Chapter 166 Summer Relief Tea

Sure enough, on this hot afternoon, two patients who had suffered from heatstroke due to working were brought in at once!

This really worried Shen Xiaoxiao. If this continued, the number of people suffering from heatstroke would definitely increase! So, she hurriedly went to the team leader to discuss countermeasures.

"Little girl, do you have any ideas?" the captain asked directly.

After careful consideration, Shen Xiaoxiao prescribed a formula specifically for preventing heatstroke.

The captain took it and glanced at it. He didn't understand anything; all he saw was that the chrysanthemum could reduce internal heat.

Then, she was busy all afternoon, personally brewing three large pots of heatstroke prevention medicine and having several villagers deliver them to the fields.

Every villager who was working hard received a bowl. After drinking it, they felt refreshed and relaxed, as if a clear spring had flowed through their hearts.

Since then, no one has suffered from heatstroke.

Every time the time came to serve the refreshing tea, Dai Xingyun would seize the opportunity to gaze silently at Shen Xiaoxiao when she wasn't paying attention.

His gaze was like a gentle breeze, quietly brushing over Shen Xiaoxiao's face, hair, and figure.

Shen Xiaoxiao was not entirely unaware of it.

She often wandered through the bustling crowds, seemingly nonchalant, but in reality, she was secretly searching for Dai Xingyun.

When their eyes met by chance, it was as if two bolts of lightning clashed suddenly, bursting forth with a dazzling spark.

This brief eye contact was like a fleeting glimpse of a beautiful bird, gone in an instant.

As if struck by an electric current, they almost simultaneously averted their gazes, each feigning nonchalance and indifference.

Since then, Shen Xiaoxiao's life has undergone subtle changes.

She no longer works in the fields; her primary task each day is to carefully brew three large pots of refreshing and thirst-quenching summer tea.

As for the Shen family, although they had tasted the coolness and sweetness of these summer teas, a complex and indescribable emotion always lingered deep within their hearts.

Whenever they think about how their hardworking, capable, and intelligent granddaughter was so inexplicably "given away" to them, a feeling of regret and loss wells up in their hearts.

Looking at how the Shen family is doing better and better, leaving their own family far behind, this gap makes them feel increasingly unbalanced.

That familiar figure has gradually faded into the distance, and I'm filled with regret, but it's too late.

They wanted to cause trouble but didn't dare, since Shen Zishan no longer had any feelings for them. Even the family genealogy was no longer at home.

I saw them on the street but they didn't say hello.

On this day, as usual, Shen Xiaoxiao began to carefully brew the summer tea that could relieve heat and quench thirst.

Soon, the rich aroma of tea filled the air, filling the entire room with a fresh and pleasant scent.

After waiting for the tea to cool down, Shen Yiyan and Shen Zishan worked together to carefully carry the summer tea to the fields.

As they walked along, they would warmly offer a bowl of cool and thirst-quenching tea to every villager they encountered who was working.

The villagers took the bowls one after another, drank the wine in big gulps, and smiled with satisfaction, praising Shen Xiaoxiao highly.

Meanwhile, Shen Xiaoxiao was busy helping to brew tea and serve water, working up a sweat and her clothes were soaked through. Finally, when she finished her work, she couldn't wait to run home and take a long, refreshing shower.

Shen Xiaoxiao felt refreshed after taking a shower, but as soon as she stepped out of her house, she suddenly found that her way was blocked by a soldier in camouflage.

Shen Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel puzzled. She looked up at the unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar face in front of her and politely asked, "Comrade, may I ask what brings you here?"

The man smiled slightly and looked at Shen Xiaoxiao with gentle eyes, saying, "Hello! I visited your home about a month ago and had a glass of water here to quench my thirst. Do you remember me?"

As he spoke, Leng Feng carefully observed the changes in Shen Xiaoxiao's expression.

After his reminder, Shen Xiaoxiao suddenly realized and quickly nodded, saying, "Oh, it's you! I remember, it was my brother who brought you in for a drink of water. You're not wearing your military uniform today, so I almost didn't recognize you."

After hearing Shen Xiaoxiao's answer, Leng Feng nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what she meant.

Then he asked, "So, is your brother home now? I came here specifically to discuss some things with him."

Shen Xiaoxiao gently shook her head, then stretched out her slender finger and pointed to the vast, boundless fields in the distance.

He explained, “I’m so sorry, my brother is working in that field right now. If you want to find him, just follow this path straight ahead.”

"When you walk through the fields, if you see someone, just shout loudly, and you should be able to find them easily."

"Thank you!" Leng Feng thanked Shen Xiao with a smile, then strode away quickly.
