Upon hearing that someone was in trouble, Jiang Xi immediately turned around, asked his third sister to get off the car, and rode towards Jiang Daniu who was talking.
The person who got into trouble was the original owner's great-aunt. In the original owner's memory, she was a gentle and kind old woman. Even though there was a layer of separation between them, she would always send some food to the original owner whenever she had it.
So this time Jiang Xi also sent two meat buns and two steamed buns.
Unexpectedly, something happened when I turned around.
Jiang Xi stopped at about the right time and wanted to give up her bicycle, but as a doctor, she still asked, "Uncle, what happened to Second Grandma?"
Jiang Daniu said with a dark face, "She was mad at her son. She wanted to send meat buns to her youngest sister, but Jiang Shui wouldn't let her. She said that her youngest sister was a married lady, and even if she married an educated youth, she couldn't be supported anymore. Your second grandmother was so angry that she kept scolding him. While scolding him, she suddenly collapsed. That nagging woman was crying at home because she got into trouble. I happened to pass by and carried her out."
He looked at the person who followed him and said, "Go find a rope and tie her to me, otherwise she will fall."
Jiang Xi's eyebrows jumped. He didn't expect that it was because of him who sent the meat bun. He was very angry. Is it that serious? A meat bun!
She then helped to put the second grandmother down, but saw that the second grandmother did not respond to this series of actions. She immediately felt her pulse with one hand and checked her breathing with the other.
Jiang Daniu seemed to have noticed something, and put two fingers under her nose. The next moment he exclaimed, "She's not breathing!"
Jiang Xi's eyebrows twitched, she stopped breathing and her pulse stopped. She said in a deep voice: "Uncle, lay her down, she needs emergency treatment."
At this moment, Jiang Daniu thought that he didn't need to go to the clinic for treatment. A look of sadness appeared on his face. He didn't react for a while after hearing Jiang Xi's words, but his hands subconsciously did as she said because of her tone.
Then I saw the little girl put her hands on the old man’s chest, kneeling on the ground and pressing again and again. Pressing was not enough, after a few times she lifted the old man’s chin and kissed him?
"What are you doing? Your second grandmother is dead!" Jiang Daniu was shocked and pushed her. How could this girl be so bold that she dared to offend a dead person? !
Jiang Xi didn't have enough strength, so he could only push past her with the heavy pressure. He didn't move even when he was pushed, and he didn't even raise his head. He said, "She's not really dead yet, maybe she can be saved. I'm doing CPR, which is a medical emergency."
Jiang Daniu hesitated and did not move. He wanted to believe it, but he did not dare to believe it.
But he did not scold her anymore, just stared at her actions with his sharp eyes.
CPR is very strenuous. The weather is still quite hot, and Jiang Xi was sweating all over in a short while. But she didn't dare to stop. Her hands were so sore. After just over fifty, her hands became limp. She looked at Jiang Daniu for help: "Uncle, come on, learn from me just now, be fast and use more force!"
It would be useless if the speed and strength are not enough. Jiang Xi was unable to do it and could only try his best.
Jiang Daniu was suddenly entrusted with an important task, and he instinctively waved his hands: "No, no..."
"You can do it! Human life is at stake. If you try hard, there's hope of saving him!" Jiang Xi pulled him forcefully, forced him into position, and urged him, "Hurry up, use more force!"
Jiang Daniu was confused by her and instinctively used force.
He has been doing farm work for many years and is very strong. This time, his strength is just right and his speed is also increased. Jiang Xi did not expect that he could do so well. He breathed a sigh of relief, lifted the back of Grandma Chunrong's neck, and timed her artificial respiration.
Suddenly a roar rang out: "What are you doing?!"
Then a man with red eyes ran over, kicked Jiang Daniu away, grabbed his collar and angrily cursed: "Are you fucking crazy? My mother is in such a state, what are you doing?!"
Jiang Daniu was beaten back to his senses and realized what he had done. His face flushed. "No, I was rescuing him. It was Xiaoxi who told me to give him first aid..."
"What the hell is saving her! How did my mother offend you? You are bullying her like this, do you think this is saving her? My mother's chest is almost collapsed, you are taking revenge!" The man didn't listen at all and just yelled.
