The day Lin Qian made the braised pork taste almost the same as that of Master Li, Gao Xiaoan also finished the exam.

The Barefoot Doctor exam consists of a written test on the first day, plus a practical test on the second day. The latter part is scored by doctors and nurses together.

After the exam, they knew their scores on the spot. Gao Xiaoan and Chi Yuyuan both passed successfully. From now on, they will be official barefoot doctors.

"Thank you, Sister Xiao'an. If you hadn't lent me your notes and taken me with you to memorize and review them, I definitely wouldn't have been able to do it by myself! Only six people passed this time. I must go up the mountain to tell my ancestors the good news when I go back!"

Chi Yuyuan was very excited when she returned to the guest house. After she finished speaking, she took Lin Qian's hand and said, "Qian Qian, thank you for preparing a supper for me every day and not dissing me for eating and drinking all this month." .”

"You're welcome, you don't eat much!" Lin Qian was also very happy for them.

The next day, Secretary Wang and Captain Zhang came to the county in a bullock cart to take them back to Heilingtun. After knowing that Gao Xiaoan passed the exam, Secretary Wang repeatedly said yes.

When going back, Lin Qian and Gao Xiaoan each carried two large bags behind them, containing books and milk powder.

Gao Xiaoan was a little suspicious of the origin of these things, but Lin Qian still made excuses to fool him.

Secretary Wang and Captain Zhang each carried a package behind them. They were so happy that it didn't feel heavy at all. One of them was a document approved by the superiors about the opening of the Heilingtun Clinic, and the other was to support the Heilingtun Clinic. Medicine!

It's spring now, and although the temperature is still a little low, the snow is slowly melting, and the tractor will send a batch of medicine later.

At that time, the infirmary in Heilingtun can be officially put into operation. From now on, people in the village will no longer have to travel far to see a doctor.

It was already nightfall when they returned to Heilingtun, and Secretary Wang took them directly to Uncle Wang's house for dinner.

Aunt Dani affectionately stepped forward and took Gao Xiaoan's hand, telling her that she had lost a lot of weight!

Lin Qian also felt that Gao Xiaoan looked a little haggard. Eating late night snacks every day did not make her gain weight, and she also had dark circles under her eyes.

After eating, they slept directly on the kang that Aunt Dani had packed, and would go back to clean up the house tomorrow.

The next day, when Gao Xiaoan and Lin Qian had just cleaned the house, Captain Zhang and Aunt Dani came together.

The two came here to discuss their future work and work points.

Lin Qian and Gao Xiaoan are currently in Aunt Dani's team, but they also know that they are definitely the ones lagging behind in the team.

Captain Zhang first introduced that barefoot doctors are paid, and the county pays them five yuan a month.

Although it is less than the number of worker comrades, it is already considerable in the countryside. After all, villagers will have to pay for medical treatment and medicine in the future.

The barefoot doctors in other villages are half doctors and half farmers. They treat patients when they have them. If there are no patients, they close the door of the infirmary and go farming with a hoe.

Lin Qian refused directly, "My mother has never done any work at home with her hands before. Auntie, you know that my skills on the stove are better than my mother's. Because she wants to apply acupuncture, and her hands are not stable, so the acupuncture points are not accurate. .”

"From now on, I can just farm in our family!" This should be feasible. Lin Qian had asked Osmanthus before, and the land that the village collective wanted to cultivate was basically the same as the young ones.

Gao Xiaoan stopped Lin Qian who was about to continue, "Captain Zhang, I can be like other barefoot doctors, half doctor and half farmer. Qianqian has been in poor health since she was a child. Can you arrange a simple job for her?"

Aunt Dani was anxious, "But if you don't work more, you won't get any work points. What will you eat then?"

At this time, Captain Zhang spoke: "After you came back, I discussed it with the secretary. It seems that you mother and daughter are not capable of working. If someone in the village sees a doctor and is not paid, how about one work point at a time?"

"Okay!" Gao Xiao'an agreed without hesitation.

Captain Zhang then said to Lin Qian: "Comrade Lin Qian, just arrange some simple tasks, such as weeding and so on. There will be about five work points in one day, okay?"

"Well, can I apply to go hogweed hunting?"

Captain Zhang and Aunt Dani were both silent. Fighting pigweed was something only children did in Heilingtun. Five baskets of compacted pigweed a day only cost two work points.

Lin Qian also felt a little embarrassed by what she said, and added, "When Maomao grows up in a few years, he will do the pig weeding, and I will work in the fields."

Captain Zhang sighed, "Okay, it just so happens that the secretary discussed with me before. The team had extra money last year. If we raise a few more mission pigs this year, we can keep a few more in the team."

"But there are many tasks during the autumn harvest, and you all have to participate in labor."

After Captain Zhang said this, the matter was settled.

That night, Lin Qian carried a bag of white-flour steamed buns, ten kilograms of rice, a can of milk powder, a few kilograms of ugly apples and a box of braised pork she had made, and quietly went to the cowshed to see her grandparents.

After seeing that the two of them were in good spirits, she briefly told how Gao Xiaoan worked hard during this period and finally succeeded in becoming a barefoot doctor.

Finally, I told them the great news that I can bring Maomao over to see them during the day! "I took Mao Mao to kill hogweed, and then I put the things in my pockets and sent them over."

Ye Shihua was a little worried: "Remember to make a good deal with Maomao and ask him not to spill the beans."

"I know, I'm already strengthening my education." At least make sure that there won't be a failure in expression management like last time, and the secret will be exposed all of a sudden.

In early April, after Secretary Wang organized a mobilization meeting with a familiar loudspeaker, Heilingtun officially began this year's farming.

Field work in this era did not rely on machinery like modern times. It mainly relied on human and animal power for farming.

Farmers need to plow the fields manually before sowing. Although there are cattle in Heilingtun, those few are already overloaded.

Every morning at seven o'clock, there will be several old people in the village ringing big bells to remind the villagers that it is time to go to work.

Hoes and shovels for going to the fields are all taken by the team leader from the brigade warehouse. Every evening, the scorekeeper will record the team members' work points for the day. If they feel that the work points are wrong, they can go directly to Captain Zhang for comment.

Gao Xiaoan has been busy with the infirmary recently. She has to record the medicines in a notebook, label them and put them in the medicine cabinet. Lin Qian will come to help after taking Maomao to kill pigweed every day.

The county has sent a batch of medicines, which are supported by the county commune. From now on, we will go to the hospital's medicine warehouse to buy them in the name of the Heilingtun Brigade.

So now people in the village don't have to pay for medical treatment, and Gao Xiao'an will be credited with work points. But you have to pay for the medicine or intravenous injection yourself. After all, the medicine and intravenous bottles are paid for by the brigade.

But after all, it’s much cheaper than the county hospital, and it’s right at the doorstep, so close! Mrs. Gao Da is not like the doctors in the county who always give consultations with a blank face.

More than ten days later, what Secretary Wang and Captain Zhang saw was a brand new infirmary with neatly written medical records.

After leaving the house, Secretary Wang said to Captain Zhang with some pride: "I took the right step, right? The chairman said we should unite all the forces that can be united! Someone even said before that I was confused, huh!"

Captain Zhang also felt that this infirmary was really good to open, and families with old people and children felt much more at ease. He quickly praised: "Brother, how can people like these uneducated people understand your foresight."
