Sheng Kangning heard it when he went to the cafeteria to get food.
Before, Sheng Kangning was busy making medicine, and most of the time, Xu Hongmei helped him get meals and he never went to the cafeteria.
The person who said this was a female educated youth that Sheng Kangning was not familiar with. She came to the Great Northern Wilderness a year earlier than Sheng Kangning, and Sheng Kangning didn't even know her name.
"I heard that the group of human traffickers in the mountains are all men. Look at Sheng Kangning's appearance. In the deep mountains and old forests, they caught a beautiful female educated youth like Sheng Kangning, who is young and beautiful, with fair and tender skin. I really don't believe that a man can resist touching her!
I'm sure Sheng Kangning was raped by those human traffickers in the mountains!"
"You didn't go there, but you're talking as if you saw it!"
"Hey, that's just what happens between a man and a woman. Besides, Sheng Kangning was in the hands of the traffickers for quite some time. I heard that when she was found, she was covered in grass debris. What does that mean? She was just rolled in the wilderness! I also heard someone say..."
The other female educated youth glanced at Sheng Kangning, raised her arm and nudged the female educated youth who was speaking.
"what!"
"Stop talking, the real boss is here! It's not nice to say these things in front of people!"
"That means she's pretty!"
"Don't forget, Dr. Corning's medical skills are great. Didn't you see that Director Zhou was able to stand up again under Dr. Corning's treatment? And Uncle Feng, I heard that he has regained feeling in both of his legs! As long as he continues to insist on acupuncture, who knows, one day he will be able to stand up like Director Zhou. That would be incredible!"
You don't know, many people call her the Corning Little Miracle Doctor in private! Don't say those things you said before anymore."
"I didn't say Sheng Kangning's medical skills were bad, why do you keep saying that!"
"You can guarantee that you will never get sick in your life!"
"I... who can guarantee this!"
"That's it! Don't say such things anymore in the future!"
Sheng Kangning knew a female educated youth named Li Baozhu who said she had good medical skills. She went to the field hospital to see him last week and said that she had a cold uterus and had severe stomach pain every time she had her period. Sheng Kangning gave her three prescriptions.
Li Baozhu said this just because she didn't want Sheng Kangning to hate her.
Xu Hongmei frowned and said:
"Her name is Fang Mei. Don't take her words to heart. Fang Mei didn't go up the mountain that day. What does she know? She's just talking nonsense! Wait, I'll go find her!"
Sheng Kangning grabbed the man:
"Sister Hongmei, I am innocent. I know it myself. There is no need to look for her. Let's go and get some food."
In her previous life, Sheng Kangning suffered greatly from rumors. She will not be so stupid in this life. People have their own mouths and can say whatever they want. How can she control it?
Besides, if Sheng Kangning cares too much, others will be the ones who are proud.
Xu Hongmei was very angry, but Sheng Kangning advised her not to care.
Sheng Kangning dragged Xu Hongmei to get breakfast, then walked towards the farm hospital holding Xiaobao. Rumors are like that. The more you care about them, the more people will spread them. If you don't care, just let them say whatever they want. In a few days, once something new and interesting happens on the farm, everyone's attention will shift to the new event.
While getting food, Feng Yaozu also asked whether he should tell Lao Zhou about this matter.
Sheng Kangning shook his head and said no, it would be fine after a few days.
It has snowed several times in the Great Northern Wilderness.
When the first snow fell, each person was issued a set of cotton clothes and a military coat. In order to distinguish them from the uniforms of regular troops, the colors of the cotton clothes and coat were all a darker green.
The coat is of good quality and is quite warm to wear, but if you stand outside in the snow and the wind blows, it will still be cold. Many people who have extra leather in their hands sew another piece of leather inside the coat.
The best is wolf skin. Sew a whole piece of wolf skin on to keep it warm and windproof.
There were three wolf skins in the bag of skins that Aunt Juhua gave to Sheng Kangning. Sheng Kangning gave one to Xu Hongmei and one to himself. The last one, which was particularly big, was kept by Sheng Kangning for Brother Chu and he did not touch it.
If there is no wolf skin, use rabbit skin. Connect several rabbit skins together and sew them inside the coat, which can also keep you warm. As for the cotton coat and pants, forget about it. Not only do they look ugly, but the pants are straight-leg pants with baggy legs, which let wind blow in. When you wear them on, you feel very cold when the wind blows.
In the Great Northern Wilderness, the parts of the body most susceptible to frostbite are the hands, face, and feet.
These parts have also become the key protection areas for farm workers, no matter whether they are men or women. Once they are frostbitten, the symptoms will recur every year. The feeling is really hard to describe.
Sheng Kangning has frostbite ointment, but not many people know its effects.
Director Zhou said that the medicines that Sheng Kangning gave out could no longer be given away for free as before, but had to be paid for and recorded.
Once the news of charging money came out, fewer people came to see Sheng Kangning for medical treatment.
Farm workers don’t take common headaches and fevers seriously at all. They just say drink more hot water and they will be fine in a few days. There is no need to spend any money.
In places where frostbite occurs, people are unwilling to spend money on frostbite ointment, but this has increased the amount of medicines stored in the field hospital.
Before, Sheng Kangning had basically no stock of the medicines it made.
Before it snowed, everyone was trying to find furs. They wanted all kinds of furs, including rabbit fur, dog fur, sheep fur, and wolf fur.
Wolf skin is a rare thing.
Those who had plenty of money would spend on leather hats, leather gloves, and even leather socks.
If you don’t have money, just make your own cotton hat.
There is an old man named Geng on the farm. When he was young, he was a hunter and could hunt. When he is not busy, he spends most of his time in the mountains, so he has accumulated the most leathers. He makes these leathers into leather hats and leather gloves and sells them to farm employees, which can be regarded as an extra income.
Lao Geng was married and had a wife, but his wife died of complications during childbirth.
Neither adults nor children were saved.
There are more men than women in the Great Northern Wilderness, so it is not easy to find a wife.
After that, Lao Geng lived alone. He looked like an old man, but actually he was not that old, only in his early forties.
An ordinary rabbit fur hat costs five yuan, and the price remains the same every year.
Lao Geng is not a talkative person, but he has accumulated a lot of wealth over the years.
Sheng Kangning was wearing a rabbit fur hat. It was not bought from Lao Geng, but was made specially for her by Aunt Juhua. Sheng Kangning had one, Xiaobao had one, and Xu Hongmei also had one.
He wore sheepskin gloves on his hands, a leather coat on his body, and his pants were also made of leather, which was warm.
If you really have no money, you can only wear the cotton gloves distributed by the farm, commonly known as hand muffs.
The warmth retention effect is average, but it’s better than nothing.
The shoes are leather boots, and ordinary socks don’t work with leather boots. It’s still cold after staying in the wild for a long time.
Sheng Kangning was wearing the sheepskin socks made for her by Aunt Juhua, and then a layer of woolen socks on the outside and leather boots to keep out the cold.