Until suddenly a hoarse and difficult cough came from behind.
He suddenly froze and came back to his senses.
I saw my mother, who was unconscious just now, now had a pale face, covered her chest and coughed. Her eyes were open and she was no longer lifeless as before.
"mother?"
The man exclaimed in surprise, his eyes widened in disbelief: "Mom, are you okay?"
Jiang Xi supported the second grandmother and said in a deep voice, "Something happened. She was unconscious and her heart and breathing stopped. She has been revived, but her ribs must be broken. She needs to be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. If you really care about your mother so much, give her the money and send her to the hospital!"
The man froze suddenly, hesitating and refusing to say anything.
Broken ribs are no joke, they are bones that grow in the chest, unlike arms and legs. I don’t know how much it will cost to go to the hospital for treatment.
He didn't dare to answer.
Jiang Daniu was furious and said, "Jiang Shui, you have no conscience! You were yelling so loudly just now, and I thought you were so filial. You made your mother so angry that she almost died, and now you finally saved her, and you are still reluctant to give her a little money?"
The second grandmother, who had just come back to life and still had tears in her eyes, suddenly felt her eyes darken and tears started to flow down. She shook her head in disappointment and managed to utter a few words: "No, I won't save him..."
Jiang Shui's eyes turned red with shame, but he said nothing.
Jiang Xi felt powerless for a moment, and said directly: "Uncle, let's send him to the hospital. I'll pay for it."
If it were someone else, she couldn't do anything about it. There were so many miserable people in this world, but she couldn't stand by and watch someone die who had done a favor to the original owner. But just as she finished her words, she heard a female voice shouting, "I'll pay, big sister, you don't have to worry."
Jiang Xi looked over quickly and saw Chunrong's daughter Jiang Yaomei running over with an extremely ugly look on her face. When she passed by Jiang Shui, she kicked him viciously.
The person who was kicked was surprisingly honest.
2| Grandma trembled, and a glimmer of light finally appeared in her eyes.
The person who went to look for the rope also brought it over. Jiang Yaomei helped to tie the rope while cursing: "Jiang Shui, you've been a coward all your life! You only know how to ask mother for food, isn't it just two buns? It's like you haven't eaten in your life, and you have to make such a fuss. If you dare to ask mother for anything again in the future, I will kill you!"
Jiang Xi felt relieved when she saw her. She took out five yuan and stuffed it into the pocket of her youngest sister who was in a hurry to escort her second grandmother away.
Jiang Yaomei married an educated youth. Their work points were not as high as those of rural men, so their life was relatively tight and she was afraid that they would have difficulties. Moreover, this incident was caused by the meat buns she sent, so she should take some responsibility.
Jiang Yaomei held the money in her hand, her eyes reddened, and she choked up and said, "Thank you, sister. I'll remember this."
She ran quickly after Jiang Daniu's bicycle.
Jiang Xi watched her leave, and when she turned around to look at Jiang Shui's horrified expression, she got angry again. She deliberately said loudly, "Uncle, you probably don't know that even if it's your own mother, you will go to jail if you make her angry to death. Although it is said that officials will not investigate if the people don't report, as long as Auntie Xiaomei tells the police, you can expect to go to jail."
Jiang Yaomei, who was about to leave, gave him a cold glance.
Jiang Shui's face changed and he looked over in panic: "Big sister, you are talking nonsense!"
Jiang Xi gave him a fake smile: "How about we go to the police station for consultation?"
Jiang Shui inhaled: "!!!"
After scaring Jiang Shui, Jiang Xi took his two sisters back.
The bicycle was taken away by Jiang Daniu, so they walked back.
She was in a bad mood and had a stern face all the way. Her second and third sisters didn't dare to say much either. They walked unexpectedly fast. It was not until they arrived at Pei's house that she felt tired.
Pei's mother stayed at home to take care of Pei Hejun. When she saw her come back, she immediately offered her some sweet soup: "Take a rest, take a rest."
Jiang Xi drank it in big gulps, and went back to the room to explain to Pei's mother: "My second grandmother was angry with her son and fell ill. She lent them her bicycle to go to the hospital and never brought it back."
