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

Chapter 279 A thorn in the eye
As the village chief, Wang Tielin cares very much about his reputation.

Originally, he didn't think it was a bad thing when Wang Caiyun came back from the south.His daughter has outstanding talents. Even if she is getting married for the second time, he is confident that he can find her a good young man with a bright future in the commune.

By then, Wang Tielin's connections would be able to extend a little further, and he would also be able to help Wang Jianguo and Wang Zhiguo.

It's not a waste of time for their siblings.

Unexpectedly, this girl seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit. She would give birth to that short-lived bastard at any cost, making him unable to hold his head up in the village.

I couldn't walk through the really spacious Yangguan Road, but I had to cross the gloomy single-plank bridge.

However, he couldn't express these thoughts openly in front of the whole village, so he could only glare at her bitterly and leave angrily.

"Caiyun, come here."

Li Yuzhu liked this girl who dared to love and hate from the bottom of her heart. She hadn't seen her for many days, but she missed her. When she saw her working with a big belly, she couldn't help but want to help her.

"Sister-in-law, I'll be right here."

Unexpectedly, Wang Caiyun replied with a smile and stood there without moving, as if he was suddenly separated.If he hadn't seen her biting her red lips and winking at him playfully, even Wang Chengzhou would have thought so.

"This child!"

Li Yuzhu thought that she was embarrassed by being scolded by her own father in front of so many people, so she didn't force it.

Three days later, the sweet potato seedlings were finally cleared.

Everyone gathered around, all excited, waiting for the first forkful of sweet potatoes to come out.

Wang Yutang spat into his hand, held the iron fork in his hand, and stepped on it hard.As he exerted his arms, the soil surged like a wave, bringing out a large bunch of huge sweet potatoes.

"My mother is full of descendants!"

I don't know who shouted a wisecrack, and everyone laughed in unison, their foreheads glowing with excitement.

Freshly peeled sweet potatoes are crispy, with bright red skin. A slight bump will reveal the juicy flesh inside. Take a bite, and milky white juice will ooze out from the stubble, drop by drop, like milk. .

"It's a good harvest! Damn it, it's a good harvest!"

"I'm afraid I'll weigh more than ten pounds after this grunt. He looks really likeable!"

"Stop saying anything and keep going!"

Old people who came from that era would frown when they mentioned sweet potatoes. In order to survive those difficult days, they really hurt their stomachs.

But right now, the majority of rural people have to rely on this thing if they want to survive.

After a summer, everyone has long forgotten its disadvantages. Looking at the freshly unearthed sweet potatoes, it seems like seeing lovers reunited after a long separation.

Just pick it up and chew it.

Sweet potatoes can be eaten raw. If they are of good quality, they taste crisp and sweet, not much different from fruits.

However, in this era of collective mass production, what is freshly dug out of the ground is, after all, public property, and only a few have the nerve to pick up raw sweet potatoes and gnaw them.

But listening to the crackling sound, it was still like a horn urging everyone to work. Even the old girls and young wives who were paralyzed from exhaustion became excited and grabbed the grappling hooks and iron forks without knowing their ability. You have to dig out with your own hands.

For a time, the entire plot was very busy.

However, as the saying goes, extreme joy begets sorrow.

Those older girls and younger wives like to show off, but after all, they haven't done much heavy work. After using the grappling hook and iron fork for a while, several people got into trouble.

It wasn't that they pricked their feet, but that they were not skilled in using farm tools. They always fiddled with the handles and accidentally got the burrs on the wooden handles into their skin.

This thing is not much easier than pricking your own feet.

There is a saying that goes like this: a thorn in the eye is a thorn in the flesh.

They had thin skin and tender flesh, and the wood thorns were embedded under the skin. The pain was so painful that tears fell down immediately. They crossed their legs and screamed for a long time, still feeling a deep discomfort.

Some older men were so angry and funny that they couldn't help but complain:
"Are you going to be fresh next time? You don't even know how many pounds you have. Just pick up the sweet potatoes honestly. You have to show off. Do you know it hurts now?"

"Tell yourselves, are you delaying things? These wooden thorns are pierced into the flesh, but it is difficult to pick them out. It takes a long time to pick up a big needle when you go home. It is a waste of time!"

"It hurts, just let it hurt. What can you do? We can't let you run home while you are working, right? The village cadres are not happy either! Just bear with it!"

Those older girls and younger wives were feeling depressed just now, and they always felt that everything was not going well today. Listening to their chatter again, I felt irritated, and my eyes were red with anger, as if they were eating noodles, and I started sobbing at that time.

Wang Zhiguo had long seen that these gangsters were always targeting his little ladies, so he gloated when he saw them suffering, and immediately mocked:

"Since you're injured, let the hygienist take care of you. Isn't Wang Chengzhou here? Let him pick on you!"

"I just said that I support him, isn't it now time for him to repay you?"

"Hahaha! It's a pity that Wang Chengzhou is a hygienist, not a seamstress. The embroidery needle is not easy to use. I'm afraid I won't be able to pick out the thorns in your hands!"

