After that day, Tian Guo always wanted to wait for an opportunity to say to Niu Huanran in person, "Thank you." ”

However, after waiting for a week, she didn't see him in the alley. One day, when I asked the tadpole after work, I learned that Niu Huanran had been sent to Anshan by the factory to study, and it was estimated that he would not be able to come back until May.

In April, the weather in the capital was warm, and after a few spring rains, the temperature at night finally rose to seven or eight degrees, and my grandmother's rheumatism was much better, so she told Tian Guo to have time to remove the coal stove.

Tian Guo responded with a mouthful, but he was worried in his heart, although he had seen this kind of small stove during filming, he had never dismantled it himself. When she was born, her family had already moved to a building with heating. After being reborn in time, it took more than a month, but it was still unfamiliar, and I felt that dismantling the furnace was similar to dismantling the bomb, for fear that which link was not done correctly and it was broken.

She needed a master, and after thinking about it, Tian Guo ran next door to find Liu Changjiang.

Changjiang and Tian Guo are the same age, and the two are in the same elementary school, but Tian Guo dropped out of school early, while Changjiang graduated from junior high school. After graduating, he was assigned to a light bulb factory.

When Tian Guo knocked on the door, Changjiang was lying on the bed listening to cross talk, Liu Baorui's "Huang Banxian". Hearing Tian Guo shouting to himself, he was very surprised. Although the two families are separated by a wall, since childhood, Tian Guo has never taken the initiative to talk to him. In Liu Changjiang's eyes, Tian Guo is quite arrogant and likes to do some outrageous things, but Changjiang feels that he doesn't hate her.

On the contrary, I also feel that Tianguo is different.

Of course, he never mentioned this idea to anyone, for fear of being ridiculed for being unorthodox.

"Hey! That's it, don't worry, it's on me! Hearing the intention of Tian Guo, Changjiang put on a coat from the house and ran out. In fact, dismantling the stove is very simple, you stand on the side and watch first, and I will teach you step by step. ”

It seemed that men were naturally good at dismantling and assembling things, and Changjiang kicked on his chair and carefully removed the chimney first.

"From the top down." He said as he dismantled it.

The chimney was divided into several sections, and after a winter it was covered with dust and oil stains, and the field fruit was below, but the Yangtze River waved his hand and said: 'You dodge away first, the chimney is torn off in whole sections, and when you put it on the ground, you can separate it one by one, and then you can clean it.' By the way, do you have organic oil at home? ”

"Engine oil?" Tian Guo was stunned.

At this time, my grandmother shouted in the house, "There is organic oil at home, next to the sewing machine." ”

"That's good." Changjiang jumped off the chair, then squatted on the ground and began to help Tian Guo disassemble the chimney, "Don't be in a hurry when dismantling this thing, move a little softer and slower, wipe it with engine oil after cleaning, and when you put it away, it is best to wrap it in newspaper, you think, you don't need it for a year, in case you bump it, it's not easy to do, and it's troublesome to fall into the ground." You have to clean it again before using it. ”

In the courtyard, Tian Guo and the Yangtze River were busy, and outside the courtyard, Yang Xiaohong was standing on the opposite side of the alley with melon seeds and squinting at them. At this time, she seemed to have a horn in her hand, and then shouted to the full alley, "Come and see, Mi Tianguo and Liu Changjiang are going together!" ”

She already knew she wasn't a fuel-efficient lamp!

Like her mother, who died early, she was born to hook up with men.

It just so happened that when the girl came back from going to the toilet, Yang Xiaohong grabbed her, raised her chin into the yard, and pretended to be mysterious: "Hey, what are you doing with them?" ”

Yadan glanced at the yard, because she was a neighbor, so she knew what was going on, and smiled at Yang Xiaohong and said, "Sister Tian Guo won't dismantle the stove, let Brother Changjiang help." ”

Since the relationship improved, Yadan called "sister" when she met Tian Guo.

Now the two have a good relationship, and they went to Longfu Building together last weekend. After all, he lives in a courtyard, and he is quite old, and after the initial strange period, Yadan is still closer to Tian Guo from the heart.

What's more, Yadan is not a child, she can see if this person is good or not.

Seeing that she didn't mean to laugh at Tian Guo, Yang Xiaohong snorted coldly and said, "Yo, when did you start caring about her sister?" ”

"She's older than me, and she's supposed to be my sister." Yadan said.

"I heard that the two of you are close now? Why, what good did she give you. That day, Yang Xiaohong saw Tian Guo and Yadan go out of the alley together, she was still wondering at the time, but now she understands, dare to love Tian Guo not only buys a man's heart, but also a little girl's heart is also good, phew! Look at her spirited!

Hearing Yang Xiaohong's strange emphasis, the girl only felt bad, she didn't want to offend Yang Xiaohong, but she didn't want to say that Tianguo was not good. He stood in place and snorted for a while before he said, "Sister Hong, there are still a bunch of clothes at home that have not been washed, so I will leave first." As soon as he took two steps, Yang Xiaohong spit out the melon seed skin in his mouth behind him, and said in a weird manner: "Yadan, you are also eighteen this year, if you want to get a partner to learn more from your Sister Tian Guo, see how she submisses a man without moving." ”

The girl blushed and ran into the yard.

In late spring, the weather is getting hotter day by day.

At the end of April, Tian Guo suddenly received an assignment, and the store arranged for her and Zhang Yang to work on the farm in Mentougou Zaozhuang for two weeks.

