Chapter 212: Spring Blossoms
From this day on, Chen Fan's life has entered a new track.
I got up at 6 o'clock in the morning, rode a mare and took the foal to the team headquarters, deposited the horse in the livestock shed of the 5th team, and went to Lu Siye's house to learn calligraphy, and asked the old man for Chinese medicine knowledge by the way.
Now he has memorized the four small classics, and began to learn "Acupuncture" and "Shennong's Materia Medica", acupuncture is a little better, mainly to test memory, which is his strength, memorized the acupuncture points of the whole body, small meaning.
It's just that Lu Siye is not proficient in specific needle pricking, so he can only barely count it, saying that after a few days, Chen Fan will memorize the classics such as "The Emperor's Internal Classic" and "Difficult Scripture", and then introduce him to a teacher who can prick needles and diagnose pulses.
What made Chen Fan feel tricky was the "Shennong's Materia Medica", mainly because the old version of the herbal medicine pictures were a bit abstract, and he couldn't accurately distinguish them.
In this regard, Lu Siye had no other good way but to wait for the spring flowers to bloom and the herbs in the field to grow, and then take him to the scene to pick and identify.
In addition to traditional Chinese medicine, Chen Fan's calligraphy has also progressed rapidly, holding that chicken quill, he can skillfully write an italic text, and it looks like it, no longer like painting.
After studying like this for more than half an hour, it was close to 7 o'clock before he went to work at the radio station.
Now that the veterinary class has ended, the class will no longer be held in the morning, and he has nothing else to do, just practice and practice words in the radio station, and occasionally guide Zhang Cui'e to learn knowledge.
The vet class in the front yard was not opened, but the classroom was not taken back by the brigade headquarters.
When Yang Xingxiu opened a veterinary class, each team first eliminated the loss of the girls, and then took advantage of the dissolution of the veterinary class to successfully occupy this classroom and set up a "cultural cram school".
She screened the whole team of girls, and on the basis of soliciting personal wishes, she found eleven girls to come over to participate in the cultural cram school, almost all of these girls are interested in going to school, but their families do not support them, and they have only studied in the village primary school for two years, but they are all insisting on self-study after that.
Yang Xiuying also asked Huang Ying about the three of them, but they guarded Chen Fan's big treasure, where could they still see the cram school separated by two floors, so they politely refused.
The teacher of the cram school is Zhang Cui'e, who teaches the "students" about school culture, as well as the "barefoot doctor's manual" and "veterinary textbook" borrowed from Chen Fan, and asks Chen Fan for advice if she doesn't understand it.
Anyway, she doesn't come every day, and when she does, she will bring an egg or sweet potato, and Chen Fan is willing to teach her.
Having said that, the boys in the veterinary class worked hard enough, and these girls worked harder than those boys, taking the barefoot doctor's manual as an example, even if they didn't understand what it meant, they would memorize it word by word, and there were English textbooks, so they couldn't pronounce the words, so they memorized the words and letters first, and then taught them when Zhang Cui'e learned it from Chen Fan.
This kind of perseverance made Chen Fan also a little moved, so sometimes he would go over to talk about it in person.
In addition to the two reasons why Zhang Cui'e is very sensible and these girls are very hard-working, the reason why Chen Fan is willing to spend some time teaching them is that he still has a bit of a bad taste in his heart.
He thought in his heart, when the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination is announced, he will instigate it again and let all these girls register for the exam.
Unless the boys in the veterinary class are willing to listen to him and insist on learning the knowledge at the middle school level, they are afraid that it will be difficult to speak.
After spending two hours, after getting off work in the morning, he rode a horse and went to the veterinary station with Yang Zhijun and Li Zhengqun to "go to work".
It's really going to work, in the words of stationmaster Zhou, they don't need to learn theoretical knowledge, and they just get started and increase their clinical experience.
So from the first day, almost all the animals in the veterinary station were treated by Yang Zhijun and Li Zhengqun, and Dr. Wang and they only pointed out from the side, and later watched with their hands behind their backs, without saying a word from beginning to end.
As for Chen Fan, these ordinary cases did not mean anything to him, so he drank tea and read books in Station Manager Zhou's office every day, and he naturally read the magazines and literature of the veterinary station.
As long as he encounters an interesting case, he will tell it and share it with Stationmaster Zhou and other doctors.
So with him, the student becomes the teacher, and the teacher becomes the student. Sometimes, Mr. Zhou and other doctors would recall the special cases they had encountered in the past and take them out to him for advice.
