It gets dark quickly in October. In just a short while, the remaining Golden Crow has completely set in the west.
The dim twilight enveloped Tian Mi's face, adding a touch of alienation to her sweet and soft features. She said nothing, but raised the corners of her eyes and stared at the man with interest.
Tian Changqing had something to hide. Being stared at like that, he moved his feet uncomfortably: "What...what's wrong?"
Tian Mi curled her lips. She had a very pleasing appearance just like her original self, pretty but not aggressive. Her whole person was sweet, and this smile made people feel soft in their hearts.
Seeing this, Tian Changqing felt relieved and started laughing too.
Unexpectedly, before the smile spread to the eyes, I heard my second sister say coldly: "Liu Xiangdong is quite willing to extend his hand. What benefits did he promise you?"
"How do you know? I mean, who Liu Xiangdong? I don't know him." The man looked annoyed and wanted to bite his tongue. He denied it in a hurry.
I was wondering why my second sister seemed to have become smarter.
"Stupid!" Tian Mi raised the corner of her mouth in disdain. She was still thinking about the fish soup and was in no mood to waste time with her cheap brother, so she left quickly with her younger brother.
Tian Changqing was left alone, feeling angry and annoyed. He wanted to catch up with him and argue with him again, but he thought of the benefits Liu Xiangdong had promised him, so he endured it.
Not in a hurry.
We have to figure out a good solution.
There are more important things waiting at hand.
A few days ago, he went to the county town with some buddies and saw a watch in the supply and marketing cooperative there. That thing was very stylish, and the most important thing was to coax the watch from his grandparents.
By then, he will wear a watch, ride a bicycle, and put a few pens in his shirt pocket, and he will certainly be no worse than the cadres in the county town.
As for the second sister
Humph, that little girl will get married sooner or later, so he will definitely take advantage of the benefits Liu Xiangdong promised.
There is no electricity in Chaoyang Village, so every household goes to bed early at night.
After being here for half a month, Tian Mi has changed from a night owl to a good kid who goes to bed early and gets up early.
After washing up and lying on the bed in the evening, I was listening to my fourth sister chattering about interesting things on campus when the door was pushed open.
Luan Hongmei placed the kerosene lamp on the table and took out a few bills from her pocket and handed them to her second daughter.
"What?" Tian Mi raised his hand to take it.
"Cloth coupons. There will be a big fair in two days. The supply and marketing society will have new goods. You should go early and choose two pieces of good fabric to make a nice dress." As she said this, Luan Hongmei opened her handkerchief with some pain in her heart and took out a few dollars from it and handed it to her daughter.
"Mom, I want new clothes too." The fourth daughter, Tian Pandi, sat up and stretched out her hand to her mother expectantly.
Sanya Lai Di pinched the corner of her clothes awkwardly. Although she didn't dare to say it directly, there was desire in her eyes. She was 16 years old and at the age when she loved beauty, but she didn't even have a nice piece of clothing. All of them were picked up from her older sisters.
"What the hell do you want? I think you deserve a beating." Except for her eldest son, Luan Hongmei has always believed that a good beating will produce a filial son. She raised her hand and was about to slap the fourth girl.
Tian Pandi dodged flexibly, but still yelled, "Why do you only buy it for my second sister? My third sister and I want some too."
"Can you compare with your second sister? She's going to visit her husband's family, how can she do without decent clothes?" After saying this, Luan Hongmei looked at her second daughter again and happily reminded her: "Go early on the day of the big market. Mom asked someone to ask around. There's bright red material recently. You can make a red coat then. Didn't your eldest sister send you a pair of military pants last time? When she dresses up like that for the visit, I guarantee that my daughter's appearance will be recognized at first sight."
Tian Mi twitched his lips. Red top, green pants, what kind of aesthetic is this
Sing Northeastern Errenzhuan for people to see
"I'm talking to you, why are you in a daze?" Seeing that her daughter's expression was not right, Luan Hongmei raised her hand and pushed her.
Tian Mi came back to his senses and nodded randomly: "Got it."
"I'm glad to know that. You should also pay attention to it. You're already twenty years old. If you don't settle down, people in the village will gossip about you. I think that young man named Liu is not bad." Luan Hongmei chattered on and on, sitting down on the bed, as if she was going to have a long talk.
"Mom, is the kerosene lamp getting smaller?" Tian Mi reminded.
As soon as these words came out, Luan Hongmei jumped up immediately, and walked out carefully holding the kerosene lamp: "I won't talk to you anymore. Mom will go back first." This thing consumes a lot of oil, and kerosene is very expensive. You need a ticket when you buy it. You can't be so careless.
