Chapter 39: Treating Cattle
Secretary Wu turned around, his face full of surprise, "What...what's going on? How could this happen?"
When Technician Li saw his expression, he couldn't help but feel relieved. The cows were most likely dead. Although it was a pity to die several cows at once, he wouldn't have to take responsibility!
Who says that people from the county can cure cows? People from the county have no experience, okay? What is written in the book and what is actually used are never the same...
If there was no way out this time and he had to come, he wouldn't want to come!
It seems that I have gone all the way from the countryside to the county to seek treatment. How can this be an easily treatable disease? Not to mention that it has been delayed for so long. If my resume is affected by these cows, I will be really unlucky for the rest of my life...
But if the cow had died of illness, it would have nothing to do with him. He could only blame the villagers for reporting it too late...
Technician Li took a step forward while thinking about it, ready to comfort Secretary Wu. Unexpectedly, before he opened his mouth, he saw five cows of all sizes in the cowshed standing in front of the trough eating grass!
Who said that I lay down for several days, had diarrhea and diarrhoea, and didn’t eat anything!
Who said he was so dying that he couldn't even lift his head? Now he's holding it up pretty well!
When these people came in, the cows were startled and several of them looked up at him!
Especially the calf, it mooed at him, and the sound was so affectionate and melodious.
Technician Li's mood was like a roller coaster, up and down so much that he almost had a heart attack.
Su Tong had been looking for Lao Qi since he entered the cowshed. He had been told to show up when he saw someone coming, but there was no sign of him yet.
While everyone was stunned, Su Tong shouted loudly, "Lao Qi! Lao Lin! Are you there?"
“In…in…”
As Su Tong spoke, Lao Qi stood up tremblingly from the corner of the haystack, still holding a wooden fork for picking up straw in his hand, looking embarrassed and unnatural.
Su Tong felt amused. The old man was obedient, but he was probably a little stage frightened. After all, he was not good at acting.
"Lao Qi, what's wrong with this cow? How did it stand up by itself?"
Secretary Wu also reacted at this time. Although he still looked incredulous, his eyes were filled with uncontrollable excitement.
Lao Qi glanced at Su Tong, a little hesitant.
Secretary Wu waved his hand, "Come on! Come over and talk!"
Only then did Lao Qi come over with a hunched back. Several years of criticism and denunciation had left scars in their bones, and they dared not even walk with their backs straight.
After standing in front of the few people, Lao Qi hesitated for a long time, and then answered as if he had made a great decision:
"Last night, Comrade Xiao Wu found fragments of these leaves in the trough. They didn't look like the leaves that cows usually eat. I was worried that the cows would get upset, so I added some heat-clearing and detoxifying herbs to the water they drank and tried to feed them some. And then, that's it!"
"This herb is not poisonous. People can drink it. No, there will be no side effects."
After Lao Qi finished speaking, he quickly added a sentence, staring at the expressions of the few people, afraid that something unnecessary would happen.
What Su Tong told him was that he accidentally discovered that there was something wrong with the leaf fragments in the trough, so he fed the cow some herbal medicine that clears heat and detoxifies, and then the cow got better.
But Lao Qi felt that he could not take all the credit on himself, so he changed it to say that it was Comrade Xiao Wu who first discovered the leaf fragments, and then he fed the medicine.
Su Tong raised his eyebrows after hearing this. This old man... well, I hope it won’t affect the result.
Secretary Wu seemed a little unbelieving. It was like, it was just that easy. The veterinarians in the township and town had run back and forth many times, and it took four or five days in total. Could it be that this old man could just cure it so easily?
But before he could be happy, he changed his mind and became even more worried. Although the cow was cured and the big problem was solved, it was Lao Qi who cured it. He was a stinky old man, and he actually dared to secretly feed medicine to the cow. This was a big taboo!
If the town knew about this, everyone would be in trouble, and the village would also be implicated. Once the struggle meeting started, the village would be in turmoil. The county technicians were standing here, and it was impossible to hide this matter! What should I do...