This kind of "rural work" occurs every year, and most of the people who arrange it are young workers and college students who have just entered the factory to work. The purpose is to let everyone understand the difficulties of the farmer's uncle, and understand how the grain and melons and fruits grow from the land.

"I guess I'll feed the pigs." Hearing that he was also sent to work in the countryside, Zhang Yang complained unhappily to a senior brother beside him. Of course he didn't want to go, and after receiving the order, he went to find Dong Guihua-

"Auntie, I don't want to go."

"It's not a question of whether you want to or not, it's a matter of having to go, it's a mission, you know?" Dong Guihua is not confused in major matters. Usually the store lets Zhang Yang steal a little lazy, but this kind of activity is arranged by the superiors. It is a glorious thing, and Zhang Yang must go.

"But—"

"No, but!" Dong Guihua had a stern face, interrupting Zhang Yang's complaints, "Tell you the truth, you also have a score for going to the countryside to work, and only when you are qualified can your current job become a regular, what's the matter, you don't want to work in a barbershop?" ”

Since this is the case, what else does Zhang Yang say?

I have to go too.

Senior brother had already gone to the countryside to work once last year, washed his hands by the pool, and said to Zhang Yang: "Not only do you have to feed pigs, but you also have to feed ducks, chickens, and geese." ”

Big goose? Zhang Yang has never seen a live goose.

"The big goose's beak will screw people, you have to stay away from them, fortunately, Tian Guo will go with you, anyway, you two are also a unit, and you have a care for each other, not to mention anything else, the buttons of your clothes have fallen off, at least Tian Guo can help you sew."

Zhang Yang's face was hot, he always felt that his senior brother had something to say, so he rubbed his hands vigorously, and the place where Tian Guo was injured by Tian Guo at the bridge of his nose hurt for a while, he pursed his lips and muttered: "Look at her, she doesn't look like a woman from a good family, I guess she can't eat anything, and she also sews clothes?" It's good not to sew her herself in, I can't afford her. ”

On the weekend, Tian Guo prepared for a day at home, she had never lived in the real countryside, although she had been looking forward to the opportunity to appear in rural dramas when she was an actor before her rebirth, but because her appearance was not simple enough, she had never had a chance with the countryside, and now she can really go to the countryside to live, she is both excited and a little at a loss.

"Grandma, do I need to bring a thick coat?"

In addition to preparing some toiletries and a change of clothes in the package, Tian Guo also went to the grocery store to buy two cans of canned tempeh fish and a few bags of mustard vegetables in case of emergency.

"It's cold at night in the countryside, so it's okay to bring an extra thick dress." Grandma looked at the items prepared in the Tianguo package, the color and style of the clothes were very low-key, she nodded reassuringly, her eyes fell on the bags of mustard again, and said worriedly: "I don't want to buy a few more bags of mustard for dinner, in case the food doesn't fit, the mustard with the nest head can also make up for a meal." ”

"No need, these bags should be enough, I heard my sister say, going to the countryside to work is basically to eat wotou, I don't like to eat wotou, you know." Tian Guo said with a smile.

"I know what's the use, it's not like I'm cooking for you." Grandma said angrily, "Working in the field is not as good as doing hair for people in the store, and you can exhaust you little girls with fine skin and tender flesh to death in half a day, not to mention a nest, that is, you can eat the black membrane made of two sorghum." Listen to me, go to the grocery store tomorrow and buy a few more ham sausages, and I'll give you the money. ”

As soon as it was dawn early on Monday morning, Tian Guo rushed to the Liuliqiao long-distance bus station with his bags on his back and a plastic net in his left hand.

Because he was going to leave for half a month, Tian Guo was not worried that his grandmother was at home alone, so he specially told Liu Changjiang before leaving, asking him to help take care of it.

"Thank you, Brother Liu, I'll invite you to dinner when you come back."

Changjiang waved his hand: "You're welcome Tianguo, you will work in the countryside in a down-to-earth manner, and grandma will take care of you with me." ”

Of course, Tian Guo was relieved, and happily walked out of the hospital.

There are eight districts in the city, and each district has a different place to work in the countryside.

In the 80s, there was no traffic jam on the road, and Tian Guo rushed to the long-distance bus station in half an hour, and many young people had gathered in the small square.

Everyone was carrying large bags and small bags, with excited expressions on their faces, which did not look like going to the countryside to work, but like a spring outing. Groups of three or five gathered together, giggling.

Tian Guo searched around the crowd, and finally found Zhang Yang, who was holding the package alone and sweeping his eyebrows on a long chair in the corner.

"Why are you sitting here?" Tian Guo walked over, threw the package into the chair, and sat down to rest.

After a while, they were going to take a bus to Mentougou, and the seats were limited, so they took the opportunity to hurry up and rest. Otherwise, you will have to stand all morning to reach your destination.

Zhang Yang didn't say anything at first, his little face was indignant, which was very inconsistent with the happy and noisy atmosphere around him, until Tian Guo asked him again, and he replied reluctantly: "I don't like to stand over there, it's too noisy." ”

It's not a good little sundere.

Although the relationship between the two is not very good, to be honest, Tian Guo pities Zhang Yang in his heart, there is no way, who called her a senior rotten girl, and Zhang Yang has a natural little face.

"Huh? Didn't you bring a washbasin? ”

Everyone else brought two or three packages, but Zhang Yang only brought one package, although it looked bulging, Tian Guo didn't see any traces of the basin.

"Have you forgotten?" Tian Guo asked again.
