Chapter 315: Questioning and Heckling
Mu Pingping hurriedly stopped him: "Dad, don't go now. It's time to eat. If you eat, others have to eat too."
"Yes, Dad." Lu Kai opened the curtain and walked out of the room. "Let's eat first, then go. We don't need to wait any longer."
After his son and daughter-in-law persuaded him together, Lu Laoer had no choice but to agree.
After dinner, the sky became completely dark, and a crescent moon hung obliquely in the sky. The villagers came out of their homes in groups of three or four and went to the village branch.
A large and bright lamp was installed in the yard of the village branch. Two tables were placed under the lamp. Xu Nuo, Jin Yue and Zhou Ling were sitting beside the tables recording something.
By the time Lu Laoer and his son arrived, the yard was almost full of people.
When Lu Kai saw the person sitting in the middle, he immediately became excited.
"Dad, look, it really is Doctor Xu."
"Isn't it? It's fate! It's really fate!" Lu Laoer didn't expect that he would meet Xu Nuo here.
"Then let's go over and say hello?" Lu Kai asked.
"Don't go yet. You'll disturb her work. Let's wait until she is not busy and then invite her to dinner in private." Lu Laoer said.
"That's fine." Lu Laoer is the head of the family, and as a son, you just need to listen to your father.
As soon as the father and son sat down, they heard several women around them talking while cracking melon seeds.
"Hey, why did you send such a young doctor to us?"
"Who said it wasn't? At such a young age, what can you do?"
"Is this even possible? This youngster's skills are definitely not as good as those of the older ones."
"Is that even necessary?"
Lu Laoer and his son could not bear to listen any longer. They thought that these old women were just ignorant and thought that young people had no medical skills.
"Aunt Shi, you are wrong. You all know about my Junjun's measles, right? He almost died, and it was Doctor Xu who cured him. His medical skills are very good." Lu Kai came over and explained.
"Is this true?" Aunt Shi turned around and looked at Lu Kai. "You are not lying to us, are you?"
"Why would I lie to you?" Lu Kai said innocently, "Can I lie to you about your money or your house?"
"Humph." Aunt Shi rolled her eyes. "You know whether it's a lie or not."
Who in this village doesn't know that Lu Mancang is Lu Laoer's cousin?
No matter what job Lu Mancang does, Lu Laoer's family will unconditionally support him.
"Hey, why are you talking like that? I'm just reminding you not to look at people with that old-fashioned perspective..."
Before Lu Kai could finish his words, Aunt Shi retorted: "I just look down on people. What does this have to do with you? You have your own problems every day. Why do you want to join us in the fun?"
Lu Kai: “…”
Lu Lao Er waved his hand at his son and said, "Forget it, don't tell them that it's useless."
When Xu Nuo sorted out his information and looked up, the whole yard suddenly seemed to be in an uproar, and even the gangster whistles were sounded.
"Oh, what is this superior thinking? Why did he send us so many people? They all look young and pretty!"
"Are you here to help us? Can you endure the hardship?"
“Who says it’s not?”
The discussion became louder, so Lu Mancang hurriedly slammed the table, signaling everyone to quiet down.
"Are we almost all here?" Xu Nuo asked.
"That's almost it, Dr. Xu, you can start." Lu Mancang said.
Xu Nuo nodded and stood up from her seat. After briefly introducing herself and her assistant, she began to explain the incidence of measles.
"Fellow villagers, the measles outbreak in our village is serious right now. The village party secretary said that this is a large village with 2,000 households, and 300 to 400 of them have been infected. If we don't take preventive and treatment measures, the situation will only get worse. So, let me first tell you about the symptoms of measles."
"First, after being infected with the virus, there is generally an incubation period of six to eighteen days. During this stage, the patient has no symptoms, but is already contagious. Next, three to four days later, the patient will have a fever, with the temperature as high as 39 degrees Celsius, accompanied by symptoms such as coughing and runny nose. Then there is the rash period, when a large area of the skin will have a rash."
"After that, over three or four days, the rash will appear on the lower legs, and the body temperature will slowly return to normal, and the systemic symptoms will gradually disappear."
"So if you find any of the above symptoms, please hurry to see a doctor."
As soon as she finished speaking, someone shouted, "So this disease can heal on its own, why should we go to see a doctor? Isn't that a waste of money?"
This is what Xu Nuo is most worried about. She emphasized the latter: "Complications of measles are the most terrible, such as pneumonia, encephalitis, otitis media, and more serious cases can lead to blindness or even death."
"Doctor Xu." At this time, a young man stood up from the crowd. He looked to be in his early twenties, with dark skin, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and two rows of white teeth when he smiled. "Does it cost money to treat the disease? Didn't you say that it can be prevented? How can it be prevented? Can you tell me about this as well?"
His question just hit the nail on the head for Xu Nuo.
The corners of her mouth curved up, and two dimples appeared on her face. "That's a good question! We don't charge for treatment. We are here to help you treat your illness, and we will bear all the expenses. Since you mentioned prevention, this is what I will talk about next - vaccines."
"What is vaccine?" the young man asked again.
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of whistles broke out from the crowd.
"Erzhuzi, don't you understand what a vaccine is?"
"Are you playing dumb? Our village's epidemic prevention station came over to explain what vaccines are. Didn't you just join in the fun and listen?"
Erzhuzi turned around and glared at the group of people: "Go away! What are you doing? I am asking this question with a serious attitude of learning!"
"Erzhuzi, that's a good point." Xu Nuo smiled brightly, "Next, let me tell you about the role of vaccines."
"Okay!" Erzhuzi said loudly, "Doctor Xu, please tell us more. We lack this knowledge and really hope someone can tell us about it."
After Erzhuzi finished speaking seriously, the crowd burst into laughter again.
"Bullshit! Who would believe that?"
"Erzhuzi, you still want to learn knowledge? You can't even recognize all the characters in the first-grade textbook, and now you want to learn this kind of advanced knowledge?"
"Quiet down!" Lu Mancang slammed the table, reminding everyone, "This is a very serious matter. Why are you guys making so much noise? Old Zhang, Ermopan and Dababa, keep those brats of yours in check and make them quiet down."
Xu Nuo waited quietly for the scene to gradually quiet down before she said calmly, "Okay, let my assistant Jin Yue tell you about the effects of the vaccine."
