Chapter 317 60 Control Group Cannon Fodder 5
"Girl, finding a job is not that easy. Let's not rush, take it slow!" After lunch, Zhou Zhisheng broke the silence!
"Dad, I'm not in a hurry, and you don't have to worry. I'm just trying my luck this time. It would be the best if I can find a job, but it's okay if I can't. This is all within my expectations!" How can it be so easy to find a job? She doesn't think she has this luck!
"I'm glad you're not unhappy! It's hard to find a job nowadays. It doesn't matter if you can't find one. You don't have to worry about going hungry at home!" Zhou Zhisheng was also worried that his daughter would get stuck in a rut!
"Dad, I understand everything, don't worry!"
In the afternoon, Zhou Xiaoxiao started reading the newspaper, studying it to see what kind of articles might be accepted by the newspaper? She didn't know if she would get paid for her articles, or even if she did, she didn't know how much!
I finished reading all the old newspapers I bought in one afternoon, and I had a rough idea of what kind of articles would be accepted by which newspaper.
The next day Zhou Xiaoxiao started writing, and Yang Changying used the old newspapers to paste on the wall! Except for the time for cooking, she spent all her time writing.
At the end of the day, I would write two or three articles that I was quite satisfied with. I would wrap them in envelopes, write addresses on them and leave them there. Over the course of a few days, I had written more than a dozen articles.
Zhou Xiaoxiao found a time to mail it to various newspapers. When she came back, she took out the medical manuscript she found at the scrap yard and read it carefully. Most of it was copied from ancient medical books, and the rest was the copier's own medical experience.
Zhou Xiaoxiao made a copy, kept the original manuscript in a space, bound the copy into a book, and aged it. She took it to the barefoot doctor in the village. The doctor's surname was Guo, he was over 50 years old, and he was from another province who had fled from famine!
After settling down in the village, he told the village chief that he knew some medical skills and could cure minor illnesses but not serious ones. That's how he became the village's barefoot doctor.
When they came here, they had an old partner, and the couple had no children. But perhaps because they suffered too much in those years, the old partner passed away within two years of coming to the village.
Doctor Guo's medical skills were sometimes good and sometimes bad. As far as Zhou Xiaoxiao knew, he mostly treated livestock, delivering cows and sterilizing piglets. But he was good at bone setting and applying some herbs for external treatment, but the rest was not so good!
According to him, his father was originally a Chinese medicine practitioner. He followed his father for many years and learned a little bit from him. But before he could master it, his father died. Not long after he took over, he killed a person with his medicine. He was beaten by the family of the person and then had a trauma. He would not easily give oral medicine to others!
But it has no effect on making plasters and bone correction! For patients with slightly more serious conditions, he recommends going to a large hospital! As a designated hospital in the village, you can go to the health center from time to time to get some common cold, fever, anti-inflammatory pills and the like.
If the villagers really couldn't stand it anymore, they wouldn't go to see a doctor easily. So Doctor Guo was usually quite free, and he would go to the mountain to dig some herbs to make ointments.
When Zhou Xiaoxiao came, Doctor Guo was dozing off! She didn't disturb him, but went to the side to watch some of the medicines he was drying, and occasionally flipped through the herbs.
"Xiaoxiao, why are you here? When did you come? Why didn't you wake me up? Are you feeling unwell?" Doctor Guo fell off the chair in his sleep. He suddenly woke up and saw Zhou Xiaoxiao beside him, so he asked her.
"Doctor Guo, I'm not feeling unwell..." Before Zhou Xiaoxiao could finish her words, Doctor Guo interrupted her!
"Are you feeling okay? Are you here to talk to me about something?" Doctor Guo woke up completely from his sleepiness.
"Haha, it's okay. Doctor Guo, I came here just to ask you, do you accept apprentices?" Zhou Xiaoxiao asked directly.
"Apprentice? No, I won't accept one. I'm still a half-baked person myself, and if I take an apprentice, wouldn't that be misleading? Studying medicine is not a trivial matter. If you are not careful, it may cost someone's life." Doctor Guo shook his head like a rattle.
"Doctor Guo, then you can just teach me what you know. As for the rest, isn't it just that the master leads you to the door, and the practice depends on yourself?" Zhou Xiaoxiao moved a stool and sat next to him.
"That won't do. Wouldn't that be nonsense? We can't do this recklessly. By the way, who in your family wants to study medicine?" Doctor Guo still disagreed.
"Of course me! Everyone in my family is busy, and I am the only one who has free time, so I have time to learn this!" Zhou Xiaoxiao answered as a matter of course!
"You, you little girl, why do you want to study medicine?" Doctor Guo looked her up and down and she didn't look like someone who could study medicine.
