Chapter 490 Prohibition of "child care"

The general education level of the group of midwives is not high, and their profession relies solely on experience and inheritance.

There is a midwife named Miao who lives outside Taiyuan City. Her family was originally considered a rich farmer, but a "garden farmer" who specialized in growing vegetables. However, a few years ago, her eldest son fell ill and the family became poor.

As for whether to treat the disease, five acres of the eight acres of vegetable land were sold, leaving only three acres. It turned out that the people were very hopeless.

If she hadn't been a midwife, she could help deliver babies and earn some money. There were so many people in the family who didn't know how to make ends meet.

When they came to the School of Gynecology, Jiang Zizheng gave them a booklet, which was as thick as a thumb. The imperial physician said in a very arrogant manner that it had already simplified his appearance. Please try your best to read it in three words.

Read it thoroughly in one month, and after three months there will be two open-book exams and a practical exam. Even if you can't memorize it, if you encounter a problem, you can immediately know where to look in the book, which is great.

During those three months, the palace will provide each midwife with a stipend of one or two grains of silver per month.

Three months later, for those who pass the open-book exam, the gynecological hospital will issue a temporary qualification certificate to everyone and continue to receive stipends. For those who pass the open-book exam, the stipend will be gone and they will not be allowed to continue working in that profession.

With that temporary qualification certificate, in very urgent situations, you can go to people's homes to deliver babies, but you must send someone to the hospital to notify them, ask a medical officer to be present, or send the person to the hospital to complete the delivery task independently.

The temporary qualification certificate is valid for two years. After two years, they must pass the school's closed-book examination before they can obtain the formal qualification certificate. At that time, they will be allowed to deliver babies independently.

Midwife Miao was dumbfounded!

She doesn't even know the words and can't hold a pen. How could Keke pass the Nalaoshizi exam two years ago?

But the midwife's income is good, otherwise she would not be a midwife. There are seven people in the family, and the family only has three acres of vegetable fields, which is impossible to support!

She can't give up!

Even if she could learn to read from scratch, she still wanted to get that "enthalpy certificate" in her lap!

At that time, she thought of Zhaoyue Primary School where Yaoer studied!

She was thinking, please go to Zhaoyue Elementary School to learn literacy first?

Is there an adult literacy class in Zhaoyue Elementary School? Every morning, from the beginning of the morning to the end of the morning, one hour, without delaying everyone's work. And the medical school's class time starts at noon, so she can go there early in the morning.

In the literacy class, there was half an hour's gap after finishing the literacy class, which was enough for her to walk from Zhaoyue Elementary School to Chongshan Temple.

"Old lady, will it be too hard for me?" Her husband asked worriedly, "Please don't go to the city to find another job. Otherwise, I will go to the mines to work. I'm already so old.

Just bury him if he is buried. I heard that if he is buried, the palace will also pay a pension, which is quite a lot, thirty taels of silver!"

After the palace took over the coal mine, the miners' wages improved, and they earned more wages than other jobs. If there was an accident, they would receive a pension. But I was afraid of an accident. No matter what, it was not a "life-saving job."

of livelihood.

Mrs. Miao waved her legs: "No need, I will just take care of the three acres of vegetable fields at home."

Her husband was unwilling to give in: "How much money can you make growing vegetables? The third eldest son of the He family next door went to the mine three years ago. He learned how to read in the literacy class of the mine, and was later selected to join the firearms camp as a soldier.

Commander, he was promoted to a senior officer in half a year. I heard that he went with the emperor to fight the Tatars. If he had not done meritorious service, he would probably be promoted. It was said that the prince liked to select people from the mines to go to the firearms camp. After entering the firearms camp,

Hey! Not to mention how beautiful it is, you only get a small amount of meat every three days, and a large amount of meat every five days. Just the food alone is enviable."

"Come on! At that age, it's like a red moon to dream!"

Mrs. Miao's husband also knew that at that age, it was unlikely that he would be selected to go to the firearms camp. He was having a sweet dream and was having a good time. He was pushed rudely by Mrs. Miao and smacked his lips.

Fell asleep.

The next month, Mrs. Miao got up early. Mingyue began to attend the literacy class at Zhaoyue Elementary School.

When Mrs. Miao went there for the first time, she was a little timid and even a little awkward. She was almost forty and had grandchildren. She felt a little ashamed to come to the school to study.

As Bu Nao was walking on the way to school, he saw many people carrying the same style of light blue cross-body bags hurriedly walking in the same direction. There were men and women, old and young, all kinds of people, and there were even a few who looked like

She is much older than she is, and her mood relaxes as soon as she is calm.

When we arrived at the school gate, there were two very good-looking women standing at the gate smiling and greeting everyone.

Everyone called them sir by mistake and treated them with great respect.

"Good morning, Mr. Lin!" A tall, muscular man greeted the beautiful woman at the door.

"Good morning! I haven't seen you for two days!" the woman said.

The man touched his head in embarrassment and said, "There is something going on at home! Something is happening! Sir, don't blame me!"

The female gentleman didn't care, she snorted and said hello to another student.

Mrs. Miao stood at the door in surprise for a long time and looked at it. After all, she was not afraid, so she did not dare to go forward.

