She was having a difficult labor at the time. Lying on the delivery bed in the health center, she felt like an animal with no dignity at all. It was so shameful.

Unless she gives birth to a child or has a difficult delivery, she really doesn't want to experience it a second time.

Let others stare at your private parts? Pull him down, she will definitely not go.

Xia Mingshuang told them that Dr. Lou and his wife were coming over, and then introduced Mrs. Lou, "I came from a big hospital in a big city. They are well-informed and have great medical skills. They can see what's wrong with you. They come to us." Production team, that is really a blessing for us. If you feel uncomfortable in any way, you must go and see it."

Although Dr. Lou specializes in orthopedics, in fact, doctors in this era are basically general practitioners. They can see men's, gynecology, pediatrics, surgery, internal medicine, etc. Prescribing medicines and injections are trivial.

Wang Lanxiang spoke quickly, "Sister-in-law, do you need money?"

Xia Mingshuang: "..."

This person always wants to take advantage of me. Why don't you give me some money for medical treatment?

She said: "You can give me food instead of money. I guess Dr. Lou is kind-hearted and won't care."

According to what Gu Yunshan had discussed with the production team, the old couple would live in Gujialing from now on, and they would not have to participate in farm work, earn work points, or participate in the distribution of food rations, so that they would not infringe on the interests of the commune members. The two of them are doctors and can treat the members, and the members can provide them with money or food.

Doctor Lou can spend money with the brigade to buy fixed rations.

Zhao Peihong was still a little hesitant, but Wang Lanxiang had already agreed loudly, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, we will definitely go and have a look."

The doctor hired by the eldest brother and sister-in-law will definitely give a discount to his family. Hey, if you don't take advantage of it, you won't take advantage of it.

Xia Mingshuang was in a hurry to go home and cook, "I don't have time to tend the vegetable garden. Plant whatever vegetables you want to eat. Just come and pick them."

During the peak vegetable season in summer, every vegetable is so abundant that it’s impossible to eat them all.

-

Around 06:30 in the evening, Gu Yunshan drove Dr. Lou, his wife, and Lou Yuhui over.

The jeep parked at the door of the new house. Although it was a newly built house, the front door had been neatly tidied up.

Because there was no one in front, the front door was relatively spacious and flat, and a few trees were planted at the door.

There is a plane tree on the left, a black locust on the right, and a Chinese locust tree.

The sycamore has large leaves and grows quickly, which can bring a large area of ​​shade. The branches can also be trimmed and used as firewood.

Black locust can bloom and its wood is stronger.

Sophora japonica can be harvested to make rice, which is good for making medicinal materials and pigments. It can also be harvested and sold to supply and marketing cooperatives.

These are trees that country people are willing to plant. They are affordable and useful.

Qian Wanyu is nearly fifty this year. Except for the past two years when her husband was sent to a labor camp and suffered a little hardship, she has been living comfortably in the past few decades. When she was a daughter in her parents' family, she was considered a lady. She went to a women's college and later interned in a missionary hospital. After marrying Lou Jianrui, she rarely did housework at home except working in the hospital. Lou Jianrui accepted the idea of ​​freedom and equality when he returned from studying abroad. Naturally, he never thought of asking his wife to do housework. Both husband and wife were busy with work, and the family always employed Nanny's.

Before coming to Gujialing, Qian Wanyu had already sketched the surrounding environment in her mind. It was probably not much better than the labor camp, or even worse.

At this time, troops were stationed in the reform-through-labor farms, leading people to cultivate the land and reclaim wasteland. Because the reform-through-labor farms were self-sufficient and did not need to pay taxes or public grain to the government, the food was more abundant than outside.

She and her husband were being targeted, so they had a hard time. Qian Wanyu found that other people who were not targeted were actually living well.

You can eat enough by working and you won't be hungry, unlike some production teams outside who work hard but don't have enough to eat.

She was very afraid that Gu Jialing would be like this.

Although Lou Jianjun and Zhong Shuxian talked very well, she was still worried. It was said that many university professors and veteran cadres were sent to the countryside and lived in other people's cowsheds, which made their life miserable.

