Chapter 189 Sending Warmth

Movies and fireworks brought the atmosphere of New Year's Eve to a climax. Then a Hong Kong Lunar New Year comedy was played in the cinema. At this time, the sound of firecrackers could be heard from near or far.Ma Qianju had no intention of watching movies anymore, got up to go out, he still had things to do.

Walking outside, Wu De had already waited with seven or eight laborers pushing a wheelbarrow, and then Xiao Zishan and others also came.Several members of the executive committee who often show up went separately to "send warmth".

As the time-traveling group grows bigger and bigger, the local people must be used in many ways, and it becomes very important to keep them loyal to the time-traveling group.The executive committee roughly divided the work and went to various places to carry out condolence work.

Wang Luobin went to Yanchang Village, and brought some New Year's goods to Du Wen, who insisted on running the Yanchang Farmers Workshop there, and the team stationed in Yanchang Village. Take the letter.It was Xiong Buyou and Yang Baogui who went to Damei Village. They sent a cart of salt and more than a dozen barrels of fish to the villagers of Damei Village as condolences. Damei Village will become an important animal husbandry base of the Ministry of Agriculture in the future. Explore the local environment.These two groups depart during the day and return at night.

Ma Qianzhu had to go to the hospital.More than 30 wounded who were seriously injured in the battle of Bopu were treated there.

The Bairen General Hospital was brightly lit. Ma Qianju went in and saw that all the doctors, including the veterinarian Comrade Yang Baogui, were all in the hospital, and none of them went to the movies or went for a walk. He was very moved.Quickly ran into the duty room and held Shi Youren's hand:

"Thank you, Doctor Shi!"

Shi Yanren was caught off guard and was taken aback. When he saw that Ma Qianju was coming, he hurriedly said, "Commissioner Ma has worked hard! You came to the hospital for inspection at such a late hour?"

"I'm here to visit the wounded and sick." As he said, the laborers had already brought in all kinds of condolences.

"The executive committee is very thoughtful." Shi Yanren originally wanted to remind the executive committee, but now it seems that the executive committee is quite comprehensive, "You are very good for the emotional stability of the wounded." effect."

"What? Emotional?"

"Didn't I report the situation of the wounded? Ten of them must be disabled." Shi Yanren rang the bell, and a woman with low eyebrows came in outside, wearing the light blue cloth nurse uniform of a nurse from the Ministry of Health. A soft cap with a blue snake-wrapped olive wood badge on the chest - the health department decided not to use the red cross as a symbol, which has too strong a religious meaning, and uses the logo of the health organization instead.The choice of blue for the nurse uniform is based on folk customs, so as not to irritate the wounded—only white is worn for condolences.

"Make tea for Commissioner Ma."

The woman responded in a low voice, went out, and soon brought Ma Qianju a cup of hot tea.

"Who is this? Doesn't it look like the health school students assigned to you?" Ma Qianju was still very vigilant. The woman in front of him was 35 or [-] years old. Women at this age were assigned to the labor department of the commune. of.

"This is Wu Nanhai's woman." Shi Yanren said casually, "She also has a daughter. She is still in the farm. When I asked for this woman, this guy refused to give it to me!"

"What?" Ma Qianzhu's jaw almost dropped in surprise. Wu Nanhai was familiar to him: chubby, kind-hearted, and a standard good person, but he actually had a mother-daughter duo?Sure enough, people cannot be judged by their appearance.

Seeing his surprised face, Shi Yanren realized that he might have misunderstood the meaning, and hurriedly explained: "I got it from Wu Nanhai's agricultural department. It is a pair of mother and daughter that Wu Nanhai asked Zhang Xingjiao to pick up from Goujiazhuang a few months ago. .”

"Oh, it's them." He forgot what he didn't say.Taking a closer look at the female nurse, although she is thin, she has delicate features.

"In the inpatient department, there are 17 wounded from the new army and 8 wounded from the labor force, and 10 of them must be disabled." Shi Yuren said, "These people are in a bad mood. There is also a little soldier who has been crying and saying Why save him, not just give him a knife on the spot."

"Why? Very disabled?" Ma Qianju felt very strange.

"He's an artillery soldier, with one side of his face severely burned and disfigured." Shi Youren sighed, "We don't have plastic surgery here—"

Ma Qianzhu nodded.

