Chapter 1123 Stepfather 34
Three days later, Tao Ying recovered from the cold and stopped coughing.
She pulled her son and whispered softly, "Son, just point it out to me. I won't cause any trouble to my benefactor."
Shen Yi glanced at the crowd and said calmly, "She's not here."
But just as he finished speaking, he saw Yuanchun coming around the corner. His eyes lit up slightly, and he turned to his mother and said, "The little girl with double braids, a dark blue jacket, and two patches on her shoulders at three o'clock in the southeast direction is her."
"It's a little girl." Tao Ying looked over and recognized her benefactor at a glance. "She is so beautiful. I didn't expect that such a beautiful girl could be raised in this remote mountain village."
"Mom, don't look over there, someone has noticed us." Shen Yi reminded quietly.
Tao Ying quickly withdrew her gaze, lowered her head, and leaned weakly on her son, "Mom is a little tired, let me lean on you."
"Wife, lean on me." Shen Cheng helped his wife over and leaned on him. He said distressedly, "Wife, I'll go talk to the captain. Can you take a leave today?"
"No need. Captain Cao can take care of us in secret. We can't cause him any more trouble."
Grandpa Shen and Shen Cheng are both bigwigs in the department. The captain's second son is a subordinate of Shen Cheng. The Shen family was able to be sent to Hongqi Village, which was also secretly arranged by Shen Cheng's good friend in the department.
On the second day after the Shen family arrived in Hongqi Village, the team leader received a call from his son. That night, the team leader secretly sent two old quilts and some food, eggs and dried vegetables to the Shen family.
Yesterday, the team leader picked some fresh vegetables from his backyard and secretly delivered them to the thatched cottage.
The reason why Tao Ying recovered from her cold so quickly was that she had taken good care of herself in the past few days, eating enough and drinking enough, and even eating an egg every day. Also, after she settled down, her heart also settled down, so she recovered quickly.
All the Shen family members worked in the pig farm. When there was no work in the fields, Yuanchun was unwilling to rest, so she took the job of cutting grass for the pigs.
She worked quickly and could collect ten or so baskets of pig grass a day. One basket of pig grass was worth two work points. Yuanchun could earn more than twenty work points a day, making everyone in the village envious.
The villagers were jealous and also ran to take the job of collecting grass for pigs. However, the area around Hongqi Village was so small that all the nearby pig grass had been collected. The villagers did not dare to go into the mountains for fear of encountering wild boars or wolves.
So, the villagers worked hard all day and only collected one or two baskets of pig grass, and some baskets were not even full, and they only got one work point.
After that, the craze for collecting pig grass dissipated.
Yuanchun could collect seven or eight baskets of pig grass every day, which was more work points than what she earned from the autumn harvest and spring plowing. The villagers were jealous, but no one was as brave as Yuanchun, who dared to go into the mountains and work hard to earn work points.
On this day, Yuanchun was stewing pheasant soup in the secret base. Suddenly, she heard a slight noise outside the cave. She picked up the hatchet and moved cautiously towards the cave entrance.
Suddenly, a tall figure walked in. Yuanchun subconsciously wanted to chop him with an axe, but the man turned his body to the side to avoid the sharp knife.
"it's me."
The visitor said in a low voice.
Yuanchun looked up and saw that it was Shen Yi.
She quickly put away the hatchet and said, "Sorry, I thought it was a wild boar."
Shen Yi: “…”
He suspected that the girl was scolding him.
He has evidence.
Yuanchun smiled awkwardly, "Hello, I'm Xu Yuanchun."
"Hello, I'm Shen Yi."
It was not the first time the two met, but it was the first time they formally got to know each other.
