Chapter 236 After Returning to the Village



When Mr. Zhang heard someone knocking on the gate, he went out to open it. Seeing that it was them coming back, he immediately said happily, "You're back. You must be tired on the way. Come in and have a rest. I'll go get you some hot water to warm you up."

"Master, please stop working. Shi Nian will cook it later. Come and see our Yuanyuan. We haven't seen her for almost a month. You must miss her." Tong Yiya hurriedly stopped Mr. Zhang who was about to work and used Yuanyuan to attract his attention.

"Yes, Grandpa Zhang, we can do it ourselves. It's cold outside. You and Xiaoya go sit inside first. I'll put the things down and go boil some water," said Fu Shinian.

"Oh, okay, okay, Xiaoya, let me hold Yuanyuan. I don't know if this child has forgotten me." Seeing that he was really not needed, Mr. Zhang asked Tong Yiya to let him hold Yuanyuan.

Yuanyuan was awake now. When she was held by Mr. Zhang, she just stared at his face and tried to recognize him, but did not cry.

Without the child in her arms, Tong Yiya helped Fu Shinian and the others move the things they brought back into the house. After that, she went to the kitchen to boil water and then made a bowl of noodles for each of the three people. Even Yuanyuan had a small bowl of porridge.

After the three of them finished eating, Tong Yiya took the food to feed Yuanyuan. Seeing that she had already started feeding the child complementary food, Mr. Zhang asked about the child's digestion. After hearing that he didn't think there was anything wrong, he let her feed the child with peace of mind.

In the evening, they had a quick meal and went to bed early. They had finally returned home, but the village had not started work yet, so the next day the three of them slept until they woke up naturally.

When they got up, it was almost eleven o'clock in the morning. After washing up, Tong Yiya handed the child to Fu Shinian and took her to prepare lunch for the family.

When everyone was having lunch at noon, Mr. Zhang told their family about what had happened in the village recently.

After Tong Yiya heard about what happened in the village during the Spring Festival, she found out that several educated youths in the Youth Institute did not go back home at the end of the year and got married with villagers in the winter.

She had never heard of some of the names. She knew immediately that the girl might have just come to the village this year. She had not been to the village much last year because she had just given birth to Yuanyuan.

"Master, those people didn't come to disturb you, did they?" Tong Yiya asked

"No, they are getting married, there is nothing to bother me. In winter, only a few villagers came over when they were sick. The rest of the time, I was alone at home. I was afraid of causing trouble for you, so I didn't dare to go there a few times. I always went there at night," said Mr. Zhang.

"That's good. I'm just worried that those educated youth will come to your house in the name of you being their family member and ask you for help. I'm afraid that something bad will happen to me." Tong Yiya was relieved when she heard that no one came to look for her.

"You should also go to the captain's house later to tell him that you are back from visiting relatives, and then ask when the village will start work," said Mr. Zhang

"Okay, Grandpa Zhang, I'll do it in a moment, just rest assured," Fu Shinian replied.

"Okay, Xiaoya, come with me to the pharmacy later. I'll test you to see if you've fallen behind in your studies during this period," Mr. Zhang said to Tong Yiya.

"Got it, Master. I'll come over after I coax Yuanyuan to sleep," Tong Yiya replied.

After lunch, the people in the family divided the work and started to get busy.

In the afternoon, Fu Shinian and Dong Weibing had to go to the village to find the team leader first. Tong Yiya stayed at home. She fed Yuanyuan first and coaxed her to sleep before going to see Mr. Zhang.

After Fu Shinian and the other returned, they prepared dinner. Under Mr. Zhang's test, Tong Yiya had not forgotten much of what she had learned in pharmacology and even received several compliments.

Later, she was assigned some homework and then allowed to go back to take care of the children.

At dinner in the evening, Fu Shinian said at the table: "Today we went to the captain's house, and he said that this year's work will start a few days later than last year, and will not start until after the 15th."

"Why is it so late this year? I remember we were ready to start work on the tenth day of the first lunar month last year," Tong Yiya asked

"The captain said that the snow melted late this year, so we have to start work later," Fu Shinian replied.

"Is that so? No wonder this year feels much colder than the previous two years," said Mr. Zhang.

Tong Yiya and the others had just returned from Beijing, so they didn't feel any difference, but Mr. Zhang had lived in the village for several years, so he was relatively familiar with the temperature.

"Really? I thought it was like this every year at this time," Tong Yiya said

"It's different. It's going to be a lot colder this year," Mr. Zhang replied.

After they finished their meal, they sat by the fire and chatted for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, they went back to their rooms to rest.

The next few days were like this. That night, Tong Yiya and her husband returned to the house to rest. She lay on the bed and thought about what Fu Shinian had said to Grandpa Fu before the Chinese New Year, that he was going to find a job in the city this year. He had been back for several days, and the village was also going to start working. She also wanted to know what Fu Shinian was thinking, so she asked, "Shi Nian, didn't you tell Grandpa during the Chinese New Year that you wanted to find a job in town after you came back? What are your plans?"

"Well, I've been asking people about this, but there's no news recently. I'm thinking of working in the village first, and then getting a job when I hear there's a job opening," said Fu Shinian.

"So you've already made arrangements. I thought you forgot about it after you came back," Tong Yiya said.

"Of course, since I've told my family, I have to do it. I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would worry," Fu Shinian said.

"That's good. If you have any extra job opportunities, why not find one for me? Yuanyuan will start learning to walk after the New Year, and it's not good for me to stay at home all the time," said Tong Yiya.

"What's wrong? Did someone say something unpleasant? Don't worry about it. I have no objection to you taking care of the children at home," Fu Shinian said.

"No, I just think this is our little home, and I can't let you bear the burden alone," Tong Yiya said.

"Then you don't have to think too much. You taking care of our children is also a kind of contribution. And you are not just taking care of the children at home, right? In the future, I will also need your help to take care of things outside of work. This is also a kind of contribution, isn't it?" Fu Shinian said as he hugged the person in his arms.

I don’t know how long the two of them talked afterwards, but Tong Yiya fell asleep unknowingly.

After the construction started in the village, Tong Yiya also turned over the vegetable garden at home and planted various vegetables, fruits, and a few corns. These were the young corns she planted to eat.

Yuanyuan would play in the wooden stroller that Fu Shinian made in his spare time. As long as the child could see her, she would play by herself all day long.