"Sister, you are really smart." Tian Pandi was very clever. She could tell that her second sister was doing it on purpose. However, "Sister, are you really going to get married? My eldest brother is already 26 and still hasn't married. You are only 20. What's the rush?"
There was no way to respond to this, because Tian Mi herself did not agree with the popular idea that it would be difficult for a woman to get married if she missed her blooming period. How could she explain it to her sisters
Deep down, she doesn't want to get married at all.
But in this world, you need proof to go out, you can't run away. If you don't get married, she will be drowned by spit. Tian Mi has always been a person who knows the times and doesn't think she has the ability to change the environment.
Going to the market might be a good choice. At least you can meet some people when you are looking for a husband.
But with Liu Xiangdong eyeing her covetously, her choices were greatly narrowed.
Thinking of this, Tian Mi turned over again in annoyance.
I was just an ordinary person in my previous life. The only thing that was unusual about me was probably that I had a strong heart that loved extreme sports
Or, you can try to bring down that scumbag father and son
But now she didn't even know who was behind the Liu family, so how should she act
Deliberately framing them, stuffing some banned books into their homes, and then reporting them was something that even Tian Mi, who grew up under the red flag, could not do.
After much thought, the solution is to find a way to collect solid evidence of the Liu family's crimes. Although Tian Mi did not read the book carefully, it was enough for him to know that the father and son of the Liu family had dirty hands.
I just hope that there will be enough time. After making some rough plans, Tian Mi patted her fourth sister who was waiting for her answer and sighed softly: "Go to sleep."
".oh."
Go to the market.
In later times when Tian Mi lived, this traditional custom was still preserved in some places.
She had never been there, but her original body had memories of having had the experience a few times.
On that day, Tian Mi got up before 4 a.m.
The house was still quiet. She tiptoed out of the house, went to the kitchen, carried a large wooden barrel, and headed straight for Chaoyang River.
It's November now.
The Cold Dew and Frost Descent have passed, and the temperature has dropped sharply these days.
Tian Mi, wrapped in the tattered coat that her father wore when he worked, ran to the Chaoyang River in the dim morning light in just a few minutes.
Along the way, there was no sound except for a few dogs barking.
Standing by the river, she looked around again, and after making sure that there was really no one around, she immediately took off her coat and trousers, leaving only a short-sleeved shirt and knee-length pants.
The temperature in the early morning of early winter was very unfriendly, only about five degrees Celsius. In just the few seconds of putting down the clothes, Tian Mi had already gotten goose bumps all over her body and her hair stood up.
Fearing that she would catch a cold, she didn't dare to waste any more time. She rubbed her arms, took off her shoes and socks, and jumped nimbly. With a "splash", she fell into the water.
The moment he entered the water, Tian Mi came alive immediately, smiled, and disappeared under the water surface after a few flicks of his tail, just like a fish entering the water.
Lou Luhui pinched his brows and said, "Who commits suicide with a wooden barrel? This girl is obviously here to catch fish." Having said that, the man's narrow and deep phoenix eyes were still fixed on the movements on the lake.
After completing the mission this time, Lou Luhui had plenty of time, so he called his leader and got a vacation. He took a ride on a boat and went to visit his old squad leader with his comrades.
But I didn't expect that after saying goodbye to the boat owner and going ashore to rest for a while, I heard footsteps.
Perhaps it was the aftereffect of the mission. By the time they reacted, the two men in military uniforms had already hidden themselves like thieves.
Later, worried that they would suddenly appear and scare people, thinking they were ghosts or something, the two men, who were about 1.9 meters tall on average, continued to curl up and hide.
"No!" After a while, the river was still calm, which had exceeded the normal time a human could hold their breath. Lou Luhui frowned his inky eyebrows, and his figure flashed like a cheetah. He unbuckled his belt and took off his clothes while running quickly to the river.
However, just as he loosened his belt and unbuttoned his coat to take it off, there was a sudden movement on the river surface.
With a "plop" sound, the delicate and beautiful girl broke out of the water.
The sun happened to rise at this time, and the tip of the warm orange-red sun shone obliquely on the fair face of the girl in the water, casting a hazy halo on her.
Red lips and fair face, tender, sweet and soft.
Even the water droplets dancing around her were made more translucent by the girl's beauty.
Lotus emerging from the water!
Lou Luhui, who looked at the person carefully after just a quick glance, suddenly had these four words popping up in his mind.
