He Tiantian knew a little about it and actively talked to Dr. Chen.
He Tiantian replied, "I am an educated youth who came from Nanshi, while Xiaoyan is a local. Although we are not blood sisters, we have a very good relationship, even better than blood sisters."
"Really?" Dr. Chen asked Qi Xiaoyan, trying to put her at ease by talking to her.
Qi Xiaoyan smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, Sister Tian is very nice. We are good friends and good sisters."
“The bond between sisters in their youth is the most genuine. You must cherish your friendship now!” Dr. Chen said, as he took Qi Xiaoyan’s arm to feel her pulse and looked at the clock on the wall.
Perhaps it was because Dr. Chen's attitude was so gentle and kind that Qi Xiaoyan stopped being nervous, and her body and mind became very relaxed. This state was perfect for taking her pulse!
Dr. Chen nodded with a smile, picked up his stethoscope, and said, "Come, come, don't be nervous. I just checked your pulse using traditional Chinese medicine, and you seem to be in good health with a strong heartbeat. Now I'll listen to it more carefully with my stethoscope."
"Thank you, Dr. Chen." Qi Xiaoyan was happy and a little excited.
However, this is within Dr. Chen's permitted limits and will not affect the results. On the contrary, a moderate amount of excitement can better reflect changes in the heart.
Dr. Chen listened attentively for a while, then took off his stethoscope and said, "Your heart is very good, there's nothing wrong with it, it's even better than normal!"
This was within He Tiantian's expectations, but beyond Qi Xiaoyan's.
"Doctor, really? Is there really nothing wrong with my heart?" Qi Xiaoyan asked anxiously. Her previous doctors always said that she had an irregular heartbeat, poor heart development, and so on. Moreover, she did feel unwell, often had chest pains, and sometimes even fainted.
Dr. Chen smiled and said, "Yes, very good. I don't know how the previous doctor made his diagnosis, but I can assure you that your heart is fine, and everything else is fine too."
"Don't I need any medicine?" Qi Xiaoyan asked again. Those pills tasted awful. If there was nothing wrong with her, then had she been taking all those medications wrong before?
"No need! Why take medicine if you're not sick!" Doctor Chen said. "All medicines have side effects, so don't take medicine indiscriminately."
He Tiantian also advised, "Yes, why take medicine if you're not sick!"
"Thank you, doctor! Thank you, doctor!" Qi Xiaoyan quickly stood up and bowed in gratitude. It was wonderful; she had regained her health.
"You're welcome!" Doctor Chen said with a smile, assuming that the poor little girl had been misdiagnosed by an incompetent doctor, and thankfully she was alright.
He Tiantian took the opportunity to ask Dr. Chen to prescribe some anti-inflammatory drugs and cold medicine, bought some, and left the hospital with Qi Xiaoyan.
Qi Xiaoyan's eyes were red-rimmed, her hands were clasped together, and she muttered something under her breath.
He Tiantian guessed that it was probably a way of thanking all sorts of deities.
Passing by a photo studio, He Tiantian thought about sending photos to Huo Yingjie, so she dragged Qi Xiaoyan along to take photos.
He Tiantian and Qi Xiaoyan each took a solo photo, followed by a photo of the two of them together. They each printed four solo photos and two couple photos, which cost a total of three yuan. The photos would be ready in ten days. They received a receipt and said they would come back to pick them up when the photos were ready.
"Sister Tian, taking photos is expensive, and you still paid for me." Qi Xiaoyan felt bad. "I have money on me, I'll give it to you."
He Tiantian stopped her and said, "Today is the day you are reborn, so consider it my way of celebrating for you. Study hard in music and singing, and don't forget me when you become famous in the future."
"Sister Tian, you are my best friend in this life," Qi Xiaoyan said solemnly. "I will definitely be fine and live up to your expectations."
"Okay, friends for life." He Tiantian took Qi Xiaoyan's hand and walked towards the recycling station.
Her blood really worked. She needs to be more careful in the future and not let others know, otherwise He Tiantian will be like Tang Sanzang's flesh, everyone wants to eat her!
Upon arriving at the purchasing station, the villagers, led by Secretary Qi, had already weighed the meat. Wild boar meat was 40 cents a pound, but if cleaned properly, it could sell for 50 cents a pound. Secretary Qi knew the situation, but if that were the case, the purchasing station wouldn't make any money, and they would raise many questions. As for rabbit and pheasant, cleaned rabbit meat was 30 cents a pound.
Three wild boars weighed 730 jin (approximately 315 kg), and at 4 mao (0.4 yuan) per jin, they sold for 292 yuan.
Thirty-eight rabbits, weighing a total of 193 jin (approximately 69.5 kg), were sold for 57 yuan at 3 mao (0.3 yuan) per jin.
Twenty-five pheasants, weighing a total of eighty-eight jin, were sold for 3 mao per jin, totaling 26.4 yuan.
The total for the three items was 375.4 yuan.
According to the commune's regulations, individuals who hunted animals could receive one-fifth of the total sales revenue. Zuo Li and Xiang Rong would each receive seventy-five yuan. The commune didn't specify that this money couldn't be given to those who had been sent down to the countryside, so it meant it could be given. Secretary Qi wouldn't embezzle Zuo Li and Xiang Rong's money.
They need this money to buy more daily necessities.
Furthermore, if they pocket this money, these people will never tell the village if they get anything good in the future.
Secretary Qi carefully packed the money and took the receipt issued by the purchasing station.
The station manager, who acted like a close friend to Secretary Qi, said enthusiastically, "Secretary Qi, everything delivered today is of good quality. Send us anything you need in the future, and we guarantee you a high price."
With the Lunar New Year just around the corner, there's a shortage of various supplies, and the targets set by higher authorities haven't been met. This year's New Year won't be easy for anyone.
These things are all wild; as long as you're not afraid of danger, you can hunt them in the mountains. If these meats could be delivered regularly, the pressure on him would be less.
Secretary Qi chuckled and said, "We'd love to come and sell meat every day, but hunting isn't like farming; it's dangerous and involves taking risks. But, Station Chief Guo, since you think so highly of our village, I'll definitely bring it over to sell as soon as I have anything to sell."
Secretary Qi took advantage of the fact that rural people appear honest but are shrewd at heart, and managed to get along well in various departments in the county town, knowing quite a few people!
Upon hearing this, Station Chief Guo was overjoyed and said, "Secretary Qi is so generous, I can't be ungrateful. If you want to buy anything in the future, just tell me. I have connections in the county town. Even if there are no tickets, I can still get them. As long as you pay, I can buy it for you."
Station Chief Guo really went to great lengths to get more resources.
Secretary Qi was overjoyed. Rural people could receive some money throughout the year, but they couldn't buy things because they didn't have coupons or connections.
Cloth coupons, salt coupons, and some industrial coupons were very rare in rural areas.
If we have connections with Station Master Guo, things will be much easier in the future.
Besides, if they don't sell these things to the purchasing stations, they wouldn't dare sell them on the black market! (To be continued.)
