Xu Guoqiang told Li Xiyue that new educated youth were coming to the brigade.
Yesterday he went to a meeting at the commune committee. The commune leaders said that another batch of educated youth would be coming. Since people from each brigade would be coming, he couldn't say anything and could only obey the arrangements.
Moreover, quite a few people came; their team was divided into groups of no less than five people.
Xu Guoqiang was furious about this. "Our place is a poor, remote mountain village. Even the villagers can't get enough to eat. What use are those pampered educated youths except to hold us back?"
Remembering that Li Xiyue, who was standing next to him, was also an educated youth, he quickly added, "Of course, you are an exception, Li Xiyue."
Li Xiyue smiled and didn't mind.
It's not surprising that Xu Guoqiang was upset. The educated youth couldn't do farm work, but they didn't eat any less. The food rations were already low, and then a few more people came to share them. Who would be happy about that?
"Captain, with so many educated youths coming all at once, the educated youth settlement might not be able to accommodate them all. I also need to process medicinal herbs frequently, and I'm afraid it will affect everyone. Why don't I just move to the clinic?" Li Xiyue suggested.
This wouldn't affect the brigade and was considered a reasonable request, so Xu Guoqiang agreed, "Okay."
Two more days before the new educated youth arrive, Li Xiyue is preparing to move there early, which makes Huang Xinrui very sad. "Yueyue, I will miss you when you leave."
“I’m right next door. We see each other every day. If you miss me, just come see me. It’s only a few steps away.” Li Xiyue laughed when she saw her looking like she was going through a life-or-death separation.
Huang Xinrui pouted, "It's not far, but I still can't bear to leave you. What will happen if the new educated youth cause trouble when you're not here?"
“You’re an old educated youth, how can you not handle them?” Li Xiyue said, “The brigade leader said that if there are too many people in the educated youth settlement, he will make you and Wang the team leaders to manage the new educated youth and prevent them from causing trouble.”
Upon hearing this, Huang Xinrui immediately beamed with joy. "You want me to be the team leader? Does that mean all the new educated youth will have to listen to me?"
“The male educated youth listen to Wang, and the female educated youth listen to you. The two of you will manage the educated youth settlement together.”
Huang Xinrui became excited, "That's great, hahaha..."
Seeing how quickly she had forgotten her unhappiness about moving out, Li Xiyue smiled helplessly.
This girl's attention is so easy to divert.
Li Xiyue moved her belongings to the clinic that very day, and was finally able to live alone.
Huang Xinrui is a good person, but she needs more independent space. She has secrets, and living alone will better protect those secrets from being leaked.
Looking at the room that had already been furnished, she took a deep breath; the feeling of freedom was wonderful.
"Sister." Erniu and Laidi have arrived.
When Li Xiyue arrived in the courtyard, she saw two little girls carrying a basket in one hand and a small bucket in the other.
The basket contained herbs, and the bucket contained leeches and earthworms.
Li Xiyue smiled and patted their heads, "You brought so much medicine again, you guys are really amazing."
The two children looked at each other, overjoyed.
“My sister will be living here from now on, so you can just come find me here,” Li Xiyue said with a smile.
The children nodded.
Lai Di still wanted to eat, so Li Xiyue gave her two White Rabbit candies and two peach shortbreads. Then she excitedly ran away with the food.
Erniu still wanted money, so Li Xiyue gave her four cents. She clutched the money, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.