Suddenly, someone seemed to recognize her and said hello from afar: "Hey! Miao Midwife, I'm here too?"

"I..."

At that time, "Mr. Lin" finally noticed her. While sizing her up, he walked forward and asked, "Madam, can you come back for the first time?"

"Hey! I... this is my first time here." Mrs. Miao was a little nervous when she saw the overly beautiful young woman in front of her. She felt that the gentleman was denying the daughter of a certain family, and she became cautious all over.

He was afraid that if he touched the woman in front of him, his clothes would be dirty.

Unexpectedly, the woman's eyes immediately lit up, she smiled softly, pulled her legs and said: "That's a good feeling! Madam, you are at that age, and you are very willing to come. Have you really set a good example for your children and grandchildren! I will come with him

.He brought me a school bag. I had a lot of fun with cornmeal buns in the first month!"

"It's very steamed buns!" Mrs. Miao said in surprise.

The woman called Mr. Lin led Mrs. Miao to the school gate. Outside a temporary cabin, there was another good-looking young girl walking there holding a pen. There were four or five people beside her.

The large wooden tube was filled with large and fragrant steamed buns. At first glance, it was obvious that they were made of cornmeal mixed with red flour. They were very soft and attractive.

Mr. Lin patted Mrs. Miao on the shoulder and left.

Mrs. Miao Nadong became cautious again, but the young girl walking took the initiative and said: "Madam, what is your name and where do you live?"

"The old woman's original surname was Fang, but now she took her husband's surname from Miao. Everyone calls me Miao Midwife."

"Midwife?!"

"No... that's no... what about seeking examinations or certificates? I can't read, so the medical books were sent to the East. I don't know a few characters, so I can just look at a picture. I just wanted to come here and learn some characters." Midwife Miao said.

Said in embarrassment.

The little girl laughed and gave a thumbs up: "Then you really look down on me!" She took out a blue crossbody bag from the side, picked up a strange-shaped seal, and tapped it on the bag, and the bag immediately appeared.

A row of eye-catching black numbers, Miao midwife recognized, this is today's menstrual period.

The little girl handed the crossbody bag to Mrs. Miao and said, "Everyone has that schoolbag. I've got it. Starting tomorrow, you can come and get a steamed bun thirty days away."

Midwife Miao weighed it and found that there were things in the bag, including a small empty red book, two charcoal pens, and a small booklet with writing on the front.

"Not asking for money?" Midwife Miao was surprised.

The little girl nodded: "Don't ask for money, don't ask for money, don't ask for money! He has said it three times, don't ask again! One month later, just ask for passing the monthly exam, and the teacher will give me another stamp."

, I can get another thirty days of steamed buns.”

She said that, and sure enough, someone came in holding his own bag and said: "Mr. Xiaohong, let him get a steamed bun!" The female gentleman who called Xiaohong didn't even look up and let the man take it.

The buns left in a hurry.

Midwife Miao looked at that scene with surprise, but Mr. Xiaohong in front of her took out a booklet, opened the first page, and asked: "How many of the words at the top can you recognize and remember?"

Midwife Miao took a look and remembered a few of them very clearly: "I know, I know, those are one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Those are fields, those are mountains...

If you don’t recognize it, then it’s metal, wood, water, fire, or earth.”

Mr. Xiaohong smiled and said, "Ms. Miao is amazing! I almost recognize the first page!"

After being praised by Mr. Xiaohong, Mrs. Miao's confidence suddenly increased and she said sheepishly: "His youngest son has been studying for two years. I watched him study at home every week, so I recognized him by the way."

Mr. Xiaohong nodded and affirmed: "Not bad, not bad! Let me look at the second page and recognize a few words."

Turning to the second page, Mrs. Miao already knew four or five words. Seeing her embarrassment, Xiao Hong quickly comforted her and said: "No need to be tight, no need to be tight! I already know a lot of words. I'll go directly to it later."

Just shift two will be fine.”

At that time, three more people held up the schoolbags in their legs, showed the seals on their heads to Mr. Xiaohong, then took the steamed buns and hurried out.

Xiao Hong stopped them and said, "Let's wait! There is a new classmate there. Let's take her to the second class classroom!" After that, she stuffed a steamed bun into the midwife's legs and said, "Go quickly.

Don't be nervous. You gentlemen are all very nice people."

The Miao midwife just started the second day of literacy class.

In the first half an hour, the teacher taught him twelve words. Midwife Miao found it very difficult. She did not expect that the teacher taught him so quickly. She could remember at most eight of the twelve words, but she could only write three.

Not bad.

However, none of the classmates in Bu Nao looked relaxed. Some of them were holding cornmeal buns in their legs, and they were reviewing the words that the teacher had just taught them with serious faces. The remaining few started chatting as soon as they took a break.

Two women, about the same age as the Miao midwives, even took out woolen yarn and wooden knitting needles from their bags to start knitting!

They talked to the Miao midwife: "Hey, I'm new here! You've never seen me before. Where do you live?"

…

After some conversation, Midwife Miao found out that the two mothers-in-law were actually knitting teachers hired by the school to teach children knitting skills. They complained that they could not read and were forced to attend a literacy class by the principal.
