A few days passed like this, and Shen Anning still went to work every day according to the old rules, looking like nothing had happened, which made the village chief and the branch secretary a little unsure.
The two waited at home for several days, and they couldn't bear it any longer, so they sent their daughter-in-law to the house with some food to inquire about the news.
When Shen Anning got home from work, she saw two people walking towards her house. She looked carefully and took the initiative to greet them, "Aunt Weijia, Aunt Xinghua, why are you here?"
The two of them exchanged glances and said, "An Ning, it's like this. We came here because your Party Secretary and Village Chief wanted to ask you how you did on the county exam?" Geng Weijia looked at Shen An Ning and rubbed his hands embarrassedly.
She knew that the village had sent several people to take the exam in recent years, but no one passed it once. Moreover, Shen Anning had some connections with her father. She was afraid that Shen Anning was shy, which made her feel embarrassed to ask.
"Hey, this matter, the results should be out in the next few days, right? The village head and the party secretary will definitely be the first to know the news." Shen Anning didn't want to say more and wouldn't say more. She hoped that by then, this matter would spread throughout the two villages. She wanted to take this opportunity to gain a foothold in the village.
These days, she greeted the aunties and grandmas in the village with a smile and made friends with them. On the one hand, she wanted to integrate into this collective. On the other hand, she knew that although those people did not pass the exam before, they should have planned to become barefoot doctors. Although they could not go to the commune to work and get subsidies, they did not have to work. She must have affected other people's interests by taking the exam this time.
When Geng Weijia and Liu Xinghua heard what Shen Anning said, they naturally couldn't say anything else. They left the dishes and went back.
May 20th, Saturday.
As usual, this was the day for the commune meeting. Early in the morning, the village chief took the accountant to the commune meeting. Shen Anning was working in the fields as usual. As things were about to come to an end, she was a little restless. She was a little unsure. If there was some shady dealings in the grading of the papers this time, it was very likely that she would not be among the qualified ones. This would be bad, and the whole plan would be ruined.
Shen Anning was a little absent-minded all morning. She got off work early at noon and didn't have the energy to cook delicious food for her younger brothers and sisters when she went back.
I was just about to make some porridge and grab a few buns when I heard the banging of drums and gongs. The village radio, which was only used a few times a year, was on. The village chief's voice came out, "Now, please invite representatives from each household to the threshing ground for a meeting. Representatives from each household, please come to the threshing ground for a meeting. The village has an important announcement to make. An important announcement to make."
Shen An Ning put down the work in her hands, packed up briefly, and took her younger brother and sister to the threshing ground. She had already guessed what was going on.
Sure enough, as soon as she arrived, the village chief and the party secretary came over and wanted to take her to the stage.
When most people had arrived, several village leaders began to speak on the stage. Wang Zhoushan looked at the villagers and said, "Everyone, please be quiet. Let me tell you a few words. As the village chief of Wangtu Village, I've been very concerned about the lack of a doctor in the village in recent years. But there's nothing we can do. Several groups of people have taken the exam, and none of them have passed. It's fate. When the educated youth went to the countryside, I heard that Shen had studied medicine, so I decided to have her represent Wangtu Village in the county exam this year."
At this point, the village chief looked at the people standing below and stopped. This made the villagers below anxious and they all asked, "What's the result, village chief? Did Xiao Shen, the educated youth, pass the exam?"
"Yes, yes. How did Shen Zhiqing do on the exam?"
"That's what I want to say. Zhiqing Shen did very well on the test. This time, more than a dozen communes and several farms in our county arranged for people to take the test. More than a hundred people showed up, but only about twenty passed. Zhiqing Shen ranked in the top ten, the first in Fangshan Commune. I was in a meeting at the commune today, and the leaders of the commune praised her. The leaders of the town hospital also said that after Zhiqing Shen's training is completed, she will be able to work at the commune hospital for two days a month. She will usually be in our village, responsible for treating villagers in several neighboring villages that don't have doctors."
When these words were spoken, the villagers below were a little surprised. These top ten were really impressive. Everyone had their own thoughts. Having a doctor in the village would always be more convenient.
Of course, Shen An Ning did not miss the slightly resentful looks given to her by several aunties in the huge crowd standing below.
Standing on the stage, Shen Anning looked at the village chief and the branch secretary and told them what she had thought of earlier.
In the end, Shen Anning decided to take six centimeters from the village every day. Villagers could pay for medical treatment or use centimeters to offset the cost, and the settlement would be made together when the grain was counted after the autumn harvest.
There were still a few people who had objections, but Shen An Ning directly stated that the two houses in front of her house would be used as a place for everyone to see a doctor and get medicine. You must know that not everyone can get the medicine in the commune. If it is just an ordinary barefoot doctor, he may not sell medicine once in ten visits. However, doctors registered under the name of the commune hospital have the authority to get medicine directly from the commune hospital. This is also the reason why several village officials of the village committee did not agree to those who did not pass the exam to become barefoot doctors after discussion a few years ago.
Shen Anning's behavior made her famous in the village. Although she offended a few people, most of them agreed with her and supported her. Naturally, everyone felt more at ease when seeing a certified doctor.
After everyone dispersed, Shen Anning went to the village committee and discussed future matters with the village head and the village secretary. Since he was about to start practicing medicine, some things had to be put on the agenda.
Shen Anning thought for a while, "Village Chief, Party Secretary, although our village doesn't have medicine yet, this medicine cabinet also has a shelf for drying medicine, and the bamboo curtain needs to be prepared."