"The crippled have such emotions. Those who have lost their legs or arms all talk about how they will live in the future. It would be better to just die—"

"The crippled ones are of course raised by us, so what else can we say?" Ma Qianzhu said with a look of emotion.

"The problem is that they don't know." Shi Yanren took a sip of tea, "Mr. Du, why didn't you explain this kind of policy and treatment to everyone in advance? It will affect morale a lot."

Ma Qianju was a little ashamed: "When I didn't meet him, I couldn't remember it."

"Fortunately, you guys are thoughtful." Shi Yanren breathed a sigh of relief, "It just so happens that you're here, and I don't have to worry about anything. Our medicine problem needs to be resolved as soon as possible."

"What request do you have, let's talk about it, and we will solve it at the planning meeting next year."

"To be honest, there are too few things that can be solved locally. It is difficult to maintain the level of medical care at this rate." Shi Youren said.

So far, they can only solve the supply of distilled water, medical alcohol, cotton bandages and absorbent cotton.Strictly speaking, cotton bandages are just substitutes, and cannot be compared with gauze. The absorbent cotton was made by Li Di last time when he was making nitrocellulose.

"It's not appropriate to ask the industrial sector to do these things. They have no idea about medical products. We need to build a medical supplies factory under the management of the Ministry of Health."

"Okay!" Ma Qianju knew that this request was reasonable, and readily agreed.

"There is also the problem of glass equipment." Shi Yanren said, "Pharmaceutical factories will need a large amount of glass equipment for the production of medicines. I hope that the Executive Committee will give more favor to the Ministry of Health-I know that glass will be used in the future. Our money-making project, but if modern antibiotics can be produced, the lethality is much stronger than glasses and mirrors."

"What did you say? Mass production of antibiotics?" Ma Qianju became excited. Having penicillin in this time and space is like having an atomic bomb.With this, the cross-travelers have unparalleled medical advantages, and can use modern medical methods to infiltrate and transform all levels of society.When Western missionaries went to underdeveloped areas to preach, they used nothing more than two means: education and medical care.The effect is very obvious.

"That's right, antibiotics." Shi Yanren said affirmatively, "The Ministry of Health has many strains, but the conditions are limited now, and they cannot be cultivated and mass-produced on a large scale." He seemed to see Ma Qianzhu's thoughts, "Actually Not only antibiotics, but also many medicines are not difficult to manufacture, when the time comes we will have a medicine going to the countryside—”

"That's right, that's right, the masses are short of medical care, and they need it most!" Ma Qianzhu stood up excitedly, and suddenly realized that he had forgotten his original purpose, "Come on, take me to visit the wounded and sick. "

Ma Qianju walked through several wards one by one. Although the Ministry of Health was in the 17th century and the conditions were simple, the construction of the whole hospital was really unambiguous. The hospital is a two-story ring-shaped building with an open-air atrium in the middle. There are green bricks and benches where patients can bask in the sun and breathe fresh air.The inpatient department is located in the building at the back. The floors are all covered with wooden floors, which have been washed clean, and the walls are painted white with white lime. Electric Lighting - This is for ease of care and observation.

Ma Qianzhu first visited the lightly wounded, and gave them condolences, nothing special, after all, there was no canned food, no health care products, not even candies.What I got were salt tickets and rice tickets, wrapped in red paper.The wounded were all happy when they took it. Although they were injured, they survived the catastrophe, and they were not missing arms or legs. They lived here with good food and drink, and there were doctors from the "chief" to see the doctor, and young "nurse" Take care, attentive and thoughtful, really will not change for a landlord.

The area for the disabled patients seemed lifeless. Ma Qianzhu sent red envelopes to everyone, but saw that the faces of all the people on the hospital bed were gloomy. Ask someone to take care of food and drink. When we can move, we will leave immediately—"

"Let's go?" Ma Qianzhu was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood that these disabled and wounded people thought the red envelopes they gave were severance pay.Can't help but have mixed feelings in my heart.Don't let the heroes bleed and shed tears. These people may not be heroes, but they were injured and disabled for crossing the group.He raised his hands and said aloud:

"Everyone, don't think about it," Ma Qianzhu said sincerely, "You were injured and disabled for the time-traveling group, and the time-traveling group will support you for the rest of your life! Not only to feed you, but also to live a glorious life! "

When the wounded heard him say this, their eyes lit up a little, then dimmed again. The little soldier with half of his face wrapped in a cloth said, "My face is broken. Who will marry me in the future?"

