Yun Huaying took it, glanced through it quickly, and shook her head. "Your mother's gallstones aren't big, only half the size of a soybean. There's no need for surgery. It's harmful to her body and expensive. Have her drink plenty of water, at least four pounds of water a day, and the stones will most likely be expelled from the gallbladder duct. Even if they aren't expelled, she can pay more attention to her diet and eat less tofu and spinach, which are vegetables that are prone to gallstones, and the pain won't occur."
"No surgery is needed." Zhao Qingqing had no doubt about her medical skills and instinctively believed her, smiling happily. "I'll go to the hospital later and tell my parents the good news."
"If you can avoid using a knife, don't use it. I'm afraid of having to cut open the flesh and then sew it back together just thinking about it."
Yuan Cuimei usually had a good relationship with her second sister-in-law and was genuinely concerned about her health. Seeing Yun Huaying still looking at other test results, she asked, "Yun Zhiqing, you said yesterday that my sister-in-law was ill. Do you want to have surgery for the other conditions?"
"No surgery is required. You can take Western medicine in the early stages and Chinese medicine for conditioning later."
The checklists of that era were very simple. Yun Huaying read them over and handed them back to Zhao Qingqing, saying, "Your mother's high blood pressure is hereditary. It was inherited from your grandparents and other maternal grandparents. It's also possible that it was passed down to your siblings. You're young and healthy now, but when you reach middle age, if you experience frequent dizziness, fatigue, and discomfort like your mother, you can go to the hospital to have your blood pressure measured so that you can start taking medication to control it early."
"Oh, oh, okay." Zhao Qingqing was a little confused.
"Yun Zhiqing, is this high blood pressure very serious? We have never heard of this disease before. Are there very few people suffering from it?" The woman who spoke earlier took the initiative to ask. The people in the team only learned about this strange disease from her yesterday.
"Rural people often work, exercise, and eat simply, so they rarely get this disease. Some elderly people in cities, who are less active and prefer a fatty diet, have a higher incidence of hypertension. Aunt Zhao's hypertension is hereditary and relatively rare. With consistent daily medication, it can be controlled."
The other party understood and said to Yuan Cuimei: "That's good, your Zhao family has a medicine jar."
Yuan Cuimei rolled her eyes at her and said, "If you can't speak, just shut up."
The other party chuckled, and seeing that Zhao Xuelin had arrived early, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Captain, hurry up and arrange today's work."
The main task today is to dry the soybeans. The drying space is limited, so everyone works together to spread out the tarpaulin in an open area, and spread out the harvested soybeans in loads, exposing them to the strong sunlight, and then pounding and cleaning them up in the afternoon.
The folk customs of the Dongjiang Brigade are relatively simple. There are a few who are sly at work, but the others are quite diligent and efficient. Although the female comrades are busy talking, their hands are very efficient at work.
After the soybeans were dried, Lin Shan asked loudly, "Captain, can we go now?"
"You are not active in working, but you are very active in running away." Zhao Xuelin rolled his eyes at her.
Lin Shan: "...People who aren't actively running away must be mentally ill."
"Ha ha."
The old educated youth and female comrades nearby all laughed. To prove that they were not mentally ill, they threw away the soybean vines in their hands and scattered.
Only Zhao Xuelin was left standing there.
Lin Shan and the others followed suit. Turning back, she saw the captain grinding his teeth and jokingly said, "Captain, everyone's gone, and you're still standing there basking in the sun. Don't let the sun damage your brain."
Han Zheng had just been debugging a small machine he had assembled in the brigade office. Seeing they were done, he washed his hands and came over: "Huaying, are you leaving now?"
"Okay, let's go."
The three of them hurried back, took a large backpack, put on their hats, and followed him up the mountain.
Han Zheng first led them to the tea garden on the side of the back mountain. He took some time yesterday to come here and adjust the traps, wanting to see if he had caught any good ones last night.
"Han Zheng, is that a pheasant?"
Yun Huaying had sharp eyes and could see a bunch of brightly colored feathers from twenty or thirty meters away.
"It's a pheasant." Han Zheng's eyes were smiling as he strode over with a basket on his back. He picked up the pheasant that had fallen into the trap and twisted it to show the three of them, "This pheasant is pretty good. It weighs over three pounds, heavier than the two pheasants we caught yesterday."
Lin Shan followed closely behind, took a look at the pheasant, then looked down at the trap he had set and asked, "Brother Han, what bait did you use?"
"Rice and corn."
Han Zheng put the pheasant in his backpack, and hurried to check other traps. He soon caught a wild rabbit with gray-black fur.
Seeing how easily he could catch game by setting bait traps in the mountains, Yun Huaying became interested and asked him, "Besides this tea garden, are there any other good places to set traps?"
"You can release them anywhere. There's plenty of game in the mountains, and most of the hunters in the team have set traps there. To prevent injuries, they've tied ropes dyed with maple leaves to the trees next to the traps. I'll take you there to see them later." Han Zheng said as he placed the rabbit in his backpack. Seeing that she had some ideas, he asked her, "Huaying, do you want to release them too?"
"Since the team allows it, I'll give it a try."
The chickens and ducks in the space cannot be taken out and eaten for the time being. If they want to eat meat, they have to go to the county town to buy it. If they can get wild game in the mountains, their living standards will be greatly improved in the future.
She wanted to try, and Han Zheng came forward to support her: "I brought some corn with me. Come with me to the small hill opposite. Pheasants often appear there. I'll teach you how to make traps. Come back in the evening when you have time to come up and take a look."
"good."
The three female comrades were very enthusiastic about this and immediately followed him.
With his guidance and help, the three of them took their small hoes and started working together to set five small traps. They didn't bring any ropes, so they had to find a few bunches of sour and unpalatable red wild fruits in the mountains and hang them as marks.
After finishing, Han Zheng led them deeper into the mountain. "Let's go. I'll take you to pick wax gourds first. You should be able to pick half a basket's worth of wax gourds in the ravine ahead."
Fruits are precious these days, and wild fruits in the mountains are also very popular, especially these fruits with a fresh and sweet taste. The three female comrades all like to eat them. As soon as they arrive at the place, they pick them and eat them to quench their thirst.
"Hanako, this one is ripe."
Han Zheng first climbed up the tree, picked the ripest wax gourd on the top, and then jumped down to give it to her to eat.
"I haven't finished eating yet, you eat it." Yun Huaying didn't take it.
"There are still many on the tree. I'll just pick some more." Han Zheng picked the best one specifically for her and placed it in her hand. He picked up the empty basket beside her and said to the three of them, "You pick the ones on the bottom, and I'll pick the ones on the top. They're all almost ripe, so let's pick them all today."
"Okay." The three nodded.
Han Zheng was agile. He grabbed the tree trunk with one hand and jumped up easily. After two light turns, his tall and strong body stood on the top of the strongest tree trunk.
Yun Huaying just noticed his movements and her eyes moved slightly. His skills were extraordinary, comparable to those of her retired special forces master who taught her in her previous life. It seemed that he had not served in an ordinary army before.
