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

Chapter 69 Yang Erlong is cowardly and ruthless
Secretary Zhou frowned.

If it were before, he would definitely approve of Wang Jianguo's approach. At most, he would criticize him a few words and ask him to pay attention to his methods.

After all, rural jobs cannot be forced, no matter how good the reasons are.

That will create a bad influence among the masses.

However, after meeting Wang Chengzhou and seeing his amazing theory.

Lao Zhou felt that perhaps there were other options for the prevention and treatment of pinkeye.

Seeing that the area was crowded with people, the village chief Wang Tielin straightened his back and cursed:
"Jianguo, didn't you see Secretary Zhou here?"

"The masses don't understand and there are conflicts. We can calm down and do ideological work well."

"Zhishu Bai and I know that you are anxious and angry about the prevention and treatment of pink eye disease, but in front of Secretary Zhou, you are yelling at me, do you know how to be polite!"

In one sentence, the issue comes to etiquette.

It looked like a scolding, but in fact it was a roundabout compliment.

Wang Chengzhou smacked his lips.

Several villagers in Yanggao Village were frightened when they saw the commune secretary here and did not dare to speak anymore.

Yang Erlong, on the other hand, still shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Whatever ideological work you do, if you don't buy it, you won't buy it. Even if you beat me to death, I won't buy it!"

"Isn't it just pinkeye? In what year did it not happen?"

"Don't worry, even if I am blind, I will crawl into the fields to work. I will never let my mother go hungry!"

Encountering such a fool, Wang Tielin and Bai Houping were so angry that their eyes bulged.

But in front of his superiors, he didn't dare to argue with him.

Secretary Zhou, however, had a smile on his face and said kindly:

"Little comrade, what's your name?"

"Does your family belong to Yanggao Village?"

"Why are you so resistant to health worker Wang Jianguo's prevention and control measures? He is doing it for everyone's good."

Yang Erlong looked sideways at him and looked up and down for a while. He didn't answer his words at all. Instead, he rolled his eyes and asked:

"Are you the secretary of our commune?"

"The top leader of our Pushan Township?"

"Is this the one who asked Wang Jianguo to force me to buy those damn things?"

Facing a series of rhetorical questions, Lao Zhou was stunned for a while, his mouth opened, and he didn't know how to answer.

"Yang Erlong, why are you talking to Secretary Zhou!"

"You, you, your brain is muddled! Didn't the hygienist Wang Jianguo explain to you that buying soap, towels, washbasins, etc. is to better prevent and control the spread of diseases. Secretary Zhou is busy with official duties, how can he have time to care about you? Those little things at home!”

Village chief Wang Tielin and party secretary Bai Houping were afraid that he would conflict with the leader, so they scolded him in unison.

The smile on Secretary Zhou’s face disappeared and he said displeasedly:
"What a trivial matter."

"Is it a small matter that concerns people's livelihood and suffering?"

"As the secretary of Pushan Township, any production brigade, any production group, and every member is my responsibility, and it is also my top priority!"

Hearing these words, the onlookers felt excited.

Wang Tielin and Bai Houping couldn't help but lower their heads.

Secretary Zhou lowered the fire and whispered:

"Little comrade, the reason why health worker Wang Jianguo mobilized everyone to buy personal hygiene products is also for epidemic prevention work."

"However, whether the work is done properly and whether the measures are reasonable must be carefully considered."

"If you have any difficulties, just tell them. We will give you an explanation!"

Hearing that the old farmer in front of him scolded the village chief Wang Tielin and the party secretary Bai Houping, Yang Erlong suddenly became fond of him.

He sniffed and said:

"He asked me to buy soap, towels, and a washbasin, but I couldn't bear to part with them, so I started to quarrel with him."

"It's not that I don't cooperate with the work, but my mother and son are the only ones in my family. My mother is blind and can't get off the ground. I only rely on myself to earn work points. The food exchanged at the end of the year is simply not enough to eat."

"There are no wild vegetables in the winter, so I was hungry, so I even dug tree roots to eat. In order to prevent my mother from going hungry, I can't waste any of my work points!"

Yang Erlong frowned, his eyes filled with stubbornness.

But what he said made many people's eyes wet.In those days, everyone suffered hardships.

Pushan Township is located in the Central Plains, and the situation is better. In slightly remote places, people starve to death.

Secretary Zhou's eyes were red, he sighed and said softly:
"Little comrade, you are a filial person."

"But there are always three plagues and six diseases. If the prevention and control work in the village is not in place, what if you are infected with pinkeye?"

"I know you are young and energetic, but illness is not forgiving. When the time comes, will you really be able to work in the fields to earn work points?"

The crowd fell silent for a while.

This is a fact.

In a normal household, if one or two workers fall ill, the impact will not be big.

Like this orphan and widowed mother, the old mother is still disabled and has no income, so she is really going to starve.

Unexpectedly, Yang Erlong raised his head, walked around in the crowd, and said hesitantly:

"Then...that's okay."

"I know that there is a very good health worker in Wangjiacun. He can give people acupuncture, and pink eye and other diseases can be cured immediately."

"Last time, I... I tried to scare him in the middle of the night, but as a result, I was slapped to death by a little girl who didn't know where she came from. He was the one who saved me."

And this thing?
Everyone was surprised. It could be seen that he was hiding his head and hiding his head, and his face was full of fear. It was probably true.

He couldn't help laughing again and looked at Wang Chengzhou one by one.

Yang Erlong followed everyone's gaze and looked over. Their eyes met, feeling embarrassed.

The boy quickly stared around and looked around. He was slightly relieved when he didn't see the tall figure.

Then, scratching his head, he smiled at him.

Wang Chengzhou was speechless and rolled his eyes at him.

Needless to say, it must have been Luan Hongying's slap that cast a psychological shadow on him.

Don't tell me, senior sister is really ruthless.

A young man gave her a hard slap and beat her to death.

However, Secretary Zhou's focus is completely different.

Hearing this, he looked at Wang Chengzhou in disbelief and said in surprise:
"Xiao Wang, can you really cure pinkeye?"

"Can it be cured on the spot?"

"We don't have that kind of special medicine now, do we?"

Wang Chengzhou smiled and said shyly, "What kind of special medicine do you want? No medicine."

"No medicine? How to treat it without medicine? Could it be acupuncture?"

As the secretary of the commune, Lao Zhou is still knowledgeable.

At that time, medical talents were limited, and the country still valued traditional Chinese medicine.

The key is that traditional Chinese medicine generally uses traditional methods to treat diseases, which can save people money and reduce the burden on the medical system.

Therefore, as long as you know a little bit about acupuncture prescriptions, you can be a village health worker.

He became known as the Barefoot Doctor.

Of course, this has also resulted in the phenomenon of uneven quality, and the polarization of the reputation of traditional Chinese medicine stems from this.

"Ah."

Wang Chengzhou nodded and said with a smile:

"Bloodletting, to be exact."

"However, it is not the same thing as the horrific bloodletting treatment in the Western Middle Ages."

"We all perform bloodletting in a reasonable manner according to the meridians and acupoints, and the effect is remarkable."

Secretary Zhou looked at him, but he became more and more interested. He couldn't help turning his head and shouted:

"Um, who among the members at the scene has pinkeye?"

"Here, let Comrade Xiao Wang treat you."

"I'll see the effect."
