Unable to persuade her, Zhang Sinian had to stay at home.
At noon, after helping Zhang Xinxin make lunch, he and Tian Kai walked towards the home of the village chief Zhang Wende.
The two of them didn't come back to play this time, but they had a mission.
Furthermore, Zhang Sinian was still thinking about some people and some things.
Ever since Ruan Mengmeng said at the dinner table last time that she wanted to move out, he has kept this matter firmly in mind.
Now that he had some time, he planned to ask Zhang Wende if there were any vacant houses in the village that could be rented out.
He is not at home all year round and doesn't know much about the situation in the village. For many things, he still has to ask the village chief Zhang Wende.
The two houses are not far from each other, and it only takes seven or eight minutes to walk there.
Tian Kai, this follower, follows him around all the time. He doesn't want to leave him at home, so he has to keep him with him all the time.
The two of them walked quickly and soon arrived at the village chief's house.
It was broad daylight and the door was not closed. Zhang Sinian stood outside and shouted.
"Uncle Dawen, are you home?"
Su Juhua, who heard the shouting in the yard, responded.
"Who is it? The door is not closed, come in!"
After getting permission, Zhang Sinian took Tian Kai directly into the courtyard.
After looking around, he didn't see any trace of Zhang Wende.
Only the village chief's daughter-in-law, Su Juhua, and her two chubby little grandsons were at home.
"Aunt Su, isn't Uncle Dawen at home?"
Zhang Sinian took out a few fruit candies from his pocket and gave them to two little kids who were playing in the yard.
"It's Xiaonian, when did you come back?"
Su Juhua was standing in the corner of the yard, feeding several big hens in the chicken coop.
I turned around and saw Zhang Sinian and a young man I didn't know.
He put down the chicken feed in his hand, wiped his hands, and walked over.
“I came back a few days ago!”
Zhang Sinian replied.
"Uncle Wen went to the fields. Normally, he would have been back by this time. Who knows what happened today? He didn't even come back for lunch. I wonder if something happened to him...!"
In the past, when it was time for lunch, the old man would come back on time without anyone calling him.
I don’t know what’s going on today. It’s already this late, but I haven’t seen anyone.
Don't mention it, she's a little worried!
As she spoke, she frowned. Could it be that this old man was tripped up by something and couldn't come back?
He couldn't come back, and he didn't even ask someone to tell him, so she wouldn't have to prepare dinner and wait for him at home.
Seeing that she was lost in thought, Zhang Sinian looked at Tian Kai.
"Then you go ahead and do your work, Auntie. I'll go check on the fields!"
Su Juhua was taking care of two babies by herself and was too busy to handle everything.
There is no way to help them call Zhang Wende back, so they should go to the fields to find him themselves!
"Sure, you've seen him, and by the way, ask him to come back for dinner!"
Su Juhua came back to her senses and gave Zhang Sinian some advice.
"Okay, then we'll go over there first!"
Su Juhua escorted the two of them to the door.
After watching the two people walk away, she turned around and went back to the yard to continue feeding her chickens.
The two people left the village chief's house and prepared to go to the fields to find Zhang Wende.
After walking around for a long time, I still didn't see Zhang Wende.
Zhang Wende and two women from the village hurriedly carried Aunt Wu to the clinic.
Along the way, Aunt Wu foamed at the mouth, rolled her eyes, twitched her body, and couldn't utter a word.
The two young women who carried her were both frightened and felt extremely unlucky, but they did not dare to disobey the village chief's order.
Unless, they don’t want work points anymore.
Even if I knew, this was something unusual.
But since the village chief had spoken, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and send the person to the old village doctor.
The clinic is some distance away from here, just next to the brigade headquarters.
By the time they lifted the person up, both of them were sweating from exhaustion.
The sun is very strong and hot at noon. People can sweat even if they just stand there motionless.
Not to mention, these two people were carrying a person in their hands and walked such a long distance.
Village chief Zhang Wende was not much better off.
He was already in his late 50s, and he was running back and forth, getting anxious and sweating all over.
In the clinic, the old village doctor Chen Dashu was talking to a woman with a child in the village.
"Go home and boil it. Drink it for three days at most and the child will be fine. Remember, don't give the child cold or raw food!"
"Yeah, okay, I got it!"
The woman standing in front of the table nodded to indicate that she had remembered it.
"Uncle Chen, how much is it?"
As the woman spoke, she reached into her coat pocket.
"These are all herbs I dug myself, they're not worth much, just give me ten cents!"
The medicines approved by the higher authorities are rationed every month, and villagers will go to the town to collect them on time.
But they are all antipyretics and anti-inflammatory drugs. Not only are they relatively expensive, they are mainly used for emergency conditions.
For common chronic diseases, there is basically no need for it, just some herbal medicine will be enough.
The herbs are all picked from the mountains behind Chen Dashu’s village. Apart from labor, there is no other cost.
The main reason is that as a Chinese medicine practitioner, Lao Chen has more trust in the herbal medicine he has been using for a lifetime.
He used Western medicine as an emergency backup.
The villagers have long been accustomed to it.
Only when you go to a big hospital and have a serious illness will you get an IV and use Western medicine.
“Okay, okay!”
In order to make the child's illness completely cured, the woman asked Lao Chen to prescribe five days of medicine.
Five days of herbal medicine costs only one cent, which is really not expensive.
The woman readily took out a dime and handed it over.
Old Chen's ancestors were all doctors, and he himself has been a village doctor in the village for many years.
Treating the villagers here is actually no different from going to work.
It’s just that it doesn’t need to be exposed to the sun, wind or rain.
There are also a fixed number of work points every day, plus a monthly subsidy of more than ten yuan.
He is old now and can't work in the fields anymore.
After getting the medicine, the woman left the clinic with her child.
As soon as I walked out the door, I met Zhang Wende and others.
"Uncle Dawen is here!"
The woman said hello and was about to leave, but she saw two people behind the village chief, or to be exact, three people.
"Um!"
Zhang Wende was anxious, fearing that something might have happened to Aunt Wu, and he was in no mood to talk much. He just nodded lightly and walked into the house.
Seeing the two women behind her holding a charred person in their hands, she paused and looked at them in surprise with wide eyes.
"What's going on?"
The two women who were carrying Aunt Wu knew that she was struck by lightning, but the village chief was still there and did not dare to say anything nonsense. He just winked at the women and shook his head.
