"Grandpa's teeth are not very good, and he can't chew the apple. You eat it." Han Zheng stuffed it into her hand.
Yun Huaying had no choice but to accept it. She took out the small dagger from her trouser pocket, cut it in half, and handed him half: "I'll just eat half."
A smile flashed in Han Zheng's eyes. They each shared half of the apple. He felt that the feeling of eating an apple together was indescribably wonderful. A sentence popped into his mind: "You have half, I have half, you are my other half."
Seeing that he didn't know what he was thinking, didn't take the apple, and had a smile on his face, Yun Huaying was a little speechless and stuffed the apple directly into his mouth, just covering up the smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Oh!"
Han Zheng's mind was occupied by that sentence, which kept replaying over and over again. He couldn't control his inner joy and laughed out loud.
Yun Huaying: "...Stupid?"
Han Zheng's smile froze, but he didn't stop. There was a hint of laughter in his voice: "Huaying, give me half of the apple. I thought of something."
"What?" Yun Huaying raised her eyebrows.
"Hmm..." Han Zheng hesitated, keeping the secret a secret: "I'll tell you later."
He didn't say anything, and Yun Huaying, who was not very curious, didn't ask. But with a woman's sixth sense, she was sure that it would be better not to say it out loud.
Thinking that it was getting late and they still had to go check on the traps, Yun Huaying walked away first: "Let's go down the mountain. I made a few new traps earlier. Let's go see if there are any stocks."
“In stock.”
Han Zheng had gone to see it before, picked up the game and hid it in a secret place, then hurried to the mountains to find her.
There were seven or eight pheasants and rabbits in Yun Huaying's trap, and Han Zheng also got a similar number of goods in the tea garden. He had only carried one basket up before, and it was not enough to hold the goods of both of them combined.
The team members had not yet finished their work, and if they carried the game down the mountain like this, they would definitely be envied and criticized, so they hid the game in a safe place and only took a small pheasant weighing less than two pounds down the mountain to "report".
Of course, even though it was just a little pheasant, many people looked at it with jealousy and envy.
Lin Shan and Jiang Yuan were relieved to see Yun Huaying coming back. They had been worried that she would encounter danger in the mountains, but they had no time to look for her. Later, when they saw Han Zheng going to look for her, they were able to work with peace of mind.
The team leader also saw them. When they came over, he took a look at the bupleurum in the basket and said, "Yun Huaying, my mother boiled the bupleurum you found this morning and fed it to the pigs. It's working well. They woke up to eat at noon. Please take this basket back and boil some water to feed them again tonight."
Yun Huaying nodded and remained silent.
A woman was resting against her hoe not far away. She glanced at the bupleurum in her backpack and said in a loud voice, "Captain, how about I go to the mountains to look for this bupleurum tomorrow? Will you give me a full attendance?"
Yun Huaying was responsible for going into the mountains to find Bupleurum chinense for the pigs today. Everyone in the team knew about it. They saw her find half a basket in the morning, and only half a basket in the afternoon. Many people thought that she was hiding in the mountains and being lazy, and just brought some back casually to get the job done. This woman was one of them who thought so.
She was very familiar with the surrounding mountains and now she knew what Bupleurum looked like. She felt that she could find it in the mountains. Compared to doing farm work and plowing the soil, she was very willing to look for medicinal herbs.
Zhao Xuelin knew the personalities of the team members well enough to guess her thoughts with his toes. He rolled his eyes at her and said, "Do you think this bupleurum is easy to find? Xie Laowai goes into the mountains every year to look for it. He climbs over mountains and runs for hours, but he still may not find enough to treat the pigs' fever."
"I remember three years ago, the pigs in the team fell ill, and Xie Laowai took several people from the village to the mountains to look for Bupleurum. Ask the three or four people who went there at the time how much they found after working all day in the mountains."
Xie Laowai is a veterinarian. He is not from the Red Star Commune, but from the Duo'an Huatian Commune. However, he is quite famous in this area. Whenever there is a problem with the pigs in each brigade, they ask him to treat it.
The man next to the woman was the one who had gone looking for Bupleurum. He smiled and said, "I went there and ran all day, my legs nearly breaking, but I only found six or seven small shoots. The others were about the same. Xie Laowai often travels in the mountains and is more familiar with this herb. He found about ten, but it wasn't enough at the time, so I went to the county town to buy some to feed the pigs."
"Haha, is that so? Then I won't look for it anymore." The woman had thought that Bupleurum was easy to find.
Everyone else heard their conversation. Seeing how hard it was to find Bupleurum, Lin Shan asked, "Huaying, how far did you walk today?"
"I don't know. Anyway, I walked all those mountains before I found these."
Yun Huaying casually pointed to the mountain she had visited before. There were not as many Bupleurum here as she had imagined, but the ones in the backpack were indeed what she found this afternoon, and they were not taken out from the space.
Seeing that she must be exhausted after walking so far, Lin Shan asked on her behalf, "Captain, Huaying doesn't need to go look for Bupleurum tomorrow, right?"
"No need to look for it anymore. The pig is almost healed now. The amount she found will be enough for tomorrow."
"That's good."
Lin Shan felt that it was a bit unfair for her to record ten work points after a hard day in the mountains. Thinking that she must be exhausted, she said, "Huaying, you should go back and rest. Don't cook tonight, just make some vegetable porridge."
Yun Huaying was extremely hungry, and there were so many delicious things in the space, so she didn't want to drink the bland vegetable porridge. However, she didn't say anything and nodded in agreement.
Han Zheng went back with her and helped her deliver Bupleurum to Guo Cuimei on the way. When he arrived home, he didn't even sit down. Instead, he picked up a machete and went to the bamboo forest of the team.
When he came back carrying the bamboo, Yun Huaying was sitting at the door massaging her legs. Remembering that she had to bring back the groundwater from the mountains, she immediately stood up and said, "Han Zheng, thank you. I'll go help carry it."
"Huaying, you rest at home. I've just cut the bamboo. You just need to carry it back. Two trips will be enough."
Han Zheng just saw her massaging her legs. It was obvious that she was tired from walking too much today. He wanted to give her a massage, but they were not in a relationship now, and such behavior would affect her reputation.
Yun Huaying thought she couldn't carry it herself, so she decided not to drag it down. She said, "I'll go cook. You can come to our place for dinner tonight and bring some back for your grandfather."
"Okay, just make two dishes, don't get too tired." Han Zheng said with a smile on his face.
Just two simple dishes is not the way to entertain guests, not to mention that the three of them are exhausted from physical work today. I estimate they can only finish two large bowls of rice. They must eat well, otherwise they will not have the energy to continue tomorrow.
After cooking the rice, I peeled half a pumpkin and stewed it in the pot first, and then prepared other meat dishes in an orderly manner.
