Early the next morning, she woke up to the sound of the alarm in her mind. She checked the time and it was around six in the morning, and it was still not very bright outside.
She was a little sleepy and wanted to stay in bed for a while, but thinking that she still had to boil the medicine soup, she immediately sat up from the kang. After a minute, she picked up the clothes beside her and put them on, then put on her shoes and got off the kang.
She went to the kitchen to boil water before going out, then washed up, went to the pharmacy to get the prepared herbs, threw them into the pot and started to boil them.
After cooking for about forty minutes, the aunt from the village who came to pick up the medicinal soup came. She asked someone to scoop it on one side while she started to knead the dough on the board where she usually rolled and kneaded the noodles.
After the aunts took the medicinal soup away, she freed up a pot, cleaned it, boiled water and cooked the noodles.
After the noodles were cooked, she took them out and rinsed them with cold water. She scooped out the noodle soup from the pot and poured the leftover spicy chicken from yesterday morning into the pot to heat it up.
Then put the noodles into three bowls. When the spicy chicken is heated, divide them equally into three bowls. Finally, sprinkle some coriander on top and a bowl of spicy chicken noodles is ready.
After bringing the prepared noodles out, she went back to the kitchen to clean the pot. When she came out, Fu Shinian and the others had already arrived.
Dong Weibing was still the same as before, praising Tong Yiya's cooking skills while eating noodles.
It was Fu Shinian. No one knew what was wrong with him today. He didn't say a word. Tong Yiya even felt that his eyes seemed to be avoiding her.
But she didn't think much about it. After they had breakfast, they went out to work. Tong Yiya also had to start her daily tasks. After cleaning up the medicine residue in the kitchen, she went to the pharmacy to start cutting the medicine.
During the summer harvest, it took five days to bring all the wheat from the fields to the brigade headquarters. Then the wheat ears were threshed and the wheat was threshed.
After the summer harvest, Tong Yiya settled the expenses of their meal with Fu Shinian and the others, and then sent them back to eat by themselves.
Then the village began to pay public grain, and then there was the first grain distribution after the summer harvest. Tong Yiya went to the brigade headquarters on the day of the distribution.
When she went there, she first borrowed a cart, received the food, and pushed it back home. After returning the cart, she dragged the three bags of wheat she had been allocated to the kitchen and placed them in a small hole she had dug in the corner of the kitchen.
It is convenient to keep it here and take it anytime, but if you want to eat this wheat, you have to go to the brigade and use a stone mill to grind it into wheat flour before you can use it to make steamed buns.
She put the grain away, covered the board, moved the vegetable jars back and continued to press them down. Then she made some simple food, picked up her backpack and medicine hoe and went out.
She hadn't been up the mountain for several days, and all the medicinal herbs that were drying at home had now been dried and stored, so she had to dig some fresh ones, process them, and store them for future use.
When she arrived in the mountains, she walked for a while before starting to look for useful herbs. She kept searching all around and stayed in the mountains for the whole afternoon. It was almost dark when she came out of the mountains and returned home.
Fu Shinian and his friends also received some food today, but since they had only been there for a short time, the food they received was not enough for one person to eat. So the two of them asked other villagers to exchange some for them with money tickets. After taking the food back home and putting it away, they sat down in the yard to rest for a while.
Guard Dong thought about the food they brought back and said, "We only have food here, but we can't do without some vegetables. If that doesn't work, we can learn from the villagers and dig a vegetable plot in the yard and plant some vegetables. Then we can have some in the fall and eat in the winter."
"Okay, but I want to ask if you can grow vegetables," Fu Shinian asked
"Well... what do you think we should do? We have money, but we can't just keep buying food to eat. It's too easy to be targeted. Just like when we were buying food today, did you feel like someone was looking at you from time to time, as if you were a piece of fat meat?" said Guard Dong.
Thinking of the feeling today, he couldn't help but shiver. Those aunties in the village were so enthusiastic, so enthusiastic that he was scared.
"Growing vegetables is a must, but we don't know how to do it, so we have to find someone who can teach us. Otherwise, if we don't grow anything, it will be all in vain," said Fu Shinian.
He actually wanted to say directly, why don’t we ask Tong Zhiqing to teach us how to grow vegetables, but he felt a little embarrassed.
Ever since he had that dream last time, he felt a little ashamed and couldn't face Tong Zhiqing, so he avoided her gaze afterwards.
But since they no longer ate together, he hadn't seen her for three or four days, and he felt an indescribable longing for her in his heart.
He hasn't figured out what's wrong with him yet, but he has discovered that something is wrong with him. These days, when he lies on the kang at night, he would think of that figure from time to time when he closes his eyes.
After hearing what he said, Guard Dong thought for a moment before speaking: "How about we ask Tong Zhiqing for help? I've seen that the vegetables in her yard are grown quite well. If we ask her to teach us, we will definitely be able to grow good crops."
Fu Shinian was just waiting for him to say this, and without thinking for long, he nodded and said, "Then let's go over and ask her later."
"Okay, hey, we haven't had lunch today, have you thought about what to eat?" Dong Weibing just remembered that they haven't had lunch yet.
These days, the two of them have returned to cooking their own meals, and the taste is incomparable to that made by Tong Zhiqing.
But the two of them were too embarrassed to trouble others, so they could only make do with what they cooked themselves.
"Just get something to eat and go. After we get something to eat, let's plan the courtyard and see which piece of land to set aside as a vegetable field. Then we'll turn it over first, and then ask Tongzhou District how to plant it. Then we'll ask Tong Zhiqing if he has any extra vegetable seeds," Fu Shinian said as he stood up.
After saying that, he walked towards their kitchen. He was not that particular about food, so he had no idea about eating the food he cooked.
The two of them had something to eat, then started working in the yard with hoes. After turning the soil, they went to Tong Yiya's house to look for her, but when they saw that her gate was locked, they knew she was not at home.
After returning home, Dong Weidong went back to the house to rest. Fu Shinian sat in the yard, weaving an unfinished bamboo product in his hands, and from time to time he looked at the road outside through the open gate.
When Tong Yiya got down the mountain, it was already dark. Fortunately, her night vision had improved a lot since she ate the fruit given by the system, so she could still see the road clearly when walking on the path in the dark.
She had just reached the gate of Fu Shinian's courtyard and was about to walk over when she heard a voice calling her, "Tong Zhiqing, did you just come down from the mountain?"
