When the double harvest season began, Zhuang Zhimeng would brew herbal tea and mung bean soup every morning, noon, and afternoon and deliver them to the commune members who were going to work.
Of course, the ingredients were all provided by the brigade. Zhuang Zhimeng was only responsible for cooking them, putting them in buckets, and then delivering them.
Zhuang Zhimeng delivered the rice to the field that Jiang Yanxia was in charge of; she was currently transplanting rice seedlings there.
Zhuang Zhimeng greeted her.
"Xiazi, come up and have some herbal tea, then you can continue transplanting rice seedlings."
Jiang Yanxia straightened up only after hearing Zhimeng's voice.
Seeing Zhimeng meant there would be herbal tea, so he quickly walked towards Zhuang Zhimeng.
"Wow, Zhimeng, I'm so happy to see you! I was so thirsty!"
Zhuang Zhimeng laughed.
"Hehe, hurry up and drink, you still have time to joke around!"
Jiang Yanxia smiled, sipped her herbal tea, and pointed to her achievements, asking Zhuang Zhimeng.
"Hehe, Zhimeng, how is it? Looks pretty good, right? I can transplant rice seedlings neatly and quickly now!"
Zhuang Zhimeng nodded repeatedly in praise of her.
"Not bad, it really looks quite neat. Looks like you've really mastered it!"
Jiang Yanxia became smug.
"Well then, tell me! It wasn't something you mastered through practice!"
Suddenly Jiang Yanxia cried out.

Zhuang Zhimeng looked down and saw that they were bloodsucking leeches.
Zhuang Zhimeng went over and held her down.
"Don't move! Let me help you deal with this. There's a leech!"
Zhuang Zhimeng gently patted Jiang Yanxia's leg, and the leech fell off.
Then Zhuang Zhimeng took out salt from her pocket and sprinkled it on the leeches, which slowly died.
Zhuang Zhimeng handed the small bottle containing salt directly to Jiang Yanxia.
"Alright, Xiazi, be careful. If you encounter another leech, shake it off. If you can't shake it off, sprinkle salt on it!"
Jiang Yanxia then smiled and asked Zhuang Zhimeng.
"Hehe, Zhimeng, what would I do without you?"
"Of course we should go find Meng Ge'er!"
