In the last row of the car, two women were looking at Tian Cai and whispering.
"What do you think of this young doctor? What do you think of my Binzi?" Lu Caixia whispered to the woman next to her.
The woman glanced at Tian Cai and whispered, "Are you interested?"
Lu Caixia nodded. "She's good-looking, a village doctor, and earns a lot of money. When the second son of the Liu family got married, she came with the new bride to see her off. She said a few words to me at the time, and I thought she had a pretty straightforward personality. I think she's a good person."
The woman looked around and whispered in Lu Caixia's ear, "I heard from the people in the Beishan Brigade that this girl has a bad temper!"
Lu Caixia didn't take it seriously. "You're talking as if I have a good temper. A bad temper doesn't affect my life. As long as I don't ruin the family and mess around, that's fine. Who doesn't have arguments in their life?"
Seeing that she didn't take it seriously, the woman secretly told her the gossip she had heard, "People say this girl can't stand any injustice. If someone makes her feel upset, she will make them feel upset too. She's really ruthless when she hits people. I heard that several people in the village wanted to date her, but as soon as they showed that intention, she beat them up black and blue. Otherwise, such a beautiful girl in the village would never have a partner!"
"That's impossible," Lu Caixia said, completely unconvinced. She raised her chin slightly and scolded the woman, "You're just a soft-hearted person. You believe everything people say and don't have any opinions of your own. I've told you countless times that what people say is the most untrustworthy. Do you know if the person who said that to you has any selfish motives? I tell you, it's the worst to learn about people from other people's words. When you didn't know me, what did you hear people say about me?"
The woman was silent. She had nothing to say about this. Before she met Lu Caixia, she heard people say that Lu Caixia was a tigress who would bite anyone she caught without any regrets. Later, when they got to know each other, she realized that this person couldn't be more kind-hearted. She would definitely help in any way she could. When her husband broke his leg, she was the first one to bring money and asked him to send him to the hospital for treatment to make sure he didn't get any illness. If he didn't have money, he could borrow from her and pay it back when he had it.
The money she had was reserved for her son to marry.
She is kind-hearted and doesn't care about trivial matters, but she will never tolerate anyone wanting her to suffer any loss. She is a person who cannot tolerate any sand in her eyes. When getting along with others, she says what she means and doesn't beat around the bush.
"You're right, it's definitely sour grapes!"
"I think so!"
…
Qin Ling's ears were a little red. When Tian Cai's breath sprayed on the side of his neck, he felt like being poured with boiling water. The skin on that area instantly became hot, and the arm that had just embraced Tian Cai was also faintly hot.
I'm afraid I can wrap my arm around her waist with just one arm.
It’s so thin.
After a long while, he felt the heat on his face subsided a little, and then he secretly glanced at Tian Cai, only to see the girl looking out the window with a strange expression on her face. Her eyes were obviously unfocused, and he didn't know what she was thinking.
Qin Ling's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Tian Cai was thinking the same thing as him. He wanted to explain, but with so many people in the car, he didn't know how to say it. For a moment, he felt anxious and worried.
I finally made it to the commune, and as soon as the bus stopped, I hurriedly followed the crowded people to get off the bus.
Because of the awkward situation in the car, Qin Ling didn't dare to get close to Tian Cai anymore, and just walked two meters away from her. The two of them first went to ask the gatekeeper and learned that the donkey cart of Beishan Brigade had been gone for a while, so they could only walk back slowly on foot.
Tian Cai didn't say anything. She was still thinking about what she had just heard. For some reason, she quite liked the aunt who spoke for her. Her personality was quite to her liking. However, it was just liking. She was not interested in being someone else's daughter-in-law, even if her son was as handsome as Xiao Zhan.
Qin Ling became more and more uneasy when he saw Tian Cai remained silent. He hesitated for a while and finally decided to take this opportunity to confess his feelings. If it worked out, that would be great. If not, he would just pretend that nothing had been said and let things go on as they were.
"Tian Cai."
Tian Cai looked up at him. This man seldom called her name, and when she heard it suddenly, she felt a little strange in her heart.
"I--"
"Doctor Oda, you guys didn't catch the bus either?"
A familiar voice came from a distance. Tian Cai turned his head and saw two female educated youth from Qingshan Village. The one with a round face in front was called Yao Meili, and he didn't recognize the one behind.
Tian Cai waved at them, then turned to look at Qin Ling, "What do you want to say?"
Qin Ling had already restrained the expression on his face at this moment, "Nothing."
Tian Cai glanced at him again, feeling that he was a little unhappy. However, now was not the time to speak. She turned to look at the two people coming over and said with a smile, "It seems that we are connected by the same fate!"
Yao Meili has a good personality. She had a fever and couldn't get up before, and it happened that Tian Cai went to Qingshan Village to see Old Man Shi for a follow-up visit. After she knew about it, she took the initiative to go over to see the girl, gave her an acupuncture and left her some medicine. Seeing that she was delirious with fever, Tian Cai didn't even charge her for the medicine. After the girl recovered, he sent her to the village.
"I saw you on the bus just now, but we were standing at the back, and with so many people between us, I didn't feel comfortable calling you," Yao Meili said, pointing to the female educated youth next to her and introducing her to Tian Cai, "This is our new educated youth, Jiang Xin. She came with the three others from your village later. You probably haven't seen her yet."
After introducing the female educated youth, Yao Meili introduced Tian Cai to Jiang Xin. She gave a thumbs-up and said with admiration, "This is our commune's famous Doctor Xiao Tian. Her medical skills are amazing. If you have a headache or fever in the future, you don't have to go to the county. Just go to Kaoshan Village to find her. I guarantee her medicine will cure you. I can tell you that it works!"
"You're not exaggerating like that. You just caught a cold and had a fever. It wasn't a serious illness."
The group walked back, talking and laughing. Qin Ling lagged behind a little and didn't say a word. However, Jiang Xin secretly glanced back several times.
They didn't separate until they reached the fork in the road leading to the Youth League Home. Tian Cai and Qin Ling continued to go to Kaoshan Village.
After the man disappeared, Jiang Xin asked curiously, "Who was that man behind us? Why is he following Doctor Tian?"
"I think his last name is Qin, but I don't know his first name," Yao Meili said. She was also surprised by Qin Ling's face when she first saw him. She hadn't expected someone so good-looking in such a remote place, no less attractive than the educated youth from the city. "He looks quite spirited, doesn't he? I tell you, if I hadn't been so steadfast in my revolutionary beliefs, I would have been drawn to him."
"It's not that exaggerated. He's just a little better than ordinary people. You haven't seen the educated youth who came with me over there. He is so gentle and refined, and looks different from those country people." Jiang Xin originally thought that the man was quite handsome, but after being praised by Yao Meili, she didn't think he was that good anymore.
Yao Meili was startled when she heard this and quickly looked around. Seeing that no one was around, she whispered, "Don't say that in the village. If someone hears it, they might think you look down on fellow farmers. Then you have a problem with your thinking!"
Jiang Xin was also shocked to realize what a mistake she had made, and broke out in a cold sweat. She was not in the mood to discuss who was more energetic, and hurriedly ran back to the Youth League Home with Yao Meili.
