Traditional Chinese Medicine: Back to the years when educated youths went to the countryside

Chapter 193

People's hearts are exchanged for people's hearts, and four taels are exchanged for half a catty.

This is what Li Yuzhu often talks about.It means that when you treat others with kindness, you can often get greater kindness from the other person.

It is the simplest value of most country people.

I just didn't expect that that small act of kindness would lead so many people to brave the scorching heat and take the initiative to find homes to help them build houses.

The shock it brought was simply more intense than if Li Yuzhu chanted it in his ear a hundred times.

"Wang Health Nurse, what are you doing standing still? Everyone is here, let's get started!"

"Da Mao, you few who are skilled in craftsmanship will lay down the wires and lay the foundation; others who cannot be teachers will come and carry bricks and mud. There are dozens of us, and we can easily build four large houses in three or two days. house."

"That's right! Aren't you worried when Healthy Wang and his family live in such a shack in the middle of summer? If it rains heavily, you will get strep throat. All the health workers in the team have fallen ill. What if we get sick? , but who can I look for?"

"So, please be more flexible with me!"

Without any urging from outsiders, everyone began to divide the work themselves. The sound of tiles was heard at the site of the thatched house.

Not to mention Wang Honghe and Li Yuzhu were at a loss, even the men who helped in the village managed to get up and rush to the construction site. Looking at the heated scene, they scratched their heads, thinking that they had gone to the wrong place...

When they found out that these people were from Shuixi Village and Yanggao Village, and they all came spontaneously to help Wang Chengzhou's family build a house, everyone blinked and thought they were asleep.

Is this world so beautiful?
Although it is said that everyone is part of the Wang family's production brigade, it is just a talk. When did we run into the communist society?

Under the scorching sun, take the initiative to help people build houses?
Seeing the doubts on everyone's faces, Wang Wuhe held the masonry knife and explained excitedly.

After all, he had witnessed the scene just now, and it was simply exciting.Until now, he was still immersed in the simple affection of his fellow villagers.

The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring of water, what is said in the storytelling is true!

Unexpectedly, we ordinary people also have the charm of heroes in books.

Upon hearing this, the men in the village immediately lost their composure. They wiped their sweat and rushed forward with a masonry knife without saying a word, as if they were afraid that if they delayed for another second, they would be looked down upon.

Everyone in other villages knew how to repay Wang Chengzhou's kindness and came to help him early in the morning. However, a man from his own village was afraid of the heat and sun, so he delayed coming here until now. It was really embarrassing.

So, he started working quickly to make up for the guilt in his heart.

However, the gang of boys in Shuixi Village and Yanggao Village did not know their complicated thoughts. They thought that they saw that they were outsiders and they were people invited by the master's family. They wanted to compete and give themselves a blow, so they followed Crazy. He worked hard like he was crazy.

You know, the people of the two villages were not very close to each other in the first place, but they came together because of Wang Chengzhou's face. Seeing each other like this, they suddenly started to compete again, and they both wanted to compare each other to show that they were stronger than others.

So, after a while, the sound of tile knives on the entire construction site was like the sound of banging clappers.The boy who was responsible for mixing mud and moving bricks was jogging all the way, which was more energetic than being whipped with a whip.

The whole family looked at each other, wondering what was going on.

Inexplicably, I felt the smell of gunpowder in the air, and I didn't dare to ask, let alone say anything.

Originally, the endurance of the three male educated youths, Zhao Yu, Xu Wannian, and Diao Qingsong, was not very good. Slowly, they could barely hold on.But being affected by the strange atmosphere, I couldn't help but become nervous. After a while, I was so tired that I was out of breath and could hardly straighten my waist.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he looked at Wang Chengzhou aggrievedly, always feeling that someone was specifically targeting them.

Seeing Wang Aiduo trembling, he couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing such a cute little girl giggling, the atmosphere on the field relaxed.Everyone looked at each other and saw that each other was covered in sweat, as if they were bastards who just got out of the water, and they couldn't help but grin.

All the grudges seemed to disappear in an instant.

Wang Honghe and Li Yuzhu looked pleased.

To be honest, these young people from other villages didn't know each other, and they suddenly rushed to their home to help build a house, which made them both feel a little nervous.

In addition, several villages were already unhappy, and they were afraid of conflicts.

Unexpectedly, everyone was tense for a while, but finally couldn't restrain the nature of young people, and started talking and laughing.

