Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Technology Failure
Hejia Village was relatively peaceful for the next period of time, and the people who bought the jobs did not cause any trouble after moving into Hejia Village.
The farm's hundreds of acres of land were meticulously divided into several large areas, each planted with pumpkins, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and cabbage. With everything ready and waiting for the seeds to germinate, the farm staff had a rare moment of leisure.
However, this peace of mind didn't last long. A meeting regarding the construction of a breeding farm in Hejia Village immediately stirred up unrest. Not only did some villagers want to switch to easier, more lucrative jobs, but people from the county town were also eyeing jobs at the farm.
All of a sudden, people were trying to find connections, people were giving gifts, and people were watching the fun. Hejia Village, which had only more than 200 permanent residents, suddenly became as lively as a town of a thousand people.
He Junxia's family was among those who came to watch the fun.
Zeng Xiuping and He Chengcai are both team leaders. Their basic salary is almost twice as high as that of their team members, and they can also get a 1% commission on the grain when the crops are harvested. They have never thought about changing jobs.
Besides, they have been working in the fields since they were young and have been doing it for most of their lives. They have long been accustomed to this intensity of work and cannot and are unwilling to leave the land on which they depend for their survival.
He Junxia didn't intend to get involved.
He was very self-aware. The people in Hejia Village were able to get a job on the farm only because of the land expropriation. Otherwise, these positions would have been occupied by people with connections, big and small.
Even if a few villagers with knowledge of breeding are assigned to the farm, they are unlikely to be young and strong men.
…
One afternoon during the break, He Junxia felt it was too hot outside, so she didn't go to the mountains with He Junqiu to pick wild persimmons. After collecting her salary for the week, she stayed at home to "train" the two puppies.
The two puppies have gained a lot of weight. Their short legs support their chubby bodies, and their little butts and tails twist around, like two big glutinous rice balls.
He Junxia teased the two puppies with a meat bone. Wuyun suddenly barked wildly, and Zhima also started barking.
"Woof woof" "Woof woof woof"
The puppy's voice is crisp and tender, and it doesn't sound intimidating at all. Instead, it sounds cute and makes people want to tease it.
He Junxia rubbed a dog's head with one hand, and someone knocked on the iron outer door with great force, as if there was something urgent.
He Junxia asked: "Who is it?"
He was very sure that it was not a family member, otherwise Zhima and Wuyun would not have shouted at the same time.
"Xiao Xia, it's me, He Gen. My wife fell down, and I want to borrow your tricycle to take her to the hospital."
He Juanxia immediately stood up and opened the door: "I'll go with you."
He Gen was sweating profusely and was almost crying with anxiety. Seeing him was like seeing a life-saving straw, and he kept saying thank you.
"Hurry, hurry, where is my sister-in-law?"
He Gen ran ahead to lead the way, and He Junxia quickly followed on his tricycle. When they passed a soldier patrolling the village, he quickly waved and shouted, "He Gen's wife has fallen. Come on, help take her to the hospital."
The patrol team heard the sound and immediately ran over, and the group rushed towards Hegen's house.
He Gen's wife Hong Zhifang fell to the ground with a pale face, constantly shouting that her stomach hurt, and there was a pool of blood on the ground.
Fortunately, the old people in the village heard the noise and rushed over to help. Knowing that the two young people were panicked and at a loss, they quickly prepared the things needed for childbirth while Hegen went out to borrow a car.
Someone put a thick quilt in the hard compartment, and several people carefully lifted Hong Zhifang and put her into the tricycle. A big bag was also stuffed into He Gen's arms.
He Junxia immediately pedaled the tricycle hard when he saw that the person was lying steadily, but there was an adult lying in the tricycle, and the force required to pedal was several times greater than when the tricycle was empty, so he could not increase the speed.
He Junxia turned around and shouted, "Come on, some people, push from behind."
Before he could finish his words, four or five young soldiers grabbed the guardrails of the tricycle. Several of them pushed and ran after it, and the tricycle finally picked up speed. It soon drove out of Hejia Village.
Hong Zhifang was lying in the car. The pain in her lower abdomen and the continued blood loss made her dizzy and she could only see blurry shadows.
