Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

Chapter 238: Auntie Returns to Her Old Job

Since late November, the snow has been falling heavier and the snow has not melted. The villagers are reluctant to go out unless it is necessary.

At this time, patients started to come to my aunt's house.

Under the arrangement of the team leader, some villagers with chronic illnesses avoided people and came to the cowshed to see her for treatment.

My great aunt is an old doctor and is proficient in both Chinese and Western medicine.

But now I am in a cowshed and without the tools and instruments of Western medicine, I can only use traditional Chinese medicine to treat the villagers.

After the diagnosis by the great aunt, the villagers would come to Liu Jingxue to get the medicine with the prescription written by the great aunt.

But after a few days, Liu Jingxue felt it was too much trouble. After all, she needed to practice and couldn't be disturbed all the time.

If she was at an important juncture in her cultivation and was disturbed, causing some bad consequences, she would regret it to death.

Moreover, she lived too close to the cowshed. One was seeing a doctor and the other was getting medicine. If many people knew about it, it would be easy for people to think that there was something unusual between them, which would make it difficult for them to hide their relationship.

But it was not appropriate to give the medicines she made to her aunt and have her diagnose and then directly prescribe them to the villagers.

Although she knew that her aunt had no bad intentions and most villagers had no ill will towards those who had been sent down from the village, human hearts were unpredictable.

What if someone deliberately does bad things and insists that the medicine has made people bad, or that they deliberately eat something bad and insists that my aunt tampered with the medicine and wanted to harm people?

You must not have the intention to harm others, but you must have the intention to guard against others.

Therefore, after discussing with the team leader, Liu Jingxue handed over the medicines she had made, writing down in detail the names, effects, uses, and dosages, to the team leader.

He arranged for the village barefoot doctor to dispense medicine according to the prescription written by his aunt.

Although the barefoot doctor was not very skilled in medicine, he could read and had no problem prescribing medicine.

Moreover, he does not have to go to the fields except during the autumn harvest, and he also receives work point subsidies, so isn't it his job to do these things?

Liu Jingxue also gave her aunt a list, listing the names, effects, uses and dosages of all the medicines she provided to the village.

Otherwise she wouldn't know what medicines were available.

Liu Jingxue's medicine is not provided for free, and payment is required.

Knowing that it was not easy for the villagers to make money, she did not ask for money, but instead used work points to offset the loss.

Every time the villagers got medicine, they had to keep a record and write down how many work points they had taken.

When the grain is distributed at the end of the year, the total will be counted and Liu Jingxue will be given money and grain at that time.

Wu Yunshang has been thinking about that matter ever since she received the letter.

Although I promised Mr. Zhou to wait for a few days, I will make plans after he has someone verify the situation.

But she really couldn't let it go.

Of course, in order to avoid making the old man feel that she was urging him, she behaved as calmly in front of Mr. Zhou as she did before receiving the letter.

He didn't reveal a single word in front of his youngest son Zhou Mingxuan.

But when she was alone or with Zhou Yunting, she would still mention her father and the letter from time to time.

She was looking forward to what she would say to her father and what she would prepare to send to him if it was really the news that her father had sent.

Zhou Yunting deeply felt Wu Yunshang's nervous anticipation and impatience.

He knew that his wife was not in a position to ask the old man, so he decided to ask himself.

After all, they are father and son, so there is nothing wrong with talking to each other.

When he asked the first time, only three days had passed since the old man agreed to send someone to investigate.

Mr. Zhou looked at him unhappily, "How can it be that fast? It's snowing in the Northeast now. You can't ask people to go out in the snow to help you investigate.

You didn't spend any money to hire them, you are just wasting their favor, how can you have the nerve to urge them?

Wait two more days."

"Did your wife ask you to ask?"

Zhou Yunting quickly shook his head, "No, Yunshang didn't let me ask you.

I saw her fidgeting and couldn't bear it, so I wanted to get the news as soon as possible."

“You keep her busy, and when she’s busy she won’t have time to think.

Let her knit sweaters and cotton-padded clothes for Old Wu.", Mr. Zhou suggested.

