Scholars in the courtyard

Chapter 854 The Barefoot Doctor
Northwest, Farm.

Yang Xiaotao didn't know that the two people hundreds of miles away were plotting against him, and he didn't know that the seat belt, which was not accepted before, had suddenly become the existence that various factories were vying to inquire about.

At this time, he was in the field, still supervising the planting of corn.

Originally, according to calculations, the seeds set aside in the warehouse should be able to satisfy the arable land of ten farms, but in actual operation, Yang Xiaotao found that after planting this time, there is still a surplus in the warehouse.

Especially the female parent, there are a lot more than planned. Originally, the production ratio was three to one, but in order to increase the production, Yang Xiaotao directly changed it to four to one.

So much so that technicians were called overnight and the production plan was revised again.

Only in this way can the seeds in the warehouse be fully utilized.

However, as the number of seeds increases, the land also increases, so more manpower is required.

The tractors are non-stop [-] hours a day, and everyone on the farm is using them, so there is still a shortage of manpower, so we can only find people from other places to help.

On the edge of the farm, Yang Xiaotao walked alone, stopping to observe the situation from time to time.

As for Mazi and Wang Hao beside him, he sent them down to help with work.

At the moment, Yang Xiaotao assigned several 'apprentices' in the maintenance station to various farms, calling it field study.

Before they left, Yang Xiaotao told them, "Boldly tear it down, boldly do it, if you can't solve it, come to me again." '

The few people were taken care of by the 'master', and they immediately felt high, and rushed to various places with passion.

In fact, this is Yang Xiaotao's confidence in them. Repairing cars is the most daunting thing, and they have no way to start.

These days, they have already touched the threshold of the structure of the tractor by their side, what they lack is the repair experience.

As long as you dare to learn and do it boldly, you can take an important step.

Walking on the dirt, the sun above the head is scorching hot. It is only May here, but it is hotter than June in Sijiu City.

However, it is this kind of sufficient sunshine that makes the corn here grow vigorously and the harvest can be guaranteed.

"Such a sunny day, you should grow watermelons."

Thinking of watermelons, Yang Xiaotao looked around, "It seems that watermelons now have a bit high requirements for land and temperature difference."

However, thinking about the past two days, among the monthly fruits given by the system in May, [-] catties of watermelons were directly given. Yang Xiaotao wanted to try it then, but the time was short.

In the end, I decided to take the watermelon back for my family to try.

In any case, it is not easy to eat watermelon in this era.

Not only is there less planting, but there are also non-staple food tickets, which not every family can afford, and if a family can eat one, it is a wealthy family.

Ordinary rural people simply cannot afford it.

"It's easy to grow watermelons, but it's not easy to raise seedlings."

Yang Xiaotao stepped on the land with his head down. Watermelons are very intolerant to alkalinity, and the land where watermelons have been planted cannot be planted within three to five years, otherwise the production will be severely reduced and the soil will be depleted.

The best crop in rotation is corn.

Yang Xiaotao wondered in his heart whether he should start watermelon cultivation here.

For others, the most important job of breeding is for him, with Xiaowei around, everything is not difficult.

The more he thought about it, the more he got excited, Yang Xiaotao planned to go back and ask Ma Sanxing to find some watermelon seeds, and plant them quickly while the weather was right.

At that time, next time I come to direct the emasculation, maybe I can eat it.

The mentality is good, and the pace has accelerated.

"Ms. Yang, Mr. Yang."

Tata~~
The sound of hoofbeats fell, and the sound followed.

"Mazi, what's the matter?"

Yang Xiaotao said calmly, he has encountered many things these days, and he has already practiced to be calm.

"Teacher Yang, it's not good, someone died."

Yang Xiaotao, who was originally calm, suddenly turned pale, "Why, what's going on!"

"Go and have a look!"

As Mazi said, he turned the horse's head, Yang Xiaotao jumped up from behind, and the horse galloped with the two of them leaving a trail of smoke and dust.

