Chapter 83 Pulling Up Seedlings (2/2)



Xu Jianmin nodded and took the towel Gao Xiulan handed him to wipe his sweat.

“It’s not advisable to get acupuncture right after exercising. Rest for half an hour first.” Li Xiyue sat down in front of him, first looked at his leg, and then asked some questions.

"I still can't feel my legs, but I can sleep better at night, I sweat less, and I haven't had nightmares anymore..."

Li Xiyue knew that he was probably tormented by painful memories of the past, which was causing him to have trouble sleeping. Her prescription included medicine to calm his nerves and help him sleep.

Before treating an illness, first regulate your diet and sleep. If these two things are good, your physical condition will also improve, and you can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

"How are your bowel movements and urination?" Li Xiyue asked again.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the state of one's bowel movements and urination can directly reflect one's physical condition and is therefore very important.

Xu Jianmin said, "My bowel movements are normal, and I'm urinating more often."

Previously, he didn't want to trouble his nephew and Gao Xiulan, so he refused to eat much or drink much water, and he would only have a bowel movement every few days, and urinate only once or twice a day.

"That's good." Li Xiyue nodded.

Overall, there have been improvements.

After he had rested enough, Li Xiyue gave him acupuncture. After the acupuncture, she instructed him, "Don't do strenuous exercise before or after acupuncture, keep a happy mood, get more sun, and drink more water."

Xu Jianmin wrote them down one by one.

After leaving the Xu family, Li Xiyue told Uncle Xu Liu about her departure and prepared to go to work in the fields.

“Why don’t you apply for full-time leave after the assessment? You’re such a delicate young lady, that kind of work isn’t for you,” Uncle Xu said.

Li Xiyue smiled and replied, "Okay, but I still have to do what I need to do these next few days. I'm leaving now."

“You should come with me during the National Day holiday, so you can keep each other company.” Uncle Xu urged his grandson, who was slacking off inside, to come out. He then instructed, “Keep an eye on your sister, don’t just cause trouble.”

"Okay," Xu Guoqing replied impatiently, and left with Li Xiyue.

The production team must complete spring plowing before May 1st.

According to Lao Zhuang, if the crops are not planted by May Day, the harvest will be affected.

May is just two weeks away, and time is tight, so no matter how important the matter is, it has to give way to spring plowing. Everyone in the village, young and old, has to go to work, and no one is allowed to take leave.

Besides Li Xiyue and Xu Guoqing, even Xu Xiangyang was planting rice seedlings in the field.

Huang Xinrui was walking around the fields, checking on everyone's work so she could record their work points.

“Li Zhiqing, you and Guoqing go pull up the rice seedlings,” Xu Dawei said.

Pulling rice seedlings is not a difficult task, similar to cutting pig feed. It is usually a job for the elderly, children, and novices, or a job that can only be obtained through connections.

There were already quite a few people in the tender green rice paddies, mostly children like Xu Guoqing, as well as Grandma Yu and her son Huzi.

"Yueyue, come here quickly, there's a seat here." Grandma Yu waved and smiled when she saw Li Xiyue.

Tiger, who was standing nearby, called Xu Guoqing over, and the two good brothers whispered to each other, not knowing what they were saying.

Li Xiyue walked over, went down into the field, and sat down next to Grandma Yu.

"You're so smart, wearing high boots," Grandma Yu said with a smile.

Li Xiyue made a special trip back to the educated youth settlement to change into these gloves. She also took a pair of transparent rubber gloves from her spatial storage so that she wouldn't have to take off her shoes and walk barefoot in the paddy fields, and her hands wouldn't get dirty. Most importantly, the gloves were transparent, so no one could see them.

"Yueyue, like this, grab the base of the seedling with three fingers and pull hard. Remember, only pull two at a time, otherwise they will break," Grandma Yu patiently taught her.
