Chapter 90 Fireflies (2/2)



As it got late, Wang Jiaxing let Chu Xun stay at the educated youth settlement. Anyway, he was the only one in his room, and it was spacious enough that it could accommodate two or three more people, let alone Chu Xun.

Chu Xun did not refuse. He gave Li Xiyue a deep look and followed Wang Jiaxing into the house.

Li Xiyue and Huang Xinrui took the fireflies back to their house.

After a quick wash, Chu Xun lay in bed and could faintly hear Li Xiyue's soft laughter coming from the other room. His lips curled up involuntarily, and he slept unusually soundly that night.

The next morning, Li Xiyue and the others got up early according to their work schedules.

Chu Xun had also gotten up early. He first went for a run around the village, then came back and did a set of boxing moves, as well as push-ups and other physical training.

He was wearing a white vest, and after exercising, he was covered in sweat, with his muscles clearly visible.

Li Xiyue came out of the house and stumbled upon this scene, almost getting a nosebleed.

Do not look at what is improper!

She averted her gaze, which had been irresistibly drawn to him, and her face flushed.

"Good morning, Comrade Xiyue." Chu Xun took in her expression and smiled.

Li Xiyue quickly said goodbye and ran out of the yard to go to work as if she were escaping.

Chu Xun seemed to have found a breakthrough. He smiled as he watched her leave before going back to his room to get dressed.

When she arrived at the team committee office, Xu Guoqiang told her that she didn't have to work today because it was the day of the barefoot doctor assessment. The team gave her a day off so that she could go to the county to take the exam with Uncle Xu Liu.

Li Xiyue had no choice but to return to the educated youth settlement to prepare.

Chu Xun was just coming out of the house after tidying up when he saw her return. He asked in confusion, "Weren't you at work?"

"I'm going to the county today to take the barefoot doctor assessment, so I don't have to work," Li Xiyue said.

Chu Xun then said, "I drove here, I'll take you there. I also need to take care of some things in the county town."

"A grandfather is going with us too."

"It's alright, there's enough room," Chu Xun said.

Li Xiyue said happily, "Thank you, Brother Chu."

That way, you won't have to squeeze onto the shuttle bus.

"Yueyue." At that moment, Uncle Xu Liu arrived.

Li Xiyue then told him about taking Chu Xun's car to town. Uncle Xu, who respected soldiers, thanked her repeatedly upon hearing this.

After returning to the house and carrying her basket, Li Xiyue went out with the two others. Since it wasn't a good day to take Xiaobai with her, she left Xiaobai in the village.

Uncle Xu also carried a basket on his back, which was filled with a lot of food. "My son and daughter-in-law are at the county hospital, so I'm bringing some things to them."

"Grandpa, when do they usually come back?" Li Xiyue asked.

She has been here for over a month and has not seen Uncle Xu's son and daughter-in-law even once.

I often hear Xu Guoqing talk about it, and he's always full of complaints.

Uncle Xu said, "It's usually better not to come back for the Dragon Boat Festival or Mid-Autumn Festival. It's annoying when people come back."

Li Xiyue could tell that although he said that, what old man doesn't miss his children?

Chu Xun was driving the same Jeep that Li Xiyue had seen before. It was very cool. It was Li Xiyue's first time riding in such a car, so she was quite curious and looked around and touched it.

Upon arriving at the commune, Chu Xun got off the bus, went back to his lodgings to retrieve some belongings, and then continued towards the county town.

Chu Xun drove quite fast and took a shortcut, arriving in the county town in less than two hours.

The assessment was in the afternoon. Uncle Xu went to see his son and daughter-in-law first, Chu Xun went to take care of some business, and Li Xiyue also planned to take care of some business.

She drank the disguise potion, put some grain in her basket, circled around the county hospital a few times, and successfully sold a lot of grain.

He changed his identity and put some chicken, duck, fish and meat into his basket. He was surrounded by some older women who called him nephew and niece. In no time, his basket was empty.

It sold for over two hundred yuan.

Then she found the black market and sold a batch of grains, vegetables and fruits. The demand in the county town was even greater. This time, Li Xiyue disguised herself as several people and sold a lot of goods in batches, earning more than a thousand yuan.

Seeing that the balance in her account had finally reached the thousandth digit, Li Xiyue was extremely satisfied.

While I was tidying up my basket in an alley, a tail that had been following me appeared.

Li Xiyue already knew someone was following her and deliberately waited for him here. It was a person in charge of the black market who had probably noticed how much he was selling and had his eye on her.

Qian San'er looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a half-smile, "Brother, let's talk."
