The old Chinese doctor in the courtyard

Chapter 203

Yang Wenshan of Shanshan Village has a lack of courage as his biggest shortcoming. If he had some courage, Shanshan Village would not be so poor.

Although the poverty of mountainous villages is due to public food supply, it is also the experience of the elders to live on the mountain.

In the early days, most of the mountains and forests were owned by landlords and wealthy households. Ordinary people had to pay their share of the money to harvest the mountains. Now, members of the mountain villages can use them as they please, and everyone in Wali knows to go to the mountains to collect herbs.

Yang Wenshan led the commune members to keep an eye on the potatoes, sweet potatoes, and pumpkins in the mountain fields, guarding the treasure mountain and suffering from poverty. The lack of courage and ability of the branch secretary was the fundamental reason for the poverty of the mountain villages.

In Two Donkey Village, the eyes of the commune are sharp. If there are more donkeys in the mountain villages, they will not be so poor.

When he was over 40, he came out to cry about poverty. Although Li Shengli sympathized with him, he should look down on him, but he still looked down on him.

Before talking about consciousness and style, you must at least let the members under you eat.

Yang Wenshan is far behind Zhao Mankui and Wang Shengting, and there are also many village party secretaries like Zhao Mankui and Wang Shengting. There are honest people and arrogant people at both ends, and those in the middle are the serious village party secretaries.

After a meal, Yang Wenshan, who was a little drunk, staggered to the wing to sleep.

Li Shengli and the three generations of the Zhao family drank warm Yuzhu water to relieve their hangover.

"Brother, this Yang Wenshan has a bad temper. Although he is a real person and has a good heart, with him taking care of him, the mountain village will not be able to get better.

What the mountain village wants now is not money, but a solid stick, the kind of hard stuff that will break a hole in the ground even if it falls.

Brother, do you have any candidates? I think Yang Wenshan will be the one. "

After saying this, only Zhao Youfang, the child at the table, showed a surprised expression among the four people. Haiye and Zhao Mankui had similar expressions, looking as if they were taking it for granted.

Although Li Shengli shouldn't have said this, both of them knew that Li Shengli was capable and bold.

He just doesn't have the power, but he has the power. Maybe the township mayor and district mayor would dare to change them for you.

"Being a party secretary on the mountain is not a job that a man should do, and Yang Wenshan is the most honest.

You don’t know that a few years ago, it was a joke that their village had seven branch secretaries a year.

When the commune went to ask for public rations, the angry people were all stiff and ignored. They couldn't replace this one with that one. In the end, Yang Wenshan, a good old man, was replaced.

But it’s useless. The villages in the mountains can’t afford to pay for public food.

There is a candidate for the party secretary on the mountain, and it is the little widow, the women's director of their village.

But this little widow was a person registered in the commune. She was handsome but had a bad temper and a fierce temper.

She was one of the seven village party secretaries back then. The commune asked her to urge food, and this little girl took off her clothes directly, scaring a group of cadres in the commune, and all their shoes ran away.

She was also a poor person. Her man was a good man back then. Unfortunately, it rained heavily that year when the public rations were delivered. In order to protect the food in the village, this stupid thing let the water wash away and fell to her death in the ravine.

There is no one in the little widow’s natal family, nor in her husband’s family. The man did not have any children when he died. This year should be 25.

A good-looking person should walk, but this little widow is so special that she clings to the mountain village and refuses to remarry. I don’t know why. "

While drinking the Yuzhu water from the bowl, Zhao Mankui also told Li Shengli about the mountain village.

When Li Shengli heard that he was looking for a handsome young widow to head his family, Li Shengli felt a little dizzy and started to hesitate while holding the small bowl in his hand.

"Sheng Li, this little widow doesn't believe in fate!
If you want to make a different noise in Shanshang Village, isn't that what you said, you have to smash a door stick out of a hole even if you fall on the ground?
It's a pity that she took off her clothes two years ago, which frightened the cadres of the commune. Otherwise, the branch secretary of Shanshang Village, this little girl is still qualified to sit.

