Chapter 37 Going up the mountain to collect herbs



The members did not object to the team committee's decision. Li Xiyue was a good doctor, and everyone would be able to get better treatment for any illness in the future without having to go to the health center.

The only two people who disagreed with this matter were Zhao Xiaoli and Zhao Guohua, and they were extremely angry.

But they knew that Li Xiyue had captured the hearts of the team committee cadres and members. No matter what they said, it would not change the situation, but would make their situation worse.

The two could only be angry but not say anything, secretly cursing the team committee cadres and Li Xiyue eight hundred times in their hearts.

After finishing the discussion, Xu Guoqiang assigned the tasks for today, and everyone carried their farm tools to go to work early in the morning.

"Captain, do I have to go to work for Grandpa Xu?" Li Xiyue asked.

Unexpectedly, the team committee asked her to be a barefoot doctor. She thought the production team already had a barefoot doctor and they would not assign her to be one again.

"Yes, he's the only barefoot doctor in our production team. He treats any sick or injured members of our commune or livestock. If they can't handle the problem, we go to the health center... Don't worry, he gets the highest work points."

"Thank you, Captain."

Xu Guoqiang thought of something and reminded: "Xiangyang, you have to be more careful..."

After a pause, he continued, "But after what happened in the past two days, I think there won't be any problem. Well, go ahead. If anything else happens, I'll arrange for you to go to another team."

In the entire Red Sun Production Team, only the first team has a barefoot doctor. Now that Li Xiyue is here, let her get familiar with the environment and procedures first, and then arrange for her to take charge of another team.

Li Xiyue was confused. What did her going to Uncle Xu Liu have to do with Xu Xiangyang?

"How do we do it?" When they arrived at the cowshed, Zhao Guohua covered his nose and asked Zhao Xiaoli with disgust.

They knew each other before going to the countryside, and Zhao Guohua and Li Muqing brought Zhao Xiaoli with them on several dates.

But Zhao Xiaoli was not polite to him. She said angrily, "Use a shovel to shovel out the cow dung and take it to the composting pond."

At this time, chemical fertilizers were scarce, and most of the fertilizers were farmyard manure. The production team would collect human and livestock feces and gather them in a large pool for fermentation, so that they could be used during spring and summer plowing.

There was no one else in the cowshed except Zhao Xiaoli. She was very tired these two days, and finally someone came to share the burden with her. She had to use him well.

Zhao Guohua was reluctant to do it, but he had no choice but to pick up the shovel and shovel the manure reluctantly. As soon as he shoveled it down, the cow dung splashed on him and he couldn't help but vomit.

Zhao Xiaoli scoffed, "Do you really think you're a master? Hurry up and work! If you can't finish, I'll tell the team leader and deduct your work points!"

Zhao Guohua felt extremely frustrated, like a tiger in plain land being bullied by a dog!

"Girl, you're here." As they entered Uncle Xu Liu's yard, he, who was drying herbs in the yard, greeted her with a smile. Seeing a black dog following her, he jokingly said, "Oh, and you brought your family with you?"

"This is Xiaobai, the stray dog ​​I adopted yesterday."

Wild dog Xiaobai: "..."

Li Xiyue walked over and said modestly, "Grandpa Xu, please give me more guidance in the future."

"Your medical skills are better than mine. I'll have to trouble you to give me more guidance in the future." Uncle Xu stroked his beard with a smile, and liked her more and more.

"Let me give you acupuncture first today." Li Xiyue took out a silver needle.

Uncle Xu Liu didn't hesitate and sat on the stool.

A doctor who cannot heal himself has suffered from headaches for many years. After the girl gave him acupuncture, he was finally able to sleep well at night.

After the acupuncture, Li Xiyue asked: "What do I need to do?"

"Although our work isn't heavy, it's numerous and varied. Take your time, and I'll explain it bit by bit." Uncle Xu Liu felt his mind clearer and his mood improved. He asked her, "Do you recognize all the herbs?"

"I know him."

Understanding herbal medicine is a basic course in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Uncle Xu handed her a backpack and said, "Let's go up the mountain to collect herbs first."

"Okay." Li Xiyue agreed readily and took the backpack.

Uncle Xu was pleased with her obedience and asked, "Do you know how to get up the mountain?"

"Grandma Yu gave me a general idea. If you can't leave, I can ask."

Now that the villagers have accepted the educated youth, if she asks them, they will probably tell her.

Uncle Xu nodded. "Go ahead, but don't go too deep into the mountains. There are a lot of medicinal herbs there, but there are wild animals. They're also in the mountains. Let's come back together. Today is your first day of work, so have breakfast at my place."

them?

Li Xiyue thought, he must be talking about his grandson.

Carrying the backpack, Li Xiyue went out and took Xiaobai straight to the direction Grandma Yu told her.

Going up the mountain to collect herbs was a job tailor-made for her. The black soil in the space was still empty, which was perfect for transplanting some herbs into it.

It took more than ten minutes to reach the foot of the mountain. Li Xiyue was already sweating. She was afraid of people, so she didn't dare to use the space casually and could only climb by herself.

The mountain road was a bit steep, and she climbed up with difficulty, holding on to the tree. Xiaobai's four legs were very fast, and he was ahead of her in a moment, and had to stop from time to time to wait for her.

When we reached halfway up the mountain, we finally found some herbs and picked them one by one and put them in our backpack.

There are quite a lot of herbs in the mountains in the south. After about an hour, Li Xiyue had picked half a basket of them and transplanted a lot of herbs into the space.

There is not much time left for the morning work, so she will go to the mountains at noon to see if she can dig up valuable herbs such as ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum.

When I was going down the mountain, I looked around and didn't see Uncle Xu's grandson Xu Guoqing. I guessed he must have gone home.

Li Xiyue didn't stay any longer. She carried the basket on her back and went down the mountain to return to Uncle Xu's house.

As expected, Uncle Xu Liu's grandson had returned and was squatting in the yard eating breakfast. When he saw her come back, he quickly shouted into the house, "Grandpa, Sister Li is back."

"You little bastard, I told you to wait a while before eating but you just wouldn't listen. Are you the reincarnation of a starving ghost?" Uncle Xu Liu came out of the kitchen with dishes in his hand. Seeing his grandson stealing food, he couldn't help but scold him.

Xu Guoqing didn't care. "I'm tired of picking herbs. What's wrong with eating a little first?"

"You're tired after picking more than a dozen herbs this morning? It's embarrassing to tell anyone." After scolding his grandson, Uncle Xu immediately put on a smile and said to Li Xiyue, "Girl, wash your hands and have breakfast."

Li Xiyue responded and went to the water tank to wash her hands. When she was about to enter the house, she saw Xu Xiangyang coming in holding a rabbit.

A big guy about 1.7 meters tall is holding a fluffy little rabbit. The picture is very funny.
