The space she occupied was indeed magical; no matter what survival conditions were needed outside, or how delicate the herbs might be, they thrived here.
Yu Suihuan crouched down, gazing at the vast expanse of Tianshan Snow Lotus before her. Shouldn't these things be growing at altitudes above a certain height? Their growth cycle must take years, yet here they were, clustered together like vegetables!
Rising to her feet, Yu Suihuan walked along the path of snow lotuses. The hand of Nine Celestial Herbs—was that Tie Pi Shi Hu? Wild ones?
She smacked her lips and continued forward. The leaves were covered in golden threads, blooming with small flowers; could it be the national protected plant, Golden Thread Lotus?
It was indeed Golden Thread Lotus, and wild too! Zheng Chengxiu had somehow caught up with her and continued speaking.
This is something that Jie and I have researched. Rare wild herbs like these can reach a market price of around ten thousand yuan per pound, so we decided to transplant some back!
Seeing Zheng Chengxiu looking like an old scholar, enjoying his current life, she smiled at him. You seem to be talking more than before!
Yes, Xiao Yu, thank you for giving me a new lease on life! By the way, I've changed my name; I’m now called Yu Suihuan!
Yu Suihuan? I’ve heard that! Zheng Chengxiu smiled for a rare moment; his eyes, already small, nearly squinted into slits.
The atmosphere in Jing City Courtyard was noticeably less lively than in the village. On this day, January 8th, Zhou Enlai had passed away, leaving the nation in mourning as mountains and rivers wept.
Yang Qinghe sighed. Now that it's over, I've already said my goodbyes; you should report to the army today!
Today? Why so sudden? I want to return to Shi Gou Village first!
The military is like a mountain; you can't just delay because you want to!
Yang Qinghe gave up arguing; he knew there would be no resolution. Even the final moments of remembrance were not allowed—perhaps this was fate!
After the festival, Yu Fu and Yu Qi returned home. Wang Zhaoran also began preparing for the college entrance examination using the materials provided by Yu Suihuan. Although Yu Suihuan could obtain some exam questions, if he didn't study properly, he might slip up even if he managed to get into university.
Currently, he didn't have to worry much about the Supply and Marketing Cooperative; the few people he had trained were now quite capable. This allowed him to focus all his energy on studying.
As for Yu Suihuan, the only thing weighing on her mind was the Lin Industry Bureau Broadcast Station. Ever since Zheng Chengxiu mysteriously disappeared, she had been the sole person responsible for drafting and broadcasting every day.
On the day of the Awakening of Insects, the villagers were busy farming in the fields, while the Zhiqing were working at Lin Farm to earn their work points. Just as Yu Suihuan locked up the Lin Industry Bureau Broadcast Station and prepared to head home for lunch, she noticed a few young people approaching her.
Initially, she didn’t want to engage with them since she wasn’t one to meddle in others' affairs. However, after taking a few steps, someone called out to her.
“Hey, you! You’re also here in the countryside, right? I’m Huo Dongkai, and this is my older brother Huo Yaojun. These are a few other Zhiqing who came down with us!”
“Oh, you guys!” Yu Suihuan replied with a faint smile towards the others behind Huo Dongkai, not as enthusiastic as he was.
“Um, could you please tell us how to get to the Youth Commune? Would you mind showing us the way?” The man seemed completely unfazed by Yu Suihuan's indifference; he thought she was quite attractive and easily overlooked her demeanor.
Yu Suihuan thought to herself that she might as well do a good deed for the day. After all, they would eventually meet again, and being overly unfriendly wouldn’t be appropriate.
