A few days ago, Tian Cai saw a patient suffering from kidney deficiency and impotence. At that time, there were not enough medicinal materials, and she didn't have one of them, seahorse. The patient said he could get it himself, and he asked someone to bring it to her yesterday.
Tian Cai checked the quality of the medicinal materials and found them to be in good condition. The seahorses were intact and dried very dry.
She packed some medicine in a small bamboo basket and went to the sanatorium with an umbrella. The texture of this medicinal material was relatively hard, and it was not known how long it would take to grind it with a medicine grinder. Using a powder grinder would be faster, and the powder produced would be finer.
It happened to be raining today, and almost no one came out of the village. Even if someone was seen, they would just pass by quickly and disappear soon.
Tian Cai couldn't help but feel itchy when looking at the small puddle on the road. She looked around and there was no one there anyway. It just so happened that she was wearing rain boots today.
“Pah—”
The small water droplets splashed up, circled in the air and fell back into the puddle, rippling on the water surface for a while before quickly disappearing.
As soon as Tian Cai entered the sanatorium and turned around from the gate, he saw Yang Zhengping pulling Meng Fanmei's arm and saying something with a smile on his face. Meng Fanmei's cheeks were red and she seemed afraid to look at Yang Zhengping. She nodded shyly after he finally finished speaking.
Seeing the person nod, Yang Zhengping whispered something again before letting go of his hand.
As soon as he let go, Meng Fanmei turned around and went into the house.
Yang Zhengping was left standing there alone, grinning foolishly.
Tian Cai: “…”
What happened? What kind of ambiguous tug-of-war did she see?
Looking at Yang Zhengping's expression, she seemed to smell the scent of spring, wow.
I don't know when these two got together.
Tian Cai covered his face with an umbrella, pretending not to notice what the two people had just done, and continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.
After Meng Fanmei left, Yang Zhengping saw someone coming over. Although his head was blocked by an umbrella, he could tell from his figure that it was Tian Cai. Thinking of what he had just done, he felt a little embarrassed. Seeing that Tian Cai had no strange expression, he felt relieved and coughed lightly. "It's raining. Why are you here at this time?"
"I have some medicinal herbs to grind." Tian Cai raised the bamboo basket so that he could see the herbs inside.
When Yang Zhengping saw the seahorse inside, he immediately understood that this thing was indeed not suitable for him to crush.
Tian Cai ground all the medicinal powders and then leisurely returned home.
"Doctor Tian, please help me persuade my uncle. He insists on going home right now. What if he gets sick again in the future?"
As soon as the rain stopped, Zeng Wen ran over with an anxious look on his face. It turned out that Zhang Dazhi wanted to go home.
He has been treating his nephritis for more than ten days, taking medicine and getting acupuncture. The swelling on his body has basically disappeared, the soreness in his waist and knees has also improved significantly, and his physical strength has returned to its peak in recent years. The color and foam of his urine have returned to normal.
Seeing that he was better, Zhang Dazhi refused to stay there anymore. There was still a lot of work to do at the station, and it would not be good to take a long leave. Zeng Wen and Zhang Cheng tried to persuade him for a long time, but he was still stubborn and refused to continue living there. The two had no choice but to ask Tian Cai for his opinion.
"Well," Tian Cai pondered for a moment, "It's not impossible to go back. I'll prescribe some medicine for him. He'll be fine after taking it for a while. He doesn't have to stay here."
"So, is he completely recovered now?" Zeng Wen asked hurriedly when he saw that Tian Cai also agreed to go back.
"It's not completely cured. Your uncle has chronic nephritis, which has damaged the glomeruli over the years. This condition cannot be completely cured. Take two courses of the medicine I prescribed and as long as you take good care of yourself, you won't have a relapse for many years."
"Even if you feel unwell again, as long as you don't have any other abnormal symptoms, you can continue to take the medicine according to this prescription and take a few more doses. If you have any problems, you can call me directly. You know my phone number, right?"
Zeng Wen thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. It was not easy to cure his uncle to this condition. In the hospital in Beijing before, the doctor also said that his uncle's disease could not be cured at all, unless medical science developed in the future and a kidney transplant was possible. However, it was not known how many years it would take for a kidney transplant to be possible!
After confirming that it would not be a problem for Zhang Dazhi to go back and take medicine to recuperate, the few of them packed up and returned to Beijing. Before leaving, not to mention the medical expenses, they thanked Tian Cai profusely. Later, Tian Cai was left with no choice but to say that if they didn't leave, they would miss the train. Only then did they leave.
After this group of people left, Tian Cai was still busy. People came to see him one after another. Tian Cai felt that Zhang Defa was right. It was not a good idea to go on like this for a long time, so he decided to find Gu Changhe to discuss it.
The reason why she felt that this was not a solution was that she was both a member of the production team of the Beishan Brigade and the director of the sanatorium. Logically, she should not have to work in both places. However, neither the Qianjin Commune nor the army agreed to let her leave, so she could only make do with it.
Everything comes first at the sanatorium. Only after making sure that all the work there is completed can Tian Cai see patients who come to the village for treatment.
Ever since she arrived in Kaoshan Village, the Beishan Brigade has not charged any consultation fees for her own patients, and only charges a small portion of the medicine fee for prescriptions. She still needs to pay the money she receives to the brigade once a month.
In the past, when people from other brigades came to see a doctor, most of the medical fees and medicine costs had to be handed over to the production team. Tian Cai could only get a small portion, and it was Zhang Defa and Li Tiegang who made an exception for him.
In the past two years, her reputation has spread further and further, and the number of people coming from other places to see her has gradually increased. The money she earns has gradually reached a considerable figure.
When money and grain were distributed to the people in the production team at the end of the year, every household was grinning from ear to ear.
Zhang Defa felt that this was not a good idea. He contacted Li Tiegang several times and wanted to cancel Tian Cai's status as a grassroots doctor. Since the food supply relationship had been transferred, she should be completely under the jurisdiction of the sanatorium. Tian Cai would still have to treat patients in the future, so all those who wanted to see a doctor would have to go through the army or military hospital. As for how to treat them there, they would have to make their own rules.
Otherwise, he would feel that it was too much to handle such a large sum of money for Tian Cai's medical treatment in the hands of their small production team.
But Li Tiegang refused every time he proposed it, and the relationship between the two became quite unpleasant.
"Put aside your selflessness. Let me tell you, our team has already taken very good care of Comrade Xiaotian. Logically, since her household registration has been transferred to the army, we shouldn't calculate her work points anymore. We also gave her grain during the autumn harvest. These are completely unnecessary, but we gave them to her. Then, the money she spent on medical treatment can be kept by our team without any problem. And the medicinal materials are still purchased in the name of the team, right?"
