Chapter 123: Educated Youth from New Zealand



Aunt Guihua next to her also replied: "Okay, we'll come right away, you should sit down and have a rest."

After they finished talking, they put down their things, went to the water tank to fetch water to wash their hands, and then went into the kitchen to eat together.

This is how it is with Tong Yiya. She eats in the kitchen in the summer and inside the house in the winter.

Her kitchen was not small, so there was enough space to put a table on the side. The three of them went into the kitchen, sat down and started eating.

After the three of them finished their lunch, Uncle Deng fetched some water for Tong Yiya's family and then went home to feed the chickens at home.

After he left, Tong Yiya cleaned up the dishes and sat back under the eaves, continuing to peel persimmons with Aunt Guihua. She thought about wanting to raise two chickens last year, so she asked Aunt Guihua, "Aunt, do you know any family in our village that has chicks? I want to bring two home to raise so that I can eat eggs from time to time in the future."

When Aunt Guihua heard her say that she wanted to bring back chicks to raise, she thought for a moment and said, "I haven't heard of anyone having one recently. I'll go ask around for you tomorrow, and I'll let you know if anyone has one. You have a spacious yard, so it would be nice to raise two."

"Okay, then I'll thank you first. When the chickens start laying eggs, I'll send them to you." Tong Yiya said with a smile.

"You're welcome," said Aunt Osmanthus.

The two of them peeled the remaining basket of persimmons in the afternoon, and then they moved the bamboo drying rack to the sun.

All the persimmons were dried on three full bamboo racks. These were bamboo racks made by Tong Yiya herself. They were 1.5 meters high and 2 meters long. More than a dozen bunches of persimmons were dried on one rack.

After everything was done, Aunt Guihua went back home. Tong Yiya used a winnowing basket at home to dry the peeled persimmon peels, and kept them for use in covering the frosting of the persimmon cakes later.

After that, I cleaned the yard and turned over the herbs that were drying in the sun. After the persimmons were almost dried, I would pinch each one every day.

After being dried to a certain degree, take them out and pinch them into a flat round shape. Use a jar to cover them with a layer of dried persimmon peel and a layer of persimmon cake. Put them into the jar layer by layer, and cover the top with dried persimmon peel.

The persimmon cakes made from two baskets of persimmons are packed into three jars, which are then placed in a cool and ventilated place. After a while, when the persimmon cakes are frosted, they can be taken out and eaten.

It took Tong Yiya a week to make the persimmon cakes, mainly because the sun was good during the past few days. If the weather was bad, the persimmons would have to be dried in the sun for almost half a month before they were ready.

After the persimmon cakes were ready and put into jars, the village welcomed a new batch of educated youth. Tong Yiya did not go to the village to see them, but only heard Aunt Guihua tell her that there were not many educated youth coming this time, only four people, two men and two women.

Qin Xue from the educated youth camp came to Tong Yiya's place that day. After entering the yard, she saw her drying herbs, so she pretended to be familiar with her and said, "Tong Zhiqing, are you drying herbs?"

Tong Yiya heard the voice and turned around to see that it was her. She said expressionlessly, "Well, how come Qin Zhiqing has time to come to my courtyard?"

"Oh, there are new educated youths coming to our educated youth center, so we are preparing to hold a welcome party for them and have a meal together, so I came here to tell you." Qin Xue saw that she had no expression on her face and was not angry, so she told her the purpose of her visit.

Tong Yiya didn't expect that she didn't give them face every time, so how could these people shamelessly want to find her again and again.

She didn't say much, and directly refused: "You can welcome the new educated youth, I am insignificant and my influence is not strong, so I won't go."

Qin Xue seemed to have not expected that she would be rejected directly. Her expression froze for a moment, and then she continued with a smile and said, "We are all educated youth. This is a good opportunity for us to get to know each other. Tong Zhiqing should go."

"No need. You know I'm not familiar with you. I think I've made it very clear to you last time. Please don't come to me again for matters related to the educated youth point in the future. If you are not here to get medicine, please go back." After saying this, Tong Yiya turned around and continued to organize the herbs without looking at Qin Xue.

After hearing her direct words, Qin Xue felt it would be awkward to stay here any longer, so she turned around and left in anger.

She used to be the one who was flattered by others, and had never suffered such humiliation. So she went back and complained to her two bootlickers.

The new educated youth had heard that one of their own was working as a barefoot doctor in the village, and they all wanted to get to know her better, as they might be able to ask her for help in the future.

Unexpectedly, that educated youth was not familiar with the other old educated youths and was unwilling to associate with them. Now these new educated youths have begun to consider whether they should exclude these old educated youths for the sake of that educated youth.

In the end, this idea was not implemented because they were not like Tong Yiya, who could live outside. If they lived together, they would see each other every day, which would make their relationship too strained.

Moreover, they were new educated youth and were unfamiliar with everything in the brigade. They had to rely on these old educated youth to help them get familiar with the situation.

Tong Yiya didn't care about the lives of the new and old educated youth over there, because this year's autumn harvest was coming soon.

The new educated youth had only been there for half a month when the village started the autumn harvest. They all went to the fields to collect grain and were exhausted every day, so the educated youth site was peaceful for a while.

Tong Yiya prepared medicinal tea in the morning as usual, and waited for the village aunties to come and carry the crops to the fields. She also went to the fields to harvest the crops. The team leader still assigned her to work with Aunt Guihua and her husband.

Tong Yiya once again took her own rations to Aunt Guihua's house and ate with the two of them.

After the autumn harvest, everyone in the village was tanned, and the educated youth became much darker all of a sudden. The new educated youth also went to Tong Yiya to get herbal medicine to take back.

Because they had just started working when the autumn harvest came, they had blisters on their hands and feet every day. When they first came to Tong Yiya to get medicine, she had to prick the blisters, and the girl cried and screamed in fear of the pain.

After being manipulated and talked to by Tong Yiya for a few words, she finally calmed down. Then I pricked her blisters and applied herbal medicine on her for one night. The blisters did feel much better.

After the first one, there was the second one, but Tong Yiya only helped pick the blisters of the first one. For the rest, she gave them medicine and told them to wash their hands and feet, dry them, pick the blisters, apply the medicine, and then use a piece of cloth to gently fix the medicine for a long time.

After all, she has to go to the fields to earn work points every day, and she doesn't have that much time to take care of these city kids.

We finally got through the autumn harvest. Yesterday, except for the strong laborers who went to the production team to transport grain and to the public utility to distribute the grain, most of the women in the village were resting at home.

Tong Yiya tidied up the house in the morning, took all the clothes to the river to wash them, and then went to move all the medicinal herbs that had not been dried in the pharmacy out of the house to dry them in the sun.
