It was Xu Guoqiang who told Li Xiyue the news that new educated youth were coming to the brigade.
Yesterday he went to a meeting of the commune committee. The commune leader said that another group of educated youth would be arriving because people would come from each brigade. He couldn't say anything and could only obey the arrangements.
And there were quite a few people coming, with no less than five people assigned to their team.
Xu Guoqiang was very annoyed by this. "Our place is poor and remote, and the villagers can't even get enough to eat. What use are those spoiled educated youth being assigned here, other than being a drag?"
Thinking of Li Xiyue next to him who was also an educated youth, he quickly added, "Of course, Li Zhiqing, you are an exception."
Li Xiyue smiled and didn't mind.
In fact, it is not surprising that Xu Guoqiang was upset. The educated youth did not know how to do farm work, but they would not eat less. The rations were already limited, and now a few more people came to share them. Who would be happy?
"Captain, with so many educated youth coming here at once, I'm afraid the educated youth camp can't accommodate them all. I have to prepare medicinal herbs all the time, and I'm afraid it will affect everyone. Why don't I just move to the clinic?" Li Xiyue took the opportunity to suggest.
This had no impact on the team and was a reasonable request, so Xu Guoqiang agreed. "Okay."
The new educated youth were still two days away from arriving, but Li Xiyue was planning to move in early. Huang Xinrui was very sad about this. "Yueyue, I will miss you when you leave."
"I'm right next door. We see each other every day. If you miss me, just come and see me. It's just a few steps away." Li Xiyue was amused to see her look of life and death.
Huang Xinrui pouted, "It's not far, but I still can't bear to leave you. If you're not here, what will happen if the new educated youth makes trouble?"
"You're an old educated youth, and you can't handle them?" Li Xiyue said, "The team leader said that if there are too many educated youth, you and Wang Zhiqing will be the team leaders to supervise the new educated youth and prevent them from causing trouble."
Huang Xinrui smiled brightly upon hearing this. "Let me be the team leader? Then all the new educated youth will have to listen to me."
"The male educated youth listen to Wang Zhiqing, and the female educated youth listen to you. You two will manage the educated youth site together."
Huang Xinrui became excited, "That's great, hahaha..."
Li Xiyue smiled helplessly when she saw that she had put aside her unhappiness about moving out so quickly.
This girl's attention is so easy to divert.
Li Xiyue moved her belongings to the clinic that day and was finally able to live alone.
Huang Xinrui is a nice person, but she needs more independent space. She has secrets, and living alone can better ensure that the secrets are not leaked.
Looking at the decorated house, she took a deep breath. The breath of freedom was so good.
"Sister." Erniu and Laidi came.
Li Xiyue came to the yard and saw two little girls carrying a basket in one hand and a small bucket in the other.
There are herbs in the basket and leeches and earthworms in the bucket.
Li Xiyue smiled and rubbed their heads. "You brought so many medicines again, you are really amazing."
The two children looked at each other and were very happy.
"My sister will live here in the future. You can just come here to find me." Li Xiyue said with a smile.
The children nodded.
Lai Di still wanted to eat, so Li Xiyue gave her two White Rabbit snacks and two peach cakes, and then she ran away excitedly with the food.
Erniu still wanted money, so Li Xiyue gave her four cents. She held the money in her hand, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.
Li Xiyue asked: "What's wrong?"
"My grandma's illness is getting worse..." Erniu said, tears streaming down her face. "But she refuses to see any more patients. She said she wants to save the money to buy food for grandpa and me. Sister, I don't want grandma to die, wuwu..."
Li Xiyue hurriedly coaxed him, "Be good, don't cry. Your grandma doesn't want to burden you and grandpa. How about this, I'll go and see your grandma, okay?"
"Is my sister's medical skills better than my great-grandfather's?" Erniu wiped away her tears and asked with sparkling eyes.
Great-grandfather said that grandma’s illness could not be cured and she had to take medicine all the time to control the condition, which was very expensive, so grandma didn’t want to be treated anymore.
If my sister can completely cure grandma, then she won’t have to take medicine all the time, right?
The great-grandfather she was referring to was Uncle Xu Liu.
Li Xiyue rubbed her head and said, "Take me to see your grandma first."
When we arrived at Erniu's house, Erniu's grandfather Xu Yongfu was not at home. He had gone to work. Only her grandmother Wang Guiying was at home washing clothes.
He was coughing violently while washing, as if he was going to faint in the basin at any second.
"Grandma!" Erniu ran over to support her grandmother. "Didn't you say you'd wash the clothes when I got back? Why don't you take a good rest instead of working again?"
"Grandma is just sitting around doing nothing, so if you do a little more, you won't have to work so hard." Wang Guiying patted her granddaughter's hand, signaling her not to worry.
How could Erniu not be worried? She cried again, "Grandma, don't wash it anymore. I brought the doctor to see you."
"Grandma Wang, come and sit down first." Li Xiyue and Erniu helped Wang Guiying sit on a high stool beside them, observing her complexion and taking her pulse.
Grandma Wang has been receiving treatment from Uncle Xu Liu, who often treats her for free. She had asked about Grandma Wang's condition before, and Uncle Xu Liu told her some information. She also discovered some new problems after taking her pulse.
"Thank you, girl. My illness can't be cured. I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble." Grandma Wang looked at her poor little granddaughter and said, "Don't waste your money anymore. This child has never had a good day because of me, an old woman. I don't want to burden her anymore."
"Grandma Wang, you're wrong to think that." Li Xiyue sat down and advised, "Erniu has done so much for you just to make you better. You should cooperate with the treatment. Don't you want to be with Erniu for a few more years?"
