Chapter 112 The Clinic Moves into Zhoujiazhuang After entering the house, Zhou Yimin handed the two cured ducks and rapeseed oil to the aunt. I saw an old man sorting things, mainly some Chinese medicines, which he put into medicine boxes in an orderly manner. There were three or four boxes in total. "Master!" Zhou Yimin greeted. An old man looked up and said with a smile: "Yimin, sit down for a while, we will set off soon." Zhou Yimin nodded: "Okay!" The aunt saw that it was indeed for her family, so she was not polite. After all, she was the one who was asked to do the work for her family! It was a labor remuneration, so it was not shameful to take it. This cured duck looks delicious, and a unique aroma permeates the air. There was also a large bottle of rapeseed oil. She knew it weighed about five kilograms. This bottle of oil was enough for their family to eat for about half a year.
After a while, Zhou Dazhong also came in. An old lady knew the relationship between Zhou Dazhong and Zhou Yimin, and immediately poured water for them. "Auntie, you don't have to rush. I'm not thirsty now." Zhou Yimin said to her. After a while, the old man sorted out all the four and a half cubic medicine boxes, filled with medicine. Two days ago, he accepted Zhou Yimin's invitation and went to Zhoujiazhuang to see patients. "Okay, let's go!" Uncle Chen Baishu had specially asked for leave from the steel plant yesterday. But when the steel mill learned that he had accepted Zhou Yimin's invitation to go to Zhoujiazhuang for medical treatment, the leaders of the steel mill simply sent Chen Baishu to the countryside to support Zhoujiazhuang. Anyway, their steel plant has a close relationship with Zhoujiazhuang, and they have made donations to the school in Zhoujiazhuang before. This is also a kind of support. The only difference is that the former is educational support, while the latter is medical support. Yesterday, Director Hu and his team held a meeting to discuss that the steel plant would provide targeted support to Zhoujiazhuang in the future. They knew that Zhoujiazhuang was currently planting vegetables, and when the vegetables were harvested, their steel plant would purchase them, with Zhou Yimin in charge. After hearing what the old man said, Zhou Yimin and Zhou Dazhong moved the medicine box out and put it on the tricycle. Zhou Yimin carried an old man named Chen Baishu, while Zhou Dazhong set off with a medicine box. At this time in Zhoujiazhuang, the old branch secretary had someone clean up an uninhabited house with a living room and two rooms, which could be said to be a two-bedroom and one-living room house. There are benches on both sides of the hall, a cabinet similar to a medicine cabinet in front, and a table next to it. One of the rooms had a wooden bed, and the other room was used as a kitchen with a stove, an iron pot, and some firewood piled inside. Of course they welcome doctors who come to Zhoujiazhuang with open arms! After Zhou Yimin asked Zhou Dazhong's mother to bring back a message, the old branch secretary led people to prepare the clinic site, which is the house in front of us. Although it is not luxurious, it is clean and tidy. From then on, if people in Zhoujiazhuang fell ill, they no longer had to go to the Red Star Commune to see a doctor. This is the medical convenience that Zhou Yimin fought for their village.
The reason why Zhou Yimin did this was mainly because a few days ago, a group of old men and women in his house accidentally talked about how they always had various old illnesses. He thought of his grandparents and initially planned to take them to the city hospital for a physical examination. But considering the personalities of his grandparents, Zhou Yimin changed his mind and simply invited doctors to the village regularly to treat and prescribe medicine for the elderly in the village. "Clean it all up for me," the old party secretary shouted. Since Yimin came back, their village has been getting better and better. First, they solved the problem of food, and then they got a piece of "cultivated land" for their village, and found a way to generate income; secondly, they solved the problem of children's education in the village, so that the children not only have books to read, but also have good food and clothes; and now, they have found doctors for the villagers and solved the problem of difficulty in seeing a doctor. To be honest, Zhou Yimin now has a high prestige in the village. If he wants to be the village chief, there is no resistance at all, even the old party secretary will support him. However, Yimin is now a glorious steel factory worker and will definitely not come back to be the village chief. Workers are much more popular than village cadres. After the clinic was set up, the old branch secretary brought people to the village entrance to welcome them. "Are you coming today?" The old branch secretary confirmed the news with Zhou Dazhong's mother again. "That's what my Sixteenth Brother said. It can't be wrong." Not long after, Zhou Yimin and others came back. Zhou Yimin carried Chen Baishu in front, and Zhou Dazhong followed behind with the medicine box, and they entered the village one after another. Chen Baishu was touched to see that he was so valued. Half of the village came to greet him, right? He got off the car and got to know the old branch secretary and others one by one. "The leader of our steel plant said that I will come to Zhoujiazhuang twice a week to see patients and treat everyone..." Chen Baishu conveyed the factory's good intentions. The old branch secretary led the applause: "Thank you very much, thank you very much for the support of the steel plant to our Zhoujiazhuang." Afterwards, the old branch secretary took Chen Baishu to the "clinic" they had carefully prepared, and told Chen Baishu to ask for anything he needed, as as long as they could do it in Zhoujiazhuang, they would do their best. "You're too polite, Secretary. I think this place is fine. It's fine." Zhou Yimin: "I have an unused thermos at home, I'll bring it over later. By the way, uncle, please come to my house for dinner for now." Since he was the one who invited them, he naturally had to treat them well. Chen Baishu didn't bother to be polite with Zhou Yimin and nodded, "Alright." Then, he took out the medicines from the medicine box one by one and placed them on the cabinet. "Let the old man see the doctor first today," Zhou Yimin reminded. The old Party Secretary: "Don't worry! I'll make the arrangements." Unless there are special circumstances, young people are not allowed to come here to join in the fun today. Everyone knows that Yimin invited all the doctors back to their village to see patients regularly in the future, mainly to make it easier for the elderly in the village to see doctors. "Uncle, if you need any medicine in the future, tell me and I will see if I can get it for you." Zhou Yimin said to Chen Baishu again. Chen Baishu knew that Zhou Yimin was not bragging, and guessed that he knew some powerful people and might be able to find some rare medicines. "Okay! I'll tell you if I need anything. By the way, can someone help me? It would be best if someone is dexterous." Chen Baishu said.
He may not be able to handle it all by himself, as he has to see patients, prescribe medicine, etc. "Let me do it! I also know a little about Chinese medicine." At this time, a young man stood up. Zhou Yimin discovered that it was Dachun’s younger brother Daqiu. "Oh? You know herbs? Let me test you." The uncle became interested and wanted to test Da Qiu. If he really knew herbs, that would be the best, a perfect assistant. As he spoke, Chen Baishu began to ask Daqiu to identify the medicines and even tested his ability to find the medicines. After two or three minutes, Chen Baishu was very satisfied with Da Qiu. The old Party secretary said, "Then, Daqiu, you will help here from now on, and the village will give you work points." Zhou Yimin seemed to be thinking about something. (End of this chapter)
