Seeing this, He Wan said, "Sister Ranran, from now on, you can only see two or three people a day for bone setting. If everyone comes to you for bone setting every day, you'll be exhausted."

Xie Meihui and Ding Shaoling pursed their lips and whispered, "They've only been there a few days, and they've already learned so much?"

Xie Meihui said, "She spends all day studying with He Zhiqing in the room. A few days ago, she even tried out all the skills Wang Xiaorong and the others have. Why are you jealous of her? Didn't you say you were going to the county town to find a job?"

Ding Shaoling said, "My dad said he's asked someone for help, and we'll see what happens next year. But I heard that our village and the neighboring village are going to build a primary school."

"I heard that Xue Zhenzhen has been going to the Zhang family a lot lately, all because of the primary school thing. I also want to try my best."

"Try it whenever you have the chance. Although the chances are few, they are not nonexistent."

"kindness."

Su Ranran and Zhang Cuicao's trips to the county town during this period were not in vain; the results today were remarkable. Someone then asked, "Will Su, the educated youth, become our village's barefoot doctor from now on?"

Su Ranran smiled but didn't say anything. It depends on the brigade leader and the party secretary.

Grandpa Li has been raising pigs for several years, and his predictions are quite accurate; the old sow reacted in the middle of the night.

Grandpa Li was worried that the old sow would get cold, so he cleared out a room and, together with Wang Jianguo, herded the old sow inside.

When Zhang Cuicao went there at dawn, the old sow had already given birth to two piglets.

Wang Xiaorong pointed to the piglet next to the sow and said, "Zhang Zhiqing, look, isn't the sow crushing the piglet?"

Zhang Cuicao looked at it and said, "That's right."

Grandpa Li went to eat, but Wang Xiaorong didn't dare to go up to him. If she pressed down on the piglets for too long, they would be crushed to death.

These days, having a piglet is no easy feat. Getting it born safely is one hurdle, but whether it survives is another.

Now, Grandpa Li has them look after the piglets. If they really die, Grandpa Li will definitely yell at them.

Zhang Cuicao had at least spent a few days at the veterinary station. She knew that sows protect their piglets, and if the sow couldn't be taken out, the piglets wouldn't survive.

She went outside and brought in some hay, then, mustering her courage, she lured the sow towards the piglets.

And sure enough, this method worked; it successfully attracted the sow and she gave birth to piglets.

When Grandpa Li arrived, he found that the sow had already given birth to three piglets, which were being kept warm on the side.

Grandpa Li looked at the two educated youths and smiled with satisfaction: "These two kids are really experienced; they didn't even lose any piglets."

Zhang Cuicao smiled and said, "Uncle Li told us the key points to pay attention to yesterday, and we all remembered them."

Grandpa Li smiled. He had been watching over the old sow for over a month, busy cooking pig feed, feeding the pig, and cleaning the pigpen during the day. At night, he would stay by the sow's side without even taking off his clothes. He would be awakened by the slightest noise and often didn't even have time to eat. Now that these two people had come, he could go back to eat when the sow gave birth. He was very happy.

"These piglets are easily crushed or bitten to death by their mothers when they are first born, and they are also very prone to getting sick and having diarrhea. Once they get sick, it is difficult for them to survive. Today, you two will follow me to learn how to take care of piglets."

Wang Xiaorong smiled and said, "Okay, Uncle Li."

When Grandpa Li saw that the old sow had given birth to another piglet, he quickly led them away to clean the placenta.

Today, this old sow gave birth to six piglets. Grandpa Li asked Wang Jianguo to use a lot of corn cobs and leaves to keep the piglets warm.

Zhang Cuicao fed the sow soybean cake and gave her enough water before putting the piglets back.

In no time, the piglets were crawling around the mother pig, squeaking and squealing. Although raising pigs was smelly and dirty, all three of them had smiles on their faces.

Under Grandpa Li's guidance, the two of them had been taking good care of the piglets. Although they had been very careful, a heavy snow fell just before the New Year, freezing one of the piglets to death.