"I know. We don't need it in a hurry. Is your second grandmother seriously ill?" Mother Pei asked concernedly.
Jiang Xi told her the situation: "It's very serious. I can only give him emergency treatment and send him to the hospital. I think it's heart-related, but I don't know the exact situation yet."
Mother Pei sighed: "This old man really can't get sick. Once he gets sick, it's a serious illness. Not only will he suffer, but he will also lose money. Your uncle is also unfilial. Fortunately, your aunt married someone in the village, otherwise I guess this man would be gone."
She thought of herself.
She didn't know whether her third son was alive or dead. If she and her husband really got seriously ill, the two older sons would definitely not seek treatment. Of course, she herself would not be willing to seek treatment. She would drain her sons' money and would only get complaints from them.
It just so happens that she doesn't have a daughter to help her.
Jiang Xi also sighed. In this era, even in later generations, it was actually almost the same. It was difficult for ordinary people to see a doctor.
They both sighed together.
Mother Pei suddenly smiled: "Okay, come back, then I'll go to work."
Jiang Xi also smiled. After Pei's mother went out, she was so tired that she simply went to the bed and lay side by side with Pei Hejun. She took Pei Hejun's hand and looked at which daily tasks she could complete today.
Just as I could see the system screen clearly, the door creaked.
Jiang Xi looked over warily, and saw Pei's mother hurriedly leaving the room and closing the door, pretending nothing had happened, and then asked seriously: "Hey, Xiaoxi, can I come in? I forgot to take away the third child's dirty clothes."
Jiang Xi lowered her eyes, looked at the man's hand that she was holding, and fell into silence.
So Pei's mother just saw it, right?
I definitely saw it!
Her face turned red with embarrassment, and she quickly let go, letting the hand slap on the bed, and coughed lightly: "Come in."
Mother Pei came in with a smile on her face, and left with a smile on her face, as if she was avoiding suspicion the whole time, and she never even looked at Jiang Xi. However, the more she did this, the more embarrassed she felt.
Pei's mother naturally knew this too and acted very quickly.
Soon she went out and the door was closed again. Not long after, Jiang Xi clearly heard someone outside saying, "Guizhi, did you make some money? Why are you smiling like that?"
"Go away, keep your voice down, my daughter-in-law is sleeping." Pei's mother cursed with a smile.
The noise outside gradually faded.
Jiang Xi took a deep breath, trying to calm the embarrassment in her heart, but to no avail. She collapsed on the bed and rolled over twice, finally crawling on the bed powerlessly.
After several seconds, she turned her head and took Pei Hejun's hand again.
As he touched it and was about to continue looking at the system panel, Jiang Xi caught a sight of a pair of wide-open eyes.
"Awake?" Jiang Xi suddenly sat up from his knees and stared at Pei Hejun's face.
I saw that the pair of eyes that were originally tightly closed on that thin and tough face had opened at some point, and it was as if the muscles of the eyes were pulled, becoming much larger than normal, and they stared straight at the ceiling.
The system was excited: [Ahhh! The host is awake! Host's wife, your husband is awake! ]
Jiang Xi was amused, but she couldn't be as naive as the system. How could a vegetative person wake up so easily? She tried to rub his facial features. When her hand touched him, Pei Hejun's eyes did not reflexively close and avoid, as if he was a stiff doll.
She closed his eyes and lay back down in frustration: "No, he is still unconscious."
System: […Okay]
Jiang Xi lay down, and the system still cooperated to turn the screen so that she could see more comfortably, and happily typed to her: [Host wife, you have completed another emergency mission today! ]
Jiang Xi took a look and saw that it was exactly the task assigned by her second grandmother, with the words "Completed" written on the back.
That means her second grandmother should be out of danger by now.
Jiang Xi felt much more relieved and looked at the balance. He had earned 20 points from the Second Grandma mission. Adding the little he earned from visiting the doctor in the past few days, he already had 68 points, which was enough to buy a lot of things.
She herself didn't want to buy anything. In this day and age, you can't just take out the things you bought. Although there aren't so many things going on in the countryside, what if something unexpected happens?
