Chapter 96: Tea
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Jiang Chun agreed very much and praised, “That’s right. Compared to those men in the city who can’t do any hard labor, Xiao Sheng is really a very responsible and dutiful.”
Yu Bing thought of how Xiao Sheng often looked expressionless when she first met him. She suddenly smiled and said, “Indeed, and he’s quite good-looking. It’s just that when we’re not familiar with each other, and he always looks so aloof!”
They were chatting when they heard a knock on the door.
After Yu Bing opened the door, she realized that it was Fu Qi, who was in the same group as Jiang Chun.
When Fu Qi saw that it was Yu Bing, she immediately smiled and greeted her. Yu Bing was now a popular person in the village. “Hello, Yu Bing. I’m here to look for Jiang Chun.”
When Jiang Chun heard her name, she looked out the kitchen window. “Fu Qi, what’s the matter?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFu Qi’s hearty voice sounded. “Didn’t you say you wanted to learn how to make soles? You’ve been busy recently, right?”
Only then did Jiang Chun think of this. Because her parents were frugal, her father’s shoes had already been patched twice before she left. Therefore, she wanted to send them home directly. This way, her father couldn’t reject her.
Jiang Chun estimated that an hour or two of learning would be enough. In any case, she would have to finish lunch before going up the mountain. There was still time, so she took two steamed sweet potatoes and left the kitchen. “Today is fine. I’ll go to the house with you now.”
When she reached the door, she turned to look at Yu Bing. “Yu Bing, I’ll go to Fu Qi’s house for a while. I’ll come back at noon.”
Yu Bing replied, “Alright, there’s no hurry.” Then, she gave them both a knowing look.
After Jiang Chun left, Yu Bing turned around and entered the house, planning to read the breeding book she had found in the county city.
The doors of rural family homes were rarely closed except for when they slept or when no one was home. After coming to the countryside, Yu Bing slowly developed such a habit.
Because it was a blind spot, Yu Bing didn’t see anyone sneak into the kitchen and pour something into the teapot.
After half an hour, Yu Bing felt a little thirsty and went to the kitchen to pour tea. Li Ping hid behind the tractor in the courtyard. Through the gap, she saw Yu Bing raise her head, and Li Ping revealed a fierce smile.
Li Ping saw Yu Bing stay in the kitchen for a while before carrying the teapot into the room. She quickly ran out of the courtyard and waved at Yao Nian, who was standing in the distance. Then she walked towards the village. Her mission was completed. The rest was up to Yao Nian.
Yao Nian specifically waited for a few minutes before looking around to confirm that there was no one around before entering Yu Bing’s house and quietly closing the door.
At this moment, Yu Bing was in the room. Yao Nian called out tentatively as he approached the door, “Yu Bing, are you there?”
When Yu Bing heard someone calling, she got off the bed. Just as she walked to the hall, she saw Yao Nian enter and asked curiously, “Why are you here?”
Yao Nian’s face stiffened and he felt a little annoyed. The drug was too slow, so he quickly found an excuse. “I wanted to ask about the recruitment at the factory.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlthough the factory was opening next year, many people were already asking questions. Upon hearing Yao Nian’s question, Yu Bing didn’t get suspicious. “Recently, many people have asked me, but I’ve been busy with the orchard and farm, so I haven’t had time to make plans.”
Yu Bing picked up the teapot on the table and poured a bowl of tea before Yao Nian. “Have some tea.”
Yao Nian saw that the tea was still steaming in front of the table. He held the bowl in his hand but didn’t drink. “Thank you. Have a cup too. The weather is very dry in utumn. You should drink more water to dry your throat.”
Yu Bing looked at Yao Nian with a burning gaze and said, “I just drank a big cup and the teapot ran out of tea, so I specifically filled it with water from the pot. The hawthorn tea leaves are also freshly brewed. Drink it while it’s hot.”
Yao Nian was relieved when he heard that it was newly filled water. He thought that at most, a little bit of powder would get into the teapot and it wouldn’t affect him that much. Besides, it would be suspicious if he didn’t drink it. Hence, he took a few sips and continued to find a topic to talk about. “Then will we recruit more people? The people in my dormitory is quite concerned. They wanted me to ask because they aren’t familiar with you.”
Yu Bing smiled meaningfully. How could someone like Yao Nian be so kind? She didn’t believe it!
However, since the other party had come to consult her nicely, she had no choice but to answer. “Because it’s a factory, there are indeed certain educational requirements for the recruitment staff. We will have an interview at that time. Be it the villagers or the intellectuals, we will choose the best.”
Yao Nian found a few more topics to ask Yu Bing about. After a few questions, Yu Bing replied impatiently, “I’ll inform everyone after I’ve planned. I can’t answer all of them now. You can go back first.”
