"Aunt Huilan, I see that you and Captain Uncle really care about your daughter."
"Yes, she is the youngest daughter of your captain uncle and I. Of course we should feel sorry for her, but we can't let her think that we favor boys over girls."
"She's the apple of my eye and your captain's eye. We hope she can live a good life and have an easier time than we do now, working so hard every day."
"Other people in the village treat their daughters as money-losing goods and don't let them go to school, but your captain and I are eager for her to go to school and learn more."
"Yes, Aunt Huilan, I guess there's no one else in this village who cares about his daughter as much as you do."
"Everyone else treats their daughters as money-losing goods, cursing and swearing all day long, hoping to find a wealthy family with good conditions for their daughters to marry, so that they can extort money from them."
"Don't you see that your own daughter is like that? She's so picky and ambitious, wanting to marry into a rich family. Don't you think about yourself? Can a rich man with good conditions be interested in her?"
"Alas, Tang girl, I am also a woman. Shu Meng is the flesh that fell from my body. I don't want her to suffer the same hardships that I have suffered."
"I don't want her to marry a rich man either. As long as she can find a down-to-earth, capable man who treats her well and can live a decent life with him, that's enough."
"Aunt Huilan, just relax. I believe that Sister Shumeng will definitely leave our mountain village and live a happy life."
After listening to Tang Shiyan's instructions, everyone dispersed and looked for medicinal herbs everywhere.
Suddenly a voice came, "Wow, I found some big Ganoderma lucidum." Tang Shiyan walked over to take a look and said, "These Ganoderma lucidum are several years old."
"When you sell it, it will definitely fetch a good price. You must protect it well and don't damage it."
When the person heard what Tang Shiyan said, she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She didn't expect that she would have such a big harvest on the first day of collecting herbs.
Time flies so fast, and it’s getting dark again.
Everyone packed up the herbs, put on their backpacks and headed home. Today's harvest was good, and everyone was chatting and laughing while walking. After a while, they arrived at their respective homes.
When Tang Shiyan returned home, she saw Xia Jinnian cooking in the kitchen. Looking at his handsome face, she wanted to run over and take a big bite of him.
But she is a girl, she can't take the initiative, otherwise people will think that you, a girl, don't know how to be reserved.
"Jinnian, is the meal almost ready? Do you need my help?"
"Yan Yan, no need, it's almost done, just sit there and take a rest, you've been tired all day."
"Well, since you don't need my help, I'll just sit here and rest. Wouldn't it be nice to sit and wait for you to serve it to me?"
"You've been tired all day, so you should eat something ready-made. I have nothing to do all day anyway. I'm either lying or sitting, and I can't go out to help you with work."
"I would like to go out, but I'm afraid of getting you into trouble. Then I won't be able to explain myself."
"Haha, you'd better stay indoors. If you go out and get seen by others, I don't know how those aunts will gossip about you."
"Anyway, the work I do isn't tiring. At my speed, I usually work half and play half. Besides, it's enough for you to prepare dinner at home and wait for me to come back to eat."
"Oh, by the way, Yanyan, didn't you say that the captain would arrange some people to go with you to the hillside to collect medicinal herbs today?
"How was it? Did anyone deliberately pick on you?"
"Don't worry about that. I've dealt with all those who have been looking for trouble. They don't even notice who I am. As long as they are not afraid of death, they can come."
"Did you gather any herbs today? Did those people learn it?"
"Of course we came back with a lot of rewards with me here. Those people are pretty smart and have good memories, so they can learn quickly."
"That's good. That way, you won't have to go to the hillside every day to teach them about medicinal herbs and how to pick them."
Well, how can I take them to pick herbs every day? I have my own things to do.
"It should be enough to teach them for two more days."
The two chatted, and soon Xia Jinnian came to the table with food.
Today he made braised fish, pork rib soup, shredded cabbage, and cold cucumber salad.
Tang Shiyan felt very hungry looking at these dishes, and she must eat another bowl of rice.
Xia Jinnian served the rice and handed it to Tang Shiyan, "Yanyan, I'll serve you a bowl of rice first. You should eat quickly. You must be hungry after running all over the mountains with those people looking for medicinal herbs today."
Tang Shiyan took the food and said, "Jinnian, you know what, seeing you cook such delicious dishes, I am indeed a little hungry."
"Then hurry up and eat. I'll get you a bowl of pork rib soup."
Yeah, Jinnian, come and eat quickly, otherwise I will eat all the food in a moment.
"Haha, that proves that the food I cook is very much to your liking."
"Yan Yan, have you ever heard of a saying?"
"What?"
"If you want to capture a person, you must first learn to capture her stomach."
"Does this count as catching you?"
"Haha, if you want to catch me, it depends on your performance."
"Yes, Yanyan, I will definitely perform well and will never let you down."
"I hope you'll keep your word and stop trying to paint me a picture of something you're not going to sell me. I'm not buying that."
"A gentleman's word is as good as gold. Yanyan, just wait and see."
