Xiao Mi 'er.
This form of address …
Coupled with this tone and voice, Mi Xaing 'er felt goosebumps all over.
She turned around and looked at Aiya. What a coincidence.
Ni Dahai was wearing a navy shirt with a pair of well-ironed black trousers. He had a brand-new military yellow school bag on his chest and a pair of leather lace-up shoes on his feet. At a glance, his outfit was the most fashionable of the time. Coupled with his tall and burly figure and the devilish smile on his face, he stood out so much that people had to take a second look at him.
Yun Jingting narrowed her eyes and looked at him. She had to objectively admit that this was a very outstanding man. He had the looks, the looks, and the taste. He was different from the usual little rascals in the county. This person's strong temperament hid a bit of arrogance from thousands of years of experience.
He felt threatened. Although he did not say a word, his expression was not good. Such a man always surrounded Mi Xaing 'er covetously and called her Xiao Mi, Xiao Mi. Who would feel assured?
Ni Dahai swayed his arms and walked over. He did not intend to hide his ruffian aura at all. "Xiao Mi 'er, why are you here?"
Mi Xaing 'er looked at him from the corner of her eyes. "It's not that I didn't hear what you called me …"
"Xiao Mi 'er, isn't your surname Mi? You're not younger than me. Is it wrong for me to call you Xiao Mi?"
Ni Dahai's gaze swept over Yun Laohu's loose hospital gown. There was a hint of provocation in his tone. He was still brooding over Yun Laohu's sudden visit to the restaurant last time and taking away Mi Xaing 'er without saying goodbye. "Aiyo, isn't this the People's Liberation Army Uncle? How did you get injured so gloriously?"
Gu Dalong knew how to read people's faces. "Hey, comrade, please be more polite. Our Regiment Commander is magnanimous and will not argue with you. But my temper is not good …"
Yun Jingting had to consider his image as a soldier in public, so he quickly interrupted him. "Don't talk nonsense."
Ni Dahai curled his lips in an exaggerated manner. "Oh, I didn't expect you to be a regiment commander."
Mi Xaing 'er thought of the basket of herbs and the "business" they had talked about before. He pondered for a while and said, "Just in time. I have something to ask you."
She quickly glanced at Yun Jingting. She did not want him to know or participate in the "business" of "poaching people from socialism" and affect his future as a soldier. "Okay, let's talk outside."
Ni Dahai chuckled. "Sure, I'll listen to you."
Whistling, he walked away, swinging his arms.
Mi Xaing 'er turned to look at Yun Jingting. "Head Of Yun, I'll take my leave then. I'll visit you again when I'm free!"
Yun Jingting felt that he had a lot to say, but only a few words came out of his mouth. "Be careful on the road."
"Okay." Mi Xaing 'er lowered her head and smiled. She raised her snow-white arm and pinched two thick black braids. The curve of her lips was so beautiful that people could not take their eyes off her. "Don't forget to inform me when you're discharged!"
She turned around and left.
Her graceful figure was shrouded in the golden sunlight, like a painting.
Gu Dalong stared at her back view. He was a little confused. Why did his sister-in-law leave with another man?
He widened his eyes. "Regiment Commander, that guy just now looked like a loafer. Why did sister-in-law talk to him? Should I teach him a lesson?"
Yun Jingting glared at him. "Nonsense! We're living in a modern society now. Women can hold up half the sky. It's not the time where women can't leave the house. What's wrong with your sister-in-law talking to other men outside? Why are you so old-fashioned?"
Gu Dalong blinked twice.
Was this the legendary rhythm of shielding one's loved ones?
No matter what sister-in-law did, she was always right!
She would fight with whoever dared to question Regiment Commander!
He was quick-witted and immediately changed the topic. "Regiment Commander, you're right. Don't bother about what that loafer wants to do. Our sister-in-law has sharp eyes. She definitely won't give him a chance!"
Yun Jingting snorted. "If he dares to touch Mi Xaing 'er, I'll kill him first!"
Although he acted magnanimous in front of outsiders, he looked at the woman's back view and secretly "scolded" her. Stupid girl, you're always making things difficult for me. If I see the two of you together again, hmph, I won't say anything more. I'll just take you down directly!
Ni Dahai stood on the steps of the hospital and turned his head to look at Mi Xaing 'er walking slowly towards him. He was so happy!
Ever since they parted last time, he did not know why, but Mi Xaing 'er's figure kept appearing in his mind. He looked forward to seeing her again.
