Reborn in the 60s and adopted

The weather was still unusually cold in the morning just after the Chinese New Year, as if it was still immersed in the aftermath of winter.

A thin layer of mist hung in the cold air, making the whole village look hazy and mysterious.

Because of the Chinese New Year, all labor activities in the village were suspended.

Tang Shu sat quietly on the hillside as usual, looking into the distance with a confused look, as if he was thinking about something.

At this moment, a figure gradually emerged from the mist. A tall and handsome man was seen walking slowly towards them carrying a load.

His appearance surprised her.

The man walked up to her, smiled and asked, "Hello, comrade! Do you know how to get to the Bayi Brigade?"

Tang Shu came back to her senses, and when she saw the man's face clearly, a blush appeared on her face.

She shyly raised her hand, pointed to the road below, and replied softly: "Follow this road all the way down and you will reach the Bayi Brigade."

The man looked in the direction of her finger, but there was only thick fog in front of him, making it almost impossible to see the road clearly.

His handsome eyebrows slightly wrinkled, revealing a trace of worry, and he made a worried expression to Tang Shu and said: "Comrade, is there really a road ahead? I feel like I can't see it clearly at all."

Tang Shu looked at the man in confusion, then pointed firmly at the road ahead again, "Of course there is, I walked up from that side."

After hearing this, the man invited her enthusiastically: "That's great! Could you please take me for a walk? I'm not familiar with this place. If I accidentally fall into the ditch, all my load of goods will be ruined."

His tone was sincere and earnest, and his eyes revealed his trust and expectation for Tang Shu.

Tang Shu thought about it and realized that after sending him to the village, she had to go back to wash clothes, otherwise her mother would wake up too late and not be able to find him, and she would scold him. So she nodded and walked in front to lead the way for him.

"You are such a nice person, beautiful and warm-hearted. Thank you." The man followed behind and looked at the graceful figure of the woman in front of him. Even though she was wearing homemade homespun clothes from the countryside, her beauty could not be concealed.

When Tang Shu heard this, her face turned slightly red and her eyes became moist. No one had praised her for being nice and beautiful in all these years. This was the first time.

"You're welcome. Anyone can show you the way. Why do you come here to sell goods? There was an old man who used to come here to sell goods."

"I heard from my colleagues that your team is rich in the surrounding villages, so I came here to see if I can exchange some money. I have to make money to support my wife." After saying that, he looked straight at Tang Shu's back.

"Haha~ Is our Bayi Brigade so famous? Then I wish you great fortune. Our village brigade headquarters is in front. It is the slack season now, and people will pass by here soon. You can wait here." Tang Shu said to him with a smile.

"Okay, thank you. My name is Jiang Dan. May I know your name?" Jiang Dan smiled with his eight teeth showing, like a peacock spreading its tail, fully displaying his charm.

"My name is Tang Shu. I'm going home first." Tang Shu was mesmerized by his handsome smile and shyly said his name.

"Ok."

The two of them parted like this, and Tang Shu was still muttering to himself: Jiang Dan, what a nice name.

Unexpectedly, the next day, Tang Shu met Jiang Dan carrying a basket at the same place again.

"Tang Shu? What a coincidence!" Jiang Dan shouted excitedly. He just wanted to try his luck today and see if he could meet her again.

"Yes, what a coincidence, you come to our village to sell things again today!" Tang Shu was also very happy. Last night she dreamed that this person was smiling and talking to her.

"Do you want to go back to the village? I still want you to lead the way for me." Jiang Dan looked at Tang Shu and said.

Tang Shu nodded and walked in front of him.

"Tang Shu, do you have a partner?" Jiang Dan asked.

"I...I haven't yet." Tang Shu replied.

"Oh." Jiang Dan responded and said nothing more.

Tang Shu, who was walking in front, thought he would ask some other questions, but he just said one word and nothing more. Disappointed, she began to think wildly: "Why did he ask me this question? Does he like me?"

Thinking of this, her face suddenly turned red.

The two of them arrived at the brigade headquarters one after the other.

Several young girls and young wives in the village are waiting here.

Seeing Jiang Dan coming over with the basket, they all gathered around him excitedly and soon pushed Tang Shu, who was walking in front, into a corner.

"Oh, Brother Jiang, you're finally here! I've been waiting for you for a long time!" A newly married young wife in the village was the most enthusiastic, pulling Jiang Dan's basket and saying.

"Haha, sister-in-law, I promised yesterday that I would bring you headscarves today. I will definitely come." After Jiang Dan said this, he put the basket on his shoulder on the ground and took out several neatly folded red headscarves from under the basket.

"Wow, it's so beautiful, exactly the same as Aunt Liu Lin's. I like it. Brother Jiang, how much is one?" When the young wife saw the headscarves that Jiang Dan took out, she quickly took the top one and gently touched it against her face. It was obvious that she liked it very much.

"5 cents." Jiang Dan.

The young wife was stunned and said unconsciously, "So expensive?"

"Sister-in-law, this is new merchandise from the city's department store. It's sold at this price in the building. I brought it to you from far away, but I didn't make a penny from you." Jiang Dan's expression became serious, and he was no longer as cheerful as before.

"But, this price..." The young wife really liked it. Her family was not rich before, and she married into the Bayi Brigade. Her mother-in-law gave her pocket money. She gritted her teeth and seemed to have made some important decision. She took out the money from her trouser pocket and handed it to Jiang Dan, saying, "Okay, I'll take the one in my hand."

Jiang Dan took the money cheerfully, put it in his pocket, and took out a red hair string from the basket and handed it to his young wife: "Sister-in-law, don't feel that you are being taken advantage of. I'm giving you a red hair string. Just buy things from me more often in the future."

The young wife took the red hairband and happily left with the things.

Seeing how generous this young man Jiang was, others also started to talk about their choices.

One of the girls, who was younger than Tang Shu, timidly looked at Jiang Dan with starry eyes. Jiang Dan also responded with a smile.

Tang Shu, who was sitting in the corner, happened to see her. She didn't know what was wrong with her and felt very upset.

It turned out that he would also smile like that to people other than her.

Disappointed, Tang Shu didn't look at this side anymore and went home.

Jiang Dan, who was selling goods, naturally saw Tang Shu leave.

He then asked the girl in front of him: "Do you know Tang Shu?"

The girl looked at Jiang Dan and finally spoke to her. But when she heard that he was talking about another woman, her face suddenly fell. "How could I not know her? This old lady who is over 20 and still unmarried."

"Then why didn't she get married?" Jiang Dan asked.

The little girl looked unhappy and told Jiang Dan about the situation of Tang Shu's family with exaggeration.

And during this time,

Tang Shu, who was worried about gains and losses, never went to the hillside where she usually liked to stay.
