Chapter 050 You're a Nice Person
In the end, we didn’t get to eat the Gu family’s iron pot stewed goose.
Because it was about six or seven in the evening, when it was almost time for dinner, the military truck from the neighboring farm drove into the village again.
Zhao Jinliang and Qiao Youqing both came in person, and when they saw Ye Qing, their expressions looked particularly solemn.
"You said before that your village still has a backup of that folk remedy kit? Where is it?"
Ye Qing was puzzled and quickly said, "It's kept at the captain's house. Is there something wrong?"
Zhao Jinliang nodded and said concisely:
"The secretary of your commune sent the medicine package to the county for testing. The technicians in the testing and analysis room did not operate properly and accidentally contaminated the sample. As a result, the test failed and we had to start over."
How could a normal technician make such a mistake? Ye Qing's heart skipped a beat, and he raised his head and asked nervously:
"Yes or no--"
Zhao Jinliang nodded:
"The person has been controlled. The Intelligence Bureau will soon take over the investigation. Once the person is thoroughly investigated, the fox's tail will eventually be exposed, no matter how well it is hidden!"
Even the inspection department of the county has been infiltrated, which is enough to show how difficult and serious this matter is. Ye Qing's bad premonition has become even stronger. She feels that her previous bold guess is likely to become a reality.
Obviously, Zhao Jinliang and Qiao Youqing had the same idea, so the two of them came to Kaoshantun to get the spare medicine bag and to take Ye Qing to the county for a meeting.
"Professor Qiao will take the medicine package back to the Provincial Agricultural Science Institute for testing. Ye Zhiqing, you pack up and follow me to the county for an emergency meeting!" Zhao Jinliang said to Ye Qing.
Ye Qing was stunned and pointed at himself: "Me?"
Zhao Jinliang nodded and said, "Yes, the people sent by Yangcheng Military Region have already arrived at the county. This matter involves too many people. The county government office, the Public Security Bureau, the Agricultural Bureau, the Revolutionary Committee, and the Intelligence Bureau must all be mobilized. Because you are the first to discover the problem and raise doubts, you have to make a statement and report, and also participate in the discussion of the emergency solution plan for this matter."
Ye Qing was still a little confused and was pulled into the car by Zhao Jinliang in a daze.
The three of them went to Captain Wu's house again and took the spare medicine bag. Then the military vehicle accelerated away under the curious gazes of the Wu family.
Arriving at the county government agency, Ye Qing felt the solemn atmosphere as soon as he and Zhao Jinliang got out of the car.
Several men in green military uniforms were standing at the door, all armed with live ammunition, and the people participating in the meeting were already in place. Everyone had a very serious look on their faces, and it was obvious that this sudden situation caught all the leaders in the county off guard.
Before entering the conference room, Ye Qing was not only searched, but also asked various questions, almost going through her entire family history.
This cautious attitude made Ye Qing unconsciously nervous.
"Don't be afraid. Just report everything you know in a while. If the sky falls, there are always taller people to hold it up. You did a great job this time. If you hadn't been the first to warn me in advance, I'm afraid that if this matter was allowed to ferment secretly for a while, it would have reached an irreversible point!"
Zhao Jinliang patted Ye Qing's shoulder soothingly, signaling her to relax.
Fortunately, Ye Qing adjusted himself quickly, mainly because many of the people attending the meeting from the county were leaders who had visited Kaoshantun last time. Ye Qing had met them all before. Seeing those familiar faces, Ye Qing suddenly felt not so scary anymore.
After everyone arrived, the meeting began. The person who chaired the meeting was an old leader from the military region. There were not many long-winded pre-meeting speeches. As soon as the leader came up, he asked Ye Qing, the person involved, to narrate the specific events.
Zhao Jinliang was quite worried about Ye Qing, fearing that the kid had never experienced such a battle and would be so nervous that he couldn't speak at the critical moment.
But what Zhao Jinliang did not expect was that he underestimated the young educated youth's ability to withstand pressure. Facing dozens of old, middle-aged and young leaders attending the meeting, Ye Qing's thinking was clear and his articulation was fluent. After he reviewed the entire process in a concise and concise manner, everyone in the conference room understood what was going on.
