The table at Father Ding’s house is filled with good wine and delicious food.

He was very happy today. After a few glasses of wine, he was already a little drunk.

"Weidong, I thank you so much. Our brothers didn't say anything anymore, we were all in the wine."

Father Ding was really a little drunk, and he began to call Cao Weidong brothers.

Ding Qiunan was so angry that he kicked his father in the side.

Ding's father was so happy that he didn't realize it.

Before meeting Cao Weidong, he and his wife and children ate bran and water every day, suffered from hunger, and almost couldn't survive.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have pushed his daughter to Cui Dake just because of a few bags of grain.

It’s completely different now.

Compared with before, it is simply like the sky and the earth.

Cao Weidong was not in a hurry to drink, but said with a smile.

"Uncle Ding, actually I came to you this time for other reasons."

Father Ding said oh.

"I knew you weren't that free...tell me, what is it?"

Cao Weidong pretended not to hear Father Ding’s complaints.

"I would like to ask you to come out and help me compile a medical instruction manual."

Father Ding spat out all the wine he had just drank.

This news is too sudden.

He sobered up immediately.

I was stunned for a long time.

I refused decisively.

"I can't do this book editing thing, you'd better find someone else."

Ding Qiunan was there to help.

"Father, don't refuse in a hurry. Let Brother Wei Dong finish his words."

His daughter had spoken, and Father Ding could only hold back and listen to what Cao Weidong had to say.

Cao Weidong gave Ding Qiunan a look and decided to go back in the evening to reward him.

Ding Qiunan blushed, glared at Cao Weidong angrily, and decided to ignore him.

Cao Weidong smiled and continued.

"I want to compile a practical guidance textbook on medicine. The purpose is to let more people understand medicine and learn how to treat diseases and save lives... After thinking about it, I feel that you were exposed to traditional Chinese medicine in your early years and then studied Western medicine in depth.

, and went abroad to study, so he is the perfect candidate to write this book."

Father Ding's face turned green when he heard this.

Writing medical books is definitely a good thing, but the resistance is great!

He shook his head like a rattle and firmly refused!

"It won't happen, it won't happen, it won't happen, it won't happen. Even if you tell me today, I won't dare. You'd better hire someone else."

The law should not be passed lightly!

There are actually many schools of thought in the field of traditional Chinese medicine.

Each school is self-contained and has some special skills.

If you casually pass on other people's medicinal prescriptions and medical theories, you will make others jealous.

Unless the state comes forward to coordinate and handle this matter, any individual who wants to accomplish this will be scolded in the spine.

Cao Weidong is well aware of Father Ding's little thoughts.

He also knows how difficult it is to compile a medical encyclopedia.

But everything is difficult at the beginning.

What he seeks is nothing more than a beginning.

I believe that once you get started with what you are doing, it will definitely attract the support of many people.

This is the principle that many people will get help if they are in good ways, and few will help if they are unjust.

Of course, these are all things for later. The most urgent task now is to convince Father Ding.

Cao Weidong said slowly.

"Uncle, human life is of the utmost importance, and if you have a lot of money, it is more virtuous than helping others... You should still remember this sentence, right?"

This is a sentence from the preface to Sun Simiao's "A Thousand Gold Prescriptions".

It means that human life is more precious than a thousand pieces of gold.

If someone saves a life or helps someone else.

Then his virtue is more than a thousand pieces of gold.

Facing Cao Weidong's gaze, Father Ding's face turned red with embarrassment.

He naturally remembers these words.

Even when I was young, I often used this sentence to urge myself.

It's a pity that things change and people change.

I have experienced a lot, and my original intention has long since changed.

Thinking of his ups and downs for half his life, Father Ding was a little crazy for a while.

Cao Weidong struck while the iron was hot and shared some of his experiences in the commune with Ding's father.

Then added.

"Uncle Ding, the people in communes and villages and towns are still suffering from various common diseases. Even minor illnesses and serious diseases are caused by irregular treatment, inappropriate use of medicines, and lack of hand washing and disinfection when practicing medicine. Shouldn't you do something?

What?"

"This..."

Father Ding was silent.

A long while.

He asked in a harsh voice.

"What do you think about this book...how do you plan to edit it?"

Cao Weidong was overjoyed and said.

"I think this book should start from the pathology, to the diagnostic methods, symptom manifestations and treatment plans. It must be detailed, careful and scientifically rigorous. After the book is completed, we can select suitable people in villages, towns and villages to carry out simple and

The quick training equips him with the most basic medical knowledge, so that he can perform the minimum diagnosis and treatment of common diseases and frequently-occurring diseases."

"I call such people barefoot doctors, and this book is the Barefoot Doctor's Manual."

"In my mind, The Barefoot Doctor's Manual should be an all-inclusive medical book. It is not a learning material for a small number of people, but a treatment tool for the vast majority of people... This book should explain the profound things in a simple way.

It is simple, easy to understand, and practical, allowing people who read this book to immediately think of countermeasures and ways to treat illnesses and save lives."

Father Ding finally stopped resisting, but he still had a troubled expression on his face.

If this medical book can be successfully compiled, it will definitely be a great achievement.

But it’s too difficult.

Such an ambitious goal and huge scale cannot be accomplished by one person.

Cao Weidong said.

"Of course I am aware of the difficulties involved. Let's start with the common diseases in the north. We don't want those complicated things, just focus on the problems."

"And if you think about it, this is something that will benefit the future. If you participate in the compilation of this medical book, it will be famous throughout the ages."

Father Ding caught the meaning of Cao Weidong's words and asked hesitantly.

"You mean...it's not just me?"

Cao Weidong grinned.

"Of course... I have assembled a professional team of doctors, but now I am missing the backbone of you."

"Excuse me, do you want to fight a medical defense battle with us?"

When Father Ding heard this, he took a sip of wine and said through gritted teeth.

"Okay, I've done this."
