After Lin Ying returned home with Zhao Qinghuai, Zhao Qinghuai not only gave her all the money and coupons they had used before, but also brought news of his grandfather: "Grandpa is now working as a doctor at the forest farm. He doesn't have to do physical labor. Also, the things you gave him are all very good. Grandpa is very healthy."
As for the prescription you gave me, when I went to see my grandfather, I had him make a copy. I also told everyone that the prescription came from my grandfather. The forestry station knows about my relationship with my grandfather, so it's normal for me to have the prescription.”
Lin Ying looked at Zhao Qinghuai: "Has something happened to Grandpa?"
Zhao Qinghuai knew he couldn't hide it from her: "No, it's just that the weather is cold, and Grandpa is old and not in good health. He had a fever when I went there."
Zhao Qinghuai originally went to the forest farm to borrow timber to build a water room. The original plan was to build a water room for boiling water for soaking feet. However, when he arrived, he found the old man lying alone on the cold kang (a heated brick bed), running a fever. So he changed his plans.
He went to the town clinic to buy medicine for the old man, and only after watching the old man drink it and his fever subside did he discuss the matter with him.
He asked the old man to give the prescription to the commander of the forest farm, saying it was a medicinal formula for treating frostbite.
He told the old man to memorize the method for making frostbite ointment, and then say that the process was too complicated and only he could make it.
Compared to their troops, the forest farm was where the frostbite was most severe. If this medicine works, the forest farm will definitely use it.
When handing it to the commander, Zhao Qinghuai said from the side, "Grandpa was worried that someone would use his ingredients to make trouble, so he refused to reveal the formula. It was only because I saw how badly our brothers in the regiment were suffering from frostbite that I begged Grandpa to prescribe the formula. I saw that Grandpa's feet and hands were also covered in frostbite, so I figured our brothers here must be having a hard time too. That's why I brought the formula over for you."
The commander had no doubts upon hearing this.
This place is not as simple as Zhao Qinghuai's troops. Here, there are not only educated youth from a few years ago, but also veteran cadres who were sent down to the countryside, as well as people with problematic class backgrounds like Grandpa Lin who came here for reform.
People are not united, and their thoughts are in disarray. All sorts of monsters and demons are present.
It's not easy for Old Master Lin to protect himself. If he were to reveal the formula, it probably wouldn't even reach him. Some people would seize it and steal the credit.
Therefore, if Zhao Qinghuai hadn't come, Old Master Lin probably would have had his hands covered in frostbite like everyone else and wouldn't have mentioned the frostbite medicine.
"I won't say anything more, I'll remember this kindness. The country is currently focused on construction, and everyone has to work overtime every day. Whether it's a man or a woman, who doesn't have frostbite? If it's not treated properly, it can be a lifelong problem."
Of course, Zhao Qinghuai had another purpose in telling the commander this: "You are more capable than me. I will figure out the ointment myself. As for the medicinal materials, could you please bring us a portion as well? Don't worry, we will definitely not be stingy with how much we are owed."
The forest farm's timber is distributed nationwide. Besides, that person is the commander; they definitely have more connections than him. If he could apply for a large quantity of medicinal herbs, it would be enough for their needs with just a flick of his finger.
The commander waved his hand to reassure him: "We will definitely not forget you."
In fact, the next day, the commander obtained a batch of medicine and not only distributed foot bath medicine packets to everyone, but also put Old Master Lin in charge of making frostbite ointment.
In addition, many people in the forest farm suffered from frostbite, along with other illnesses, so the commander simply granted the old man a position as a resident doctor at the forest farm.
Now, everyone can soak their feet, wash their face, and wash their hands with the medicinal solution every day because of this old man. At first, there were some complaints, but after a week, the rumors disappeared.
The old man was not only a highly skilled doctor, but everyone who came to him for treatment experienced improvement. Crucially, everyone in the entire forest farm suffered from frostbite. Now, although some still have frostbite, it has improved, and they no longer have trouble sleeping at night because of swollen and itchy feet and hands.
Therefore, those negative opinions gradually disappeared.
