Tong Yiya is still happily digging medicinal herbs and picking wild vegetables and mushrooms. There are many gifts from nature in the mountains in spring.
She has harvested a lot of wild vegetables recently. She ate all the edible ones and dried the ones that couldn't be eaten. For example, she collected the fresh young shoots of prickly ash and put them in her space. When she wanted to eat them, she took them out, fried them and dipped them in sauce. They were delicious.
She has harvested a lot of these spring flavors. Recently, many people from the village have gone up the mountain, and she would go up the mountain with the village aunts from time to time.
The aunts would teach her to identify some edible wild vegetables that she didn't recognize, and later she was able to pick more and more types of wild vegetables.
When she was alone, she would walk a little deeper into the mountains, follow others, and just wander around the outside of the mountain.
Everyone in the village knows how dangerous it is in the mountains, so generally no one dares to go in. When they collect firewood or look for wild vegetables, they only dare to look for them outside the mountains.
Tong Yiya went up the mountain alone today. She came here mainly to dig medicinal herbs, so she walked into the mountain alone. She had already dug up most of the medicinal herbs on the periphery.
Even if there are still some small medicinal herbs, she will not always dig in the same place. She will let the seedlings grow and then dig in other places.
Half of the village is backed by mountains, so there are many places where she can dig herbs. Sometimes, if she wants better medicinal herbs with a higher age, she will go deep into the mountains.
When she arrived at the mountain, she took a quick look and saw several common herbs. She picked up a hoe and started digging.
Whenever she saw edible wild vegetables, she would pick them and put them in the basket, and put the herbs in the backpack.
No one has come to dig the herbs near the mountains all year round, so they grow in patches. They are very precious herbs and are rare.
During this period, she also dug up Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng, but there were more Ganoderma lucidum than ginseng. She only came across one or two ginseng. One she dug out was a hundred years old and another was about fifty years old. She took them home, processed them and preserved them.
After digging herbs for more than an hour, her backpack and basket were full. After throwing half of the things into her own space, she walked out of the mountain while looking around to see if there were any herbs.
When she reached the foot of the mountain, the backpack and the basket were full again. She then threw some more into her own space, otherwise it would have been even fuller.
She usually goes up the mountain after lunch, and it is around five o'clock when she comes down the mountain.
Every time she went to the mountains to collect herbs, she would go every few days. Otherwise, if villagers came to get herbs or someone got hurt and she was not at home, people would talk about her.
Generally, she would go to the mountains for one day, and on the second or third day she would go home to process the herbs she dug down the mountain. The wild vegetables she brought down the mountain also needed to be processed simply. She was determined to stay at home all day so that it would be convenient for someone to come to her house to see a doctor and prescribe medicine.
At Aunt Guihua's house, after a while, she received a letter from her youngest son again, along with a large package.
They opened the package first, and found it was full of malted milk, milk candy and the like. They were still wondering if their son felt that his parents were not having a good time at home after returning home, so he sent another letter and said he was buying things not long after returning home. This was too unusual.
It was not until the two of them opened the letter that they cursed the boy for raising him in vain. They thought he was reluctant to see his parents suffer, but they didn't know that the boy had fallen in love with the girl. The girl was not here, and they were afraid that she would be deceived and run away, so they wrote to ask his old parents to help look after her.
Even the things that were sent back, more than half were prepared for the little girl, and the old couple didn't get as much as others.
Uncle Deng Wu was so angry that he put the letter down and said, "I was wondering why this kid is so weird. He has only been back for a few days, but he has already taken a fancy to the best educated youth in the village. How dare he think that we are a rural family?"
"That's right. Sons are born to parents who are very cruel. We should have had a daughter a long time ago," said Aunt Guihua.
Although Uncle Deng was angry, he was a little angry when he thought that his youngest son finally found someone he liked and that he was already 20 years old. If he didn't get married now, it would be too late, so he was only a little angry about his younger son's behavior.
After the angry old couple looked at each other, Uncle Deng Wu asked: "Mother of that child, what do you think we should do about this matter? After all, he is our little brat, so we still have to help him."
"If you ask me, how could I not know? Let's help. Anyway, we like Tong Zhiqing very much. If she can be with Sancheng, it will be a good thing, right?" Aunt Guihua said
"Then what do you say? I'll follow your instructions," asked Uncle Deng Wu
Aunt Guihua thought for a while before speaking: "We can't rush this. We have to send these things slowly. Ren Tongzhiqing will not lack these at first sight. My son also won't let us express his feelings first. We can only get along with him for now and talk about other things when he comes back."
"You mean we should just keep getting along like before?" Uncle Deng Wu didn't quite understand.
"You are stupid, how can it be the same? We have to move around more frequently than before, and you can follow me from time to time to help fetch water and collect firewood.
I will keep an eye on them, and if other young men from the village get close to them, otherwise your son won’t come back and the girl will become an adult,” said Aunt Guihua.
Uncle Deng Wu felt that his wife was right, he agreed, looked at the things on the table and said: "Okay, you can take care of these things and send some over from time to time. Although they don't need them, they were bought by the third of us after all, and it's his intention."
"Okay, I get it. This is all for my youngest son's wife. I'm an old man and I have to run around for her.
But you know what, our third brother has good taste. He is already 20 years old and hasn't had a girl he likes in all these years. Now he has fallen in love with a girl who satisfies us and has good conditions in all aspects." Aunt Guihua said with some pride.
Uncle Deng also responded with a few words. The two of them packed up their things and thought that there was nothing to do today. Aunt Guihua took a can of malted milk and a pack of White Rabbit and went out, walking towards the house opposite not far away.
When she arrived, Tong Yiya was turning the soil in the vegetable garden in the yard. Today she had cut down all the vegetables from last season, turned the soil over and planted some peppers, tomatoes, eggplants and other vegetables for the new season.
She had already sown these seedlings aside for breeding, and now they have grown and are suitable for planting.
She had just straightened up and rested for a while when she saw Aunt Guihua walk in. She smiled and asked, "Auntie, you didn't go to work today, why did you come here?"
"The team is on break today. My old man went to town to pick up a package sent by my youngest son. He just came back a while ago. I was bored at home, so I thought of coming over to sit with you," Aunt Guihua replied.
"Then please sit down, auntie. I'll go get you a glass of water." Tong Yiya said as she put down the hoe, went into the house to get some water.
Aunt Guihua didn't bother to be polite with her. She walked to the stool in the yard and sat down, putting the basket aside. Soon, Tong Yiya poured out some water, handed it to her and said, "Auntie, please sit down for a while. I'll clean up the vegetable garden first."
