Chapter 391 A Different Red Leaf Village

The vegetables were quickly washed, and the lamb was already roasting.

Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou are staying for many days this time. So, they prepared their room early in the morning.

Duan Huaying gave up her room for Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou. He then went to stay with Duan Zhanji and Zhou Weidang.

In any case, none of the three people were very old, so living together didn't feel crowded. None of them had any objections to this.

After settling Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou in, Zhao Yalan began to sort through the New Year's gifts they had brought.

There are plenty of cured meats and dried seafood, perfect for adding to dishes during the Lunar New Year. Besides that, there are brown sugar, honey, soybeans, red beans, candied dates… all sorts of other treats.

The medicine prepared for Duan Zhanji was as big as a box. The opening of the medicine was covered with beeswax to extend its shelf life.

After tidying up the things Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou brought, the group sat down together to eat sunflower seeds and chat.

The lively atmosphere could be felt from a great distance.

Next door, a woman holding her child spoke to her husband.

"Chief of Staff Duan is truly a blessed man. First came Fang Mei's family, and now Zhao Yalan has arrived. I heard from Xiao Bao that Chief of Staff Duan's family is eating meat every day now..."

As she spoke, the envy in her sister-in-law's eyes was almost overflowing.

There are quite a few people who share the same thoughts as this sister-in-law.

Everyone initially thought that Duan Zhao, who couldn't have children, would be treated badly by his wife after remarrying. Unexpectedly, in just a few months, their life got better and better.

Many people who initially felt pity and regret have now turned to envy.

That evening, Su Nuannuan enjoyed a sumptuous roasted whole lamb. She even specifically requested that an extra layer of honey sauce be brushed on the outside.

The juicy lamb, coated in a crispy skin infused with the aroma of honey, is incredibly delicious.

The mutton had no gamey smell at all, was very juicy, and had a tender and succulent texture; it was truly delicious.

Duan Huaying and Duan Zhanji were already gnawing on a large bone, their faces covered in grease.

Su Nuannuan and the others also liked it very much.

Towards the end of the meal, the group realized that one whole roasted lamb was simply not enough for them.

Fortunately, Su Nuannuan and Zhao Yalan cooked a lot of dishes, and everyone finished them all.

It's been a long time since we've had such a lively meal; everyone was quite full afterward.

Just then, Duan Zhao spoke to Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou.

"I have found the tea seedlings you want. I will take you there tomorrow."

Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou had already forgotten about asking Zhao Yalan and Duan Zhao to find tea seedlings. They hadn't expected that the other person still remembered.

However, Su Nuannuan realized that she was missing two tea trees in her courtyard in Heilongjiang Province.

So she asked.

"Brother-in-law, where are the tea seedlings?"

Before asking, Su Nuannuan had already guessed that tea seedlings only grew in rural areas.

Duan Zhao answered quickly.

"It's in Hongye Village, not far from the military base. I heard from the soldiers that there are quite a few tea trees there. I've seen it myself, and there are indeed quite a few tea trees. You can go and dig up a couple to take with you."

Su Nuannuan nodded, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes.

It's not far from the military base.

They could go and take a look at this Red Leaf Village.

After thinking it over, Su Nuannuan answered.

“Okay, in a couple of days, my brother-in-law will take us to see it.”

It would be even better if we could discover another rare variety of tea. Duan Zhao nodded with a smile.

Su Nuannuan was living a very comfortable life in the military region, except that taking a bath was a bit inconvenient. Every time she wanted to take a bath, she had to use firewood to heat the water.

Fortunately, Su Nuannuan had a spatial dimension, and most of the time, she would simply pull Chu Mingzhou into the dimension to take a shower.

During this time, Su Nuannuan got along very well with the women in the family compound.

Although they all have their flaws, big and small, they are all kind-hearted and have not done anything harmful to others or themselves out of dislike or jealousy.

Su Nuannuan really liked the neighborhood atmosphere in the military compound.

A few days later, Duan Zhao brought Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou to Red Leaf Village, and Zhao Yalan followed along out of curiosity.

Hongye Village is not large; it is a very small village with many elderly people or middle-aged people who are quite old.

To Su Nuannuan's surprise, the people here were actually living quite well. They had rosy complexions and round cheeks, unlike the thin villagers of Baitou Village.

Su Nuannuan immediately noticed the difference in Red Leaf Village.

Duan Zhao quickly provided an answer.

"Although Hongye Village is not large, it mainly relies on tea cultivation for a living. The supply and marketing cooperative in the county town comes to purchase tea every month, which brings income to Hongye Village."

Su Nuannuan then understood why the villagers of Red Leaf Village lived better than those in other places.

Upon entering Red Leaf Village, Su Nuannuan was greeted by the fragrant aroma of tea. Tea trees were planted everywhere in the village.

Unlike the haphazard growth of tea trees in Baitou Village, the tea trees in Hongye Village grow in a structured and predictable manner. Moreover, their appearance clearly indicates that they are being cared for.

The village chief of Hongye Village is an old man who is almost sixty years old. Although he is old, he is very agile and can walk like the wind.

The old man was very happy to hear that Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou had come to exchange grain for tea seedlings.

Unlike the simple village of Baitou, the villagers of Hongye Village have a deep understanding of tea trees.

They were unwilling to exchange the precious tea tree varieties. Therefore, they only offered some common tea tree varieties.

Su Nuannuan didn't feel any dissatisfaction.

She randomly selected a few trees and traded them with Hongye Village for dozens of kilograms of coarse grains.

Although the tea seedlings they obtained in Hongye Village weren't of the best variety, they were already considered quite good for planting in their courtyard in Heilongjiang Province. They wouldn't even mind if someone uprooted them.

After replacing the tea seedlings, Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou enjoyed a few more days of leisurely life.

Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou did not return to the hospital until the day before the barefoot doctor training course was to begin.

Zhao Yalan knew that Su Nuannuan would be returning to Heilongjiang Province in a month.

She hugged Su Nuannuan and cried uncontrollably, while Duan Huaying also sobbed with her head down. Although Duan Zhanji didn't cry, he was visibly dejected.

Looking at the three little crybabies in front of her, Su Nuannuan comforted them with a smile.

"Alright, alright. We still have a month before we leave. You must come to see Mingzhou and me off then."

Zhao Yalan nodded hurriedly and said.

"I will definitely give it to you!"

Back at the hospital, Su Nuannuan was surprised to find that Ding Tong and Lin Guangqi had made new progress.

The atmosphere between the two had clearly become sticky and affectionate. It was impossible for Su Nuannuan not to notice.

Li Mi has also returned.

He brought many local specialties from the southern province for the group to eat.

Knowing that Su Nuannuan and the others would be returning in a month, he gave them a lot of dried mushrooms.

This surprised Su Nuannuan.