Su Tong looked at Secretary Wu standing there with his face changing again and again, looking uneasy, so he cleared his throat and whispered to Secretary Wu, "This is a good thing! In any case, the cow will be fine once Technician Li comes!"
Secretary Wu turned around and glared at Su Tong, blinking his eyes again and again. He was not sure if what Su Tong said was what he understood.
Su Tong ignored Secretary Wu who was standing there in a daze, and called out to Technician Li who was standing behind him, "Technician Li, please come and take a look! I don't know if the folk remedy used by this old man is reliable or not. We need professionals like you to check it so that everyone can feel at ease!"
Technician Li reacted immediately. The cow had been sick for so long, and so many veterinarians in the town and village had failed to cure it. How could it be cured by just some herbal medicine from an old man?
This is not a joke!
Now that he is here, we still have to go through the necessary procedures. After all, it is a fact that he is very powerful as soon as he comes. It will be easier for him to report to the leader when he goes back!
He nodded immediately, feeling his energy and spirit return. He took his briefcase, took out a series of professional tools, and started taking the temperature and taking samples in an orderly manner.
Secretary Wu had nothing in mind, so he came over and enthusiastically helped Technician Li. He muttered in his heart that Wu Tong was usually timid, but she became smarter after she made a contribution.
The story of Old Qi curing the cow must not be told, but if it was Technician Li who cured it then everyone would be happy!
Technician Li has the credit for curing the cow, so why would he tell others about Lao Qi's affairs?
I felt relieved and when I looked at Lao Qi again, I felt that he was much more pleasing to the eye!
When these stinking old ninths were sent down to the village, the county leaders personally organized a struggle session. He also knew that these people were once well-known figures in the big cities...
He didn't care where they came from. In short, these people had made mistakes and were here for reform. They had to carry out whatever the organization told them to do. Those who should be criticized should be criticized, and those who should be struggled against should still be struggled against.
I just didn't expect that this old man is so capable. I have helped him this time. I will think of arranging a slightly easier job for him later, as long as I can save his face.
Su Tong was still urging Technician Li, "Technician Li, look, although the cow looks better, it has been lying down for these days and has lost a lot of weight. You must prescribe some medicine to regulate its condition, otherwise how can it do heavy work next year!"
Technician Li's eyes lit up, yes!
I have done a full checkup on the cow and am now prescribing some medicine. I am also participating in the treatment!
Then the credit for curing cattle should at least be counted as a part of it!
He immediately took out several bottles of nutrients, vitamin tablets and other things from the suitcase, and then patted his chest and said:
"I'll report the situation of these cows when I get back and apply for some livestock subsidies from Yunshan Village. There are policies for this special situation!"
When Party Secretary Wu heard this, his face immediately lit up with smiles. The village had always wanted to raise a mule, and if he had the livestock subsidy he could go to the town to get a permit!
Seeing that everyone was in high spirits and in a good mood, Su Tong smiled and shouted to Lao Qi:
"Old Qi! You've worked so hard! If you hadn't reminded Technician Li, he wouldn't have found the cause of the disease so quickly and accurately. Otherwise, we don't know when this cow can be cured! All right! Go back and have a rest!"
When Technician Li heard this, he was like, Wow! This little girl is really...she's just giving him the credit!
Secretary Wu grabbed his hands and shook them vigorously. "Thank you! Thank you, Technician Li! You have helped our village a lot! I will go to the town to make a phone call later. Please thank the Animal Husbandry Station for its help!"
Technician Li was a little confused. He glanced at Old Qi and found that Old Qi readily put down the wooden fork and went back to the house next to the cowshed. He didn't care at all about who got the credit. When he left, he even bowed slightly to him, without any reluctance.
Just when everyone was contentedly packing up and preparing to leave, they heard a loud "boom"...
Then the room next to the cowshed, which was either a house or a shed, collapsed completely.
The collapse was so sudden that everyone was stunned.
Su Tong was the first to react, "Ah! There are two old men in there!"
