Chapter 180 Preparing to Return to Beijing for the New Year



After the three of them finished their meal, they went out to the captain's house to find him. It was winter now and the team headquarters was too cold without firewood, so the captain and his men had all gone back to their respective homes.

If I need to find them for something during this period, I will go directly to their homes.

The captain had heard a long time ago that Fu Shinian and his friend were going back home to celebrate the New Year, so when he saw them coming he just thought they wanted to get a letter of introduction and go back as soon as possible.

Several people entered the house and sat down before they began to talk about their visit to the captain. Fu Shinian asked first: "Captain uncle, we came here today to ask when our village will distribute meat and fish this year?"

"Well, I discussed it with the accountant yesterday and decided to start slaughtering the pigs in three days." This was nothing that could not be said, so the team leader told them.

"Then please ask the captain to give us three a letter of introduction. The three of us are planning to go back to Beijing to celebrate the New Year this year. I also want to bring Tong Zhiqing to visit my home, and I hope the captain can help," said Fu Shinian.

When the captain heard that Tong Yiya was going, he immediately said, "Tong Zhiqing is going too. It's not that I don't want her to go, but the health station cannot be short of people. There is no one in the village who knows medical skills, so it's not easy for me to let her go."

"Captain, I have someone who recommended me to the health station. His medical skills are better than mine. You can ask him to help for a while. I have also prepared all the medicinal materials," Tong Yiya said.

"Oh...you said there is someone in the village who has better medical skills than you. Who is it? How come I, as the captain, have never heard of it?" the captain asked

Tong Yiya looked at his expression and realized that he really didn't know that Grandpa Zhang knew medicine, so she replied: "You actually know this person, Captain. His identity is quite special in the village, but his medical skills are better than mine. He can cure many diseases that I can't."

After hearing what she said, the captain went through all the people in the village in his mind and confirmed that there was no such person as she said. Then he asked directly: "Who is that person? Tell me directly."

"It's Mr. Zhang from the cowshed. He used to be a very good Chinese medicine practitioner," Tong Yiya said.

When the team leader heard that they were from the cowshed, he wanted to refuse immediately. Although he had given them the job of cleaning the cowshed and feeding the cows after he brought them to the village, he had never paid any attention to them except for arranging someone to deliver some coarse grains to them every month.

Tong Yiya didn't give him a chance to speak, and continued: "Captain, in fact, letting Mr. Zhang do the work of a barefoot doctor is also another way to work for the village. Not only that, you don't have to give him full work points and wages every day. You just need to give him some food to support him. Isn't it the same as before?

Besides, the situation outside isn't that chaotic anymore. These old people weren't sent here because they committed any serious wrongdoings. If they have a chance to go back in the future, it would be a good thing for you to take care of them now, Captain."

After listening to Tong Yiya's words, the captain thought about his recent visit to the county and realized that it was indeed not as chaotic as in previous years.

Seeing that he had softened his stance, Fu Shinian and Tong Yiya tried to persuade him for a while, and the captain was finally convinced and agreed.

But he still said to Tong Yiya: "I agreed to let him work in the infirmary while you are in Beijing, but if there is any problem with his treatment, you have to come back immediately to deal with it."

"Okay, captain uncle, don't worry. Just send me a telegram when the time comes. I will book a ticket back immediately after receiving it, and I will reimburse you for the telegram fee," Tong Yiya said with a smile.

"Okay, if everything is settled, the three of you will follow me to the brigade headquarters. I will prepare a letter of introduction for you. You should talk to Mr. Zhang two days before you leave and let him follow you for two days to get familiar with you. This way, the villagers can receive you after you leave," the brigade leader said.

"Okay, I'll try my best to arrange it," Tong Yiya nodded and agreed.

The three of them got up and followed the team leader, and went to the team headquarters to get three letters of introduction. This time the three of them would stay for about two months, so after getting the letters of introduction, the three of them went home.

That night, after Tong Yiya and Fu Shinian had finished their dinner, they left guard Dong at home to clean up. The two of them took the things they had prepared and went to the shed in the dark.

After Tong Yiya told Grandpa Zhang to help look after the infirmary for a while, he still didn't believe it and kept asking several times. After making sure that it wouldn't harm them, he nodded and agreed.

In fact, during this period, there is only one month when someone will come to see a doctor and get medicine. Around the New Year, no one in the village will come to see a doctor.

The two did not dare to stay in the shed for long. They agreed with Grandpa Zhang to pack some clothes and go to her house in two days, and then they went back with Fu Shinian.

The next day, Tong Yiya thought about building a small kang in the pharmacy so that when Grandpa Zhang came over, he could sleep here directly and it would be warmer.

The main reason was that after he came here, they were afraid that the road would be slippery in the snow when going back and forth to the shed. He was already an old grandfather, and they were afraid that he would fall and no one would notice.

The next day, the three of them dug some soil and brought it to the pharmacy to thaw it. The soil was frozen very hard in winter, and it took the three of them a lot of effort to dig.

Fortunately, there are still some bricks left at home, so we can build a small kang.

The kang is not very big, only about one and a half meters wide. In order to make the space in the pharmacy appear larger, Tong Yiya moved all the extra stools to her room.

There is only a table and two chairs left in the pharmacy, which are reserved for patients to sit on when seeing a doctor. Otherwise, she would have moved them all away.

After the three of them had lunch, they built the kang against the wall. It wasn’t a very big kang, so it took no time to build it. They lit a fire directly inside and dried the surface of the pit.

After a night and a morning of burning firewood, the kang was completely dry. Tong Yiya went to her room and found a mattress and two quilts. These were the ones she brought from her hometown when she went to the countryside. But since she moved to the courtyard, these beddings were too narrow, so she took out new ones from the space and used them. She took apart and washed these beddings and put them away.

It was already the next afternoon when the kang was made. In the evening, Grandpa Zhang came to Tong Yiya's house with a relatively complete set of clothes.

Looking at his clothes that were torn to the point of leaking cotton, they could see that the cotton inside the coat had turned black and clumped together. Usually, when they went to the shed, they saw that everyone was like this, so they didn't pay much attention. Now, Grandpa Zhang was standing in front of them alone, and Tong Yiya felt a little sad.

She quickly suppressed her sadness, walked forward with a smile, took Grandpa Zhang's arm, and said with a smile: "Why did you come here by yourself? I said we would prepare the meal and ask Shi Nian and others to pick you up."
