Chapter 37 Gathering Herbs in the Mountain



The members did not oppose the team committee's decision. Li Xiyue was a good doctor, and everyone would be able to receive better treatment for any illnesses they might have, without having to go to the health center anymore.

The only two who disagreed were Zhao Xiaoli and Zhao Guohua, and they were furious with each other.

But they knew that Li Xiyue had already won the hearts of the team leaders and members, and no matter what they said, they couldn't change the situation; on the contrary, it would only make their situation worse.

The two could only vent their anger without daring to speak out, secretly cursing the team committee members and Li Xiyue eight hundred times in their hearts.

After finishing his business, Xu Guoqiang assigned the day's tasks, and everyone picked up their farm tools and went to work early in the morning.

"Captain, am I going to work for Grandpa Xu?" Li Xiyue asked.

Unexpectedly, the team committee made her a barefoot doctor. They thought that since the production team already had a barefoot doctor, they wouldn't assign her to that position.

"Yes, he is the only barefoot doctor in our production team. He treats all the sick and injured members and livestock. If he can't handle it, we go to the clinic... Don't worry, he gets the highest work points."

"Thank you, Captain Xie."

Xu Guoqiang suddenly remembered something and reminded him, "You need to be careful around Xiangyang..."

He paused for a moment and then said, "But after what happened these past two days, I think there shouldn't be any problems. Alright, go ahead. If anything 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 has arrived, let her familiarize herself with the environment and procedures first, and then we will arrange for her to take charge of other teams.

Li Xiyue was completely confused. What did her going to Uncle Xu's place have to do with Xu Xiangyang?

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

They knew each other before they went to the countryside. Zhao Guohua and Li Muqing had dated a few times, and Zhao Xiaoli was brought along.

But Zhao Xiaoli wasn't very polite to him. She said irritably, "Take a shovel and shovel the cow dung out, then carry it to the composting pit."

At this time, chemical fertilizers are scarce, and farmyard manure is the main source of fertilizer. The production team would collect human and animal excrement and put it in a large pool to ferment, so that it could be used during spring and summer plowing.

There was no one else in the cowshed except Zhao Xiaoli. She had been exhausted these past two days, and now that someone had come to help her, she had to make the most of it.

Zhao Guohua didn't want to do it, but he had no choice. He reluctantly picked up the shovel to shovel manure. With one shovelful, cow dung splattered all over him, and he couldn't help but vomit.

Zhao Xiaoli sneered, "You really think you're some kind of young master? Hurry up and finish, or I'll tell the team leader and deduct your work points!"

Zhao Guohua was extremely frustrated; he was truly a tiger fallen into the plains, bullied by dogs!

"Girl, you're here." As she entered Uncle Xu's courtyard, Uncle Xu, who was drying herbs in the yard, greeted her with a smile. Seeing that she was followed by a black dog, he joked, "Oh, you brought a family member with you?"

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

Wild Dog Little White: "..."

Li Xiyue walked over and said humbly, "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 this old man some pointers in the future." Uncle Xu stroked his beard with a smile, growing increasingly fond of her.

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

Uncle Xu didn't stand on ceremony and sat down on the stool.

A doctor cannot heal himself. He had been suffering from headaches for many years. After the girl gave him acupuncture, he was finally able to sleep soundly at night.

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

“Our work isn’t strenuous, but it’s plentiful and varied. Take it slow, I’ll explain it to you little by little.” Uncle Xu felt much clearer-headed and in a better mood. He asked her, “Do you recognize all the herbs?”

"We know each other."

Understanding herbs is a basic course in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Uncle Xu handed her a basket, "Then let's go up the mountain to gather herbs first."

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

Uncle Xu was satisfied with her obedience. "Do you know how to get up the mountain?"

"Grandma Yu gave me a general overview. If I can't walk, I can ask her."

Now that the villagers have accepted the educated youth, they should be able to tell her if she asks them.

Uncle Xu nodded, "Go ahead, but don't go too deep into the mountains. Although there are many medicinal herbs there, there are wild animals. They are also on the mountain. We'll come back together. Today is your first day of work, so have breakfast here."

them?

Li Xiyue thought that he must be referring to his grandson.

Carrying a basket on her back, Li Xiyue led Xiaobai straight to the direction Grandma Yu had told her.

Gathering herbs in the mountains was a job tailor-made for her; the black soil in her spatial dimension was still empty, so she could transplant some herbs into it.

It took more than ten minutes to reach the foot of the mountain. Li Xiyue was already sweating. Afraid of being approached, she dared not use her spatial abilities and had to climb on her own.

The mountain path was quite steep, and she struggled to climb up while holding onto a tree. Little White was fast on its four legs and quickly got ahead of her, stopping every now and then to wait for her.

When we reached the halfway point of the mountain, we finally found some medicinal herbs, which we picked and put into our baskets.

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

She didn't have much time to work in the morning, so she would go into the deep mountains at noon to see if she could dig up valuable herbs like ginseng and lingzhi.

Looking around as I descended the mountain, I didn't see Uncle Xu's grandson, Xu Guoqing, and guessed that he must have gone home.

Li Xiyue didn't linger any longer. She carried her basket down the mountain and returned to Uncle Xu's house.

Sure enough, Uncle Xu's grandson had returned and was squatting in the yard eating breakfast. When he saw her return, he quickly called into the house, "Grandpa, Sister Li is back."

"You brat, I told you to wait a bit before you eat, but you wouldn't listen. Are you a reincarnated starving ghost?" Uncle Xu came out of the kitchen carrying dishes and couldn't help but scold his grandson when he saw him stealing food.

Xu Guoqing didn't care at all, "I'm tired from collecting herbs, what's wrong with eating a little first?"

"You can get 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 come eat breakfast."

Li Xiyue responded, washed her hands by the water tank, and was about to enter the house when she saw Xu Xiangyang carrying a rabbit in.

A big guy, over 1.7 meters tall, holding a fluffy little rabbit, the scene is quite comical.
