Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 518, All Sick
Xie Hongsan smiled and said, "Just let us talk about this, don't go out and say anything else!"

Yang Xiaole naturally knew it, so he just made a joke.

Then he asked, "Then how do you trade the things you got?"

"Oh, there aren't many people where we are, it's just a small town. There are state-owned stores that specialize in buying furs and meat. If you sell hunting items there, no one will care. Food is very scarce there, and the supply of flour, potatoes, etc. is tight..."

Yang Xiaole listened quietly.

The Russians' ticket system is basically the same as ours.

It’s just that they have much fewer types of tickets now, compared to the many types they used to have.

These tickets are mainly for food. Industrial products do not require tickets. As long as you have money, you can buy them in the state-owned stores over there.

This made him see a report in later generations.

In 72, Russia imported 2800 million tons of grain, of which 1800 million tons came from the United States.

This was also equivalent to helping the Americans, who had overcapacity in agriculture at the time.

"Who are the people over there? Do they often fight? How do you remember the past?"

"Fight, of course I would fight. The first time I went there was eight or nine years ago. I was so hungry at that time that I ran to the other side to get food. Most of the people went there at that time, and some have gone there in the past two years."

Yang Xiaole calculated that three years of difficult times had passed.

At that time, Xie Hongsan should not be very old, probably less than 20 years old.

"Then when are you leaving?"

"We have to leave before the river opens. I guess we can only stay for a month at most!"

Yang Xiaole nodded when he heard this. The opening of the river actually means when the ice on the river melts and cracks.

Seeing that he had already arrived at the educated youth point, he smiled and said, "I'm almost there, so don't send me off."

Seeing him say that, Xie Hongsan looked at it and nodded: "Okay, I won't send you off. I'll have to trouble Yang Zhiqing to take care of my wife and children."

Yang Xiaole nodded, said hello, and walked towards the educated youth point.

When I came back with the things, everyone at the educated youth site had already gotten up and were brushing their teeth and washing their faces.

Yang Xiaole naturally followed behind and brushed his teeth and washed his face.

……

On that day, the news that the educated youth from BJ could cure the "Seven-Day Wind" spread throughout the production team in an instant through Tiehua's mouth.

It became a topic of conversation among the people.

After Yang Xiaole finished washing up, he walked towards the breeding room.

When I passed by the health room, someone was already there sorting things out.

It was Xie Hongwen who was seen taking the lead yesterday.

When I arrived at the breeding room, I saw Lao Quantou squatting behind the horse's butt, exposing his lower body.

Professor Ma and others were watching there.

Yang Xiaole was also curious.

When I got closer, I saw Lao Quantou putting his hand into the feces, rubbing it there, and occasionally putting it to his nose to smell it.

After taking a look, he asked Professor Ma, "Old Ma, what is Uncle Quan doing?"

Professor Ma smiled bitterly: "Comrade Quan said that we fed too much at night, saying... saying..."

Some I dare not say.

Yang Xiaole thought for a moment and asked, "Does that mean you ate the food?"

No matter what kind of livestock it is, they must be fed some corn or beans in the winter to provide more nutrition.

During the most difficult three years, the villagers had no soybeans to eat, but the livestock could get a little bit every day.

Although the quantity is not much.

But it’s much better than humans.

The animals you bring back must be eaten at night.

Given how sickly they are, most people don't believe them when they say they can eat a lot.

This animal is just like humans. Once it is sick, most of them will lose their appetite.

When Old Quan heard this, he stood up.

He glanced at a few people, opened the door of the stable, walked out, nodded at him, and then left.

After washing his hands, he came back and asked curiously, "Yang Zhiqing, what kind of medicine did you make?"

"What's wrong? Is the animal healed?"

Yang Xiaole didn't answer, but asked out of curiosity.

Hearing this, Lao Quantou shook his head and said anxiously: "These animals shouldn't be so greedy! But these animals eat much more than the animals in our team, and I checked, and their feces are also very healthy."

Then he scratched his head and asked, "What medicine are you using?"

Yang Xiaole shook his head upon hearing this: "I really can't tell you this. When I got this prescription, they made me swear not to reveal it. But...they also said that it can cure sick animals!"

Hearing this, Lao Quan became anxious.

Just after the liberation, there was a campaign to donate medical treatment and prescriptions, and people took the initiative to contribute various prescriptions.

But in reality, a prescription is just a prescription, and some details of the actual treatment are still kept.

These are called stunts.

