Today Zhou Ziwen took the barefoot doctor exam. The Chen sisters enthusiastically made dumplings to celebrate in advance that he became the village health worker.
They are called health workers, but in fact they are just barefoot doctors without a formal salary.
The term "barefoot doctor" refers to health workers like them.
"Hey, dumplings with beef and mutton fillings taste pretty good."
Looking at the two plates of dumplings specially placed on the table, Zhou Ziwen tasted them one by one and instantly discovered the difference.
"I made the beef filling, and my sister made the mutton filling." Chen Qiaoyi explained with a smile.
"Well, they all tasted good, especially the mutton. The mutton smell was handled very well."
Zhou Ziwen nodded in praise.
"If it tastes good, eat more." Chen Shiying smiled slightly and looked at Zhou Ziwen with tenderness.
Seeing that Zhou Ziwen was so busy every day and night, she was afraid that he couldn't handle it, so she specially prepared mutton for him to nourish his body.
She heard that mutton is very nutritious in this regard. Although she doesn't know if it is true, she wants to try it.
Anyway, there is still a lot of mutton at home, enough to last for a long time.
"Okay." Zhou Ziwen raised his eyebrows. It seemed that he had to work hard tonight.
Since his sister-in-law cares so much about his health, he has to show her the results.
Although he didn't need any nourishment given his physical condition, he still felt his sister-in-law's kindness.
That night, Zhou Ziwen stayed on his sister-in-law's kang for a while longer.
The next morning, Chen Shiying got up late again.
Even Chen Qiaoyi had been up for a while before Chen Shiying woke up from the kang.
The first thing the girl did when she got up was to go to the kitchen and glared at Zhou Ziwen fiercely.
"Sister, you got up late today!" Zhou Ziwen winked at her and smiled teasingly.
"Hmph!" Chen Shiying snorted coldly and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Why did she get up so late? It was all because of the man in front of her.
Although the feeling was addictive, she felt a little embarrassed after waking up.
She was in a lot of trouble last night.
Some actions make me blush just thinking about them.
"Haha!" Zhou Ziwen smiled complacently. He just wanted to let this girl know that he was very strong and did not need nourishment.
After breakfast, Zhou Ziwen opened the gate and looked at the sky outside.
It hasn't snowed for two days, and the snow outside has almost melted.
Although the road outside is a bit muddy due to the snow, it does not affect going out.
Zhou Ziwen greeted the Chen sisters who were still busy at home, then went out and walked towards the village guard team.
Today he plans to find Liu Si to see if he has time to teach him how to shoot.
He has been coveting the skill of marksmanship for a long time.
In this era, marksmanship is still very useful, especially in places like the countryside where every village has its own armed forces.
Zhou Ziwen wanted to learn how to shoot in order to have another way to protect himself.
It is true that no matter how good your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of a kitchen knife.
With his current level of boxing skills, he can't dodge bullets.
However, this does not mean that practicing boxing is useless. On the contrary, in his opinion, boxing is the foundation.
Only boxing can improve physical fitness.
As for shooting, in a few years this thing will no longer be useful, so he learned shooting just in case.
As far as he knew, the security conditions were relatively chaotic, especially during the period when the educated youth returned to the city.
Without some means of self-defense, you won’t have the confidence to go out.
I walked all the way to the guardhouse and met an acquaintance before I even entered the door.
"Ziwen, how come you have time to come to us?"
When he saw Zhou Ziwen, Zhang Yang immediately greeted him warmly.
"Don't you want to learn how to shoot from Brother Liu? Where is Brother Liu? Is he here?" Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
"Brother Liu is inside, and Captain Wang is here too." Zhang Yang talked to Zhou Ziwen while leading him into the house.
"Are you not busy these days?" Zhou Ziwen asked curiously.
"Well, what's there to be busy about these days? At most, I'll inspect the village and then go up the mountain to get some food. Oh, Brother Liu said we have to go up the mountain again tomorrow. Are you free? We can go together then!"
Speaking of going up the mountain, Zhang Yang's eyes lit up.
Zhou Ziwen has an excellent hunting dog. If they had that dog, they could have hunted more prey.
"It should be fine tomorrow. Just call me when you go up the mountain." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
It just so happened that he had nothing to do at home, so he could go up the mountain with the guards and get more prey.
Although there is no shortage of meat at home, who would complain about having too much meat?
As they were talking, Zhou Ziwen and Zhang Yang had already arrived at the door of the house.
Zhang Yang knocked on the door twice and without waiting for a response, he took Zhou Ziwen into the house.
After entering, he closed the door.
In this weather, it’s only warm when the door is closed.
The stove in the house was burning brightly, and the red charcoal brought warmth to people.
"Hey, Ziwen is here, come and sit down."
"Xiao Zhou is here, what a rare guest!"
In the room, Liu Si and Wang Hongbing both looked very happy to see Zhou Ziwen.
"Captain Wang, Brother Liu."
Zhou Ziwen also greeted them with a smile.
However, the closeness of the relationship can be seen from the way they address each other.
Wang Hongbing also noticed this problem and immediately laughed, "You are not a decent boy. You call Lao Si "Brother Liu" and call me "Captain."
"Haha, then I'll call you Brother Wang too!" Zhou Ziwen echoed.
He and Wang Hongbing didn't have much friendship, so since the other party wanted to get closer to him, there was no reason for him to refuse.
You know, Wang Hongbing is the captain of the guard team and the deputy captain of the production team. There is no harm in getting closer to him.
"That's right, just call him Brother Wang." Wang Hongbing grinned, took out a pack of cigarettes and distributed them to everyone in the room.
Zhou Ziwen doesn't smoke much, but he can't avoid it in such occasions.
As for men, they can establish friendship by smoking and drinking.
It is the hibernation season now, and there is nothing much to do on the guard team side, so it is basically in a semi-idle state.
Half of the people are resting and the other half are working, but the work is also very leisurely. Apart from patrolling on time and taking a walk around the village, they stay in the house all the time.
"I heard that Xiao Zhou, you went to take the barefoot doctor exam? Are you confident?" As one of the four giants in the village, Wang Hongbing is relatively well-informed.
"Well, the exam questions are not difficult, I should be able to pass." Zhou Ziwen smiled modestly.
"Haha, in that case, our production team will have one more medic." Wang Hongbing was a little happy, but also a little emotional. "Our guards all have some old problems, so you'll have to take good care of them in the future."
"No problem." Zhou Ziwen answered confidently.
Although his medical skills were still low, he had no problem being a barefoot doctor.
Since you want to treat others, you must first have confidence in yourself.
If you don't even have this little confidence, how can others believe that you can cure diseases?
Speaking of which, knowing medical skills is still beneficial. Whether you are sick or not, you will have a good relationship with him.
Not only can you cure a patient, but you can also gain his or her gratitude.
Just like when he treated the villagers two days ago, he collected a lot of local specialties afterwards.
It can be said that just by becoming a village health worker, he will never lack food in the future. (End of this chapter)
