She rubbed her body thoroughly and washed her hair clean. Tian Cai wiped herself clean and came out to change her clothes. She felt refreshed all over. She wrapped her hair with cotton cloth and poured the water in the bathtub into the gutter at the door.
Tian Cai went back to the house and took out the pig pancreas cream she had made earlier to wipe her face. After all, she had never made this before, and half of it was wasted the first time. She made a big box with the rest and added dew to it. Every time she applied it on her face, it would feel moisturized. Even though she went out every day, her face didn't show any signs of chapped skin. A few days ago, Luo Xiuyan came over and scooped some up.
Before wiping it, Tian Cai touched her face with her hand, and then she was stunned. She couldn't believe it and touched the same place again.
The scar on my face has become smaller!
The wound originally ran from the cheekbone to the corner of the mouth. Later, the scab fell off and the shallower areas healed flat again. The raised scar was only about three centimeters long.
Which girl doesn't love beauty? Even though Tian Cai seldom looks in the mirror, she can't help but rub this scar a few more times every time she washes her face. She knows its shape clearly.
She has been using the scar removal cream that Cai Ping left behind, and she also added dew to it. The small bottle has been used up after a few months, and the best effect is that the scar on her face has become smaller and the color is closer to her natural skin tone. She doesn't know how many more bottles she will need to make it disappear completely.
But she just noticed that the scar has gotten smaller! You know, she touches something every day, so any slight change is very noticeable!
Tian Cai hurried into the house and took out the small mirror left by Cai Ping. He stood in the yard and looked at his face in the mirror.
It's really gotten smaller! The scar is now only two centimeters long, and the bulge has subsided a lot! And she doesn't know if it's her imagination, but the skin elsewhere seems to have become a little whiter too.
It’s really unexpected!
Tian Cai didn't even bother to cook, and started to recall what he had done in the past few days in the yard. Finally, his target was set on the drop of upgraded dew he drank last night.
After her excitement subsided, she began to wonder whether the people chasing Cai Ping knew about this thing.
In the past, when Cai Ping was making medicine, the original owner would often help him. The two had lived together for so many years, and the white beads had always been hanging around Cai Ping's neck and had never been taken off. Many times, even the water for making the medicine pills was fetched by the original owner. In other words, Cai Ping himself might not have known that the white beads would recognize their owner when stained with blood.
If Cai Ping didn't know, would the people chasing her not know either? After all, the person behind the scenes had chased Cai Ping and demanded that she take back everything she had.
Tian Cai suspected that this person must have known from some channel that Cai Ping had a rare treasure, but he didn't know its specific appearance or usage and effect.
Now that the strange treasure has recognized its master and disappeared, as long as Tian Cai does not reveal her relationship with Cai Ping, no one will find her.
In this way, she is relatively safer and no longer has to be cautious every day. Although the enemy is still unknown, it is not so easy for her to be exposed.
Tian Cai hummed a song as he slowly walked to the kitchen. He looked at the remaining ingredients in the basket and felt that he needed to raise a chicken next year, otherwise eating eggs would become a problem.
Up to now, she has only eaten pheasant eggs, and she has not accepted any gifts of thanks given by people for their medical treatment. Eggs are too precious at that time, and only the elderly, children and people in confinement can eat them. Most people in the village rely on saving them to exchange for things.
The Chicken Butt Bank is not called that for nothing.
After entering the twelfth lunar month, there were two heavy snowfalls in succession. The heaviest one lasted for a whole day and a night. The snow outside was above the calves when stepped on.
Tian Cai had previously asked Carpenter Chen to take a thin wooden board and nail it to a wooden stick of appropriate thickness to make the simplest snow shovel. As soon as the snow stopped, she used the snow shovel to clear a path in her yard, connecting the kitchen, main room, front door and backyard toilet. After clearing the path, she continued to clean other places, pushed all the snow to both sides of the gate, and cut the sides flat to make it look very neat.
After clearing the yard, Xue Tiancai went outside. As soon as he came out, he saw Zhang Defa wearing a dog-skin hat and walking towards him with difficulty. He was holding a basin in his hand and banging it as he walked, asking the idle people in the house to come out to clear the snow.
Further over here is Tian Cai's house. Seeing that she had come out, Zhang Defa waved to her and turned towards the village.
I could hear a commotion coming from the Youth League compound from a distance. When I got closer, I realized that several educated youth from the south had never seen such heavy snow and were making a fuss outside.
A few young people forgot about the unpleasantness they had over dinner a while ago and started fighting around the yard. Qiu Xiaohuan's family was from Beijing, so seeing snow was not surprising, so she and Yan Xudong did not join in.
Qiu Xiaohuan looked at them frolicking in the snow as if they were idiots, muttering softly, "Are they all sick? A bunch of old-fashioned people."
"Bang" a snowball hit her right on the face, and the snow splashed directly into Qiu Xiaohuan's collar.
"Ah!" She screamed from the cold and hurriedly bent down to scrape the snow out of her collar, but a lot of it melted as soon as it touched her warm skin. Qiu Xiaohuan only felt a chill around her neck. "Niu Feifei, are you sick?"
Niu Feifei was right next to Qiu Xiaohuan just now. When she heard her scolding them, she threw a snowball at her. However, she would not admit that she did it on purpose. So she imitated He Yuzhen's usual way of speaking, "Oh, I'm sorry, Xiaohuan, I didn't mean to. I was having so much fun that I didn't see you. Are you okay?"
Yan Xudong happened to look over at this moment. Qiu Xiaohuan held back the curse she was about to say, but her expression was still not adjusted, and she looked very strange. "I, I'm fine, just be careful next time."
He said the last few words with gritted teeth, and couldn't help but join the snowball fight, hitting Niu Feifei's collar repeatedly.
When Zhang Defa arrived, he saw a group of educated youth with snow on their hair and clothes. There was a male educated youth rolling on the ground. There seemed to be two female educated youth there, one pressing on the other, with even their faces covered with snow, so it was impossible to tell which two they were.
"Pack up, put on more clothes, wear hats and gloves and go out to clear the snow. Gather at the brigade headquarters later." Zhang Defa didn't care how they played in the yard, as long as it didn't delay their work.
Tian Cai cleared the snow in front of his house, went home to drink some water, put on his hat, gloves and other equipment, and went back to the brigade headquarters to join the snow-clearing army according to the captain's assignment.
The snow on the road was cleared to both sides. A group of people worked hard. They were so hot that they couldn't wear their hats and gloves. It was almost noon before they cleared all the main roads in the village. In the afternoon, they had to clear the main road from Kaoshan Village to Qingshan Village. Then people from the two villages would meet up and continue to clear the road to the commune. This is the process every year.
Tian Cai worked for another half an afternoon, her feet almost frozen. Later, Zhang Defa saw that it was enough time and let the female comrade go back first.
