Married to the Northwest, the soft-waisted wife was spoiled by the rough man

Shen Zichen warned himself not to meddle in other people's business, but when he saw that Ji Sisi had not made any progress for a long time, he realized that she had not made any progress.

He felt like countless ants were crawling in his heart, making him feel extremely uncomfortable. He lowered his eyes to glance at the firewood that had been picked up on the ground. Shen Zichen gritted his teeth, tied up the firewood, carried it on his back, and walked towards Ji Sisi.

Ji Sisi searched for a long time but couldn't find any trace of the Cordyceps head. Just when she was wondering if she had made a wrong judgment and there was no Cordyceps in this area, a rather helpless male voice came from behind her.

"You're stepping on a cordyceps grass. Can you really not see it at all?"

Shen Zichen was speechless, wondering if Ji Sisi had come to dig Cordyceps without doing any homework, how ignorant and greedy.

If he hadn't really been unable to bear the sight and felt sorry for losing such good Cordyceps, he definitely wouldn't have come over.

Ji Sisi hurriedly raised her feet and stepped back repeatedly. She looked up at Shen Zichen, a man about 1.8 meters tall, with his clothes and trousers full of patches and the bottoms of his trousers short. He had regular features and smooth facial lines, and looked good, but the way he looked at her was as if he was looking at a mentally retarded person...

Shen Zichen put the firewood aside, bent down and lay on the ground, carefully pulling away the flattened grass with his hands, and the brown Cordyceps heads appeared in their sight.

Ji Sisi's pupils shrank slightly, she opened her mouth but didn't know what to say, and she became excited.

Shen Zichen pulled out a sharp branch from the firewood, and inserted the branch into the soil at a distance of four fingers from the Cordyceps. Then he exerted force with his hands to loosen the soil. He dug up the soil and took out a Cordyceps from the soil.

"That's amazing! Are you a herdsman from nearby? Or a member of the cooperative?"

Ji Sisi's eyes never left the Cordyceps in his palm.

"Neither of them. I am an educated youth from Kyoto who went to the countryside. I don't look for Cordyceps the same way you do. You need to prepare a small hoe to dig. I have just demonstrated how to dig. Keep four fingers apart and don't dig into the roots of the Cordyceps."

Shen Zichen glanced at her, his hands empty, "You can't dig it out with your hands alone."

Shen Zichen threw the Cordyceps in his hand to the ground casually, picked up the firewood and prepared to leave. "If you dig it up for your family or take it yourself, remember not to take too much. Overdosage can cause irreversible damage to your organs."

Ji Sisi was the first person to look for Cordyceps since he had been here. This thing cannot be sold, so she most likely dug it up for consumption.

Cordyceps can nourish the kidneys and lungs, stop bleeding and resolve phlegm, but Ji Sisi has red lips and white teeth, is full of energy and blood, and is in good spirits. She doesn't look like someone who needs kidney nourishment.

The only explanation is that there is someone else who needs to be replaced.

Shen Zichen remembered Fang Fei's words, that Ji Sisi was the lover of the director of the research institute, so the person who needed to be replaced must be the director.

Shen Zichen turned and left. A middle-aged man over fifty with hair loss appeared in his mind. He had an expressionless face and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Ji Sisi picked up the Cordyceps on the ground, looked at it and then looked at Shen Zichen's back.

"Comrade, you know about Cordyceps, why don't you dig it?"

Ji Sisi didn't believe that he didn't know how precious Cordyceps was. One strand of it could be worth 50 cents to 2 yuan.

Shen Zichen paused, "It's useless to dig it up. I don't need it to replenish my body, and I can't sell it. In my eyes, this thing is no different from a weed."

Replenish the body. Why does Ji Sisi feel that his words have some hidden meaning?

Ji Sisi tried to persuade Shen Zichen to stay, "I have a way to exchange Cordyceps for some money. Do you want to cooperate with me?"

