"I shouldn't have called you here. You haven't started a family yet. Go back quickly." Aunt Guilan saw that the two young men were frightened and drove them back.
"No need, we'll just watch from outside." Yuan Jing waved his hand and looked outside, "Aunt, Brother Jiang is here, and he brought Elder Zhang with him."
"It's good that you're here, it's good that you're here." Niu Guilan felt that as long as Mr. Zhang was here, there would be no problem. She regarded Zhang Heliu as a miracle doctor and didn't care whether he could deliver a baby or not, because Zhang Heliu not only helped her son's legs, but even her eyes improved a lot after taking several prescriptions prescribed by Zhang Heliu.
"Doctor Zhang is here." Someone in the yard also saw it and shouted.
Niu Youhe's family immediately ran out to greet Zhang Heliu, treating him as a savior. Niu Youhe almost knelt down for him. When Zhang Heliu arrived, he didn't say anything extra. He just said, "I'll go in and take a look first, but you should still be prepared to send him to the hospital."
"Okay, old doctor, please come in."
Zhang Heliu brought the golden needles and the first aid medicine, and went into the delivery room. He stayed there for half an hour before coming out. It was so cold that sweat broke out on his forehead. He said, "It's okay. It depends on the midwife."
Another half an hour passed and Zhang Heliu did not leave, ready to go back in to help at any time. The baby's first cry was finally heard in the delivery room. Niu Youhe's parents finally smiled, thanking God and Zhang Heliu. Niu Youhe almost stumbled and fell to the ground, then rushed over to see his wife and newborn child.
"Mother and child are safe, don't worry. You really have to thank Dr. Zhang this time. Without Dr. Zhang's help, this would have been a disaster."
Niu Youhe's family members finally felt relieved and turned around to thank Zhang Heliu. Zhang Heliu waved his hand. He was very happy to help the woman in labor and said, "I'll go in and check her pulse after everything is cleaned up. If there's nothing wrong, I'll go back."
"Okay, thank you, thank you, you are our family's benefactor." You should know that before Zhang Heliu came, the midwife said that if the child could not be born, both adults and children would be in trouble, and it is very likely that two lives would be lost, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a benefactor.
Niu Youhe's mother turned back to the house, packed up a dozen eggs, half a pound of sugar and two pounds of fine white flour, put them all in a basket, and came out and handed it to Zhang Heliu as a thank you gift. Zhang Heliu declined it at first but then accepted it. The four old men and women really needed it and could not rely solely on Jiang Qingshan and Yuan Jing for help.
Seeing that the villagers around him were no longer wary of him, Zhang Heliu was very happy about these medical visits and saving lives. Perhaps it could improve the situation of the four people in the cowshed. They didn't need the villagers to be too close to them, lest the news get to the ears of those people in the Revolutionary Committee. As long as everyone didn't treat them as class enemies, it would be enough.
Jiang Qingshan and Yuan Jing sent Zhang Heliu back together, and Chen Jianhua followed them eagerly. In the past, if the villagers saw them walking with Zhang Heliu, they would definitely talk behind their backs, but now everyone thought it was normal. Wasn't Doctor Zhang called here by Secretary Niu's nephew? It was normal to send him back now, and even if they were seen interacting with each other in the future, it would not be strange.
Zhang Heliu told Jiang Qingshan and Yuan Jing: "Don't go to the cowshed on weekdays. Come every other night."
Yuan Jing responded: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, we won't be careless."
Zhang Heliu was very pleased, and let them go back halfway. He carried the basket back himself. The things in the basket could also help the four old guys to recuperate.
At Niu Youhe's home, the midwife came out and told how Doctor Zhang saved the life. That was acupuncture with golden needles, which was not common outside. It showed that Doctor Zhang's medical skills were very superb. This matter spread throughout the brigade with Niu Youhe's home as the center. The villagers kept this matter in mind. In the future, if they had a headache or fever, they would not have to go to the town hospital. They could just ask Doctor Zhang for help, which saved money and time.
Half a month later, an old man from the village came to Zhang Heliu. He had suffered from cold legs for many years. When he couldn't stand it anymore, he would apply some plasters. But now the plasters were not very effective. The weather was cold and wet recently. His legs were so stiff that he could hardly walk, and he couldn't sleep at night because of the pain.
Zhang Heliu took his pulse and wrote out a prescription, but he didn't have many medicinal herbs, so the old man needed to find someone to make the ointment himself, or he could find all the herbs and send them to him, and he could help his fellow villager make it.
The medicinal materials were not very expensive, so the old man asked his children and grandchildren to collect the medicine from the village and send it to Zhang Heliu without bothering two people. He started to apply the ointment as soon as it was ready, and it was very effective. Two days later, the old man was able to walk around and sleep well at night. He walked around the village, allowing the villagers to have a deeper understanding of Zhang Heliu's medical skills. There were several people who came to him to treat their chronic cold legs.
When these villagers went to the cowshed to see Zhang Heliu for treatment, they would bring some food with them, even just two eggs, which was much better than before. Especially Niu Youhe, when his wife was in confinement, he brought his brothers to reinforce a leaky wall on the cowshed side, and also went up the mountain to chop a large bundle of firewood and sent it over.