As long as there is something in the data room of the veterinary station, Chen Fan can find out the corresponding case, if not, it doesn't matter, he will record the symptoms in detail, and then use the name of stationmaster Zhou to write a letter to the "Jiangnan Agricultural Science" magazine for help.
Not to mention, they really received a reply from the experts of the magazine, providing solutions if they are sure, and providing solutions if they are not sure, so that Chen Fan and Stationmaster Zhou have improved their medical skills a lot.
In view of this, their lunch at the veterinarian station during the study period was all wrapped by the veterinarian station.
Originally, the meal expenses during the study period were settled by the sending units or individuals themselves, and Ye Shubao also approved 10 catties of food stamps for each of them, so that they could eat in the town by themselves, so that they did not have to come back.
Well, now all the food stamps have been saved, and not a single one has been touched.
Food stamps are a good thing, and as long as you go out, you can't live without them.
This food stamp is different from the grain book, the grain book is bound to the household registration book, how many people in the family, there is a corresponding ration of grain, every month with the grain book, go to the grain store to buy rice, the grain store salesman will make a record in the grain book, so that you can buy food, no need for food stamps.
Food stamps are only used when eating outside a restaurant or when you go to a state-run restaurant to buy a staple food.
In other words, you can't use food stamps if you don't go out, and as long as you go out, you have to bring food stamps.
All along, Chen Fan has never left Nanhu Commune, the first reason is, of course, that he has no holidays, he has to go to work every day, and he is only free between 9 am and 4 pm, but with the traffic conditions of this era, he can't go far in these few hours.
Take a car, there are only two buses to the county, one at 7 o'clock in the morning and one at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
In addition, another reason is that he does not have food stamps, and unless he brings his own dry food on the road, he can only go hungry.
Now, one of the two difficulties has been solved, saving a little use, 10 catties of food stamps are enough for him to use for a week, as long as the problem of working hours is solved, he can also go out for a walk and see the "outside world".
They stayed at the veterinarian station until 3:30 p.m., and then the three rushed back to the brigade headquarters.
At this time, the other 10 students of the veterinary class will also return, but instead of attending classes in the classroom, they will build a new straw hut outside the courtyard of the brigade headquarters to treat the animals together.
There are more than 80 mules, horses, donkeys, and cattle in Lujiawan, and many people have pigs and dogs at home.
Later people raise pigs, a few months can be slaughtered, even if it is an improved pig, the latest one year can be slaughtered, but now the pig, a pig for two or three years, or even longer is also a common thing, so the sale of pigs is not only at the end of the year, but the end of the year is a peak season, relatively concentrated.
At other times, there are at least 200 pigs in the production team.
Coupled with some chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, and a small number of sheep, there is absolutely no shortage of livestock in today's production brigade.
Since there are so many livestock, it is natural to have more of them.
In addition, the nearby Ganjia Village Brigade and Bailanghu Brigade are not too far from here, and if there are animals sick on their side, they will also drag them over to ask the veterinarians in Lujiawan for treatment.
Because there is a "Doctor Chen" here who is willing to bow down to the head of the veterinary station, then of course they will choose a better place to send it.
As a result, Lujiawan became the new "veterinary station" of Nanhu Commune.
It just so happened that the students in the veterinary class needed sick livestock to practice, and it was a perfect hit.
Therefore, after returning from the commune's veterinary station, Yang Zhijun and Li Zhengqun began to play the role of Dr. Wang, instructing other students to heal animals. At this time, the girls in the cram school will also come together to study together.
Only when they encounter a disease they have never seen before, they will go and ask Chen Fan to come down.
The simple Chen Fan instructed Yang Zhijun and Li Zhengqun to do the treatment, and the complicated ones did it themselves.
It's just that so far, there have been no complicated cases.
That's right, there are so many common diseases in livestock, where are there so many incurable diseases.
In this way, he will be busy until the end of work, and Chen Fan will go home.
As for the unfinished livestock, of course, it is left to the students to continue to practice, otherwise why would he train so many people?!
When I got home, I went to the dirt slope behind me to continue tidying up my homestead, or burned a kiln of green bricks, and I was busy until dark.
After dinner and washing, I gave Jiang Lili a few more high school lessons, and it was almost 10 o'clock in the evening, and the day passed.
Such days are half a month after that.
In the blink of an eye, the first month passed, and the earth was once again dressed in green, and it was already the season of spring flowers.
At this time, the production team also began to get busy, to prepare for spring ploughing.
And the cram school for girls, which Chen Fan had high hopes for, also unknowingly, there were fewer and fewer people, until everyone went to work, and the brigade department, which had been lively for a winter, also quieted down.