Her intuition told her that this man must know something about herbs, definitely more than just Cordyceps. If they could cooperate, she would be able to develop more herbs hidden on the grassland in the future.

Shen Zichen stopped and looked half-believing and half-doubting.

"any solution?"

Ji Sisi raised her lips and smiled, "If you teach me how to dig Cordyceps and distinguish between good and bad, I will tell you."

Ji Sisi's idea hit Shen Zichen's heart directly. He needed money, very much!

Before going to the countryside, he only has one yuan left out of the twenty yuan his father gave him. In the past two years, Shen Zichen has had no help from his family, so he can only work harder than other educated youth and put in twice as much labor as them to get more work points to make a living.

His cotton-padded jacket and quilt were stolen by someone, so he had to save money to buy one during this summer and autumn, otherwise he would freeze to death in winter.

Shen Zichen had thought about selling Cordyceps, but he was deterred by the thought of the consequences of being discovered.

With no hope of returning home, he couldn't afford to make mistakes.

Now that Ji Sisi mentioned it, Shen Zichen became interested. She was different from himself. She was the lover of the director of the research institute, so she must have more ways and they were much safer.

"I promise you, but identifying Cordyceps and digging Cordyceps are very simple things. It's not a cooperation. I just need you to help me sell it once for two dollars."

Ji Sisi nodded and raised the Cordyceps in her hand. "Okay, today is the best day. First, tell me what the Cordyceps in my hand looks like, and then take me to dig a few more to try."

"It's good if it wasn't stepped on by you." Shen Zichen put down the firewood, took the Cordyceps from Ji Sisi's hand, and began to teach her how to distinguish the quality of Cordyceps.

Ji Sisi stood beside Shen Zichen and studied, silently taking note of the key points of what Shen Zichen said.

"What do you think those two are doing?"

Wang Cuicui was just about to pack up and go back, and subconsciously looked in the direction of Ji Sisi. She saw Ji Sisi and a tall man standing together, both of them talking about something.

"A single man and a single woman. Ji Sisi is really shameless. A person who is about to get married is hanging out with a male educated youth."

Li Hongying was always paying attention to Wang Cuicui. When she saw that she was picking on Ji Sisi again, she spoke in dissatisfaction.

"If you have the time to worry about others, why don't you take care of yourself first? You just like to meddle in other people's business all day long. What? Do you think everyone is dead? There are so many eyes watching us, and you can still say such things."

Wang Cuicui was embarrassed, and the highland red on her cheeks deepened with anger. "You know nothing. If she didn't have any ulterior motives, why would she run so far? As soon as she left, the man followed her. Isn't this a problem?"

"Besides, this is a matter of Director Qi's reputation. Director Qi's affairs are our hospital's affairs, and our hospital's affairs are the family compound's affairs. Do you think I should intervene in this matter? But you, you are not from our hospital, and you are meddling in other people's business if you stop me!"

After Wang Cuicui finished talking to Li Hongying, she raised her chin and strode away proudly, carrying the basket on her back.

She had to bring this good news to Guo Xiaolan and take her with her to find Qi Yan. Wang Cuicui was glad that she didn't write a letter to her cousin. If she could get Ji Sisi away, maybe she could really let her cousin marry Director Qi.

This way her husband would also be valued. The more Wang Cuicui thought about it, the more excited she became. Her feet seemed to be greased, and she arrived in only half an hour instead of an hour's journey.

Guo Xiaolan was called out by Wang Cuicui.

"Sister-in-law, where are we going?" Guo Xiaolan took the initiative to show her affection to Fang Shijie last night but was rejected. Now she is feeling very upset.

I really don’t know if Fang Shijie is a true gentleman or just not interested in her.

"Go find Director Qi and ask him to ask Ji Sisi to apologize to you. I also have something important to discuss with him in person."

After hearing Wang Cuicui's words, Guo Xiaolan's alarm bells rang, and she immediately shook off her hand, "I won't go. Ji Sisi and I have nothing. She doesn't need to apologize to me."
