Chapter 18 Only on the wall is it honest
Seeing her strange expression, Liao Zhixian quickly explained: "I have a classmate who studies medicine. He said this is the foundation of clinical medicine."
Qin Ju knew, of course, that Mr. He had taught her before, but without a model, she had to rely on rote memorization of the morphological structure, position and neighboring relationships of various organs, and it was difficult for her to form a concrete image in her mind.
The book is a good one, and it is a regular textbook published by the People's Health Press, but——
"No matter who gave it to you, it's very considerate, knowing that you are going to take a training exam. Hehe." Liao Zhixian said with relief. He was sincerely grateful to Lai Di and sincerely hoped that she could have more friends outside.
It would be a waste for a girl like her to spend her whole life in a small mountain village.
Qin Ju’s inner thoughts: Considerate, considerate to his master!
This guy Lao Hetou is indeed worthy of being the old man who can buy TV and health products for her!
"Your friend wants you to learn both Chinese and Western medicine. Not bad."
Qin Ju: “…” Good, he’s the master!
At first, she wondered if it was a professional book sent by Mr. He, but then she thought that Mr. He might not have recovered completely at that time, and was living in seclusion in the mountains with the leader. There were so many people watching him outside, so he had to be careful with his words and actions, so he would not send anything to her.
Going around in circles several times and turning around many times is very much like the style of Lao He, the commander of the communications company.
When they parted last time, she told him that she wanted to be a doctor in the future. He took her to heart and gave her a book.
Liao Zhixian continued to comfort her: "Don't underestimate it, it's just a textbook. In recent years, all major medical schools have stopped recruiting students. It's very difficult to find textbooks for both Chinese and Western medicine... Your friend must have put a lot of effort into it. I want to find an agricultural textbook, but I haven't found it in two years."
In recent years, many professional books have been destroyed in the campaign to destroy the four olds and the Communist Party of China.
Qin Ju recalled that she had gone to the Xinhua Bookstore and the waste recycling station in the county and city to look for it in order to review for the exam, but couldn't find it. The aunt who collected waste also told her that many young people came to ask about it every day, and she was not the first one.
In Dragon Country, there is never a shortage of young people who are eager to learn, and even less of people who are dedicated.
Thinking about it this way, she felt that Lao Hetou was quite thoughtful. Last time, when she deliberately hinted at the gift, he didn't say anything and made her angry for the whole night, but he took the matter to heart. After all, such a textbook cannot be found in one go.
Walking to the door, Liao Zhixian took out a small notebook and tore off the page with the factory's phone number written on it. "Laidi, oh no, I should call you Comrade Qin Ju. I just heard that you changed your name. This is the factory office phone number. If you have any questions in the future, you can call directly to find Technician He."
"It's okay. Just call me Lai Di. You can call me whatever you like."
Liao Zhixian took two steps and suddenly turned back: "Comrade Qin Ju, can you treat intestinal obstruction?"
Intestinal obstruction is a very broad concept. It can occur in both acute inflammation and chronic tumors. There are many diseases with similar symptoms in traditional Chinese medicine, such as constipation, intestinal paralysis, intestinal hemorrhage, intestinal knots... Qin Ju thought for a moment and said, "I don't know who has this disease and what the condition is. I need to see the patient in person to know."
Liao Zhixian smiled bitterly. It seemed that this was not feasible. His sister was far away in Haicheng, hospitalized every day. Without the life-support equipment, she couldn't even get on the train. It was impossible for him to invite Comrade Qin Ju to Haicheng, right? He couldn't afford the round-trip travel expenses. He didn't know how to compensate him for delaying his work points.
"But this is an acute disease. Once discovered, it must be treated immediately, otherwise..."
Liao Zhixian nodded and said, "He is already in the hospital."
Qin Ju was relieved. This kind of disease would not cause any major problems as long as it was treated in the hospital. Seeing that he did not elaborate, she did not ask any more questions and focused on studying. Although she had a good memory now and the knowledge taught by Mr. He was still vivid in her mind, she did not dare to be careless. After all, she was not a graduate of a formal medical school and her foundation in Western medicine was weak. Mr. He's anatomy could help her a lot.
In addition to the textual introduction, the book also has detailed anatomical illustrations of each cross section, which is very intuitive. In the past, Dr. He did not have textbooks and sufficient time, and her teaching was not systematic enough, but this textbook connected the scattered knowledge points she had mastered before, dividing the human body into several major systems such as movement, digestion, respiration, and reproduction, and recording the bones and muscles of multiple parts of the head, neck, chest and abdomen, upper and lower limbs, pelvis, and soles of the feet in detail from top to bottom, which is very detailed and systematic.
