Zhou Ziwen grows vegetables in his yard and ginseng in his private plot, but he doesn't grow any grain at all.

The corn is almost ripe now, especially the tender corn that has just grown, which tastes fragrant and sweet.

Although I don’t grow it at home, the villagers do!

Looking at the corn in the field, Zhou Ziwen felt a little greedy.

He planned to exchange some with the villagers when he had some free time, so that he could try it first.

There are many ways to eat corn. It can be boiled, fried, or ground into steamed buns.

Steamed buns made from fresh corn are delicious.

It tastes sweet and delicious, leaving a long aftertaste.

"Aunt Li, your corn is ripe, right? Please save some for me."

When Zhou Ziwen arrived at the threshing ground outside the production team, he found Aunt Li from the village and planned to exchange some food with her.

"What are you exchanging for? I'll break some for you later. It's not something valuable, so there's no need to exchange it."

Aunt Li waved her hand generously.

If it were someone else, she would definitely charge money, but Zhou Ziwen didn't, he relied on facial recognition.

Because of Zhou Ziwen's contribution to Dabazi Village, many people sent him food.

"Okay, I'll trouble you Aunt Li. Don't make too much. I just want to try it."

Zhou Ziwen didn't bother to be polite with her.

For fellow villagers, the best way is to interact with each other.

"Then I'll go back and get it later. You can come and get it later."

Aunt Li said enthusiastically.

Aunt Li and Zhou Ziwen were quite familiar with each other. When Zhou Ziwen first came to Dabazi Village, he often exchanged things with her.

Aunt Li is a kind-hearted person and gave Zhou Ziwen a lot of help.

After a few casual chats, the captain had already started speaking.

During this period, the entire production team was busy building the road, and everyone who could be spared in the village was mobilized.

The team leader spoke a few words, arranged the tasks, and then announced the disbandment.

Zhou Ziwen chatted with the members of the mushroom group all the way to the mushroom planting base.

After taking a look around and taking control of the general direction, the team members started to get busy.

Zhou Ziwen, on the other hand, seemed a little relaxed.

The mushroom cultivation base is on the right track and the team members all know what they should do.

Thinking that he hadn't been to the clinic for a long time, Zhou Ziwen said hello to Chen Shiying and then walked out leisurely.

During this period, there was not much to do in the clinic, only some old patients needed regular checkups.

Like Li Weijun whose heels were cut off.

Mr. Yang who had undergone a thoracotomy.

Zhao Xiaohua, who has been pregnant for a short time.

Li Lei's cousin, Chen Tang and Ran Zhaihong.

In fact, their illnesses have almost been cured, except for Chen Tang and Ran Zhaihong.

However, their illness is a long-term project and will take quite some time.

And sometimes, getting pregnant depends on a bit of luck.

Once their bodies have recovered, if they are lucky they will get pregnant in one go. If they are unlucky, it is hard to say when they will get pregnant.

However, as Zhou Ziwen's medical skills improve, the chances of success will be greater under his treatment.

In the clinic, Zhu Jianguo is fiddling with medicinal herbs.

There are not many patients coming to the clinic, and some of the herbs cannot be used for the time being. They have been kept for a long time and need to be taken out and dried in the sun.

Only when the herbs are kept dry can they retain their full medicinal properties.

If it is not placed properly, not only will the medicinal properties be reduced, but it may also go bad.

However, Zhu Jianguo has done a good job in this regard.

Although his achievements in medical skills are not great, he works diligently and loves to learn, and has become a qualified health worker.

"Jianguo, you're busy! Has anything happened in the clinic recently?"

Zhou Ziwen asked with concern.

"No, there were just a few people with colds and diarrhea. I solved them all according to your instructions."

When he saw Zhou Ziwen, Zhu Jianguo hurriedly put down what he was holding and acted as respectful as a primary school student.

In fact, although Zhou Ziwen and Zhu Jianguo were not master and disciple in name, they were master and disciple in reality.

It can be said that Zhu Jianguo’s success today is thanks to Zhou Ziwen’s selfless teaching.

If Zhou Ziwen had not been generous and had not hidden any medical knowledge from him, he would not have become a qualified health worker so quickly.

If he were to learn on his own, he probably wouldn't even be able to grasp it in a few years.

Moreover, medical skills require experience and accumulation. If no one gives you advice and you rely solely on your own research, you may never make any progress in your lifetime.

This is exactly the dilemma faced by barefoot doctors.

Although there is the magical book "Barefoot Doctor's Manual", many problems we face in reality can be answered in the book.

But sometimes, reading alone is not enough to solve the problem.

If self-study were so easy, everyone would be a doctor.

If someone like Zhu Jianguo, who has no talent, had no one to give him some advice, he would probably be a half-baked barefoot doctor all his life.

But things are different with Zhou Ziwen’s advice.

He now had a way to learn, and his knowledge and medical skills continued to improve.

When the time comes, it will all burst out all at once. Not to mention becoming an outstanding person, but at least you will have no problem becoming a skilled hygienist.

"Tell me?"

Zhou Ziwen became interested.

In the clinic, colds and diarrhea are the most common illnesses, and Zhou Ziwen had already taught Zhu Jianguo several ways to deal with them.

Most of these methods are universal.

As long as you follow the prescription, the therapeutic effect may not be very good, but at least it can solve most problems.

“Here’s what I did…”

Hearing Zhou Ziwen's question, Zhu Jianguo was delighted. He hurried back to his seat, took out his notebook, and repeated everyone's questions.

While explaining the solution, he also raised his own doubts.

Zhou Ziwen answered his questions one by one.

Looking at the way they ask questions and get answers, if someone who doesn’t know the answer, they would think it’s a teacher teaching students!

Of course, there isn't much difference between them.

After answering some of Zhu Jianguo's questions, Zhou Ziwen also learned about the latest situation of the health center.

In fact, up to now, there are not many areas in the clinic where Zhou Ziwen needs to take action.

After all, it is just a small clinic, and Zhu Jianguo can handle simple conditions like colds and diarrhea by himself.

Only when he couldn't handle it would he find Zhou Ziwen and ask him to take action.

In this way, Zhu Jianguo not only gets the opportunity to practice, but also has Zhou Ziwen supporting him. Over time, it will be difficult for him not to grow.

Zhou Ziwen was also very happy about this.

Because this way, his energy will not be focused on the health room.

He also has more time to do his own things.

I stayed in the clinic for a while and made some ointment. It was almost time to get off work.

When the announcement for the end of work sounded, Zhou Ziwen handed the ointment to Zhu Jianguo, then patted his butt and left work.

"Where are we going this afternoon? How about another trip to the deep pool?"

On the way home, Zhou Ziwen was already thinking about where to go to spend the afternoon. (End of this chapter)
