After lunch, Bai Ying took some time to go back home.
These days, my eldest brother has been busy building a house. He goes out early and comes back late every day. Even my eldest sister-in-law has been going to the new house to keep an eye on it.
In addition, the food allowance was just distributed the day before yesterday, and a stove was set up in the new house. These days, even my eldest brother and his friends have been eating at the new house, and they only come back to sleep every night.
My second brother hasn't come back for several days.
My third brother lived in the dormitory of the county factory again.
Now that she is married, the house is inevitably a little quiet for a while.
It was noon, and Chu Xianglan was busy cooking in the kitchen. After finishing the meal, she went to the field to bring food to Bai Maozhong.
"Mom, where is Sister Qiaolan?"
As soon as he entered the room, Bai Ying did not see Bai Qiaolan, so he asked about Chu Xianglan.
"Qiaolan finished her work a long time ago and went home. You know your grandma was unhappy about Qiao Xiaoling's matter and pushed all the housework onto Qiaolan."
As she spoke, Chu Xianglan's face still looked a little bad, and she looked listless.
Bai Ying noticed this and knew that her mother was in a bad mood because her second brother hadn't been home for a few days, so she asked, "Second brother, haven't you received the letter yet?"
Chu Xianglan shook her head. Although she was worried about Bai Mo in her heart, she still said stubbornly, "Don't worry about him. If he doesn't want to come back, just let him die outside!"
Bai Ying knew that her mother was saying one thing and thinking another. In order to reassure her mother, she planned to go to the county town after finishing the things at hand to see if she could find her second brother.
Having said that, my second brother is really something. He's already grown up and still makes my parents worry so much...
When I returned to the room, the sewing machine had been used up and covered with floral cloth to keep out the dust.
The altered vest was placed on the bed. Bai Ying picked it up and took a look, and found that Sister Qiaolan had moved the buttons that were originally installed on the back to the front according to her request.
The back has been re-sewn, and there is no trace of any secondary modification. I admire Bai Qiaolan very much.
Bai Ying tried the vest on and after the buttons were put on the front, she could button it up by herself without any help from others.
However, the buttons are still a bit troublesome. It can be improved by installing a zipper on the front to make it easier to put on and take off.
The only trouble is, where to buy the zipper?
Bai Ying scratched the tip of her nose, thinking that she really needed to go to the county town as soon as possible.
After putting away the vest that Sister Qiaolan had altered, Bai Ying said something to Chu Xianglan, then left the house and went to the brigade clinic to be on duty.
In the afternoon, a patient with fever came to the health center.
Bai Ying had just finished giving the patient an injection when a familiar figure appeared at the door.
The man who came was quite big and immediately blocked the sunlight from outside that was shining into the house.
It was not someone else, but Zhou Li, whom Bai Ying was still talking about in the morning!
Zhou Li walked in on her own and sat across from Bai Ying, looking very familiar. "Bai Ying, the village party secretary said you wanted me to come over and help?"
"Well," Bai Ying nodded with a smile, "Are you willing?"
To be honest, she still likes Zhou Li's straightforward personality. It is too troublesome to communicate with people who are roundabout. It is easier to get along with people with a free and easy personality.
"Of course I do! Why not?"
Zhou Li was almost crazy with joy. "I don't have to go to the fields every day, and my work points are still calculated. I just need to stay in the clinic and slack off. What kind of a magical job is this?"
"Ahem," Bai Ying coughed lightly and corrected herself, "It's impossible to slack off. If you don't work seriously, I won't employ you even if we have a real relationship."
"ah?"
Hearing this, Zhou Li was completely dumbfounded. She grabbed Bai Ying's arm and begged, "No! I, I'm not trying to be lazy, it's just that I don't know how to treat a disease, and I can't just blindly treat it!"
"It's okay. You can learn slowly if you don't know how to do it." Bai Ying patted the back of Zhou Li's hand and showed a sly smile. "I believe in you. Even if you can't learn it in a day or two, you will learn it in a year or six months. Don't worry, I will supervise you every day and will never let you waste your time."
Zhou Li: “…”
I suddenly feel that it is better to go to the fields to work. What's going on?
Bai Ying smiled faintly and said nothing.
Since it was agreed that after she left, the job of barefoot doctor in the brigade would be given to Zhou Li, Zhou Li had to be trained in advance to prevent her from knowing nothing and harming the villagers in the future.
Starting from today, she will teach Zhou Li medical skills every day. Even if she is the dumbest, she will be able to diagnose some basic diseases in half a year.
"Come on, memorize the names, uses, dietary restrictions, and side effects of these foreign pills. I'll check your memorization tomorrow morning. If I find you can't memorize them, I'm sorry..."
Bai Ying took out the notes she had organized long ago and forced them into Zhou Li's hands.
Zhou Li felt a headache when she looked down at the dense handwriting on her notebook. She swallowed her saliva and said in fear, "What will happen to you if I can't memorize it?"
Bai Ying smiled gently and amiably, "It won't be a big deal! After all, I'm a civilized person and I wouldn't do anything like corporal punishment. I'll just not take you to the cafeteria for lunch, and then tell the Party Secretary to deduct all your work points."
Zhou Li: “…”
How can you call this incompetence?
This is clearly an attempt to starve her to death!
Upon hearing that the consequences were so serious, Zhou Li no longer dared to take any chances and quickly gritted her teeth and recited the contents of her notes.
In the afternoon, Bai Ying received several more patients.
Seeing that Zhou Li had almost memorized most of the medicines, she randomly asked her to recite a few medicines. Unexpectedly, Zhou Li actually memorized them!
Although there were some bumps and bruises, nothing went wrong.
Bai Ying was quite satisfied.
She discovered that Zhou Li was not stupid, but she only used her intelligence on eating. As long as she used food to lure Zhou Li, her potential could be fully developed.
In that case, can we teach Zhou Li a few more things?
Bai Ying touched her chin, wondering whether she should take the college entrance examination. At the same time, she also urged Zhou Li to take the college entrance examination as well.
Fortunately, Zhou Li didn't know Bai Ying's plan, otherwise she would have wanted to die on the spot.
She was not good at studying, and Bai Ying poured knowledge into her head like a cramming machine. If she wanted to understand these things, she had to put in 200% effort.
Even the donkey in the production team wasn’t as tired as she was!
"Okay, you've completed today's mission." Bai Ying looked down at the time on her watch. It was almost time to get off work. "You can go back to the educated youth camp and rest."
"Great, I'm finally free!"
Zhou Li was so moved that she almost cried. Afraid that Bai Ying would ask her to memorize more knowledge, she hurriedly got up and slipped out of the clinic.
but……
Zhou Li just left the clinic and came back again.
Bai Ying raised an eyebrow and looked at Zhou Li, who seemed to be hesitant to speak. "What? Are you addicted to studying and can't bear to leave?"
“No, no!”
Zhou Li said stubbornly, "I just suddenly remembered something unusual. Didn't you ask me to keep an eye on your sister-in-law? When I came here at noon, I happened to see some strangers going to your brother and sister-in-law's new home."
