Li Xiyue was a little surprised to see Liu Hongtiao. She hadn't heard from her since the last time she saw her in the county town. She didn't expect her to come today.
"Li Xiyue." Liu Hongtiao walked up to her, "I have something to tell you."
She no longer spoke in a coquettish tone, which was much more pleasant to listen to.
Li Xiyue didn't stop cutting the medicine, "You say."
"My marriage with Wang Laoer has been cancelled." Liu Hongtiao glanced at Erniu beside her and said without any concern.
Li Xiyue was not surprised, but was just curious about what method she used?
"He was reported to the police for stealing. The police found out that he had accidentally killed someone when he was caught stealing before. He wants to eat peanuts now."
Li Xiyue was a little surprised. She knew that Wang Laoer was a scoundrel, but she didn't expect that he would actually kill someone.
Liu Hongtiao smiled with ease, "Now that he's dead, I don't have to marry him. I'm free."
Li Xiyue looked at her as if she had been reborn, and thought to herself that it seemed that Liu Hongtiao's family had contributed a lot to Wang Laoer's fate.
This is enough to show that the Liu family is really willing to do anything for their daughter Liu Hongtiao. Liu Hongtiao is really lucky to be born into such a good family.
I hope she can cherish the happiness she has and live a stable life in the future.
"Thank you. If you hadn't scolded me and woke me up, I would still be stuck in a dead end." Liu Hongtiao said as she bowed deeply to her.
Li Xiyue's face was calm. Before, the two of them were always hurting each other and were obviously mortal enemies. She never expected that this day would come.
Liu Hongtiao continued, "Besides thanking you for coming here today, I also want to tell you something. My family found a teacher for me at the health center so I can study nursing."
"Don't you want to be a doctor?" Li Xiyue asked.
Liu Hongtiao said: "I know myself well. I'm not cut out to be a doctor, but being a nurse is fine too. I like it."
Li Xiyue didn't say anything else.
Being a nurse is very tiring, but she loves it. No matter how good the job is, it’s useless if she doesn’t like it.
Liu Hongtiao left and before leaving she stuffed two cans of food into her hand as a thank you gift.
Li Xiyue looked at the two cans of oranges in the net bag and couldn't say what she felt, but she thought it was a good thing that Liu Hongtiao came to her senses.
Erniu didn't say a word the whole time and worked diligently, which made Li Xiyue even more satisfied with her.
In the afternoon, a few more elderly people came to see a doctor for chronic cold legs. Li Xiyue gave them acupuncture and charged two cents per treatment.
"Soaking your feet in hot water before going to bed can help relieve symptoms," Li Xiyue advised.
After acupuncture, the pain was relieved a lot and the old man was very grateful to Li Xiyue.
"I'm much better, how about you?"
"I'm much better now. Doctor Li's medical skills are really amazing."
“It’s two cents well spent.”
The old people left while talking, and Li Xiyue felt happy when she heard their approval.
Li Xiyue stayed in the clinic for an entire afternoon and didn't go out. Uncle Xu went from one house to another and didn't come back until it was almost time to get off work.
"Keep this money and keep it in your account." Uncle Xu took out a few cents.
Li Xiyue took it and wrote down the amount in the account book.
The money she and Uncle Xu spent on medical consultations was put together and recorded until the end of the month for settlement.
Apart from what is handed over to the brigade, you can keep the rest for yourself. Of course, if the money you earn in a month is not enough to hand over to the brigade, you have to pay for it yourself.
During the past few months at Uncle Xu's house, I discovered that he was spending money out of pocket almost every month because he treated many elderly people in the village for free. The poor families in the village lived a hard life and had no extra money for medical treatment.
Although he doesn't charge any money, Uncle Xu Liu's medical skills are there. He can only temporarily control and relieve many diseases but cannot cure them at all.
Li Xiyue plans to help them cure their illness so that the problem can be solved completely.
Those who are rich can pay a small amount of medical fees, and those who are poor, like Erniu's family, can help with work to offset the fees. In short, they cannot let their illness drag on any longer.
Free treatment is definitely not an option. Firstly, it will allow people with ulterior motives to take advantage of the situation. Secondly, it will make them think they can get something for nothing, thus encouraging unhealthy practices.
"These medicines are what your grandma used to treat her illness. Take them back." Li Xiyue handed Erniu some Chinese medicine.
Erniu took it, her eyes full of mist, "Sister, I should be the one to pick these herbs."
"Tomorrow, you go to pick herbs. You go to pick herbs in the morning and come to help with the work in the afternoon, okay?" Li Xiyue said.
Erniu nodded and said, "Okay, sister, do you have any wild vegetables you like to eat? I'll pick some for you."
"Cottonseed is delicious. If you see it, just pick some for me." Li Xiyue brushed off the dust on her body.
Erniu agreed, took the medicine and left, and Xiaobai followed her to see her off.
Uncle Xu Liu had already finished work and went home, so Li Xiyue took the medicine in the yard back to the pharmacy.
As dusk fell, Chu Xun returned, bringing with him some red beans and sugar. "Didn't you say last time that you wanted to eat stuffed qingtuan? I brought some red beans and made some red bean paste."
Li Xiyue felt so happy, "Great, it just so happens that Erniu will bring me some cotton vegetables tomorrow."
"Then I'll soak the red beans today and make it tomorrow." Chu Xun said as he handed her a suitcase, "Help me put the things in the house."
Smoke rose from the kitchen, and soon the aroma of food wafted into the air.
We are having chicken tonight. Chu Xun brought a chicken over at noon, but he didn’t cook it at noon and saved it for dinner.
The braised chicken he made was fragrant and smooth, and Li Xiyue's mouth was full of oil after eating it.
Chu Xun wiped the corner of her mouth lovingly and said, "I picked up another chicken leg for her."
"I can't eat anymore. You eat it." Li Xiyue said.
Chu Xun shook his head, "I made this especially for you. If you can't finish it, save it for tomorrow."
Li Xiyue ate until her belly was full again, so she went to the yard to digest the food. "No more big fish and meat tomorrow. If you keep eating like this, you'll get fat."
"You want to eat fish tomorrow? Okay, I'll go buy it." Chu Xun answered in the kitchen.
Li Xiyue was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Chu Xun came out after finishing his work and said with a smile: "What's the big deal about being a little fat? I like you no matter what you look like."
Under the moonlight, the man stood tall and straight, like a green pine, his broad and powerful arms seemed to be able to block all the wind and waves, his outline was firm, his facial features were deep and sharp, and he had an indescribable masculine charm.
He had a smile on his lips and looked at her with gentle eyes, making her unable to resist such an attack at all.
Li Xiyue couldn't resist the impulse in her heart, she stood on tiptoe and kissed his smiling lips.
The sudden action made a fire explode in Chu Xun's heart. He raised his hand and touched his lips in disbelief. The faint warmth had not yet dissipated, and the soft touch made him realize that this was real.
The fire in his heart seemed to be ignited, his eyes were burning, his long arms wrapped around her slender waist, and he lowered his head to kiss her back.
His movements were clumsy, but his feelings were strong. Li Xiyue could even feel his heart beating violently, as if it was about to jump out of his mouth.
My heart was filled with a throbbing feeling, so beautiful that it made me intoxicated.
