Go back to the prosperous days and become a layman

Chapter 557 Chapter 556 Getting acquainted
"This..." Tang Zhitong nodded awkwardly. They had to go through the topics one by one, and it would be a bit against the rules to let him speak first.

"Speak boldly. It's okay if you say something wrong. How can we old guys not tolerate a child?" The Two Bars and Four Stars encouraged kindly.

"Okay, I'll be bold enough to say something." Having said that, Tang Zhitong stopped being shy and picked up his notes, and began to talk about the opinions he had just compiled:

“Some doctors mentioned the treatment methods for some children’s diseases. My view is that prevention is better than cure.

There are people of the same age as me who have polio. Once a healthy child is infected with the disease, at the mildest, his hands and feet become stiff, and at the worst, he even has trouble speaking. The child suffers, and so does his family.

Children of my sister's age were born around the time of liberation. They have enjoyed state welfare and have been able to get vaccinated, which has solved the problem at its root.

Of course, not all diseases are covered. My sister got the vaccines for diphtheria and Japanese encephalitis.

My opinion is, can we contact the relevant departments to expand the scale of vaccine production or increase research and development efforts for polio, a common disease with a high disability rate, to solve this problem from the source? "

Tang Zhitong knew the diseases mentioned in the letter. Not to mention now, even in the 1980s and 1990s, there were still children in rural areas who were unfortunately infected. Ultimately, it was all about vaccines.

But this matter has far exceeded the responsibilities of the Women's Federation and the Editorial Committee, and the health department must take the lead.

There were also people from the health department at the scene, and Tang Zhitong was speaking to them.

"Also, after this revision, we will have to publish a new Barefoot Doctor Manual, which is not very friendly to the people who bought the first edition of the manual. It has only been a few months, and if you want to get the latest content, you have to buy it again.

I was thinking about whether I could publish a booklet and list the contents of this revision separately. This way the price would be much lower, which would save the public a lot of money.

The committee can even apply to publish a journal on its own.

Although there are many medical journals, magazines and newspapers now, the contents are too segmented and professional, and the subscribers are all personnel from related medical institutions, which is not very friendly to the educated young people who are determined to serve farmers.

We don't need to publish any experimental data in our journals. We can just directly tell what medicine is effective for what disease and how to use it.

After one or two years, the committee will organize these contents and add them to the next version of the Manual.

In addition, we can also publish some letters from the public on a regular basis and respond to issues of concern to the public in an open manner. "

"I am not very knowledgeable, that's all I have to say. Leaders and experts, please criticize and correct me." Tang Zhitong closed his notes and said his closing remarks.

"Comrade Xiao Tang thinks about problems from the perspective of the masses and his opinions are very pertinent, very good!" The two-bar four-star team was the first to applaud.

Ye Zhijuan was very happy. She had been smiling since her son-in-law mentioned the medicine and translation. Now she felt her face was almost stiff from smiling, but she still couldn't help laughing. She looked so proud!

"What do the comrades from the health department think?" Ye Zhijuan asked after the applause stopped.

We can't just let the son-in-law take the lead. Since all the experts present agree with Tang Zhitong's idea, then as a mother-in-law, I have to let the health department express its position first, both for public and private reasons.

"Comrade Tang Zhitong's suggestions are very pertinent. In terms of epidemic prevention, we have been working hard to promote vaccination, which has been very effective. However, other vaccines have difficulties in research and development, production, transportation, and cost. After I go back, I will immediately make a special report to the leadership and find ways to overcome the difficulties and promote this matter as much as possible." The representative of the health department stood up and expressed his position.

He did not think that Tang Zhitong was intentionally making things difficult for the health department. After all, what he said were all true words that benefited the country and the people. But it was also difficult for him. He had no say in the matter. He could only be honest and his tone was very sincere.

Next, other experts expressed their views on today's various opinions, and on the issue of prescription verification, they took the initiative to accept the task based on their own expertise, intending to go back to verify the efficacy of the medicine.

Everyone was so excited about the conversation that they chatted until it was past the time to get off work.

After the meeting, Ye Zhijuan gave a brief summary, saying that it was a successful meeting and so on.

Finally, Ye Zhijuan announced: "Our Women's Federation has prepared a working meal for everyone. Please go to the cafeteria to eat."

Although food supply is becoming tighter nowadays, most meetings outside the home provide meals, so many people like to go to meetings.

A year later, even the higher-level people were the same. People who were usually hard to invite, responded very enthusiastically when they heard that they would be accompanying foreign guests.

If the leader doesn't leave, it will be difficult for everyone else to leave.

Ye Zhijuan and the two-bar four-star candidate were the first to walk out of the conference room, and the other participants filed out one after another. Tang Zhitong was sitting in the corner, so he stood up and walked out after most of the people had left.