The old leader's brain reacted very quickly. After listening to Ye Qing's speech, he quickly made a summary statement:
"In a broad sense, this is definitely a terrorist attack carried out by extremists. Although their targets are livestock, the ultimate victims are still the people."
"So we must act quickly and get to the bottom of this matter before it causes panic among the public. We are now dividing the work and working in two directions."
"On the one hand, we need to find out all the planners and implementers of this conspiracy, to ensure that no blind spots are missed and no fish slip through the net."
"This will be handled by the Intelligence Bureau, Public Security Bureau and the Revolutionary Committee. You should discuss and come up with a plan as soon as possible on how to mobilize and coordinate.
"On the other hand, we need to use the quickest method and within the shortest possible time to confirm and count how many oxen in our county's production brigades have been contaminated by this batch of toxic substances from unknown sources!"
At this point, the old leader looked towards Ye Qing:
"Comrade Ye, you are the first and only person who has come into contact with the problematic cow. Based on your experience, do you have any special method that can allow ordinary people to quickly determine whether the cow has eaten opium and has been contaminated by drugs?"
This question really stumped Ye Qing.
She could name seven or eight principles and methods for testing morphine ingredients, but basically they all required reagents and instruments to be done.
"Other than some unusual behavior, there are no obvious signs that can be identified with the naked eye when animals eat poppy."
"But if there is a reagent, it can be quickly tested using a colorimetric reaction."
"It is difficult for animals to completely metabolize opium in a short period of time, so once consumed, opium and morphine-like substances will be present in their urine."
"When this type of substance comes into contact with chemical reagents such as sulfuric acid and formaldehyde, it will change color from purple to blue-purple or red-purple."
After thinking it over for a while, Ye Qing came up with a relatively simple and efficient method.
The old leader immediately looked at the county government office and said, "I don't understand the chemical industry. What are the two reagents that Ye Zhiqing mentioned? Do we have the ability to solve them in our county?"
The county government office leader didn't understand, but this matter was extremely urgent, and they had already provided a solution, so he couldn't say "no", so he quickly said:
"Jiaotan County doesn't have a relevant chemical plant, but Wusong City does. I'm going to contact the province now to see if I can apply for a batch of the two reagents Comrade Ye mentioned."
With that, the county government office leader ran out to make a phone call. About 20 minutes later, the leader came back in a hurry:
"The Wusongcheng Chemical Factory said they can produce a small amount of sulfuric acid and formaldehyde and will deliver it tonight."
Ye Qing quickly added, "Sulfuric acid is highly corrosive and formaldehyde is highly toxic. Ordinary people should not use it casually. It is best to operate it under the guidance of professionals. Remember to wear a mask and gloves!"
It is still possible to find people in this field in the county. After the test materials arrive, all we need to do is give temporary training to the clerks who go to the countryside to do statistics, and there will be no problem.
This was probably the best role Ye Qing could play, and she did not attend the subsequent meetings because halfway through the meeting, she received a call from Qingshan Farm saying that Gu Weidong, who had gone to Mashipo, had not only found several acres of poppy fields in the mountains, but also caught several suspicious elements hiding in the production team.
When the news came out, the leaders in charge of investigating the case could no longer sit still.
Then Zhao Jinliang led a group of people to the military farm, and Ye Qing also took a ride back to the village.
After arriving at Qingshan Town, Zhao Jinliang first led the majority of the troops to the farm, and then asked Zhu Zhigang to send Ye Qing back to Kaoshantun.
As a result, as soon as Ye Qing arrived at the farm, she heard that Gu Weidong was injured. When she found the medical station, she saw that guy leaning on a chair with his teeth grimacing in pain, waiting for the doctor from the medical station to come and sew him up.
In just a few hours of absence, this guy had two cuts on his shoulders and back that were deep enough to reveal the bone. The bloody and splattered cuts were enough to make one gasp just by looking at them.
Ye Qing was almost speechless, she knew that Gu Weidong was simply a ruthless character who would risk his life, otherwise he wouldn't have so many health problems at such a young age, so she specifically reminded Gu Weidong to be careful and not to act too aggressively before leaving.
