Chapter 20



Two days later

The fact that the team suddenly had a team doctor was indeed shocking.

There are several villages around Peijia Village and Zhoujia Village, all of which belong to the same brigade. Peijia Village and Zhoujia Village are located in the center of the brigade.

These two locations were quite advantageous, so the fact that the health center was to be built at the entrance of Zhoujia Village was immediately known to the surrounding villagers.

The other villages were all happy.

It's a good thing to have a doctor.

At least I don't have to walk so far.

But the villagers of Peijia Village did not think so. They had already experienced Jiang Xi's medical skills and trusted her very much. In addition, after Pei Shengcai's previous incident, they all thought that Jiang Xi was definitely the team doctor.

This sudden incident made them feel very complicated.

"What's going on in the brigade? Isn't Doctor Jiang doing fine?"

"That's right. I asked her to treat my rheumatoid arthritis a few days ago. Oh, you don't know, my leg has not hurt for several nights. Why can't she be the team doctor?"

As everyone was discussing, a strange voice interrupted: "Why else? Because you're not good enough!"

The gray-haired man stared at her and said, "Xisheng, what are you talking about? The doctors in the town couldn't cure my chronic cold leg, but she gave me a few injections and the pain went away. Isn't that amazing?"

Xisheng's mother did not refute, but only asked: "She is so amazing, why don't you let her be the team doctor?"

The man was speechless for a moment.

How does he know this?

Just like before, when Jiang Xi was praised by the team leader Pei Shengcai, everyone in the village believed in her. Now the team has appointed another doctor as the team doctor, so everyone subconsciously thinks that this person must be more powerful than Jiang Xi.

The villagers are used to following the brigade in everything, and the brigade leader Pei Shengcai has done a really good job. Currently, the village is following the brigade and is developing well, and few people will question the brigade's decisions.

Seeing this, Xisheng's mother snorted complacently: "Forget about it, I have to ask the doctor in the brigade to check on my daughter-in-law. That little bitch has been unable to lay eggs for such a long time, wasting food..."

"Bah!" A man who was speaking for Jiang Xi couldn't stand seeing her like this and spat in anger, "What a villain! Any woman who is tortured like this will have a hard time getting pregnant!"

"Anyway, I still believe in Doctor Jiang."

"Me too, and Dr. Jiang's fees are really cheap. The medicine is not much more expensive. There is no need to change doctors and go such a long way."

Although they don't question it, the villagers still have their own judgment.

The bias is obvious in which one to choose.

At this time, a young couple passed by them. Judging from the direction they were heading, they were going to Pei's house. Someone immediately asked, "Xiufang, where are you two going?"

Lu Xiufang smiled and said, "Let's go see Doctor Jiang. Didn't it rain the past two days? I got caught in the rain and I think I have a cold. But I don't dare to go out casually, so I have to go ask Doctor Jiang."

Xisheng's mother, who had heard the noise from afar, suddenly turned around and walked over, shouting at the top of her voice: "Come with me to find the team doctor. The team doctor must be more powerful."

Lu Xiufang's smile faded a lot: "No need, Doctor Jiang is very good."

Xisheng's mother said unhappily, "You are so ignorant!"

She looked at the man next to Lu Xiufang and said, "Jianxiang, you are a man, you should be sensible and take your wife to find a better team doctor. I am doing this for your own good. This is your son that you have been waiting for so long."

Pei Jianxiang frowned and said, "No need. Doctor Jiang was the one who discovered my wife's pregnancy. I trust her."

"You don't know how to be kind!" Xisheng's mother shook her head, with a look that said you'll be in trouble if you don't obey, and walked out staggeringly.

She wants to take her daughter-in-law to see a better doctor.

As soon as Jiang Xi saw his wife, he was so angry that she only knew how to eat good food all day long and was not pregnant. What use could Jiang Xi have for her? I'm afraid that was just a blind cat catching a dead mouse!

There is a new doctor in the brigade.

Although the clinic has not yet opened, a new doctor has already taken office. The place is simple, a dilapidated house at the entrance of Zhoujia Village, but the villagers do not mind it at all.