Yang Xiaole looked at the other person's expression and said with a smile, "Uncle Quan, how do these animals look? Can they survive?"

Lao Quantou hesitated for a moment.

He shook his head: "I don't know, but looking at the situation, he will definitely not die."

Although eating, drinking, defecating and urinating cannot represent the condition of an animal, they can partially reflect the health status of the animal.

As for whether he can survive, only God knows.

While he was thinking, Xie Laosi walked in with his right hand behind his back and his pipe in his left hand.

Smoke was coming out.

"Captain!"

Everyone greeted him when they saw him come in.

Xie Laosi nodded, took a puff of his cigarette, and asked, "How is it?"

Naturally, the one to ask is Lao Quantou.

Lao Quantou looked back and told the truth.

After hearing this, Xie Laosi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He nodded gently: "That's good, I really couldn't sleep well last night!"

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole joked, "I didn't see you get up in the middle of the night to check on what was going on!"

Xie Laosi glared at him.

After asking again, he said, "Someone has gone to clean up the infirmary, and it will be ready today. Tiehua's father also told me about the kang, and I promised him."

Yang Xiaole nodded: "Got it, we are still short of a few charcoal stoves and clay pots, we need to buy some of these to make medicine!"

The stove can only be used to steam needles, gauze and other things.

It can’t be used to make medicine.

Xie Lao Si thought for a moment and said, "Then go find Da Qiangqiang and tell her what you want to buy. In a few days, someone will buy it when they go to the commune to buy something. Just say that I told them to buy it. Now, here are some. Take two back and use them first."

"okay!"

The matter was settled, and Xie Laosi asked Lao Quantou to pull an animal and tie it to a sled.

Yang Xiaole was surprised when he saw this: "Captain, what are you doing?"

"Go to the commune for a meeting."

"Oh!"

Now that Lao Gao has entered the hospital, there will naturally be a new leader and a meeting is inevitable.

, Xie Laosi thought of something and said, "By the way, Xiaole, please don't spread Xie Hongsan's affairs around."

They are all from the same family.

Naturally, Xie Laosi needs to be taken care of.

Yang Xiaole agreed after hearing this: "I know, don't worry, if you told me, I would have come to you a long time ago."

Hearing this, Xie Laosi naturally nodded.

Yang Xiaole looked at him, thought of something and asked, "By the way, Captain, Xie Hongsan is at the Russians' place. Actually, there are some things we can ask him to help get over!"

"Oh, what did you say?"

"There are so many! We can get whatever we need here! Medicines, livestock, it's such a waste to leave all these good resources unused!"

"We don't have the money there, so what can we exchange? We don't even have enough food to eat!"

Yang Xiaole thought about it and it seemed to be true!

The other side belongs to Siberia, which is vast and sparsely populated, and has no shortage of various resources.

What is most lacking is actually flour.

I can’t eat this thing as much as I want!
Of course it is impossible to exchange these things.

"Okay, go do your thing. I have to go to the commune for a meeting."

After the sled was ready, Xie Lao Si tidied up his clothes, wrapped them tightly, said hello, and drove the sled out. Yang Xiaole watched him leave, looked at Lao Quantou, and smiled: "Uncle Quan, the captain said that I can take one of the pots and charcoal stoves for boiling medicine back to use first."

Upon hearing this, Old Quan became anxious and wanted to know how the animal was cured.

But in the end I gave up.

After all, the other party said that this matter cannot be discussed.

I could only agree: "Okay, take it yourself!"

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole went over and took out a set of things.

After saying hello to Old Man Ma and his companions, he walked towards the village.

When I passed by the agency store, I saw Da Ran Ran sitting inside, scrubbing the saline bottle out of boredom.

"Hey, Yang Zhiqing! Buying things?"

Seeing him shouting and laughing, I greeted him and stopped what I was doing.

"Sister-in-law, I'm not buying anything. The captain asked me to tell you to bring back two sets of this thing next time you buy it."

Yang Xiaole said with a smile.

He gestured to what was in his hand.

Da Ran Ran took a look and said, "Oh, the medicine jar! OK, next time they go to get something, I'll bring you two sets."

"Okay then, thank you!"

"Hey, why are you so polite?"

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole just smiled, said hello and left the store.

When he returned to the educated youth point, everyone looked at his things with curiosity.

Yang Xiaole looked at the girls and said, "Next time you cook, remember to help me simmer some carbon. I'm useful."

