After leaving the space, he picked some herbs near the canyon and went to meet Uncle Xu Liu. He went down the mountain accompanied by his cheerful words.
Halfway through the journey, Uncle Xu Liu was called away by Xu Guoqiang, who said that the production team's cow was about to give birth and asked him to go over and deliver the baby.
Li Xiyue had no choice but to take the herbs back alone.
At Sixth Uncle's house, Xu Dawei was already waiting in the yard. Seeing her return, he propped up his heavy body and looked behind her, "Where's Sixth Uncle?"
"The cow is about to give birth, and Uncle Six was called by the team leader to deliver the baby." Li Xiyue entered the yard.
"Since Sixth Uncle is not here, I'll come back later." Xu Dawei said and left.
He caught a cold after being kicked into the paddy field by Xu Guoqiang. He still felt uncomfortable after taking medicine for two days. He wanted to ask Li Xiyue to take a look, but thinking about how he almost misunderstood her before, he couldn't bring himself to speak.
Li Xiyue ignored him and took out all the herbs, sorting out those that needed to be dried, those that needed to be cut, and those that needed to be dried and ground into powder.
Xu Guoqing came over to help, chatting casually, "Being a doctor is really troublesome. I don't like it at all. My grandfather insisted that I study medicine."
Li Xiyue asked: "Then what do you want to do?"
"I want to be a soldier." Xu Guoqing stood up, his head held high, "to be a soldier defending my country."
Li Xiyue usually saw that he was not serious, but he actually had military sentiments.
"I want to be a hero like my uncle." Xu Guoqing looked proud.
"Is your uncle a soldier?"
"Yes." Xu Guoqing said with great joy, "My uncle is amazing, just as amazing as Xiangyang's father. He even promised to take me to the army when I grow up."
Thinking of something, he lowered his eyebrows and sighed, "It's a pity that after Brother Xiangyang's father got into trouble, my parents and grandfather didn't let me join the army."
His father is a doctor in the county hospital and his mother is a nurse. They are busy with work and rarely come home. They left him to the old man since he was a child, and his life is even worse than Xiaobai's.
Li Xiyue was surprised. Xu Xiangyang's father was also a soldier?
She hurriedly asked, "What happened to Comrade Xiangyang's father?"
"Sacrificed." Xu Guoqing said in a low voice.
Li Xiyue was stunned. It turned out that Xu Xiangyang was a martyr's family member.
"Brother Xiangyang is very pitiful. His mother died when he was seven. Later, his uncle passed away, and his father...he and his uncle are the only two people left in his family."
Li Xiyue frowned. It turned out that Xu Xiangyang had experienced so much hardship and so many blows. No one could bear it.
"Sister Li, you must pretend that you don't know what I'm telling you. If grandpa knew that I told you, he would skin me alive." Xu Guoqing begged.
Li Xiyue nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
"Oh, it would be great if I could join the army." Xu Guoqing sighed.
"But you're too young to join the army. You might as well listen to your grandfather and go to school or study medicine. If you know how to do it, you might be able to save your comrades in times of crisis when you join the army."
Xu Guoqing said nothing, walked to a small bench nearby, and thought with his chin in his hand.
Li Xiyue stopped talking after that and planned to have breakfast before coming back to prepare the medicinal materials.
Herbs cannot be used directly after being collected. Many of them are toxic and must be processed. Firstly, the toxicity can be removed, and secondly, the processed herbs can better exert their medicinal effects.
The reason why many people in later generations say that traditional Chinese medicine is ineffective is that, on the one hand, many methods of preparing medicinal materials left by our ancestors have been lost, and on the other hand, most of the medicinal materials are artificially cultivated, so the efficacy is greatly reduced.
Some people have only a superficial understanding of Chinese medicine, which leads to accidents and further deepens their misunderstanding of traditional Chinese medicine.
For example, the typical case of someone being poisoned by eating Xanthium sibiricum in later generations is a case in point.
Xanthium sibiricum is poisonous and can only be used externally, not taken internally.
Some people don't understand and use so-called folk remedies to treat diseases indiscriminately, which not only fails to cure the disease but also causes deaths.
Whenever she sees these, Li Xiyue feels very sad. If possible, she hopes to let the public know more about traditional Chinese medicine and avoid such disasters as much as possible.
When they returned to the educated youth site, Wang Jiaxing was already making breakfast. Zhao Guohua was sitting in front of the stove, making a fire, and his face was covered in dust. It was obvious that this young master didn't even know how to make a simple fire. Fortunately, Wang Jiaxing was patient and taught him step by step.
He didn't make a fuss. When he saw Li Xiyue, he was like a mouse seeing a cat, shrinking his head and pretending to be a quail.
Li Xiyue was very satisfied with his performance. If he behaved honestly, there would be a place for him here. If he dared to do stupid things again, he would be kicked out and out of sight would be out of mind.
After breakfast, the postman came and handed her a newspaper, which was sent by the newspaper office. It was the issue about breaking off the engagement.
Li Xiyue spent a little more money and made a headline so that she could see it as soon as she got the newspaper.
She read the statement of severing ties and was very satisfied, so she put the newspaper into her space.
Then continue to work.
Xu Guoqing was still thinking about life. Li Xiyue did not disturb him and worked seriously. Xiaobai was sleeping soundly at her feet. The yard was quiet and peaceful.
Since Sixth Uncle was not around, Li Xiyue did not go up the mountain in the afternoon. He fed and changed the medicine for the oxen, and also had to look after the rabbits that Xu Xiangyang brought back.
"Is Sixth Uncle here?" Just as I was busy, a woman walked in.
Li Xiyue recognized her, Director Gao Xiuzhi. She walked over and said, "The cow is giving birth. Grandpa Xu has gone to the cowshed. Director Gao, what can I do for you?"
"I want to get some medicine." Gao Xiuzhi seemed relieved to hear that Uncle Xu Liu was not there. She took Li Xiyue and walked a few steps. She looked around to see if there was anyone around. "Li Zhiqing, can you treat women's illnesses?"
Seeing her being so evasive, Li Xiyue immediately understood, nodded, and pulled her into the house.