But it was obvious that this guy didn't take her previous words to heart at all. Even though his leg was so injured, he still rushed forward like a desperate man when carrying out the mission.
Probably because he didn't expect Ye Qing to come, the guy was stunned for a moment, then he immediately retracted his grinning expression and became his previous cold and aloof look again.
Ye Qing curled his lips and directly exposed the hypocritical mask of this guy:
"Who are you trying to show off to? Stop pretending, I can see it all!"
Gu Weidong paused and subconsciously touched his nose to hide the discomfort on his face.
Looking at the nasty wound, Ye Qing was helpless and could only resign himself to taking out the silver needle box and injecting needles around the wound of this guy while muttering unhappily:
"You are really amazing. You are relying on God's blessing, so you don't take your life seriously at all, right?"
"With the way you live, even if you have nine lives, it won't be enough for you!"
The meaning of these words was so obvious that Gu Weidong suddenly raised his head and looked at Ye Qing with burning eyes.
Ye Qing had no intention of dodging. Didn't she want to play it straight? Then there was nothing to hide. She frankly let Gu Weidong look at her, not caring what he thought, and continued to chatter:
"We had agreed to give you a medicinal bath and acupuncture in a few days. With your injury this severe, you can't go swimming for more than a week. The plan can only be postponed. Just wait and see. Aunt Cuilan will cry like crazy if you go back in this condition."
Having said that, Ye Qing went inside to ask for medical suture tools, ready to do it himself.
There must have been a conflict on the way to Mapipo, so there were several injured people among the people who returned, including one who was shot by a hunting rifle. The medical station was obviously understaffed, so no one came to help treat Gu Weidong's external injuries.
Now Ye Qing said he would come to help and mentioned Zhao Jinliang's name. The nurse at the medical station was skeptical, but still took out all the tools Ye Qing wanted.
Then, under the supervision of the nurse, Ye Qing flew up and down, and in just three or two minutes he sutured Gu Weidong's two wounds.
Because he had had the silver needle inserted in advance, Gu Weidong didn't feel much pain during the suturing process.
The nurse was relieved to see that Ye Qing had completed the suture operation well. Then, Ye Qing was recruited and asked by the nurse to fill the gap in the medical station and be responsible for treating the wounds of several other PLA comrades who were slightly injured.
Ye Qing had no choice but to volunteer again. By the time he finished his work, it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening.
When she was waiting to go out, Gu Weidong was standing at the door. When he saw Ye Qing coming out, he took out two eggs from his arms and handed them to her.
Ye Qing was not polite either. She didn't have a regular meal today and also missed the iron pot stewed goose in the evening. She went to the county for a meeting and then rushed back without stopping. She was so busy that she didn't have dinner yet and was already starving.
However, the cooked egg was a bit too dry, and she was busy wolfing it down to fill her stomach. She felt choked when she swallowed it.
I was looking for some water when a military green water bottle was handed to me.
The living environment of the survivors of the apocalypse is harsh, and it is common for several people to drink from one bottle of water, so Ye Qing directly took Gu Weidong's water bottle, tilted his neck back and drank several sips of water from the air.
After finally swallowing the dry egg yolk, Ye Qing looked at Gu Weidong:
"Are you done with your work? Can you go home now?"
Gu Weidong glanced at his water bottle and shook his head.
"I can't leave for now. The issues regarding the people I captured have not been resolved yet. I have to continue following up. I may not be able to return to the village for the next two days."
Ye Qing didn't ask who was arrested. The matter was too complicated, and as an ordinary person, the less she knew, the better.
"Okay, I'll go first. You should take care of your leg. Don't take your life lightly. Your body is the capital of revolution. No matter how big your ambitions are, if you don't have a healthy body, it will be useless no matter how hard you fight!"
Having said that, Ye Qing walked out, ready to find Zhu Jingang to send her back to Kaoshantun.
Who knew that after she had only taken a few steps, the man behind her suddenly caught up with her and stopped her.
"etc!"
Ye Qing turned around and looked at Gu Weidong in confusion.
Gu Weidong looked at Ye Qing with bright eyes:
"I can sing "Asian Pride". If you don't know how to sing it, I can teach you!"
