Seeing that the other party was very enthusiastic and that the girl was about the same age as the girl from the Zhou family, Xiao Ya's grandmother asked, "Miss, do you know where Zhou Xinghong's home is?"
The round-faced girl smiled and said, "Of course you don't know. Just follow this road inward, turn left by the locust tree, and it's the first house in the third row."
"Aunt Cao, are you here to see Xinghong?"
Xiaoya's grandmother said vaguely: "Well... let's take a look..."
The round-faced girl rolled her eyes and said, "Xinghong might not be home at this time. She must be working in the fields!"
Grandma Xiaoya thanked the round-faced girl and headed towards the fields of Zhoujia Village. The round-faced girl smiled and said, "It's a good opportunity for me to go to the fields too."
When we got there, we found Zhou Xinghong weeding in the fields wearing a straw hat. There was a dark-faced boy beside her, offering her water and helping her with her work.
Zhou Xinghong didn't pay much attention to the black-faced boy.
The round-faced girl muttered, "That black guy, all he does is try to curry favor with Xinghong all day long! He doesn't even consider whether Xinghong likes him or not! His family is poor, and he's not good-looking! Xinghong has so many suitors, who does he think he is?"
Xiaoya’s grandmother didn’t look very happy.
"Miss, I heard that the girl from the Zhou family is very popular in the village?"
The round-faced girl covered her mouth and laughed, "How could that be bad? She's pretty, and there are so many people who like her! Not to mention the men, even us women like her!"
She pointed at the black spots in the ground again.
"There are many people like Heizi who are attentive to Xinghong every day! But Xinghong is so good, he can't reach her!"
Xiaoya's grandmother said nothing, looked at her again before turning around and going home.
Before leaving, she asked the round-faced girl again: "Whose family are you from?"
The round-faced girl smiled and said, "I'm Zhou Xiaomei, and my cousin is Zhou Xianyong, the captain of our brigade."
Xiaoya's grandmother said "Oh" and smiled, "I know your parents. I didn't expect you to be this big!"
Zhou Xiaomei, a round-faced girl, asked in surprise, "Auntie, do you still remember me? I remember playing with Jianguo when I was little!"
Xiaoya's grandmother nodded: "Yes, you remember it too? You were only four or five years old at that time, right? Later I heard that you grew up at your grandmother's house?"
Zhou Xiaomei chatted with Xiaoya's grandmother for a few more words, and then sent her to the main road before turning around and going home.
When Xiaoya's grandmother returned home and looked at her little son coming home from work, she felt so sad! Forget it, let's go for a walk in the mountains! The air in the mountains is good, and it can also relax your body and mind.
Zhou Xianyong hurried back to Zhoujia Village, had a brief discussion with the brigade secretary and accountant, and then convened a brigade meeting.
When the villagers of Zhoujia Village heard about the opportunity to make money, they were very enthusiastic about learning to grow herbs. For them, growing crops was one thing, and growing herbs was similar.
The next day, technician Li went to the county town early in the morning to pick up Dr. Qi and his apprentices, including Pueraria lobata and Polygala tenuifolia. Together with Qin Zhongyi, they introduced the common herbs in the mountains to Wangjia Village and Zhoujia Village.
Now the members were enlightened. It turns out that the wild vegetables they often dig can be used as medicine.
You can pick up handfuls of shepherd's purse, dandelion, plantain, and Xanthium sibiricum on the roadside.
Talking without practice is just empty talk. A few people took the members up the mountain to identify various herbs on the spot and pointed out the key points to pay attention to when digging them.
Some people study seriously, while others are distracted.
Jianguo looked around and finally saw Zhou Xinghong in the crowd.
Zhou Xinghong was wearing old clothes and a straw hat, and she was carrying a basket with a small hoe in it. It was clear from her appearance that she was well prepared.
Jianguo quietly moved towards Zhou Xinghong in the crowd.