She is from the village on the mountain. Her family and husband's family have disappeared in those few years. Her husband wants the village on the mountain to live a good life, but it is a pity that good people do not live long.

Go take a look first, and if you can, do it. If you do this, people will starve to death over there. "

After finishing smoking a bag of dry cigarettes, Hai Ye opened his mouth while smoking the pot.

They are all digging in the soil, and their colleagues know best what hardships and fatigues they have. According to this behavior, there will be another disaster in the mountains next autumn.

"Master Hai, even if it is an old widow, I dare to go and have a look, but a young widow with no bachelors really dares to go.

Yang Wenshan really can't do it. This good old man can't help but let him go to Madianji to be the branch secretary. In a mountain village, it would be a harm to people.

I originally wanted to see a house in a mountain village, but it was a pity that this person didn't offer it.

Brother, when the child in their village gets well tomorrow, you can get him a bag of white flour, and let’s put this aside for now..."

Putting down the small bowl in his hand, Li Shengli also made a decision. Women these days will stick to them without being provoked.

Like Du Jiaoyang, even if he wanted to die and didn't recognize him, Li Shengli could easily win him if he came into contact with him for ten or eight days.

Zhao Caixia and Xiao Feng are like fools, they don't need to lie, they just do whatever they are told, they are shrewd, bad-tempered, handsome little widows.

No need to watch, Li Shengli could guess the plot, and went to help himself. Life in the mountain village was better, and the little widow returned home. It was too bad.

"Hi!

What do I care about, this?

Just leave it alone, I'll let your sister-in-law talk to the little widow.

Let's go hand in hand, it's unreasonable for her to be a half-hearted person who wants to blackmail someone.

Victory, the mountain village is the shortest way into Huyu and the best outpost. If you want to trade medicinal materials in the future, you can't do without the mountain village.

There are hundreds of good vacant houses in their village. It's not too late for you to go and take a look.

According to you, the little widow is the best candidate. She has no one in the village to support her, so she relies entirely on us! "Hearing Li Shengli's worries, Zhao Mankui patted the table and smiled. He also had ambitions for Huyu behind the mountain village.

When the season comes, the medicinal materials are all over the mountains, and one person can easily pick them for seven or eight yuan.

If Yang Wenshan hadn't been there, Wali wouldn't have had the chance to go from the mountain village to the mountains. Although collecting herbs is easy, carrying them down the mountain would be laborious.

Mountain villages can park carriages halfway up the mountain. If you go into the mountains from elsewhere and collect medicinal materials that cost 20 yuan, you will have to wear out a strong laborer if you can carry out five yuan.

Ordinary dry herbs only cost two or three cents per catty. Dry herbs cost two hundred catties. Synthetic fresh herbs cost at least five or six hundred catties.

Carrying five to six hundred kilograms of medicinal materials down the mountain would probably take a strong laborer a day.

Transporting the medicine back was another business, collecting herbs and drying them in the mountain village at the same time. It saved more than one and a half work codes, so Zhao Mankui was very eager for Li Shengli to go to the mountain village.

"Okay, I'll go take a look tomorrow and ask Youfang to bring two hundred kilograms of thick stick noodles."

After agreeing to Zhao Mankui, Li Shengli also felt that the mountain village was good. There were hundreds of vacant properties still in the mountains, which could be regarded as a semi-natural refuge.

Carrying a medicine box and a flashlight on his back, Li Shengli first went to Wali Village. Under the gaze of two nervous women, Li Shengli looked at the child who had begun to sweat.

Once you sweat, the problem won't be big. It takes two or three days from fever to internal heat to invade the lungs. Once the fever is relieved, it can be relieved for a few days.

Children have good recovery ability, maybe they will be fine in a day or two.

After comforting the two women for a few words, Li Shengli returned to the old village with the medicine box on his back.