Ye Qing was stunned, and then the corners of his mouth twitched:
"Thank you so much, you are such a nice person. But no thanks, 'Asian Pride' is a bit rustic, I think 'Jicheng Welcomes You' is better!"
Gu Weidong was confused for a moment.
Seeing the boy's expression, Ye Qing wanted to laugh, knowing that he didn't understand these jokes at all:
"I'm not kidding you anymore. I really have to go. We haven't gone back yet, and we haven't said a word to each other. I don't know how worried Grandma Zou and your parents must be."
Gu Weidong originally wanted to be frank and find out Ye Qing's real age and specific background, but when he saw Ye Qing's tired state and the current environment they were in, it was indeed not appropriate to discuss this topic in depth, so he did not continue to ask.
When Ye Qing returned to Kaoshantun, it was already midnight and the village had fallen into silence, but the lights were still on at the Gu family and Grandma Zou's house at the end of the village.
As soon as Ye Qing got off the car, he saw Gu Zhenxing and his wife waiting anxiously at the gate of the courtyard.
"Ye Zhiqing, are you the only one back? Where is my Weidong? Did something happen to him?" Aunt Gu asked anxiously.
Ye Qing waved to Zhu Jingang, watched the military card drive out of the village, and then pulled Gu Zhenxing and his wife into the house.
What surprised Ye Qing was that, apart from Grandma Zou, the remaining three siblings of the Gu family, including Yang Dazhi, were all in the room.
Apparently, the Gu family couldn't sleep because they were worried about Gu Weidong.
Fearing that these people would worry, Ye Qing did not dare to tell them that Gu Weidong was injured again while on duty, and only said lightly:
"Uncle Zhenxing, auntie, I lied to you during the day. After Gu Weidong and I went to the farm in the afternoon, Director Zhao temporarily called him to handle a case."
"But don't worry, I have sealed his legs, so he will be fine. The other person has returned and is currently handing over work at the military farm."
"The situation this time is a bit special. Due to confidentiality, I can't tell you too much, but I can give you a reassurance. Gu Weidong has made a great contribution this time. I estimate that after this case is over, he should be able to be promoted from deputy battalion commander to full commander!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the Gu family looked at each other in surprise.
Ye Qing was not speaking nonsense.
This time it was a major case. When Gu Weidong went to Mapipo, he not only found a large area of poppy fields, but also arrested important people involved in the case. He definitely made a great contribution. After the case is thoroughly investigated, the higher-ups will certainly commend the relevant personnel involved in the case. Gu Weidong will definitely get at least a third-class merit.
The news brought by Ye Qing made the Gu family very excited.
Aunt Gu, in particular, had not yet forgotten what happened at Wu's house during the day when Wu Yueying scolded her son for being a cripple and belittled him as being worthless.
This made Auntie Gu very angry. She silently kept this humiliation in mind, waiting for the chance to get back at her.
She had not expected that this opportunity would come so soon. She could not wait to see Wu Yueying's arrogant and ungrateful look and regret after her son was commended, promoted and given a permanent position.
With Ye Qing's comfort, Gu's family finally felt relieved and went home to sleep obediently.
When Ye Qing went to the kitchen to boil water for her bath, she found a large pot of hot water already in the pot, with a bowl of rice and a large bowl of goose meat warming beside it. It was obviously served specially for her by Aunt Gu when she stewed goose in an iron pot in the evening.
At that time, every household had limited food, and the geese they raised were not as big as they are in later generations. The geese in Gu's family's collection were probably quite old, and after being slaughtered, they would only weigh three or four kilograms at most.
Ye Qing saw Auntie Gu stir-frying goose in the evening. In fact, there was not much meat. There were seven people in the Gu family including Grandma Zou. The meat was not enough to eat, so Auntie Gu also threw a lot of side dishes such as dried beans, wild mushrooms, vermicelli, and cabbage into the pot, making it a big stew in the iron pot.
But now, Ye Qing did not see any side dishes in the meal that was reserved for her. It was all goose meat, and most of the parts reserved were meatier and less boney. It was obvious that the food was specially picked out for her with great care.
Such details can easily make people feel warm and moved. Ye Qing felt sad. Even though she was very sleepy, she still ate the rice and goose meat carefully.