But Jiang Xi still opened the mall to take a look. She didn't have any, but she could still buy some rare or very expensive medicinal herbs in reality to help Pei Hejun heal his body.
His condition seems to be getting better now. Even if he is closing his eyes unconsciously, it is better than just sleeping. If he takes some medicine, maybe he can really wake up.
As he looked around, Jiang Xi actually found quite a few suitable medicinal herbs.
It is expensive.
The cheapest one costs 120 points.
I have to hurry up and complete my mission, but what mission should I complete? How about taking the initiative to try to cure my illness?
Jiang Xi checked the task list again, and suddenly it refreshed and there was an additional task: [Treat people with sprained waist, task reward: 5 points]
Did you just sprain it?
Jiang Xi immediately perked up, said something to Pei's mother, and walked out.
The place where the villagers of the Sixth Brigade go to work
Mid-May is the time for rice planting. A group of people are responsible for pulling up the grown rice seedlings, tying them into bundles and piling them up. Then there are special people who carry them and send them to the rice fields.
There are also people waiting to plant rice seedlings in the rice fields.
As the captain of the Sixth Brigade, Pei Shengcai had arranged everything and was urging everyone to work with satisfaction: "Work hard today. Those who do well will get 12 work points each, and those who do not do well will have their work points deducted! No one is allowed to slack off!"
The vast majority of villagers are honest and work very hard in order to get a bigger share at the end of the year.
But there are always some people who try to be lazy.
For example, some educated youth.
He usually looks like a decent person, but when it comes to working, he works very slowly. While others carry rice seedlings and walk a long way, he only takes a break after every three steps, and he doesn't even break a sweat.
Pei Shengcai slowly patrolled around to see if there was a vacancy to help out. He was so tired that he drank a large bottle of water in one breath. Just as he was about to go back, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a slow-moving figure, and he immediately became angry.
He approached with a loud speaker and shouted, "Hu Yi, if you continue like this, you won't get any work points today!"
Hu Yi, who was criticized by name, smiled awkwardly: "Captain, I am not being lazy on purpose. Look at the rice seedlings, they are all covered with wet mud. It is too heavy. I really can't do it. I haven't eaten enough recently."
Pei Shengcai sneered: "How is it heavy? Look at others, they are one third more than you, how dare you say that?"
Hu Yi was accused like this, and his face was not happy: "How about Pei Shengcai, you come? Let me learn?"
Pei Shengcai sneered: "Okay, I'll show you."
He took the burden from Hu Yi's shoulders, lifted it up easily, and shook it deliberately, mocking him: "You've been here for a year, but you're still so useless. You're not even as good as a 50-year-old like me. How can you still want a place in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University?"
He didn't dislike the educated youth, he just disliked the man in front of him.
He is the best lazy person, but we can't let him starve to death, we have to lend him food. The key is that when he is full, he hooks up with the girls in the village. He has a bad reputation in private and is disgusting.
His undisguised disgust made Hu Yi look extremely embarrassed: "Captain, there is no need to say that. After all, I am an educated youth from the city and have never done these things since I was a child."
Pei Shengcai was in charge of hundreds of people, so he said, "If you don't want me to tell you, then just try harder. Hurry up and catch up. I'll show you!"
As he spoke, he strode towards the paddy field.
Naturally, he did not notice the gloomy look on Hu Yi's face behind him because of his blunt sarcasm.
Especially since the scene just now was seen by many people who came over to pick rice seedlings, each of them looked at him with mockery in their eyes.
Hu Yi did not dare to refute just because he was taught a lesson by Pei Shengcai. Pei Shengcai was the local boss in this area and he could not afford to offend him, so he could only grit his teeth and continue to follow.
Suddenly, a clod of earth hit him under his feet.
Hu Yi's heart moved, evil intentions arose, and he kicked forward suddenly.
The clod of earth rolled forward quickly and landed right under the feet of Pei Shengcai, who was two steps ahead of him. Pei Shengcai strode forward and was caught off guard. He stepped on it and the clod of earth caused him to slip.
