In the blink of an eye, it was the summer of 1976. Although he was still herding sheep, Wang Manyin did not waste his time.
It successfully passed through the dry grass period in winter and spring, which proved the feasibility of green storage.
The size of the sheep herd has expanded a lot. After the spring of Satisfaction and the founding of the People's Republic of China, they also began to work in the mountains and fields. They can be said to be young men. The duty of farmers is to farm. They cannot be satisfied with the eight centimeters of sheep herding. They first learn from the production team.
, after the crops are mastered, it is time to become a strong laborer.
Now Wang Manyin is taking care of the sheep with three half-grown children aged 14 or 15.
The young man was full of energy and couldn't stop running around with the sheep all over the mountains. Wang Manyin read various books bought from the county town. He still needed more skills. Medical skills were useful at any time. He definitely needed liver, but in Yuanxi,
The only medical classic Wang Manyin could find was "The Barefoot Doctor's Manual".
This is not to say that this book is not good, it is very good. The content covers everything from acupuncture to traditional Chinese medicine, from the collection and processing of Chinese herbal medicine to the practical operation of Western medicine.
The book is also quite thick, with 1264 pages. It is cataloged directly according to the departments of modern hospitals, including internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, facial features, pediatric dermatology, etc.
With this magical book, you can treat diseases in rural areas without looking over the top. Every common disease has three treatment options: acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine, and Western medicine. It can be said that it has achieved a "fool-style" treatment for minor illnesses.
.
It is very practical and valuable, but if you want to understand medicine and pharmacology, this book is not deep enough.
There is also a very meaningful book, the "Militia Training Manual", which covers basic military knowledge from rifle shooting operations to air defense, chemical defense, and atomic bomb defense, bombing tanks, and masturbating planes. No matter how advanced your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of kitchen knives.
For future considerations, Wang Manyin naturally studied seriously.
The remaining carpenters, blacksmiths, stonemasons, plasterers, and bamboo weavers Wang Manyin found didn't mind taking a look and learning from them.
Although many things happened in the country this year, apart from grief, they had little impact on the lives of the villagers in Guan Village who work at sunrise and rest at sunset.
There are no elderly people in Gu Guan Village, except for a few new children. Because of Wang Manyin's influence, the wealthier families in the village began to raise sheep.
The villagers are not short of little wisdom in life. When they see a profit, they will follow up spontaneously. Of course, poor families also want to start some side jobs to increase their family income, but because the lambs of the production team are used to expand the scale, they cannot
Just like Wang Manyin last year, if he wanted to raise sheep because he was on credit in the production team, he would have to spend dozens of dollars on lambs.
Since the three ewes of Wang Manyin's family were all first-born, they only gave birth to four lambs in total, and they gave three lambs to Shao'an. This year, Wang Manyin's family still raised four sheep.
After driving the sheep back to the sheepfold at noon, Wang Manyin was in a hurry to go home.
"Lanhua, how are you today?"
"It's okay." Lan Hua said weakly with a pale face.
"Did you vomit again?" Wang Manyin looked at Orchid, and it didn't look like she was okay.
"Hey, when I was pregnant with Cat Dan and Dog Dan, I was at home alone and could go out to work in the mountains without any problems. How could I be like the third child, who was so noisy, sitting at home to rest, and kept feeling nauseous.
"
The body is still very magical. Wang Manyin’s medical knowledge cannot explain the specific reasons. It has a lot to do with the age and physical condition of the pregnant woman, hormone secretion and mood.
Maybe when Orchid was pregnant with cat eggs and dog eggs, the burden of the whole family was on Orchid. If conditions didn't allow, Orchid miraculously didn't have any pregnancy symptoms.
"The morning sickness has been severe these days, so don't force yourself to cook. It doesn't matter if you eat some pickles at noon. Eat some rice first. After the meal, I will go to Yiyi's house and pick some green apples for you to eat.
.”
Nowadays, it’s all about ordering food. It’s really not suitable to come to the door. Every family is not rich in food.
Because of last year's drought, a large part of the grain harvest was still short. Northern Shaanxi is also accustomed to droughts, and the grain harvest is more or less a problem. To be able to survive this year's lean season, we still rely on the relief grain distributed by the government.
.
As for the question of green apples being unpalatable, pregnant women have different tastes when they are pregnant. They can eat things that are usually too sour for them. Orchid can eat dried hawthorn as a snack.
At noon, I picked some green apples for Orchid. In the afternoon, Wang Manyin couldn't read a book idle. He looked for various wild fruits everywhere on the mountain, such as sweet and sour Maruru, green Du Li, sea buckthorn, papaya, wild jujube, mugwort and melon, I don't know.
Famous wild fruits are worth whatever you find.
I found it and tasted it. It was good and astringent. As long as it was not ripe, Wang Manyin had no problem picking enough orchids to eat.
…
After a few more days like this, Lan Hua got better, but the morning sickness was still severe. Not to mention gaining weight, Wang Manyin felt that Lan Hua had lost some weight.
Wang Manyin could only ask for leave and took Orchid to the Shigejie Hospital. Except for practical operations, the doctors at Shigejie were no better than Wang Manyin. All aspects of his body were normal, but there was no good way to relieve the disease.
"Lanhua, I've already asked for leave. Let's go to Aunt Liu's house to pick up the children and go back to your parents' house."
Because Lan Hua is pregnant and her cycling skills are really average, she doesn’t go back to her parents’ house frequently.
Once you are used to riding a bicycle and walking back and forth, even if the distance is not far, you will feel much more tired than before.
It's the same as modern people who buy a car and don't want to walk when they go out.
Ordinary methods have little effect on orchids. Wang Manyin can only hope that the orchid mother can help orchids adjust their mood.
"Okay, Man Yin, let's go back to Shuangshui Village. We haven't been back for a while." When she said she was going to her parents' house, Lan Hua became happy unconsciously.
Lan Hua's period actually didn't last long. At that time, Lan Hua didn't have her menstrual period, so Wang Manyin gave Lan Hua a happy pulse and went to Sun's house to announce the good news.
The Sun family is happy that Orchid is pregnant, but Orchid is pregnant and Orchid's mother always looks at Xiulian's belly, which gives Hammer King and Xiulian a headache.
After Wang Manyin picked up the child, the family arrived at Sun's house and saw Sun Shaoping and Sun Lanxiang drying various medicinal materials, such as white peony root, wolfberry, gastrodia elata, bupleurum and so on, on the roller in the yard.
After Lanhua said hello to the two people, Wang Manyin led the family inside to look for Lanhua's mother.
Normally, during the summer vacation, students earn cents by working with the production team. This not only exercises farmers' farming skills, but the cents earned can be converted into money at the end of the year, and can also provide a lot more food for the family.
Sun Shaoping took the orchid incense and worked hard all over the mountains under the strong sun in summer to find medicinal materials. Of course, he needed money.
