A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

The next morning, when Lu Cheng just got up and opened the gate, he saw He Xiu Lian already standing there.

"Xiu Lian, you traveled all day yesterday, why did you get up so early?"

"I want to come and see if there's any work I can do at home. I can wash your clothes and cook for you. I can also accompany you to work in the fields."

"Then let's cook and eat first. I haven't been home for ten days. Maybe some villagers will come to see me and get medicine. After ten o'clock, I will take you to Shigejie Commune by bike and we will have lunch in the town."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

As she spoke, He Xiu Lian had already taken out two sleeves from her pocket, put them on her sleeves, and prepared to cook.

Lu Cheng didn't hesitate and started to make a fire.

It is indeed easier for two people to work together than for one person.

Lu Cheng's courtyard seems to be becoming more lively with the addition of a hostess.

After dinner, He Xiu Lian insisted on helping Lu Cheng wash clothes. While washing clothes, she chatted with Lu Cheng who was drying herbs.

"Brother Lu Cheng, our yard is quite big. We can fence it off and raise some chickens. Then you can have eggs to eat every day. What else can we plant in the north corner?"

"It's all right. If you like, we can plant some flowers and bamboo. Or wait until summer and plant some cucumbers and beans."

"We can also grow some pumpkins outside the yard..."

I have to say, it’s different with a woman in this family.

Originally, Lu Cheng didn't think there was anything wrong, but after talking to Xiulian, he felt that a lot of things were missing in the yard and the house.

The two were planning for a bright future when someone actually came to see a doctor.

This time he didn't come to see He Xiu Lian specifically, but he really came to see a doctor.

The person who came was Tian Wanyou from Team 1. He caught a cold a few days ago and had a fever due to the hard work.

Lu Cheng asked him to take his temperature, put on a stethoscope to listen to the situation, and felt his pulse. After confirming the diagnosis, he said, "Uncle Wan You, your fever is already 38 degrees. If you want to get better quickly, you have to get an injection."

"Then let's get the injection. There's still work to do in the fields."

Lu Cheng took out the glass syringe and the stainless steel needle, soaked them in alcohol for disinfection, and then took out the medicine and prepared it.

After the disinfection is completed, clean it, install the syringe needle, shake the prepared medicine in the small bottle, suck the medicine out with the syringe, point the needle upwards, push out the air in the syringe, pick up a cotton ball with tweezers, dip it in iodine and disinfect the area to be injected.

Afterwards, Lu Cheng skillfully gave Tian Wanyou an injection.

When Lu Cheng first started preparing the medicine, He Xiu Lian was standing not far away and watching with a serious look on her face. However, when she saw the stainless steel needle, there was obviously some fear in her eyes.

This scene happened to be seen by Lu Cheng, who couldn't help but laugh. He didn't expect that He Xiu Lian, who was fearless, was also afraid of injections.

However, this is normal. Nowadays, stainless steel needles used for injections are made thicker due to industrial limitations and the need for repeated use, so injections are naturally more painful.

Whether adults or children, who has not been dominated by the fear of injections?

When Lu Cheng was about to give her the injection, He Xiu Lian hurriedly ran away. Not only because she was afraid, but also because the person being given the injection was a grown man, and as a grown girl, He Xiu Lian was of course embarrassed to watch.

After the injection, Lu Cheng prescribed some medicine for Tian Wanyou: "Uncle Wanyou, go back and rest more. Don't do heavy work these two days. Eat less spicy food."

"Okay, I'll remember that. Lu Cheng, that was your wife just now, right? She's so pretty. You have good taste, you're so lucky."

After sending Tian Wanyou away, Lu Cheng disassembled the syringe and disinfected it.

Lu Cheng has a total of four or five sets of syringes at home. He pays great attention to maintenance and disinfection. In addition to disinfecting with alcohol, he also boils them regularly for disinfection.

If the conditions were not met, Lu Cheng would also like to use high-pressure steaming and ultraviolet disinfection.

After all, this thing will be used for a long time, and it has to be used with caution by men, women and children in the entire village.

After seeing Tian Wanyou off, four or five more villagers came to see a doctor. Except for two women who wanted to see He Xiu Lian, they all came with minor colds and diarrhea.

When Lu Cheng was not in the village, the villagers did not want to go to the health center of Shigejie Commune and spend their money in vain, so they just endured it.

Most of the time, these minor ailments only take a few days to heal without medication.

After seeing off all the patients, Lu Cheng estimated that it was almost ten o'clock, so he got on his bicycle, took He Xiu Lian with him, and rushed towards Shigejie Commune.

The bicycle in Lu Cheng's family was bought from the commune six years ago with the help of the village to help him see a doctor.

There are only four bicycles in the entire Shuangshui Village. One is in Lu Cheng's home, two are in the home of the village party secretary, and one belongs to the village brigade.

Village Party Secretary Tian Futang had the opportunity to get two bicycles because his younger brother Tian Fujun was a leader in the county. One was for Tian Futang himself and the other was for Tian Runsheng to go to school.

As for the one in Lu Cheng's home, the brigade also paid for most of it, and half of it was considered public property. Because Lu Cheng often had to go to the commune to buy medicine and run around to see the villagers, it became his exclusive property.

We walked and talked along the way, and it took more than half an hour to reach Shigeji Commune.

"Xiu Lian, are you hungry? Shall we go eat something first?"

"I'm not hungry. The food in this commune is expensive. Brother Lu Cheng, just eat it."

"How can that be? Since you're here, let's go to a restaurant together."

Lu Cheng took He Xiu Lian and walked into a noodle restaurant that looked relatively clean and hygienic.

Income is low these days, but prices are indeed cheap.

A sesame pancake costs only 3 cents, a fried dough stick costs cents, a bowl of plain noodles with only chopped green onions costs cents, and a bowl of臊子面 with minced meat costs cents.

Of course, this not only requires money, but also food coupons.

A fried dough stick counted as half a liang of food coupons, a bowl of plain noodles counted as two liang, and a bowl of臊子面 counted as three liang.

Lu Cheng ordered two bowls of臊子面, but was afraid that He Xiulian would not be full, so he bought four fried dough sticks. In total, he spent 40 cents plus 8 taels of food coupons.

Although this amount of money is small, it is equivalent to a strong laborer in the countryside's income for most of the day.

"Brother Lu Cheng, we don't need to eat such delicious food. A bowl of plain noodles is enough."

"Listen to me, I want you to eat something good. I'm going to marry you in the future, but I don't want you to suffer with me."

"But I am willing to suffer with you."

"That won't work either, just listen."

"Hmm~"

He Xiu Lian stopped talking, lowered her head and took a mouthful of noodles, then took a bite of the fried dough sticks. She felt that this bowl of noodles was particularly fragrant and the fried dough sticks were delicious as well.

After dinner, Lu Cheng took He Xiu Lian to buy some red paper, some flour, two pounds of meat, a big carp, and some candy gifts.

Lu Cheng was not at all vague about the thank-you gift he promised to He Fengying.

Not only that, Lu Cheng also gave He Fengying a big red envelope with five dollars in it.

When He Fengying received these gifts, she kept praising Lu Cheng for being open-minded and generous.

Generally speaking, a thank you gift for a matchmaker would be some snacks or a pair of shoes.

This gift from Lu Cheng is definitely a generous one, enough for others to introduce seven or eight girls to him.

Although it cost a lot of money, Lu Cheng was willing to spend it. If it weren't for He Fengying's matchmaking, how could Lu Cheng know such a good girl like Xiu Lian? How could he successfully complete the main task?