The ridge of the field was not wide to begin with, just wide enough for one person to walk on. But it became so slippery that he was about to fall into the field. Pei Shengcai instinctively struggled, but he had such a heavy load on his shoulders, and when he struggled, his waist cracked.
"Flop!" Pei Shengcai felt a pain in his waist and lost his balance, falling to the ground. He was covered in mud and water, looking extremely desperate.
The villagers nearby heard the noise and looked over. They immediately burst into laughter: "What's going on? What good stuff is there in the ground?"
"Could it be that you have been busy for too long at night?"
Hu Yi was shocked to find that such a result could be caused by a casual kick. However, when he saw this scene, he smiled triumphantly again: "Captain, you should take a rest. I have already said this - ah!"
Before he could finish his words, he felt a pain on his face.
Pei Shengcai, who had just climbed out of the mud, punched him in the face, knocked him down, pointed at his nose and cursed: "Do you really think I didn't see that the clod of earth was kicked over by you? You useless thing, I can still beat you even if my waist is sprained!"
Hu Yi's face turned pale, his struggling movements froze, and he said in a panic, "I didn't mean it."
Pei Shengcai pouted, covered his waist and stood up, saying with a dark face: "You dare not admit it, you are even more of a coward."
After saying this, he lifted up his legs that were rooted in the paddy field, stepped over Hu Yi, and limped away, while giving a cursing explanation to the villagers who were laughing at him, so as not to lower the heroic image of the captain in their hearts.
However, he still cursed his mother in his heart.
There isn't even a barefoot doctor in the brigade. His back isn't good enough for him to ride a bike, so he'll have to walk to the town to see a doctor. He'll remember that kid Hu Yi. If he can let him slack off in the future, he won't be named Pei!
Pei Shengcai was filled with anger. Just as he reached the entrance of the village and wanted to go back to get some money, he heard someone calling him.
Pei Shengcai looked in the direction of the sound and saw the newly married young wife of the Pei family walking towards him. He wondered, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with He Jun?"
"No," Jiang Xi showed a friendly smile: "Captain, your waist is sprained, right? I know some medical skills, how about I take a look at it for you?"
Pei Shengcai's eyes lit up. Yes, he had forgotten that this girl was said to be very powerful. In the past two days, many people in the village have been going to Pei's house to see her for medical treatment.
No need to walk to the town with great pain!
Realizing this, Pei Shengcai slapped his thigh in excitement. His dark face wrinkled in pain. He quickly covered his waist, which made it even more painful. He almost jumped up and down: "Ouch! It hurts so much. I almost forgot about you, girl. Come on, come on, let me see..."
The two sides happily reached a consensus, and Jiang Xi was very happy. But seeing Pei Shengcai like this, he laughed out loud and quickly instructed: "Don't move, take your hand away, otherwise it will get worse."
Pei Shengcai let go of his hand obediently. Jiang Xi went to take a look. Usually, the men in the village worked with bare chests, and their skin was tanned dark, but there was no sign of redness or swelling.
She just touched it and pressed a spot that was hotter than other places: "Does it hurt here?"
"Yes!" Pei Shengcai nodded immediately.
After determining the range, Jiang Xi took action decisively and pressed down hard to smooth out the tense muscle.
But Pei Shengcai cried out in pain: "Ouch, be gentle!"
"She looks like a little girl, how could she be so cruel?"
Jiang Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she didn't stop pressing. After pressing a circle, she said, "Move again, is it better?"
Pei Sheng was stunned for a moment. After the pain in his waist eased a little, he took two tentative steps. Although he still couldn't straighten his back, it was much better than the pain he felt just now when he moved.
He wiped his sweat and said admiringly: "You are a really good girl. The third brother has found a treasure."
Jiang Xi pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "Your condition is a bit serious, you need to apply some plaster. It just so happens that I went to the town to buy some plaster two days ago. I'll get some for you and apply a hot compress. How about that?"
"Okay!" Pei Shengcai agreed immediately.
Jiang Xi took him back, and Pei's mother helped to boil some towels for hot compress. She took out the plaster she had bought earlier and handed it over to him, and after the hot compress was over, she applied it to him.
After this series of operations, Pei Shengcai felt comfortable: "Sister Guizhi, your daughter-in-law is really good, you made a good choice."