She was a very young girl, only 23 years old, and had just married into Hejia Village last June. Now she was suddenly faced with this situation, and she felt like the sky was falling.
"Hogen, am I going to die?"
"Mom, mom, where are you, He Gen, where is my mom, I want to see my mom."
"I want to go home. It hurts so much. I want to go home."
The sound of her cries of pain was unbearable to hear. He Junxia tried to comfort her, but Hong Zhifang was completely panicked and could not listen at all. She just kept crying and shouting for her mother.
He Junxia yelled at He Gen, who was at a loss beside the car, "What are you still standing there for? Do you want your wife and children to be safe?"
He Gen was stunned by the yelling.
He Juanxia didn't have time to care about his emotions and ordered directly: "Go, hold your wife's hand, tell her that everything is fine with you around, and let her calm down."
Although he had not yet been assigned to obstetrics during his internship at the hospital and could not provide much help to Hong Zhifang, he still remembered what his teaching teacher had said: the patient's emotions are very important.
Emotions, or will, can even determine a person's life or death.
In such a critical moment, if even the patient himself chooses to give up and fall into negative emotions, even the best doctor will be powerless to save the patient.
He Gen came back to his senses after hearing He Junxia's scolding.
He ran after the car, holding Hong Zhifang's weak hand tightly and choking with sobs, "Wife, don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm here, I will always be with you."
"We're almost to the hospital. You'll be fine."
"Have you forgotten? We gave the children nicknames yesterday. The boy will be Yangyang and the girl will be Lele. You have to watch them grow up. Otherwise, what if they get bullied in the future?"
"And our mother, someone has already told her the news, she will be here soon, you have to hold on."
The more He Gen spoke, the sadder and more upset he became, and in the end he burst into tears.
Fortunately, his words finally worked. Hong Zhifang slowly calmed down and no longer cried meaninglessly like before.
He Junxia breathed a sigh of relief.
Several people worked together and successfully sent the person to the County People's Hospital within half an hour. Watching Hong Zhifang being carried away on a stretcher by medical staff, He Gen instantly collapsed and sat on the ground gasping for breath.
He Junxia was fine, except that her legs were sore.
He sat utterly unassumingly on the steps in front of the hospital, vigorously massaging his aching calves. With the amount of exercise he'd done today, if he didn't massage quickly to help absorb the lactic acid, the pain would last at least three or four days.
He Junxia rubbed it for a long time, then turned around and saw He Gen still sitting on the ground, seemingly still in shock. She couldn't help but pull him up and said, "Don't sit there like an idiot. Come in quickly."
Several soldiers who came to help followed us to the emergency room. As a husband, you were still sitting on the ground. What a disgrace.
He Junxia couldn't help but complain in his heart.
But it's easy for him to say that. Everyone's psychological endurance is different, especially when facing the danger of their closest people.
At first, He Gen was holding his breath, just thinking about getting the patient to the hospital as soon as possible. Now that he was really at the hospital and saw the patient being taken away by doctors and nurses, he felt relieved and the tension in his mind eased.
An empty mind naturally can't think of anything else.
He Gen was poked by He Junxia, and he stood up shakily. He walked into the hospital carrying a large backpack and waited in front of the emergency room door.
He Junxia did not follow.
There was a bunch of people waiting in front of the operating room, and he didn't need to go over to join them. Besides, he had to watch the tricycle.
Currently, only bicycles and pedal-powered tricycles, which are powered by human power and do not require electricity, diesel, or other energy sources, can be used.
The price of a pedal tricycle has been driven up to several hundred yuan. If he leaves and no one is watching the tricycle, a bold person will take the opportunity to steal it and sell it. He will have no place to cry.
After all, the surveillance was cut off long ago.
He Junxia glanced around and found that all the work in the People's Hospital was in good order, and the procedures for seeing a doctor had not changed much from before the technology failed.
This shows that the county government is well managed.
He Junxia searched his pockets, but of course he didn't take out any cigarettes, only a handful of fruit candies.
He waved to a few children playing with a ball on the side of the road and said, "Kids, do you want some candy?"
Children: ...
Children: "Bad guys are here to catch children, run away."
The children scattered in a hurry.