When I went out, I found that Ye Zhijuan and the two-bar four-star team had not left, and there was another person next to them.

It gets dark early in winter and there is no light outside, so it is pitch black. The man had his back to the door of the conference room, and Tang Zhitong could only see his back and didn't recognize who he was.

Tang Zhitong was very conscious and had no intention of going forward to disturb them. When he saw Ye Zhijuan looking at him, he nodded, without stopping, and planned to follow the other participants to the cafeteria to eat.

"Xiao Tang, come here." Ye Zhijuan saw Tang Zhitong's intention and called back her son-in-law who had passed by.

Tang Zhitong turned around as he was told and came face to face with this unfamiliar person, a female comrade who looked older than Ye Zhijuan.

Ye Zhijuan wanted to introduce the two people, but was stopped by the female comrade. She smiled and asked Tang Zhitong: "You are Wenwen's lover, right?"

"Hello, leader. I am Tang Zhitong, Wang Jingwen's husband." Tang Zhitong didn't recognize who it was, but saw her waving to Ye Zhijuan. That position must be above Ye Zhijuan. In addition, this point appeared in the Women's Federation, so it is very likely that it was one of the bigwigs of the Women's Federation.

Although the Women's Federation is composed of only female comrades, there are many bigwigs, whether they are honorary directors, directors, or deputy directors, all of them have very long experience. Even some of them whose experience is not so obvious are the wives or ex-wives of this or that person, and Tang Zhitong cannot afford to offend them, so he speaks very respectfully.

"What a young talent! Wenwen has good vision. This is the second time we meet." The big man still smiled amiably.

"Hmm? My memory is not very good..." Tang Zhitong was confused. What class was he in? How could he have the chance to meet the big boss? But since he was told so, he could not question it. He could only say vaguely that he had forgotten.

"Capital Theatre, 'Teahouse.'" Tang Zhitong's reaction made the boss smile even more, and he directly revealed the answer.

"Hello, Director Li!" Tang Zhitong finally remembered who was in front of him. The head of the Women's Federation, Aunt Li in Xiao Wang's mouth! He was immediately very excited. This was a person he had only seen in newspapers, but now she was standing in front of him alive!
Because that day at the Capital Theatre, Tang Zhitong was facing the light, while Director Li had her back to the light, and the two were quite far apart, so her appearance could not be seen clearly.

"Why call me Director? Follow Wenwen and call me Auntie." Director Li was happy, and her smile was relaxed and kind. "Auntie Li!" Tang Zhitong called out very clearly and willingly. This time, she was benefiting from Xiao Wang. I really don't know how many relationships Xiao Wang has hidden from me.

"Hey!" Director Li agreed straightforwardly. He looked at Ye Zhijuan, then at Tang Zhitong, and said kindly, "Your mother told me about your situation. You did a great job."

The meeting had just ended, and it was impossible for Ye Zhijuan to tell Director Li the content of the meeting in such a short time. It could only be something else. Tang Zhitong touched his head and said embarrassedly: "Hehe, they are just some small things. I hope you don't mind that I am not doing my job properly."

"Don't underestimate yourself. Small gadgets can be very useful." Director Li said, and then told Ye Zhijuan, "I've asked the car team to get off work later. After the experts have finished their meal, you can arrange a car to take them home safely."

"Okay, Director Li." Ye Zhijuan agreed.

"Okay, I won't keep you any longer. Let's go to the cafeteria to eat. Xiao Tang, you and Wenwen can come to my place later." Director Li specifically instructed before leaving.

After seeing off Director Li, the two-bar four-star officer did not rush to the cafeteria, but extended a friendly hand to Tang Zhitong: "Xiao Tang, nice to meet you, I'm Luo Qingquan from General Xie."

"Hello, Mr. Luo." Tang Zhitong greeted him with both hands. Mr. Jie's hospital is a very low-key one, and currently it mainly provides medical services to military personnel.

"Am I that old? Call me uncle. Your mother and I are from the same hometown." Luo Qingquan patted Tang Zhitong's hand and said with a smile.

"Well... hello Uncle Luo." Tang Zhitong glanced at Ye Zhijuan, who was smiling slightly, looking happy to see the outcome.

"Okay, okay. Do you know how to smoke?" Luo Qingquan asked as he took out a cigarette.

"Yes, I'll light it for you." Tang Zhitong took the cigarette with both hands, took out a match, struck it, covered it with his hand and lit it for Luo Qingquan first, and then for himself.

Although there were female comrades attending today's meeting, few of the gentlemen cared about them. Whenever they felt like smoking, they would take out a cigarette and light it up, filling the room with smoke.

Tang Zhitong was sitting in the back, where it was inconvenient to smoke, so he had been holding back. This time, he finally got rid of his craving for cigarettes.