After taking a bath, Ye Qing lay on the newly made kang, covered with the new quilt that Aunt Gu had made for her. She couldn't help but sigh with contentment, snuggled comfortably into the warm quilt, and slept until dawn.
The next morning, when Ye Qing went to work, the news about Wu Yueying hooking up with Jian Ming had spread throughout the village. Even Meng Jia, who usually didn't like gossip, ran to the Yazi River to gossip with Ye Qing about it.
"I heard that Jian Ming is going to marry into Captain Wu's family. Is this true?"
Ye Qing said with a smile:
"Who told you that? Wu Yueying did announce in front of many people yesterday that she was going to marry Jian Ming, but that is different from Jian Ming marrying into Captain Wu's family, okay? How come this rumor is getting more and more outrageous?"
Meng Jia disagrees:
"Jian Ming might really take this path. You may not know this yet, but I heard from an old educated youth that Jian Ming's family background was a bit problematic. His maternal grandfather's family seemed to be a big landlord, and his father sent him out for foster care. He was lucky to escape the disaster. It was also to avoid being investigated that he took the initiative to sign up to go to the countryside to join the production team."
"He was anxious to change his class and background. If he could marry into the captain's family and get a recommendation for admission to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, he would have absolutely no hesitation."
Ye Qing was stunned.
So many things happened in the past few days that if Meng Jia hadn't mentioned it, Ye Qing would have almost forgotten about the incident at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.
The key point is that in yesterday's opium powder case, Kaoshantun was the first production brigade to discover the problem. Not only did it take the lead in reporting the case, it also secretly kept samples. It definitely made a great contribution.
With Captain Wu's old fox brain and his temper that dares to challenge Lai Guochang, he will definitely go to the commune to ask for benefits after the case is investigated. If the commune cannot give substantial compensation, he may really give the recommendation quota for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University to Kaoshantun.
If this quota really falls into the hands of Kaoshantun, how could Jian Ming not be tempted? In order to get that quota before, he even dared to calculate Meng Jia's innocence and life. This kind of person is not only cruel to others, but also to himself. He can change his fate by sacrificing his marriage. Jian Ming is 100% capable of doing this!
Thinking of this, Ye Qing didn't know what to say for a moment.
Anyway, she didn't see anything special about Jian Ming. She didn't know what Wu Yueying saw in this villain who played tricks behind her back.
"You still remember Liu Mei, right? She was the one I beat up, and she was the one who fanned the flames and said you were the murderer when Liu Kui died a few days ago."
Ye Qing nodded.
"You would never have thought that Jian Ming was sent away by his parents for foster care, and he was actually sent to the home of Liu Mei's relatives. After Jian Ming and Liu Mei went to the countryside, they always pretended to be strangers. No one knew that they had known each other since childhood!"
"Yesterday, Wu Yueying was clamoring to marry Jian Ming, and Liu Mei went to have a quarrel with Jian Ming. It seemed that Liu Mei had always been interested in Jian Ming and had been chasing after him since she was a child. If it weren't for Jian Ming, she would never have gone to the countryside. As a result, Jian Ming secretly got together with Wu Yueying, and Liu Mei felt that she was deceived, so she went to quarrel with Jian Ming, and the two of them had a complete falling out."
"I think Liu Mei has a bit of a stubborn and extreme personality. I guess she always thought Jian Ming was in her pocket. She didn't expect that she would be stolen by the daughter of the captain's family. I'm afraid she must hate Wu Yueying completely."
Ye Qing didn't find this strange at all.
Why did Liu Mei want to push Meng Jia into the river for no reason? Her grades in the commune exam last year were not good, and she had no chance of getting into the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. If she hadn't received a hint from someone with ulterior motives, she wouldn't have bothered Meng Jia at all.
In the final analysis, it was because she was brainless and was fooled by the man's sweet words. This kind of love brain that lost self-judgment and even lost the principles of being a human being for the man deserved whatever fate she ended up in. Ye Qing can only respect and wish her the best!
"No matter what happens, we should just watch quietly and not get involved."
