Chapter 32 My God, Xia Fanxing is amazing!

Zhao Niu was sent to the regimental hospital.

After this emergency rescue, everyone's attitude towards Xia Fanxing changed completely.

They all told her to stop working and sit down and rest.

Xia Fanxing just smiled and didn't actually rest, but continued to work with everyone.

The more she acted this way, the more people felt she was sincere, kind, hardworking, and down-to-earth, and the better their attitude towards her became.

Su Xiuxiu exclaimed in amazement, "Comrade Xia, how do you have such excellent medical skills? I was almost speechless with shock just now. You are really amazing!"

Xia Fanxing learned her medical skills from the space, but she had already prepared her explanation.

"I used to enjoy reading medical books and I was always going to the hospital. After reading so many books, I learned a lot."

Someone said, "Your medical skills are much better than our company's medic. That guy can't do anything except dispense pills."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Xia Fanxing said that her family background was bad and she couldn't be a sanitation worker, and everyone fell silent.

Someone asked, "The medic stayed in the company and didn't come with us. If we get a minor illness or injury in the future, can you help us get treatment? We can pay you money or a voucher."

Xia Fanxing stopped what she was doing and looked at everyone sincerely. "I am already very grateful that you all accept me and share food and shelter with me. If you believe in my medical skills and are willing to let me treat you, I will help you as much as I can, but it cannot affect my work and rest."

Xia Fanxing is not a saint; even if she is kind, she still has her sharp edges and bottom lines.

Whether it's her willingness to work hard or her immediate efforts to save Zhao Niu, these are all part of her methods.

Her goal was to win over the masses with her strength, thereby obtaining a formal position in the corps, starting as a medic at the bottom and rising through the ranks until she reached a position no less prestigious than Xie Jingchen.

After get off work, everyone goes to the cafeteria for dinner.

The canteen staff received orders to give each worker in the agricultural company a smaller portion of their food, and to allocate the extra rations to a girl named Xia Fanxing.

The employees were chatting inside the window.

"The agricultural team's work is heavy and tiring, and they're being asked to give up their grain supplies. Just wait and see, they'll definitely start complaining later."

"What's the point of complaining to us? We're just following orders from our superiors. If they dare to complain, I dare to yell back. What business is it of mine?"

Therefore, the employees had a strange sense of anticipation for the arrival of the agricultural company's workers.

But when they actually arrived, the cafeteria staff were surprised to find that they didn't react at all to the fact that they were serving less food.

Some employees suspected they hadn't noticed and even spoke up to remind them.

But they still didn't react, not even a single complaint.

"Hey, are these people crazy? They don't even mind having less food? They deserve to stay in the agricultural corps for life!" a canteen worker said disdainfully.

Even with the food rations shared by everyone, when it was Xia Fanxing's turn, she only received a small steamed bun and some vegetable soup.

Su Xiuxiu sat down opposite her with her tray and said deliberately, "Oh dear, I don't think I can finish this. Comrade Xia, can you help me eat it?"

Su Xiuxiu's plate contained half a steamed bun and a tiny bit of meat scraps in the cabbage.

The agricultural corps rarely gets to eat such good food; they only get a little bit of flour and meat when they work at the regimental headquarters.

"I don't--"

"You have to eat it, or you'll be disrespecting me!" Su Xiuxiu shut Xia Fanxing up.

Faced with the little girl's feigned fierce and spoiled expression, Xia Fanxing smiled helplessly and could only accept her kindness.

After finishing our meal, we returned to our accommodation.

The agricultural company was temporarily assigned to work at the regimental headquarters and did not have their own dormitories, so they had to use the auditorium as temporary accommodation.

The auditorium was used normally during the day, but at night the agricultural workers would spread their mattresses and blankets on the floor and huddle together to keep warm and sleep.

As Su Xiuxiu laid out the blankets, she said, "Comrade Xia, you don't have a mattress or quilt, do you? It's okay, we can share a blanket. I'm a very quiet sleeper and won't move around."

Xia Fanxing had a bit of a headache.

According to her plan, she would reunite with Xie Jingchen once she arrived.

I don't expect to be able to live with Xie Jingchen right away, but at least I'll be able to move into a proper dormitory and have my own bed.

At that time, things like bedding won't be a small matter.

If she had known things would turn out this way, she would have brought a suitcase with her no matter what, and wouldn't have had to share a bed with someone else.

Just as Su Xiuxiu finished making the bed, several young female educated youths came together to find Xia Fanxing.

They brought two steamed buns, forced them on Xia Fanxing, and then showed her their hands covered in blisters.

"We're in so much pain we can't work, Comrade Xia, please help us get treatment."

Agricultural workers use many tools, which can easily cause blisters.

The veteran employees have gotten used to it; the blisters will turn into calluses after being rubbed in a lot, and then they won't hurt anymore.

It's normal that the newly arrived educated youth, with their relatively delicate skin, couldn't endure this kind of pain.

Xia Fanxing asked Su Xiuxiu to sterilize the silver needles with a flame, while she went outside to find some moss that had a mild heat-clearing and detoxifying effect to use later.

The silver needle is used to puncture the blood blister horizontally to release blood. After the blood blister collapses, the outer layer remains, keeping the wound intact.

Rinse the wound with water again and apply moss to it.

Before bandaging, Xia Fanxing pressed the Neiguan acupoint on the educated youth's wrist and the Hegu acupoint on the back of his hand, explaining, "These acupoints can unblock meridians and effectively relieve pain. You can press them yourself before going to bed tonight, and you should feel much better tomorrow."

Several young female educated youths nodded repeatedly.

In fact, Xia Fanxing said these words not only to alleviate their actual pain, but also to give them a strong sense of psychological comfort.

Xia Fanxing tore open the strips of cloth and loosely bandaged the wound.

This step is to secure the mossy dressing on the wound, not to tighten it.

Xia Fanxing instructed, "Keep it airy and don't get it wet tonight. Remove this moss before you go to work tomorrow to let the wound breathe. The old skin will naturally stick in and it will cover you a bit while you're working. It will hurt a little at first, but just bear with it and it will pass after a while."

The female educated youth nodded continuously, almost without stopping.

"All done." Xia Fanxing finished bandaging the last person. "If you see red marks again when you get off work tomorrow, come see me again."

"Thank you, Comrade Xia!" the group said in unison, and left happily.

"Thank you, Medical Staff Xia." Su Xiuxiu leaned closer to Xia Fanxing, blinking her eyes. "Thank you, Dr. Xia, thank you, Director Xia, thank you, Dean Xia!"

Xia Fanxing smiled faintly and gently pinched her nose. "Thank you for your kind words."

Xia Fanxing didn't plan to eat the two steamed buns the female educated youth had given her; she wanted to take them to the regimental hospital to give to Zhao Niu and check on his condition.

Su Xiuxiu would go along whenever she had free time.

Unexpectedly, they bumped into Zhao Niu halfway there.

"Brother Da Niu, you're not in the hospital?" Su Xiuxiu asked in surprise.

Zhao Niu smiled honestly, "The doctor said my wound was treated very well and is no longer a problem. I just need to go home and rest. I think the doctor is right. Anyway, I don't feel much pain anymore. I should be fine after a good night's sleep, which will be good enough for me to go to work tomorrow."

"Nonsense." Xia Fanxing frowned slightly, grabbed Zhao Niu's clothes, and started to walk towards the regimental hospital. "I only did emergency treatment. You need to be hospitalized to fully recover."

Zhao Niu refused to leave until he could no longer stay, at which point he finally revealed the truth.
