In the end, under Shen Yao's various deceptions, Xu Dani chose a lot of things to take back. After returning home, she found that she had been deceived by that devilish girl again.
At noon, Shen Yao didn't want to cook, so she took out a bowl of beef with rice from the kitchen and ate it, and also took out a few duck racks to gnaw on.
She has now completely adapted to the life of this era. Although it is a difficult time and materials are extremely scarce, she likes the environment here very much. The air is now very fresh and free of impurities, unlike in later times when air pollution was particularly serious.
For example, vegetables and fruits, in later generations, were almost all grown with drugs. On the contrary, wild vegetables were sold at a very high price. She remembered that the most expensive toon sprouts she had ever bought were 90 yuan per pound.
However, here, not only are there wild vegetables growing all over the mountains, but even the edible vegetables are all grown naturally.
Well water in this era can be drunk raw and still has a hint of sweetness, which will last for decades.
As the country continues to develop, well water in rural areas is no longer drinkable, and it is considered good enough to be able to use it.
Alas, Shen Yao felt that this might be due to different times and different moods.
In the afternoon, Shen Yao lay on a chair and read a book. There was no sunshine today, but it was not cold, so she took out the original owner's study books.
Looking at the textbooks from the first semester of her senior year, she found that the content at that time was really simple, and was nothing like the textbooks used decades later. She still remembers how hard it was for her to get through her senior year of high school.
Shen Yao's face was filled with tears. She felt how hard her study was in her previous life. She even thought about studying during meal times. The textbooks she has now are nothing like the ones for her senior year of high school. The books for her freshman year of high school were not as difficult as those for her.
In less than an hour, she had finished reading the senior high school textbooks. There were fewer subjects now, and because of her training, she could read ten lines at a glance, so she memorized things much faster than usual.
Shen Yao put the book aside and was in a daze. She calculated that she could stay in the mountains for five to six days this time and would come back on the first day of her birthday. After all, she didn't want to spend that day in the mountains.
By the way, she also had to say hello to the aunt and the others, otherwise it would be bad to make them worry, and she also told them about the work.
I looked at the time and it was still early. I had nothing to do anyway, so I decided to go to my aunt's house and play with Sister Xiaoqiu.
"Auntie, Sister Xiaoqiu, are you home?" Shen Yao saw that the gate was not locked, so she walked in.
"Hey - here I come." As soon as the words fell, Shen Qiu rushed out.
"Yaoyao is here, come in quickly."
Xu Dani sighed and shook her head at her young lady. She was really hopeless and not stable at all.
"Auntie, I'm sorry to bother you."
"It's nothing to disturb you. You are so polite, come in quickly."
She was just making a cotton-padded jacket for the girl in the house. There was nothing else to do. It was the end of the year and everyone wanted to have a good rest because they would have to start working again after the New Year.
"Auntie, I just came to tell you that I'm going to go out to the mountains to collect herbs tomorrow, and it may take a few days for me to come back."
Shen Yao sat on a stool and told Xu Dani her purpose. She knew that if she didn't tell her, she would be away from home for a few days and would not be able to explain the reason.
She even made up an excuse, saying that she had learned how to identify medicinal herbs from an old Chinese medicine practitioner, so she wanted to go to the mountains to collect some herbs to repay him.
"What? You want to go into the mountains?"
When Xu Dani heard that the girl was going into the mountains, she was so scared that she stood up. This girl was too brave. Even adult men didn't dare to enter those deep mountains.
Shen Qiu also reacted at this time, and looked at Shen Yao worriedly, "Yaoyao, what are you doing in the mountains? There are many big insects in the deep mountains."
Shen Yao also knew their concerns. After all, even those with hunting skills in the village were reluctant to go in, for fear that they might accidentally encounter a ferocious beast and never come back.
"Auntie, Sister Xiaoqiu, don't worry, I'm very strong. And I won't go deep into the mountains, I'll go to the middle of the mountains."
Xu Dani still looked scared. She had to be afraid. If anything happened, how would she explain it to Guilan and her husband? "Yaoyao, what's the matter with you going to the mountains?"
Shen Yao took Xu Dani's hand and smiled slightly, "Auntie, actually I have secretly learned medicine from an old Chinese medicine doctor before. He has not been in good health recently and cannot go to collect herbs, so I want to collect some herbs for him."
"That's true, but it's too dangerous in there. If a little girl like you goes into the mountains and something happens, what are we going to do?"
Xu Dani also knew that one should be grateful and repay kindness. Since the other person taught Yaoyao knowledge, she should repay the favor, but she was still worried.
"Yaoyao, I'll go with you then."
Although Shen Qiu was afraid to go into the mountains, she had no choice but to rush in for Yaoyao, otherwise it would be too dangerous for Yaoyao to go alone.
"Auntie, Sister Xiaoqiu, I will definitely be careful about my safety. Really. Besides, you all saw me scolding the Ye family that day. I can protect myself."
Xu Dani recalled the scene of the girl breaking the big rock that day, and she felt a little relieved. Then she thought that the girl was very assertive now, and she would make a decision that even ten oxen could not change. "Then Yaoyao, how many days are you going to be gone? Are you really just going to the mountains to hunt?"
"Auntie, I may be gone for four or five days because I have a lot of herbs to collect. Also, I really only go to the mountains. I promise to come back intact."
Even if I go to the mountains, can I tell others about this? Of course not.
"Okay, then you have to come back safely." Xu Dani had no choice but to compromise with this girl.
"I will. By the way, Auntie, there is one more thing. I want to transfer out of the job quota in the county. You know I want to go to college, so I can't use that quota."
Shen Yao felt that it was a good time to talk about it now, and that they should have a good discussion over the next few days. There should be a result by the time she returned from the mountains.
Xu Dani was silent. She knew what Yao Yatou said was true. The county town quota was originally for her to take the class after graduating from high school. But now she had to continue her studies, so she really didn't need the job.
"Yaoyao, I'll discuss this with your uncle tonight and we'll talk about it when you come back."
"Okay, then Auntie, I'll go back first. I need to prepare when I get back."
"Okay, then you remember to be careful, okay?" She started to worry again when she said this, but she couldn't convince the girl.
"Okay, I will." Shen Yao said and walked out.
She had to go back and plan carefully, and then prepare all the tools and weapons in the space, so that she could use them when there was an emergency. After all, one should never fight a battle without preparation.
