Chapter 271 Honest Person
"And the other one?"
"Xiang Fei, 19 years old, from Beijing."
"Skills and all that, why go to the countryside?"
The three of them shook their heads in unison, and Yi Chichi understood immediately that this was what Xiang Zhiqing meant because he was tight-lipped and didn't ask.
Lang Zhiqing was quite open-minded and explained his situation to everyone on the first night he arrived.
"Did Lang Zhiqing study medicine?"
"Her mother is a doctor in the factory hospital. She grew up in the hospital. Because her sister is in poor health, she has to take care of her sister when her mother is not available. She has a certain understanding of medical knowledge and injections."
Yi Chichi's first reaction was to look at medical equipment such as syringes and infusion sets.
Wang Nan noticed her gaze and jokingly asked, "Are you a little worried that she will steal your job?"
Yi Chichi smiled and thought that if she had real ability, she could give up her identity as a nurse.
But she didn't plan to tell this to Wang Nan and the others. People talk a lot, so it's better not to give people hope before it's confirmed.
So, she replied no and changed the subject with a smile.
Wang Nan and the others were going to work in the fields, so they came over to gossip with her during lunch break. When the loud speaker sounded, they grabbed the straw hats placed beside them and put them on their heads, then stood up and said, "Chi Chi, we are going to work. We will come to play with you next time."
"good!"
Yi Chichi got up and saw the person off, then went to the backyard to fetch some water to water the young medicinal seedlings in the medicine field.
It has not rained for half a month, and the sun has been quite strong these past few days. Although it has not reached high temperatures yet, some of the medicinal seedlings in the medicinal fields cannot withstand the sun.
It can't stand being dried.
Manual watering is required.
Just after watering a piece of land, Uncle Yaozi came back panting, with a medicine box hanging on his chest and a bulging sack on his shoulder.
"Come quickly and sort out the herbs inside."
“Here it comes!”
Yi Chichi put the gourd ladle in his hand into the bucket and then walked to the sack, opened it, and poured out the herbs inside.
There are many varieties and the quality is not bad.
She wondered, "Aren't you going to see a doctor? Where did you get so many herbs?"
Such a short time was not enough for him to go up the mountain to collect herbs and bring back so many.
"I bought it from the old white guy."
Yi Chichi was stunned for a moment before he realized who the old man was.
Thinking of the way the old man was intercepted by Uncle Yaozi on the mountain and asked for both money and tickets, she smiled and asked, "Did you ask for tickets this time?"
"have."
Uncle Yaozi put his hands on his hips and took a deep breath, "Ten industrial tickets, one two-liang sugar ticket, one wine ticket and three dollars and eighty cents."
The price is not expensive, it is cheaper than selling at the purchasing station.
It's all about the ticket.
Yi Chichi, who has experience selling medicinal materials at the purchasing station, said with emotion, "The old man is a kind person."
“It’s really kind.”
The key is that he has a good relationship with his father. They have been friends for decades, so he will subconsciously take care of him.
"Chichi, do you have any industrial tickets?"
"There are a few more."
"Bring me two tomorrow. Your aunt doesn't have enough industrial tickets at home. She only has eight."
Yi Chichi nodded and said yes, then asked her if she had sugar and wine coupons, and Uncle Yaozi said yes.
Then, the topic ended there, and the father and son squatted together and chatted while sorting the medicinal herbs.
As they chatted, Uncle Yaozi seemed to remember something and asked her, "Have you seen the new educated youth?"
"No, they went to the commune to buy things."
According to Wang Nan and her friends, they had left home very early. Both of them came with nothing, just a small suitcase with nothing but a few sets of spare clothes, shoes and socks and toiletries.
There are many things that need to be supplemented.
"Lang Zhiqing has medical experience."
"If there is, then there is. It's not a big deal..."
He couldn't continue talking here subconsciously. What did this girl mean by this? After thinking for a few seconds, he hesitated and said, "Don't you want to be a hygienist?"
“That’s a little idea.”
Yi Chi Chi did not hide it, "You see, I can't see patients. Apart from sewing, giving injections, cleaning wounds and handling medicinal materials, I am not good at anything else. If Lang Zhiqing is really better than me in medical care, it would be a good idea to let her be a hygienist."
But these are not what Yi Chichi values most. What she values most is that "she can lighten your burden better than I can, so you don't have to shoulder all the burden."
"You haven't even seen it, but you know it so clearly."
Uncle Yaozi couldn't help but retort to her, but Yi Chichi didn't get angry either. He presented facts and reasoned with him to analyze the benefits of Lang Zhiqing being a medical worker.
"As long as her medical knowledge is better than mine, she can go out to see patients independently, and you can let her do it when you want to slack off."
"Farm work is hard. In order to avoid the hardship and keep her job as a health worker, she dared not prick her eyes."
"Other than that..."
She pointed out the issues one by one, and Uncle Yaozi was very excited. He felt that if things really developed as she expected, it would be a good thing for him.
That's right, "If you don't work as a hygienist, you'll have to work in the fields."
"No."
Yi Chichi was determined not to go to the fields. It was too hard and too tiring, and she really couldn't bear the hardship of working in the fields.
There's no point in slacking off, and she would feel guilty when she saw those hardworking people in the village.
"I embroider at home. Anyway, the price given by the Friendship Store is enough for me to have food and clothing."
This means not going to the fields or participating in grain distribution, and being willing to use money and tickets to buy grain from the team.
Thinking of the income from one of her embroidery pieces and the money and notes that Wen Shi sent back every month, Uncle Yaozi said, "Let me observe Comrade Lang for a while before we decide."
As a result, the inspection lasted until the end of spring planting.
Then, Lang Hong received a loudspeaker announcement.
"Lang Zhiqing, if you hear the broadcast, come to the team doctor's office."
Lang Hong was squatting in the yard brushing her shoes. She was stunned when she heard the broadcast. Why were they asking her to go to the team doctor's office? She wasn't sick.
"What are you standing there for? Go quickly."
Seeing her squatting in front of the basin where her shoes were soaking with a brush in her hand, Ge Sujuan couldn't help but urge her.
"oh oh."
She put down the brush, washed her hands, straightened her clothes, and then went to the team doctor's office with a nervous look on her face.
But before she had time to say hello, the captain extended his hand to her with a smile, "Comrade Lang, I want to ask you something. Are you willing to be a medical worker in Kaoshan Village?"
Lang Hong's eyes suddenly widened, "I, work as a hygienist?"
She pointed at herself in disbelief, and the captain nodded, "Yes, you will be the medic."
When Lang Hong heard this, her first reaction was not happiness, but to look at Yi Chichi, "Comrade Yi, you don't want to be a hygienist anymore?"
"Your medical knowledge is more solid than mine."
Yi Chichi smiled and affirmed her skills, praising her, "You are more suitable to be a hygienist than me."
Lang Hong was silent. To be honest, she didn't want to go to the countryside voluntarily, but reality forced her to come. Before coming, she was mentally prepared to take root in the black soil and farm the land steadily.
Health workers or something...
I dare not think about it.
Because she is an outsider, such a good job as a hygienist must be given to our own people first.
Theoretically speaking, it is a bit difficult to train a barefoot doctor, but it is not difficult to train a health worker who can dispense medicine and give injections.
This is also the reason why she never thought about anything else after going to the countryside and just worked hard.