Liu Yan stretched her head to take a look and asked: "You use this to make medicine?"

"Well, you can't make medicine without carbon."

As Yang Xiaole spoke, he dug out some charcoal from under the stove and tried to find a way to ignite it.

Liu Yan and the others naturally agreed to this request.

It's just a matter of convenience anyway.

Everyone in the room was playing cards, while Yang Xiaole was preparing some medicine and starting to boil it.

In fact, it is just a warm tonic medicine, and the price is very cheap.

You have to show off.

I boiled the medicine, cooled it, and bottled it, then gave some to Old Quantou to feed the animals.

I didn’t give that much this time.

I gave him a thermos and told him to put a little water in it every time the animals drank water. I didn't want to go through the trouble of boiling medicine every day.

I also gave some to Xie Hongsan.

After we move, we won’t have to go through so much trouble.

Just boil some medicine there and let people smell it.

I did nothing all day but boil medicine.

In the afternoon, I came to the clinic to see how the cleanup was going.

Feng Aijun, who knew that he was moving away, also followed him.

At this time, all the things in the house had been moved out.

The house was left empty.

Xie Danian hasn't come over to get anything yet.

"Hey, Xiaole, your job as a hygienist is so easy! No one has come to see you for two or three days, it's so easy, and you have your own room, why don't you let me do it!"

Feng Aijun also came over, looked around the room, and talked with a grin on his face.

Yang Xiaole gave him an unpleasant look.

Feng Aijun smiled when he saw this.

He looked around the room and asked, "Hey, your kang is so big, how about I come and live with you? I have endured the smelly feet and snoring in that room for so long."

"Just bear with it! You'll get used to it!"

Yang Xiaole ignored him.

Look at this house.

I'm planning on getting some stuff done to fix up the house so it looks like a residence.

"Yang Xiaole!"

While I was thinking, Xie Honglin at the door shouted.

When Yang Xiaole walked out of the house, he saw Xie Honglin holding something in his hand. He smiled and said, "I knew you were here! There's a letter for you!"

"My letter?"

I took it curiously.

It takes time for the letter from Sijiu City to get here, how come it arrives so soon?

Xizi's?
I didn't expect that the letter was from this guy Xizi.

But it’s true that the letters from the other party arrive much later than from other places, and communication there is not very convenient.

"Linzi, is there anything for us?"

Feng Aijun asked with a smile.

Xie Honglin shook his head: "No! It's Yang Xiaole's."

Seeing him say this, Feng Aijun didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Xie Honglin said, "Xiao Le, go to the brigade headquarters for a meeting later. I'm leaving first."

"I understand, you go back first!"

Yang Xiaole agreed, and after watching Xie Honglin leave, he opened the letter and read it.

Then he frowned.

"Brother, I don't know when it started, but I feel like we are sick, and maybe our country is sick too... The faith we once upheld is gone at this moment..."

Read it carefully.

What he was talking about was naturally all his experiences since he went to the countryside.

And what I saw and heard.

In other words, Xizi didn't just feel this way all of a sudden.

But this idea had been in my mind since the last time I took a walk outside, but now this feeling is like a seed.

After germination, it begins to thrive.

After reading it, he put the letter away.

Meditating there.

I have never instilled in them the ideas of later generations.

It doesn't feel necessary, this is something they need to experience.

And if you say too much, it may conflict with their ideas.

Apart from the fact that he had been to the black market to make a living, nothing else was too outrageous.

Therefore, Xizi and others’ ideas are basically the same as those of people of this era.

Of course, there are still some differences subtly.

"what happened?"

Feng Aijun next to him asked curiously.

"Oh, it's okay! The letter from my brother just told me about his situation over there!"

"Xizi! Isn't he in northern Shaanxi? How is he?"

"It's not bad! It's about the same as ours, except that they are much poorer than us. There is a severe shortage of food, and the most lacking thing is water..."

Yang Xiaole casually talked about the situation.

Not much was said.

Feng Aijun didn't say anything after hearing this.

Yang Xiaole took a look and said, "Okay, go back! I'm going to a meeting."

Now is the slack season for farming, and he plans to visit the northwest.

Because this guy mentioned the water problem in the village in his letter.

It costs a lot of money to dig a well.

He was a little worried.

This guy should not do anything rash, otherwise we will be in trouble.

Because it mentioned that many people there went to the coal mines to do side jobs.

PS: I haven’t been in a good state recently, so I’m going to take a day off today. Sorry!
