Lin Huanhuan smiled and looked at the brigade leader and the village chief, and said politely, "Then I'll trouble the brigade leader and the village chief to help me apply. I thank you both in advance, and I'll be waiting for your good news!"
After saying that, she turned around and waved to the other educated youth behind her, signaling them to leave together.
Seeing this, everyone followed Lin Huanhuan and walked outside.
At this moment, Qin Xiuxiu quickly walked to Lin Huanhuan's side and complained in a low voice with an indignant look on her face, "Huanhuan, why won't you let me speak? What if they side with Shen Xiaoxiao?"
Li Xiang chimed in, "That's right, we're trying to get you a chance, why are you letting us leave?"
Faced with their questions, Lin Huanhuan stopped and patiently explained, "Don't rush, let's observe the situation first, listen to what the brigade leader and the village chief have to say, and then make a plan."
“If this application follows the normal procedure, then our current commotion is not only unreasonable, but may also cause unnecessary trouble.”
After hearing these words, although the others were still somewhat unconvinced, they said no more. The group resumed their previous chatting and laughing state and slowly walked towards the educated youth compound.
Meanwhile, Shen Xiaoxiao, who was busy inside the house, also heard the commotion outside and knew that they had gone to find the brigade leader and the village chief.
However, she didn't pay much attention to it and continued to concentrate on arranging the piles of Western medicines neatly according to their categories.
Xiahou Jie and Dai Xingyun, who were standing to the side, watched Shen Xiaoxiao's actions and wanted to help, but found that they couldn't get involved at all. They could only silently pick up some medicine from the side and hand it to her.
Time passed by, and finally, with the joint efforts of the three, all the Western medicines were neatly arranged, and the sky gradually darkened.
“We’ve all gone back, you should go back early too. Is there anything else? We’ll help you tomorrow.” Dai Xingyun said to Shen Xiaoxiao with concern, while gently patting her shoulder to indicate that she shouldn’t overwork herself.
Shen Xiaoxiao looked up and smiled as she replied, "Okay, I'm done now. I'm going back to eat."
After saying that, she stretched and moved her somewhat stiff body.
Xiahou Jie also chimed in, "Yes, Comrade Shen, don't overwork yourself. If you need any help, just let me know. My brother is more than willing to help."
He smiled and joked.
Then, the three of them walked out of the health center together. Just as they were about to leave, they ran into the village chief and the brigade leader coming out of it.
"Oh, isn't this little girl? You've got everything all done?" The captain greeted Shen Xiaoxiao warmly with a kind smile on his face as soon as he saw her.
Shen Xiaoxiao quickly stepped forward, nodded obediently, and replied, "Yes, it's almost done. Thanks to the help of Dai and Xiahou, the educated youth! I couldn't have managed on my own without them."
As she spoke, she turned her head and gave Dai Xingyun and Xiahou Zhiqing a grateful look.
After listening to Shen Xiaoxiao's words, the brigade leader nodded in satisfaction, then turned his gaze to Dai Xingyun and Xiahou Zhiqing, and said approvingly, "You two young people are quite good. You are willing to help the comrades in the village. You deserve praise!"
Then, he looked at Shen Xiaoxiao and continued to ask, "By the way, Xiaoxiao, you must have heard about Lin Zhiqing coming to see me today, right? What do you think about it? Just tell me."
The brigade leader knew very well about Dai Xingyun and Xiahou Zhiqing's character, and also knew that they had a good relationship with Shen Xiaoxiao, so he did not deliberately avoid the two of them, but asked Shen Xiaoxiao's thoughts directly in front of them.
"Grandpa Captain, please feel free to apply. Whatever decision or arrangement the higher-ups make in the end, I will wholeheartedly support it!" Shen Xiaoxiao said earnestly.
Hearing this, the village chief couldn't help but joke, "Hey, Xiaoxiao, are you really that confident? What if the higher-ups decide to put that Lin educated youth in charge of this matter and replace you? Don't cry then!"
Shen Xiaoxiao winked mischievously and replied with a grin, "Oh, Grandpa Village Chief, please don't tease me! To be honest, I don't really like sitting at home doing nothing."
"You know my personality perfectly well. What I love most is going up to the high mountains to find all sorts of herbs."
After hearing this, the village chief shook his head helplessly, smiled, tapped Chen Xiaoxiao's forehead with his finger, and scolded her playfully, "You little rascal!"
"Grandpa Village Chief, please feel free to apply. It's alright," Shen Xiaoxiao said earnestly.
The village chief nodded kindly and replied, "Yes, with your words, Grandpa Village Chief knows what to do."
Then, Shen Xiaoxiao waved goodbye to the two elders: "Then we'll head home first!"
Seeing this, the village chief quickly instructed, "Alright, you should hurry home. It's getting dark, and the road won't be easy to travel on."
"Okay, goodbye Grandpa Village Chief, goodbye Grandpa Brigade Leader!" After obediently saying goodbye, Shen Xiaoxiao reached out and grabbed the sleeves of the two men, then skipped away.
Behind them came the captain's caring voice: "Slow down, be careful not to fall!"
Shen Xiaoxiao's figure quickly disappeared into the twilight... Not long after, a clear voice called out from afar, "I'm home!"
Dai Xingyun gently ruffled Chen Xiaoxiao's hair and said in a gentle tone, "Then I'll go back first. I'll come back to help you tomorrow after I've finished taking care of everything. Don't work on it all by yourself."
Shen Xiaoxiao tilted her head slightly, her big, bright eyes looking at Dai Xingyun. She held his big hand tightly with her small hand and said softly, "Actually, I don't have anything to do tomorrow. As for you, you don't need to rush to help me."
Dai Xingyun's lips curled into a warm smile, and he replied in his magnetic voice, "Okay!"
Hearing this, Shen Xiaoxiao reluctantly let go of her hand.
She slowly turned around and went into the house, looking back every step of the way.
Dai Xingyun stood quietly in place, watching Shen Xiaoxiao walk further and further away until she entered her home.
After Shen Xiaoxiao entered the room, Dai Xingyun and Xiahou Jie turned around and walked towards the educated youth compound.
By this time, everyone in the educated youth compound had already started eating dinner.
As the two of them stepped into the courtyard, everyone's eyes turned to them.
Qin Xiuxiu had her mouth open as if she wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a moment, she finally chose to close her mouth and remain silent.