There hasn't been a doctor in the team for a long time.

Moreover, the doctors in the brigade usually do not charge fees, but only charge for medicine, so they are willing to see a doctor. It is different from the doctors in the town, who charge fifty cents just for taking your pulse.

Who would be willing to do this under normal circumstances?

But now it is different, so those who heard the news came one after another, and took advantage of the farmers' leisure time to quickly solve their ailments, so that they could feel relaxed in time for the harvest in July.

When Xisheng's mother arrived at the entrance of Zhoujia Village, people were coming and going.

It's even more lively than the Pei family back then.

The person sitting at the front for the examination was a young man in a shirt, probably in his twenties, with a slicked-back hair and a pen in his shirt pocket. The team doctor had a stern face, looking like someone who would keep you at a distance.

Xisheng's mother smacked her lips in astonishment, and she felt more and more that she was right. This Jiang Xi was definitely not as good as the doctor in the team!

She was about to go up hesitantly.

But just as he got closer, he was scolded by the stern-faced young doctor: "Can't you see everyone is queuing? Why are you running over here? Go queue up!"

Xisheng's mother was scolded and stepped back in fear. It took her a long time to react and she had to queue up.

Seeing the stern look on the doctor's face, she felt that he was even more powerful. Even though he was very young, she was particularly kind when he was scolded, saying, "Okay, I'll go to the queue, doctor, don't be angry."

"Stop making noise, you're disturbing me from taking your pulse!" the team doctor said coldly.

The patient who was being examined immediately stared over.

Xisheng's mother quickly shut up, ran to the end of the line, and lined up obediently.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, this doctor is so serious.

The team left one after another, and she watched eagerly. The doctor was very fast in seeing patients. There were more than 20 people in front of her, but it was her turn in a short while.

Seeing that there were only two people left, Xisheng's mother became even more excited.

She had organized her words in her mind, thinking that when it was her turn, she would tell the doctor everything. Soon, another person left. It was getting late. The doctor stretched his back and looked at the line. His face fell, "It's getting dark. I won't see you anymore. You can go back first and come back tomorrow."

Xisheng's mother was immediately annoyed: "I have been waiting in line for such a long time, how can you just say you don't want to do it?"

The team doctor's face darkened: "How long have I been seeing him? You guys don't have a doctor here. I've been seeing him non-stop since I got here. If I see him too many times, it won't be accurate. Go back quickly and come back tomorrow. Let me rest. Otherwise, what if something goes wrong?!"

Xisheng's mother was a bully who only bullied the weak and feared the strong. When the other party was ruthless, she became weak and begged, "Doctor, I have been waiting for a long time, why don't you see me first?"

"No, no, no!" The team doctor said fiercely, "Are you still not leaving?"

The others were not as brave as her, and seeing that begging was futile, they all left one by one. Xisheng's mother stomped her feet in frustration, but the team doctor stood up and chased them away, saying that he wanted to close the door.

Xisheng's mother immediately started to curse: "What good doctor? He's not even as good as the one in our village..."

But the team doctor who was closing the door with his back to her froze in surprise.

Li Quan knew why he came here. His cousin said that the reason he had the opportunity to be the team doctor of the Sixth Brigade was entirely because of the power struggle within the Sixth Brigade, and he was one of the pawns.

Captain Pei Shengcai wanted to place the team doctor on his own side, but the deputy captain was determined to oppose the captain, so he found him.

When he was appointed, Li Quan had seen the captain's serious opposition. Fortunately, there were many cadres in the team. Although two of them gave up their rights, his cousin and the deputy captain also agreed, so he officially became the team doctor.

His cousin warned him to do his job well.

Although Li Quan didn't care much about this group of people, he was also afraid that if he ran into someone who was really serious, it would be bad if things got out of hand. So Li Quan coughed lightly, and when he saw that most of the people had left, he shouted, "Auntie!"

Xisheng's mother had been reluctant to leave, but when she heard the team doctor calling her, she immediately turned around and said, "Hey, doctor, what's wrong?"

Li Quan said with a serious face: "Seeing that you are so anxious, I guess you are seriously ill. I still have some time, so I can take a look at you."