Mr. Zhou gave some advice, "Go find something for your father-in-law, don't let Yunchang think that you don't care about Old Wu."

"I see."

When Zhou Yunting couldn't help but want to ask for the second time, Mr. Zhou finally got the news.

After contacting Mr. Zhang and getting a clear answer, he felt relieved.

Finally, I don’t have to look at my son’s hesitant eyes, nor do I have to look at my daughter-in-law pretending nothing happened.

After dinner that day, Mr. Zhou said to Zhou Mingxuan, "Mingxuan, I heard that your good friend Zhao Junhao is going to work according to his family's arrangement. Is it true?"

Zhou Mingxuan asked in confusion, "Is that true? I didn't hear him say that."

“That’s what his grandfather told me, and he also asked me what plans I had for you.

Since your good friend is planning to go to work, why don’t you learn from him and go to work?

If you don't want to go to work, you can join the army.

Anyway, with our family's connections, you can join the army anytime you want."

Zhou Mingxuan shook his head desperately, "No, I don't want to join the army.

We already have enough soldiers in our family.

My father and his three brothers are all in the army. In our generation, my two older brothers and two cousins ​​are all in the army.

Even my cousin joined the army.

Now my cousin and I are the only ones who haven’t joined the army.”

"You don't want to join the army, and you don't want to go to work. What exactly do you want to do?" Wu Yunshang asked unhappily.

Zhou Yunshang wanted to say, you all know what I want to do, but thinking about the current situation, he held back.

"We know what you're thinking, but the current situation does not allow it.

Why don’t you find a class first, and when the situation allows, we won’t stop you from doing anything.” Zhou Yunting said to his youngest son.

Wu Yunshang also encouraged him, "Mingxuan, your father is right, we have never stopped you from doing anything you wanted to do since you were a child.

The situation really doesn't allow it now.

You should spend this period of time according to your family's arrangements.

When it is allowed in the future, we will definitely support you and will never hold you back."

"But work is too boring, and I don't know what I am suitable for." Seeing his parents say this, Zhou Mingxuan finally gave in.

He also knew that his family was under a lot of pressure because he didn't go to work and didn't go to the countryside.

Fortunately, there were a few other people hanging around in the compound like him.

If Zhao Junyi went to work, and the others also made arrangements, leaving him alone, he would have to make a decision then.

Mr. Zhou suggested, “Why don’t you go ask Zhao Junhao what kind of job his family has arranged for him.

If possible, we'll put you together with him.

This way, you two won't be so bored as companions."

"Okay then, I'll go ask tomorrow," Zhou Mingxuan said.

Mr. Zhou said, "Don't wait until tomorrow, go ask now.

What if there is a limit on the number of people in the job, and we act too late and someone else gets there first? "

"Okay, I'll go now." After Zhou Mingxuan said that, he got up and walked out of the house to find Zhao Junhao.

Mr. Zhou said to his son and daughter-in-law, "You two follow me to the study."

After the three of them entered the study, Zhou Yunting quickly spoke, "Dad, is there any result on that matter?"

Mr. Zhou did not keep anyone in suspense, "We have already found out that Old Wu is indeed there, and the person who wrote the letter is also reliable.

You guys prepare the things and write the letter these days, and I will arrange for someone to send it over when the time comes.

We will not contact them directly from now on, but through other people."

Wu Yunshang was very excited at this time, "Dad, I will prepare everything and give it to you tomorrow."

Everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared in the past few days, and the letter has been written. I will just have to wait for the results of the investigation to come out before sending it out.

But Mr. Zhou shook his head and said, "What you prepared is not enough.

You probably just prepared your father's things.

As far as I know, there were three other people with your father, two men and one woman.

Your father has received a lot of favors from them these days.

If the things you prepare can only be used by him, then we are being immature.

Not to mention them, but you must not ignore the man who risked delivering the message to you from your father.

As for how to express it specifically, we will make plans after we contact your father and he tells us the specific situation over there.

But that doesn't stop you from sending them something they can use now."

Wu Yunshang suddenly realized, "Dad, I understand.

I’ll prepare some other things.”
