"Eat something first and don't rush. It won't take a day to clean up."
Lin Weiwan pushed the thing towards Wang Qiaoyun, thinking about what he had just said.
Lin Weiwan hadn't really thought too much about whether to leave with Ye Jibai. Instead, she had her own ideas. No matter where the two were, she had to go to school.
"Last time I told you to read more books, have you done it?" Lin Weiwan asked Wang Qiaoyun.
"I've read some, but I don't know how to use some of them anymore." Wang Qiaoyun thought about it carefully. The books were not complete. Some of the ones she found at the scrap recycling station were missing pages.
"Let's read together during this time. My legs need some rest anyway."
Lin Weiwan touched her left leg gently. Chen Lei's knife almost took her life. The amount of blood gushing out of her artery made her still very weak.
If it weren't for the spiritual spring water, I'm afraid I would have really gotten cold. Now this injury will take a while to heal.
On the warm kang, Lin Weiwan and Wang Qiaoyun were studying math problems together.
Apart from the crackling sound of firewood burning in the stove outside the room, the only sound in the room was the scraping of pencils on paper.
Shen Minghua filled Lin Weiwan's water tank with water and watched Wang Qiaoyun skillfully stir-frying shredded potatoes.
Now there are only three of them left in the backyard group of five. Looking at Lin Weiwan sitting there mending clothes, they are afraid that it won't be long before only he and Wang Qiaoyun will be left.
The days passed like running water, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.
The few people at the educated youth center all stayed there obediently and never went out.
Lin Weiwan never left the backyard and took a bath in the spiritual spring water every day. His leg injury was almost healed.
Ye Jibai seemed to have disappeared from her world. Lin Weiwan couldn't figure out why a man wouldn't contact her for so long.
Although he didn't show it on his face, he still calmed down and read and studied to consolidate his knowledge.
Lin Weiwan was not in a hurry, but Wang Qiaoyun could not sit still and sighed twice because she couldn't help it.
"Why don't you go and find out what that Ye guy means? How come he hasn't even said a word after being gone for so long?"
Lin Weiwan went downstairs and made two cups of brown sugar water for the two of them. The boiling water was steaming.
"I don't even know where his home is or where he works, so how can I contact him? If he is sincere, he will come to me on his own.
If he is not sincere or is tied up by something else, I don't care. Life is long, how can I be tied up by a man? "
Lin Weiwan felt that it was a bit too much for Ye Jibai to remain silent and not contact her.
No matter what, I have to say something to myself, but now I feel like I have disappeared into thin air. It turns out that if something is obtained too easily, I will not cherish it.
Wang Qiaoyun paused after hearing what Lin Weiwan said, "You two have been talking for so long, but he never told you about his family?
Is there something wrong with his family? By the way, there is something I have never told you.
This night I always felt that something was a little different, like... you know, he seemed different from us.
I'm not talking about his temperament, I just feel that he is more stable and mature than us, ah...I just feel that he seems to be much better than us."
Wang Qiaoyun finally said what she had always wanted to say, and she felt much better.
Lin Weiwan nodded. She did feel the same way. They were both about 25 or 26 years old. Although Ye Jibai was extremely handsome, he was much better looking than Dong Xiaoqing.
But the overall feeling he gives people is more stable than Dong Xiaoqing, with a feeling of something accumulated over the years.
Lin Weiwan thought that he probably tampered with the files in order to go to the countryside. The actual records...I'm afraid it's really not true.
The weather is getting warmer, and everything in the Northeast Black Market is reviving in the spring. Before the opening, the most important thing for Dongsheng Village is to go up and down the mountain to dig wild vegetables.
In the fields and woods on the hills, people were digging wild vegetables. No matter young or old, man or woman, everyone carried a basket and a shovel.
There has been no green for the whole winter, and now all the elders of the family are out in the field.
Every household has wild vegetable dumplings and cornmeal vegetable dumplings in their steamers.
After eating this for more than ten days, every child had a sad face at mealtime.
Lin Weiwan carefully put the Artemisia buds with roots and soil into the bamboo basket, and then put it away when no one was watching.
Artemisia selengensis is also called water wormwood or white wormwood. It tastes bitter with a fresh fragrance, clears away heat and removes heat, and there are many ways to cook it.
After Lin Weiwan collected some, he changed directions and picked some others.
Most wild vegetables have the effect of clearing away heat and removing pathogens. Lin Weiwan gladly accepted this gift from nature.
Grandma and herbaceous plants came across a Chinese toon tree. Lin Weiwan looked around and confirmed that no one had put the tree and the soil into the space.
Only a pit was left there, and Lin Weiwan realized how addictive it was to dig wild vegetables. He dug for three days before gradually stopping.
Carrying the bamboo basket, he walked down the mountain, "Have you been abandoned by Ye Zhiqing?"
Shen Zhenzhu followed with a basket of vegetables, and when she saw Lin Weiwan walking in front of her, she walked straight up to him.
Lin Weiwan looked at Shen Zhenzhu. There was a real difference between the current Shen Zhenzhu and the arrogant Shen Zhenzhu in the past.
"You want to find out about him, right?" Lin Weiwan didn't beat around the bush.
She naturally saw what Shen Zhenzhu was thinking, but deliberately provoking her to get information was not going to work on her.
Although she felt really uncomfortable hearing this, she had to bear the blame on Ye Jibai.
"Why don't you pretend anymore? Didn't you keep an eye on your man? It's been two months, aren't you worried when there's been no news from him?"
Shen Zhenzhu asked a series of rhetorical questions, and the smile on her face grew wider with each question.
"Do you know that your current behavior is no different from those people who were captured?" Lin Weiwan stopped and looked at Shen Zhenzhu deeply.
Shen Zhenzhu then stopped, her expression changed and she laughed again.
"Lin Weiwan, stop scaring people here. I'm just chatting with you. Don't use the accusation against me."
Shen Zhenzhu looked fearless, her eyes swept across the foot of the mountain but stopped.
Lin Weiwan followed Shen Zhenzhu's gaze and saw the tall figure at the foot of the mountain.
However, Shen Zhenzhu ran towards Ye Jibai at the foot of the mountain faster than Lin Weiwan.
"Ye Zhiqing, you're back. I was just talking to Xiaowan about you, but I didn't expect you to be so obsessed with it."
Shen Zhenzhu's excitement was mixed with a hint of shyness. She suppressed her excitement and her face turned red with excitement.
Ye Jibai's eyes were only on Lin Weiwan. He subconsciously took two steps aside when he saw Shen Zhenzhu chattering beside him.
Lin Weiwan looked at Ye Jibai and couldn't help but feel excited. It would be a lie to say that he hadn't thought about him after not seeing him for more than two months.
Just looking at Ye Jibai, I thought about how this person had been silent for more than two months, as if he had disappeared, and I couldn't laugh.
