The man's family was not well off, but they gave him a lot of betrothal gifts, and it was because of this money that they helped my cousin get married.
Now, her two cousins are still single and have set their sights on her, which makes Su Tao speechless.
"Let's not get angry. You're in the countryside anyway, and she can't make decisions for you. So, what do you think? Did Sun Zhiqing mention this to you?"
Su Tao was suddenly asked and curled her lips: "I didn't mention it. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known. I think we can still get along."
"Then let's get along a little longer. Anyway, we don't have time to think about this this year."
"Lanlan, speaking of this, I remembered something. Today I heard the team leader say that the autumn harvest will start the day after tomorrow. This time it's nearly half a month later than in previous years. I also heard that the brigade next door will start even later. But by then the weather will have started to get cold. If we don't hurry, the cabbages and radishes will freeze in the fields."
Su Tao was somewhat happy when she talked about this. Everyone had been worried about the food problem throughout the year, but fortunately it has been solved now. Looking at the golden crops in the fields, they knew that this year's harvest would not be much worse than in previous years.
At least everyone has enough food, and maybe there will be some left over to send back to help their families.
Song Tanglan thought about it and realized that this year's autumn harvest was indeed much later than last year, so he nodded and said, "It's okay. It's been delayed for half a month, so there should be plenty of time. Oh, and there are also benefits to the delay. It won't be so hot. Last year's autumn harvest made me very hot."
"Hahaha, I've gotten a lot darker. Look, my skin has turned wheat-colored now. Lanlan, why can't you get a tan?"
After Su Tao finished speaking, she stretched out her arm next to hers and compared it. The comparison made her feel a little depressed.
Song Tanglan looked at her little action and wanted to laugh, but she also did not forget to comfort her.
"My skin isn't as white as it used to be. It's just that you guys darken so quickly, so it's not obvious in comparison. You don't know how much I spend to keep my skin white."
Song Tanglan thought of the pile of empty bottles in the space, such as pearl cream, vanishing cream, and clam oil. These were not cheap.
However, she was willing to spend money for the sake of beauty. Moreover, she was willing to spend more money rather than have dry and sallow skin like other educated youth.
"So I spent a lot of money too. I bought something every time you did. Otherwise, I would have ended up like those female educated youths in the Youth House."
When Su Tao said this, she thought of the sun spots on Tian Yulan's face. She cried for a long time because of this. Her crying was really heartbreaking, and she felt creepy just listening to it.
"So we've made some progress for now. Oh, and my younger brother sent me some whitening products he made himself a while ago. I'll give you some later. They're all made with Chinese medicine. He said they're very effective as a facial mask."
Song Tanglan thought about the time when her younger brother was finally released. Song Tangzi was so happy that he wrote letters to his family and also sent various medicines he had made during this period, including hemostatics, scar removers, whitening medicines, frostbite medicines, sleeping pills and anti-inflammatory wines.
These are the results of Song Tangzi's study and production over the past year.
Thinking about how they were surprised for a long time when their second brother-in-law brought back the package, they all looked speechless when they saw the pile of medicines inside.
"Really? Xiaozi has only studied for a year and she's already so good that she can even make products that whiten your skin."
Song Tanglan thought of the pile of powder and said tactfully, "I tried it and I think the effect is okay, but it's a bit crude. If you don't mind, you can try it."
"I don't mind. Tell me how to use it later. I'll try it when I get home. If it works well, I can trade it with the female educated youth for some goodies and earn some pocket money for Xiaozi."
When Su Tao said this, she was already imagining that her skin would be fair and tender in the future. The educated youths in the Youth Farm would all come to curry favor with her and ask her for the secret of skin care. When she thought of that scene, she couldn't help but giggle.
Song Tanglan couldn't bear to watch her friend suddenly fall ill. "Let's wait and see if it works! This is his first time, so no one knows how effective it will be."
"It's okay, I believe Xiaozi." Su Tao thought about how young he was, yet he took them up the mountain to find herbs to exchange for money. He had such talent at such a young age, and she believed he had the ability.
At this time, Song Tangzi, whom she trusted, sneezed violently in the deep mountains.
Seeing him like this, his teacher looked at him with disdain. "You've only been on the mountain for a few days and you've caught a cold. Your health is too poor. You need to practice more when you get back."
"Teacher, I don't have a cold, my nose just itched and I sneezed suddenly!" Song Tangzi didn't want to be trained any more, so he quickly explained himself.
Since half a month ago, his teacher told him to go up the mountain to look for medicine, he took enough dry food with him.
They have been in the mountains for more than half a month now, and during this time Song Tangzi has seen many medicinal herbs that he has never seen before.
He was also very lucky to dig up two 50-year-old ginsengs. When his teachers and senior brothers knew about his harvest, they were extremely envious.
They often come to this mountain, but have never encountered ginseng. This kid found two on his first visit. How could they not be envious?
Fortunately, none of them were the kind of people who would take advantage of the child. He had discovered it, so it belonged to him. They had originally gone up the mountain just to learn more about the herbs and their growing environment, not because of any mission.
