Heatstroke among educated youth is not a big problem.
It is the hottest time of the year now, so it is normal for people who have not done this kind of farm work often to not be able to adapt for a while.
Zhou Ziwen estimates that this situation will continue to occur, especially among the educated youth in the Youth League Institute and the elderly and frail villagers in the village.
Zhou Ziwen knew that some measures must be taken to prevent heatstroke during the upcoming autumn harvest.
As the village health worker, he was naturally responsible for this task.
In the fields, Zhou Ziwen found Wu Dagang and Zhou Weiguo who were organizing everyone to work.
"Uncle Wu, Captain Zhou, I see that the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Just now, an educated youth suffered from heatstroke. We have to think of a way to solve the problem." Zhou Ziwen found Wu Dagang and Zhou Weiguo and seriously put forward his opinion.
Wu Dagang nodded in agreement: "Well, I heard about what happened just now. You are right. We must take this matter seriously and we cannot take it lightly."
"Yes, Uncle Wu, I'm going to prepare some herbal tea and anti-heat medicine for everyone to use at any time to prevent heatstroke."
Zhou Ziwen spoke.
"Okay, then I'll leave this to you. You and Zhu Jianguo can work together! Don't do the work in the fields."
Wu Dagang spoke.
"It's okay. I'll just teach Zhu Jianguo how to make it. Herbal tea and anti-heat medicine are not difficult to make. Uncle Wu can just arrange for a few aunties to help."
Zhou Ziwen waved his hand.
He is a big laborer, one man is equivalent to five or six people.
If he didn't like to show off, he could do the work of ten people.
"Okay, go get it first!"
Wu Dagang also knew that Zhou Ziwen was a skilled worker.
If he could help with the autumn harvest, everyone would be more relaxed.
Zhou Ziwen said goodbye to Wu Dagang and Zhou Weiguo and took action immediately.
He first found Zhu Jianguo and told him his ideas and plans.
"Jianguo, we need to prepare a large amount of herbal tea and anti-heat medicine. You come with me and we will act separately." Zhou Ziwen said to Zhu Jianguo.
Zhu Jianguo nodded and agreed: "Okay, Ziwen, I'll listen to you."
After a while, several older aunts and grandmas came to the clinic.
"Zhou Zhiqing, we're here to help. We'll do whatever you say."
An old lady spoke up.
"Okay, thank you, Aunt Chen."
Zhou Ziwen smiled and nodded.
Then the two of them divided the work. Zhu Jianguo was responsible for processing the summer-heat-relieving herbs and preparing the raw materials for herbal tea, while Zhou Ziwen was responsible for making allocations and arranging the aunts and grandmas who came to help boil the medicine.
Under Zhou Ziwen's arrangement, several aunts and grandmas in the village also became busy.
They set up a big pot under a big tree at the entrance of the village and started to make herbal tea.
After the tea and anti-heat medicine were ready, he and everyone else moved the tea and anti-heat medicine to where the villagers were working.
"Everyone, please pay attention. This is the herbal tea we prepared. Everyone can drink it to relieve the summer heat." Zhou Ziwen announced loudly, and at the same time explained to everyone the effects and drinking methods of the herbal tea.
The villagers came forward and took bowls of herbal tea. After drinking it, they all felt a sense of coolness and expressed their gratitude to Zhou Ziwen.
"Ziwen, this herbal tea is really good. I feel much better after drinking it." A villager said with a smile.
"Yes, thanks to you, we can work better." A villager also echoed.
With herbal tea and anti-heat medicine, the problem of heatstroke has been solved.
When you feel hot and thirsty, come and drink a bowl of herbal tea, which will quench your thirst and cool you down at the same time.
At this time, Zhou Ziwen returned to his workplace and worked with the members of the Mushroom Group.
In the middle of the process, a joke happened.
When one of the educated youths saw that Li Lanhua had heatstroke, Wu Dagang gave her a day off.
Now someone started to think about it.
One of them was an educated youth named Zhang Zhiqiang. He was one of the educated youth who went to the countryside with Li Lanhua.
Seeing Li Lanhua go back to rest, he started to play tricks and pretended to faint.
But this guy's acting skills were not good. Before Zhou Ziwen could get over, the villagers found out that he was pretending.
Everyone looked at him with contempt.
Some aunties and grandmas were even pointing and talking at him, and their mouths were not idle either.
As a result, the boy was too thin-skinned to pretend to be unconscious and was scolded by the team leader instead.
In the next few days, although the weather was still hot, due to the effective preventive measures taken, the villagers and educated youth were able to better adapt to the autumn harvest work and no more cases of heat stroke occurred.
Early that morning, Zhou Ziwen was awakened by the village radio as usual.
With his physique, he didn't feel tired after working for so many days in a row.
But the educated youth in the Youth Academy were different, especially those who had just gone to the countryside not long ago.
These young educated youth usually live in the city and rarely have the opportunity to engage in such high-intensity farm work. The autumn harvest is both a novel experience and a severe test for them.
After several days of intense labor, the educated youth began to experience varying degrees of physical discomfort. Some, due to lack of physical labor, began to feel sore in their hands and feet, and some even developed blisters on their hands.
Many of them were so tired when they returned to the Youth League Home at night that they hardly wanted to talk and just wanted to fall asleep.
After several days of high-intensity farm work, the educated youth did feel unprecedented fatigue and challenges.
Many of them began to complain, and some even began to back out.
As fatigue and discomfort accumulated, some young people in the Youth League began to gather together, and their complaints gradually evolved into dissatisfaction and resistance to the status quo.
"We didn't come here to do hard labor. We can't stand this kind of work!" said an educated youth angrily.
"Yes, we demand improved working conditions, and we also want to rest!" another educated youth echoed.
With someone taking the lead, the educated youth became excited and began to gather together, preparing to express their demands to the production team.
Some of them even proposed to go on strike to express their dissatisfaction.
The news quickly reached the ears of Captain Zhou Weiguo and Wu Dagang. The two looked at each other and saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.
"That won't do. Autumn harvest is a big deal and we can't let it be delayed because of these young people's momentary impulse." Zhou Weiguo said in a deep voice.
Wu Dagang nodded in agreement: "We must take measures to calm this storm."
"I think these guys deserve to be punished. At such an important time as the autumn harvest, they actually dared to jump out and cause trouble. This kind of behavior must be severely punished."
Zhou Weiguo slammed the table and said with a dark face.
He knew that problems would easily arise if too many educated youth went to the countryside.
Now, isn't that the problem? (End of this chapter)