"If you have something, you will definitely get it." Ma Qianju said firmly, "If you really can't find someone who is willing, I will buy you a yellow-flowered girl as a daughter-in-law!"

After saying this, he himself felt that he was too beastly.If Xiao Du had to fly up and lift his crotch legs.

"Really? Not lying?!"

"When we talk through the crowd, when have we ever lied to someone?" Ma Qianju was very angry, "Not only you, but all the disabled brothers will marry you wives, build a house, live a good life, and keep your word. " Seeing that everyone was still a little confused, he simply swore: "If not, then heaven and earth will perish!"

"My hands are still good, I don't need you to support me, just find a job that I can do!" Someone said.

"Although I only have one arm, I can drive a car or something."

……

All the wounded expressed their determination not to be idle, and the atmosphere became lively.This made Ma Qianzhu excited: what a good comrade, indeed the hearts of the working people are the most beautiful.However, the issue of how to arrange the work of disabled soldiers has not yet been finalized, and it is inconvenient for me to talk nonsense, so I quickly raised my hand and said: "We will consider everyone's opinions, and we will definitely let everyone live a stable life. The only thing you have to do now It is to rest in peace of mind, and the people and the people will never forget you."

Wu De took a few people to get warm things from the planning committee.He had already planned in his heart, there were so many people in the commune, so naturally he couldn't go to every house, but he had already thought about which houses to go to: those bachelors and those who came from other places, homeless, unemployed, and unaccompanied. It's pretty bleak to say the least.

In the single dormitory, most people haven’t slept yet, and they still continue the habit of “watching the year”. They light oil lamps in the room, drink some wine, and listen to the sound of firecrackers in the distance from time to time. The appearance of Wu De surprised everyone Unexpectedly, at the end of the New Year's Eve, when the Wan family reunited, the highest official of the commune would come to see them in the dormitory, and even those who had already fallen asleep were woken up.

Wu De saw that Lin Xing was also there, the vice president was also an unaccompanied bachelor, he specially changed into a new suit today, and posted a New Year picture next to the bed, which seemed a bit like the New Year, and said with a smile: "You It’s a bit of a New Year’s Eve here.”

"The villain came out to do the work when he was 14 years old," Lin Xing said with a smile, "It's all about having fun while suffering. If you don't have a home, you have to think of yourself as having a home."

"Okay, well said. If you don't have a home, you have to have a home." Wu De looked at the group of commune members and laborers who looked at him with surprised eyes, "Since everyone is living in Bairen Commune, here is Everyone's home. Come, let's have a drink." He opened the wine jar that he brought with him, "It's all full, let's have a bowl together."

The wine is glutinous rice wine sent from outside. It tastes sweet and not high in alcohol.For Wu De, it was nothing to worry about. After drinking, the workers who had been a little cautious gradually became active.Wu De took advantage of the momentum to distribute all kinds of condolences to everyone. In fact, there were no good things, but some betel nuts, dried small fish, dried sweet potato sticks, sunflower seeds and the like.But even this has moved everyone enough.On New Year's Eve, the short-haired chief can still come to visit these hard-working rough men, not to mention giving them food, just this face is enough!There is no such decent thing when doing work for the landlord.

Coming out of the collective dormitory, he took people to families with old people and children, and gave each household a 5-kilogram rice ticket and a piece of cloth ticket-according to the regulations, the elderly and children of the commune members Children who cannot be sent to work do not enjoy canteen meals. Although laborers can get extra work points compensation according to the maintenance relationship, life is always more stressful than ordinary people.

"Lin Xing, do you think those families with many children and young children have enough to eat?" Wu De asked on the way back after finishing the last family.

"If you can eat enough, you just don't eat enough." Lin Xing was very frank.

"Oh? A member's daily work voucher should not be enough to buy so much food—"

"Of course it's not enough to eat dry rice all at once, but each family has their own land, where they can grow some sweet potatoes and eat them together, which is enough."

"It's still too bitter." Wu De felt that this was too harsh on the workers.

"It's not bitter." Lin Xing was a little surprised, "It doesn't take much labor to grow sweet potatoes, and you can harvest a lot in three to four months. In the past, everyone ate the last meal without the next meal. Sweet potato porridge is considered a good meal. "

"The child is too thin." Wu De sighed.