This is very necessary for people who have never studied Western medicine seriously.
Qin Jue was not obsessed with the idea that she could not learn Western medicine because she was a Chinese medicine practitioner. In fact, her husband had wanted her to go out and see patients. She would read relevant books and watch programs when she had free time, so her professional foundation was still there. However, Chinese medicine in later generations combined Chinese and Western medicine, and she had not been able to take that step because she did not have a foundation in Western medicine.
Later, Lao Hetou went to the Health and Medical Bureau to ask for help for her. Unfortunately, she had not engaged in clinical work for many years and had not participated in the regular physician assessment on time. Her practicing physician license had been revoked. She had to retake the exam to practice medicine, and most of the subjects were Western medicine, which was her weak point.
In the end, at most I can show it to the old men and women in the building and prescribe a few prescriptions. If I really want to make money, I still have to do manual work.

Facts have proved that no book is read in vain.
A month later, the entrance examination for the training class organized by the County Health Bureau was held as scheduled. There were two subjects in total. The morning session was medical basics, which was actually mainly Western medicine term explanations and short-answer questions. There was not a single multiple-choice question, and you couldn't pass it by guessing. As soon as they walked out of the examination room, many people complained bitterly, because everyone thought that the selection was for grassroots health talents, which must be mainly based on Chinese medicine. After all, the grassroots do not have the conditions for laboratories and imaging examinations. As a result, who knew that 80% of the test questions were about Western medicine, and they were all terms that had never been heard of!
Fortunately, Qin Ju already had some basic knowledge and had memorized an entire book on systematic anatomy, so he didn't find it difficult.
The Traditional Chinese Medicine exam was held in the afternoon. In addition to basic TCM theories, classic articles, diagnosis and knowledge of Chinese medicine, some practical clinical techniques were also tested, such as how to bandage a fracture in a certain part of the human body, how to use acupuncture for pain in a certain part of the body... For Qin Ju, he could do all of that with his eyes closed.
Right after finishing the exam, she didn't delay and immediately prepared to go home. After all, it was almost Chinese New Year, and it got dark early and it was snowing heavily, so it was unsafe to walk on the mountain road.
It takes about ten minutes to walk from the Health Bureau to the bus station. She wrapped her clothes tightly and walked forward. It would be a lie to say that she was not worried about her grades. In her previous life, Zhao Haiyang and Zhao Haiyan would suffer from insomnia every time they had final exams. After all, they had invested so much time and energy in tutoring, and she had to re-study for them. The exams not only tested them, but also her, who was both a mother and a teacher.
Just as I was thinking about it, someone suddenly called me.
She turned around and saw a young woman wearing blue sleeves coming out from the glass door of the state-owned canteen. "Big sister?"
Qin Ailan patted her twice and said, "I thought I was seeing things. Hey girl, why don't you come to find me when you go to the city?"
In the past, whenever Lai Di came to the city, she liked to visit her at the steel factory compound, but at that time she had no salary, could not make decisions, and had no one to take care of her. "Let's go, haven't eaten yet."
He dragged Lai Di into the hotel without saying anything.
After not seeing each other for a while, Qin Ailan's face looked rosy, her eyes were bright, and she had even gained some weight. She was prettier and more energetic than before.
Qin Ju felt that his decision was right.
Today is Saturday. The state-owned restaurant only sells lunch and then goes off duty. The chef left early, and the only job left is cleaning. Ailan is new here, so she always works hard and stays until the end.
"Sis, when did you start working?"
"It's just been two months, and I can't get away. Last month I asked Aunt Liu from next door to help pass a message to you. I was wondering why you didn't come to see me."
It turned out to be the widow Liu next door. Qin Ju suddenly realized that the old woman must have "forgotten" by accident.
There were only the two of them in the hotel. Ailan turned on the stove which was still on and put two round glutinous rice cakes on it to roast. "Come over here and warm yourself by the fire."
The fire was lit and the temperature rose quickly, making the whole back kitchen warm. Qin Ju felt her cotton-padded jacket was too hot and wanted to open the collar.
"No, you'll catch a cold." Ai Lan stopped, watching the glutinous rice cake swell up quickly into a small ball. When you break it open, it smells sweet and sticky, and you can even pull it into a thread. "Here, don't be disgusted, this is what we left over from lunch, no one has touched it." The staff made their own meals, and they could eat whatever they wanted, since the working meals were free anyway.
Even someone as upright as Qin Ailan couldn't sneak into the cupboard to take the honey. After all, it was public property and was in good hands. "How about it? Is it sweet without the honey?"
"It's so sweet!" After taking a bite, my stomach felt warm.