Five minutes later, the two came under a canopy where seven or eight people gathered.

Yang Xiaotao jumped off his horse, walked through the crowd, and looked at the middle-aged man lying on the ground.

He is very thin, like most middle-aged men in this era, with dark arms, sallow face, gray-black hair, closed eyes, unconscious.

Several people around sat or stood aside, looking sad.

"Save people!"

"What are you doing in a daze!"

Yang Xiaotao went over, leaned on the man's chest behind him, and shouted to the people around him while his heart was still beating weakly.

"Teacher Yang, I've already gone to look for it, and I'll be here soon."

Ma Sanxing on the side spoke, and Yang Xiaotao looked at him again, "Old Ma, what's going on, what happened!"

Ma Sanxing stood aside with the same anxious expression.

"Teacher Yang, it's like this."

Then Ma Sanxing told what he knew.

Because of the increase in work, some people are needed to help, so some people are transferred from other farms.

Yang Xiaotao took into account the labor intensity of the farmers on the farm, and made a report to his superiors. Adults who work every day can receive two steamed buns of Erhe noodles, which counts as one steamed bun for half-working children.

A two-two, sturdy steamed bun.

This kind of reward makes the farmers on the farm very motivated, and they definitely work hard.

Similarly, those who come to help also enjoy this kind of treatment.

The person lying on the ground is called Zhou Laosan by everyone, probably because he is the third eldest in the family.

But those who are familiar with him have never seen the eldest and the second.

Zhou Laosan is a farm resident ten miles away. There is a daughter-in-law and three daughters at home. A son was born a few days ago, and his wife is confinement at home.

Life on the farm is difficult, the family has a large population and eats a lot.

On weekdays, when the sweet potatoes are divided, he gives them to the children first, and eats the remaining sweet potatoes with the soil on them.

This time his daughter-in-law gave birth to a son, Zhou Laosan was grateful and wanted to earn some food for his daughter-in-law so that she could confine her to better health.

So when he heard that two liang of steamed buns were given here a day, Zhou Laosan found the factory on the farm, and finally joined the team.

He knew that he was able to come because he was taken care of by the organization, so he worked very hard when he was working, and he worked when others were resting.

When others were working and eating, he would put away the two steamed buns, drink a stomach full of water, and continue working in the afternoon.

Two days ago, when he returned home with steamed buns, the three sensible daughters cried like tears when they saw the steamed buns, and his wife wiped her tears with her newborn son in her arms.

On that day, their home was like Chinese New Year.

Regardless of confinement, the wife got up from the kang and cooked a pot of sweet potato soup. The whole family soaked the soup and ate steamed buns.

From then on, he didn't take a bite of the steamed buns distributed by the farm, and drank water when he was hungry. If he couldn't take it anymore, he picked two handfuls of leaves and stuffed them into his mouth, and ate them with water.

I was working on geography again today, but I stumbled and fell unconscious.

Ma Sanxing spoke heavily, while the fellow farmer in front of Zhou Laosan lowered his head with a sad face.

"The youngest is honest and sincere, and he knows how to repay his kindness. At that time, there were six brothers in his family, and several other brothers starved to death. He also gave a piece of pancake when the troops passed by, and he persisted until now."

"He often said that no matter how many people are in the family, they have to support them, so that they can be worthy of the five brothers and sisters who died, and let them have offspring."

"Third brother, you fool, why did you just..."

As the man said, tears were in the eyes of the people around him, Yang Xiaotao closed his eyes silently, and when he opened them again, two streams of tears had already flowed down.

"Let let!"

There was a sound from outside, the crowd parted, and the first person parted the crowd to reveal the people behind.

This man was plainly dressed, thin, with a gray beard on his long face and protruding eyes. His gaze was fixed on Zhou Laosan who was lying on the ground as soon as he came.