"You two can chat first. I'm going to the car team." Ye Zhijuan looked at her watch, said something, and left.

"Xiao Tang, are you really not going to be a doctor? You are not too old, and it is not too late for you to change your career now." Luo Qingquan had previously only thought that Tang Zhitong was insightful and could summarize the Chinese method of first aid for tracheal foreign bodies from the actions that other people had done once. After seeing him today, he had an additional impression of him as "smart and spiritual", and he once again thought of taking him in as his disciple.

"Thank you Uncle Luo for your favor, but I really can't learn it. I can't remember the Chinese medicines, and I can't stand the bleeding scenes of Western medicine." Tang Zhitong shook his head decisively and refused.

"Every doctor has this experience. You get used to it after seeing it so many times." Luo Qingquan still wanted to try again.

"No, no, I know my ability. The most I can do is kill a chicken." Tang Zhitong did not hesitate this time. If it were something else, there would still be room for discussion, but changing careers was absolutely impossible.

Nowadays, there is no saying that "God will strike you down if you persuade people to study medicine". Doctors are in great demand, but if Tang Zhitong changes his career, it means starting all over again. Moreover, being a doctor requires technical skills and requires hard work and study, which is contrary to his life goal of lying down, eating and waiting to die.

"What a pity. Let's go, I'll take you to the cafeteria for dinner." Seeing Tang Zhitong's firm attitude, Luo Qingquan completely gave up the idea.

The food prepared by the Women's Federation canteen for this meeting was quite good, with plenty of steamed buns, a pot of stewed potatoes with meat slices, and a pot of stewed cabbage with tofu.

Noticing that Ye Zhijuan, Luo Qingquan and Tang Zhitong did not come, Miao Xiaoqin asked the kitchen to leave a small portion for each of them.

Tang Zhitong was not picky at all now that he could eat tofu and meat, but he did not eat them all in one swoop. He asked the chef for some pickled vegetables, and ate them with steamed buns and relished them.

The other experts were in a similar mood. If they ate more today, they could save another breakfast tomorrow. They even looked forward to it. It would be better if there were more and more such meetings in the future...

After dinner, Tang Zhitong accompanied Ye Zhijuan to see off the expert and pushed the bicycle to send Ye Zhijuan back.

"Okay, it's getting late, you should go back. It's only a few steps away." Ye Zhijuan urged.

"It's only a few steps away and won't take a few minutes." Tang Zhitong shook his head and looked around, fearing that someone would rush out.

"You kid." Ye Zhijuan shook her head and accepted it with a smile.

There were no people around, and Tang Zhitong said as he walked, "Mom, about the finished medicine, I actually wanted to choose a few valuable exports to earn foreign exchange after it was made."

"I know, I heard it. I will pay attention to it later." Ye Zhijuan responded.

"Well, I'm thinking, you can start with what kind of medicines wealthy families like to buy and keep on hand. It would be best if they can be taken frequently, are effective, and don't cause any harm." Tang Zhitong only knew a general direction and was not sure what kind of finished medicines were already on sale, so he was cautious in his description.

The Zhibao Sanbian Liquor has not been produced yet, but just by hearing the name, you know what it is used for. It is not convenient for Tang Zhitong to mention it to his mother-in-law, so he can only mention it indirectly. After all, "only when you are full and warm can you think of whitebait." The domestic market may not be large, but there are too many people who are well fed and have energy outside.

To put it bluntly, there is a purchasing threshold for the finished medicines selected for export, and at least the economy has to support it.

Although Pien Tze Huang once earned a huge amount of foreign exchange, it is certainly not popular even if it is exported now, because Pien Tze Huang only became famous after the Vietnam War broke out in 61.

It was the first time that Myricken was playing jungle games on Xiaoyue’s territory. He not only suffered gunshot wounds and knife wounds, but also ulcers and insect poisons. The antibiotics they recommended seemed to be not acclimatized to the local environment and their effectiveness was greatly reduced.

By chance, it was discovered that Pian Zai Huang could cure gunshot wounds, knife wounds, ulcers, insect poisons and other diseases, so it was listed as a military supply and large-scale purchases began.

"Okay, I'll ask Xiao Miao to tidy it up later." Ye Zhijuan still nodded.

After sending Ye Zhijuan to the gate, Tang Zhitong watched her go in before turning around and walking home.

Tang Zhitong planned to pay more attention to the issue of finished medicines. If Ye Zhijuan was not looking in the right direction, he would drink tiger penis wine, tiger bone wine, etc. once or twice to persuade Xiao Wang and ask her to tell her mother how useful the wine was.

In the absence of the little blue pill, Tang Zhitong felt that this medicinal wine would be very popular among men.

Then we will put an advertisement in Southeast Asia: If he is good, I will be good too.

That little smell comes up as soon as you scratch it.