Relieved, Li Yuzhu quickly washed her hands and cooked.If nothing else, at least steam the buns first.

Wang Honghe glanced at the sky, put down his shovel, and prepared to buy vegetables.

The weather was too hot, so the meat had to be bought on the same day as it was eaten. It was a twenty-mile trip to the commune, and I had to be back before dinner.

There were so many people here today, it’s not enough to buy less.

Wang Honghe simply pulled the cart out, put on the belt and prepared to leave.

When Wang Chengzhou saw it, he quickly walked up and whispered:

"Dad, let me go."

"Anyway, I've been to the commune many times, so my legs and feet can be faster."

"Just stay at home and help my mother cook."

Wang Honghe was a little worried and refused:
"San'er, I'll go."

"These young people are here to help because of you. You have to stay with them at home. Your mother and I can't talk, so we won't neglect them when the time comes."

"Besides, how many times have you been to the commune? I've been walking for half my life, and I can run faster than you with my eyes closed! Just stay at home. I'll be back before dark without missing a meal."

The father and son were discussing when the young man from Shuixi Village with a stubble and a Chinese-character face just asked with a half-smile, "Health nurse Wang, why are you going to the commune now that the sun is about to set?"

Wang Honghe grinned, but it was hard to explain.

Wang Chengzhou thought it was nothing, and said sincerely:
"Go to the commune to buy groceries."

"Today, you guys came to my house to help me because you think highly of me, Wang Chengzhou, and give me face. We can't be ignorant."

"Young and old men have worked hard all afternoon. It is our family's wish to treat you to something delicious in the evening. No one of us is allowed to cheat."

When everyone heard this, they all laughed and looked very strange.

Seeing that Wang Chengzhou was confused, he thought he had said the wrong thing?

"Wang Health Nurse, despite your excellent medical skills and kindheartedness, you are still a young man after all, and you still can't outwit us old fritters!"

"Hahaha, Da, listen to us. On a hot day, you don't have to go to the commune and suffer the consequences. In the evening, don't we all just want to have dinner together and have fun? We have already prepared it!"

"Wang Health Nurse, don't believe it. If you don't believe it, just open the pile of sacks and see what's inside! Da, let me tell you, if you just buy the vegetables tonight, we won't be able to finish them all. It’s a waste, there’s no need!”

Wang Chengzhou's face straightened, he ran over and opened a sack, and then his expression became astonished.He opened the other one hurriedly, his mouth hanging open.

After opening three pockets in a row, he fell silent, his eyes flashed with tears, and a hot warmth surged in his heart. He wanted to speak, but found that his voice was hoarse.Seeing his expression, the family was full of surprise. They didn't know what weird things were in the sack, and they almost scared him to tears.

"How's it going, Health Nurse Wang? I took four raw eggs and two burritos. My mother handed them to me when I was leaving. She said she would help at your house, but I can't eat them shamelessly. Things. Your family lives in an adobe house and can't even afford bricks. When you are short of money, you are not willing to ask us poor people for even five cents for the registration fee. You are a good person, I will keep it in my heart! "

"Hahaha, Health Nurse Wang, I don't have chickens at home, so I can't bring eggs. However, my father asked me to bring three eggplants, a handful of green peppers, and three steamed buns. I'll ask my aunt to steam them in a pot later and pound them. It’s just eggplant puree, that’s a good dish!”

"That's right! Health nurse Wang, why do you want to buy vegetables? I also brought food, not much, just three kilograms of dried vermicelli made from sweet potato gravy last year. I'll soak it in boiling water later, I'm afraid it will be full. A big basin, sprinkle some chopped green onions, mix with oil and salt, isn't it enough for a few people?"

Everyone was showing off, and the whole family burst into tears.

Zhao Yu, Diao Qingsong, and Xu Wannian were all drooling...

The men in the village even opened their mouths, not knowing what to say.

For a moment, I thought, why is it so hot today?Together, when they look at each other, they feel much more pleasing to the eye.

These guys are really on target!
Li Yuzhu wiped her tears and didn't know how to thank her.

At this moment, Xu Xiaozhi and Yu Hua came back from outside. They were surprised to see how busy the house was and did not dare to come in for a while.

However, the two of them were here to help. After understanding the whole story, they immediately started rolling up their arms and sleeves to help Li Yuzhu.

There was a cool breeze in the evening above the willow branches above the moon.

Everyone cleared an open space, gathered together in twos and threes, moved a few bricks to put under their buttocks, and had dinner.

