Chapter 100 Sales outlet, barefoot doctor

Xie Yun had no opinion about the heroine. She was a stepmother, and it was very good that she could raise the children left by the original wife well, without abusing or overdoing them, and she did her best to educate them.

But she has no good feelings towards the three ungrateful sons, and she is even more disgusted with the male protagonist, this bastard.

Yan Guixiang wondered, "Then why is he fighting so hard? Fighting for his parents, brothers, sisters, nephews, and nieces?"

Xie Yun was surprised and asked, "What are you thinking about? He doesn't care about his parents, brothers, sisters, nephews, and nieces."

"ah?"

Xie Yun lowered his voice and said, "These people are a burden he was born with and cannot get rid of.

Could he ignore his parents? He couldn't. If he didn't, and his parents started arguing, how could he be safe? He knew his parents' temperaments and knew they might get into trouble. So, he sacrificed his allowance to comfort his family and prevent them from causing trouble.

Do you think that when he gets promoted, becomes rich, and achieves fame and success, and a little money slipping through his fingers is enough for his family to live a good life, will his family still quarrel with him? Will their attitude towards him change?

Now, they use filial piety and family affection to bind him and make him give his allowance to his family. In the future, when he earns more and more and his status becomes higher and higher, will his family still do this?

I think they will change their strategy and try to please and curry favor with him in exchange for benefits.

That little bit of benefit was completely insignificant to Zheng Laosan at that time, so he just gave it to him. Would he care?

So, everything is for his own future. He is very smart! "

Yan Guixiang said, "If that's the case, his wife might have endured the early years of hardship and waited for him to become successful and enjoy the good life with him. But no, that's not right. After all these years of hardship, his wife would have grown old and ugly, a yellow-faced woman, no longer worthy of standing by his side. There are so many cases of 'getting promoted and getting rich in exchange for a wife'. We can't rely on a man's conscience. That's too unrealistic."

Xie Yun echoed, "That's right, isn't it? You really see things clearly."

Yan Guixiang: "...You sound like you're praising me."

"Of course I'm praising you!"

"Don't give me that. I can't see things as clearly as a little girl like you."

"Hehe, I'm just speculating. After all, I'm 18 now, and I'll be 19 after the New Year. Maybe someone will come to my house and propose marriage one day. Then I have to analyze those men carefully, just in case I get cheated. As the saying goes, you shouldn't have the intention to harm others, but you must always be on guard against them."

"There's no need to be paranoid. At worst, we can just get divorced. What's the big deal?"

Xie Yun smiled and said, "Not everyone is as carefree as you. We should eliminate it at the source if we can. Especially when it comes to military marriages, it's difficult to divorce even if we want to."

Yan Guixiang: "...That's true. Military marriages are protected, and it's the soldiers who are protected, not their spouses. Zheng Laosan has suffered so much at home these days, and he deserves it."

"He absolutely deserves it! And he can only endure hardship for a few days. He will be gone after the New Year."

Xie Yun thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Director Yan, I have a small idea. I wanted to talk about it during the meeting last night, but it got a little late and I didn't have time. I'll tell you now since we still have time."

"you say."

"Look, as far as I know, some brigades have sales outlets, but ours doesn't. Some brigades have clinics, but ours doesn't. Why can't ours have one? If they don't have one, we can ask our superiors for it. We pay our grain tax every year to support national construction, and the country should support our rural development.

What's so difficult about opening a sales outlet? We just need someone who knows how to do the accounting and a place to live. The commune will just deliver goods there regularly.

As for the clinic, our brigade doesn't have anyone with medical skills, so why not train one? Last time, when I was at militia training, I saw a newspaper in the army's reading room. It had an article titled "The Direction of the Medical Education Revolution: The Growth of 'Barefoot Doctors'." Have you read it?

"I saw it."

"So, has our commune taken any action yet? The Chairman has said, 'Barefoot doctors are good,' and that the barefoot doctor system should be widely promoted in rural areas. Has our commune taken any action?"

Yan Guixiang shook her head, "Not yet."

Xie Yun said, "So, can we propose to quickly start training barefoot doctors? Train a barefoot doctor for our brigade and open a clinic in the brigade to serve the members of this brigade."

After a pause, Xie Yun whispered, "I went to the county seat today and heard people there say that the Youth League Office is mobilizing middle and high school students from the city to go to the countryside to work in the fields. Will anyone from our brigade come? If they do, will our brigade members still be able to participate in the barefoot doctor training? City kids are generally more educated than us, so will they be the ones to participate in the training?"

Yan Guixiang's expression was solemn. She knew more about the educated youth going to the countryside than Xie Yun. Old Zhang had already come to the commune to hold a meeting last time.

"You're right. If you want to train someone, start it now. Don't put it off any longer. Good things like this must be given to our own people first."

"Yes, the people in the city have more options than us. Don't fight with us for such a small opportunity."

Yan Guixiang nodded, agreeing with Xie Yun's statement.

Over a long period of time, their thinking has become rigid. They wait for their superiors to arrange everything and follow orders in all actions. They have lost some of their initiative.

Now it seems that taking the initiative is very important! Moreover, they have always talked about dedication, thinking about sacrificing personal interests to safeguard collective interests and national interests, but perhaps, they can also think more about themselves.

She looked at Xie Yun and said, "Binbin, Zhang Guangzong is old."

Xie Yun almost choked on his own saliva.

What does this have to do with the captain?

Yan Guixiang continued, "He's old, and his mind isn't as sharp as it used to be. He can't think of many things. When it comes to fighting for the interests of our members, we have to rely on the young people. I suggest he step down, and you take over as team leader."

Xie Yun: “!!!”

"Please spare me. I'm going to be a junior high school teacher in the spring! How can I be a team leader?"

"It's not that I can't do it, but I don't have the time. So, you can chat with me often and give me some advice. If it can make our members' lives better, why not do it?"

"That's fine. If I have any ideas, I'll tell you."

"good!"

☆

Yan Guixiang was a decisive person. After talking to Xie Yun, she went to the commune leaders to report the situation.

After hearing her words, Secretary Li and Director Zhong smiled and said, "We need to discuss this matter with the supply and marketing cooperative system. Our commune can't really control the supply and marketing cooperative. But if we apply, it won't be a problem."

"Barefoot doctor training is already in the works. The specific timeline hasn't been determined yet, but it seems the needs of the people are quite urgent, so we'll try to schedule it as soon as possible. We'll notify all the brigades when the time comes."

Yan Guixiang smiled and said, "The leaders have thought ahead of us. I have a small question. Barefoot doctors are supposed to come from the masses and go among the masses, so they should all be our members. Are there any specific requirements for the trainees? Please tell me about it. I will select the appropriate people when I get back and finalize the list of participants. How many people can participate from one brigade?"

She said this, but she didn't completely believe what her leader said. If it was really in the plan, why didn't Hongxia mention it at all when she got home? They would talk about work every night.

Secretary Li smiled and said, "The barefoot doctors will definitely be selected from among your brigade members. As for the specific requirements, the higher the educational level, the better, as this will facilitate their learning. As for the quota, we'll have two, preferably one male and one female. The training will cover not only injections, acupuncture, and basic medications, but also childbirth. We definitely need a female comrade."

"The leaders are really thoughtful. I'll make arrangements when I get back. Well, I won't disturb your work. I'll go out and wait for Hongxia."
