I sent the letter and called Chu Xingbang.
Chu Xingbang was so happy when he received her call. He heard loud laughter from the other end of the phone and asked her if she had enough money, whether she needed food and daily necessities, and whether he wanted to send her money and things.
Li Xiyue said that she lacked nothing and was living a good life, so the old man could rest assured.
Chu Xingbang also mentioned something on the phone. There was a clue about the third child of his uncle's family who was lost when he was a child. It was said that she had caught a human trafficker on the train before. The police followed the clues and found the human trafficker who abducted the Chu family's children.
It's just that time has passed so long that the traffickers can't remember where they sold the child.
Although the child has not been found yet, everyone in the Chu family is very happy that there is finally a clue after so many years.
Chu Xingbang was also happy. Although it was a boy, he was still his grandson. It was inevitable that an old man would love his children and grandchildren.
I hung up the phone and paid two dollars for the call.
It's quite expensive, but telephone lines are scarce in this era, and there are only a few of them, so it's normal that they are a bit expensive.
You know, there was no electricity in the countryside, so it was already great that the commune had a telephone.
Take the bus to the county town and go to the county hospital.
It was already noon when they arrived at the county town. Li Xiyue had an exam in the afternoon, so he went to eat first and rested for a while before starting.
The evaluator was Xu Zhongren again. He was quite enthusiastic when he saw Li Xiyue and invited her to work in the county hospital, but Li Xiyue declined.
The village is pretty good and she doesn't want to leave for the time being. Even if she leaves, she will not come to the county town.
The exam started. The questions were child's play for Li Xiyue. She finished them easily and was the first to hand in her paper.
The results came out an hour later. Li Xiyue passed as expected and left the hospital with a new little red book.
Without wasting a moment, he got in the car and left.
Zhang Hai and Lao Shi have been following secretly.
It was still early when Li Xiyue returned to the commune, so she went to the supply and marketing cooperative and found Xu Xiaolong and Su Honghong to buy a piece of defective cloth without a ticket.
The weather is getting hot, and it's time to make new clothes.
I don’t know if it’s because of the spiritual spring water, but she has grown taller this year and can no longer wear last year’s clothes.
It's quite rare for an adult to still grow taller.
Then he pretended to buy some food.
You don't have to buy meat. If you want to eat some, you can exchange some with Zhou Yunze and his sister. They would secretly go up the mountain to hunt every day, and the people at the educated youth camp would exchange with them. If there was any left, they would take it to the black market to exchange for money.
The brother and sister still remembered their kindness and would give her some game from time to time. Xu Dashan was the same and would bring her some vegetables as a snack every now and then.
After putting all the things into the backpack, Li Xiyue rode back to the village.
It was already past five o'clock when she returned to the village. She put her things away and entered the space. She could go out for a while today and take out more things without arousing suspicion.
Carrying a small basket, I go to the fields to pick fresh vegetables.
The shelf was covered with vines, and I picked more than a dozen long, green loofahs.
I picked eight or nine small, tender pumpkins as big as fists.
The red tomatoes are good for beauty and skin care, so you can eat more of them. I picked a dozen.
After leaving the vegetable garden, we went to the orchard.
In early May, many fruits are in season in the south, including peaches, plums, loquats, watermelons, melons, cherries, etc.
But the only fruits available in Yonghe County are peaches, plums, loquats and watermelons.
The rest can only be eaten secretly in space.
Li Xiyue picked a watermelon and a dozen pink peaches, and a basket each of loquats and plums.
I went to the pond and caught some crabs and steamed them.
I used the one-click cooking function to cook crabs, killed a duck and made blood duck.
Li Xiyue tasted a piece of duck meat. Although it tasted better than what she cooked, it was still not as good as Chu Xun's.
I kind of miss the food Chu Xun cooked. Last time he said he would be back after May Day, so I guess he should be back soon.
He brought the dishes out and took the fruits and vegetables out of the space, then went to the backyard to get a bamboo tube of wine.
Just as the meal was put on the table, Xiaobai, who had been out all day, came back and said, "Yueyue, it's time to eat. I'm hungry."
"Where have you gone wild again?" Li Xiyue poured some broth into it, mixed it with rice, and put it on the ground.
Xiaobai said, "It's right here in the village. The Zhou brothers and sisters went up the mountain and hunted a lot of game today. The wild vegetables there are so tender, the villagers are scrambling for them. Oh, and those two gossipy women are fighting again over the vegetables."
Li Xiyue listened to it gossiping while eating, which was quite enjoyable.
Xiaobai was hungry, so he wolfed down his meal. He then went to the yard to drink some water. Then he came back and crawled to Li Xiyue's feet and continued, "Lao Wang's cousin next door fell into a hole and cried her heart out. The deputy captain's cousin stepped on a poisonous snake and was bitten. Your grandfather treated her while you were away."
Li Xiyue took a sip of the fruit wine, and the aroma of the wine spread in her mouth. She clicked her tongue twice. She had only been away for a day, and so many things had happened in the village. It was really lively.
"I discovered a long time ago that Lao Wang's cousin had fallen into a hole. I told Xiao Huang, but Xiao Huang pretended not to know and pulled Lao Wang away." Xiao Bai scratched his ear with his hind paw and continued.
Xiao Huang is Huang Xinrui, Xiao Bai has always called her that. Those who don’t know would think they are the same kind.
Li Xiyue was drinking soup and almost choked, "You guys are really good."
"By the way, I also heard a good news. Someone from the commune will come to show a movie tonight." Xiaobai said, yawned, and fell asleep.
Li Xiyue's eyes sparkled. After more than a year, she was finally able to watch a movie.
After dinner, when they were clearing the table, Huang Xinrui came in happily. Xiaobai recognized the familiar footsteps, but he didn't even raise his eyelids and continued snoring.
Huang Xinrui first talked about Tian Lingling falling into the cellar. She put her hands on her hips and looked very happy. "Serves her right. Let her pester Lao Wang and let her fall to death. Hahahaha..."
