But I don’t know what’s going on. It’s extremely hot in Sijiu City this year. The house is like a furnace and I can’t stay in it. So the residents ran out to enjoy the coolness.
Today happens to be Sunday, when everyone has a day off.
Director Wang from the sub-district office held a cattail leaf fan in one hand and a mat in the other. He picked the crooked-neck ginkgo tree at the entrance of the courtyard and enjoyed the shade under the tree.
As soon as Director Wang sat down, his neighbor Lao Ma, who lived in the same courtyard next to him, asked.
"Director Wang, aren't you busy today?"
Director Wang smiled.
"Recently, our streets have good security, the social atmosphere is pure and kind, and mobile red flags have been hanging for three months. I can also have a good two days of rest."
"The relationship is good, why don't we come over and play chess? Lao Zhangtou is so stinky at chess that I'm too lazy to play with him."
"You fart, I'm really good at chess. If you hadn't always cheated, I would have won long ago."
Lao Zhangtou, who was sitting opposite Lao Ma, was unhappy and said with a pinched neck.
Director Wang smiled.
Lao Zhang and Lao Ma are both neighbors in a large courtyard.
It's just that these two people have always been a bit difficult to deal with.
But because we all like to play chess and have common hobbies, we often get together.
Just like rejoicing in enemies.
Director Wang waved his hand and took out a red-covered booklet from his backpack.
"No, you better go ahead. The higher-ups have arranged a task and want us to study the contents of this book."
Lao Zhang's attention quickly shifted.
"Director Wang, what kind of book is this? Is it a new quotation?"
Director Wang waved the cover towards the two of them.
"No, this book is called the Barefoot Doctor's Manual. It is a reference book that teaches others how to treat illnesses."
"Why do you want to read this kind of book? You are not a doctor?"
"Although I am not a professional doctor, I still need to be familiar with it, because the organization has assigned tasks and I need to know and understand them in advance when promoting them in the streets."
Lao Ma sneered.
"What, reading a book can cure your illness, are you kidding us?"
Director Wang introduced it seriously.
"You really can't believe it. This book is written in enough detail and easy to understand. It allows people to follow the contents of the manual to treat the symptoms...at least it can be used in emergencies. This is better than not being able to find a doctor when you are sick."
Is it better to go to the doctor for treatment?"
He is a cadre and often reads newspapers, so he knows the country's purpose of promoting this book.
This is to solve the current problem of insufficient medical staff in the country and the inability to treat patients when they are sick, so it was specially compiled by medical staff.
But Lao Ma and Lao Zhang are both rough people, and they don’t understand these things.
Therefore, Director Wang simply said a few words, stopped arguing, and planned to continue studying this book.
As a result, the old horse got excited.
"Director Wang, this book is really as magical as you said, I don't believe it."
"Hey, Xiao Li just happened to be here. His youngest son had a cold and a fever the day before yesterday. It has been two days and the fever still hasn't gone away. However, the little couple has been troubled. Can you use the knowledge in the book to help him?"
Xiao Li's name is Li Xuemin, and he is an employee of a textile factory. He lives in a large courtyard with Lao Ma and Lao Zhang.
He happened to be passing by here, heard them mention his name, and walked over curiously.
Lao Ma stopped Li Xuemin and told him the matter in a few words.
Li Xuemin was also in a hurry and sought medical treatment. As if grasping a life-saving straw, he held Secretary Wang's hand and begged.
"Director Wang, is there really a cure for my little boy in this book?"
Director Wang is not a doctor, so he didn't want to agree at first, but when he saw Xiao Li's eyes were red and his face was haggard, he felt weak in his heart.
"Yes, there is, but I can't guarantee it...I can only give you a reference. You still have to go to the hospital to see a doctor."
Li Xuemin, such a strong-willed man, began to wipe his tears at this time.
"As long as there is a way, Director Wang, you don't know that children are more likely to get sick during social gatherings in spring and summer. Now the hospitals that treat children are all full. My mother went to queue up yesterday, and she hasn't been in the queue yet."<
/p>
Director Wang asked about the child's symptoms, took out the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual" and began to read through it.
The contents page of the booklet is categorized and the entries are clear and concise.
He quickly found the category of colds and fevers.
Then we compared the child's symptoms and the solar terms of the past few days to find a symptomatic treatment method.
"I found it. There are three ways. Do you want to choose Western medicine or Chinese medicine?"
"Is there a difference?"
"The difference..."
Director Wang looked at it and said.
"Western medicine has a fast effect, but it is said that it can only be used for emergencies and cannot be abused or commonly used because it has certain side effects. Traditional Chinese medicine is relatively mild, but its effect is slow."
"By the way, Chinese medicine is cheaper."
Li Xuemin just wanted to get his youngest son well as soon as possible, and he said directly without considering the price.
"I choose Western medicine to get better quickly. I feel uncomfortable just looking at it."
After asking, he carefully memorized the Western medicine Director Wang said, then turned around and ran to the health center to buy medicine.
Lao Ma was muttering beside him.
"I'm so anxious and don't go to the health center to ask the doctor. I'm not afraid of mistakes in the book..."
He still holds a negative attitude towards this "Barefoot Doctor's Manual".
.......
The next day.
Lao Ma came out early and squatted in the yard waiting for Li Xuemin.
As soon as Li Xuemin walked out of the house, he was startled when he saw his mother squatting at his door with green eyes.
"Uncle Ma, what are you doing?"
Lao Ma chuckled and asked directly: "I just want to ask, how is your son? Is he cured?"
Speaking of this, Li Xuemin became energetic and said with joy: "Hey, don't tell me, the prescription that Director Wang gave me is really effective. My youngest son fell asleep after taking the medicine yesterday, and his fever went away in the evening. Today
I feel more energetic."
"I plan to go to Director Wang again and ask for a recipe to supplement nutrition and keep it up... Hey, Uncle Ma, what are you going to do?"
The old horse has already run far away.
He turned around and shook his head and shouted.
"I'm going to ask Secretary Wang for a book... I'm leaving now, and we'll talk about it later."
It’s hard to see a doctor these days.
The Barefoot Doctor's Manual is so useful, why would he ask for a copy to be kept at home?
This is called asking for medical treatment rather than asking for yourself.
.......
Cao Weidong stretched.
Holding Xiaoxue with one hand, looking at Tongquan City after a long absence, her eyes were filled with emotion.
He tilted his head slightly and murmured softly.
"I haven't been back for a long time, and I still miss you a little... Xiaoxue, fortunately you are with me, otherwise I would be bored to death."
Xiaoxue stretched out and chose a comfortable position to lie on Cao Weidong's shoulder again.
Cao Weidong smiled.
This time, in order to compile a complete version of the Barefoot Doctor's Handbook, he traveled far and wide with experts. It took him three months to finally complete the compilation of the entire book before summer came.
Next is what experts from the Ministry of Health have to do.
Reviewing, checking, proofreading, distribution, promotion, etc.
Cao Weidong suddenly felt free.
He said goodbye to the experts from the Ministry of Health and took the bus back to Tongquan City.
Just after entering the city, the system virtual screen suddenly popped up, with lines of text appearing on it.
