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

Chapter 66 A Different Road
These lesbians really followed Confucius’ old saying:

If you are close, you will not be inferior, if you are far, you will complain.

Wang Chengzhou muttered, suppressed his smile, and said seriously:

"Although everyone is fine for the time being, and even if it happens again, I can treat everyone."

"However, pinkeye bacteria widely exist in our living environment. If you don't pay attention to personal hygiene, you may be infected again. Repeated infections will always affect your body and delay your work."

"So, we still need to give priority to prevention and supplementary treatment. In daily life, we must do a good job of protection."

Everyone listened quietly and deeply believed it.

Pink eye does break out every spring, and many people in the village get sick and sick every year.

In some cases, you can even get it several times a season.

The illness is not serious, but it is very torturous.

Comrade Lao Zhou saw him speaking to the crowd, listening with a hoe on his shoulder, and quietly stood in the team.

With a smile on his face.

Wang Chengzhou slowed down for a moment, coughed slightly, and continued:
"As for prevention and control methods, in fact, the main thing is to improve personal hygiene, wash hands frequently, ventilate more and gather less."

"It's okay, don't always touch your big face and rub your little eyes to make you look neat or something?"

"Yes, I'm talking about you guys."

The crowd burst into laughter.

They all turned their heads and looked.

Sure enough, a few guys kept scratching at their faces, not knowing if their eyes were itchy.

After noticing everyone's gazes, he realized that Wang Chengzhou was making fun of him, and couldn't help but laugh and curse.

Most of them are elders in the village, so naturally they won't argue with him.

Wang Chengzhou grinned, with a smile on his face, "Actually, Wang Jianguo's method is more thorough."

"If everyone has his own washbasin, uses his own towel, and washes his hands with soap, the effect will be better. This is also the ongoing prevention and control measure in Yanggao Village."

"How about we copy it directly?"

After hearing this, Lao Zhou looked at the young village health worker in front of him and couldn't help but nodded.

Secret way:

This little comrade is still okay.

I thought he was a small-minded person who was jealous of others, so he spoke slanderously.

Now that I look at it, it is quite courageous to praise oneself in front of all the members.

Unexpectedly, after listening to Wang Chengzhou's suggestion, everyone fell silent.

Yang Xiushuan raised his little face, took a step forward, and asked softly: "Uncle, how much does a set of towels, washbasin, and soap cost?"

Seeing her serious face, Wang Chengzhou silently calculated:

"A bar of soap costs about 4 cents, a towel may cost 5 cents, and a washbasin costs about 1 yuan."

"After all, it costs about two yuan in total. It's not much, it's just four days' worth of work for a strong laborer."

"However, it may be more expensive with tickets."

hiss!
Everyone gasped.

Many people stared and said:

"Four days of work is not enough? Grandma, an egg only costs 6 cents. My third daughter-in-law is not willing to eat it during confinement. Is there something wrong with asking me to spend 2 yuan to buy these?"

"The key is that one person has to live alone. Isn't it too extravagant? No one in the city dares to live like this!"

"Wang Xiucai, I don't want to buy it! I still want to keep my work points in exchange for two more kilograms of white flour. Why do you do these stupid things!"

Lao Zhou was stunned for a moment.

I didn't expect the crowd's reaction to be so violent.

On the way here, he always felt that Wang Jianguo's epidemic prevention measures were very constructive and he was very courageous.

This kind of spirit is rare nowadays.However, he has never calculated the details.

Listening to the angry discussions of the people, cold sweat broke out on the forehead.

He thought he was close to the masses and understood the sufferings of the people, but he made a mistake on this issue.

It is simply out of touch with reality and has become false and empty!

If the young comrade in front of me hadn't reminded him, and he had actually responded to the leader's words, the crowd would have made a joke that broke their legs.

Lao Zhou no longer dared to despise the little hygienist in front of him. He put down his hoe and leaned his head to listen.

"Stop scolding, stop scolding."

Wang Chengzhou gritted his teeth and smiled, finally picking up the bag and saying, "Actually, that was just a suggestion."

"Our family is so poor that we still live in a thatched hut. We can't even raise a chicken, let alone eggs. Don't you know everyone's difficulties?"

"So, I asked Comrade Luan Hongying, the ranger at the back mountain, to help and prepare another way for everyone."

As he spoke, he opened the cloth bag.

A medicinal fragrance wafted out.

Everyone twitched their noses and looked curious.

Lao Zhou was even more uneasy. Just now he wanted to know what was inside, but Comrade Xiao Wang was so secretive and not honest at all that he didn't tell him at all.

Now, when I heard him say that it was related to the prevention and treatment of pinkeye, how could I not be interested?

Wang Chengzhou first took out a package of beautiful dried flower buds and introduced:
"This is a herb collected from our back mountain. It's called honeysuckle, also called double flower or silver flower. I believe everyone has seen it."

"This medicine clears away heat and detoxifies, dissipates wind-heat, and returns to the stomach, lungs, and heart meridians. It is suitable for external pathogenic qi, accumulated heat in the lungs and stomach, and combines with pink eye disease caused by evil attacks."

"Wait a minute, I will hand it over to the brigade courtyard and ask Master Gao Dahai to help boil it into tea and send it over for everyone to drink every day."

Everyone whispered for a while.

We are all natives of Pushan Village and often go to the mountains to cut trees. How could we not have seen honeysuckle?

However, I didn’t expect that this thing could also cure pinkeye.

The back mountain is like your own backyard. If it is really effective, who can't pick some after work?
Wouldn't it be better to not spend a penny than to buy those ridiculously expensive products?

Lao Zhou stood in the crowd, staring, never expecting that there was such a good thing in the mountains.

Seeing everyone's enthusiastic response, Wang Chengzhou quickly took out the prepared Cangzhu and said loudly:

"Actually, washing hands with soap is to kill germs."

"It's just that we ordinary people can't afford such high-end things. Uncle, I have thought about it a long time ago."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Xiushuan suddenly flashed his big eyes and laughed.

Everyone laughed when they heard what he said was funny.

Even a few educated youths were very surprised.

Especially Xu Xiaozhi, her eyes were sparkling, and she didn't know what she was thinking about.

"After a while, each of us will take a few slices, light them with firewood when we go home, blow out the flames, put them in a safe place to retting, and use smoke to sterilize and kill viruses."

"Wang Xiucai, what is this herb called? Is it also obtained from the back mountain?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Xiaozhi stood on tiptoes, stuck her head out from the crowd, and asked.

The sound is light and crisp.

"It's called Atractylodes, and it returns to the spleen, stomach, and liver meridians. It can strengthen the spleen and remove dampness, dispel wind and cold, and improve eyesight." Wang Chengzhou glanced at her and said with a smile, "Don't eat this stuff randomly. There is internal heat due to yin deficiency. People with qi deficiency and excessive sweating should not take it."

There seems to be nothing wrong with the latter sentence.

However, Xu Xiaozhi understood what he meant.

As a result, her eyebrows were curved and her smile became sweeter.
