The three old men looked up at the sky together and saw that it was indeed raining. They got up, picked up their tools and started harvesting the crops.
The food will be ruined if it is soaked in water.
They were harvesting without stopping, and it was like a war was going on in the fields.
Xu Guoqiang held up a loud speaker and shouted at the top of his voice, "Don't harvest the unharvested rice yet. Bundle the harvested rice. Bag the threshed rice, load it onto the tractor, and take it back to the warehouse for storage."
Thinking of the threshing ground, he said again, "Dashan, take your group to the threshing ground to help collect the grain. Hurry!"
Everyone followed his instructions, tying bundles, loading, and carrying. Soon the tractor was full. Wang Jiaxing started the car and drove towards the granary.
Xu Jianmin and three old men had already gathered all the food into piles. Xu Dashan rushed over with seven or eight people and started working without saying a word.
A group of more than a dozen people worked so hard that they didn't even have time to catch their breath. Finally, they collected all the food before the heavy rain came.
Xu Dashan led the young people to carry the food away. The three old men stood under the tree, panting and wiping their sweat.
Uncle Xu's old face was full of smiles. "At least the food wasn't soaked." As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes rolled back and he fell forward.
"Third brother!" Uncle Xu Liu and Xu Yongfu grabbed him.
Uncle Xu Liu hurriedly took his pulse and discovered that he was exhausted from overwork and extreme stress. He pinched his nose and called out, "Third Brother, Third Brother, wake up."
"Sixth brother, the person is not conscious. What should we do?" Xu Yongfu asked anxiously.
Xu Yongfu is half a year younger than Uncle Xu Liu, but he looks much older than Uncle Xu Liu. When he saw someone falling in front of him, he suddenly panicked.
Uncle Xu Liu was very calm. "It's nothing serious. Don't worry. Take it to the clinic and let my granddaughter take a look."
"My granddaughter was there too." Xu Yongfu's face was full of pride.
The two old men carried the person to the clinic and found that many people who had fainted had already been carried there, and there was no room left in the clinic.
"What happened to Third Uncle?" Li Xiyue had just finished treating the patient and asked hurriedly when he saw this.
Uncle Xu Liu said, "It should be similar to their situation."
"There are no beds available. Let Uncle San sit down. I'll check on him first." Li Xiyue moved over a chair with an armchair.
After helping the man sit down on a chair, Li Xiyue's diagnosis and treatment came to the same conclusion as Uncle Xu Liu. "He's overworked. I'll give him some acupuncture and then have his family come and take him home to rest. He'll be fine."
"Grandpa, are you okay?" Xu Baiwei walked over and asked nervously.
Xu Yongfu smiled and waved his hands, "Grandpa is fine, Weiwei, go and do your own thing, don't worry about Grandpa."
He was used to farm work and had done much more tiring work before, so this was nothing to him.
Xu Baiwei felt relieved and continued to work.
Li Xiyue saw the big raindrops falling outside. After a while, the rain poured down with thunder and lightning. She said to the two old people, "You can rest here for a while. It's raining so hard that we can't leave."
"Yueyue, let me help." said Uncle Xu Liu.
Xu Yongfu couldn't help, so he said, "Then I'll sit here and watch over the third brother."
More patients were sent in one after another, and the clinic was very busy.
Seeing his granddaughter following Li Xiyue, doing things steadily and skillfully, with a calm expression and not a trace of panic, Xu Yongfu nodded approvingly.
His granddaughter has met a noble man. She is like two different people now. He likes his granddaughter more now. She is confident, steady, responsible, and looks like an adult.
He believed that his granddaughter would become as capable and promising as Dr. Li in the future.
Even if he and his wife die now, they can rest in peace.
Unlike before, the granddaughter was left alone, and he and his wife didn't even dare to die, for fear that if they died, the granddaughter would not be able to survive.
Summer rain comes and goes quickly. After a heavy downpour, the sky clears up again. The sky is as blue as if washed by water, and the clouds are glowing white.
The patients woke up one after another and were taken home by their families.
There is still grain in the fields that has not been harvested, so the work has to continue. Except for those who are sick and have half a day off, everyone else continues to work.
The summer rains came in waves, like a sudden attack, making it impossible to guard against them. For the next few days, it rained suddenly like this, and the members were in great trouble.
After finally harvesting the rice, they then harvested peanuts, soybeans, corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes.
After working hard for half a month, the summer harvest was finally over, but the members had no time to rest as they had to continue summer plowing.
The staple food in the south is rice, and rice is the most important. There are two seasons a year, early rice and late rice.
After harvesting the early rice, late rice seedlings have to be planted. After planting the seedlings, autumn peanuts, autumn soybeans, autumn corn, autumn sweet potatoes, etc. have to be planted.
Vegetables, fruits and melons also have to be planted twice a year so that there will be enough food to survive the winter.
The production team worked hard for a whole month and finally finished planting all the crops before August 1st.
After the busy farming season, another large number of people fell ill, and the clinic was extremely busy every day.
The large number of patients is an excellent learning and training opportunity for Xu Baiwei. The experience she has accumulated in this month alone is more than that in more than a year.
Xu Baiwei is smart and studious, and is making progress day by day.
For doctors, theoretical knowledge is important, but practical experience is more important, especially for all-round doctors like barefoot doctors, who have to know some of Chinese medicine, Western medicine, or veterinary medicine.
Of course, there is no need to be too specialized. After all, barefoot doctors are the lowest level of medical resources, and above them are commune health centers, county hospitals and provincial hospitals.
As long as Xu Baiwei can pass the barefoot doctor assessment, it will be fine.
Time flies in the busyness, and autumn comes in the blink of an eye.