She was uneasy and barely spoke along the way. Now when she got off the car and saw a brand new courtyard, she was stunned.

Qian Wanyu couldn't believe it and asked Lou Yuhui in a low voice: "Yuhui, this... we live here?"

Lou Yuhui smiled and said, "Yes, Uncle Gu and Aunt Xia discussed with the production team that we can be closer here so we can take care of each other."

Lou Jianrui also quickly introduced Xia Mingshuang to his wife.

When Qian Wanyu was still in the car, she saw Xia Mingshuang standing on the roadside. He was bright and intellectual, and he didn't want to be a countryman at first sight.

At this moment, she took the initiative to shake hands with Xia Mingshuang, "Comrade Mingshuang, I will trouble you in the future, so please take care of me."

Xia Mingshuang smiled and said, "Doctor Qian is too polite."

Based on their actual age, she had to call the couple uncle and aunt, but according to Lou Jianjun, she could just call them eldest brother and sister-in-law. However, she felt that it would be more comfortable for them to call them Dr. Lou and Dr. Qian.

Qian Wanyu was deeply moved when she saw that Xia Mingshuang was so easy-going and showed no contempt at all, nor did he look at them as a burden or impatient.

Xia Mingshuang: "I'll take you in to take a look. If there's any shortage, we'll buy it."

Gu Yunshan did not go in. He went to the production team to tell the cadres that the two doctors had arrived and asked them to come back and say hello. The main thing is to arrange work for the two of them and let the brigade promote it to the members. It is best to let them show up at the members' meeting later.

Da Zhuang and Miaomiao were all waiting here, and they all ran out to say hello to them.

Miaomiao led the little Zaizai, while the boys were sweating from their work.

Before Xia Mingshuang could introduce him, Erzhuang's little mouth had already finished introducing him to everyone.

Lou Jianrui and Qian Wanyu were extremely rare, "These children are really rare."

Xia Mingshuang: "They get along very well with Yuhui."

There were several children here, so Xia Ming didn't need to waste time. They took the lead and introduced everything clearly.

Qian Wanyu looked at the brand new courtyard. When she entered the door, there was a screen wall with the word "福" written on it on red paper. Although it was not written by a calligrapher, it is still powerful and has some skills.

Miaomiao: "I asked our principal to write this word "福".

Qian Wanyu and Lou Jianrui praised the writing.

Going around the screen wall, there is a south room on the left, which is used to store firewood and other sundries. In order to save bricks, the walls are made of stones and loess. The southwest corner is the toilet and chicken coop.

A sapling was planted between the south room and the toilet, but its appearance is still unclear.

Erzhuang: "Brother Yuhui said that the two old doctors definitely didn't have time to raise pigs, so we didn't build a pig pen, but it was necessary to raise chickens to lay eggs, so we built a chicken coop. By the way, that tree is a jujube tree , Peach, three apricots, four pears for five years, and the dates will be exchanged for money that year. Even though the tree is small, it will bear two dates in the fall."

Everyone laughed.

Qian Wanyu and the old man looked at each other, and their praise was beyond words. These children are really cute.

The yard is quite spacious, with two wing rooms on the west and a stone paved path in the middle. There are two small vegetable beds on the east. No trees were planted here for the purpose of lighting the vegetable beds.

There are three main rooms to the north and a small wing room to the east. They are all brick structures and have glass windows that country people can't bear to part with. They are spacious, bright, clean and tidy.

The floor in the house is not made of dirt, but cement!

Qian Wanyu quietly dragged Lou Jianrui, which cost a lot of money.

If their original home in the capital had even the best tile floors, not to mention cement floors, but that is all in the past. Nowadays, most people do not have this condition, especially in the countryside where there are very few brick houses. , almost all are adobe and wheat straw houses.

But they built brick houses for them, as well as gravel roads and cement floors. They are really particular about people.

Qian Wanyu and Lou Jianrui felt warm in their hearts. They both said that it is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to provide help when the time is right.

This kindness will be remembered in their hearts for the rest of their lives.