Halfway through, he ran into Zhiyuan, the captain's third son. Zhiyuan grinned at him. Jianguo patted him on the shoulder, and together they moved towards Zhoujia Village.
Zhou Xinghong was so engrossed in listening to Dr. Qin's introduction to Chinese medicine that she didn't even notice Jianguo squeeze in next to her. When Dr. Qin mentioned going up the mountain, she finally saw Jianguo standing beside her, smiling.
Zhou Xinghong held her forehead in her hand speechlessly. She whispered, "Go back to your team!"
Not far away, Zhiyuan approached Zhou Xiaomei and spoke to her in a low voice.
Jianjun and Chunhua watched Cao Jianguo being driven away by Zhou Xinghong, and looked at this silly brother speechlessly.
"Fortunately, our mother is not here, otherwise she would definitely feel uncomfortable!" Chunhua hit the nail on the head.
Chunhua didn't know what was happening, and Grandma Xiaoya was just behind the crowd.
She definitely wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity. Last time, Zhou Xiaomei said that many people in Zhoujia Village liked Zhou Xinghong. She wanted to see how many people there were.
However, she stood on tiptoe and looked for a long time, but she only saw Zhou Xinghong listening attentively to the teacher in front of her, without looking around, and she didn't even notice that Jianguo squeezed next to her for a long time.
On the contrary, Zhou Xiaomei was dressed up in a flashy way, and it was obvious that she didn't look like someone who was ready to work.
Xiaoya's grandmother frowned. She had thought that Zhou Laoer's family would produce a good child. But now, that might not be the case.
Xiaoya’s grandmother couldn’t see anything and went back home.
When winter comes and the first light snow falls from the sky, the people in Wangjia Village and Zhoujia Village can skillfully distinguish dozens of common medicinal herbs from various leaves, grasses and wild vegetables.
The Daqing Mountain is lush with vegetation and has a pleasant climate. It feels like a fairyland, unaffected by the outside world.
The snow was not heavy, and the children were playing wildly in the snow, with bursts of cheerful laughter coming from time to time.
The adults sat with their hands in their sleeves, watching the children having fun in the snow.
The Lin family compound was quiet. Qin Zhongyi and Lin Zhidong had returned to the provincial capital a few days earlier to celebrate the New Year with their families. Before leaving, Qin Zhongyi played matchmaker.
He helped Technician Li propose a marriage to the Feng family.
This is a long story, but recently all the unmarried men and women in Wangjia Village have become popular.
Master Ma has been very busy lately. Although the people of Wangjia Village don't use him much, people from other groups still look for him!
He gradually figured out that the reason why the people in Wangjia Village didn't look for him was because of the Feng family!
They went to ask Old Lady Feng for advice on all matters, big or small. Since it was Old Lady Feng, he didn't dare to compete with her for business.
That little fairy from the Feng family could kill him with just a flick of her finger. Is she just bored? How dare she compete with Old Lady Feng for business!
I don’t know where the fairy’s aunt comes from, and no one has ever come to propose marriage to her!
Just when he was wondering, someone came to propose marriage to Lianhua!
The person who acted as a matchmaker was Qin Zhongyi.
The man is Technician Li, who is always hardworking, conscientious and reliable.
Old Lady Feng was quite welcoming to Qin Zhongyi, but when she heard that he was going to propose marriage to Lianhua, she was quite surprised.
The Feng family was different from other families. For generations, they had accepted live-in sons-in-law. Even though they were live-in sons-in-law, the Feng family had very strict requirements for them. Everyone in the neighborhood knew this, so few people proposed marriage to Lianhua.
After all, from ancient times to the present, the son-in-law who lives with his wife's family is usually forced to do so. Any man with a little bit of potential would not choose to be a son-in-law who lives with his wife's family.
However, the Feng family was better off than most, so there were always those who coveted their wealth. However, since everyone lived close together, everyone in the neighborhood knew everyone's character. Furthermore, the Feng family had always been quite prestigious, so no one had ever succeeded.
