"What's wrong with this? Just take it," Commander Yu said sincerely. "To be honest, with your strength, you will only become more powerful in the future. The organization needs your help on many things. If you take what we give you now, it will be easier for us to ask for your help in the future, right? Of course, even if you don't want anything, it will still be a big hassle for you."
Tian Cai thought about it and realized that this was indeed the truth. He stopped worrying about it and said, "Then I won't be polite with you. Come to me if you have any problems in the future."
"I will definitely look for you, don't worry about that. As for that courtyard, if you have time now, I can take you there to have a look and let you get acquainted with the place."
"good."
So Tian Cai and Commander Yu went to Guangming Lane where the house was. This was the most ordinary small courtyard that can be seen everywhere in the county town. The house was no different from the surrounding ones. It was impossible to tell whether it was new or old. The courtyard was very spacious, and it looked a little smaller than the one Tian Cai had in Kaoshan Village. There was no backyard, and half of the front yard was set aside as a vegetable garden. Now there was nothing planted in it, only weeds grew.
There were four main rooms. Tian Cai went in to see that there was one bedroom, two living rooms and a kitchen. One of the bedrooms had a kang, and the other had a wooden bed. There were no carvings on the edges, just an ordinary double wooden bed, and there was nothing on it.
But this is the only furniture in the whole house. There is not even a table in the main room.
There was nothing in the kitchen except two stoves, one large and one small. The whole house could be described as bare.
"I'll ask Xiao Liang to bring over the missing things later. See if there's anything you want, and I'll ask him to get it as well." Commander Yu said somewhat embarrassedly. He remembered that there were still some daily necessities and furniture in the house when they had just taken it back. The criminals must have left in a hurry at that time and didn't take many things with them. They were afraid of leaving any clues, so they ordered to take away everything that could be taken away. But he didn't expect these guys to be so tidy. Not to mention the tables, chairs, and benches, they even took apart the pot. What could be in the pot? It was really ridiculous.
Tian Cai didn't bother to be polite. He found a pen and paper and wrote something. Commander Yu took the note, folded it, and put it in his chest pocket before preparing to go back. He had a meeting in the afternoon. "Then, Xiao Tian, please do as you please. Just close the door when you leave. I have something else to do this afternoon. This alley is a bit winding. Can you find the way?"
"I'll find it. Just go ahead and do your work. Don't worry about me. I'll be back soon."
"good."
Tian Cai didn't know how many households there were in Guangming Lane. This courtyard was number three, and number one was further inside, so it was a bit of a roundabout way to get in.
After the commander left, Tian Cai walked around the house a few more times, roughly planning what each place would be used for and what was still missing in the house. Seeing that it was almost time, he prepared to go home.
As a result, as soon as I went out, I bumped into someone coming out of the house opposite.
The two looked at each other.
Tian Cai raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you here?"
Qin Ling smiled and pointed to the house behind him. "This is where I stay in the county. Come in and take a look?"
Tian Cai stretched his neck and took a look through the crack in the open door. It looked similar to what he saw here, with nothing much to see. Besides, if he didn't leave now, he would miss the last bus back to the commune. So he said, "Let's wait and see another day. Are you going back to the village now?"
Qin Ling nodded, knowing that time was running out, so the two of them walked quickly towards the stop while talking.
After waiting for a while, the car came. For some reason, there were so many people on the car today that there was almost no place for the two of them to sit or even stand. Even with the windows open, Tian Cai could smell all kinds of strange smells coming from the surroundings.
In particular, some people stretched out their arms to grab the railings above. It was a hot summer day, and anyone who went to the county would be sweating all over. So when their arms were stretched out, all kinds of smells from their armpits rushed out, and Tian Cai secretly held his breath.
Her nose was already sensitive, and she almost fainted.
Cars at that time were different from those in later generations where overloading was strictly checked. Cars now were eager to pack as much as they could. If it happened to be before the New Year, there would be even more people going to the county to buy things, and it would be really crowded.
Tian Cai quietly stepped back, trying to get away from the uncle who smelled like a jar of sauerkraut that had been left to rot for two years. However, as soon as she loosened her hand, the car made a sharp turn and she fell straight towards the young man sitting in the seat next to her.
Tian Cai tried hard to keep his body steady, but he lost his balance due to the centrifugal force of the turn, and his body was thrown to the left.
This sudden change came unexpectedly. A second before Tian Cai fell, Qin Ling almost subconsciously reached out to pull Tian Cai back, so that she would not be so embarrassed to be thrown into the lap of a strange man.
Tian Cai rubbed her nose and pushed it away a little. Qin Ling had just bent slightly and her head hit her mandible.
Before Tian Cai could steady himself, the skinny old lady sitting on the other side saw them and called out in a loud voice, "Hey, isn't this Doctor Tian from the Beishan Brigade? Did you get hurt?"
When she shouted like that, the attention of almost everyone in the car was drawn to Doctor Tian from Beishan Brigade. He was a famous person in the commune. From schistosomiasis to meningitis, as well as various gynecological and men's diseases, he was a doctor with real skills and was very powerful!
Some people who had never seen Tian Cai for medical treatment, and had only heard of her but never seen her in person, now looked over curiously in the direction of the old lady's voice.
So the people in the car saw the famous young doctor Tian Cai being hugged by a tall young man around the waist, and there was surprise in their eyes.
Tian Cai: “…”
Damn it, my reputation!
In fact, Qin Ling quickly withdrew his hand, but the old lady spoke too quickly and the people in the car looked over quickly, so many people saw him withdraw his hand.
Tian Cai suddenly had an idea and turned around and shouted, "Thank you, Comrade Qin, for holding my hand. Otherwise, I would have been thrown out when I turned the corner just now!"
Qin Ling also cooperated very well. His face was full of seriousness, and he raised his voice slightly, "You're welcome. We are all serving the people."
The people who were watching the excitement in the car finally understood. It turned out that she had not stood firmly while turning just now. That's what they said. They hadn't heard that Doctor Tian said anything about her. They heard that she was not the type to flirt with men and was very serious!
When they said this, they suddenly remembered that Doctor Tian had not mentioned anyone else. Some people could not help but turn their gaze back and looked at Tian Cai twice. This girl looked good and had good looks. Were the people in Beishan Brigade blind? Why didn't anyone marry her quickly? If someone could marry such a capable wife who was beautiful and could make money, they would wake up laughing in their dreams.
