"Yueyue." Huang Xinrui heard the noise and ran out from the educated youth camp. Seeing Li Xiyue finally come back, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "You're finally back! I was so worried."
Li Xiyue said with a smile: "I am back now."
After entering the village, she separated from Xu Xiangyang, fearing that it would have a bad influence if others saw them together.
"Hey, what is this?" Huang Xinrui saw a dark shadow. "Is this a dog?"
Li Xiyue nodded and told him what happened on the way in. "Xiaobai is my benefactor. I want to raise him."
Huang Xinrui was so frightened that her face turned pale. "Yueyue, it's too dangerous. Don't come back so late in the future."
Wang Jiaxing came out after hearing the noise, and was also frightened after hearing Li Xiyue's words, "Li Zhiqing, next time if you have any problems, it's best to find someone to go with you. It's too dangerous to act alone."
"Okay, I know. I'm sorry for making you worry." Li Xiyue felt warm in her heart.
Huang Xinrui squatted down and touched Xiaobai, "You saved Yueyue, I'll get you something delicious." After that, she pulled Li Xiyue into the kitchen, "Yueyue, I left some food for you."
Li Xiyue was so busy on her way that she didn't eat anything, and now she was really hungry.
"Xiaobai, eat more. If it's not enough... eat again tomorrow morning." Huang Xinrui squatted in front of Xiaobai, looked at the small piece of sweet potato at its feet, and said with a smile.
noob:"……"
It was only half a piece, but he let it eat more. This biped is not very smart.
Never mind, half a piece is half a piece, it’s better than nothing.
Seeing Xiaobai eating, Huang Xinrui touched its head and was very happy, "You are so good, not picky about food at all."
noob:"……"
It wants to pick one, but is there anything to choose from?
Thinking of something, Huang Xinrui sat down next to Li Xiyue and said, "Uncle Dashan came to see you this afternoon with some things. You were not there, so he put them down and said he would invite you to his house for dinner tomorrow night."
"Is Uncle Dashan back? How are his wife and children?" Li Xiyue asked.
Huang Xinrui smiled and said, "He said both mother and child are safe."
Li Xiyue was relieved.
"Yueyue, I have boiled water for you. Do you want to take a bath tonight?" Huang Xinrui asked with a smile.
Li Xiyue nodded and said, "Go ahead and wash. Thank you, Xinrui."
"Why thank me for such a small thing?" Huang Xinrui was in a very good mood. "Let me tell you something. Do you still remember our team's timekeeper?"
"Xiao Su?" Li Xiyue had some impression. When Zhao Xiaoli framed her, Xu Guoqiang asked the director of women's affairs and the timekeeper to search Zhao Xiaoli's body.
She was a young girl a few years older than them, but judging by the way she was dressed, she must have been married.
Huang Xinrui nodded and whispered, "She is my uncle's niece."
"Ah?" Li Xiyue was surprised.
Huang Xinrui looked outside and saw that Wang Jiaxing had already returned to the house. She continued, "I didn't know about it at first, but she suddenly told me this afternoon when she was at work."
Li Xiyue thought about it and realized that Huang Xinrui's aunt lived in Sujia Village, and the accountant's surname was also Su, so he should be from Sujia Village. She just didn't expect that he was a relative of Huang Xinrui.
"She's pregnant. This isn't just Uncle Dashan's family news. After word spread throughout the village, her husband's family got very nervous and wanted her to stop working for a while and stay home to take care of the baby."
Li Xiyue thought of something and guessed, "So, she plans to let you take over her job?"
Huang Xinrui couldn't hide her smile, "The captain agreed."
"Xinrui, that's great. You don't have to go out of bed anymore." Li Xiyue was also happy for her.
Huang Xinrui smiled and said, "Yueyue, thanks to you, otherwise I wouldn't have such a good job."
"What does it have to do with me?" Li Xiyue said with a smile.
She was of no help at all.
Huang Xinrui said, "You saved the cow, saved Uncle Dashan's wife and children, and were commended by the county and commune leaders. The villagers are now so enthusiastic about us educated youth. If it weren't for you, the team leader and the villagers would never have let me take over the position of labor accountant."
"It was the good deeds you planted, Yueyue, that reaped this good fruit for me."
Li Xiyue was amused. "Girl, you flatter me again."
"I'm telling the truth, okay?" Huang Xinrui hugged Li Xiyue's arm, "Yueyue, I must repay you well."
Li Xiyue jokingly said, "Well, you should give me more work points from now on."
"No problem, leave it to me." Huang Xinrui patted her chest.
Li Xiyue was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She knew it was a joke. If she really dared to do this, Xu Guoqiang would be the first one to not forgive them.
The two talked for a long time but did not see Zhao Guohua. Huang Xinrui said that after he was carried back, he had been lying in the room and did not come out to eat dinner. Wang Jiaxing went in to see him and found that he was awake but very depressed.
Li Xiyue ignored him. As long as he didn't do anything stupid, she could treat him as air.
After taking a comfortable hot bath and changing into clean and soft clothes, Li Xiyue went to see what Xu Dashan had brought her: two kilograms of white sugar, a two-kilogram piece of pork belly, a can of tea, and a piece of floral cloth. Although it was only two or three feet long, it could be made into a top in spring.
Such a gift is considered a great gift nowadays, which shows that Xu Dashan is a grateful person.
Li Xiyue didn't act pretentiously and took the things.
They will officially start work tomorrow, so Li Xiyue and Huang Xinrui went to bed early.
Xiaobai was very well behaved. He lay beside Li Xiyue's shoes, always paying attention to the movements around him.
Li Xiyue was afraid that Huang Xinrui would be cold, so she put it into the space while she was sleeping, thinking that she would make a nest for it when she had time tomorrow.
I slept until five in the morning, got up, washed up, and went to the yard with Wang Jiaxing and Huang Xinrui.
After they left, Zhao Guohua, who was in pain all over, also got up. There was no hot water left for him in the kitchen, so he fetched some well water and wiped his face randomly. Fortunately, the well water was warm in winter and cool in summer, so it was not that cold.
After a quick wash, he went out to work in the cold wind and sneezed several times in a row.
All the members of the first production team had arrived, and the yard was packed.
Xu Guoqiang held a loudspeaker and shouted at everyone with full energy, "Today's morning meeting is mainly to announce several things. The first is that educated youth Zhao Xiaoli committed three serious offenses: stealing property, falsely accusing comrades, and damaging oxen. The team committee has decided to send her to the cowshed for reform.
"The second incident is about educated youth Zhao Guohua, who falsely accused good comrades and team committee members. The team committee has decided to make him carry manure alongside educated youth Zhao Xiaoli. We hope all members will take this as a warning."
Next comes the commendation.
"Please invite Comrade Li Xiyue to the stage."
Li Xiyue walked over to Xu Guoqiang under everyone's gaze. Xu Guoqiang said with a smile, "Everyone knows about Comrade Li Xiyue's heroic deeds. She has only been here for two days, but she has already performed two great merits: saving the oxen and the mother and child. The team committee has decided to reward Comrade Li Xiyue with 200 merit points."
There was an uproar in the audience.
Even if a strong laborer worked hard for a whole day, he could only get ten work points. It would take twenty days to get two hundred work points.
What's more, how many people can get full work points, and there is no one who can get full work points every day.
Li Xiyue already had 200 work points before she even started working. How could one not be envious of her?
But no matter how envious they were, everyone felt that these work points should belong to her. The value of the oxen and two lives was far more than just these work points.
"In addition, after discussion and decision by the team committee, Comrade Li Xiyue will serve as the second barefoot doctor of our production brigade."
