Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 1746 Happy cooperation

"Elbow, how are you doing in school?" Just as he said this, his uncle came in with two porcelain bowls: "This is the herbal tea your aunt made. We are poor here, so we all drink this."

"Thank you, uncle." Zhou Zhi quickly served him: "The bitter gourd tea prepared by aunt is very delicious. Every time I came to your house to play since I was a child, I would drink a lot of it."

“No matter how delicious the herbal tea is, it’s still not as good as the stewed eel with cucumber.” The uncle brought up the joke Zhou Zhi made when he was a child: “Elbow has had a talent for literature since he was young. He likes to eat stewed eel with cucumber, but he doesn’t say he likes it. Instead, he says he just wants to turn into a kitten, hold the eel in the bowl, and scurry up to the roof! Hahahaha…”

"But we don't cook now. We'll just go next door and order some dishes, and we'll have a simple meal at noon. Why did you go to Lianhe Township again? Are you not used to it?"

"There are a few Yi-related projects being carried out there. I'm actually quite used to it and I've become stronger."

"You can fool others but you can't fool me." The uncle shook his head and said, "What situation in the poor villages in the poor counties in the poor areas is not known to me better than you?"

"I'm already on the road this year, and I can take off my hat next year." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "Uncle, don't underestimate me."

"Oh? Come sit down, let me hear your idea." Uncle Yao quickly pulled Zhou Zhi to sit down: "If you dare to brag like that, you must have really achieved something."

"Don't you care about my studies?" Zhou Zhi asked with a thief's smile.

"You kid!" The uncle suddenly said seriously, "Are you having problems with your studies and want to use big words to fool me? The cane you gave me is right here. If you don't live up to your expectations, I'll take it out and beat you!"

"I don't believe it. Can you take it out and let me see it?" Zhou Zhi smiled even more.

"Hey, you still don't believe it?!" The uncle stood up and took out the crutches from behind the hanger where several white coats were hung: "Look and see if it's there!"

Zhou Zhi took out the graduation certificate and admission notice from his bag and handed them over, then took the cane and said, "My degree certificate is still at school. I left in a hurry and didn't have time to get it. You don't need to blame me for this, right?"

"Oh, you really got it?!" My uncle was so excited when he saw the graduation certificate on the red cover that he snatched it away and opened it: "Hahaha, you are really good! Others take four years to finish the coursework, but you finished it in two years! What is this?"

"Graduate admission certificate." Zhou Zhi unscrewed the bamboo cane head that had been rubbed to a patina, opened his bag and took out a gift box. He took out the red sandalwood cane head from it and screwed it back onto the purple bamboo cane. "My graduation thesis was originally about the origin of Yi writing. My master's grandfather gave me a surprise attack and invited a few old men to talk about the application scenarios of digital libraries. Fortunately, I usually pay close attention to this project and did not embarrass him."

"Very good, very good." The Su family in Dajing Township attaches great importance to academics, and the youngest uncle is no exception. He immediately shouted to the outside: "Huifang, Elbow has been admitted to graduate school. Ask Laowu to send some braised eel with cucumber for lunch!"

"I didn't take the exam, I was recommended." Zhou Zhi corrected with a smile: "Uncle is so interesting, he treats people differently according to their abilities!"

"I didn't look at the person, I looked at the grades!" The youngest uncle also corrected with a smile: "From childhood to adulthood, when has the cucumber and eel dish not been won based on academic performance? This time is no exception. Eh? Why did the head of the cane change?"

"This is a gift I brought to you." Zhou Zhi said, "I found a kind of agate stone in Lianhe Township and sent it to Suzhou to be carved by the masters."

The uncle didn't understand these things, but he felt that it was something extraordinary just by his senses and intuition: "Is this thing expensive? Don't be too extravagant."

"It's not expensive now." Zhou Zhi said, "It's basically just wages. The future is a matter for the future."

The youngest aunt was busy for a long time, and only came to the inner room after the cook, whom the youngest uncle called Lao Wu, brought the food over, and then she pulled Zhou Zhi to praise him. Zhou Zhi was the first graduate student from both sides of the family, so everyone was very happy.

The taste of Manzhou Restaurant is similar to that of Jiachuan, but it does not have some of Jiachuan's weird ethnic flavors such as litsea cubeba and fish coriander, but is closer to salty cuisine.

Salty dishes are oily, salty, spicy and delicious, but they are not good for the health of the elderly.

"It was only after I went to Lianhe Township this time that I realized how difficult the situation was." Zhou Zhi then talked to his uncle about the situation there and his own methods of poverty alleviation. After his explanation, his uncle and aunt couldn't help but sigh.

"In fact, poverty is easy to cure." Zhou Zhi picked up an eel tail for his grandmother and a cucumber for himself, and then said, "The most difficult thing is to get medical treatment. If the villagers have a headache or fever, they can only rely on the village bimo to help them. For complicated diseases, they can only be sent to the county town."

"The distance from there to the county town is not as far as Manzhou. From Lianhe Township to Meigu, even an experienced person like me would need more than three hours to drive on the mountain road. If I drive to the state, it would take at least that much time."

"I don't know what the situation is like in Dajing Township, my hometown." Grandma suddenly interrupted.

The grandmother and grandson had a tacit understanding, and Zhou Zhi immediately understood what his grandmother meant. The medical conditions in Dajing Township must not be very good, but fortunately there are not too many people. If his uncle and aunt are willing to return to their hometown to recuperate, it would be a good idea.

As the saying goes, fallen leaves return to their roots. The air in the countryside is fresh, the scenery is beautiful, the food is fresh, and the consumption level is low. If the two of them go back, they won't be as tired as they are now. They can also benefit the village and enjoy a peaceful life.

With their retirement salaries, they can live a very comfortable life in the countryside.

"I heard that my fifth uncle is still working as a barefoot doctor." Zhou Zhi fanned the flames: "It shows that the medical level in Dajing Township is really not that good."

"It is indeed a major problem that plagues our country's rural construction that farmers have difficulty seeing a doctor. Take Lianhe Township where I live as an example. Now we can only hope that the granddaughter of the great bimo graduates from the medical school. Several neighboring townships can barely find a place to go to the hospital."

"Can Laowu use his skills to become a doctor? He just received emergency training for three months at a medical school." The youngest aunt frowned.

"Huifang, how about we go back to Dajing Township?" said the youngest uncle. "We are just icing on the cake in Manzhou City. We still have to go back to our hometown to help in times of need."

"My fifth uncle is in Dajing Township, so everything will be easy." Zhou Zhi said, "My youngest uncle, your branch's homestead seems to still be there, right? But I'm afraid the house is no longer habitable, so it needs to be renovated."

"It doesn't necessarily have to be in Dajing. There may be more places that can be taken care of in Jiuji Town." My aunt is already considering the scope of her business.

"No matter where you are, Doctor Zhao can help. He is an old Chinese doctor in the county. Does Miss Fang still remember him?"

"Of course I remember. I treated you from paraplegia to walking with the help of a wall. Your medical skills are very good." The youngest aunt smiled and said, "If we want to open a clinic in Jiachuan, we must pay homage to these old masters."

The grandmother and granddaughter looked at each other and winked, and the matter was most likely settled. Happy cooperation!
