniffed it gently, carefully distinguishing whether there was a tiny smell of blood. Its sense of smell was more than a thousand times that of humans, and it could smell any suspicious subtle smell.
Not smelling anything unusual, it yawned lazily, revealing its sharp teeth.
Suddenly, its ears moved with its mouth wide open, as if it heard some unbelievable sound, and the whole cat was stunned.
If Tian Cai saw it at this time, he would probably not be able to help but go over and rub it. The look of it standing there with its mouth open is so cute.
Mimi realized what she heard and her eyes suddenly lit up as if they were filled with stars.
“Ouch—”
While shouting, he jumped down from the rock quickly and disappeared into the woods in a few flashes.