Mother Pei was quite proud: "Of course."
Jiang Xi smiled shyly.
Pei Shengcai was busy with his own things, so he didn't stay for long: "Okay, Uncle will take the medicine. I'll ask my Yan Zi to come over and give me the money later."
Yan Zi is his granddaughter.
Pei's mother agreed immediately and gave him a few instructions with a smile. She had learned a few words of medical advice from helping Jiang Xi see patients in the past two days.
Pei Shengcai readily agreed, and left with his back straightened up a lot, but he was not as flexible as before the sprain.
But compared to the beginning, it's like heaven and earth.
The key point is that after all the work, the fee is cheap, which is really worth it.
However, as soon as Pei Sheng returned home, he saw his daughter-in-law Cheng Yuezhi hurriedly returning from the fields.
Cheng Yuezhi had prepared her bicycle, and was holding a handkerchief wrapped in money in her hand. She was waiting angrily with her hands on her hips. When she saw him, she shouted at him, "Pei Shengcai! Where have you been? I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Pei Sheng was about to answer when Cheng Yuezhi asked again in confusion, "Didn't everyone just say that you sprained your waist? I was so disappointed that I didn't even want my work points and rushed back in a hurry."
Pei Shengcai subconsciously touched his waist, and quickly turned his back to her to show her the plaster on his back, and said with a smile: "Originally I was going to go to the town by myself, but I met He Jun's wife on the way. She pressed my back twice, and wow, it really didn't hurt anymore. I asked her for two plasters, and now I'm fine."
Cheng Yuezhi widened her eyes and looked over curiously, but she didn't see anything special. She muttered, "Are you really twisted or just pretending?"
As she said that, she patted it directly.
"Pa pa——" Two crisp sounds were heard.
Pei Shengcai immediately cried out, covered his waist and dodged, cold sweat broke out instantly: "I said, wife, please be gentle, I really twisted my waist, that girl just massaged it for me, don't hurt it again."
"I didn't hit him too hard," Cheng Yuezhi said unhappily. But when she saw her husband screaming in pain and then standing up again, not looking like he had twisted his waist, she was surprised: "Oh my god, this girl is really good! I was praised by everyone in the village."
"Isn't it?" Pei Shengcai nodded in agreement, strode into the house, poured himself a glass of water, and sighed: "The Pei Zhong family is really lucky to marry such a daughter-in-law. With her ability, she can be a doctor in a hospital in the city."
Being a doctor in a hospital is respectable.
Unfortunately, neither the Jiang family nor the Pei family has the ability to send her in.
Cheng Yuezhi followed in, and her worries about the head of the family were gone. She smiled and said, "If you can't be a doctor in the hospital, can't you be a doctor in our brigade?"
Pei Shengcai's hand holding the tea froze, and he looked at his wife with sharp eyes: "Wife, what did you just say?"
Cheng Yuezhi was startled by his expression: "What did I say?"
"Become a doctor in the brigade?!" Pei Shengcai reminded her anxiously: "Why do you think so?"
Cheng Yuezhi was surprised and said, "Because there is no doctor in our brigade, we have to go to the town every time we want to see a doctor. It's so expensive. How can we bear to go there for a minor illness? Our family has some financial resources but we can't afford this. Other people in the village are even more so. If she were the doctor in our brigade, wouldn't it be easy to see a doctor? Speaking of which, I have a break in two days, and I have to go see that girl. My stomach always hurts for no reason..."
She was not the team leader and her thoughts were not complicated. She just said whatever she thought. There was a doctor in the team who was very nice to her. It was that simple.
Pei Shengcai, who was just excited, said nothing after listening to it.
When Cheng Yuezhi looked at him again, he was already in deep thought.
Cheng Yuezhi was surprised at her husband's thoughtful look, so she chuckled, poured herself some water and drank two sips, and said, "Since you're fine, I'll go back to work. I just asked for leave, so sorry."
She stood up quickly.
After a while, Pei Shengcai also stood up suddenly. His sprained waist throbbed with pain and his face twitched, but the pain soon subsided. He was quite excited to go out, so he took two steps and went back to the house to get some money.