Today was such a coincidence. Heaven had fulfilled his wish.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at her. She was wearing a flowery shirt that had been washed white and a pair of slightly faded blue pants. Although it was a little shabby, it was definitely clean and neat. Her fair skin, exquisite facial features, cherry-like red lips, and grape-like eyes were especially watery and attractive.
He could not help but smile. "Hey, Xiao Mi 'er, don't you think we're fated to meet each other wherever we go? I happen to have a buddy who has appendicitis and is in the hospital for an operation. I wanted to come over to visit him, but the moment I arrived at the hospital, I saw you first. Haha, what's that saying again? Even if they were fated to meet, they would meet even if they were thousands of miles apart!"
Mi Xaing 'er ignored his nonsense. "The last time I left in a hurry, the basket of herbs is still with you!"
Ni Dahai did not wait for her to finish speaking and waved his hand casually. "I've already sold those herbs. You don't say, the price was not bad!"
Mi Xaing 'er was a little curious. "Ah, who did you sell them to?"
"I can't say that. It's a trade secret. Anyway, just one sentence. You can supply me with goods in the future. I'll buy as much as you have!"
"Really?"
"Really? Let's exchange contact information. We'll work together for a long time!" Ni Dahai took out a pen and paper from his bag and wrote down an address. "This is my house. I'm usually here in the morning and in the evening."
He took out another five yuan. "This is the money for the herbs. Keep it!"
Five yuan!
Mi Xaing 'er was a little excited. After all, this was her first income in the 1970s. Five yuan for one batch of herbs. With the current harvesting speed, it would not be a problem to sell seven or eight batches of herbs a month. That would be 30 to 40 yuan, which was equivalent to more than a year's worth of work points in the village.
She did not stand on ceremony and carefully kept the address and money. "Then I'll leave first. There are still some herbs at home. I'll pack them up and send them to you in a few days!"
Ni Dahai squinted and looked at the small cloth bag on her shoulder. "Where are you going? Can you find a place? I'll send you!"
"I'm going to the pharmacy. It's not far from here. I can find it!"
"You're going to do something!"
"Sort of. To meet someone!"
Ni Dahai reacted very quickly. Suddenly, he seemed to have understood something. His face darkened. "Are you going to meet Section Chief Tang, Tang Guohui?"
Yes!
Mi Xaing 'er was stunned. "How did you know?"
Ni Dahai snapped his fingers. "As the saying goes, pigs dig forward while chickens dig backward. Everyone has their own path. Don't think that I'm a bad person who specializes in poaching socialist people. The more backward people like me are, the more interested I am in current affairs, from national policies to influential people in the county!"
Mi Xaing 'er did not wait for him to finish. "Can we make a long story short?"
Ni Dahai was not angry. "Okay, I'll make it short. Although Tang Guohui is a small Section Chief, he has a lucrative position. Let's put it this way. All the recruitment and training of the county's pharmaceutical department, as well as the work arrangements after the training, are all under his supervision!"
He raised his eyebrows. "You should be a smart person, right? You must be able to see that there's something fishy going on here. In this world, many people are racking their brains to return to the city. Work arrangements and household registration are big issues. Think about it. Who would want to work in the factory? Who would want to work on paper boxes on the streets? How wonderful it would be to work in the hospital! It's a good job, and it's light.
It'll be a white angel! "He squinted at Mi Xaing 'er." Especially you young ladies. Many of them ask him to do things for them! "
Mi Xaing 'er was very smart. She could roughly guess what was going on just by looking at his expression!
She could not help but feel a little troubled. It was one thing to send him two bottles of wine.
To give him away?
There was no way she would do that!
She wanted to immediately return to the village, but on second thought, she was already here. She could not possibly run back just because of Ni Dahai's one-sided words, right?
She pondered for a while and made up her mind. "I understand what you mean. Thank you for reminding me!"
"So?" Ni Dahai did not expect her to understand so quickly. He did not say much. "You're still going?"
Mi Xaing 'er lowered her head and smiled.
Go?
Of course, go!
There was no such thing as success in this world. It was not her style to back out without trying.
She turned around and waved at Ni Dahai. "That's it then. See you next time!"
Ni Dahai narrowed his eyes and looked at her back. He thought to himself, This girl is born to be fearless. There's probably going to be a good show to watch this time!
----- Digression —
Will Mi Xaing 'er be able to study in the city? What kind of career will she choose in the future?
Meet again!
