Zheng Xiang put down the cup in his hand and said calmly: "It is indeed a good idea. Your Liyuan has developed well in recent years.
Even the leaders above have singled you out for praise. Not only has it boosted the development of the entire village, but several nearby brigades that took your village as an example have also developed in a respectable manner.
With your village as a pilot, we will expand to other poor villages to build orchard projects. So far, the response from all over the country has been good.
We commend you for this. At the beginning of this year, we will arrange for all the outstanding and advanced communes to hold a conference in Beijing.
I guess your commune leaders will also bring the cadres from your brigade along.
Be well prepared when the time comes. Also, prepare a speech.
Write a summary of your brigade’s development in recent years.”
Captain Lu and Secretary He's hearts were pounding, not only because of Zheng Xiang's words, but also because of his identity.
What kind of person must be able to have access to this thing?
For a moment, the two people spoke more cautiously.
After dinner, Secretary Zhang whispered a few words in Zheng Xiang's ear. Zheng Xiang nodded, indicating that he should ask Zhao Yisheng for his opinion.
While others were not paying attention, Secretary Zhang found Zhao Yisheng and said, "Old Zhao, I heard before that the barefoot doctors here are very capable, so my teacher asked me to go and ask them.
I told the doctor about your condition and he said your leg can be cured.
But to know the specific situation, he still needs to touch the bones.
Do you want to stay here for treatment?"
Zhao Yisheng hesitated and said, "This treatment will take some time, so what about the teacher?
And Comrade Zhu Xiuli, if there is no one on either side......"
Secretary Zhang sighed imperceptibly: "You just worry too much.
Teacher, I'm over there, you don't have to worry.
As for Miss Xiuli, didn’t she find a caregiver to look after her?
You also know that woman. After we resolve her issues, she will definitely take better care of Xiu Li.
The most important thing now is to take good care of your legs. The teacher will definitely be busier in the future and travel all over the country.
Can you drag your sick leg and stay by his side all the time?
Will he take care of you then, or will you take care of him?
Besides, some people are eyeing your position covetously, and if you use your poor health as an excuse, they will take the opportunity to dethrone you.
That would be more trouble than gain. Besides, there are not many capable old doctors like this who can save themselves in the tide of history."
Everything Secretary Zhang said made sense, and Zhao Yisheng agreed after only a moment's thought.
A big part of the reason why Zheng Xiang was confident that Zhao Yisheng would stay was because of Lu Zhiye and the relationship between the two.
During these few months, Lu Zhiye will definitely take good care of Zhao Yisheng.
That afternoon, after listening to Secretary Zhang's words, Lu Zhiye took Zhao Yisheng to see the barefoot doctor.
The barefoot doctor felt Zhao Yisheng's leg bones inch by inch and asked: "Did you break your shin bone before? Wasn't you treated in time?"
"The situation was special at the time, and I lay in bed for a while. I thought I was almost recovered, so I stopped caring about it.
But it still hurts after walking for a long time.”
"Your wound has not healed properly. If you want to completely heal it, there is a very dangerous method.
It also depends on whether you can get through it. If you can't, your leg may become completely lame.
Everything has risks, so make your own decision.”
Zhao Yisheng lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking about. Lu Zhiye and the barefoot doctor also sat quietly beside him. This was an important decision in life and others could not interfere.
After about a cup of tea, Zhao Yisheng raised his eyes, nodded confidently and said, "I'll do it!
It can’t be any worse, I don’t want to live like this for the rest of my life.”
The barefoot doctor admired his courage and smiled, saying, “You are very brave, but let me make it clear to you in advance that the method I am talking about is to regenerate broken bones.
Break off the part of your body that has not grown well and let it start growing again.
This process is very painful and long. In all my years of practicing medicine, I have only seen one person with the willpower to succeed.
He is a military man, and ordinary people can’t stick with it.”
Zhao Yisheng took a deep breath, and Secretary Zhang beside him broke out in a cold sweat.
It was enough to break it off once, but now I have to break it off a second time.
The pain he once experienced is still vivid in his mind. At that time, Zhao Yisheng was lying on the bed, and as soon as his feet touched the ground, he broke out in cold sweats because of the pain.
The people in the cowshed are busy taking care of themselves, so how could they care about him?
Especially when everyone was at work, if he was thirsty, he would climb up to the water tank with both hands and drink a few sips.
The same applies to eating, but if you don’t work, you won’t get any work points.
During the month he was recuperating, he was so hungry that he ate wild grass and sometimes even competed with cattle for food.
If Aunt Dashan hadn't taken pity on him and given him a meal, he might not be alive today.
So before Zhao Yisheng left, he resolutely gave most of the money he had to Aunt Dashan and the others.
Zhao Yisheng's eyes flashed with determination: "I am willing to try this method. I don't want to be a cripple all my life."
Now it was Secretary Zhang's turn to be anxious. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he saw the desperate look in Zhang Yisheng's eyes, he silently swallowed the words.
"Okay, let's wait until the New Year is over, and I'll prepare everything.
In addition, there are these medicinal herbs, you all need to prepare them, my old bones can’t climb the mountain anymore.”
Secretary Zhang quickly took the paper from the barefoot doctor. Looking at the long list, he had reason to suspect that the barefoot doctor took the opportunity to ask them for medicine.
But as long as it can cure Zhao Yisheng's legs, what does this little bit of medicine matter?
After a few people left, Lu Zhiye was about to turn around and go home when Secretary Zhang suddenly called him.
Secretary Zhang took out an envelope from his briefcase, pushed his glasses, and said softly, "Comrade Lu, this is what Comrade Zhu Xiuli and my teacher asked me to give to you.
Among them, there was the 800 yuan she promised, and part of it was a thank you from the teacher.
Comrade Lu can decide how to divide the division himself, and we will not interfere.
We have no idea how much money you were given as a thank you after you left this door.
You decide everything yourself......"
This was what Zheng Xiang had agreed upon from the beginning. Even if Lu Zhiye took the money embezzled, they would not object.
Lu Zhiye originally wanted to refuse, but seeing Zhao Yisheng's earnest expression, he paused and silently took the envelope.
He had thought wrong before. He shouldn't have transferred Zhao Yisheng's kindness to Zhu Xiuli.
