Chapter 211 You are doubting me
The next morning, Zhang Hongqi and several girls who had graduated from junior high school in the village went to the county silk reeling factory to register.
Yu Wanqing went to work in the morning and after earning eight work points, he began to work in the afternoon, carrying a backpack and entering the mountain from the west. No one lived here, and on weekdays few people came here to chop wood.
The mountains here were very high, so she quickened her pace and quickly climbed up the first high mountain, then followed the slope to the deep mountains behind.
If someone saw her, they would find that she was like a nimble monkey at this moment, relying on vines and trees to quickly move from one mountain to another.
After passing through two mountains, she stopped and began to look around for medicinal herbs.
She planned to make more body-toning pills for her parents and needed some fresh herbs.
Few people come to Xishan, so there might be some wild medicinal herbs there.
Of course, it is somewhat unrealistic to expect to dig ginseng in the mountains of the south.
The main medicinal herbs in the mountains of Nanfu are Amomum villosum, Patchouli, Alpinia officinarum, Polygonum multiflorum..., and the fresh herbs she needed this time were all available in Beishan, but the barefoot doctors in the village would also go into the mountains to collect herbs, so the aged herbs from Beishan had already been brought to the small clinic in the village.
In just half an hour, Yu Wanqing collected all the herbs she needed.
She also found a lot of wild fruits, and she picked them all and took them back to give to the children in the village to eat.
As she walked, Yu Wanqing sensed danger approaching. She turned around and saw a huge snake as thick as an adult man's arm passing through several large trees and coming straight towards her.
She could feel that the big snake wanted to kill her.
She sneered and waved her hand. Several vines flew out from not far away and directly stopped the powerful python.
Immediately afterwards, a vine as thick as a thumb lashed over and knocked the python to the ground.
Yu Wanqing broke off a branch and condensed her wood-related supernatural power on the branch. When the giant snake attacked again, she quickly moved and stabbed the giant snake with the branch in her hand.
She had a kitchen knife in her hand and chopped the snake into several pieces in a short while.
Everything happened so quickly that it would have been terrifying for anyone who witnessed it.
Yu Wanqing didn't like eating snake meat, so she took the snake gall and left.
There was such a big python lurking nearby, and it seemed to be blocking Yu Wanqing from moving forward.
Is there some treasure ahead?
Yu Wanqing planned to move forward and even used the help of wood-related abilities, but she was unable to find out anything.
After searching for half an hour and digging up a lot of aged medicinal herbs, I still didn't find any treasures.
As the sun was setting, Yu Wanqing finally decided to retreat.
I'll look for it again tomorrow.
Just after crossing the bridge, I met Secretary Zhou who was returning from a meeting at the commune.
Secretary Zhou looked at her heavy backpack and asked with a frown, "Are you going to the West Mountain? Did you go deep into the mountains?"
Yu Wanqing looked at Secretary Zhou who was pushing a bicycle and walking back with her, and smiled: "I was just wandering around outside and picking some herbs. Don't worry, I won't go into the mountains alone."
It would be strange if not. Of course, Secretary Zhou will not know about this.
Secretary Zhou glanced at her, not disguising the doubt in his eyes at all. He snorted softly, "Do you think I will believe it?"
"Your expression and your eyes tell me that you are suspicious of me." Yu Wanqing retorted bluntly: "I really didn't go in, you old man can't wrongly accuse me."
Secretary Zhou chuckled and said, "From your second brother's perspective, you should call me cousin."
"Besides, I'm still young and can continue to work for another 50 years."
Yu Wanqing nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, you are right."
Secretary Zhou glared at her and said, "You look just like your second brother when he was a child."
"As expected of brother and sister."
Yu Wanqing smiled proudly, "Of course, he is my biological second brother."
At this moment, a burst of laughter came from behind.
Yu Wanqing and Secretary Zhou looked back and found that the oxcart that took the educated youth to the county town had returned. Zhang Hongqi and the others jumped off the car with a smile. Perhaps she noticed Yu Wanqing, so she ran across the bridge quickly.
Seeing this, Yu Wanqing knew that Hongqi must have passed the exam.
Otherwise I wouldn't be so happy.
Sure enough, Zhang Hongqi ran to Yu Wanqing with a smile, eager to share the good news: "Wanqing, Wanqing, I passed the exam."
"Let me tell you, they wanted to get a default choice, but it was finally exposed. The first test score was not counted, and the second time they took the test, the default candidate only got seventh place." When he said this, Zhang Hongqi couldn't hide the smile between his brows.
In Yu Wanqing's opinion, although Zhang Hongqi is taller than the average girl, she is a diligent and reserved girl.
This was the first time she saw Zhang Hongqi's happy expression.
She smiled and said, "It's what they deserve. If they want to make a default appointment, then don't post the job posting and just let the default person start the job."
Secretary Zhou asked quickly, "Among the nine of you who went, is there anyone else who passed the exam besides you?"
Zhang Hongqi shook his head: "No, I was the only one who passed the exam."
Secretary Zhou was a little disappointed when he heard this, but then he changed his mind and said, "If it was really that easy to pass the exam, there wouldn't be so many children going to the countryside."
After he finished speaking, Secretary Zhou looked at the disappointed girls and said, "It's okay. You can take the exam again next time. If you fail once, you can take it twice."
The little girls looked at each other, but they were not comforted and now they wanted to cry even more.
Yu Wanqing looked at them and thought of the several prescriptions she had in her hand. The herbs needed were relatively simple and could be found in the mountains of Nanfu.
If all else fails, you can still grow the necessary medicinal herbs in Nanfu.
If a pharmaceutical factory is built in the Five-Star Brigade, it will solve everyone's employment problem. Even if they are not selected to work in the factory, they can still go into the mountains to collect herbs and grow medicinal herbs.
These are all ways to increase your income.
She looked at the girls and said with a smile, "It's okay. If you miss it this time, you may have a better choice in the future."
"You just need to remember to read more books while working. Once you are well prepared, you will be able to grab the opportunity when it comes and never be afraid of losing it again."
Several little girls nodded in unison: "Sister Yu, we will all continue our studies."
The more they spent time with the educated youth, the stronger the desire for knowledge became among the young people in the village.
On the way back, Sister Hongqi analyzed with them that the reason they failed the exam was not because they were not good enough, but because they were not well prepared.
They are only sixteen or seventeen years old now, and are all waiting for the next opportunity.
Yu Wanqing shared the wild fruits in her backpack with the girls. She smiled and said, "Eat something sweet and your mood will gradually improve. Then you can adjust your mindset and study hard."
Several little girls looked at the red wild fruits in their hands and couldn't help but smile.
Seeing this, Yu Wanqing sighed in her heart: How great it is to be young, and how pure the smile is.
