Two days passed in a flash. During these two days, Shi Zhentang had to help the village measure the land, and Tian Yuzhu went up the mountain to collect herbs in a hurry.
As for the matter of being her assistant, Shi Weiqiang naturally fell into the hands of her.
This guy has a simple mind and strong limbs, making him best suited for physical work.
Once Tian Yuzhu saw the medicinal herbs, she would just point and ask him to dig them.
The first day of digging herbs in the mountains went smoothly and we found quite a lot. On the second day, we moved to another hill to continue digging.
Shi Weiqiang carried the hoe, bamboo basket and other items on his back, and he dug very hard when he saw the medicine.
Seeing him sweating profusely while digging, Tian Yuzhu, who was drinking water from a military canteen, decided to test him at this moment: "Third Brother, have you thought it over? You really don't want to have a correspondence with Zhang Xiaoling. Let's talk about it first."
"Who is Zhang Xiaoling?" Shi Weiqiang pretended to be confused.
Seeing the second sister-in-law glaring at him, he quickly became serious: "No, what's the point of me contacting her? We are so far away, thousands of mountains and rivers away. Could it be that I really go to her house and become a son-in-law?
Anyway, I listen to your second sister-in-law. Now you should learn to read and prepare well. Then you can get a driver's license in the future and drive a truck like that cement truck driver.
"That's a good idea, but you need to learn math as well. Otherwise, what will you do when you lose count of how many bags of cement you've pulled?"
"Yes, I didn't expect this. Starting tomorrow, I will ask Mr. Xu to give me extra math lessons."
"Also..." Tian Yuzhu said seriously, "You have to take care of your grandfather. We can't just recognize him and do nothing. He has a hard time living alone. Now the land has been divided into individual accounts. You have to help him farm in the future. Your second brother and I will not treat you unfairly."
"What are you talking about, second sister-in-law? He is also my godfather. This is what I should do." Shi Weiqiang said as he dug out the herbs, knocked the dirt off the roots of the herbs on the ground, and put them into the bamboo basket.
"By the way, sister-in-law, I will also take care of Sister Tian Ying."
Shi Weiqiang's words made Tian Yuzhu pause in tightening the lid. She pondered and continued to tighten the lid: "Don't worry about my sister. She has returned to her parents' home now. I have taken care of her affairs there. No one will beat her anymore. Don't worry."
"No, Sister Tian Ying is too easy to be bullied!"
"Third brother..."
Tian Yuzhu raised her voice, pretending to be a little angry: "I told you, you can't get so close to my sister anymore, or people will gossip about you."
Shi Weiqiang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stiffened his neck and said, "I'm not afraid."
"But my sister is afraid." Tian Yuzhu sighed, "Third brother, you are still young. As long as you study hard, you can find any girl in the future. My sister...she is not suitable for you. If you two are together, she will be unhappy for the rest of her life."
Shi Weiqiang suddenly became anxious: "Why?"
"Because you can handle other people's gossip, but she can't. If there really is something going on between you two, with her personality, she will never be able to hold her head up high in her life and will have to keep her tail between her legs forever.
Third brother, you have also seen how happy my sister is these days when she came to our house to learn how to make clothes, because she has realized her own value. If she were to get involved with you again, she would feel ashamed.
In front of me and the villagers, she will never be able to hold her head up high and will be unhappy for the rest of her life. Do you want to see her like that?"
"I……"
Shi Weiqiang concluded at a loss as to what to say.
He has been very conflicted during this period of time. On the one hand, he likes to be with Tian Ying, but on the other hand, he feels that they are not suitable to continue to be together. He doesn't know whether he feels sympathy or love for each other.
He couldn't tell the difference anymore!
Hearing what my second sister-in-law said at this moment, I felt indescribable discomfort in my heart, as if a ball of cotton was pressing on me and making it impossible to breathe.
Tian Yuzhu stood up, walked in front of him, and patted his shoulder: "A short pain is worse than a long pain. You and her really have no future. Time will make you forget your feelings for her. Liking someone doesn't necessarily mean you have to own her. Letting her go and making her happy and blessed is also a way."
Shi Weiqiang's eyes flushed, and he gritted his teeth: "Okay, second sister-in-law, I'll listen to you."
Unexpectedly, when the sister-in-law and uncle came back from digging herbs, the house was so lively.
The aroma of food wafted through the courtyard, and laughter could be heard from the kitchen.
And when I listened, it was actually Tian Ying's voice.
Is my sister here?
Tian Yuzhu instinctively turned around to look at Shi Weiqiang. This guy had naturally heard the sound. He was stunned for a moment, took down the bamboo basket and put it in the corner of the courtyard wall: "Second sister-in-law, I forgot that the private plot has not been dug yet. I have to go dig the ground."
After saying that, he turned around and left!!!
Tian Yuzhu sighed and shook her head. She pulled herself together and went into the kitchen: "Sister, you're here?"
Tian Ying smiled and said, "I told Mom you guys were going back to the army soon. I missed you so much I had to come and see you, so here we are. Hey, didn't Wei Qiang say he was going to dig herbs with you? Where is he?"
As she spoke, she looked out the kitchen door and Tian Yuzhu explained, "He went digging."
"Oh!" Tian Ying calmly withdrew his gaze.
Tian Yuzhu said with a smile: "Then I'll go see mom, sister-in-law, you've worked hard!"
Su Zhen turned her head away while busying herself: "What's the hard work? It's rare for my aunt to come. Go quickly!"
"Why!"
…
Ever since he met his youngest daughter, Yang Xiu thought about her all day long. Knowing that she was about to return to the army, he brought Tian Ying to Lao Shi's house.
It's funny that although the youngest daughter has been married to Shi Zhentang for so long, she only knew where the Shi family was and what the new dean was like today.
After the mother and daughter entered the yard and talked for a while, Tian Ying went to help Su Zhen in the kitchen.
Yang Xiu, however, sat awkwardly on the kang in the main room and talked to the old lady.
Although she had been cautious all her life, she became more courageous when she thought of her daughter, and her conversation with the old lady was also very sincere: "If Yuzhu hadn't had you to protect her, she wouldn't have the blessing she has today. Auntie, thank you so much!"
The old lady knew that Yang Xiu was a miserable person, so she said casually: "We can't say that. It is a blessing for our Shi family that Zhentang can marry her. Don't you say, this girl is very lucky. We all praise her as the lucky star of the old Shi family."
Hearing this, Yang Xiu was overwhelmed with emotion: "Auntie, you didn't see how Yuzhu was when she was in Tianjia Village. Even the children in the village could bully her. She..."
"Mom, grandma."
Before Yang Xiu could finish his words, Tian Yuzhu arrived in time.
When she heard those two words outside the door, she naturally hurried into the house.
If I continue, I'm afraid the old lady will become suspicious. The original owner was indeed extremely stupid when she was in Tianjia Village. Not to mention resisting children, she couldn't even speak a coherent sentence.
"Jade beads."
Looking at the pretty girl who walked in, Yang Xiuxi asked, "You're back?"
The old lady said, "You've worked hard, would you like some water?"
