The old man was very touched, but he was afraid of wasting time so he drove the ox cart back to the commune to pick people up.
After the old man drove away in the ox cart, Tong Yiya closed the gate of the courtyard and began to move things into the house one by one and put them away. It took her two hours to put everything in place.
Now her room and kitchen are furnished with furniture that she likes. Although they were all bought from scrap yards, the wood used is all good quality and there are no unusual patterns.
Now her room is furnished with the furniture she needs. In addition to the original cabinets and boxes, there are now basin racks, desks and chairs, a kang cabinet, and a wardrobe.
There was also a cupboard in the kitchen, as well as a locked cabinet and several jars, which were already filled with various grains and dried vegetables.
Various seasonings in small ceramic jars were also placed on the stove, and the two empty pot positions were replaced with a large and a small iron pot, both equipped with wooden lids and iron spoons.
After cleaning up the house, it was already afternoon. She took a hoe and began to turn the land in the yard in preparation for planting vegetables.
Fortunately, she had followed Aunt Juan and others to farm in the past few years, so she still had some farming knowledge.
She spent the entire afternoon turning over the vegetable plots on both sides of the path, and it was already evening.
Tong Yiya cooked her first meal in her new home in the evening. She fried some cabbage and scrambled eggs and cooked some dry rice.
After preparing the meal, she sat down and started to eat. She was very satisfied with the best meal she had recently. She then cleaned up the kitchen and went back to the house to rest.
She entered the space and stayed there until ten o'clock in the evening before coming out. She slept on her own small kang that night, and nothing major happened that night.
The next morning she woke up at her usual time, got up, dressed herself and went to open the door of her yard. After all, she was a barefoot doctor now, and it was not good to keep the door closed all day.
The courtyard gate was open so that others could see from afar whether someone was at home or not. She planned to continue planting various vegetables in the vegetable garden at home in the morning.
In the afternoon, if there were no patients coming, she would go up the mountain to dig some herbs, otherwise the medicines she got from the commune were too little.
She was busy in the yard in the morning, and no one came here all morning. Tong Yiya planted various seeds in all the vegetable fields.
It was noon when she finished planting the vegetables. She heated up the vegetables that she hadn't finished yesterday, made rice soup with the leftover rice and water from last night, and steamed a bun. That was her meal.
After lunch, seeing that no one was coming over here, she carried a small bamboo basket, took the medicine hoe, closed the gate, and walked towards the mountain closer to this side.
As soon as she went up the mountain, she saw many common herbs. Since these herbs are relatively common, some villagers would take them back to feed pigs and cows, but they did not know that these are medicinal herbs that can cure diseases.
Tong Yiya picked some of each medicinal herb. She mostly looked for herbs that were effective for colds and fevers, and also dug some those that could clear heat.
She dug as she walked, and soon she had dug half a basket full. She also dug some anti-inflammatory and hemostatic herbs.
She dug all the way to the middle of the mountain and her backpack was already full. She dug around nearby and harvested quite a few more herbs. When the backpack couldn't hold them all, she threw them into the space.
When she felt she had almost finished digging, she picked up the basket on the ground, picked up the medicine hoe, and went down the mountain along the path.
After going down the mountain and returning to the courtyard, she opened the gate and saw several people carrying a man towards her from afar. Tong Yiya hurriedly pushed the gate open, went in quickly, put down the basket, scooped up water to wash her hands, and the people also arrived at the gate.
Tong Yiya saw blood dripping from the foot of the person being carried. She quickly moved a chair out to the yard and shouted to the others, "What happened? Put the person on the chair and let me check the wound to stop the bleeding."
"Hey, Tong Zhiqing, I don't know what happened to this kid today. He was distracted while turning the soil and dug his leg. He started bleeding immediately. The team leader asked me to carry him over here so you can take a look." The uncle who was carrying the boy put him on a chair and told the whole story.
When Tong Yiya heard that the injured body was in the leg, she was afraid that the bone was broken. Her treatment skills were not yet up to par, so she could only check it first. If she couldn't cure it herself, she would quickly stop the bleeding so that someone could send the body to the commune hospital.
As soon as the people were seated, she squatted down and rolled up the man's trouser legs. Seeing that his leg was covered in blood and she couldn't see the size of the wound at all, she quickly got up and went to the infirmary to get the medicine box, and then picked out some hemostatic herbs from her backpack.
He took the herbs to a few people and handed them to one of the men, saying, "Comrade, please clean the herbs and crush them to stop the bleeding."
"Oh... OK, I'll get it right away." The man was stunned at first, but after he reacted, he quickly took the herbs and went to deal with them.
Tong Yiya squatted down beside the injured man's legs again, opened the medical box on the side, took out some alcohol from it and said, "I'll clean your wound. It will be a little painful, just bear with it."
After saying that, without caring about other people's reactions, he poured some alcohol around the bleeding area. The blood was washed away and the wound was revealed.
Tong Yiya heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the wound. She wiped the blood around the wound with cotton cloth dipped in alcohol, then turned around and said to the person who was helping to process the herbs: "Are the herbs ready? Bring them here when they are ready."
After hearing that, the man ran over with a slate in his hand. On the slate was some crushed herbs. Tong Yiya grabbed it and applied it on the wound. Within a minute, the bleeding stopped.
When Tong Yiya saw that there was no more bleeding, she took out gauze from a box beside her and fixed the medicine residue on the wound. While bandaging it, she said, "The wound is not very big, there is no big problem. Just don't let it get wet for five or six days. Come back tomorrow to change the medicine."
When they heard that it was nothing serious, the light in their eyes brightened a lot. In the past, there was no doctor in the village, so when they were injured, they would just sprinkle some wood ash on the wound. Sometimes the wound was big and the bleeding could not be stopped, so in the end they had to go to the commune hospital and pay for stitches, which was another huge expense.
Today, seeing that this educated youth Tong stopped the bleeding with just a few herbs, they had more confidence in her ability to become the village's barefoot doctor.
Tong Yiya treated the wound for the man and told him to eat some blood-boosting food when he got home. She picked out a few herbs with anti-inflammatory properties from the basket and said, "Take these herbs home and boil them in water to prevent inflammation of the wound. OK, you can take them back and remember to come back tomorrow to change the medicine."
After Tong Yiya finished speaking, several people thanked her, carried her on their backs and left the courtyard. Soon, the news of Tong Yiya's excellent medical skills spread throughout Dengjia Village.
