Tang Yue just smiled and continued washing the herbs without saying anything more.

Li Qingyang has figured it out now; it seems this little girl is in charge of the Tang family. She wasn't home a few days ago; Comrade Chang brought her back.

He seemed to have heard that Comrade Chang was a battalion commander. It looks like the little girl might have joined the army this time. Perhaps she even played a part in the medicinal herb factory incident.

Tang Yue had completely healed Tang Dong and Tang Nan's internal organs. However, she still prepared a considerable amount of medicine for them. She did not treat their external injuries. This trip back from the army made Tang Yue realize that she should try to be more like an ordinary person in the future.

From now on, I need to get up early every morning to practice boxing and kung fu with my brothers. All these skills need to have a proper origin.

After receiving the message from the army, Director Xie immediately began making arrangements in the commune, and the news spread quickly. That afternoon, Captain Qin Yi of Daonan Village and Captain Yang Zhanli of Yangjiazhuang Village went to the commune.

Both men were carrying two strips of cured meat. When they met at Director Xie's door, they first glared at each other angrily, then immediately burst into laughter and greeted each other.

"Hey, Captain Qin, what brings you to the commune at this hour?"

"Oh, the autumn harvest is just around the corner, so I came over to ask Director Xie when it starts. What brings Captain Yang here too?"

"Oh, me too."

Director Xie had just finished arranging things and came out of another room. Hearing the two exchanging pleasantries, he knew what they meant.

"I'm busy these next few days. We can catch up with the harvest in a few more days. You should go back first."

Qin Yi and Yang Zhanli immediately turned around and looked at Director Xie with smiles.

"Oh dear, Director Xie, what are you doing? I don't come here often, and I wanted to learn more from you before I went back."

Director Xie rolled his eyes at Captain Yang and said, "Stop joking around and come in."

After opening the door, the two followed Director Xie into the house.

Qin Yi placed the two pieces of cured meat on Director Xie's desk. "Director, these were made by our production team. I brought them over for you to try."

Yang Zhanli echoed, "Yes, yes, this was made by our production team. It tastes great. Director Xie, could you please give me some feedback?"

Director Xie sighed, "Are you two dogs? Your noses are so sensitive?"

Qin Yi sat across the table. "Director Xie, how can we say that Daonan Village hasn't brought shame to our Erqi Commune all these years? Now that something good has happened, how can we not think of Daonan Village?"

Yang Zhanli followed closely behind, "Yes, Director Xie, our Yangjiazhuang is not bad either. Our land is taken very well. We were the first to come and hand over our grain tax that year."

Director Xie was getting a headache from their commotion. "Alright, I can't make that decision. There's no room for discussion. Take your things back and go do what you were doing!"

The two men didn't believe him, exchanged a glance, and continued, "Director Xie, is there anything in this commune that you can't decide?"

Director Xie was very angry. "This was personally requested by the military. They said that if it's not in Daobei Village, then it's not in Erqi Commune. Do you understand? Instead of arguing with me here, you should hurry up and go to Daobei Village to see how you can get some quotas from Li Qingyang for your village."

The two had never seen Director Xie lose his temper like this before. Qin Yi straightened his expression and asked, "Director Xie, was this really a decision made by the military?"

Director Xie looked up angrily and glared at him, "What, you think I lied to you?"

Qin Yi quickly smiled apologetically, "No, no. I just wanted to confirm with you. But why does it have to be Daobei Village?"

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? Alright, alright. Get out of here, stop lingering. I'm not letting you in."

The two men came out of Director Xie's office. "Old Qin, logically speaking, Daobei Village has no advantage at all. With Li Da's personality, what good things can he possibly bring?"

Qin Yi looked at him, "You don't know?"

Yang Zhanli looked at him. "What should I know?"

Qin Yi saw that he seemed genuinely unaware, "Daobei Village has a new brigade leader."

"What? That coward got replaced? Who has that ability?"

"Didn't you hear him just now? His name is Li Qingyang. It seems that the 'Qing' generation is the next generation after Li Da. Li Da is quite shrewd; he quit his job and promoted his own nephew."

Yang Zhanli muttered the name, "Li Qingyang, the next generation after Li Da, he can't be more than 40, right? Why did they bring in such a greenhorn? He might not even be as good as Li Da."

Qin Yi shook his head, "I don't know, we'll find out when we go and see."

Yang Zhanli quickly followed, "Hey, Lao Qin, don't leave me behind."

Li Qingyang had already thought through all the locations of Daobei Village in his mind and had some ideas.

"Yueyue, do you have any requests?"

Tang Yue looked up at him. "What did Uncle Li mean?"

Li Qingyang smiled and asked, "Doesn't Yueyue have any requirements for the medicinal herb processing plant?"

Tang Yue thought Li Qingyang was quite smart.

"Yes, my grandpa and my mom will both be working there in the future, and the work will be easy."

Li Qingyang smiled. He felt that this was something Tang Yue could handle, but it wasn't difficult. Besides, she should have already spoken with the military, so he shouldn't need to do anything about it.

"Yueyue, I don't need to arrange this."

Tang Yue's eyes lit up; this Li Qingyang was quite clever.

"Well, when we have money in a while, Uncle Li, let's build a school in our village. It doesn't need to be too big, just a primary school will do."

"ah?"

"What?"

Li Qingyang and Miao Yujiao were surprised that Tang Yue would bring this up. Li Qingyang thought it was feasible; a school was a good thing. Miao Yujiao, however, had more to say. "Yueyue, the key is that we have a school, but we don't have any teachers."