"Brother Shan, this is the only person, take a look."

Ma Sanxing looked at the people who came and hurriedly greeted them, and asked them to get out of the way.

At the side, Mazi introduced softly, this man is called Shan Daren, and he used to be a doctor.

But I don't have a formal doctor's certificate, so I can't go to a big hospital. I just work on the farm and come out to see a doctor when I have something to do.

Yang Xiaotao knew that this person was the doctor in this area.

Of course, there is a more resounding title, 'Barefoot Doctor'.

Ordinary people will go to them first if they have a headache at home, and if it can't be solved, they will go to a big hospital to find a doctor.

It's not that their medical skills are not as good as those of the doctors in the hospital, but that they need to go to the hospital for help with the problems they can't solve.

So compared to those in those big hospitals, people here believe more in these 'doctors' who belong to the same level.

"Don't worry, I'll take a look."

Shan Daren stroked his beard, stepped forward to touch his chest carefully, pressed Zhou Laosan's belly with his hands, and finally lifted Zhou Laosan's eyelids to take a closer look.

The people around did not dare to make a sound, they all waited.

Yang Xiaotao didn't know what to do, but according to his previous life, he should hang a hanging bottle first.

Anyway, in his impression, if you need an injection when you go to the hospital to see a doctor, is it two glucose?

He doesn't have glucose, but he still has sugar.

Yang Xiaotao was hesitant to take it out, but considering the situation, he still wanted to see it first and listen to what the doctor had to say.

"Find a bowl, find some salt, and get some warm water."

Shan Daren pressed Zhou Laosan's stomach for a while, and then said to the people beside him.

After hearing this, Ma Sanxing immediately sent someone to look for him.

Yang Xiaotao was still puzzled, but someone had already run over with a bowl and a salt shaker.

Shan Daren took the black big sea bowl, and then squeezed it in the salt shaker with his hands. Put a pinch of salt in the bowl, spread it evenly with his fingers, and finally squeezed another pinch until the bottom of the bowl was covered with a layer of snow-white salt. , which makes people pour water.

After a while, the black sea bowl was filled with water.

"Pick him up and open your mouth."

Several people stepped forward to help, Yang Xiaotao thought about going there, but Ma Sanxing pulled him aside.

In Ma Sanxing's psychology, it is unlucky to meet such a person.

Those people on the farm are fine. Yang Xiaotao is an outsider, so it's better not to move.

Yang Xiaotao didn't think about it so much, and watched Zhou Laosan being lifted up, dragging his arms on the ground, and lifting his head up alone.

"Open your mouth."

After hearing this, Mazi squeezed his chin with his upper hand and pulled it down.

Shan Daren brought the water in the bowl to his mouth and slowly poured it into his mouth.

The salt water flowed slowly at first, but Shan Daren's hand was steady, and a little bit of salt water was poured into Zhou Laosan's stomach.

Knowing that half of the salt water has come down, none of it flows out, and all of it enters.

Yang Xiaotao has keenly noticed that Zhou Laosan has become conscious and is swallowing slowly.

And this kind of action made Shan Daren heave a sigh of relief, shaking the hand holding the bowl and spilling a little water.

But it's irrelevant.

After drinking all the bowl of salt water, the half-lying Zhou Laosan unexpectedly regained consciousness, his eyes slowly opened, he just wanted to say something, but couldn't.

Shan Daren patted Zhou Laosan on the back again, and then wrote it down on the back of the spine, and then let Zhou Laosan lie down.

"Okay, let him eat some millet porridge and rest for an afternoon. When it gets dark, his body will recover."

Shan Daren stood up and spoke, and the people around him all looked at him with admiration.

Yang Xiaotao clapped his hands even more, admiring him even more.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he couldn't believe it. Without any medicine or other equipment, just a pair of eyes, a pair of hands, and a bowl of salt water saved a life.

Amazing salt water, amazing barefoot doctor.
