"Okay, Hongmei, are you feeling unwell?" Li Xiyue poured her a cup of hot water and asked with concern.
Xu Hongmei took the water, sat down on the stool, and shook her head. "No, I've recovered long ago, I just don't really want to go out..."
Li Xiyue understood that if she went out, she would hear those gossipy women talking, so she stayed at home to enjoy some peace and quiet.
"I've come today to say goodbye." Xu Hongmei took a sip of water and smiled.
Li Xiyue asked, "Are you going to school?"
"Mm." Xu Hongmei nodded, her eyes filled with hope for the future.
Li Xiyue was happy for her. "It's a new beginning after you get out, Hongmei. Look ahead and don't look back."
“I will, Dr. Li, thank you.” Xu Hongmei was extremely grateful. “Dr. Li, I’ve left the commune primary school, and there’s a vacancy. If you’d like to go…”
Li Xiyue shook her head and smiled, "Everyone has their own expertise. I'm not good at teaching; I still prefer being a doctor."
"That's true, being a doctor is much better than being a teacher."
Although being a teacher is easier and more respectable than working in the fields, it's not easy to manage those unruly kids, and the salary isn't high either. Relatively speaking, being a doctor is much better than being a teacher.
The next morning, Xu Yongshun's family took Xu Hongmei to the county town. Xu Hongmei, carrying her luggage alone, embarked on a new chapter in her life.
April arrived in the blink of an eye, and the busy farming season began. The production team was extremely busy, and there were also many more patients. Li Xiyue and Erniu were both very busy.
That day, Li Xiyue returned from collecting herbs on the mountain. When she passed by the educated youth settlement, she saw a strange female comrade pulling at Wang Jiaxing.
"Cousin, Auntie asked you to take care of me, you can't just abandon me, can you?"
cousin?
Li Xiyue was surprised; was that woman Wang Jiaxing's cousin?
“Let me tell you, my cousin is the vice-captain. If you dare disobey me, I’ll tell my cousin to deal with you.”
Another arrogant female voice came from the kitchen.
Li Xiyue's lips twitched. How come she has a cousin?
How come there are two more cousins at the educated youth settlement in just half a day?
Huang Xinrui stormed out of the kitchen, glanced at the two struggling in the yard, and was furious.
"Xinrui." Li Xiyue waved to her.
Huang Xinrui came over and went back to the clinic with her.
Back at the clinic, Li Xiyue asked, "What happened?"
“Two new educated youths arrived last night,” Huang Xinrui said, kicking the ground with her shoe.
New educated youth?
Another group of educated youth has arrived, and they're two women, no less.
Li Xiyue was speechless. "Two cousins?"
"That's right, one is Xue Min, the deputy captain's cousin, and the other is Tian Lingling, Wang Zhiqing's cousin!" She seemed to grit her teeth when she mentioned Wang Zhiqing.
Li Xiyue asked, "Don't you trust Wang Zhiqing's feelings for you?"
"So what if I trust her?" Huang Xinrui squatted on the ground, picked up a twig and scratched the ground. "Wang Jiaxing's family sent a letter specifically asking him to take good care of Tian Lingling, and more importantly, to cultivate their relationship. It would be best if they could get married in the countryside."
Li Xiyue: "..."
