She turned around and saw that it was Fu Shinian who came out of his yard and called her, so she answered: "Yes, I went to the mountains to dig herbs today, and I came across a good piece of medicinal herbs. I forgot the time while digging, and I didn't expect that it was too late when I finished digging. It was already dark when I got down the mountain."
"Is that so? Then Tong Zhiqing should pay attention to the time next time. It is very dangerous in the mountains after dark," said Fu Shinian.
"I will. I didn't pay attention to the time this time. I will pay attention next time." Tong Yiya knew that he was concerned about her and didn't think there was anything wrong with him saying that.
"That's good. Then Tong Zhiqing should go back earlier," said Fu Shinian.
Originally, he wanted to invite her to have dinner at their place, thinking that she had been busy all day and it would be very late when she went back to cook. But in the end, he thought of their cooking skills and didn't feel comfortable to invite them out loud.
Tong Yiya nodded, then carried her medicinal herbs and walked towards the campus. When she reached the door, she opened the lock, pushed the door open, and locked it from the inside.
Fu Shinian closed the door and entered their yard only after he saw the little girl enter the yard and close the door.
When Guard Dong saw the man coming back, he joked, "Oh... you're moved. I thought so. You have the whole afternoon free but you don't rest, but you sit here guarding the door."
Fu Shinian did not refute what he said, which meant he agreed with what he said. Guard Dong immediately sat up straight and asked again, "Are you really moved?"
"Yeah," Fu Shinian replied as he sat down opposite him.
It was also at this time tonight that he had not seen that figure coming back, and he was very anxious. Only later did he realize how special he felt about this person.
He is not a shy person. Although he didn't know what it felt like to be in love before, he knows it now and has the courage to admit it.
Just now, he saw that the person had not come back yet and was about to go out to look for him. Unexpectedly, when he just walked to the door, he saw Tong Yiya coming back.
He actually wanted to go over and pull the person to check if there were any injuries. He also wanted to scold her sternly, asking why she was so inconsiderate of others' worries and came back so late.
But he knew that he had no reason to say anything to her now, so he just said a few simple words. He was happy to see that she was safe.
Thinking that she hadn't had dinner yet, I didn't dare say more and asked her to go back early.
"Oh my god, are you attracted to her by her beauty? It's only been a short time and you've fallen in love with this educated youth?" Guard Dong asked immediately after hearing him admit it.
"Can you speak a little more quietly? Are you afraid that no one might hear you?" Fu Shinian heard that his voice was a little loud and was a little afraid that the people in the next yard might hear him.
Dong Weibing was confused again. Isn't it good for others to know? Why is his brother afraid that others will know? So he asked: "Are you not going to let her know?"
"It's not that I don't want to, I just want to get to know her slowly, and then I can tell her in person instead of hearing it out of your big mouth," Fu Shinian said speechlessly, looking at Dong Weibing.
"Then you have to tell me why you fell in love with Tong Zhiqing. There were girls prettier than her in the compound before, but you didn't like them," Guard Dong asked curiously.
"I don't know either. I just feel very comfortable with her, and I miss her when I can't see her for a long time." It was the first time that Fu Shinian liked someone, and he didn't know how to explain it, so he just said what he thought.
To Dong Weibing, who also had never had a girlfriend, his explanation was the same as saying nothing.
Seeing that he couldn't get any more information, he gave up the idea and said, "Then let's ask Tong Zhiqing to teach us how to farm."
"You have to ask me, otherwise how can you grow it?" Fu Shinian replied
"Did you ask her just now?" Guard Dong continued to ask
He didn't hear clearly what the two of them said outside just now, so he didn't know whether he asked or not, so he asked now.
"No, I just came back so late, I'm not in a hurry to go home for dinner."
"Okay then, let's go ask again at noon tomorrow and get some rest early."
"Okay, and let's practice our cooking skills. It's not good to let Tong Zhiqing cook for us all the time," said Fu Shinian.
"Oh... you're already feeling sorry for her before you even get together," Dong Weibing joked.
"You sound like you really like the food we cook. Okay, go back to your room and have some rest. You have to go to work tomorrow." After saying that, Fu Shinian stood up and looked at the yard next door. However, the wall was too high and he could only see a faint light. He took a look and went back to his room.
Dong Weibing had long wanted to go back and rest. The high-intensity work in the past few days had taken a toll on his body.
Tong Yiya returned home and was not in a hurry to pack the herbs. She put the herbs in the basket into the space to keep them fresh, and planned to pack them up and dry them in the sun the next morning.
She had not originally planned to go to the kitchen to cook, but thinking of the family next door, she went to the kitchen to make some simple food. After eating casually, she boiled some water and put it in the thermos, brought it into the house, and then turned off the lights to rest.
In fact, I went into the space to study and came out to rest around eleven o'clock.
The next morning, after she got up, washed, made breakfast, and poured all the herbs she brought back yesterday onto the sack.
Soon all the herbs were piled into a small pile. Tong Yiya found a stool and sat down, and began to sort them, picking out the debris from the herbs. After all the herbs were sorted, she simply washed those that could be dried directly and put them on the racks to dry.
For some dishes that need to be processed, they are taken into the kitchen, the herbs are sliced and the ingredients are placed together, and then they are steamed in a pot.
Some medicinal materials need to be steamed repeatedly, while others only need one or two times. After steaming the herbs, she pours out the tablets with a small dustpan, spreads them out and puts them on the rack outside to dry.
She prepared the herbs and had no plans to go out today, so she opened the gate and went to the pharmacy to prepare some ointments and powders.
She was busy until noon. She had just come out of the pharmacy and was washing her hands in the yard when she saw Fu Shinian and Dong Weibing coming over. This time they didn't have anything in their hands, otherwise Tong Yiya would have been afraid that someone would report her that day.
She stood up and looked at the two of them and asked, "Fu Zhiqing, Dong Zhiqing, what's the matter with you coming here at this time?"
"Tong Zhiqing, we came here to ask if you have any extra vegetable seeds. Yesterday, we dug out a vegetable plot in our yard, and we couldn't think of anyone who had vegetable seeds, so we thought of coming to you to ask," said Fu Shinian.
Tong Yiya heard them say they were looking for seeds, and thought that the vegetables she planted now could still be eaten in winter, but the cabbage hearts would no longer curl up, and if it snowed again, the vegetables in the field would not be able to withstand the frost.
So he thought that there seemed to be some vegetable seedlings in his yard, so he said: "If you sow the seeds now, you can only eat them before the snow falls. In winter, people here like to harvest and store the cabbages in advance, otherwise when it starts to snow and frost outside, the cabbage leaves will be inedible.
