At around four o'clock on Monday afternoon, Han Zheng and Yun Huaying rented an ox cart in the county town and staggered all the way back to the production team.
Yun Huaying is usually in good health, but she has been very tired from traveling recently. The quilt in the car was too thin, and she accidentally caught a cold. Although she took cold medicine in time, she was very listless and tired, and she fell asleep leaning on Han Zheng all the way.
"Jacaranda."
Lin Shan was working in the fields. She saw her coming back from a distance and immediately shouted at the top of her lungs.
Yun Huaying's throat felt dry and itchy, and she couldn't shout. She raised her hand and waved at them.
Lin Shan thought she didn't have the key on her, so she said something to the scorer and ran back to give her the key.
"Zhengzi, Huaying, you're back."
Grandma Han did not go to work in the fields. She was sitting at the door sewing clothes. When she saw her grandson and his friends come back, she immediately got up and went down.
"Grandma (Grandma Han)." The two of them immediately called for help.
Grandma Han came over with a smile on her face. Seeing that Yun Huaying looked very haggard, her lips were pale, not as rosy and bright as when she left, and she looked listless, she hurriedly asked, "Huaying, are you feeling unwell?"
"Grandma, Huaying has a cold. She just vomited on the bus on the way back. She has no strength left in her body." Han Zheng felt so distressed to see her like this.
"Oh, you have a cold, have you taken medicine?"
"Grandma Han, I took the medicine and I'm fine. I'm just tired from traveling. I'll be fine after going home and having a good sleep and rest for a day." Yun Huaying said to her with energy.
Lin Shan ran back quickly and heard what they were saying. She called out to her elders before speaking to her, "Huaying, are you feeling unwell?"
"Nothing. I caught a cold in the car and I'm tired."
Seeing that she was not thinner except for a little mental fatigue, Lin Shan quickly took out the key to open the door and helped them carry their luggage into the house. She said to her, "Huaying, give me a cold-dispelling medicine bag. I'll boil a pot of water for you now. Take a good bath to drive out the cold."
In the past, when she caught a cold in the winter, she would boil water with the medicine bag made with Yunhuaying and take a bath. She didn't need to take any medicine at all. She just took a warm and comfortable hot bath and sweated it out and she would be fine.
"I've been sitting in the car for three days and I'm so dirty. I urgently need to take a shower." Yun Huaying said weakly.
"Three days of train travel? Aren't you going to Xintian County? Why does it take so long to travel within the province?" Lin Shan didn't know that she had been to many places during this period, and naturally didn't know that she had returned from Jinling.
"I went somewhere else. I'll tell you later."
"good."
Lin Shan didn't ask any more questions and hurried to the kitchen to boil some hot water for her.
Grandma Han also pulled her grandson aside to ask, "Is everything going well for the Yun family? Did Shaofan and his family settle down in Jinling?"
"Grandma, everything went smoothly. Uncle Yun and his family have settled down in Jinling. We'll discuss the details when we get home." Han Zheng was also anxious to go back and take a shower. He asked her, "Grandma, is there any hot water at home?"
"I'll go back and burn it. You help Huaying pack her luggage and come back to take a shower later." Grandma Han said to Yun Huaying and turned around to go back.
Lin Shan boiled a full pot of water, put the medicine bag in and boiled it, then came over to help, "Brother Zheng, you go back, I'll help Huaying clean up."
Han Zheng nodded and said to Yun Huaying, "Huaying, after taking a shower, lie down and sleep, and take another pill."
Yun Huaying had no strength left. She sat on the bed and didn't want to move. She nodded her head blankly.
They brought back nearly ten bags. Han Zheng only had two small packages, and the rest were all Yun Huaying's. Lin Shan helped her pack them bit by bit. Seeing that they were all new clothes, shoes, and various foods, she asked, "Huaying, why did you buy so many clothes?"
"I didn't buy it. My uncle and aunt bought it for me."
Lin Shan paused, turned around and looked at her with a surprised expression: "You went to see your uncle and aunt? How are they?"
"This time, I went to Xinjin City first, then to Xintian County. After the trial of that scumbag couple was over, Han Zheng and I went to Sichuan Province. We took my uncle and his family off the farm and sent them to Jinling."
"Oh my god, you've been to so many places."
Lin Shan quickly stuffed all her luggage into the locker, locked it, and came over to chat with her in detail: "Are your uncles and the others in good health? Have they suffered in recent years?"
"My aunt isn't in good health, but the others are in relatively good health. They've suffered a lot."
She didn't elaborate, but Lin Shan could guess. Back in Jing County, she'd seen many high-ranking intellectuals and capitalists being taken for struggle sessions and education. She felt incredibly uncomfortable just thinking about that scene. She pulled her aside and asked, "Huaying, they've left the farm now. Are their sufferings over?"
"Well, it's all over."
Yun Huaying stretched her pale lips and told her the truth: "It was the Han family who helped. Otherwise, with my ability, I would not be able to take them away from the farm."
Lin Shan didn't know the Han family's background, but she could vaguely guess that they were not simple. She asked her, "Why did you settle your uncle and his family in Jinling? You are in Yang County, why don't you bring them to live in the county town? We are close and can help take care of them a little bit."
"Han Zheng's parents are in Jinling, and my uncle's family will be safer with their care and protection. If I were to bring them to Yang County, it would be very easy for the Yun family's enemies to track them down."
Lin Shan understood and wisely stopped asking questions. She said cautiously, "Huaying, everyone on the team only knows that you went to Xintian County to deal with that scumbag. When they ask about it later, just tell them about the scumbag. I won't leak anything, not even Jiang Yuan."
Yun Huaying curled her lips and smiled slightly, then nodded.
Lin Shan didn't say any more about this. She got up and went to the kitchen, pouring her a cup of hot tea. "Huaying, the work in the fields isn't finished yet. I still have to go work for half an hour. Have a cup of hot tea first, and then you can get some water to take a bath. We'll come back later to cook dinner, and we'll call you to eat when it's ready."
"Is there a lot of work in the fields lately?" Yun Huaying asked.
"It's not too much. I worked for three days after you left, and it rained for four days straight. I spent those three days weeding and turning the soil in the fields. But the autumn harvest is in two days, so I'll be busy again."
"Okay, go ahead and get busy."
After Lin Shan left, Yun Huaying finished her hot tea, got up and packed a set of clean clothes. After the hot water in the kitchen was boiled, she carried a large bucket of steaming hot medicine into the space to take a bath.
After taking a shower, I went straight to sleep in the space, took advantage of the time difference and had a good sleep, and didn't come out until it was time to finish work outside.
Lin Shan and the others prepared the evening meal. They had originally planned to eat knife-cut noodles, which had been fermented early. Seeing that Yun Huaying was not feeling well, they cooked a pot of light red date millet porridge for her to supplement her nutrition.
