Fan Zezhou also saw Yu Xiangnian, but after just one glance, he looked away and walked into the house to call everyone.

He looked at her with a calm, unfamiliar look.

Yu Xiangnian felt that Fan Zezhou probably didn't recognize her.

All the educated youth were called out, and the village chief asked everyone who knew about Fuxincao?

Everyone shook their heads in bewilderment, "I've never even heard of Fu Xin Grass."

The village chief and Qiu Yang were all a little disappointed. At this time, Fan Zezhou stepped forward and asked, "Village chief, what does this Heart-Restoring Grass you mentioned look like? What is its use?"

Qiu Yang replied, "I've never seen what it looks like. It's a herbal remedy for heartache."

Fan Zezhou pondered for a moment. "I've read in a book before that there's a herb that can cure heartache. It's an orchid plant and has very specific growing requirements. It can only survive in warm climates, at altitudes of 500 to 1,000 meters in dense forests or on damp rocks in valleys. Is this the herb you're looking for?"

Qiu Yang was actually not sure if this was the kind of grass he was looking for. He only heard from his friends that this kind of grass was only found in the mountains of South City.

South City belongs to the warm zone, and after hearing Fan Zezhou say that this kind of grass grows in dense forests or valleys, Qiu Yang seemed to see hope.

Looking at Fan Zezhou again, he looks like an intellectual who is well-read in poetry and books. He speaks eloquently and with a confident expression.

Qiu Yang decided to first go and see if it was this kind of herb. If it was, that would be great. If not, then he would make other plans.

Qiu Yang asked, "Have you ever seen this kind of medicine?"

Fan Zezhou replied, "I once saw it by chance in the mountains, but the book says it's called hanging bamboo grass. I wonder if we're talking about the same grass?"

Regardless of whether it is the same kind of grass or not, Qiu Yang will certainly not give up this only hope.

They immediately decided to let Fan Zezhou take them into the mountains to search.

Fan Zezhou did not agree rashly, but looked at the village chief with a questioning look.

The village chief's sense of authority was greatly satisfied.

Look, these young people from big cities who are knowledgeable and cultured have to listen to my arrangements.

"Fan, the educated youth, take Comrade Qiu and Comrade Yu to the mountains to look for herbs these days. I will tell the scorekeeper to give you ten work points." The village chief said.

"Okay, Village Chief."

As Fan Zezhou entered the house to prepare, Yu Xiangnian asked the village chief, "Village chief, is Wu Xiaomin also an educated youth from your village?"

The village chief took a puff of the cigarette Qiu Yang handed him and said, "Yes, Wu Zhiqing is well-educated and has medical skills. A relative of hers is a leader in the army, so they loaned her to the family compound clinic."

Yu Xiangnian asked the village chief again, "I heard from the people in the family compound that Wu Zhiqing's partner is also a Zhiqing?"

"That's not true," said the village chief. "These educated youth are still looking forward to the day they can return to the city. Dating here won't hinder their future. Besides, Wu Zhiqing is only nineteen, so he's still young."

Yu Xiangnian thought to himself, could it be that he really misunderstood Wu Xiaomin?

But what happened that day when she heard the two of them arguing and breaking up?

Yu Xiangnian said sheepishly, "It seems that Wu Zhiqing has left a good impression on everyone."

The village chief echoed, "It's okay."

There were more than a dozen educated youth in the village, and he had no special impression of them before.

In the past few months, Wu Xiaomin would visit him at his home from time to time and bring him some things.

Just take this period of time for example. I just gave him a rabbit, and a few days ago I brought him a pound of pork.

Although there was not much meat and it was just a snack, he still remembered Wu Xiaomin and had a good impression of him.

Fan Zezhou came out of the house wearing a straw hat and carrying a small hoe and a kettle. He took Qiu Yang and Yu Xiangnian into the mountains.

Along the way, Qiu Yang kept asking him about the Fuxin Grass, and Fan Zezhou answered them one by one.

It seems that I have really seen this kind of grass.

Fan Zezhou didn't say anything to Yu Xiangnian, and the look in his eyes when he looked at her was unfamiliar.

Yu Xiangnian felt that Fan Zezhou had no impression of her at all.

After searching for most of the day, the sun was about to set, but they still couldn't find it, so the three of them returned empty-handed.

Qiu Yang drove Yu Xiangnian to a state-owned restaurant in the city for dinner.

Yu Xiangnian ordered several dishes: braised fish, stir-fried beef with celery, braised duck, stir-fried green beans, mapo tofu, and a cabbage soup.

"Can you finish all the food you ordered?" Qiu Yang said, "If you can't finish it, take it away!"

"That's exactly what I meant!" Yu Xiangnian said to the waiter, "Pack up the hot and sour fish and braised duck to go, and serve the other dishes."

"..." Qiu Yang felt that his words hit the mark exactly what Xiang Nian wanted, "Are you going to take it home for Cheng Jingmo to eat?"

"You guessed it! It's your treat!"

Qiu Yang muttered in dissatisfaction, "Eating and taking at the same time, how dare you!"

The two of them ate and chatted.

Yu Xiangnian asked, "Who is your friend? Why are you going to so much trouble to find this medicine?"

Qiu Yang said, "He's from Shanghai, and he's also a government-sponsored student. I met him abroad."

"The medical facilities in Shanghai are considered among the best in the country. Why haven't they diagnosed what the illness is?"

Qiu Yang said, "They said he had heart problems. He used to have heartaches from time to time. He was almost dying a while ago, so my friend rushed back."

Yu Xiangnian thought for a while, but still held back the words: Otherwise, ask your friend to send the examination report so that I can see what the disease is.

Qiu Yang grew up with her, and he knew how many words she could write.

If Qiu Yang knew that she could treat illnesses and perform surgery, he would definitely be suspicious of her.

After dinner, Qiu Yangyu sent Xiang Nian back to the family compound. It was already dark at this time.

When I got home, Cheng Jingmo was reading comic books to Xiaojie.

Xiaojie has recently become obsessed with comic books and pesters them to read them to him whenever he has time.

Yu Xiangnian regretted bringing these books from home.

"I brought you braised fish and stewed duck. You can just heat them up and eat them tomorrow." Yu Xiangnian said as he put the dishes into the cupboard.

Cheng Jingmo glanced at her and asked, "Have you found the herbs?"

Yu Xiangnian lazily leaned on a chair and said, "No, I walked on the mountain road all day, I'm sweating all over, and my feet hurt."

Cheng Jingmo saw that Yu Xiangnian's cloth shoes were covered with mud, as were his trouser legs, and there were several stains on his light blue clothes, probably from some plant juice.

"I've never heard of Fuxin Grass. I asked several comrades today, and they haven't heard of it either. Did you find the wrong one?" Cheng Jingmo said.

Yu Xiangnian thought of Fan Zezhou.

But now she was not sure about the relationship between Fan Zezhou and Wu Xiaomin. Without certainty, she did not tell Cheng Jingmo about this person.

"There was an educated youth in the village who knew about this kind of grass, and he took us to find it," she said.

The next day, Yu Xiangnian and Qiu Yang came to the village youth league site again and asked Fan Zezhou to take them into the mountains to continue looking for medicine.

Yu Xiangnian saw a familiar figure at the educated youth site, but when he looked more closely, the figure had disappeared.
