59 years after its opening, people are still in Nanluoguxiang.

"Grandpa!"

Chen Feng arrived at Zhou's yard on a motorcycle, but he didn't see anyone and even the gate was locked.

"Grandma!"

Chen Feng came downstairs and went to the vegetable garden in the backyard, but didn't see anyone.

"Strange, my uncle went to work, my aunt went fishing, my cousin went fishing, what was grandpa doing?"

He took out a piece of wire and used the messy lock-picking method taught by Chen Jianguo to easily pry open the lobby door, and put the pork, watermelon, canned food, wine, etc. in.

Lock the door, ride the motorcycle, and head to the village entrance along the road in the village, which is sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, but completely wide enough for a ox cart to pass.

The ancestral hall of Zhoujia Village is also in the center of the square at the entrance of the village.

They stopped at the entrance of the ancestral hall and were surrounded by a large group of children.

"I'll ask you a question. If you answer it, I'll give you a candy. OK?"

"it is good!"

A group of children immediately agreed.

"Come on, stand up straight, line up properly, and don't raise your hands randomly, my eyes are blurry!"

"Have you seen Fubo and Dinghai?"

"See, they're going to class!" a little kid rushed to say.

"Anything else?" Chen Feng gave him a candy.

The child immediately ran away with the candy.

"Yes, today Doctor Ma from the commune is going to teach how to treat diseases. Many people went, including my father." The older one explained it more clearly.

But Chen Feng became even more confused!

What's going on? The doctor is teaching how to treat illnesses, but what are the villagers doing?

"Why didn't you go?"

"Not fun!" *N!

Well, classes aren’t really fun!

Chen Feng asked: "Where is Dr. Ma giving his lecture?"

“At school!”

"Any question?"

"I can answer that, too."

"Don't rush to grab them. We have them all. I'll give them to you."

Chen Feng smiled and distributed the candy around. The sugar grains, as long as their little fingers, made crunching sounds when they were chewed by the kids. Fortunately, these crystals were not high-purity sugar, but a mixture of a large amount of fruit and plant fibers, vitamins, etc., and had a relatively low hardness.

It needs to be high purity sugar granules.

Well, rock sugar can break your teeth!

"Everyone, get out of the way. I want to go to your school."

A group of children dispersed and watched Chen Feng drive to the school near the village committee.

As he got closer to the school, he saw at least hundreds of people gathered in a circle, sitting on small stools, listening to a young man explaining common health knowledge.

At this moment, the other party was talking about how to provide first aid for people who caught a cold after falling into the water.

"There's a health lecture going on right now, and it's going to the village!" Chen Feng was stunned.

Motorcycles are still very conspicuous in the countryside.

As Chen Feng approached, countless villagers turned their heads to look at him.

Thanks to the last time he went out to sea, many villagers knew him, and several fishermen called Zhou Jing and his friends.

"Zhou Jing, your nephew is here."

Zhou Fubo and Zhou Dinghai, who were sitting on the ground in the innermost part, were the first to stand up and run out of the crowd.

"cousin!"

Chen Feng looked ahead in astonishment.

I'm here, why are you shouting and running over there?

"Wrong way, this way!"

The two little cousins ​​didn't see anyone, so they ran to the east, thinking that Chen Feng was on the way they came, not in the direction of the village.

A few adults laughed and shouted something, asking them to come around.

This little episode did not affect their class, and soon the doctor in the middle continued his topic.

"Cousin, why are you here again so soon?" Zhou Dinghai asked happily.

"come and see."

Chen Feng did not get out of the car, and asked: "Where did this doctor come from? He is so kind to teach you."

Zhou Fubo chuckled and said, "They are the doctors of our commune. The village chief said they are called doctors without shoes."

Ha, what a weird nickname...

Chen Feng reacted and said, "Barefoot doctor?"

"Yes, that's the name, no shoes!" Zhou Dinghai nodded.

Zhou Jing and his wife, grandpa and grandma also slowly came out.

Zhou Jing came over and patted his son on the back of his head, saying, "Asshole, barefoot doctors don't mean they don't wear shoes, but they are called that because they are not doctors stationed in hospitals, but doctors who walk around to help and treat villagers."

“Barefoot is not about not wearing shoes, but walking around everywhere.”

"Oh, I see. That's what I was wondering, why is Dr. Ma wearing shoes?" Zhou Dinghai said, touching his head.

Chen Feng had only heard about barefoot doctors and had no idea how they operated their work. He asked, "Uncle, will this Doctor Ma be in charge of your area from now on?"

Zhou Jing smiled and nodded, looking very happy.

"Yes, Dr. Ma is the son of the commune's veterinarian. He went to the city hospital for training this year for a full six months. He came back three days ago and became the barefoot doctor in our Zhoujia Village, specializing in the patients of more than a dozen brigades in Zhoujia Village."

"From now on, you don't have to go to the town clinic for any minor illnesses. Just go to Xiao Ma directly."

"So that's how it is." Chen Feng understood what was going on.

Among the one million barefoot doctors in my country since the 70s, some are from medical families (such as veterinarians); the second are students who have received short-term training in medical and nursing professions, such as Xiao Ma; and the third are self-taught people who are recognized to have certain medical and nursing abilities.

my country's three-level basic medical system is composed of village barefoot doctors, small town health centers (clinics) and county hospitals. It is not just the barefoot doctors stationed in the villages.

There is no formal organization and they mainly work on farming on weekdays.

You can get a certain amount of subsidy. The specific subsidy standard depends on the years of service. You can get 20 yuan for every full year.

When shared out, it's less than 2 yuan a month (in many poor areas it's even less, and they rely entirely on the few cents or dimes given by villagers as a thank you for medical expenses)!

However, even with such a meager salary, they relied on a medical license issued by a township health center and saved countless rural people with extremely limited medical resources.

One of the most important and significant contributions is that they have saved countless pregnant women and babies.

Most barefoot doctors are more professional than traditional midwives, and their basic medical knowledge can still effectively improve infant survival rates and prevent bacterial infections in pregnant women!

In today's underdeveloped medical world, every time a woman gives birth, she is walking on a narrow bridge over the gates of hell.

But now, they have a doctor. Even if he has only received simple training for half a year, he is still a doctor.

For a full ten years, with millions of barefoot doctors going to the countryside, how many pregnant women and babies could have been saved?

This was the result after the 70s, and it also started a huge population expansion!

Now, 10 years ahead of schedule!

Chen Feng's heart instantly became extremely satisfied.

This kind of satisfaction is different from the pleasure of eating and drinking well, but it comes from the spiritual level.

He couldn't give up his secrets. Handing his life over to those bastards would be courting death.

But he finally did something very valuable!

"Hahaha!"

After a suppressed chuckle, Chen Feng asked, "Does he know that the barefoot doctor manual he recited was written by my grandfather?"

Zhou Jing and others were stunned!
