Chapter 91 The Difficult Cow
In the early morning, the sun rose slowly amid the rooster's urging, and the first ray of sunlight shone into the room through the small window.
With the chirping of cicadas, everyone started a new day.
The tiles of the house were finished yesterday, and today we started laying the floor and building the pig pen.
The cement and sand for the floor are all ready, and you only need to lay a thin layer. This way you no longer have to worry about mice digging holes, and it is also clean and easy to sweep.
The pigsty must be built. The previous pigsty was too small, and it was shabby and dilapidated by the pigs. Liu Jiefang repaired it many times, and several times the pigs ran out, and several people forced them to drive them back.
.
This time Liu Chen plans to build a bigger and higher building, and the floor inside the pigsty will be made of cement so that the pigs cannot arch.
The chicken pens are also covered with bricks. Anyway, there are still a lot of bricks, and even the pig pens and chicken pens may not be used up.
At this time, all the workers came, including Captain Liu, Liu Fugui and several other masons. They were able to mix ash and cement. Those who moved bricks moved bricks, and those who mixed ash and ash.
The division of labor is clear.
The sisters and Wang Mudan still cook, and the steamed buns need to be steamed more. Last night, they steamed four large pots and ate them all.
The children carried bamboo baskets to collect stones and exchange them for candy.
He doesn’t know how to do technical work, but Liu Chen, a young worker, can still do it. He is handing bricks to the man who is building the pig pen.
At this time, Liu Changjin, a member of the commune, ran over in a hurry, with sweat on his head and face, barefoot and shirtless.
"Uncle Changjin, what's wrong with you? What happened?"
Liu Chen looked at the anxious Liu Changjin and asked quickly.
Liu Changjin looked worried when he saw Captain Liu. He lowered his head and did not dare to look into Captain Liu's eyes.
"Come on, what's going on? Did something happen to the cow?"
Liu Changjin is the breeder who raises the common wealth of the team. He is in charge of the pigs, cattle, sheep, mules and donkeys.
There is a room next to the breeding room specifically for the breeders to rest at night. Some old sows and cows are also given extra meals and nutrition in the middle of the night.
These domestic animals are the wealth of the whole team, so we can't be careless. Now, the spring plowing and autumn harvest, and the transportation and pulling of carts all rely on these animals. They are treated as treasures, so we can't be careless.
Liu Changjin lowered his head and did not dare to speak, but nodded.
Yesterday, he filled a big bowl of pork offal soup and took the steamed buns and went back to the cow pen to look at the cow. However, he was drunk and failed to take good care of the cow. The cow had difficulty giving birth. He came to report it now. Now
The cow is dying, and I'm afraid the calf in her belly will die as well.
He was really scared that he was about to lose two cows at once.
Everyone knew that the cow was having a difficult birth, so they all ran to the breeding room worriedly.
What is most important now is rescuing the cow.
"Why are you still standing there? Aren't you a doctor? Go quickly."
Gu Wanjun looked at Liu Chen still standing there stupidly and hit him with her elbow.
I am an obstetrician and gynecologist, and I deliver babies, but this is...
We can’t control so much anymore, it’s important to protect members’ property.
Liu Chen ran to Huzi's house and brought the things he had brought for delivery in 2022, including scalpels, disinfectant, forceps, gauze, etc.
Although these are prepared for people, if you can come in handy, go as soon as possible.
Captain Liu and the others had already run to the breeding room, and saw the buffalo lying on the ground, depressed, moaning and groaning from time to time, and with a wide belly.
The amniotic water had broken long ago, and the calf's forelimbs were bent in the pelvic cavity. It was still unable to be born, so it required assisted delivery.
Everyone looked at the painful cow but were helpless. This was the first time we encountered such a situation. This was a five-year-old female buffalo. It would be a pity if both the mother and her son died. This is the wealth of the whole team.
Everyone saw Liu Chen's arrival. Liu Chen saved Er Niu's wives last time. He must have two brushes. He should be able to save this Niu now.
Everyone looked at Liu Chen, and Liu Chen also looked confused. You are all looking at me like this. I am under a lot of pressure. This is awesome. It is related to the wealth of the whole team. What if I can't save my life?
, then his sin will be serious. The key is that Liu Chen doesn’t have much confidence.
"A Chen, come and try."
Captain Liu directly pulled Liu Chen, who was retreating, to the front.
We are all laymen, who has ever encountered such a situation? Something can't happen to this cow. Originally, the Liutang production team didn't have many animals, so we were counting on them.
"Yes, you saved Erniu's daughter-in-law from failing last time, so you can definitely do it."
Liu Chen was chased by a few people and put on the shelf. There is no way. If I don’t go to hell, who will go to hell? Come on, men can’t say no.
Liu Chen asked several people to forcefully drive the cattle up and stand against the wall.
The cow was driven several times before she slowly stood up.
Liu Chen found another wooden stick about 5 centimeters long. He used the wooden stick on the side of the cow that was not against the wall, and set it up high in the front and low in the back, blocking the cow's body and fixing it.
