She only picked about one pound of mushrooms in her basket, which was enough for two meals, so she was quite satisfied.
She came down the mountain and returned home. She simply processed the medicinal herbs she had collected today, hung them up to dry, and then sat under the eaves to rest.
Tong Yiya then went to the mountains to collect herbs for three days and stayed at home for one day. It was not until the summer harvest that the team leader came to inform her that she could start making medicinal soup to prevent heatstroke.
She started to get up early every day to boil the medicine soup. After the aunts in the village took them away, she went to the pharmacy to cut the medicine. After lunch, she would take a nap.
After Fu Shinian and his friends returned home after the summer harvest, they were so tired that they didn't even want to eat.
Finally, the two of them thought that they would not be able to go without meals, so they had to find Tong Yiya. They asked Tong Yiya to help them cook and deliver the meals to the fields during the summer harvest.
It was just these few days, and the compensation was her food, which they covered. Tong Yiya thought that since she didn't go to the fields with them, she was indeed a bit idle at home.
Also, she felt a bit sorry for the two guys, so she agreed.
After getting Tong Yiya's consent, Fu Shinian moved their food to her house and said that most of the firewood was used. They would collect more firewood after the summer harvest.
Guard Dong also said: "Tong Zhiqing, you can make more. Don't save food for us. After all, we eat a lot."
As for the food, they originally wanted to ask the village cart driver to help bring some from wherever he went to the commune, but Tong Yiya stopped them and said that she had meat at home, and if they gave her the money, she would cook the meat for them.
This is also a business deal, and she made some money at least, so she was quite happy about it.
So starting from the next morning, after getting up, Tong Yiya not only had to boil the medicinal soup, but also had to prepare meals for the two of them early and put them in the yard waiting for them to eat.
It didn't rain that day, so it was okay for them to eat outside. As for going into the house, Tong Yiya disagreed.
When the aunt from the village who came to pick up medicinal soup saw this, she asked Tong Yiya what was going on. She told them directly that the two men had asked her to cook for a few days. It was better to tell them directly than to listen to the village aunts' wild guesses.
The aunts also knew that they were newly arrived educated youth, and originally thought that they could not do any work. But in the past few days, they also heard that these two male educated youth were not like the other educated youth who were sneaky and cunning every day.
These two male educated youth were praised by the team leader for their good work. Considering how busy they have been these past few days, and for two grown men to live together, food is indeed a problem. It is normal to ask someone to cook at this time.
As for why they didn't ask other aunts in the village to do it, it was of course because of the work done in the past few days. The people who had eaten at Fu Shinian's place last time spread the word that Du Tongzhiqing was not only good in medicine, but also in cooking.
So from that day on, Tong Yiya and Fu Shinian started to eat together during the summer harvest days. When the villagers found out, most of them didn't say anything.
Even those gossipers in the village were afraid that Tong Yiya would not treat them or prescribe medicine after she found out, so no one dared to say anything.
Dong Weibing ate the food made by Tong Yiya again, and praised her countless times.
Although Fu Shinian didn't say anything, you could tell from his expression that he was very happy to eat the food made by Tong Yiya again, he just didn't talk much.
The three of them had already discussed it during breakfast. Every morning and dinner, they would come here to eat, but they would also ask Tong Yiya to help deliver lunch to the fields.
Although the summer harvest is not as tiring as the autumn harvest, the team leader and his colleagues still hope to finish the harvest as early as possible so that there will be less time for lunch break. Therefore, the villagers bring their lunch to the fields during the summer and autumn harvests. They cannot make any exception, so they can only trouble Tong Yiya.
Tong Yiya was not planning to go out these days, so after making some medicine in the morning, she found something to do at home. At around 10:30 in the afternoon, she started to cook lunch for the three of them.
At noon she cut some sauerkraut and paired it with some chopped fresh meat. It was very little, just one pound of sauerkraut and two ounces of meat.
She kneaded the bread filling, rolled out the pancake, then started to light the stove, brushed a layer of oil into the pan, and put the pancake on it. She had to turn it over from time to time, and the fire couldn't be too big, otherwise the pancake would burn accidentally.
She made eight pancakes in total, two for herself and three each for Fu Shinian and his partner. The dishes she made were stir-fried pumpkin tips and stir-fried peppers with a few slices of bacon.
She didn't make soup because she was working in the fields and didn't have much time to go to the toilet, but she brought cans of water so that they could drink some to quench their thirst when they were thirsty.
It was already a little after eleven when everything was done. She didn't say that she would eat at home first and then send the food. She just took her own portion with her and went to the field to eat with the three of them.
When I got to the field, I asked an aunt and found out where the land between the two was.
Walking on the ridge, Tong Yiya looked at the large fields of golden wheat ears. There were many working people in the fields, bending over and harvesting wheat quickly.
After walking for a while, she arrived at the land that Fu Shinian and the other person had divided. She looked at the people working in the land for a long time but couldn't see where the two of them were.
After a while, she heard an aunt next to her loudly calling out the names of her family members, and soon several people came out from the fields.
After thinking for a while, she could only shout, "Fu Zhiqing, Dong Zhiqing, it's time to eat."
The aunt next to her heard her calling for help, turned around to look at her, nodded, and then carried two large baskets to a tree nearby.
Tong Yiya was stunned for a moment, and soon, Fu Shinian and Dong Weibing came towards her from the field with sickles in their hands.
She waited until the two of them came closer, then said, "It's too sunny here, why don't we go eat under the tree?"
"Just follow your lead," Fu Shinian said
Then Tong Yiya walked in front and led them to an empty tree not far away. She saw that the ground was a little dirty and thought that she was negligent and didn't think of bringing a piece of cloth to cushion the ground. So she turned to the two of them and said, "Let's just eat in the basket today. This is my first time delivering food, so I didn't think of bringing a piece of cloth to cushion the ground."
"It's okay. We can eat in the basket. Besides, we've been working all day and our clothes are not clean. It's okay to sit on the ground," said Fu Shinian.
Guard Dong also said, "It's good enough that Tong Zhiqing agreed to cook for us, and we're not that picky. I'll go get some leaves so we can sit on them."
After saying that, he went to the side, got some branches with dense leaves, and put them on the ground as a simple mat. The three of them sat down. Tong Yiya opened the basket, and the two were very happy to see that it was cakes.
He took out the water he brought, poured some for the two to wash their hands, and after they dried their hands, they each picked up the pancake and started eating.
