Chapter 314: Did you eat cannonballs today?
Back in the car, Wu Yue couldn't help but complain to Lu Chen: "Aunt Qin doesn't seem to be very friendly to me."
Lu Chen glanced at him and said, "If you want a wife, show your thick skin. Just do what you should do and don't care what she does."
"That's right." Wu Yue nodded. Seeing that Lu Chen's face was not very good, he asked him, "Why do you look unhappy?"
"Are you happy when your wife goes out for several months?"
Wu Yue: "Going out? Where did you go?"
"The medical team has gone to support the mountainous area." Lu Chen said simply.
"Why not let someone else go?" Wu Yue asked.
Lu Chen gave him a sidelong look: "You ask me, who should I ask?"
Wu Yue: "Okay, okay, just pretend I didn't ask."
Lu Chen stepped on the accelerator, the car sped up a lot, and the scenery on both sides of the road quickly receded.
"By the way, drive to the group tomorrow morning to pick me up and go see Lin Ya." Wu Yue reminded.
"I'm not your driver. Can't you drive? If not, let Xiao Wei take you there." Lu Chen retorted directly.
"No... Did you take a dump this morning? I say something and you retort to me." Wu Yue raised his eyebrows and glared at him.
"Old Wu, I'm not in a good mood. Please be more understanding." Lu Chen said.
Wu Yue chuckled twice: "I really didn't realize that your wife is really capable and has stolen your heart. You are known for being heartless and have broken the hearts of many young girls. This time, there is finally someone who can control you."
Lu Chen exhaled slowly: "You, a single dog, won't understand this feeling."
Wu Yue almost jumped up from the passenger seat when he heard this: "You called me a dog? What do you mean being single means being a dog?"
Lu Chen chuckled twice: "I heard Nuonuo say that before. Others are not bad if they are single, but you are."
"Go to hell! You're a dog! You've been living this kind of life for twenty-six or twenty-seven years, how dare you say that to me?" Wu Yue cursed.
While these two people were bickering in the car, Xu Nuo had already been enjoying the scenery in the car for half a day.
Although the countryside is poor, the scenery is beautiful.
After a morning and half an afternoon of bumpy ride, Xu Nuo finally arrived at his destination.
The measure adopted this time to support the mountainous areas is "dividing the work into pieces", with one doctor and two nurses jointly responsible for one administrative village, making rounds during the day and summarizing data at night.
The village that Xu Nuo is in charge of this time is called Lujia Village. As the name suggests, there are more families with the surname Lu in this village.
The village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the roads in the village are all bumpy dirt roads. There is three feet of dirt when there is no wind, and the ground is muddy when it rains.
The team leader left Xu Nuo, Jin Yue, Zhou Ling and the necessary vaccines and medicines behind, and then led the team to the next place in a hurry.
The township has held a meeting to inform the party secretary and village head of each village that a medical team will be sent to help eradicate the measles epidemic.
After learning the arrival time of the medical team, Village Party Secretary Lu Mancang and village cadres came to greet them.
Xu Nuo, carrying a heavy medical box, was heading towards the village branch with Jin Yue and Zhou Ling when they saw a group of people coming towards the village entrance from afar.
"Xu Nuo, are those the people who are here to welcome us?" Jin Yue said.
"Eighty percent of it is." Xu Nuo stopped and took a breath. "Didn't our Captain Liu say that? The township has held a meeting, and each village will send people to help arrange the work."
Jin Yue couldn't help but complain: "Captain Liu is too anxious, isn't he? He just left us and left us alone. We need to take care of everything."
"This is more efficient." Zhou Ling interjected, "Otherwise, we would have to carry the medicines from the towns and villages ourselves."
Xu Nuo nodded: "Zhou Ling is right."
The original plan was to have a carload of people arrive at the township, and after the tasks were assigned, they would wait for the village heads and cadres to drive ox carts over to take people and medicines back to their own villages.
But on the way, Captain Liu found out that although these villages are in the mountains, they all have main roads for easy traffic.
So, in order to save time, they just drove over there and dropped the person off when they reached their respective responsibility area.
"You are... the doctors coming from above to support us, right?" The village party secretary Lu Mancang, who led the team, trotted over to Xu Nuo and asked.
"Yes, you are Secretary Lu, right?" Xu Nuo took the initiative to extend his hand. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Xu Nuo, and I am the main doctor in our village. These two are Jin Yue and Zhou Ling, who are my assistants. The three of us are responsible for the medical work of our Lujia Village."
Lu Mancang stretched out his hand and hurriedly shook hands with Xu Nuo. When he saw her clean white hands, he looked at his own hands which were covered in dirt. He rubbed them on his clothes twice before shaking hands with her.
"Comrade doctor, you may have finally made it. We have all been waiting for you for a long time! Welcome! A warm welcome!"
"Thank you! Thank you, Secretary Lu!"
"Why are you being so polite?" Secretary Lu turned around and briefly introduced the village cadres behind him, "Zhang Junmin, this is our village chief. Liu Zhihua is the village accountant. Li Chunlan is the director of women's affairs, and... there are too many. I will introduce them to you slowly later."
Xu Nuo smiled and nodded, greeting everyone one by one.
Then she said, "Where are our accommodation and work arrangements? I'll get to know the situation with you and we'll get started as soon as possible."
"Okay, okay, come on, follow me." Lu Mancang led the way and led the three people to the village branch.
The village branch of Lujia Village is a large courtyard with a structure similar to a quadrangle.
The village’s medical clinic is located in the village branch office. In addition, there is also a broadcasting room, an accounting office, and a conference room.
In addition, there is another room left, which is usually not used for much and is used to store some miscellaneous items.
Now that they knew Xu Nuo and the others were coming, the villagers cleaned up the house and laid out a large bunk bed for the three of them to sleep on.
Women's director Li Chunlan helped the three people arrange accommodation. As for the issue of meals, she designated a family to deliver meals to them every day.
By the time everything was arranged, it was already dusk.
While there was still some time, Xu Nuo said to Lu Mancang, "Secretary Lu, do you think we can hold a meeting after dinner? I will tell the villagers about vaccines and disease prevention and treatment?"
Lu Mancang readily agreed: "Okay, that's no problem. I'll open the broadcasting room and broadcast a song on the loudspeaker right away."
So, at this evening when smoke was rising from every household, Lu Mancang's voice was heard from the loudspeaker under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village.
"Attention, villagers. After dinner, everyone gather at the village office. The doctors sent by the higher authorities will come to treat us..."
In a small courtyard in the northeast corner of the village, Lu Laoer was sitting on the doorstep smoking a pipe. After hearing the broadcast, he knocked on his pipe, stood up and walked out.
Mu Pingping came out of the house carrying a pot of mung bean soup. Seeing her father-in-law was about to go out, she asked him, "Dad, it's time for dinner. Where are you going?"
Lü Lao Er replied, "I heard that the higher-ups sent a doctor. I remember Mancang said before that he was sent by the military hospital. I wondered if Dr. Xiao Xu was among those who came, so I went to the village branch to take a look first."