Not to mention, there were only 30 people, everyone brought something, and when they came together, the richness of the dishes was simply beyond imagination.

In addition to vegetables, vermicelli, and eggs, someone even brought a bag of forks and specifically asked Li Yuzhu to fry them. When they were brought out, the smell of burnt aroma in the air made the whole scene a sensation.

In order to show closeness to a few knowledgeable comrades from the city, everyone endured their greed and specially let them taste it first.

Zhao Yu and Diao Qingsong were flattered. Their faces covered with black mud couldn't hide their happiness. They quickly pinched a few and stuffed them into their mouths. They laughed stupidly along with the others.

But when it was Xu Wannian's turn, the boy swallowed greedily, but his face turned pale with fright. He stared straight at him, wanting to eat but not daring to eat. He looked very painful.

Seeing this, everyone looked puzzled.

After learning the cause and effect, everyone couldn't help laughing and began to make fun of the poor guy one by one.

However, I had a new understanding of Wang Chengzhou's medical skills, and a few guys even found him secretly and wrote down the strange prescription.

After all, there is no shortage of Xanthium angustifolia, Tribulus terrestris, and Night-flowering vine. If you encounter the same disease in the future, it may be able to help relieve the pain.

This kind of earth recipe that is not complicated and can be made from local materials is very popular in the countryside.

During those difficult years, it was this unappreciated folk remedy that, through the hands of thousands of barefoot doctors, helped an emerging country raise the level of national medical security to unprecedented heights.

However, with the development of the times, this cheap and practical medical method is increasingly abandoned, and gradually it seems to disappear.

For the sake of so-called revenue, some hospitals will even force orthopedic doctors of traditional Chinese medicine to increase the proportion of amputation surgeries.And those poor people could have been completely cured by the so-called ignorant medical skills passed down from their ancestors.

All it takes is a few herbs and an understanding of traditional medicine.

Fortunately, in this era, most people are still simple and upright.

Wang Chengzhou shook his head to get rid of those unhappy thoughts, raised his wine glass with his tongue wide open, and opened his mouth. He originally wanted to say a few elegant toasts, but when the words came to his mouth, he felt so awkward.

Finally, he simply followed Wang Honghe’s example and said honestly: “You’re welcome, eat well, drink well, drink well and eat well!”

It made everyone laugh.

The atmosphere suddenly became lively.

After having had enough wine and food, everyone took their empty sacks and masonry knives and said goodbye together.

"Wang Chengzhou, get up early tomorrow. If you get up late, be careful if people lift your blanket!"

"Wang Health Nurse, we will come over early tomorrow morning. While it is cool, let's quickly put the house up, finish the beams, and fasten the tiles. You and your family will feel confident that you will no longer be afraid of wind and rain! "

"Old Wang, tell Auntie Yamato not to buy groceries tomorrow, don't waste that money. Let's bring a little each, it's not worth much, but if your family buys it all, it's not a small expense. We are all our own, There’s no need to go outside, just save what you can!”

"Eh!"

Wang Chengzhou responded.

The whole family sent it out together.

These few words really spoke to their hearts.Especially Wang Aiduo, when he heard that he no longer had to worry about wind or rain, his big eyes sparkled and he was indescribably radiant.

It made Wang Chengzhou wonder if this girl had been drinking secretly.

"I didn't drink!"

Siya noticed his scrutinizing gaze and stared at her jewel-like eyes, "I don't drink, Hier!"

The girl burped as soon as she finished speaking. The smell of wine hit her nostrils, and she immediately became confused.

Li Yuzhu's eyes widened, and he hit her with a slap in the face, "You damn girl, you really drink everything!"

"How old are you, that you dare to taste what this old man drinks?"

"Today, I must beat you to death!"

Si Ya ran away, crying:
"Mom, you can't be beaten to death!"

"Kill me and there will be no one to help you tomorrow!"

"Brother, help me quickly, mother is really angry!"

Wang Chengzhou rolled his eyes, feeling that she really needed education, but he was afraid of the dark and the ground was full of debris, so he would accidentally knock it on again.

Just as he was about to persuade the angry old woman, a gong sound suddenly sounded in the distance.

"Bang!"

The vibrato disappeared, and someone shouted at the intersection: "Diao Qingsong, Zhao Yu, and Xu Wannian are out on patrol. It's your three's turn tonight."

The family stopped immediately and couldn't help but look at Wang Chengzhou.

He looked a little worried.

——Thank you brother 20230726152045631 for the reward!
