Chapter 854 Barefoot Doctor
Northwest, farm.
Yang Xiaotao didn't know that two people hundreds of miles away were plotting against him, nor did he know that the previously unacceptable seat belts had become something that factories were scrambling to inquire about overnight.
At this time, he was still supervising the planting of corn in the fields.
Originally, according to calculations, the seeds left in the warehouse should be enough to cover the cultivated land of ten farms. However, in actual operation, Yang Xiaotao found that after this planting, there was still a surplus in the warehouse.
Especially the female stock was much larger than planned. Originally, the planned ratio of production was three to one. In order to increase production, Yang Xiaotao directly changed it to four to one.
So much so that technicians were summoned overnight to re-modify the production plan.
This is how the seeds in the warehouse are fully utilized.
However, as there are more seeds and more land, more manpower is needed.
The tractors work non-stop twelve hours a day, and everyone on the farm uses them. Even so, there is still a shortage of manpower, and we can only find people from other places to help.
On the edge of the farm, Yang Xiaotao was walking alone, stopping to observe the situation from time to time.
As for Mazi and Wang Hao beside him, he sent them down to help with the work.
The "apprentices" in the maintenance station were also assigned to various farms by Yang Xiaotao, euphemistically called field study.
Before they left, Yang Xiaotao once told them, 'Be bold in demolition and bold in action. If you can't solve the problem, come back to me. ’
After receiving the care of the ‘master’, several people were immediately excited and rushed everywhere with passion.
In fact, this was also the confidence that Yang Xiaotao gave them. The most fearful thing about repairing cars was that they were too timid to start.
These days, they have already touched the threshold of the structure of tractors around them. What they lack is repair experience.
As long as you dare to learn and do boldly, you can take an important step.
Walking on the dirt, the sun above my head is hot. It is May here, but it is hotter than June in Sijiu City.
However, it is this sufficient sunshine that allows the corn here to grow vigorously and the harvest is guaranteed.
"With such good sunshine, we should grow watermelons."
Thinking of watermelons, Yang Xiaotao looked around, "It seems that the requirements for land and temperature difference of watermelons are a bit high now."
However, Thinking of the two days ago, among the monthly fruits provided by the system in May, twenty kilograms of watermelon were directly given. Yang Xiaotao wanted to try it when he arrived, but time was not enough.
Finally decided to take the watermelon back to my family to try.
Anyway, it is not easy to eat watermelon in this era.
Not only is there less planting, but there are also non-staple food stamps, which not every family can afford, and if a family can only eat one, they are considered a wealthy family.
Ordinary rural areas simply cannot afford it.
“It’s easy to grow watermelons, but it’s not easy to raise seedlings.”
Yang Xiaotao stepped on the ground with his head lowered. Watermelons are very intolerant to alkalinity, and after planting the watermelons, three It cannot be planted again within five years, otherwise the yield will be seriously reduced and the soil will be damaged.
The best crop for rotation is corn.
Yang Xiaotao was thinking in his mind whether he should start planting watermelons here.
For others, the most important breeding work is, but for him, with Xiaowei here, everything is not difficult.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Yang Xiaotao planned to ask Ma Sanxing when he went back to find some watermelon seeds and plant them quickly while the weather was good.
Maybe I can eat it next time I come to command the emasculation.
I had good thoughts and my pace quickened.
"Teacher Yang, Teacher Yang."
Tap tap~~
The sound of horse hooves fell, and the voice followed closely.
"Mazi, what's wrong?"
Yang Xiaotao said calmly. He had encountered a lot of things these days and had become accustomed to not being surprised.
"Teacher Yang, it's not good, someone died."
Yang Xiaotao, who was originally calm, turned pale in an instant, "What, what's going on!"
"Go and have a look! "
Mazi turned the horse's head as he spoke, and Yang Xiaotao jumped up from behind. The horse carried the two of them and galloped away, leaving a trail of smoke and dust.
Five minutes later, the two came to a tent, where seven or eight people gathered.
Yang Xiaotao jumped off the horse, walked through the crowd in twos and twos, and looked at the middle-aged man lying on the ground.
The man is very thin, like most middle-aged men of this era. His arms are dark, his face is sallow, his hair is gray and black, his eyes are closed tightly, and he is unconscious.
There were several people sitting or standing around, looking sad.
“Save people!”
“What are you doing standing still!”
Yang Xiaotao walked over and placed his back on the man's chest. He still had a weak heartbeat and shouted to the people around him.
"Teacher Yang, we have already gone to look for him. He will be here soon."
Ma Sanxing on the side spoke. Yang Xiaotao looked at the man again, "Old Ma, what's going on? How could this happen? Something happened!”
Ma Sanxing stood aside with an equally anxious expression.
"Teacher Yang, this is it."
Then Ma Sanxing told what he knew.
Due to the increase in work, we need some help, so we transferred some people from other farms.
Taking into account the working level of farmers on the farm, Yang Xiaotao reported to his superiors that adults who work every day can each receive two Erhe noodles steamed buns, and children with half the labor force can receive one steamed bun.
A two-liang, sturdy steamed bun.
This kind of reward makes the farmers on the farm very motivated and they work absolutely hard.
Likewise, people who come to help also enjoy this kind of treatment.
Everyone calls the man lying on the ground Zhou Laosan, probably because he is the third eldest child in the family.
But people familiar with it have never seen the boss and the second child.
Zhou Laosan is a resident of a farm ten miles away. He has a wife and three daughters at home. He gave birth to a son a few days ago. His wife is currently confinement at home.
Life on the farm is difficult. There are many people in the family and they eat a lot. After dividing the sweet potatoes on weekdays, he would give them to the children first, and then eat the remaining sweet potatoes with the soil on them.