Wu Yueying has been reborn, and it's still unknown why she's hooking up with Jian Ming. If Jian Ming is dating Wu Yueying with the intention of using her to get a place in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, then these two are a perfect match, and no one can say who has ulterior motives.
However, Ye Qing felt that Jian Ming's plan was a bit too big.
Wu Yongbing was not a fool, could he not see Jian Ming's plan? If Wu Yueying really married Jian Ming, with Wu Yongbing's old foxy behavior, for the sake of his daughter, he could trap Jian Ming to death in this village with a mountain as his back, and maybe he would never let him fly out for the rest of his life.
After all, with Wu Yueying's intelligence, she can only be calculated by Jian Ming. If Jian Ming really leaves Kaoshantun, Wu Yueying will have to wait to be abandoned.
Wu Yongbing was a small production team leader and he only had some power in Kaoshantun. If he really wanted to let Jian Ming go to college, it would be like letting a bird out of a cage and he would no longer be able to control him at all.
Therefore, Ye Qing estimated that Jian Ming's plan might get him into trouble, and his ultimate purpose of going to college was to take a bath.
Thinking of this, Ye Qing couldn't help but raise his head and look at Meng Jia:
"Do you really have to study at this Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University?"
Meng Jia was stunned, not quite understanding what Ye Qing meant by this question.
Ye Qing shrugged: "You can see that although the system of going to college has been restored, the candidates are all recommended. You can imagine how much water there is in it. Most of those who can go to college are the children of cadres and some people who like to calculate and intrigue. How many of these people can really study well? Even if they really go to college, after graduation, these people who know nothing can really take up positions in various important units?"
"The country is not stupid. It will soon realize the drawbacks of this system of promoting colleges. By that time, the name of the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University may become very embarrassing. You spent so much time thinking about it, but the diploma you read out in the end is just a piece of waste paper. Will you really be willing to accept that?"
The angle of this analysis was quite sharp and novel, and even Meng Jia was confused by it.
Because everyone around them is trying their best to go to college, everyone thinks that the recommendation system of the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University is good, and everyone wants to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change their destiny.
But now Ye Qing poured her a basin of cold water, which suddenly cooled her hot head.
She pondered Ye Qing's words carefully. The more she thought about it, the more shocked she became. She couldn't help but widen her eyes and looked at the little girl in front of her in disbelief:
"You mean to say that the country may reopen the college entrance examination to select talents, and this workers, peasants and soldiers university system is just a flash in the pan and will soon be abolished?"
Ye Qing was picking up pig grass while smiling and replied:
"I didn't say that. You guessed it yourself."
Although he said so, the resolute look in Ye Qing's eyes was almost self-evident.
Meng Jia couldn't help but take a breath of cool air.
If the college entrance examination can really be restored, why would she go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University? But who knows how long she will have to wait, can she really afford it?
As if seeing the confusion in Meng Jia's heart, Ye Qing stopped what he was doing, raised his head and said seriously:
"There are three paths before you now."
"The first rule is that you should stay in this village and join the team, find a partner step by step or give up the idea of getting married, and then wait for the opportunity to enter university;"
"The second thing is, if you really want to go to this Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, I can help you. Jian Ming definitely won't get a place in the university this year, and Wu Yongbing will definitely not give it to him. As for me, I have some influence whether in Kaoshantun or Hongqi Commune. If you really want this place, I can help you get it;"
"But like I said before, even if you go to this Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, you don't know what the future will be like. When you go to college or graduate, the policy on college entrance exams happens to change. Will you regret your choice? You have to weigh this carefully in your heart."
Meng Jia's expression changed constantly, and he asked Ye Qing:
"So what is this third way you're talking about?"
Ye Qing's lips curled slightly, and a fox-like cunning calculation flashed in his eyes:
"The third option is to just give up on this Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University and become my assistant."
"The Kaoshantun health station is going to be built soon. I can't handle it by myself. Would you consider coming to the health station to help me?"
Meng Jia was stunned when these words came out. He pointed at himself with his backhand, and was a little overwhelmed:
"Me? But I know nothing about medicine."
Ye Qing smiled and said, "Who didn't learn and figure things out from scratch? Don't you still want to go to college? Have you thought about what industry you want to work in in the future? Do you have a career direction?"