Early the next morning, I asked my sister and Xiao Feng to pack their clothes. It was inefficient to go out now, and they might have to spend the night in a mountain village.

It is also convenient to bring a change of clothes. There is a shrewd little widow in the mountain village. If you bring Xiao Feng, you have to bring your sister Li Yinghong, which can be regarded as letting her experience life.

After practicing boxing, I had breakfast at Zhao's house. I gave Zhao Caixia the task of guarding the infirmary and gave her the medicine that Mr. Xie brought yesterday.

If someone has a fever, first use antelope horn powder and then Dabai tablets. Li Shengli also left the leftover Angong Niuhuang pills from yesterday to Zhao Caixia in case she encounters a child with high fever and convulsions.

Yesterday, Li Shengli had no choice but to use Angong Niuhuang Pills directly because he was afraid that the parents might not have counted and misreported the time when their child had a fever.

This is not an era when every household has a thermometer. It is difficult for families with free-range children to check their children's temperatures if the time is inaccurate.

During this period of time when the antelope horn powder is taking effect, if the child has any problems, it will be considered a medical accident.

Although the two women in the mountain village may not necessarily rely on him, the damage caused by febrile convulsions or convulsions is irreversible for the children.

Li Shengli didn't want to bury a few difficult obstacles in his career as a doctor because of his carelessness.

It doesn't matter to him whether Angong Niuhuang Pill costs $[-] or $[-], but the black spots and ink stains on the medical journey cannot be erased.

Li Shengli knew clearly which one was more important. Even if he needed [-] Angong Niuhuang Pills, he wouldn't blink an eye.

After making arrangements for Wali and checking on the two children in the mountain village, Li Shengli and his party set out for the mountain village after seeing that everything was fine.

After leaving Wali Village, we got on the carriage and walked for about ten miles. The carriage and donkey cart turned onto a dirt road more than three meters wide.

This road has existed for a long time. The light yellow pavement is just like the rammed earth exposed when the city walls were demolished. The tiny ravines washed out by the rain are filled with fine gravel used as aggregate.

When this road was first built, the cost of work invested was not small. It should have been paved with gravel and rammed earth.

The original roadbed was relatively hard and was inevitably bumpy due to wind and rain all year round. Later road maintenance workers simply filled the gullies with loose soil at will.

The carriage, which had poor shock absorption, was a bit bumpy when walking on this dirt road.

Most of the people who built this dirt road back then were private individuals, because different road protection trees were planted on different sections of the road. In some places, the weeping willows were already as thick as a hug.

Some sections of the road are planted with acacias and elm trees. The thinner acacias have a diameter at breast height of about [-] centimeters.

"Old Yang, was this road built by the wealthy landowners who lived in the mountains?"

With an outline in his mind, Li Shengli didn't hold it back and shouted out directly, asking Yang Wenshan who was driving in front.

"Sheng Li, you have good vision. According to the old people in the village, this road will be repaired twice a year in old age.

It was repaired once in late spring and once in late autumn. When we arrived at the entrance of our village, the road up the mountain was paved with stone slabs.

After our village, and further up are the houses of the elderly. Both the streets and alleys are paved with stone slabs, so that your feet will not get muddy on rainy and cloudy days.

There is no water in the mountains, so when they live there in the summer, people in the village have to carry water for them morning and night.

I heard that at that time, there was no rent for the mountain fields in the village. In addition to carrying water and building roads, the people in our village took care of the old houses.

Nowadays, several elderly people in our village go to clean up things when they have nothing to do. They have grown up doing this since they were young and have developed a habit. "

After glancing at the real person who was not very enlightened, Li Shengli didn't answer his words. He couldn't answer them.

In the early years, people had to work for free, but Yang Wenshan insisted on not charging rent, which was inconsistent with the general environment.

After walking alone for more than an hour, Li Shengli saw the outline of the village on the mountain.

On both sides of the road along the way, there were either ditches or ridges, or isolated hills covered with rocks.

Only when you get close to the mountain village can you see the mountain fields with stone dams.
