It has been more than ten days since Zhengzhen Yan arrived in Kaoshan Village. Except for the last time when he met Tian Cai when Li Sheng's arm was injured, he has not seen him since then. It's not that he hasn't been to Tian Cai's house, but he just hasn't met anyone once. Seeing the smoke coming out of the yard, he knew that someone was at home. He thought about it and pretended to accidentally scratch his arm while working.
When he took leave and went there, the person who came to help him disinfect and bandage was a different person.
Qu Ting's eyes swept over Zheng Xiuyan, and she felt that he was not as frail as she had imagined. She coughed lightly and said with a hint of discomfort, "Please sit down."
After she finished, Zheng Zhengyan asked casually, "The doctor I saw last time wasn't you, was he?"
Qu Ting blinked, remembering Tian Cai's words about meeting Xiu Zhiqing before, and nodded calmly, "The one you saw last time was a real doctor. I'm just a fake one. I'm just a health worker in the team, not even a doctor!"
Pointing to the wound on his arm, he said with a smile, "Doctor Tian is busy, I can handle this minor injury no problem!"
"Health worker?" It was the first time that Xiuzhen Yan had heard of this position. He pretended to be interested and started chatting with Qu Ting, trying to get her to say something.
"Well, I took the study organized by the commune last year, and then I took the exam and passed it."
"So what do you usually do?"
"I often have to go to the villages to spread information about the transmission routes and prevention methods of infectious diseases, and occasionally help with injections and medication."
"Then why are you here, Doctor Tian?"
Qu Ting said as a matter of course: "Doctor Tian, just do what you need to do. There are so many things to do!"
…
After a lot of trouble, Zhengzhen Yan still couldn't find out from Qu Ting what Tian Cai was doing. Moreover, he had been talking for a long time but no one came out. Knowing that he could not see him anymore, he left reluctantly.
After everyone left, Qu Ting disinfected the medical supplies she had just used and put them back in their original places, then ran happily towards the backyard.
"Cai Cai Cai Cai! I just saw Xiu Zhiqing and even talked to him!"
Qu Ting's eyes were shining, and her cheeks were red, perhaps because of running or shyness.
Tian Cai was wearing a cotton mask as she boiled some ointment. Only a pair of clear eyes were visible on her small face. She raised an eyebrow at what he said, "So? Have you decided to ditch Chen Jinhui and find someone else? Don't you prefer tall and imposing men?"
"I like it, I like it. I just want to take a look, that's enough." Qu Ting rolled her eyes and smiled wickedly, "He even asked me about you!"
"What are you asking?"
"To find out what you've been up to."
Tian Cai didn't take it seriously. After all, everyone was used to her not being at home to see patients. She had to go out to see patients, occasionally go up the mountain to collect herbs, and also produce large quantities of medicine for the army. It would be strange for her to be idle at home all the time.
After Tian Cai made all the detoxification pills, he went to work with the villagers. They worked from dawn to dusk every day and could only go home to eat in between. There was no time for everyone to take a break.
It wasn't so urgent originally. The commune gave instructions saying that there would be heavy rain in a while, so all the teams had to rush to harvest early. Everyone in the village who could work went to work, and even those who used to stay at home to cook went to the fields. They went back to cook around noon, and then continued to work.
The children followed the adults with bamboo baskets in their hands, picking up the rice ears and small potatoes, peanuts and other things that had fallen without the adults noticing. They harvested a lot in a day.
The whole village worked hard and finally gathered all the grain from the fields into the threshing ground in nine days.
The wind started to blow in the evening. Zhang Defa squinted his eyes and watched for a while. After discussing with a few old farmers, he called the villagers to go to the threshing ground to collect the grain. The grain that had not yet lost its moisture was packed into large sacks and piled in the warehouse.
Zhang Defa asked someone to raise the ground and checked the roof of the warehouse to make sure there were no leaks. Only then did his frown relax a little.
"Oh——" Yu Guoqing couldn't help but sigh.
If this rain lasts only one or two days and is followed by sunny days, the impact will not be big. But I am afraid that it will not stop. Then the grain in the warehouse will inevitably get damp, and the threshing floor will not be able to dry out for a while after the rain. It is not certain how long the delay will last!
The harvest this year is obviously good. It would be such a loss if all the crops were spoiled because of this rain.
"If it really doesn't work, why not send it to the team members' homes and let them dry the food on the stoves?" he suggested tentatively.
Zhang Defa pondered, "I'll discuss this matter with a few team leaders first."
There is always a risk in carrying food at the team members' homes, and he doesn't want to test people's nature with the food. Most families in the village are good, but there are always a few who like to take advantage of small opportunities.
They could roughly estimate how much a bag of grain would shrink after being kang-dried, but it would require a lot of firewood, which was not as cost-effective as directly drying it. Zhang Defa didn't want to give up until that point.
That night, a heavy rainstorm arrived as expected, but the villagers had made preparations in advance. Tian Cai finished his work early and returned home. He took a very comfortable hot bath before dinner.
After taking a shower, she let her wet hair down and prepared dinner for herself.
Green spinach is dotted between the slightly yellow noodles, a few drops of oil float on the noodle soup, and a poached egg lies under the noodles. Add two drops of balsamic vinegar, and it is really appetizing to eat with the crackling rain outside the window.
After finishing the meal and cleaning up the kitchen, Tian Cai put on a straw raincoat and returned to the main room. She lit an oil lamp and read for a while. Mimi lay at her feet until nine o'clock when her hair was almost dry and then the cat and she went to bed.
The next morning, the rain slowed down a bit and she thought she could continue to rest that day, but the arrival of Commander Yu broke the peace.
Still for the matter mentioned last time, Tian Cai's prescription was sent to the border. After studying it, several military doctors unanimously agreed that it was feasible. However, after nearly a week of treatment, although there was some effect, it was far less effective than Tian Cai's treatment of Chen Jinhui.
At the beginning, Tian Cai was trying to treat Chen Jinhui, and she took a lot of detours during the process. Logically, she gave the correct and detailed treatment methods to the military, but the result should not be like this.
Tian Cai suspected that it was the dew that had the effect. Dew could bring out all the medicinal properties of the herbs themselves, thus achieving 100% effectiveness. But she couldn't say it directly, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Xiaotian, can you see if you can go to the border in person?" Commander Yu hesitated for a while, and finally said with gritted teeth.
They really had no other choice. Not to mention that the poisoned team was the elite among the elites, even ordinary soldiers would try their best to save them. These were all heroes of the country.
Tian Cai's eyes lit up, and a thousand thoughts flashed through his mind. He immediately nodded and agreed, "Then I'll get ready first. When do you need to leave?"
"The sooner the better."
So the next few people acted separately. Tian Cai packed his underwear, silver needles and some daily necessities and put them all in a bamboo backpack. There was a small lid on the bamboo backpack, which was tied with a rope to prevent things from falling out.
I never thought I would have the opportunity to go out, so I will have to find someone to make a backpack for me in the future.
