Sister Liu was very busy along the way. She talked a lot and Li Tingyun listened and occasionally answered a few words.

Sister Liu talked about some things that happened in the nearby villages, and Li Tingyun gained some knowledge.

When they arrived at the village entrance, Sister Liu wanted to ask her driver to take the person in, but was rejected by Li Tingyun.

"No, it will have a bad influence. I'm going back. Come to my house when you have time." Li Tingyun shook his head.

Sister Liu took out a sack from the car and stuffed it into Li Tingyun's hand: "It's almost the New Year, and I don't have much to give you. Take these."

"Sister, you gave me so much food last time, and I haven't finished eating it yet. I don't want these." Li Tingyun knew that life in the village was not easy, so she turned around and ran away after saying that.

There were other passengers on the bus, so Sister Liu had no choice but to carry the things back into the bus.

Liu Yue felt very itchy when she saw it. Such a big bag must contain meat. She hadn't bought meat for a while. Today she went to the city and reluctantly bought a pound of meat. She guessed it would be time to share the meat.

How nice it would be if this bag of things were mine?

Sister Liu was in no mood to pay attention to Liu Yue. After moving the things into the car, she asked the driver to drive away.

Liu Yue was sprayed with exhaust fumes and wanted to curse angrily, but thinking that it would get dark soon, she hurried back with her things on her back.

Li Tingyun didn't want to be followed by Liu Yue, so he ran very fast. When Liu Yue entered the village, Li Tingyun had disappeared.

When she returned home, Xu Erhua had not come back yet. She took Heifeng and Egg Yolk into the space and fed them some meat strips and broth to nourish them.

After taking a comfortable flower petal bath, she found the only remaining piece of mutton, stewed it, and the two of them had a good meal in the evening.

At about eight o'clock, Xu Erhua came back with a backpack.

I found that the lock on the door was open, and I knew that Tingyun must have returned.

Li Tingyun heard the sound, opened the yard door, and pulled Xu Erhua in.

As soon as Xu Erhua entered the door, she smelled the aroma of mutton; her stomach had already been growling.

"You look very tired. Do you have anything else to do today?" Li Tingyun took the backpack off Erhua and asked with concern.

"Something happened again." Xu Erhua yawned loudly, and the two of them went into the kitchen together.

The fire was lit in the kitchen. Li Tingyun poured a basin of hot water for Xu Erhua to wash her hands, and then poured her a cup of hot water, asking her to drink a glass of water before talking.

Xu Erhua drank a few sips of water before speaking: "Originally, our road was almost repaired, but a large number of colds suddenly appeared in another village, and many people were killed.

It was said that these roads must be dug before the New Year, so the team leader mobilized everyone to go to the village over there to help today.

Many people wanted to go back home for the New Year, but few spoke up, leaving the team leader feeling worried.

Li Tingyun felt something was wrong when he heard this and asked curiously, "Aren't the villagers all very enthusiastic? Why didn't anyone come this time?"

"That's right, that's why the old branch secretary is so worried." Xu Erhua frowned when she thought of the old branch secretary.

After hearing this, Li Tingyun felt that things might not be that simple, so he brought the hot pot over and gave Xu Erhua a bowl of rice, asking them to eat first.

"I'll ask about this tomorrow. I got a piece of mutton. Eat it quickly. I'm going out after I'm full." She was afraid that someone would come to visit and there wouldn't be enough meat.

Why……

Xu Erhua nodded, ate her food with big mouthfuls, and drank her soup with big gulps. The food tasted so delicious.

Seeing that Xu Erhua was eating with relish, Li Tingyun started to eat too. In the evening, he also made a bowl of mutton soup for Danhuang and Heifeng.

After dinner, Li Tingyun went to the cowshed and brought some mutton to Xinxin.

When she came back, it was already ten o'clock. After taking a shower, Xu Erhua felt much more energetic and no longer sleepy. She took a medical book and started reading in the kitchen.

Hearing a knock on the door, she went over and opened the gate to the yard.

Now that Chun Xing has been captured, it feels much safer to go out at night. However, after Li Tingyun went in, Xu Erhua still came out to take a few looks before closing the yard door with peace of mind.

Back in the kitchen, Li Tingyun talked about the machinery factory's recruitment.

Xu Erhua was very happy after hearing this. It would be a great thing if she could get a job in the factory.

Seeing Xu Erhua's excitement, Li Tingyun felt a little moved.

She couldn't move for the time being, but she could let Xu Erhua go to the factory first: "Erhua, how about you go and try it after the New Year?"

"You, you don't want to go?" Xu Erhua asked anxiously.

"It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't for the time being. My mother raised that good daughter, and she suffered such a great loss last time. She will definitely not let me go easily. I want to wait." Li Tingyun did not hide it from Xu Erhua. What is coming will come sooner or later.

After hearing what Li Tingyun said, Xu Erhua quickly shook her head and said, "If you don't go, I won't go either."

"You should think about it carefully. Uncle Luo said that this is a rare opportunity for the factory to expand." Li Tingyun felt that Xu Erhua could take this opportunity to go out.

"I don't care about any opportunities. You are my sister. Wherever you go, I will go. Besides, I have only been learning medicine from you for a short time. I still have to study hard." Xu Erhua refused firmly.

If it weren't for Li Tingyun's care, Xu Erhua would have had a hard time eating meat, let alone having a full meal.

The people at the educated youth site are not easy to deal with. With a background like hers, she will definitely not have a good life.

Li Tingyun couldn't persuade Xu Erhua and stopped trying to persuade her. After cleaning up the kitchen, they went to bed.

The next morning, Li Tingyun and Xu Erhua went to the construction site early.

Before they could finish their work, the old branch secretary and the team leader came over.

They came to look for Li Tingyun, and seeing that Li Tingyun was busy, they took a stool and sat outside the shed.

It was cold and windy, so cold that neither of them could open their eyes.

Xu Erhua saw the two of them and nudged Li Tingyun: "Tingyun, the old branch secretary and the team leader are coming over. They seem to be looking for you."

Li Tingyun put down what he was doing, walked out of the shed, and looked at the old branch secretary's wrinkled face. His brows were so furrowed that they could pinch a fly to death.

"Tingyun, are you done with your work?" The old branch secretary's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Li Tingyun coming out.

"Old Party Secretary, please tell me what you want to say." Li Tingyun pulled a stool and sat next to the old Party Secretary.

"Tingyun, our village's mission is almost complete. There's still a long section of road to be dug in Hongming Village, and the leaders are mobilizing everyone to help. However, it's a windy place, and the wind is so strong that many people can't handle it. Some people from other villages who went fell ill after a few days.

When the villagers heard this, they didn't dare to go. However, if they didn't go, the mission would not be completed and the road would not be open.

You know the terrain of our village. If the water rushes down, our fields will definitely be ruined." The old Party Secretary couldn't sleep last night because of this.