I almost forgot, I have to pay for the medical expenses.
Only ten minutes later, Pei Sheng came again.
Mother Pei heard the noise and came out of the kitchen. She was a little worried: "Is your waist still hurting?"
Could it be that the creek wasn't healed?
She was afraid that Jiang Xi's hard-earned reputation would be lost.
Pei Shengcai smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's a good thing. Let He Jun's wife come out. I have something to tell her."
Pei's mother suspected she was a fox, but when she saw Pei Shengcai's smile, her worry disappeared and she hurried to call for help.
Jiang Xi had just laid down and stood up again. She was still dizzy when Pei Shengcai came up to her with a big smile on his face. "Xiao Xi, your ability to treat illnesses has been seen by your uncle. It just so happens that there is no team doctor in the brigade. Usually, if there is anything, we have to travel a long way to the town for treatment. If we are not careful, the condition will be serious. I have always wanted to set up a clinic, but there is no doctor, so it cannot be run. Do you have an interest? Then you can see a doctor for free. The team will give you work points, and they will charge you after they get the medicine. The price will be the same as in the town. What do you think?"
Jiang Xi: “!!!”
She quickly came to her senses and looked at Pei Shengcai in surprise: "Really? Can I do this?"
If it worked, she wouldn't be short of points! Why did she have to go to see patients like this today? She was basically lying down to earn points. As for the salary turning into work points, she didn't care.
Now the Pei family is not short of money, they are only short of points.
Pei Shengcai gave her a positive answer: "Of course you can. It's the busy farming season right now, and many people must be injured. If we go to the town again, it will be a waste of time. I will consult the opinions of each village when I go back. What do you think?"
Mother Pei was also very excited and pushed Jiang Xi: "Hurry up and agree to it. This is a great thing. You don't have to do farm work in the future."
Although I still had to help during the robbery, I could usually sit in the clinic, receive medical treatment comfortably, and earn work points. It couldn't be better.
Jiang Xi did not nod, but said hesitantly: "That's good, I also think I can do it, but Pei Shengcai, you know the situation in my family, He Jun can't leave anyone..."
Pei Shengcai also frowned.
Pei's mother was touched but anxious at the same time. She never expected that such a good job could not be done because of the third child?
She wanted to say that it was the same if she stayed at home to take care of the third child, but what she was always worried about was that the family would run out of money. She and the old man were old and could not earn many work points. They had to take care of the third child themselves. Although their income was less, there were still many mouths to feed.
If all three people could get work points, that would be the best of both worlds.
Her mind searched rapidly, and suddenly an idea came to her: "How about your father and I take the third child to the clinic every day, so that you can look after him and see a doctor. When we come back, we can take him back, it's the same. After all, the clinic can't always have patients. If it's too busy, you can send someone to tell me, and I'll take leave to take care of the third child. Is that ok?"
Pei Shengcai also nodded quickly: "This is fine, how about it?"
Jiang Xi thought about it for a moment and felt that this matter was quite troublesome, but compared to the work points, it was nothing. She could just make a wheelchair. She nodded and said, "Okay, Captain. Thank you for your help."
Pei Shengcai smiled and said, "I am the one who is bothering you. Please help me solve this big problem!"
If it really works, the whole team will benefit.
After this was confirmed, Pei Sheng couldn't wait to go to the brigade to discuss it with the deputy captain, the accountant and others in the brigade. It turned out that there was a health center in the brigade.
But the doctor was afraid when he heard the news, so he ran away. The clinic was vacant for half a year. No doctor was willing to stay there, and as more and more educated youth came, the clinic was given to them to live in.
It has been unusable for a long time now.
Moreover, the health center is in the next village, which is quite far from here, so we need to build a new health center.
The clinic does not need to be very big. Just mark out a piece of land and build it on the edge of the village close to several surrounding villages. After the busy farming season in May, hire a few people and it will be completed in ten days. The cost is not high.
Pei Shengcai had planned all of this. When he went to the brigade early the next morning, he pulled a few people together to discuss it.
But after he finished speaking with spitting, he took a big gulp of water with an unsatisfied look. After waiting for a long time, no one agreed with him.
