It could be said that Hou Changjiang is capable of being the Minister of Logistics. He is really capable. While supervising the laying of electrical wires, he can also follow up on the construction progress of the sanatorium. He does every job very well.
Tian Cai's family got electricity even faster than the sanatorium. Minister Hou asked the electrician to install the light for her first, one in each of the three rooms.
Tian Cai took the initiative to request that the bamboo house not be decorated, as she sometimes liked the artistic conception of candlelight.
Next was the brigade headquarters, and a loudspeaker was even installed there. This made it much more convenient for Zhang Defa to announce something in the future, as he no longer had to find a few team leaders to go door to door to inform everyone.
Li Tiegang was so jealous.
The electric wires for Kaoshan Village must pass through Qingshan Village. After Li Tiegang pestered him several times, Secretary Feng finally agreed to install one for him.
A few days later, another truckload of green military uniforms arrived. They all came with their luggage. They were busy building the sanatorium during the day and camped directly on the ground at night. They refused to go to the villagers' homes and refused to take a single needle or thread from any villager.
Tian Cai was deeply moved by what he saw and became more serious about the sanatorium.
That day she took Mimi to pick mountain products. Before going down the mountain, they happened to meet a few educated youth from the village. They also came together to pick mountain products, but they didn't pick as much as Tian Cai alone.
"Doctor Tian, where did you pick these? Why didn't we come across them?" Li Sheng shouted with envy when he saw Tian Cai's full bamboo basket.
When the other people heard the sound, they all looked over. Even Yan Xudong, who was very good at keeping himself together, couldn't help but look over here a few times.
When he saw this, his eyes widened.
There are really a lot!
Tian Cai also looked at the bamboo baskets of those people. Seeing that they all had so little, he said with a little embarrassment, "You are all on the periphery. I was led by Shan Mao to climb two more mountains inland. No one dared to go in there, so there are more mountain products there."
"This big guy is so powerful!" Li Sheng looked at the two big cats eagerly, his claws ready to move, as if he wanted to touch its head at any time.
But under Mimi's unfriendly gaze, I didn't dare to put it into action.
"And the hazelnuts you picked look bigger than ours!" Liu Yanqing said enviously. Last year, she followed the villagers to the mountains to pick some, peeled them, dried them, and sent them home.
Her parents used to like to eat dried fruits such as hazelnuts and pine nuts, but because these things were expensive and difficult to buy in the city, she thought that she could take advantage of her geographical advantage now and give them to them as a little gift to them.
This year they wanted to pick more so that their parents wouldn't be reluctant to eat them and save them for the New Year. However, when they went up the mountain they found that they were too late and the ones near the village had almost been picked up.
Tian Cai felt sorry for the people and said, "Wait here tomorrow morning at nine o'clock. I'll lead you a little further inside. There will be a mountain cat following you, so we won't have to be afraid of other small wild animals."
Several people were pleasantly surprised and immediately surrounded Tian Caihao to express their gratitude.
Liu Yanqing grinned from ear to ear and said to Tian Cai bluntly, "Hey Cai Cai, you're such a nice person. I won't be polite to you anymore. I'm thick-skinned anyway, so I'm definitely going with you!"
Qiu Xiaohuan followed closely behind, "I want to go too!"
She just experienced a little bit of the fun of picking mountain products today and is fascinated by it!
Several people came down the mountain together, chatting and laughing. On the way, Tian Cai was stopped by Minister Hou.
"Doctor Tian, I've contacted a pharmaceutical company in Shenyang, and they'll send you a batch of herbs. Do you have a list or something, or should I prepare some of each?"
Tian Cai had really thought about this problem. Preparing all the medicinal herbs was actually of little use. Commander Yu had said that most of the patients who would be sent here would have injuries to the spine and nerves, and there wouldn't be many types of medicines she could use. However, Tian Cai thought that since they were recuperating here, she might as well take the opportunity to heal their old injuries. She was doing her bit to help.
She thought for a moment and said, "Wait until I make a list for you. There are also some local medicinal herbs. Can we just buy them directly from the county purchasing station?"
"I think it's a good idea. It saves us from having to get the same medicine from somewhere else. It's more convenient to have it locally."
After the two of them finished talking, Tian Cai saw that nothing was wrong, so he followed them into the village.
Qiu Xiaohuan looked over there curiously. The rough outline of the sanatorium had already taken shape, and the foundation had been laid. Thinking of the recent rumors in the village, she couldn't help but ask, "I heard that a sanatorium is going to be built here?"
Tian Cai nodded. There was nothing to hide about this. Almost the entire commune knew about it now.
"So you're going to be a doctor at the sanatorium?" Liu Yanqing said, then looked at her with admiration, "Cai Cai, you're amazing! Does this count as a stable job?"
"Of course it counts. This is much more comfortable than being a worker!" Li Sheng put one hand on his waist and gestured with the other. The sunlight formed a halo around him, making him look energetic.
Liu Yanqing looked at Li Sheng like this, and for some reason, her cheeks felt slightly hot.
She suddenly reached out and patted her cheeks, then shook her head violently, took a few steps back, and came to Qiu Xiaohuan's side.
Qiu Xiaohuan was completely unaware and was still sighing at her foresight. What did she say before? With Tian Cai's skills, he might be able to become a doctor in a big hospital. Now it seems that he might be even better than the doctors in a big hospital!
She didn't think the military district would just casually build a sanatorium in this remote mountain area. As far as she knew, most sanatoriums were located in places with pleasant climates. The winters in Liao Province were so cold, who would be so desperate?
She must be here for Tian Cai. She couldn't help but look at Tian Cai twice again. This girl has unlimited potential!
Yan Xudong knew more than those people. He followed Zhang Defa and had been in contact with Minister Hou a lot these days. Besides, he had family connections, so he might know more details than Tian Cai, the person involved.
He really thought Tian Cai was amazing, so he followed everyone's words and offered a few congratulations.
Several people praised Tian Cai so much that her cheeks turned pink.
Fortunately, they had reached a fork in the road. Tian Cai hurriedly said goodbye to everyone and took Mimi home.
She didn't plan to buy too many mountain products this year. Anyway, she was definitely not poor now and didn't have to think about making money all the time.
It's enough to pick enough for her own consumption. She can pick more soapberries as many people in the village like the facial and shampoo soaps she makes. If she makes more in the future, she can earn some pocket money.
After the construction of the sanatorium started, Zhang Defa also found more than a dozen young and strong people to come and help build houses for those families living near the sanatorium.
The houses of these families were originally some distance away from the village, so they were demolished and rebuilt elsewhere. Zhang Defa chose for a long time and finally decided to clear out the dilapidated house near Qin Ling's house.
The first to be affected was the Hu family. Their house was no more than 50 meters away from the sanatorium and was one of the first places to be demolished.
