Insects chirped and birds sang in the jungle. Wild rabbits ate the tender green grass, moving their ears from time to time, alert to the movements around them.
In a gust of wind, Xu Zhiyi, carrying two bags of herbs, was as light as a swallow. He ran a hundred meters in a breath, scaring the birds and rabbits in the forest to fly away.
When Xu Zhiyi returned home, Pei Yan arrived right after he walked in.
Seeing the two bags of herbs Xu Zhiyi placed in the yard, he helped take out the herbs and clean them up with a normal expression.
Xu Zhiyi often sorted herbs in her yard. Pei Yan learned how to handle herbs and often came to help.
Xu Zhiyi thought Pei Yan had no doubts about the two sacks full of herbs on the ground. He didn't ask, and she didn't want to find a reason to lie to him.
The two of them are now in a relationship, and even though they shouldn't hide anything from each other, she doesn't want to reveal all her secrets so soon.
Wait a little longer. It’s not too late to tell him when the time is right.
Usually when Xu Zhiyi went up the mountain to collect herbs, he would carry them in a backpack, but the amount was not as much as a sack on the ground.
"Do we need to wash all of these first?" Pei Yan asked.
"Yes, clean the dirt off the surface and then put it on the rack to dry."
Pei Yan poured out the herbs and found that herbs of the same kind were all about the same size, with fresh soil on their roots and some moisture on their leaves.
It's like the vegetable seedlings planted in the ground, pulled out and put together.
Pei Yan's hands kept moving, and there was no confusion on his face.
He knew that Xu Zhiyi had a secret. Although she didn't say anything, many clues could be seen from her.
Pei Yan didn't care. She would tell him when she wanted to.
When two people work together, the work is much faster.
Spread all the herbs on the racks and wait for them to dry. The weather is good these two days, so they will need to be dried for four or five days.
Mr. Gao’s illness has almost recovered. He has lived in Xiangyang Village for so long and feels much more comfortable than living in the city.
A life with beautiful mountains and clear waters, where you can see mountains and water whenever you go out, and where you have no worries about food and clothing, is not that comfortable and free.
Usually, the Pei family courtyard is bustling with Xu Zhiyi, the Fang brothers and sisters, and the taciturn Pei Yan.
The old man is alone in the city every day, it's not as lively as here.
Some time ago, Gao Zhan said that he wanted to take Old Man Gao back to the city. As soon as he arrived, Old Man Gao pretended to have pain in his heart and body. In short, he refused to go back because he was not well yet.
There is no need to say more about Gao Zhan later. If it weren’t for being too ostentatious and attracting attention, Grandpa Gao would have wanted to build a house next to them and be their neighbor.
After Xu Zhiyi came back from work, he had dinner and went into the pharmacy to make medicine for his wounds.
Thirty bottles of medicine were made, but Mr. Gao found out about it first and took the spoils.
Or buy on credit.
It is also reasonable to say that the father buys things and the son pays the bill.
Xu Zhiyi blamed Gao Zhan for this.
Anyway, it was his own father who cheated his son.
But she still needs to go and collect some more herbs.
After this batch of herbs was prepared, there was more farm work to do in the village and everyone had to get busy again.
Just before the busy farming season began, it was time for Xie Tang to report to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.
The educated youth site spontaneously organized a farewell party, which was also a gathering.
"Zhiyi, tomorrow is our day off. We haven't gathered for a long time. The educated youth have decided to get together tomorrow. Otherwise, after I go to school, I don't know if we will be able to meet again."
"Come along." Xie Tang stood there with a smile, still looking like the older sister who cared for the new educated youths at the educated youth center.
But Xu Zhiyi knew that this person was not as kind as he seemed.
Luo Mei is jumping around at the educated youth site, and there must be someone behind the scenes fanning the flames.
As for this person, it was Xie Tang, who was always considered kind and generous by everyone.
"I'm busy." You're about to leave, why are you still pretending to be a good person? Aren't you tired?
The smile on Xie Tang's face froze. He didn't expect Xu Zhiyi to refuse so bluntly.
Didn't she know that the educated youth camp was the only place where people could be united? The villagers treated the educated youth as outsiders, and that was why they had to unite.
"Zhiyi, the Youth League Center is the foundation. You can't always act independently. If you encounter any problems, it's still the people at the Youth League Center who will help you."
Xie Tang didn't know that Xu Zhiyi already knew about her meddling in the previous events and was still nagging about them.
"Xie Zhiqing, I told you, I'm busy." Xu Zhiqing interrupted her calmly.
Xie Tang clenched his hands at his sides, but he still smiled, "Okay then."
After being ignored by Xu Zhiyi, Xie Tang looked a little unhappy when he returned.
"What's the matter, Sister Xie Tang? Even if you come forward, Xu Zhiyi may not listen to you." Luo Mei said in a somewhat harsh tone.
Seeing that her painstaking efforts and her blind efforts following Xie Tang's advice were not only fruitless, but also rumors about her were spread in the village.
In the end, the spot fell into the hands of the person who claimed to help her. Luo Mei was even a little angry with Xie Tang.
"Zhiyi can't come because of something, so it's just us. I went to the village to get a chicken and brought it back to make a meal for everyone."
Seeing that there was chicken to eat, Luo Mei chose to shut up.
Gan Tiantian and others naturally did not want to be ungrateful, so they picked a lot of vegetables grown by her and Zhaodi.
They got a lot of vegetable seedlings from Xu Zhiyi for their vegetable plot. Fang Kai and Gu Liang fetched water frequently on weekdays, and Shen Zhaodi took good care of it.
After catching insects and weeding, applying fertilizer and watering, a lot of tomatoes and cucumbers have grown, and peppers are also growing in batches, as well as a lot of small green vegetables.