Pei Shengcai: “?”
He couldn't believe it: "Don't you think this is good? Jiang Xi's medical skills are really good. I personally experienced it today. Many people in our village went to her for medical treatment and medicine, and no one said anything bad about her. Isn't it good to have a doctor?"
In order to avoid suspicion, there were one or two cadres in the brigade from each village. The brigade leader was Pei Shengcai, and the deputy leader, accountant, cashier, secretary, and custodian all came from other villages. For example, deputy leader Zhou Xin came from Zhoujia Village.
These people decide almost all matters concerning the Sixth Production Brigade.
Pei Shengcai was full of expectations, but the other five were not. First of all, they did not know Jiang Xi, and secondly, it would cost money. Although it was not much, it was still heartbreaking when everyone was poor.
Therefore, several people hesitated and were unwilling to nod.
Pei Shengcai understood and said angrily: "Why don't you agree? Do you really want to endure a minor illness or pain by yourself, or would you rather go all the way to the town? It's only eight work points, our team can afford it."
Deputy Captain Zhou Xin quickly smiled and said, "Of course not, but you are too impatient, aren't you? What if she can only treat some injuries?"
The captain said with a smile: "You don't know about the injuries. Do you want her to perform surgery on someone in the clinic?"
Zhou Xin: “…”
Accountant Lin Tao said tactfully, "Then we don't need eight work points a day, do we? That's too much."
"Well..." Pei Shengcai did not refute. He blurted out that eight work points might be too much. After thinking for a moment, he said, "If it is less, I am afraid it will be a bit of a loss, because the consultation is free. For example, if I sprained my waist yesterday, I would not prescribe medicine, but only help massage to relieve the pain, or help with the recovery of a dislocated joint, and I would not charge any fees."
Lin Tao saw that there was a chance, and immediately said: "This is a problem, so I put this matter on the back burner. The villagers in our villages may not agree. Look at our accounts. A while ago, an educated youth secretly went to the mountains to try to hunt and broke his leg. He borrowed ten yuan and there is not much left... Look..."
The others nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, we don't have any money now, so let's not bother. Isn't it good now?"
"Although the cost of a clinic may not seem high, it costs a lot just to buy bricks, not to mention that we have to order tables, chairs, benches and beds. It's very troublesome..."
The colleagues who had been reluctant to speak just now were now talking so fast that Pei Shengcai had no chance to get a word in.
He also understood, and his expression became more and more ugly.
As the team leader, he certainly knew the team's accounts, but it would still be possible to build a clinic so that the surrounding villagers would have better access to medical care in the future.
Moreover, he thought that it was not just his brigade that had no doctor. Several surrounding brigades were the same. Compared to going to the town, it was obviously more convenient here, and maybe they could even make some money.
Only now...
Pei Shengcai took a deep breath, knowing that his colleagues had not wanted to agree at first. He was too lazy to say anything. Anyway, the people were in his village, and without a clinic, it would be troublesome for others to see a doctor, not him.
He said with a frown, "Okay, if you don't want to, then forget it."
Zhou Xin laughed dryly: "Of course it's not that I don't want to, it's just that my strength lies here..."
Pei Shengcai was too lazy to listen and just turned around and left.
The few people left in the office looked at each other in dismay, especially Zhou Xin, whose face turned black and he muttered, "You act like you're working for the country and the people all day long, but you just see that there are not many Peis in the team? Do you want to help one up?"
Lin Tao, the accountant who was close to Zhou Xin, also said quickly: "Besides, how capable can a girl of 17 or 18 be? It seems that Pei Sheng has set his sights on this vacancy. Eight work points a day is a lucrative job. You wish for it."
He spoke without restraint because the remaining two people, the cashier and the administrator, happened to be from another village and were supported by the previous team leader. They were usually honest and did not dare to report at all.
However, Lin Tao simply agreed, but Zhou Xin, who was listening, was moved.
That's quite true.
This is actually a lucrative job.
He hadn't thought of it before, but Pei Shengcai had noticed it, so he had to think about whether there was a suitable person. It would be best if he could get there first. After all, the team doctor could also be in the team.