"I want to learn! It's like this, Doctor Guo, I went to the scrap recycling station last time, preparing to find some newspapers to paste on the wall, and suddenly I saw this! I secretly took a look at it and found it very interesting and I was quite interested. That's why I had this idea." Zhou Xiaoxiao looked around, then secretly took out the medical book manuscript and stuffed it into Doctor Guo's hands.
Doctor Guo looked at the book in his hand, opened it and read it. At first he didn't take it seriously, but then he read it more and more seriously, and his expression became more and more serious.
"Xiao girl, you said you could understand this book and found it interesting? Then you became interested in this line of work." Doctor Guo looked at Zhou Xiaoxiao and asked seriously. This manuscript is the essence of some medical books. He has studied for so many years, but he still doesn't understand some of the things in it!
"Yes, I have read it several times and I have almost memorized everything in it. That's why I want to ask someone who knows about this, but apart from you, I can't think of anyone else in our village who knows this!" Zhou Xiaoxiao answered in a very natural and calm tone!
"No, Xiao girl, you will remember the things in here after reading them a few times." Doctor Guo was surprised. Could the person in front of him be a medical genius?
"Yeah, I just got out of school, it's not hard to carry these, they're not that thick!"
Doctor Guo still didn't believe it, so he randomly checked a few questions in the book, and saw that she had recited them word for word. Only then did he completely believe her words, it turned out that this little girl really had a talent for studying medicine.
But he was really a half-baked person. How could he possibly take on an apprentice when he was not even proficient in something? He was very conflicted at the moment, hating himself for not working harder and learning more.
If his father were still alive, how happy he would be to see such an excellent medical student! He would not have died with regrets because of his excellent medical skills and no one to succeed him!
But it would be such a pity not to let her learn, alas!
"Xiao girl, let's put it this way! You don't have to talk about apprentice and master anymore. If you have time, come over and we'll learn some basic knowledge about herbal medicine. It's a pity that most of my father's medical books were not kept, otherwise I wouldn't have stopped and had nothing to teach you!
I will teach you some of what I know later, but don’t hold your hopes too high, because I really don’t know much! I just saw and heard a lot, and there’s nothing else!” Doctor Guo felt even more regretful that there was a good seedling but no good master.
"Okay, then I will come here every afternoon and learn to identify herbs from you. You taught me knowledge, so you are my master. This manuscript is a gift to you! If I come across it again next time, I will bring it back." Zhou Xiaoxiao achieved her goal and was very happy!
"You decide for yourself! I don't have anything else to do anyway!" Doctor Guo let her do whatever she wanted!
On the way back home, Zhou Xiaoxiao unexpectedly saw the heroine Lan Xuejing, who was walking home with clothes in her arms!
She is the third child in the family, with two older brothers and two younger brothers. Her family tends to favor boys over girls. Moreover, the family is poor, there are many children, and there are grandparents and elders, so she would get even less.
Although she didn't work in the fields to earn work points, she had to do more housework at home. Washing clothes for so many people and cooking for so many people were not easy tasks. Occasionally, I heard people say that she was able to study until high school because she fought hard for it.
She had been painting all kinds of rosy pictures for her family at home, saying that with her higher education and good looks, she could marry a man with a good family background and a job in the city, so that her brothers wouldn't have to worry about the money to get married. If she could get the man, maybe she could even find a job for her brothers!
Now that I have graduated, Zhou Xiaoxiao has been in this world for more than ten days, but I have never seen her. I guess she is hampered by the housework at home!
Zheng Xiaoxiao didn't call her back, but used her mental power to cast a bad luck spell on her, letting her suffer first and earn some interest for herself! As for other things, the time has not come yet, so let her enjoy a few good days first!
Zhou Xiaoxiao started cooking lunch as soon as she got home. She picked some pumpkin seedlings, made seaweed and shrimp soup, stir-fried long beans, and smashed some cucumbers. These simple dishes were ready very quickly!
At the dinner table, Zhou Xiaoxiao told her family that she would learn medicine and identify herbs from Dr. Guo when she had time, and she had already agreed with Dr. Guo.
"Really? Did Doctor Guo agree? Doesn't he not recruit apprentices?" Zhou Zhisheng was also somewhat happy. After all, this was also a skill. If he really learned this, he would have a chance to work as a nurse in a health center!
"Dad, Doctor Guo agreed! Let me go there tomorrow afternoon."
"Okay, since he agreed, then you should study hard! Changying, prepare a gift for Xiaoxiao to take over tomorrow. We can't lose manners. If you learn this, maybe you can make a living from it for the rest of your life!" Zhou Zhisheng instructed Yang Changying!
"Mom and Dad, that's not necessary. I'll learn first. Let me prepare the apprenticeship gift slowly by myself!" Zhou Xiaoxiao called out to her parents.
"What you prepared is what you should do to show your filial piety to your master. As parents, we cannot but express our gratitude!" Yang Changying disagreed with her words!
