"No need." Li Xiyue dodged his outstretched hand and walked around him into the courtyard.
Zhao Guohua chased after her, "Yueyue, it was all my fault before. I apologize to you. Can you forgive me?"
"Shut up!" Li Xiyue got goosebumps when she heard him call her "Yueyue." "Zhao Guohua, we're not that close yet, are we? If you call me Yueyue again, I'll sew your mouth shut!"
Zhao Guohua covered his mouth in horror; his intuition told him that Li Xiyue really dared to do this.
"And also, I will never forgive you." Li Xiyue held a bucket in one hand and put the other on her hip. "If 'sorry' was enough, what would be the point of having the police?"
Zhao Guohua lowered his hand, about to say something, when Li Xiyue stopped him, "Swallow your words, I don't want to hear them. Remember, don't get close to me, or you won't be able to bear the consequences."
No matter what's wrong with this kid or what he's up to, she will never let him succeed.
Zhao Guohua looked aggrieved. Doesn't someone who has done something wrong deserve forgiveness?
Wang Jiaxing and Huang Xinrui were both stunned by Zhao Guohua's strange move. Why was he suddenly being so attentive to Li Xiyue?
Is he still not scared after being beaten?
Two days later, the cow and calf were both fine, so Uncle Xu packed his bedding and went home.
"Not bad, not bad. We never even dared to dream of these medicines before. Girl, you're really something. You just asked, and Jingwanhong has them all." Uncle Xu held the all-purpose ointment, looking at it with great admiration.
Li Xiyue could understand his feelings very well. Even the most skilled cook cannot make a meal without rice. No matter how good his medical skills were, they would be useless without the right medicine.
"And there's a new blood pressure monitor, it looks so nice. The old one's readings were all blurry. Now it's much better. With the new instrument, it'll be much easier to diagnose everyone." Uncle Xu picked up the blood pressure monitor again, looking at it with great affection.
"Brother Xiangyang, just take it. I bought this for you specially from the commune."
An old man and a young girl were talking inside the house when a girl's coquettish voice came from outside the courtyard.
The two turned to look and saw Xu Xiangyang walk in with a sullen face, followed by a girl carrying a pair of shoes, chasing after him.
The girl was pretty, but her skin was a bit dark. She was wearing a red cotton-padded jacket, a red scarf around her neck, black pants, and black cotton shoes. She had two braids and wasn't very tall, only reaching Xu Xiangyang's shoulder.
Li Xiyue had never seen her before and didn't know who she was, so she looked at Uncle Xu and asked, "Who is this?"
“Oh, she’s my niece, surnamed Liu, named Hongshao,” Uncle Xu said, rubbing his forehead.
Li Xiyue understood.
Xu Weimin was the team's accountant. He had a younger sister, Xu Chunying, who married into Liujia Village, the fourth production team. Her husband's family was well-off, and Xu Chunying gave birth to three sons in a row, making her very popular with her husband's family.
Liu Hongshao was the only daughter in the Liu family. The whole family doted on their little girl and never let her work in the fields. She was very spoiled.
Because Liu Hongshao was born in 1957, when famine had just begun, her family named her Hongshao, which means having an endless supply of food.
I heard Xu Guoqing mention that Liu Hongshao likes medicine and is studying medicine under Uncle Liu. Li Xiyue hasn't seen her these past few days because her grandmother celebrated her birthday and she went home.
"Brother Xiangyang, please accept it, okay?" Liu Hongshao kept pestering Xu Xiangyang.
Hearing that affected voice, Li Xiyue got goosebumps and couldn't help but shiver.
Uncle Xu frowned, looking like he had a headache; it seemed he was in for another period of peace.
Xu Guoqing, who was inside the house, came out to watch the commotion and grinned slyly. "Brother Xiangyang, this is Sister Hongshao's kind gesture, so please accept it."
Xu Xiangyang looked at him with hostility. "You're accepting it?"
"Sister Hongshao didn't buy it for me, so I can't wear it," Xu Guoqing said helplessly, spreading his hands.
Liu Hongshao immediately said, "Yes, I bought it especially for you. No one else can wear it except you. Xiangyang, why don't you try it on?"
"No need." Xu Xiangyang pushed away the shoes she offered and strode into the house.
The shoe fell to the ground, and Liu Hongshao's eyes welled up with tears of grievance.
Xu Guoqing clicked his tongue a few times, thinking that Xiangyang really didn't know how to be gentle with women.
Xu Xiangyang went into the house and asked Li Xiyue, "How is the rabbit's injury?"