Meng Jia shook her head. She had no plans in this regard at all because no one had ever taught her about these things.
Ye Qing had anticipated this:
"Then let me show you a clear path. Don't be obsessed with going to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. Come and be my assistant. I will personally guide you. In three to five years, I will definitely help you lay a solid foundation in medicine."
"If you want to find a job, it's hard to say if it's far away, but it won't be difficult to get into Jiaotan County Hospital; if the policy is implemented and you want to go to university, with your foundation, it won't be difficult to get into a medical school. No matter which direction you go, the road ahead is bright and smooth, and it's definitely not worse than going to Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University!"
"What do you think?"
Meng Jia really didn't expect that she would be hit by a huge pie falling from the sky just when she came to chat with Ye Qing about gossip.
She was not stupid, how could she not know how much benefit Ye Qing's proposal would bring to her? The health station had not been built yet, but it was already a hot commodity in the village. I heard that in addition to Ye Qing, the station director, the health station had one official quota. For this official position, I don't know how many people were trying their best to get their children in.
Although Ye Qing told her to be an assistant and not to give her a formal position, Ye Qing had planned her future path clearly. Even if it was a temporary job, it was definitely an opportunity that Meng Jia had never dared to think about.
So she didn't think much about it and said impatiently:
"Then I'll choose the third path. I'll be your assistant! Ye Zhiqing, thank you so much. Whoever wants the place in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University can go. I won't fight for it!"
She almost lost her life for this little quota. If what came out after reading it out was just a piece of waste paper, she was afraid she would go crazy.
Ye Qing raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure? I don't think you need to reply to me so quickly. After all, this concerns your whole life. You should think it over carefully before making a decision."
"And I have to say this first. If you really become my assistant, you can't just come and go as you please. Without my approval, you can't even leave the door. So it's not too late for you to regret it now."
Meng Jia shook his head quickly: "No regrets, I have thought it through very clearly! Just let me know when you can start working!"
Ye Qing smiled and said, "Then I'll go talk to Captain Wu and you can be on duty tomorrow."
Meng Jia's eyes widened: "So fast?"
"Is it fast? You have no basics now, you don't know anything. I have to teach you carefully from the beginning. Otherwise, when the health station is built, you won't be able to do anything. What are you going to do then, just standing by and grinning at the patients?"
Meng Jia couldn't help but shrink his neck and pinched his ears embarrassedly.
After Meng Jia left, Ye Qing finished the work at hand and began to continue her scientific breeding plan. After this poppy powder incident, Ye Qing felt more and more that there was a long way to go in the road of scientific breeding in rural areas, and this project must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
At noon, Qiao Youqing came to the village and brought Ye Qing two pieces of bad news.
One was the medicine package he brought to the Provincial Agricultural Science Bureau. The test and analysis results came out, and it did contain several harmful ingredients, including the hormones and opium mentioned by Ye Qing, which were seriously above the standard.
In addition to this, after receiving the news, the provincial capital also began to fully investigate the problem of cows having dystocia after consuming poppy powder. Initial feedback was received from the agricultural bureaus of several counties, and cows were experiencing dystocia. It is still unknown whether it was caused by consuming poppy powder, but it is very likely that this group of reactionaries has spread the drug plan to the surrounding areas, and Jiaotan County is definitely not the only one affected.
This news made Ye Qing's heart tighten.
Her flying needles could at most solve the troubles of the surrounding production brigades and military farms, but it would be very tricky for other counties to encounter this situation. It was hard to imagine how many cows would get into trouble and how much loss would be caused.
At this time, Ye Qing became more and more aware of the shortage of manpower, and the importance of training more flying needle professionals became more and more apparent.
Qiao Youqing was also very busy with such a big case and had no time to delay any longer. After saying goodbye to Ye Qing, he left in a hurry again.
Ye Qing didn't have time to think about anything else and quickly went to find Captain Wu to bring up her plan to recruit Meng Jia as his assistant.
"In addition, if there are children in our village who want to study medicine, as long as they have attended junior high school, they can come to me and try. I will test their background and if they are suitable, I will take them in as apprentices. It doesn't matter whether they are human or veterinary medicine.
