After leaving Xu Xiangyang's house, she went to Erniu's house to check on Grandma Wang's condition and gave her acupuncture. Then she took Erniu up the mountain to collect herbs and teach her to recognize the herbs on the mountain.
Erniu studied very diligently and quickly, and her ability to recognize medicines was no worse than Xu Guoqing's.
The two returned laden with their bounty, and Erniu even picked a lot of wild vegetables to give to Li Xiyue.
Li Xiyue took the medicine back to the clinic. Erniu went home and said she would go back in the afternoon.
The busy day passed quickly. Li Xiyue tidied the herbs in the yard while waiting for Chu Xun.
Footsteps sounded, and she turned to see a tall, handsome man appear in the night. She smiled and said, "You're back?"
"I bought fish, what kind of fish do you want to eat?" Chu Xun held up the fish in his hand to show her.
Li Xiyue said, "Whatever." She loved anything he made.
A kitchen killer like him is lucky to have anything to eat, so why would he be picky?
Chu Xun hugged her before going to the kitchen to cook dinner.
After packing up, Li Xiyue went into the kitchen to help.
"I'm not staying here tonight," Chu Xun said as he worked.
Li Xiyue asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"The people behind the mountain have been found. I have to go to the city overnight after dinner."
Li Xiyue nodded, "Then be careful."
"Don't worry, you're a very capable man. A few Japanese devils can't hurt me," Chu Xun said with a smile.
The words "your man" made Li Xiyue blush. This man is getting more and more irresponsible.
How come I never noticed this side of him before?
Sigh, I was fooled by his facade.
For dinner, Chu Xun made qingtuan (a type of glutinous rice dumpling), some with meat filling and some with red bean paste filling. He made a lot of them. "I don't know when I'll be back. You can save them and eat them slowly."
Li Xiyue said, "It's so hot, it won't last long."
"Take this to your friends who were sent to the countryside during the Cultural Revolution, or give some to the villagers." Chu Xun served her a bowl of fish soup.
He made two dishes with that fish: braised fish and fish head soup.
Li Xiyue nodded, "You should take some with you, so that Xiao Wu and Chen Yu can have a taste."
"Okay." Chu Xun picked up a piece of fish and carefully removed the bones.
Chen Yu, that kid, knows he's won the heart of a beauty and has said a lot of sour things. It's good to give him something to shut him up.
The red bean paste-filled qingtuan were sweet and soft. Li Xiyue ate four in one go, as well as two meat-filled ones. She also drank two bowls of fish soup and ate a small half bowl of fish meat that Chu Xun had picked out.
Another day of eating my fill.
Li Xiyue let out a satisfied burp.
After finishing his meal and cleaning up the kitchen, Chu Xun finally left.
After everyone left, the clinic was empty, and Li Xiyue felt a little uneasy. She took some green rice dumplings to the educated youth settlement, talked to Huang Xinrui for a while, and then went back to wash up.
After washing up, she entered her spatial dimension. The new pills were ready. She took them out, put in new medicinal herbs, and began refining another type.
After harvesting another batch of grains and vegetables, he went straight to sleep in the space.
Thinking to himself, Xu Dawei went to pick up the new educated youth this afternoon, and they would arrive tonight. He wondered who they would be.
Not long after Li Xiyue fell asleep, Xu Dawei returned in his oxcart.
He brought back a total of five educated youths: two men and three women. Of course, there were also several bad elements who had been sent down to the cowshed.
Huang Xinrui had already gone to sleep. Wang Jiaxing was waiting. Hearing the noise, he came out and saw five people. He thought to himself that the educated youth settlement was going to be quite lively from now on.
Xu Dawei handed the man over to Wang Jiaxing and then drove the oxcart back home.
Wang Jiaxing led the new educated youth into the courtyard. Before he could say anything, one of the male educated youths complained, "This place is too far away. My feet are all swollen from walking."
"It's alright, my sister is here. She knows medicine, so we can ask her to get some medicine to apply and we'll be fine," a female educated youth said with a smile.
