Chapter 197 Back at the commune, I ran into Tian Xingzhu.
To avoid distracting He Yong'an, Feng Qingqing wanted him to focus on his studies at the Party School.
Under He Yong'an's intense gaze and compelling stare, he slowly nodded.
I promised him that I would hold back until he returned, and we would make plans after he came back.
He Yong'an was slightly relieved at this point.
But for some reason, looking at Feng Qingqing's face full of assurances, he still had doubts.
Based on his understanding of Feng Qingqing, he estimated that while there would be no major moves, there would be constant minor ones.
Even so, I know she is a very sensible person.
I stopped thinking about it and the night passed without incident.
The next morning, He Yong'an reluctantly took a car to the provincial capital, carrying a simple bundle.
A few days after He Yong'an left, Feng Qingqing stayed at home and continued making winter coats for the children.
Yesterday, she bought another 5 jin of yarn from the supply and marketing cooperative, intending to knit a sweater for each of her two little ones.
Sweaters are both warm and close-fitting, without looking bulky or cumbersome.
The two little ones love sports, so these clothes fit them perfectly.
Although she has been doing needlework at home these past few days, her mind has not stopped thinking.
He kept thinking about Tian Xingzhu's matter.
She promised He Yong'an that she would not act on her own and that they would discuss it further after he returned.
But she wasn't one to be passive. Who knew what might happen when He Yong'an returned in two months?
Moreover, even if she doesn't take action for the time being, she needs to find out the details and have a clear understanding before deciding whether to wait for He Yong'an to return and carry it out together.
She wasn't one to sit idly by; she was finding it increasingly agonizing to just wait like that.
Early that morning, she dropped her two children off at the Fang family's house, said goodbye, and then took a car directly to the commune.
Meanwhile, Qi Hongsheng and Tian Xingzhu, who were still in Lanshan Brigade, ate some snacks after getting up that morning and then walked together to the commune.
The two traveled at a leisurely pace.
They would occasionally exchange a few words, and the atmosphere would become somewhat subdued for a moment.
Since Tian Xingzhu came to Lanshan Brigade, Qi Hongsheng's life seems to have not changed much. In fact, his living standards in the educated youth compound have improved significantly compared to the past.
But for some reason, he always felt uneasy.
He now has to watch Tian Xingzhu's expression before he can do anything.
This was quite different from his carefree attitude before Tian Xingzhu arrived.
Recently, he has witnessed that although Tian Xingzhu has no direct contact with the two people at the commune guesthouse, he has been keeping track of their every move through him.
As far as he knew, after Tian Xingzhu arrived at the Lanshan Brigade, he quietly inquired about the clues provided by the two men when they came looking for him.
At this moment, he was also conflicted because he did not tell Tian Xingzhu about his suspicions about He Yong'an immediately.
He worried that if Tian Xingzhu found out about his previous concealment and became dissatisfied or suspicious of him, his good days would be over.
At this moment, Qi Hongsheng had a vague feeling that Tian Xingzhu's arrival was not a good thing for him.
He always felt like it was a tight band around his neck, binding him tighter and tighter.
The two of them had arranged to go to the commune today.
Upon arriving at the commune, they split up to carry out their respective tasks.
Qi Hongsheng went to the guesthouse to find the two men.
Tian Xingzhu went to visit the supply and marketing cooperative, and the two met at a state-run restaurant for lunch at noon.
If Qi Hongsheng were to say what Tian Xingzhu's strengths were, it would be her magnanimity.
They generally don't take eating at state-run restaurants seriously.
After arriving at the commune by car, Feng Qingqing saw that it was still early and decided to take a stroll around the commune's recycling station first.
When she arrived at the recycling station, the old man at the gate saw her, a young woman, come in, waved her over, and let her in.
This time, she first went to the furniture area she had visited before, but the space did not respond this time, which made her somewhat disappointed.
She still slowly walked around the recycling bin and found a few books that looked very old, which she casually placed in her space.
Then she searched through the bookshelf and actually found several math, physics and chemistry books, a powerful tool for the college entrance examination.
You should know that the college entrance examination will be reinstated in just over a year.
She is still quite young, and has been on leave from work for the past year to take care of her child.
I might as well go to university and get some further education, so that I will have more security in working and living in Beijing in the future.
Think no more.
She searched the recycling center again but found nothing else of value, so she picked up a few books and headed towards the front door.
The old man who opened the door saw that the girl had been waiting for a while, so he brought over a few books, nodded, and asked for 50 cents.
After paying the money, Feng Qingqing left the recycling station.
She checked the time and realized it was getting late, so she walked into a secluded alley.
The books I retrieved from the recycling bin were placed in the space storage room.
Then she took out a set of makeup tools from the space and applied them to her face.
Soon, a lifelike image of an old woman with a sallow complexion, dark eyebrows, and a large mole on her eyebrow appeared. She looked to be about 40 years old.
This is something Feng Qingqing has figured out in the last few days, and it seems to be working well.
Although she didn't stay in Lanshan Brigade for long, the other educated youth she knew and some of the brigade members recognized her at a glance.
To make things easier, she eventually came up with the idea of exchanging a set of cosmetics in her spatial dimension.
After repeated testing by Feng Qingqing, even her closest relatives can no longer easily recognize her.
Not to mention the educated youth and other members of the Lanshan Brigade, who only had a slight acquaintance with her.
Feng Qingqing was very satisfied with her image and was also extremely confident.
No one would ever connect her current appearance with the previous Feng Qingqing.
She then put on an inconspicuous dark gray jacket over her outer garment.
She also changed her shoes to a pair of handmade cotton shoes with patches.
In short, Feng Qingqing looked herself up and down and smiled smugly.
Only then did he slowly walk out of the alley.
It was almost time for the state-run restaurant to open for lunch, and she only knew from Hu Fangming that Tian Xingzhu and Qi Hongsheng would be coming to the state-run restaurant every two or three days.
Today she's just trying her luck, wondering if she'll run into those two.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the state-run restaurant, I saw a queue forming in the lobby.
She had never seen Tian Xingzhu before, so she first scanned the group to see if there were any familiar faces.
Looking around, Qi Hongsheng was not visible.
Slightly disappointed, she pondered for a moment, then looked again at the people in line ahead of her.
I found a young woman who was third in line.
Wearing a burgundy wool coat, a rare sight here, and a brown striped skirt, she looked incredibly stylish and eye-catching.
