"Something happened." Xing Yifei rubbed his thumb and index finger together and walked to a deserted corner.
Tian Xiaolan immediately understood what he was doing, and quickly walked over and spread out her hands, "Give it to me."
Xing Yifei: "Okay."
Tian Xiaolan saw him putting his hands into his trouser pockets and said beside him, "Hurry up, I have something else to do."
"Give."
Looking at the small stack of ten-yuan bills in his hand, which was unique to this era, the two men with sweat towels covering their heads took it and counted it. There were actually a hundred of them.
"Thank you. I said I would give you some. Here they are." She took out two from the box and handed them to him with a smile.
Xing Yifei took the money and chatted with her, "It's not a big deal. Remember to call me next time if something like this happens."
"Why are you here to invigilate the exam?" Tian Xiaolan was so happy after getting the money that she didn't forget to ask the questions in her mind.
"I went to the bureau to collect my bonus. Someone appreciated me and asked me to be the invigilator." Xing Yifei raised the corner of his mouth and took out a small square from his shirt pocket. He proudly opened it to show her that it was a paper certificate.
"Okay, what about those kidnapping gangs?" Tian Xiaolan took a look and was a little worried that they would come out to retaliate.
"Don't worry, they can't get out, and they'll have to eat peanuts soon." Xing Yifei told her the news he had heard and asked curiously, "What are you going to do with the money?"
Tian Xiaolan had already put the money in her pocket and told him her plan as they walked: "I plan to grow mushrooms."
Tian Xiaolan occasionally found a few lines of text in the corner of a newspaper Li Weiguo received at the scrap yard. It said: "I'm conducting research on mushrooms. They're delicious. Due to lack of funds, I'm seeking sponsorship. Thank you very much!" The inscription included his name and phone number. Tian Xiaolan saved it, sent him a letter explaining her purpose, and waited for a reply.
Xing Yifei was puzzled: "Mushroom?"
"I didn't see it when I went to the market before, which means there is still a market for it." Tian Xiaolan looked at him seriously and said.
Seeing that she was so open about it, Xing Yifei also gave her some advice at the right time: "Just because you didn't see them at the market doesn't mean they aren't there in the village. There are also some wild mushrooms in the mountains, and people usually eat them themselves." After being here for so long, she had almost figured out the terrain.
On the other side, Tian Xiaolan said: "This mushroom is different from that one, you didn't see it." With her current money, if she wants to do research by herself, she not only has to spend money, but also has to buy some materials first, which is not enough. The quickest way is to use his research first, and then do research later when she has funds.
"Okay, just tell me if you need any help." Xing Yifei looked straight into her eyes, which were dark with a hint of yellow, and bright, and turned his head away from her.
"Of course." Although Tian Xiaolan didn't know why he said this to her, she felt more confident with his words.
After the exam, there was nothing to do, so the two of them walked home, not caring about the strange looks from people around them, and talked calmly.
Xing Yifei asked: "Where are you going now?"
"Walk around." After so many days here, she still hasn't figured out the terrain. Walking on the muddy path, she sees the rice fields bent by the weight of the golden ears of rice, and a few grasshoppers jumping on the rice leaves, forming a lively picture. This scene is an experience she cannot get in front of the TV.
At the Tian family, it was dinner time. They were going home from work, and the neighbors were squatting on the ground eating with their bowls. Wang Ping saw Niu Er's wife, who always loved to gossip, telling Niu Er what she saw at the market with a beaming face.
