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

Chapter 67 I Advise You on Mouse Tail Juice
Lao Zhou was completely stunned.

In fact, the county doctor went to the commune to do science popularization.

Pink eye, also called conjunctivitis, has a pathological cause that many comrades know, and they also know that it is mainly caused by not paying attention to personal hygiene.

Therefore, everyone instinctively agrees with the deeds of health worker Wang Jianguo.

After all, their methods and ideas are completely correct.

Before coming, many people said that if he really controlled the pinkeye disease in Yanggao Village and ensured agricultural production, they would set him up as a model or something.

Now it seems that there is a better solution.

I really didn’t expect that getting some flowers and plants from the mountains could have such a big effect?
Lao Zhou still had doubts, but a group of club members were anxious.

"Chengzhou, this...is called Cangzhu or something, please give me a few slices first. As you know, we have a lot of children in our family. Your little nephews are not very old. They have pink eye and cry and make fuss at night. I can’t even rest well. Give me some first and I’ll take it back and try it.”

"Hey, you little clever guy! Are you anxious, but others are not? My mother is over 80 years old, and her eyesight is not good. If she has pink eye and is troubled every day, why don't you hit me with a stick? First? Give me some."

"Tsk, that's it. We are all young and old men from the same village, so don't let it be embarrassing. If you have everything you want lined up, will Chengzhou be short of you?"

Everyone was pushing and shoving, and they stopped doing any work and started lining up spontaneously.

Wang Chengzhou was a little speechless, but he couldn't stop everyone's enthusiasm, so he had to say loudly:

"Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet."

"In addition to honeysuckle and atractylodes, there is another medicine that everyone must be familiar with. It is the dandelion we often eat when digging wild vegetables, also called dandelion."

"This stuff clears away heat and detoxifies, reduces swelling and stagnation, removes dampness and relieves stranguria. It returns to the liver and stomach meridians. It is effective in treating red and swollen eyes caused by inflammation of liver fire. But don't eat too much, otherwise it may cause diarrhea."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone started laughing.

Many people started to show off:

"Ouch, Chengzhou, you've only been a hygienist for a few days, and you're already talking about diarrhea. Isn't it just diarrhea after eating too much? I know this better than you."

"Hahaha, not only do you have diarrhea, but you also have diarrhea! You must mix it with some stick noodles, you can't eat it dry."

"Why not? I'll just eat it as a cold dish. It's bitter, but it's quite tasty."

In those days, food production was not high, and wild vegetables were an important addition to the table.

As soon as I mentioned this, everyone got excited.

The lively scene made Lao Zhou blink his eyes.

I thought to myself: This Comrade Xiao Wang seems to be very arrogant, but he can really mingle with the masses.

Wang Chengzhou raised his hands to signal everyone to stop and said seriously:

"These three things are enough."

"But, again, you must pay attention to personal hygiene every day. Wash your hands frequently, ventilate more, and avoid gatherings. After going to the toilet, don't rush to get the steamed buns. It doesn't feel uncomfortable."

"Our rural area has green mountains and green waters, and the environment is good, but there are also many dung piles for retting. They should be arranged neatly and don't leave them everywhere."

Everyone laughed again, but it was a little embarrassing.

Life is hard. In order to get more work points, many people mix human excrement with some dead branches and leaves and pile it up to form a dung pile.

Then, they went to the fields to exchange for work points.

In order to support a family, basically all the ways that can be thought of can be thought of.

Living is not easy.

"Uncle, you've got the honeysuckle and atractylodes, but what about the dandelions?"

I don't know if it was intentional or not. Seeing that everyone was silent, Yang Xiushuan poked his head and asked eagerly.

Wang Chengzhou glared at her and said angrily:

"Dig it yourself, one sack at a time!"

"If you want a handful of wild vegetables, you might as well just let me feed you."

"This little wife!"

"Humph!"

After being scolded, Yang Xiushuan pretended to be angry and pouted.

Everyone laughed when they saw it.

"Okay, okay, let's get to work." Wang Chengzhou finished scattering the Atractylodes tablets and saw everyone gathered together, so he urged, "When the village cadres see that we are all herding sheep, it's time to call out again."

Everyone quickly started weeding and fertilizing.

Lao Zhou touched the dark stubble on his chin, thoughtfully.

Seeing Wang Chengzhou hunched over and starting to hoe the ground, he quickly followed him and worked next to him.

But said in his mouth:

"Comrade Xiao Wang, I don't see that you still have this ability."

"Now I understand that what you said is really confident."

"If those herbal medicines are really effective, they will be much more practical than the method used by health worker Wang Jianguo."

"right?"

Wang Chengzhou was proud and said with a smile:

"That's why I said you are smart."

"I advise you, old comrade, rat tail juice, to reflect carefully. In the future, don't make such a clever move again, you little clever guy!"

"Health work must value harmony and be close to the masses, and do not engage in internal fighting."

Lao Zhou was holding a hoe and was greatly shocked.

He couldn't help but nodded and said sincerely:
"Comrade Xiao Wang, your criticism is correct."

"I have been working in rural areas for more than ten years. I thought that no one knew farmers better than me. Who knew, I learned a lesson from you today."

"In the final analysis, it is still not sinking enough. If people are too busy, they will eventually make mistakes."

Wang Chengzhou felt a little embarrassed, chuckled and scratched his head.

At this moment, a group of people ran out of the village, and the road was filled with dust.

Seeing Lao Zhou in the field from a distance, he seemed even more panicked. They swarmed up and said in surprise:
"Secretary Zhou, you...why did you come to the fields alone?"

"Didn't we agree to pick you up at 09:30 in the morning?"

"You guys are so easy to find. I thought you were missing."

Among the people who came were the brigade secretary Bai Houping, several village chiefs, and women directors.

Wang Tielin, the head of Wangjia Village, is naturally among them.

Seeing the formation in front of them, the working members were stunned.

No one expected that this simple old farmer turned out to be the commune secretary!
That's the top leader in Pushan Township.

How could such a person quietly follow the big guy and start hoeing the ground?
Wang Chengzhou looked even more stunned and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

From the beginning, he thought that this person was a cadre who went to the countryside, but he didn't expect that the official was so old.

The point is, I just said a few words to him.

Old Zhou... doesn't hold grudges, does he?

"What are you going to do?"

Secretary Zhou straightened up and glanced at them, expressionless, "I'm not here to inspect the work."

"Why don't you just stay in the office and feel miserable? Come out and help the fellow villagers with some work."

"What are you doing? If you have nothing to do, just go do your own work and avoid formalities."

Village party secretary Bai Houping opened his mouth, took a step closer with a smile, lowered his head and said:

"Secretary Zhou, recently, pink eye has become popular in our hometown again."

"This kind of eye disease is not serious, but it affects agricultural production very much. It has always been difficult to treat."

"Recently, Comrade Wang Jianguo, our health worker in Yanggao Village, has formulated a complete set of prevention and control measures with outstanding results. Therefore, I would like to ask you to check it. If it is feasible, promote it to the production brigades of brothers, which can also be regarded as benefiting the village's economy. Let’s contribute to construction.”

When Secretary Zhou heard this, he glanced at him and nodded, "Speaking of which, this is exactly why I came to the countryside."

"Wang Jianguo, the health worker in Yanggao Village, right?"

"Go, take me to have a look."
