Transmigrated as an Orphan Girl, I Became a Barefoot Doctor in the 60s

[Era + Doctor + Golden Finger + Rural Life + No CP]

Tian Cai transmigrated. The reason was that she saved a girl injured in a multi-car pile-up, then lost consciousness after a fuel tank expl...

Chapter 10 Work Points

After everything was said, Zhang Defa told her about Tian Cai's plan to settle in the village, and then briefly introduced Tian Cai. He also told her about how Bao Cai was bitten by a snake and how she saved him. "The girl is not very old, but she has studied medicine with her master for several years. She can treat minor illnesses. I think that since the death of Doctor Wang in our village, medical care has become a problem in the past two years, so I thought I would ask everyone's opinions."

When the people below heard that a doctor was coming to live in the village, they were very happy. You don't know how bad it is until you get sick. No one dares to get sick in this village without a doctor. Even if they didn't dare, they had gotten sick once or twice in the past two years. They all knew how difficult it was to go to the county or Beishan Brigade for medical treatment, and they all agreed with Tian Cai's arrival.

"The young lady is here, and her medical treatment is free. She has to go up the mountain to collect the herbs herself. We should at least give her some money for the medicine. We all know how dangerous the North Mountain is after living here for so many years. So I want to discuss with you how to calculate the work points for this girl."

As it concerns everyone's vital interests, the production team members sitting below immediately started discussing it. Most people agreed to give more work points. Even if there were some who were unwilling, they did not dare to say a word. No one wanted to offend the doctor and then have to ask him for help if they had a headache or fever in the future.

The group of people kept arguing, but half an hour passed without any result.

"I agree to give full work points!" An old voice came from the corner.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and found that the person speaking was the white-haired Aunt Zhao, and they all fell silent.

Aunt Zhao stood up, holding onto the table beside her, and repeated in a resounding voice, "I agree to give full work points."

Zhang Defa's throat moved, and he nodded at her. It took him a while to find his voice. "I don't need full work points, but what about the others?"

At this moment, everyone thought of the smiling young man from the Zhao family. He was naturally warm-hearted and would always help anyone who had any problems. But he died at a young age just because he was bitten by a snake and there was no medicine.

Aunt Zhao was only in her forties, but her hair turned white overnight.

No one wanted this to happen to themselves, and their attitudes towards Tian and Cai's work points were unprecedentedly consistent, with many people raising their hands in agreement to give more.

So Zhang Defa decided to give five work points on weekdays, and required them to work during spring plowing and autumn harvest. At that time, he would assign them some light work and give them more work points.

For dinner, Tian Cai had beggar's chicken. After being roasted for an entire afternoon, the chicken was mixed with the delicious flavor of mushrooms. It was so delicious that she almost swallowed her tongue.

The pheasant is not big to begin with, and after removing the internal organs, there is less than one pound left in total, so it can be eaten cleanly in one meal.

Tian Cai licked his fingers with satisfaction and thought that he could do two next time.

After finishing her meal and cleaning up, she continued to read. She believed that she still had advantages over the rural doctors at that time. After all, things like cardiopulmonary resuscitation, Heimlich, and artificial respiration, although they were treatment methods that even ordinary people were familiar with in later generations, were still very powerful now.

In the morning, Tian Cai packed several common medicines into his backpack as usual, tied up the pheasant's feet and wings and put them inside, then set off with his lunch and water bottle.

As soon as I arrived at the captain's house, I saw the boy who was poisoned by a snake the day before sitting lazily in the yard basking in the sun.

Zhang Baocai is seventeen years old this year, one year older than Tian Cai in this body. She said that Tian Cai was just a little boy, and she subconsciously thought she was almost thirty.

Tian Cai knocked on the door and asked, "Excuse me, is Captain Zhang home?"

Zhang Baocai looked up when he heard the voice and saw a girl he didn't recognize. Before he could ask who she was, his mother came out of the house and said, "Xiaotian, come in quickly. We knew you wouldn't arrive until noon, so everyone is here waiting for you!"

Then he turned around and sullenly scolded his son, "You didn't even stand up and greet your savior when you saw him. You've really spoiled him and he's become more and more unruly!"

Only then did Zhang Baocai realize that the girl in front of him was the one who saved him. He had lost his sight not long after being bitten by a snake that day, so he had not really noticed what his savior looked like. He did not expect that she was a girl who looked younger than himself.

While he was in a daze, Tian Cai nodded at him, trotted a few steps to catch up with Gao Huijuan, lifted the curtain and entered the house.

There were a few unfamiliar men and women in the main room. They looked quite old and when they saw her they all stood up and smiled.

Gao Huijuan hurriedly smiled and pulled the person over, asking everyone to sit down and introduce them to the others, "This is Comrade Tian Cai I was talking about. Don't look at his young age. My baby was saved by Comrade Xiao Tian. He's a very good doctor. From now on, we can see a doctor right at our doorstep!"

One of the round-faced women chimed in, "That's right. Before, we had to endure even minor illnesses. If we endured them for too long, they would turn into serious ones!"

"It just so happens that my eldest grandson has been coughing a little these days. Doctor Tian, ​​when can you take a look at him?"

"And my husband's legs always hurt at night..."

Seeing Tian Cai was a little confused, Zhang Defa remembered that he hadn't told the girl yet. He quickly told her the results of the vote at the meeting last night. He whispered, "I can't do anything about your household registration for now, but the centimeters have been discussed. On weekdays, you'll be given five centimeters. During the busy spring and autumn seasons, you can work as needed. Then you'll be assigned lighter tasks, so you'll be paid ten centimeters a day. Everyone agrees on this."

When Tian Cai heard that there were work points on weekdays, he immediately smiled. He didn't have a household registration and was not a formal production team member, but he still got so many centimeters. "Isn't this too much?"

"Not much," Gao Huijuan happened to hear this and continued, "From now on, you'll have to go up the mountain to collect the medicine for everyone's treatment. It's very dangerous here in the North Mountain, and you'll be busy with the autumn harvest."

Beishan is what the locals call it. Its full name is Beilu Mountain. It stretches for dozens of miles. There are tigers, black bears, wild boars, and packs of wild wolves in the deep mountains. They only dare to move around on one or two hills on the periphery. Yet, every year we hear about people being attacked by wild beasts.

A girl going to the mountains alone to collect herbs faces more dangers, and not giving her work points would be a bit of a bully.

Tian Cai didn't think the mountain was that dangerous. Not to mention that her own fighting skills were not low, combined with the original owner's strength, the effect of one plus one was greater than two. If she really encountered a wild boar, it would be there to deliver food to her.

Gao Huijuan introduced Tian Cai to several team leaders. The short uncle was Luo Fuli, the leader of group one; the tall and thin one who didn't like to talk was Liu Jinfa, the leader of group two; the round-faced woman was Li Guangxia, the leader of group three; and the one-eyed one was Qu Wenxue, the leader of group four.

Zhang Defa let the few people get to know each other, and when he saw that it was almost time, he sent them to work.

"You will get to know the others after spending some time with them. If you have any difficulties that need to be solved, just tell them directly, Xiaotian." After Zhang De saw that several people had left, he wanted to take Tian Cai to choose a house.

There were originally extra houses in Kaoshan Village, and later several families moved to Qingshan Village, leaving even more empty houses.

Zhang Defa walked towards the village while introducing the approximate locations of several houses to Tian Cai. The houses were nominally rented to Tian Cai, and they would tell others that the team was collecting rent, but in fact they did not collect any money. If they had not said that, those houses would have been occupied long ago.
