Reborn as an educated youth, my love brain awakens

When Liu Yumei had nothing to do, she would take her daughter to the Ji family and do needlework with Ji Qinglan.

There was a kang in the house, and Ji Qinglan also placed a coal stove in the room. The two of them sat around the coal stove and didn't feel cold at all. Nini and Xincheng took off their coats and played on the bed, their little faces flushed.

While doing needlework and talking, Ji Qinglan asked her how she was feeling.

When Liu Yumei mentioned this, she became worried and said, "Don't mention it. I've been taking the medicine for almost a month, but I don't feel any difference."

In this matter, Ji Qinglan had no choice but to comfort her.

"Don't worry, it won't take a day or two to get better. I see you look good, so it must be effective."

"Really?" Liu Yumei asked uncertainly, touching her face.

Ji Qinglan nodded affirmatively: "Yes, his face has become rosy and he is more energetic. It must be the effect of this medicine."

"That's good, otherwise I would have spent so much money in vain."

"You don't know how nasty the words of those gossipy women in the village are." Liu Yumei glanced at Xin Cheng. Ji Qinglan already has a son, so she doesn't know the pain of not having a son.

Ji Qinglan didn't want to continue this topic. Her son had become Liu Yumei's concern, so she had to persuade her: "You can have a baby anyway, why are you in such a hurry? Just take care of your body and don't listen to the nonsense of those people in the village. They can't bear to see you doing well. The doctor said you should stay in a good mood and don't let your imagination run wild."

"I know, I just get tired of hearing it." Those people in the village were always gossiping, and this time she went to the capital's big hospital to buy some medicine, and when there was no news for a month, they started talking even more fiercely.

"Those people are jealous of you. Secretary Zhang, Aunt Niu and Zhang Jianguo are all nice to you, but they are just jealous." Ji Qinglan said disdainfully while knitting.

"They are all a bunch of ignorant chatterboxes. In my opinion, daughters are also treasures. If you raise them well, send them to school, and find them a good job, they are better than boys. For families like them, what's the point of having seven or eight boys? They don't take care of them after they are born, don't send them to school, and they can't read a single word. They are so poor that they can't even afford to eat. Do they have so many children just to inherit their family's poverty?"

Liu Yumei laughed at what she said and said, "My Nini is also my treasure. I will definitely send her to school in the future, find her a good job, and marry her to a city person. They will be so envious."

"That's right. In the future, when Nini brings your son-in-law back home with lots of bags, will they still say that having a daughter is useless?"

Seeing that Liu Yumei was in a better mood, Ji Qinglan started talking about Mr. Li.

"From what I heard from you, I think he must know medical skills. Look at the old people living in the cowshed. They are either professors or experts. He must have some skills too."

Liu Yumei was confused when she heard this. Why did Ji Qinglan bring up this topic again?

Ji Qinglan stared at her unhappily and said, "You are stupid! If Mr. Li really knows medical skills, can't you go to him? You have to go to the provincial capital for a follow-up check-up in three months, and it will cost a lot of money to get the medicine. If Mr. Li knows these, you can save money."

Liu Yumei frowned and shook her head, "I heard that he has a bad temper. Even if he knew how to treat me, he certainly wouldn't prescribe medicine for me. And even if he did, I wouldn't dare take it."

What if it was a drug that caused diarrhea or was fatal? Wouldn’t she die if she took it?

Ji Qinglan had no choice but to explain in a good temper: "You can take the prescription he wrote to the hospital and ask for help to see if it works. Besides, it won't hurt us or even the whole team if we can get him well."

"How to say?"

"Don't you know the medical skills of our team's blind uncle? He can't even cure a minor cold. If you get sick, you have to go to the town or the county. Tell me if it's troublesome or not!"

"Take the last time for example. I had a minor cold, but he treated me so badly that I couldn't get out of bed."

Liu Yumei was also frightened when she thought of Blind Chen's medical skills. Originally, Blind Chen was a veterinarian, and he was forced to take on the job because there was no doctor on the team.

However, it is of no use and cannot cure minor pains or illnesses.

"I think Mr. Li is a capable man. We might as well be nice to them and move him with our sincerity. After a while, if we need his help, he will at least help us."

"How can it be helped? My father-in-law has never made things difficult for them. He always did it for the captain," said Liu Yumei.

Her father-in-law was the brigade branch secretary, and was in charge of propaganda. Every time there was a task or he presided over a study session, he would go easy on those people. However, when it came to the team leader, he would always pull those people out and give them a beating.

"I know, but this is not enough. We must take the initiative to provide warmth, help secretly, and do what we can." Ji Qinglan said.

"It snowed heavily this year, and other brigades were affected. Some of the houses in our brigades are also unstable. If there are a few more heavy snowfalls, the houses will collapse, and the elderly and children in the village will suffer."

Liu Yumei was still confused. Why did Ji Qinglan talk about the dilapidated houses in the village instead of the cowshed?

Every winter in the village, some frail elderly people cannot survive the winter. There is nothing they can do about it as every family is poor.

"Now everyone is idle. Secretary Zhang can organize a group of young and strong people to help reinforce the houses and organize the aunts and sisters in the village to weave some straw mats to keep out the cold. By the way, also reinforce the cowshed."

"Originally, our team didn't even get the honor of being recognized as an advanced team because of Xiang Lanlan's incident. If we can get through this year peacefully, it will also be an achievement for Secretary Zhang." Ji Qinglan coaxed.

"As for the people who are doing the work, if we give them a few work points, they will definitely rush to do it."

When Liu Yumei heard this, she thought it made sense. Now that Captain Xiang's career was at a low point, it was the time for her father-in-law to rise.

Since this concerns her father-in-law's future, Liu Yumei was naturally very concerned and told Secretary Zhang about it when she returned.

The next day, the village took action. Secretary Zhang organized twenty young and strong men to go to the mountains to cut wood when the snow stopped. They reinforced the dilapidated houses in the village and gave each worker ten work points.

Twenty women were also asked to help weave straw mats, and each was paid five work points.

Many people are rushing to do these jobs.

All the houses in the village were reinforced, and the cowshed was renovated with the remaining wood. The broken wooden doors and walls were reinforced, and the places without windows were covered with straw curtains. It was just a casual thing, and no one thought there was anything wrong with it.

In the past, the cowshed had no doors or windows. It was a thatched shed supported by several pillars. The cows lived on one side and people lived on the other side. The cows and people were inseparable. Now, under Secretary Zhang’s plan, a wall was built in the middle, and it looks more decent.

Afterwards, Secretary Zhang listened to Liu Yumei's words and secretly asked his son to visit the elderly people in the cowshed, giving them some firewood, two bags of charcoal, some old clothes that were no longer worn at home, or some sweet potatoes...

Professor Han and others, who used to eat meat secretly every day, did not taste meat for several days because of Zhang Jianguo's elusive appearances.