Indeed, in the eyes of ordinary people, pricking a thorn is not a disease. Even if the medical sage Zhang Zhongjing comes, I am afraid he will have to use a needle to remove it.

Wang Zhiguo's words were obviously an attempt to get rid of Wang Chengzhou, and he also took the opportunity to ridicule a bunch of older girls and younger wives.

"Wang Zhiguo, whose crotch is not clamped and you are exposed? What's the matter with you? Is it just to show you?"

"Wang Zhiguo, no wonder you haven't been liked by girls. Look at your virtuous nature of not being able to see other people's good deeds! Are you happy that we are suffering?" "Wang Zhiguo, if Little Pepper hadn't been here, my aunt would have called you a bastard! So did we. You want to help out and replace the men so that they can have a rest, why is your heart so dark?"

The aunts and grandmothers in Wangjiacun were not easy to deal with, but now they were in so much pain that they felt like a volcano erupting when they heard his strange anger. They dared to say anything.

It was so shrewd that all the gentlemen blushed when they heard it.

However, they never mentioned the word "Wang Xiucai" from beginning to end, because they knew that this guy was full of bad intentions and obviously wanted to embarrass Wang Chengzhou.

A bunch of big girls and young wives felt like Ming Jing, even if they endured the pain, they didn't want to cause him any trouble.However, if there are thorns in the palm of your hand, you will definitely feel uncomfortable doing work.

This incident happened while we were busy, and several village cadres' faces were as dark as the bottom of a pot.

The matter inexplicably involved their sons. Wang Honghe and Li Yuzhu also had ugly expressions on their faces. They held the grappling hook and stared at Wang Zhiguo angrily.

heart said:

They are all born from the same mother, so why are there such big differences in human nature?

Wang Caiyun acts openly and aboveboard, making people wish they could treat her as their own daughter.

But this brother is so good, he is despised by everyone!
When Wang Chengzhou saw those older girls and younger wives pricking their hands, he was still hesitant to come forward to help. Unexpectedly, that boy Wang Zhiguo was so angry that he even pushed him, so he couldn't just sit back and ignore it.

Immediately, he put down the iron fork, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and walked up:
"Is it worth crying over such a trivial matter?"

"Some people are short-sighted and don't know my abilities. Don't you believe me in your heart?"

"Come here, let me see."

The older girls and younger wives were wiping away their tears. When they heard his words, they couldn't help but be stunned.I really don't believe that he can find any way to immediately pick out the thorns and alleviate their pain.After all, they were more or less embarrassed to hand their little hands to him for kneading in front of all the young and old men in the village.

"Why, you really don't trust me?"

Wang Chengzhou raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "If you are not afraid of pain, then just endure it!"

Seeing the stalemate between the two sides, the old and young men all looked over with smiles.

"Wang Xiucai, please treat me."

Finally, perhaps because it was too painful, or perhaps because she was afraid of refuting his face, a little girl from the east end of the village walked up and thought she was smart and said:
"I almost forgot, you know acupuncture!"

"You're so good at acupuncture, what's the point of just picking a prick?"

"Here, I believe you, help me pick it out!"

Wang Chengzhou was stunned. He had never noticed that there was such a smart person in the village before.Immediately, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Who told you that I was going to help you pick a fight?"

"what?"

The little girl squirmed when he held her hand, thinking he was joking.

Wang Chengzhou checked it for her. The girl didn't know if she was too excited when holding the fork. A wooden thorn was inserted diagonally into the flesh. There were red lines on it, and it was obviously very deep.In this case, even if you hold a large needle, it is difficult to pick it out.

Seeing his frown, the little girl became nervous and swallowed secretly.

Wang Chengzhou let her go and lowered his head to look for something on the ground.

I turned over too much just now, and I don’t know where everything went.

Everyone looked at it curiously.

Especially the young girls and young wives who had been pierced could not help but gather around him and crane their necks to take a look.

"Have it!"

Wang Chengzhou was overjoyed and bent down to pick up a living creature, still holding it in his hands.

Grub!

The older girls and younger wives were so frightened that they staggered back quickly. Their faces were filled with anger and fear. They couldn't help but stare at him fiercely and said:

"Wang Xiucai, what are you doing!"

"You are getting worse and worse! You know that we are disgusting, but you still deliberately scare us!"

"Forget it, I won't let you cure it. You are just teasing us!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

Some people really thought that Wang Chengzhou was teasing them.

Wang Chengzhou was speechless for a while, and he just dragged back the little girl who wanted to escape.Then he picked up a sweet potato leaf, wrapped the wriggling grub in it and pinched it.

Snapped!
There was a crisp sound, and all the juice flowed out, and it was white and sticky, like brain juice.

"Wang Xiucai, what are you going to do?!"

When the little girl saw him approaching with that disgusting thing, her face turned pale with fear, and she couldn't help but scream, "Ah!"

However, Wang Chengzhou lifted the disgusting thing high up without any mercy and simply put it on her wound.
