Tong Yiya took it and said, "I'll take it."

Seeing that she had taken the things, Fu Shinian didn't want to keep her any longer, so he said, "Tong Zhiqing, you are busy, I will take the vegetables back first, and I will bring the basket to you tomorrow, okay?"

"It's okay, just send it back to me when you have time," Tong Yiya said nonchalantly.

After saying that, Fu Shinian walked to the door, took his things, said goodbye and left. Tong Yiya continued to go into the kitchen to prepare her own dinner and deal with the remaining medicinal herbs.

When Guard Dong saw Fu Shinian coming back, he walked over and looked at the fresh vegetables in the basket and said, "Hey, you know what, the vegetables grown by this educated youth Tong are fresher than those we bought in the commune, and they haven't been bitten by insects. They look delicious even when they are raw."

Fu Shinian also agreed with his words, but seeing that it was getting dark, he still reminded him: "Well, hurry up and light the fire and cook, otherwise it will be dark soon."

So the two of them started to prepare dinner in a hurry. At the dinner table, Guard Dong asked, "Our house is almost finished. Shouldn't we cook some dishes and invite people to have a meal to liven things up?"

After hearing this, Fu Shinian thought for a while before saying, "We should invite them, but we should only invite the village cadres and the people who have been working these days. Don't prepare too much feast, otherwise if the villagers know that we are rich, someone might find a chance to pester us."

"That's fine. Even if it's bad, there should be a meat dish. You can't buy meat in this village. If you go to the commune, I heard you have to go very early to buy it," said Guard Dong.

"As for meat, I'll go to the mountains tomorrow to see if I can hunt some small game. If not, we can only find a way to buy two kilograms from the commune," Fu Shinian replied.

Dong Weibing also agreed with his idea. He then thought about cooking and inviting people to dinner. The food couldn't be too good, but the taste couldn't be too bad either. So he asked, "Okay, who are you going to ask to cook? We can't just do it together. As for the aunt who's cooking now, it's almost the same as the two of us."

Fu Shinian was also stumped for a moment. They had only been in the village for a few days and were not familiar with these things. He thought about asking the team leader, so he said directly: "Let's ask the team leader tomorrow whose aunt cooks the best food, and then bring some gifts to ask someone to cook for us."

After hearing his suggestion, Guard Dong complained in his heart, "Why don't you think of someone nearby when you ask someone else to do it?" After watching him for a while and seeing that he still hadn't thought of it, he suggested, "Why don't we ask Tong Zhiqing to help, and the aunt who cooks during the day to help out, what do you think?"

"And think about it, this way we have an excuse to invite Tong Zhiqing to dinner. Otherwise, I heard that it is difficult for anyone to invite her to dinner at home, not even the educated youth who went to the countryside with her," Dong Weibing continued.

Fu Shinian thought for a while before saying, "We need to ask Tong Zhiqing if he is willing first. Let's go ask him tomorrow morning. If Tong Zhiqing is not willing, we will go find the captain."

The two men discussed everything, and seeing that it was getting dark, Guard Dong hurriedly said, "Okay, let's eat quickly, it's almost dark."

The two of them quickly finished the food in their bowls, put away the dishes and chopsticks, then went to get the kerosene lamp and lit it. They washed the dishes outside, boiled water and took a quick bath before returning to the room to sleep.

The next day, the two were afraid that Tong Yiya would go to the mountains if they were too late, so they arrived at her house early to block her. Tong Yiya was still washing her face when she heard someone knocking on the gate. She put down her towel and went to open the door.

When I opened the door, I saw two people standing at the door and asked, "Um, what's going on?"

"Yes, Tong Zhiqing, it's like this. Our house will be built in a few days, so we wanted to invite the team leader and others to have a meal and serve as a housewarming. But you also know that Fu Shinian and I are not very good at cooking, so I wanted to come and ask you if I can ask you to help with the cooking." Guard Dong finished what he said in one breath, and then waited quietly for Tong Yiya's reply.

Tong Yiya wanted to refuse directly after hearing this, but she thought that they would be neighbors in the future, and these two people looked okay and worth making friends with, so she asked: "Then when will you treat us? I want to know the time, so I can see if I have anything to do on that day."

Fu Shinian said: "Four days later"

Tong Yiya thought about it and after confirming that there was nothing to do that day, she nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll go there a day in advance to see what dishes are available and order a few dishes with you guys first."

"That's great. This is a small gift. Please accept it first, Tong Zhiqing." When Dong Weidong heard her agreement, he hurriedly took out the gift they brought and handed it to her.

Tong Yiya didn't hesitate to take the things. The two of them had to go back to supervise the work and had nothing else to say, so they went back.

Tong Yiya carried her things into the house and put them down, then continued to wash up, and then went to the kitchen to make herself breakfast.

After breakfast, she began to move out all the herbs that needed to be dried in the sun, then took her tools and went out to the mountain.

She didn't expect that in the afternoon, she would meet Fu Shinian who came to the mountains to hunt. After the two met, he did not hide anything and told Tong Yiya directly that he was planning to hunt some small prey to use as meat dishes for the dinner party that day.

Tong Yiya was not surprised. This was all normal. Although everyone knew that the prey in the mountains belonged to the collective, every family in the village had gone to the mountains to hunt small animals for their family.

This is something that everyone in the village agrees on. Generally, if you hunt small animals and the number is not large, you can keep them for yourself.

But if you kill a lot or a large prey and people know about it, then you have to take it out and share it with the whole village.

Tong Yiya saw that he had nothing in his hands and asked, "How long have you been up the mountain? What have you gained?"

When Fu Shinian was asked by her, he felt a little shy, because it was his first time in the mountains. He had been in the mountains for so long and hadn't even seen any pheasant feathers, let alone hunted any prey. He almost got lost, but luckily he met Tong Yiya.

Seeing him like this, Tong Yiya knew that he hadn't gotten anything yet. After thinking for a while, she said, "I'll take you to a place. It all depends on your luck."

As he spoke, he put on the backpack and led the way. After a while, Tong Yiya brought people to a sloping field. There was an area here with little grass on the ground and a few small earth holes.

Fu Shinian had been to the mountains before, so of course he could recognize that this was a rabbit hole, but he didn't speak out in a hurry.

Tong Yiya stopped and turned around and said, "This is what I found when I was digging for herbs. I don't know if there is anything in it. You can find it yourself. I will go dig herbs around and come to find you later."