The two sisters warmed themselves by the dying fire for a while. As it was getting late, Ailan realized that she really didn't want to go to Liu's house with her, so she had to urge her to go back to avoid any unsafe conditions on the road.
"This is what I collected over the past two months. I was going to send it to you someday when I had time. Since you're here, you can take it back with you. They're all dried in the sun and can be eaten after cooking."
It turns out that as a waiter here, she can indeed make a lot of money, but it is only leftovers from other people's meals. When she meets people with good family conditions and goes to the restaurant, there are some meats that she can't finish, such as fried and dried fish pieces. When recycling crispy meat and the like, whoever receives it will get it.
"Don't be disgusted. Even though it was touched by someone else's chopsticks, I boiled it in boiling water, sterilized it, dried it, and then re-fry it in oil... I don't want the ones with soup or water."
Given that the Qin family hadn't eaten meat for several months, Qin Jue wouldn't complain. Her elder sister was really thoughtful. She was honest, unlike others who would secretly hide untouched ingredients. She never took advantage of the public, so she could only pick up what others had left over.
"Also, this is the braised pork that the chef gave us last time. It was just out of the pot and everyone had some. I couldn't bear to eat it, so I asked him to fry it dry so it wouldn't spoil easily." Ailan pointed at an oil-paper package as if to take credit. She didn't take these things back to her husband's house, but hid them secretly.
Qin Ju's eyes were moist, "Okay, big sister, don't be stingy, eat what you need."
"Sister, I'm leaving now. You should go back soon so that your brother-in-law won't worry about you."
"It's okay. He's working overtime today and won't be back until tomorrow morning."
Carrying a bag full of things, Qin Ju left the hotel at the urging of her elder sister. She felt more energetic. How lucky she was to have such a sister!
*
Fortunately, the snow had stopped. She knew there was a small path that went directly through the alley behind the county school. Another two hundred meters would take her to the bus stop, where several tractors and minibuses were parked. If she was lucky enough to see a tractor returning to the brigade, she could take the bus directly to the village entrance.
Just as she was thinking, suddenly two figures in front of her caught her attention.
On a cold winter day, in a narrow alley, a man and a woman snuggled together. The man put his hands on the woman's waist and took the opportunity to pinch her butt, which was very frivolous and familiar.
At this moment, subconsciously, the man turned around quickly to look. Qin Ju saw his honest face and was stunned - isn't this his elder brother-in-law Liu Jiawei?
My elder sister said he was working overtime tonight, so why was he here? You know, the steel plant and the county primary school are in the south and north of the city respectively, so no matter how much overtime he worked, he couldn't come here.
Qin Ju was wearing a headscarf and carrying something with her. She bent over to avoid the north wind. The man's eyes just glanced at her and then he started flirting with the woman.
"Come inside quickly, Jiawei. It's very cold outside." The woman said coquettishly.
Hearing the name "Jiawei", Qin Ju was even more certain that this was her elder brother-in-law Liu Jiawei!
In a flash, Qin Ju realized what he had witnessed, and immediately a breath of evil rage rushed straight to his head.
But when she thought of this critical moment and her elder sister's finally recovered condition, she took a deep breath, suppressed her shock and anger, crouched, and waited until they entered a yard before she quietly wrote down the address.
*
This shock and anger did not dissipate even after she got home, and even intensified. Until the third day, Qin Guihua and Qin Pan both felt that something was wrong with her.
If you are so angry, it means you didn't do well in the exam.
"If you didn't do well in the exam, then you didn't do well. Anyway, you don't have to go to that crappy training class. You can still treat patients in the village." Recently, his reputation has spread to other brigades, and some people have come here to see him.
It’s not that Qin Ju’s medical skills really have the trust of so many people, but that she does not charge for consultations. All they ask is two eggs and half a pound of coarse grains. The herbs are all picked from the mountains, which means that the treatment does not cost a penny. Who among the members can refuse?
Qin Guihua was just about to give some persuasion when Wang Lifen suddenly shouted in a loud voice over the radio: "Notice, notice, Qin Jia Lai Di, oh no, it's Qin Jue, the results of the county training class are out, come and answer the phone!"
"Notify, notify, call the Health Bureau, Qin Ju..."
"Hey, he even called to let me know even though he failed. He's quite a nice guy!" Although Qin Guihua felt sorry that her granddaughter didn't pass the exam, she also felt that this arrangement, which was only for feeding livestock, was quite good.
Qin Ju ran to the brigade headquarters at the speed of a 100-meter sprint. Wang Lifen was carefully wiping the microphone wrapped in red silk cloth. "You are here, girl. They said they would call back in ten minutes. You just wait, ha."
"Don't be nervous. I heard that this guy has a good attitude. It shouldn't be a bad thing."