Then, for some unknown reason, the man picked up the belt on the ground and rushed back to the back of the hill in the blink of an eye. It only took a few breaths of time.
Lou Luhui not only lay down himself, but also pressed down his comrade who was looking at him, without even looking at him again.
Tian Mi didn't notice anyone around. He wiped the water off his face, swam to the shore, and threw the struggling fish in his hand into the wooden barrel.
Without resting, he turned around and continued to dive into the water.
This is her golden finger!
In his previous life, of all extreme sports, Tian Mi liked diving the most, and he even went to get a diving certificate for this purpose.
In the diving system, PADI Director is the highest level. Simply put, he is the training officer of diving instructors①.
That has always been Tian Mi's goal. She has never thought about teaching others, but just hopes that her diving skills will be strong.
However, plans cannot keep up with changes. After she obtained the certificate of chief diving instructor, which is one of the highest instructor levels of PADI, she was on her way out to surf the sea when she encountered a plane crash.
When she first woke up in this world, she was depressed for several days thinking about her parents whom she would never see again.
Even though her parents have remarried and have children, and don't pay much attention to Tian Mi, she will still feel the inevitable loss, after all, people are all made of flesh and blood.
What's more, those two men didn't treat her badly. At least she was never short of money.
And those like-minded friends who like to go on adventures together and whom I will never see again.
Tian Mi loves water by nature, so when she was in a bad mood, she went to Chaoyang River. It was also at that time, when she was swimming to vent her depressed mood, that she suddenly discovered that she had a golden finger.
The source of this ability is unknown, but somehow she gained the ability to breathe freely underwater, and was not afraid of changes in water temperature or water pressure when diving, just like a fish.
If she hadn't grown a tail on her lower body, Tian Mi would have shamelessly thought that she had regressed to become a mermaid.
I came here this morning with the intention of catching a few more fish to exchange for money at the market.
No matter what the future holds, having money in your pocket is king
In the early 1970s, when Tian Mi was in this environment, he realized that it was indeed not possible to run a business on one's own at that time. That was called speculation and profiteering, and one would be arrested.
But when going to market, farmers can sell or barter goods with each other.
The number of varieties cannot be too many, they can only be agricultural and sideline products grown at home, or eggs, hens, etc.
However, this is only available during the two market days. If you want to sell things at other times, you can only go to the cooperative.
It’s just that the cooperative has set the price very low, and the farmers, who have no source of income, would rather spend every penny wisely, so they naturally prefer to save up and wait for the market.
This is why Luan Hongmei gave the money to Tian Mi and asked her to go to the supply and marketing cooperative by herself, because she also had to sell things at the market during the two days, so she was too busy to do anything else.
Ten minutes later, Tian Milong had caught five fish in total.
The wooden barrel was too small and could only hold two. She made a piece of straw rope and strung the remaining three together before climbing to the shore.
As soon as she came out of the water, Tian Mi was frozen to the point of shaking like a sieve. She wrung the water stains off her body a few times, then immediately shivered and wrapped herself in her old coat, then ran towards home carrying the fish.
Shit! I am about to swear. It is so hard to make money.
She's frozen to death. She's frozen to death!
"Hey! This girl is amazing. See? In just a short while, she caught 5 fish with her bare hands, and each one is very big." After the people ran far away, the man with tiger eyes stood up, looked in the direction of the village, and exclaimed in amazement.
After saying this, he looked towards Chaoyang River suspiciously: "Is it because the fish here are easier to catch?"
"Let me take you down and try." Lou Luhui suggested in a cold tone while tying his belt.
Hearing this, the man waved his hands repeatedly: "Forget it, forget it, you old man have a very bad heart, you will definitely cheat me again."
Lou Lu buckled his belt, revealing his lean and smooth waist. He raised his hand to adjust his military cap, and with a stern face, he raised his eyelids and glanced at his comrade: "Let's go."
After saying this, without waiting for the man's reply, she strode away with her long legs.
"Hey, hey, hey, kid, wait for me. Speaking of which, that girl is suitable for our island. It is surrounded by water on three sides, and whoever marries her will never have to worry about food."
Lou Luhui paused for a moment, and when he took another step, he couldn't help but imagine the girl's beautiful appearance emerging from the water.
After a moment, he shook his head again.
Tsk. What are you thinking about? I don’t even know if that girl is an adult yet.
"By the way, is the little girl pretty?"
".I didn't see it clearly."
"You were so close, how could you not see it?"
“.”
"Hey, Lou, I'm talking to you."
“.”
“Tsk!”