Liu Chen then used disinfectant to disinfect his hands, and then used his hands to go deep into the cow's pelvic cavity. When he pushed the calf back to a suitable position, he found cloth ropes and tied them to the fetlocks of the two forelimbs. Liu Chen asked Liu Chen to
The captain held the calf's limbs with cloth ropes.
At this time, Liu Chen reached into the birth canal with his hand, touched the calf's head and pressed it down slightly, and pushed and pulled it out with his other hand in conjunction with the cow's efforts.
Everyone was stunned. Liu Fugui directly took a black towel and wiped the sweat on Liu Chen's head. The rancid smell of the towel was mixed with the smell of sweat. The taste was so sour and refreshing. Liu Chen almost
Didn't vomit.
Slowly the calf's head came out. When everyone saw the calf's head, they all shouted happily, "It's out, the calf's head is out."
Liu Chen shook his head and shouted "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh", in order to let everyone stop making noise and be careful not to scare the cow.
Liu Chen then put a cloth rope around the calf's head, crossed it under the cow's neck, and tightened it slightly, which meant that it would not tighten or let it fall off, so as to better protect the calf.
Liu Chen once again pulled the cloth rope on the calf's head and asked Captain Liu to cooperate, pushing and pulling it out in a coordinated manner.
This time the calf's waist was exposed. Liu Chen took off the cloth rope and asked Liu Fugui to help hug the calf with both hands. Liu Chen held the calf's body flat and slowly pulled it out. Liu Chen pulled it very hard.
It's light and I don't dare to use too much force for fear of hurting the calf.
"Come out, come out."
Everyone's faces showed a look of joy, and no one dared to speak too loudly.
At this time, Liu Chen dragged out all the calves and asked Captain Liu and others to clean up all the dirt on the calves.
The calf's eyes opened, and everyone danced happily, "Liu Chen is so awesome, he finally got the calf out."
The happiest person was Liu Changjin. He was so frightened that he sat down on the ground and couldn't stand up. In fact, he didn't know that it was normal for the cow to have dystocia and it had nothing to do with him falling asleep after drinking.
Liu Chen took out the afterbirth from the cow's uterus, cleared the afterbirth fragments and blood congestion in the uterus, and used disinfectant to clean the inside and outside of the cow's uterus, using gauze strips brought from 2022 to absorb enough disinfectant.
, then gently wipe the inside and outside of the cow's uterus, wash it clean, and then sprinkle antibiotic powder into it to prevent the cow from infection.
After the cow gave birth, Liu Chen patted it, and it fell down and lay down obediently, panting and slightly closing its eyes.
The cow suffered.
This is because the cow's labor process takes a long time, causing qi and blood to stagnate. She is very weak after giving birth, has endless lochia, and makes painful moans and groans from her mouth.
At this time, Liu Chen brought the postpartum penicillin and asked Liu Changjin for a syringe. Liu Chen increased the amount of postpartum penicillin, which was beneficial to the recovery of the cow.
"thanks, thanks."
Liu Changjin clasped his hands together and kept bowing to Liu Chen.
Liu Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the cow and the calf are fine."
Liu Changjin finally exhaled slowly. If the cow and calf were gone, his work points would not be deducted, and he would be guilty.
Captain Liu looked at Liu Chen, where did this guy get these disinfecting things? He had never seen some of them before.
"Have you been a doctor before? You have quite a complete set of things."
If this guy is a doctor, he can be recommended to the commune. He can then become a barefoot doctor, or he can be directly recommended to work in the commune health center, where he will eat "commercial food." Anyway, this guy is not good at farming.
There are people in the team who eat "commercial food", and they also have face.
Liu Chen looked at Captain Liu with really sharp eyes. Wasn't he an obstetrician and gynecologist in his previous life? But how could he say this? Should he say it or not?
Liu Chen was also in trouble.
"My ancestors practiced medicine, and I learned a little bit from them."
Liu Chen could only smile and look at others. As for those who eat commercial grain, Liu Chen didn't think about it. Anyway, he liked the Liutang production team. Although it was a bit hard to work, he would be lazy, so it wouldn't be a problem.
Tired.
As for the "barefoot doctor", Liu Chen didn't think about it. He just wanted to make money, and he just wanted to make money with his fellow villagers.
The story of Liu Chen's successful delivery of a cow soon spread throughout the entire production team.
This son of Liu Jiefang is really amazing, he is a great doctor. He can cure "dead people" and save "dead cows". The more rumors spread, the more powerful he is, but Liu Chen has no idea about it.
Everyone then went to build a pig pen and lay the floor for Liu Chen's house.
"A Chen, was it successful?"
"That is required."
Liu Chen looked triumphant.
Gu Wanjun looked at Liu Chen like this and said with a smile: "Why are you not humble at all? Why are you so narcissistic?"
Liu Chen stretched out his right index finger and swung it left and right in the air, looking mean, and said with a smile: "I'm not narcissistic, I'm confident."
"Hey, Lao Wang sells melons and boasts of himself."
"Are you flirting? Come and get to work."
Liu Jiangang said as he crossed between the two of them.
"go away."
If Liu Chen kicks Liu Jiangang in the butt, this kid will talk nonsense.
Gu Wanjun lowered her head and blushed, but there was a smile on her lips.
Ps: Thank you very much for your recommendation votes and your strong support.