This time his wife gave birth to a son for him. Zhou Laosan felt grateful in his heart and wanted to earn some food for his wife so that she could be in confinement and feel better.
So after hearing that they were given two taels of steamed buns a day, Zhou Laosan found the factory and finally joined the team.
He knows that he is here because he is taken care of by the organization, so he works very hard when working. When others are resting, he works.
While others were working and eating, he would put away the two steamed buns, drink a lot of water, and continue working in the afternoon.
Two days ago, he returned home with steamed buns. The moment his three sensible daughters saw the steamed buns, they burst into tears. His wife even held her newborn son in her arms and wiped away her tears.
On that day, their family felt like celebrating the New Year.
Ignoring confinement, the wife got up from the kang and cooked a pot of sweet potato soup. The whole family soaked in the soup and ate steamed buns.
From then on, he didn’t eat a bite of the steamed buns given out by the farm. When he was hungry, he drank water. When he was really hungry and couldn’t bear it, he picked two handfuls of leaves and stuffed them into his mouth and ate them with water.
I was working in geography again today, but I fell down and fell unconscious.
Ma Sanxing said seriously, and the people on the farm in front of Zhou Laosan lowered their heads with sadness on their faces.
“The third child is an honest man and knows how to repay kindness. Back then, their six brothers and several other brothers starved to death. He was given a piece of cake by the troops when they passed by, so he persisted until now.”< br>
“He often said that no matter how many people there are in the family, they have to support each other. Only then can we be worthy of the five brothers and sisters who died, so that they can have children."
"Third brother, you idiot, why did you just..."
The man said, and the eyes of the people around him were filled with tears. With tears in his eyes, Yang Xiaotao closed his eyes silently. When he opened them again, two tears had fallen.
"Give way!"
A voice came from outside, and the crowd separated. The first person separated from the crowd to reveal the person behind.
This man was dressed simply, with a thin figure, a gray beard on his long face, and protruding eyes. His eyes were fixed on Zhou Laosan lying on the ground.
"Brother Shan, this is the guy, take a look."
Ma Sanxing looked at the person coming and hurriedly greeted him and asked someone to get out of the way.
On the side, Mazi softly introduced that this man's name was Shan Daren, who used to be a doctor.
But I don’t have a formal medical certificate, so I can’t go to a big hospital, so I work on the farm and go out to see a doctor when necessary.
Yang Xiaotao knew that this person was the doctor in this area.
Of course, there is a more resounding name, ‘barefoot doctor’.
Ordinary people who have a headache or fever at home will go to them first. If the problem cannot be solved, they will go to a big hospital to see a doctor.
It’s not that their medical skills are not as good as those of doctors in the hospital, but if they can’t solve the problem, they need to go to the hospital with the help of instruments.
So compared to people in big hospitals, people here believe in these 'doctors' who are of the same level more.
"Don't worry, let me take a look."
Shan Daren touched his beard, walked forward and touched his chest carefully, and pressed Zhou Laosan's belly with his hand. Zhou Laosan opened his eyelids and looked carefully.
People around me didn’t dare to make a sound, so they all waited.
Yang Xiaotao didn't know what to do, but according to his experience in his previous life, he should hang a hanging bottle at this time.
Anyway, in his impression, if you need an injection when you go to the hospital to see a doctor, do you get two glucose?
He doesn’t have glucose, but he still has sugar.
Yang Xiaotao hesitated to take it out, but seeing the situation, he still wanted to take a look first and listen to what the doctor said.
"Find a bowl, find some salt, and get some warm water."
Shan Daren pressed Zhou Laosan's belly for a while, and then said to the people on the side.
After hearing this, Ma Sanxing immediately asked someone to look for him.
Yang Xiaotao was still wondering when someone was already running over carrying bowls and salt shakers.
Shan Daren took the black sea bowl, then pinched it in the salt shaker with his hand, put a small pinch of salt in the bowl, spread it evenly with his fingers, and finally pinched another pinch until it reached the bottom of the bowl. After being covered with a layer of snow-white, people poured water.
After a while, the black sea bowl was filled with water.
"Pick him up and open his mouth."
Several people came forward to help. Yang Xiaotao thought about it, but Ma Sanxing pulled him aside.
In Ma Sanxing's psychology, it is unlucky to meet such a person.
Those people on the farm are fine. Yang Xiaotao is an outsider, so it’s better not to move.
Yang Xiaotao didn't think so much. He watched Zhou Laosan being helped up, dragging his arms on the ground, and one person lifted his head up.
"Open your mouth."
After hearing this, Mazi pinched his lower jaw and pulled it down.
Shan Daren brought the water in the bowl to his mouth and slowly poured it into his mouth.
At first, the salt water flowed very slowly, but Shan Daren's hand was very steady, and a little bit of salt water was poured into Zhou Laosan's stomach.
I know that the salt water is halfway down, but not a bit flows out, all of it goes in.
Yang Xiaotao has keenly noticed that Zhou Laosan is conscious and is swallowing slowly.
This action also made Shan Daren breathe a sigh of relief, and he shook the hand holding the bowl and sprinkled a little water.
But it’s no longer elegant.
As he drank the whole bowl of salt water, Zhou Laosan, who was half lying down, suddenly regained consciousness and slowly opened his eyes. He just wanted to say something, but couldn't.
Shan Daren patted Zhou Laosan's back again, then pressed down on the back of his spine, and then asked Zhou Laosan to lie down.
"Okay, let him eat some millet porridge and rest for the afternoon. When it gets dark, his body will be better."
Shan Daren stood up and said, and everyone around him looked at him with admiration.
Yang Xiaotao even clapped his hands, admiring him even more.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it. No medicine or other equipment was used. Just one pair of eyes, one pair of hands, and a bowl of salt water saved a life.
Miracle salt water, the magical barefoot doctor.
