Chapter 197 Building Houses for the Elderly



The team leader had never cared about the fact that Old Zhang was still with them. Tong Yiya found an opportunity to ask the team leader to help build two rooms in the shed. They would live in the thatched shed forever, and if the old man got sick, he would have to run around.

The team leader thought about it and agreed, saying that after the spring planting, there would not be much work left, so he would find someone to go over.

Finally, he warned her not to hang around there for no reason, because if someone saw her, he wouldn't be able to protect her.

Of course Tong Yiya listened to what was said, but as for whether to go or not, that was another matter.

After helping to find the team leader to build houses for the elderly and getting an accurate answer, Tong Yiya began to go up the mountain to dig herbs every day.

Now the village still pays her salary and ten work points a day as usual, but no one mentions Captain Zhang.

When the villagers found out about this, they thought that the team leader didn't bring up the matter because he didn't want to pay double salary. However, this earned him a lot of praise from the villagers.

Later, when they saw Tong Yiya working in the fields to earn work points, everyone had no objection to her. After all, she had an elderly person to support at home, and the old man had great medical skills and cured many diseases in the village.

Who in a village can guarantee that they will not get sick for their whole life, so no one would take the initiative to provoke a barefoot doctor.

About a month passed like this, and the house on the other side of the shed was built. When the team leader was looking for people, Fu Shinian and Dong Weibing went over to help with the work for free.

With their participation, the construction of the house for the elderly went smoothly and there was no cutting of corners.

Most people in the village these days are still kindhearted. They are just afraid that dealing with these old people will implicate themselves, so after they came to the village, they just ignored their existence and never criticized/struggled against them from time to time like those people outside.

Their village is relatively nice to these old people, which means they ignore their presence in the village.

After the elderly moved into the new house, their lives have improved a little. The most important thing is that they no longer have to worry about the thatched hut collapsing when it rains or snows heavily, and the elderly getting injured.

"Xiao Ya, are you going to the mountains to dig herbs today?" Fu Shinian had just gotten up that day and came to Tong Yiya's house. Seeing that she was already up, he asked.

"Well, I thought I'd take advantage of this time to collect more herbs so that I can go to the fields with you to earn work points during the summer harvest," Tong Yiya replied.

"Actually, you don't have to work so hard. The fields are so hot in the summer, so you don't have to go. Just bring us some food like in previous years," said Fu Shinian.

He was reluctant to let his girlfriend work in the fields, so he tried to persuade her to stay at home.

Tong Yiya felt that these things had to wait until the time came, so she didn't agree immediately. She just said, "Let's talk about this later. I'm thinking that we'll get married in the future, and if I earn more work points, I'll have food to treat our guests."

"I'll take care of all this. You just need to take care of yourself and marry me with peace of mind," Fu Shinian said.

"I just wanted to share some of the burden with you," Tong Yiya said

"Okay, let's talk about this later. Let's prepare breakfast first, otherwise Guard Dong and the others will be here soon." Tong Yiya continued without waiting for Fu Shinian to say anything.

Fu Shinian had no choice but to follow her to prepare breakfast. Not long after, Guard Dong and Old Zhang also came over.

After the four of them had a good breakfast, Fu Shinian and Dong Weibing went to work in the fields, and Tong Yiya also took the tools to dig herbs and went up the mountain. Only Old Zhang was left at home to turn over and dry the herbs, and to entertain the patients who came to visit.

The days passed one by one. After Tong Yiya had Master Zhang as her master, her medical skills improved every day. Now she has also started to learn acupuncture.

What Tong Yiya is most interested in is giving people acupuncture. During the time when she was learning acupuncture, Dong Weibing and Fu Shinian were given acupuncture many times.

When she first started, she didn't want to try the needle on other people. She wanted to prick herself so that she could experience all the feelings.

But she was stopped by Fu Shinian, and in the end she had to drag Dong Weibing along to serve as her tool.

The two of them have been given a lot of acupuncture treatments by her recently. Although they were a little scared at the beginning, after feeling the benefits of acupuncture, Dong Weibing no longer resisted.

Time passed and it was time for the summer wheat harvest. The village became busy these days. In the end, Tong Yiya did not say anything to Fu Shinian and could only agree to continue cooking and delivering meals at home.

A few days before the summer harvest, she went to the town just to get some fresh meat and bacon from her space to nourish Fu Shinian and the others.

Otherwise, after a summer harvest, the people who work in the fields will lose a lot of weight. If they don't eat well, their bodies will collapse sooner or later.

Tong Yiya also felt sorry for them, but in the countryside, who doesn't go to the fields to work? If they don't go to work, someone will be unhappy and will report them to the landlords for being pretentious.

They were both clear that once they decided to go to the countryside, they had to do farm work. The two of them were quite determined and after just a short time they had gotten used to working in the fields.

Tong Yiya now lives with a few of them. If she wants to get something out of the space, she has to go to the town. So in the past six months, the aunts in the village have met her on the ox cart more than once.

Everyone thought that she had some money after she started dating Fu Zhiqing, so she wanted to go to the town to buy things every day.

Behind her back, many aunties in the village said that she was a spendthrift, didn't know how to manage the household, and just spent money recklessly every day. They also said things like, "It's a good thing I didn't tell her to my son, otherwise she would have ruined my family by now."

Tong Yiya didn't know all this. If she knew, she would definitely go to their house and let them see why the flowers were so red.

Ever since she started dating Fu Shinian, her temper has never improved, but no one has provoked her during this period, otherwise her fighting skills would have been tested in advance.

During the summer harvest, she always cooked a meat dish every day, which made many people in the village envious.

Today, Tong Yiya made stir-fried pork with chili, stir-fried water spinach, cold cucumber salad and tomato egg drop soup for lunch, and the staple food was steamed buns made from two-grain flour.

As soon as I arrived at the field, a lot of people stared at me. No one meant any harm, they just wanted to know what they had eaten that day.

The main reason is that Tong Yiya’s cooking skills are so good and the food she makes is so delicious. Every time people sitting around them, they can eat one or two more steamed buns just by smelling the aroma of the food.
