In the blink of an eye, it was spring of 1962. Tong Zhan and his team started working, and Ye Huan took the child to the clinic.
When the child was hungry, she went to nurse, and when she was free, the teachers helped with the childcare, while she busied herself attending to the warriors' medical needs.
Of course, buying medicinal plant seeds from the mainland and locally became a daily routine for the couple. Occasionally, she would sun-dry the medicinal herbs she prepared at the regiment headquarters.
Besides, brewing alcohol with grain and soaking herbal wine for the warriors to wash with became part of her daily routine as well.
The summer of '62 saw Ye Yu carrying the child on vacation to their home, bringing lots and lots of stones. From two large baskets of stones, she picked out US$ 10 to US$ 20 worth of jade stones. Ye Huan didn't hold back from her sister, but if these stones fetched a good price in the future, she was sure to share half with the couple.
