"I'm almost fully recovered."
I hadn't seen him for several days, but thankfully he still remembered the rabbit he had brought back.
If he doesn't come soon, Xu Guoqing won't be able to resist taking action.
These days, Xu Guoqing would often squat down in front of the rabbit and ask her, "Sister Li, do you think braised rabbit or roasted rabbit tastes better?"
She replied with a smile, "You'll have to ask your brother Xiangyang about that."
Upon hearing Xu Xiangyang's name, Xu Guoqing immediately lost his composure. "Alright, I'll just call Hu Zi and go catch a couple of fish from the river to eat."
If he really dares to eat this rabbit, Xu Xiangyang will definitely eat him.
Xu Xiangyang asked, "Are we going to gather herbs later? Want to come along?"
Li Xiyue looked at Uncle Xu, knowing she had to follow his instructions.
Uncle Xu waved his hand, "Go, go, go, go gather herbs, let me have some peace and quiet." Seeing his grandson still grinning mischievously, he shouted, "You brat, you go too. If you dare to slack off again, I won't give you any food."
"Fine, I'll go then." Xu Guoqing replied defiantly, picked up his basket, and walked away first.
Li Xiyue obediently picked up her basket and went out, and Xiaobai, who was lying beside her, immediately followed.
Xu Xiangyang then went to hug the rabbit.
"Are you the new female educated youth?" As she passed Xu Hongshao, Liu Hongshao stopped Li Xiyue, her tone unfriendly and her eyes hostile.
Li Xiyue was completely baffled. Had she done anything to provoke Liu Hongshao?
Liu Hongshao looked her up and down, her gaze settling on her unbelievably beautiful face. Jealousy immediately welled up inside her. "Don't think you can really become a barefoot doctor. I'll beat you in the assessment."
So they're hostile towards her because of the barefoot doctor thing?
Li Xiyue wasn't afraid at all. She smiled and said, "Go for it," and then walked away.
Liu Hongshao stomped her foot in anger, "Brother Xiangyang, look at her attitude!"
Xu Xiangyang ignored her and followed Li Xiyue out the door.
Liu Hongshao ran angrily to Uncle Xu Liu to complain, "Uncle Liu, you promised to let me be a barefoot doctor, but you didn't keep your word."
“I never said that. I’m telling you, Sweet Potato Girl, you’ve been learning from me for two years, and you still can’t recognize all the herbs. You’re not even as good as that lazy brat Guoqing. Forget about being a barefoot doctor. Find something else.”
Liu Hongshao grabbed his arm and pleaded, "No, no, I want to be a barefoot doctor."
“Girl, do you want to be a doctor or do you want to get close to that kid Xiangyang? Don’t think that your grandpa is old and senile and can’t see through your little schemes. Grandpa advises you to give up. That kid Xiangyang’s heart is harder than stone. You can’t melt it.”
Uncle Xu pushed her hand away, rubbed his throbbing temples, and went to the yard to chop herbs.
Liu Hongshao followed, her expression resolute, "No way, I won't marry anyone but Xiangyang."
Uncle Xu shook his head. "A girl who doesn't know how to endure hardship is wasting her good birth."
"Sixth Grandpa, tell me, in the few days I've been home, has Brother Xiangyang been bewitched by the female educated youth from the city?" Liu Hongshao came to Uncle Xu's side and asked angrily.
Uncle Xu raised his eyebrows. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I've heard a lot about Li Xiyue since I got back. Xiangyang hates female educated youth the most, but he's helped her several times. Xiangyang never does that." Xu Hongshao clenched her small fists and concluded, "It must be that Li Xiyue is shameless and seduced Xiangyang..."
"Sweetie girl!" Uncle Xu shouted, "Stop being unreasonable. If you keep making a scene like this, don't come here again."
Liu Hongshao was indignant, but she didn't dare to offend Uncle Xu. If he didn't let her come here, how could she stay with Brother Xiangyang?
"Sixth Grandfather, I'll listen to you. I'll study medicine diligently." Liu Hongshao said, standing up. "I'll go gather herbs now."
Uncle Xu stopped him, saying, "There are already enough people on the mountain, so don't go and join the fun."
"No, I'm going." Ignoring his objections, Liu Hongshao ran off quickly.
Uncle Xu shook his head helplessly, "Those who don't listen to the elders will suffer the consequences!"