"Don't listen to those evil-minded people. If you can't pass the exam, who else can?"
Wang Lifen probably felt that her consolation was a little out of touch with reality. After all, she knew Lai Di's previous grades, and the exam was not about whether she could treat patients on site, but about her cultural knowledge. So she could only look at her and smile.
At first, when the members heard that she had relied on Xiao He, they all said that they were like two great grandparents who had been hunting geese but had their eyes pecked by geese. They would definitely regret it in the future. For example, now that Xin Gu Ye had slipped away, three orphans and a widow were left. The food they received at the end of the year was not enough to last for half a year. They were all as thin as sticks, especially Old Lady Qin, who could hardly tie her belt. Everyone who saw her would say that she was pitiful, but she felt that Lai Di was not an ordinary girl.
Who knows who will regret it in the future!
"By the way, have you kept in touch with Baozhu who lives next door to you?" If she were to say, the former Lai Di was a little silly. The two widows were incompatible. Would Baozhu really treat her as a good friend?
Qin Jue shook her head, and Wang Lifen also shook her head.
"I heard that she went to the provincial capital and Zhao Qingsong arranged a job for her in the cafeteria."
Qin Jue remembered that she had worked in the cafeteria of Factory 412 in her previous life, but it was indeed tiring. Moreover, it was a confidential unit with very strict management. She could not speak more than three sentences a day. Who could stand it for an 18 or 19-year-old? She quit within half a month.
Wang Lifen said, "Oh, I heard that the job was too tiring, so Baozhu quit. She will come back soon. Zhao Qingsong will also come. This is the first time they have come back to her parents' home since they got married."
As she was talking, the phone finally rang. Qin Ju picked it up and when she heard the other party asking if she had arrived, she quickly said, "Hello, comrade. I am Qin Ju."
The other party did not expect her voice to be so young, and repeatedly verified her basic information, "Congratulations, Comrade Qin Ju, you have won the first place in the selection examination for the grassroots health talent training class held in my county."
For a poor student who has always been at the bottom of the class since childhood, she was really surprised to be ranked first in the county. Hongxing County is vast, with 148 production teams, plus 12 urban communities where the county seat is located. There are a total of 160 people taking the exam this time, all of whom have either junior high school or high school education, or have some basic knowledge of medicine!
Qin Ju was stunned for two seconds, then quickly asked, "How many points did I get?"
"I got 96 points in basic Western medicine and full marks in traditional Chinese medicine, a total of 196 points. I am the only candidate in my county who got close to full marks." The score was so high that everyone mistakenly thought that someone had leaked the test questions in advance. But later, after investigation, it was found that the test questions were uniformly set by the Provincial Health Department and were brought to the examination room in person by the bureau secretary and the old dean. Both of them were respected old comrades. They had no relatives or friends taking the exam, and had no motive to leak the test questions.
Therefore, everyone thought that this comrade named Qin Ju must be an experienced doctor with many years of clinical experience, otherwise it would be impossible for her to be so proficient in both Chinese and Western medicine. After all, the questions were not easy, and even a clinical doctor could not get a perfect score... Who knew that she was really only eighteen years old!
The clerk said a few words of encouragement and continued to ask about her basic situation. He learned that she used to follow her master to treat patients in the village, and now she can engage in clinical diagnosis and treatment independently. He quickly emphasized these words and said, "Okay, the earliest school will start is after the New Year. By then, a notice will be posted at the door of the Health Bureau. Remember to come and see it."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Ju was not sure what their purpose was in making this call. Phone charges were so expensive these days. If everyone called to notify others, the Finance Bureau would have to move to the Health Bureau.
If she couldn't figure it out, she didn't think about it anymore. She had more important things to deal with now - her brother-in-law Liu Jiawei and that woman.
No, she didn't even want to call him her brother-in-law now, she was disgusted, and anyone with eyes could see what kind of relationship he had with that woman. It was hateful that Qin Ailan was looking for medical advice at home and had become a drug addict, but he, on the other hand, had someone else outside!
Qin Ju had been silent for the past few days because he felt that he had seen that woman before. After thinking for a few days, he finally remembered that she was the woman Liu Jiawei married after his eldest sister went crazy in his previous life. But because his second sister brought people to make trouble and did not agree to his divorce from his eldest sister who lived in a mental hospital, they had not obtained a marriage certificate even though they had two children.
It's ridiculous. In her previous life, she thought this was a sign of his deep affection, thinking that he loved her deeply and that he was just partnering up with the next woman to live together and continue the family line.
Bah! Qin Ju clenched his back teeth fiercely. He was so naive in his previous life that he actually believed in the sincerity of such an "honest man".
Some men are only truly honest when they are hanging on the wall.
