Tang Shiyan walked towards her home under the moonlight. When she opened the door, she saw Xia Jinnian still sitting there waiting for her.

"Jinnian, why haven't you slept yet?"

"Yan Yan, wasn't I waiting for you? Seeing that you haven't come back yet so late, I'm very worried about you, afraid that you met some gangster like Er Laizi on the road."

"Hey, Jinnian, don't worry. This is where I was born and raised. I'm very familiar with it."

"Besides, with my strength, if those hooligans dare to mess with me, I will beat them until they are left with their teeth on the ground and beg for mercy on their knees."

"Yeah, I know my Yanyan is the best. People like that must not be let off easily."

"By the way, Yanyan, go see that old man with a cough and wheezing. Is he feeling better now?"

"Almost healed. He looks much more energetic."

"That's good. Fortunately, I met a good girl like you. You treated their illnesses and even cooked for them and sent them over."

"If we can go out, I would like to go with you to see them."

"Jinnian, you don't know, their lives are so poor. They go out every day to dig up wild vegetables to eat. Do you think that is nutritious?"

"I don't know what brought them here. It's pitiful to see them, especially the old man and woman who are already old and have to endure such suffering."

"Next time there's a chance, I'll take you to see them and you'll see how pitiful they are. It's really heartbreaking to see them not having enough to eat or warm clothes."

"Yeah, have you washed the dishes in the basket? If not, give them to me to wash. You can go into the house and go to bed."

Tang Shiyan handed the basket to Xia Jinnian and said, "It hasn't been washed yet. Please wash it for me."

Xia Jinnian took the basket and said, "Okay, Yanyan."

"But I'd like a small reward, okay?"

"What reward? Tell me if I can do it."

"Well, Yanyan, of course you can do it."

Xia Jinnian put his face close to Tang Shiyan and said: Yanyan, I just want a kiss from you, okay?

Tang Shiyan didn't blush anymore and gave Xia Jinnian a kiss on the lips, thinking that it was not her initiative, but Xia Jinnian's request.

Xia Jinnian felt her enthusiasm and immediately put down the basket and hugged Tang Shiyan and kissed her passionately.

It lasted about 10 minutes before the two stopped.

"Yan Yan, thank you for the reward. I'm very happy."

"snort."

Tang Shiyan turned around and went back to her room and closed the door.

Xia Jinnian carried a basket to the kitchen to wash the dishes, humming a little tune as he washed. He was very happy to meet such a good girl who agreed to be his partner.

He quickly washed the dishes and went back to his room to sleep.

Tang Shiyan slept until the next morning, and only woke up when Xia Jinnian called her to get up and have breakfast.

"Jinnian, why are you up so early? Can't you sleep?"

"Yan Yan, I don't have anything to do all day anyway, and sometimes I just sleep in bed, so I'll get up early to make breakfast for you, and you can get some more rest."

"Yan Yan, are you still going to take them to learn about medicinal herbs today?"

"Yes, Jinnian, I've only been with them for two days. Let them figure it out on their own. I can't be with them every day. I have my own things to do."

"I see they learn very quickly. I believe they can learn it in just two days."

"Yan Yan, that's because you taught me well."

"Haha, that's necessary. This concerns people's lives and safety. We must teach them well."

After the two of them finished their meal, Tang Shiyan carried a backpack and walked towards the brigade headquarters, waiting for the people who were collecting medicinal herbs.

She wondered how those who were pioneering the land were doing, so she decided to teach them about medicinal herbs in the next two days.

She needs to discuss with the team leader about buying orange saplings. If they can't afford to buy them, she can pay for them first.

But the prerequisite is that she must first find the team leader, branch secretary, and accountant to sign a loan note, and the amount of interest must also be written on it.

When the fruits are ripe and sold, they will return the money and interest to her. She doesn't want to be a saint and give her money to invest in them for nothing.

As long as the document is signed, if someone refuses to pay back the money or is jealous of the money earned, you can produce this evidence.

After waiting for about ten minutes, those who were looking for medicinal herbs arrived.

Accompanying them were the old educated youth Jiang Qingyan, Xia Qingchu, as well as the new educated youth Lin Yifei, Qin Tianyi, Du Zixuan, and a few aunts.

Jiang Qingyan greeted Tang Shiyan when she saw her standing there.

"Comrade Tang, you've been waiting for a long time. I'm so sorry to have made you wait for so many of us alone."

"Jiang Zhiqing, it's okay. I just got here not long ago."

Jiang Qingyan has a carefree look and looks like a lively and cheerful person, ever since she came here as an educated youth.

She never looked down on the people here and never gossiped about others, but if someone deliberately picked a fight with her or irritated her, she would not be an easy target.

"Comrade Tang, let's go. I've almost memorized everything you taught me yesterday."

"I believe I will soon be able to familiarize myself with those herbs and their effects. When I return to the city, I will definitely bring some of these herbs back with me."

"If someone is feeling unwell, just give them some of these herbs so they don't have to get an injection."

"Yes, Jiang Zhiqing, I believe you will learn it soon. Then I'll trouble you to lead everyone to find medicinal herbs."

"Just follow me today. I will explain to you the key points and benefits of picking herbs."

"You can bring everyone to pick the fruits tomorrow. I'm going to do my own thing."

"Okay, Comrade Tang, I will definitely study hard and will not let you down."

"I also learned some of it from books, but I didn't pay much attention to it at that time, so I didn't study it seriously."

"Comrade Tang, I don't think you look like someone who grew up in the countryside. You are much smarter and more capable than us city dwellers."

"Haha, Jiang Zhiqing, you're not bad either. Unlike some people who look down on us country folks the moment we arrive, and are always looking for trouble, being the first to stir up trouble."

"I hope I'm not mistaken about you. I'll leave it to you to lead them to find the herbs."

"Yeah, don't worry. Besides, don't we have Lin Yifei? He seems to know a lot about these herbs. If I really don't understand something, can I ask you?"

Tang Shiyan thought that these two people were most likely dating.

"Okay, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me. Don't try to figure it out blindly. This is a matter of life and death, so we must not make any mistakes."

"Okay, Comrade Tang, I understand.

"Oh, by the way, Jiang Zhiqing, are you dating Lin Zhiqing?"

"Haha, Comrade Tang, you've already seen through it. I'm telling you, I've had a crush on him since the first day he came here."

"Oh, so you mean you were chasing him?"

"Hehe, you can understand it that way. When we get married, you must come and participate."

"Okay, I'll definitely come."