"Okay, thank you, doctor." Xisheng's mother was overjoyed. She didn't expect that just a few complaints from her could make the doctor relax. She ran forward quickly, pointed at her head, and said earnestly, "Doctor, my head has stopped growing hair after a fight with my daughter-in-law. This bald spot is too ugly. Please give me some medicine to apply."

Li Quan: “…”

He didn't expect that this man looked so anxious, just for this?

Li Quan said with a dark face: "Just apply some ginger, ginger will help your hair grow."

Xisheng's mother was stunned: "Is it so simple?"

"Yes." Li Quan nodded and was about to chase people away again.

Xisheng's mother hurriedly pulled him aside and said, "Actually, there is one more thing."

Li Quan looked at her without saying anything.

Xisheng's mother was a little embarrassed: "My daughter-in-law has been unable to conceive. Of course it's not my son's problem. I want to ask the doctor, is there any way to make my daughter-in-law pregnant? It would be best if it was a boy!"

Li Quan heaved a sigh of relief. Since he became a barefoot doctor, he has been asked by countless people for the secret recipe for giving birth to a boy. But how could there be such a secret recipe? But in order not to reduce his prestige as a doctor, he still said, "Yes, but both the husband and wife must drink it, and they must cooperate with each other. The price is also a bit expensive. Do you want it? If you do, come and get the medicine tomorrow afternoon."

A bit expensive...

Xisheng's mother hesitated: "How expensive is it?"

Li Quan held out his palm and said, "Five yuan can be consumed for three days, and you can drink it for half a month. During this period, the couple cannot have sex."

"Hiss!" Xisheng's mother gasped. Five dollars, and for half a month, it would cost twenty-five! It's really too expensive!

But when she saw Li Quan's impatient expression, she felt that although the money was expensive, it was worth it!

The doctor is so good, he must have given me a good secret recipe.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Okay."

"Give me three dollars as a deposit first."

"Give it to me now?"

"Of course, how else would I get the medicine?"

Xisheng's mother was so distressed that she cursed her daughter-in-law in her heart, saying that she was useless, otherwise why would she spend so much money? But even so, she still gave the money for her grandson.

After receiving the money, Li Quan's expression softened a lot. He took note of this person and then waved his hand: "Go back if you have nothing else to do."

Xisheng's mother left immediately.

If she didn't leave now, she would be reluctant to take the money back.

She walked fast, and she hadn't talked to Li Quan for a long time just now, so she was stopped after only a few steps.

After all, she was a new doctor, so everyone was very curious. Seeing Xisheng's mother mumbling for a while, a woman stopped on the road and waited for a while. When she saw her approaching, she immediately whispered, "Sister-in-law, what did you just say to the team doctor?"

When Xisheng's mother saw her sister-in-law, she also smiled: "What else can I say? Talk about my hen that doesn't lay eggs."

The woman comforted him, "It's not your destiny yet, but it will come soon."

Xisheng's mother's complexion improved, and she nodded, "This doctor seems to be quite skilled. My grandson will surely be here soon. By the way, what are you doing here?"

"Isn't my daughter-in-law about to give birth?" The woman looked happy, but also a little worried. "I came here to ask if the doctor can come to the town. Although there is a matchmaker, she said that my daughter-in-law's butt is not big enough and it may be difficult for her to give birth. I'm afraid something will happen."

Xisheng's mother sighed: "Your daughter-in-law really met a good mother-in-law. This doctor is good. Let him take charge. There will definitely be no problem."

The woman already thought so, and after hearing her words, she felt more at ease: "Sister-in-law, when Xiaoyun gives birth in a few days, you must come to the wedding to attend the wedding, and ask your daughter-in-law to come as well, so that she can share in the joyous atmosphere. Maybe she will give birth to a big fat boy when she returns."

"That's a good feeling."

The aunt and sister-in-law finished talking with a smile, and when they reached the intersection, they parted ways. Xisheng's mother looked back at the dilapidated health center that had not yet been built at the entrance of Zhoujia Village, and walked into her own village with her head held high.

A good doctor is different!

Her grandson is coming soon!
