"Really?" Li Xiyue was surprised. "Didn't we have a fight with the Gewh people last time and even report it to the police? How could we still get the promotion?"
Uncle Xu waved his hand and said, "It's not our fault. It's not our fault."
He took a sip of hot water and said slowly, "You helped the police catch the enemy spy on the train, that's a credit. That enemy spy disguised as a postman came to our village and died in the mountains, that's also a credit. And the fact that Zhao Guohua's family was an enemy spy was discovered because of our village."
"Thanks to these three great achievements, and the fact that our brigade had the highest harvest in the entire Chunfeng Commune last year, we were awarded the title."
Li Xiyue was quite excited. "We got selected. The captain and the others will be so happy."
Especially Xu Yongshun, he would probably wake up laughing in his dreams, right?
"That's right." Uncle Xu wanted to laugh when he thought of the excited expressions of the cadres on the day they were evaluated.
Xu Yongshun, who is old and usually looks steady, was so happy that he almost climbed a tree.
The same goes for Xu Guoqiang, the corners of his mouth have never been down.
Of course, all the members of the Red Sun Production Brigade were equally happy. These days, the entire brigade was filled with a joyful and harmonious atmosphere, and even the trivial family matters had decreased a lot.
The grandfather and grandson chatted for a while, and then Li Xiyue went to make breakfast, leaving Uncle Xu Liu and Erniu to eat together in the clinic, and also called Xu Guoqing to come.
She went to the health center to find Huang Xinrui and took back the poultry that she had entrusted to her to take care of before the New Year, but found that there was only one chicken left.
"What about the others?"
Huang Xinrui was a little embarrassed: "They are so cute, we couldn't help eating them."
Li Xiyue: "..."
Fortunately, I left one for her.
"This is the money to exchange for chickens and ducks."
Li Xiyue had no choice but to take the money, take the chicken back to the clinic, and kill it for lunch as an extra dish.
"Sister, this Beijing roast duck is so delicious, isn't it?" Xu Guoqing was holding a duck leg, his mouth full of oil and his eyes shining.
Li Xiyue picked up a few pieces of meat for him and said, "Eat more if you like. There's one more to take back later."
"Oh, you really are my sister." Xu Guoqing kept flattering her.
Li Xiyue smiled and shook his head, and picked up a few pieces of meat for Erniu. Erniu dodged and said, "Master, I just want vegetables."
"Eat, there's still so much." Li Xiyue took her bowl and put the meat in it. "You helped me a lot while I was away. This is my thanks to you. Eat quickly."
Erniu's eyes were misty. She nodded her little head, picked up the meat and ate it, her face full of enjoyment and satisfaction.
As soon as the four of them finished breakfast, Chen Yu took the package back from the commune.
There were several packages, which contained gifts and food prepared by the Chu family, as well as small gifts bought by Li Xiyue for everyone. She asked Chen Yu to take them to the educated youth site and distribute them to everyone.
"National Day, these are the most famous cakes and candies in Beijing. For you."
Xu Guoqing jumped three feet high like a wild monkey, "Thank you, my dear sister."
Li Xiyue burst out laughing.
"Grandpa, this wine is perfect to go with the roast duck."
Uncle Xu was very polite. "Meat and wine, this is too expensive."
"You are my grandfather. I can't even give you such a small gift. You deserve more than that. Take it quickly, or I will be angry."
Uncle Xu Liu took the things, and his old eyes were full of light. This was the filial piety of his granddaughter. It was really good to have a granddaughter.
"Erniu, these egg cakes and osmanthus cakes are for you." Li Xiyue handed two boxes of cakes to the child.
Erniu was surprised and happy. She had already eaten meat, and now there was a gift?
But she didn't take it. "These cakes are very expensive. I can't have them."
It’s good enough that my sister remembers her. How could she take such expensive pastries from my sister?
"You are my apprentice, not a stranger. Don't be polite with me. Take it." Li Xiyue forced it into her hand. "The egg cake is soft. Take it back for your grandparents. Keep the shortbread for yourself."
Erniu's eyes were filled with tears of emotion. The master was so kind to her. She would definitely repay the master. "Thank you, master."
She is so lucky to have such a good master.
She looked up at the sky cautiously, wondering if God was still asleep. Why would he be so good to her?
Will all these benefits be gone when I wake up?
The little girl was holding two boxes of pastries, feeling very anxious.
There were bursts of laughter from the educated youth point. Li Xiyue knew that they must have received gifts as well, so she didn't go over there. Instead, she took a box of cakes and half a roast duck and went to the team leader's house.
The captain and his family were very happy to see her back.
Sun Xia made her a bowl of brown sugar water, and Grandma Yu stuffed two boiled eggs into her pocket. Hu Zi kept pestering her to tell her about his experiences in the capital, and even Xu Lanlan held on to Li Xiyue's clothes and refused to let go.
In the end, Xu Guoqiang used the excuse that he had something important to say and drove the two children away.
Li Xiyue took out a box of egg cakes for them to share, and the two children were very happy.
"You can't take it..." Xu Guoqiang wanted to stop them, but his youngest son and granddaughter acted too quickly and took it away first.
In order to prevent the egg cake from being snatched away, Hu Zi grabbed a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, and made a face at his old father.
Xu Guoqiang cursed, "Are you a reincarnated ghost who died of starvation?" Then he turned to Li Xiyue and put on another smile, "Doctor Li, you came just for fun, but why did you bring anything with you? And they're all so expensive. How can you be so embarrassed?"
"Then what about this brown sugar water and the eggs in my pocket? You've been so kind to me, what's wrong with me giving something to the child?"
Every time Grandma Yu met her, she would either give her eggs or snacks like peanuts and broad beans. She couldn't just take their things with a clear conscience without giving anything in return, right? Wouldn't that be like being a stingy person?
