The fire tongs fell to the ground with a clatter. Zhou Yunze's pupils trembled, and he was stunned for several seconds before reacting. "What did you say?"
Xu Shanshan bit her lip, feeling extremely embarrassed, and turned around and ran away.
The courage she had finally mustered up had just been used up, and she really didn't have the courage to say it again.
Zhou Yunze's expression changed, and he chased after her, "I like you too, and I'd like to be with you."
Xu Shanshan was running too fast and almost fell down when she heard the words. She steadied herself, turned to look at the handsome boy, and a bright smile appeared on her face.
She is actually quite pretty, but she has spots on her face. Since she used the ointment given by Huang Xinrui, the spots have faded a lot.
In addition, as her mentality changed, she was no longer as timid as before. Her back was straightened, she became more confident, and she looked more outstanding.
Zhou Yunze also laughed.
The two of them smiled at each other from a distance. Even the whistling cold wind stopped, as if it didn't want to disturb the lovers.
Wang Jiaxing in the men's dormitory heard everything that was happening in the yard clearly, and he hugged his quilt and was happy for his good brother.
The next day, the news that the two were dating spread and received a wave of blessings.
Next, everyone at the educated youth site worked hard to make money. Zhou Yunxia took Xu Shanshan to the mountains to hunt, Huang Xinrui continued to brew wine, and Zhou Yunze and Wang Jiaxing were responsible for exchanging it for money.
The two frequently went in and out of the black market, and Li Xiyue was no exception.
The black market has changed its leader, and the order is much better than before. There is basically no black-on-black robbing. The prices are still several times higher than those outside, but compared with the sky-high prices in the past, it is much better.
Spring came and the ice thawed, but it didn't get warm for two days before a late spring cold snap started again and the weather became even colder.
Although he could not go to work, Xu Guoqiang still led the military militia for training, and all the members had to participate.
Xu Guoqiang, the patriarch, held up a loud speaker and said, "Old rules, warm up first, run ten laps around the river, then come back for training."
Everyone started their morning run amidst wailing.
The wind on the river was so strong that people couldn't open their eyes. They were basically running blindly following the people in front of them.
While running, something happened in front of me and I suddenly stopped. A group of people behind me bumped into each other.
Li Xiyue reacted quickly and jumped out of the team to avoid bumping into others and being bumped by others. Huang Xinrui in front of her was in a terrible situation. Her head hit Wang Jiaxing's back and she shed tears in pain.
Wang Jiaxing felt so distressed that he coaxed her and rubbed her face, "Are you okay? Let me rub it for you. I'm sorry..."
Seeing this, Xu Guoqiang, who was shouting slogans in the back, ran past with the broken loudspeaker. The shrill sound almost perforated everyone's eardrums.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? Why did you stop?"
Li Xiyue covered her ears in time to avoid damage.
Wang Jiaxing learned his lesson this time and covered Huang Xinrui's ears in advance, but he didn't cover his own ears. He complained, "Our brigade's loudspeaker is really broken... When can we get a new one?"
Huang Xinrui finally regained her balance, burst into laughter, and then stretched her neck to see what was happening in front of her.
But there were heads everywhere in front of her, and she couldn't see anything at all. She was so curious that she ran to the front along the dry fields under the river that had not yet been irrigated to see what was going on.
The wind was too strong, so Li Xiyue didn't go to eat the melon. She planned to eat the second-hand melon that Huang Xinrui brought back.
Within two minutes, someone came running back panting, "Tian, Tian Lingling fainted."
"Tian Lingling?" Li Xiyue and a few of the educated youths looked at each other. Could someone get dizzy just by running?
Wang Jiaxing looked a little uncomfortable, but still asked, "What happened to her?"
"She's pregnant." Huang Xinrui took a breath and said, "The captain was scolding her husband. He didn't know she was pregnant. She suddenly fell to the ground. Her husband followed her and didn't react at once. He even stepped on her."
As she spoke, she touched her forehead and grinned, "She's more unlucky than me, hahahaha!"
There is no concealment of gloating at all.
Li Xiyue and others: "..."
I feel helpless towards her.
After the spring cold, the team began to prepare for spring plowing.
Li Xiyue still collects herbs, treats patients, and teaches apprentices every day.
Knowing that Li Xiyue was about to return to the city, Xu Baiwei worked harder than ever before. She even lit a lamp to study at night after returning home. She did not want to disappoint her master, and secretly made up her mind to pass this year's barefoot doctor assessment.
When Uncle Xu's grandchildren learned that she was about to return to the city, they came to the clinic more often.
Sometimes, even if I don’t do anything, it’s nice to just sit next to Li Xiyue and talk.
The same goes for the people at the educated youth site. They interact more closely than before and get together whenever they have time.
They both cherished the last time they spent together.
Good times are always fleeting, and in the blink of an eye it is time for the annual barefoot doctor assessment.
Li Xiyue took Xu Baiwei, who was only thirteen years old, to the county town.
Xu Baiwei didn't say much along the way. Li Xiyue knew she was nervous and comforted her, "Relax, you will be fine."
Li Xiyue has seen the efforts this child has made in being with her for more than two years, and she has confidence in her.
Xu Baiwei smiled. She was indeed nervous, but since the master said she was fine, then she must be fine.
After arriving at the county town, Li Xiyue took Xu Baiwei to a state-owned restaurant for lunch.
For children who come to the city for the first time, everything they see is new and interesting, just like Granny Liu who just entered the Grand View Garden.
Li Xiyue could understand and thought that it would be fine if he came more often in the future.
During the afternoon exam, Li Xiyue was not nervous at all. She sat on a chair outside, glancing at Xu Baiwei in the examination room from time to time.
She is the youngest among all the examinees. Fortunately, there is no age limit for the barefoot doctor assessment, and it only depends on the ability. Otherwise, Xu Baiwei would have a bit of trouble at her age.
Xu Zhongren was very surprised when he saw Xu Baiwei, but it was not surprising when he learned that she was Li Xiyue's apprentice.
Li Xiyue is quite famous in the whole Yonghe County. What's wrong with her apprentice being younger? It's normal for a good teacher to have good students.
Through the window, Li Xiyue saw the little girl sitting upright, answering questions seriously. Although she was small, she exuded great strength.
Until Xu Baiwei put down her pen, turned around and smiled at her.
Li Xiyue knew that this was a sure thing.
As expected, Xu Baiwei passed the assessment, obtained a barefoot doctor certificate, and became the youngest barefoot doctor in Yonghe County.
Holding the red book, Xu Baiwei's eyes were red with excitement. "Master... I, I did it. I didn't let you down."
It didn't go in vain.
"Congratulations, Weiwei, you have graduated." Li Xiyue looked at her with a smile, feeling both relieved and wishing her well.
From now on, the child will embark on a new journey in life.
