Protagonist:

Chai Mi

Chai Mi knew nothing about this matter; first, her own schedule was perfectly planned, and besides, the police knew Chai Mi's mother was hospitalized, so they did not search Chai Mi.

Second, because Che Lianyun's injuries were relatively light.

Although they looked serious, they were all superficial wounds, and would heal in three to five days.

The matter ended just like that; not only had Che Lianyun been beaten for nothing, but the story spread all over the village.

Everyone in the village said: this little dumpling, asking for a beating...

Even when the police investigated the school, apart from the Principal and Chai You Fu, all the other teachers agreed: Che Lianyun getting beaten was not strange at all; she should have been beaten long ago.

Some even said: Little Dumpling offended so many people, who knows which living father beat her? Whoever it was, they beat her well, they beat her right...

So the police dropped the case and stopped managing it.

Chai You Fu did not know whether this matter was done by Chai Mi, but still wanted to ask around, and ask some other things along the way.

Chai Mi greeted the two into the house, and Chai You Fu and Chai Min followed into the house.

The house had three rooms; the outer room's floor was still dirt, not suitable for placing things, so Chai You Fu and Chai Min carried their things into the inner room.

In Chai Mi's inner room, there were two red-plum cabinets on the north side, so Chai You Fu placed his things on top of the cabinet.

Chai Min also placed her things, looking very cautious, afraid the things would touch something.

Chai Xiu was holding a comic book at the kang head, seemingly a comic of Cheng Yaojin fighting Wang Long, reading with great interest; when Chai You Fu and Chai Min came in, she finally came to her senses, hurriedly closed the comic book, got down from the kang, and called out "Second Uncle, hello" and "Cousin Sister, hello".

Then she sneakily slipped to the side of the cabinet, rubbing the corner of her clothes with a look of being at a loss.

Chai Mi pretended not to see Chai Xiu sneakily reading the comic book; during the Dragon Boat Festival, although there were many vegetables in the Northeast, there were no seasonal fruits, and the family had not planted many fruit trees, so she only washed a few apples bought from the county town to entertain Chai You Fu and his daughter.

The customs of this era were a bit more than in later generations; Chai Mi said, "Second Uncle, Chai Min, you two sit first," then went to brew tea and get cigarettes.

Chai Mi's home had neither a sofa nor a wooden stool; Chai You Fu sat directly on the edge of the kang and said, "No need to brew tea, I just drank some at home."

But Chai Mi still brewed a pot of tea.

Rural life was rather simple, not comparable to ancient rich families, nor to living conditions in the city. The tea was just ordinary black tea.

Moreover, the tea leaves in Chai Mi's home were that kind of very scattered tea leaf surface, not very good to drink, only having some tea leaf flavor.

Even so, her father Chai Youqing did not drink it much on weekdays, afraid of spending money...

Of course, Chai Youqing... better not mention him.

Tea needs to steep for a while before the color becomes deeper. Of course, this refers to black tea; locals generally judge the quality of tea mainly by color.

The darker the color, the better.

So the tea Chai Mi brewed was strong tea.

While the tea was steeping, Chai Mi took out a box of White Red Plum cigarettes from the small wooden box on top of the cabinet, two yuan and five jiao a pack, considered relatively expensive cigarettes for rural people in this era.

"Second Uncle, smoke."

Chai You Fu took the cigarette, and Chai Mi handed him the matchbox.

Chai You Fu then lit one for himself.

The South has its customs, the North has its customs, and the village also has its traditions.

Whether Chai You Fu smoked or not, Chai Mi would offer cigarettes, and Chai You Fu would smoke one, showing mutual respect.
