A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

It has to be said that this system is so powerful that it can turn a person who knows nothing about medicine into a barefoot doctor with certain medical experience.

As for the "Barefoot Doctor Manual" in Lu Cheng's hand, it has trained thousands of grassroots medical workers.

Some people in later generations criticized that the barefoot doctor manual produced only half-baked doctors. But for this era of lack of medical care and medicine, allowing ordinary people to have the opportunity to see a doctor is already a great progress.

Opening the barefoot doctor manual, you will find everything from treating snoring during sleep to how to help pregnant women give birth, from Western medical surgical procedures to the collection of Chinese herbal medicines to some simple Western medicine synthesis steps.

There are also many very practical folk remedies here, such as how to use 12 flashlights to bundle together to make a temporary shadowless lamp, how to prevent various diseases, kill various pests, etc.

Although Lu Cheng was already familiar with many of the contents, he still had to admire the compiler of the book and the leaders who called for the compilation of this book.

After reading for a while, Lu Cheng felt a little thirsty. He picked up the thermos and the enamel teacup, poured half a cup of boiled water, drank a few sips, and then realized that it was time for dinner.

He stood up and walked to the stove, found the half-eaten cabbage and cut it, cleaned the iron pot briefly, grabbed a few corn stalks and started a fire.

After the pot is heated, scoop a small spoonful of lard from a clay pot next to the stove and put it into the pot.

After a while, there was a sizzling sound in the pot. The chopped cabbage was poured into the pot and stir-fried for a few times. Salt was sprinkled in, and immediately a fragrance came to the face.

Stir the pot with half-burnt corn stalks, and take out four cornmeal steamed buns and put them on the cabbage in the pot. Cover the pot with a solid wooden lid and simmer it for a while. A simple meal is ready.

Lu Cheng lives alone, and his basic cooking skills are pretty good. At least the food he eats tastes delicious.

Cornmeal steamed bread is a bit irritating to the throat. After all, it is cornmeal ground by a stone mill in their own yard, and certainly cannot be compared with the cornmeal ground by machines in later generations.

But Lu Cheng, who grew up in the countryside, could accept it.

Compared to those who still have to eat black flour steamed buns, these corn flour steamed buns are already pretty good, and the most important thing is that they can fill you up.

Lu Cheng can have a physical fitness of eleven points, thanks to this nutrition that can barely keep up.

He ate four cornmeal steamed buns and a bowl of fried cabbage with lard, and finished all of it. The bottom of the bowl was cleaned with the steamed buns.

After simply cleaning up the pots and bowls and preparing to go out, Lu Cheng heard someone knocking on the door outside the yard.

"Lu Cheng, are you home? Open the door."

"I'm coming."

When Lu Cheng opened the gate, he saw a tall and thin young man wearing a dusty gray cotton jacket and a white sheepskin scarf on his head standing at the gate.

The person who came was none other than Sun Shaoan, known as the "Hammer King of the Northwest".

"Shaoan? It's you, come in quickly. From your voice, it sounds like you have caught a cold, right?"

"That's right, Lu Cheng, your level is getting higher and higher. I haven't even said anything yet, but you've already spotted the problem."

"Come on, let's go inside and talk. How did you catch a cold?"

"A few days ago, the cows in the production team got sick. I took the cows to Mijia Town to see a veterinarian yesterday. When I wanted to come back, it was already late. I didn't dare to stay in a hotel because it was too expensive. I decided to spend the night in the barn.

I didn't expect that the main street of Mijia Town is connected from north to south. The wind was so cold. Fortunately, a fellow blacksmith from Henan Province took me in, otherwise I would have been even colder. I just feel tired today and have a runny nose. Just give me some cold medicine."

"Please sit down and take your temperature first. I'll get you a glass of water."

"Don't bother. I don't have a fever. Just give me two cold medicine pills."

"Now that you're here, sit down for a moment and I'll show you."

"That's all right, please."

Lu Cheng put on a stethoscope and listened to Sun Shaoan's ears. He waited for Sun Shaoan to take his temperature, glanced at the thermometer, and nodded: "It's not a big problem, just a cold and a little bronchial infection. I'll get you some cold medicine and anti-inflammatory medicine for two days. If you're still not well in two days, come back to see me."

"Thank you very much."

"What are you thanking me for? Go back and take a rest for two days."

"Then I'll go back first."

After seeing Sun Shaoan off, Lu Cheng closed the door and prepared to go for a walk in the village.

It is still early spring and the weather has not yet warmed up. There is not much work to do in the village, so it is relatively leisurely.

Shuangshui Village is located on the Loess Plateau, with undulating terrain and the Kuyan River and Dongla River meeting here.

There are two small hills not far from the village, named Miaoping Mountain and Shenxian Mountain.

Lu Cheng was born in the Central Plains in his previous life. There were no mountains near his hometown, only flat plains.

The Loess Plateau in front of him was indeed very different from Lu Cheng’s hometown in his previous life.

Whenever Lu Cheng walked around the village and met villagers, they would take the initiative to greet him.

Barefoot doctors also have a very high status in the village and are on the same level as village cadres.

Normally, when a guest comes to a house, a barefoot doctor will be invited to accompany the guest. This is also a very face-saving thing for the host family.

Besides, Lu Cheng had at least attended high school, and was one of the few top students in the village.

Nowadays, not many people can successfully complete primary school.

Primary schools today are divided into two stages: the lower primary school and the upper primary school. The lower primary school is for students below the fourth grade, and the upper primary school is for students in the fourth grade and above.

Many people start working after finishing primary school.

Only families with better financial conditions will let their children continue to attend junior high school.

As for high school students, it is even more difficult.

Sun Shaoan's family was in a bad financial situation, which was largely related to the fact that the Sun family had to support two students.

Especially Sun Shaoan's younger brother, Sun Shaoping, who was currently studying in high school in the county, not only consumed a lot of food, but also reduced a strong laborer in the family, making the already poor situation of the Sun family even worse.

As he spoke, Lu Cheng had already walked to a dilapidated courtyard.

Looking up, it was Sun Yuting's house.

Sun Yuting is Sun Shaoan's second uncle and a well-known capable person in Shuangshui Village. He is the director of the Poverty Management Committee of the village brigade. Sun Yuting's wife He Fengying is the director of the women's department of the village.

Different from the hardworking and simple family of Sun Shaoan, Sun Yuting and his wife are well-known activists in the village. They like to meddle in various matters and wander around on weekdays. They don't like to participate in labor and live a tight life.

But if Lu Cheng wanted to contact the target of the mission, He Xiu Lian, he had to find the women's director He Fengying.

After all, He Xiu Lian was not a local, but from Shanxi Province, and was a distant relative of He Fengying.

It was He Fengying who acted as a matchmaker so that Sun Shaoan and He Xiu Lian could be together in the future.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw He Fengying walking out of the house. She looked up and saw Lu Cheng, and smiled: "Isn't this Lu Cheng? How come you have time to stroll around today?"

"Aunt Fengying, I have nothing to do, so I came out for a walk."

"Oh, by the way, I just happened to run into you. I don't know what our eldest daughter Wei Hong ate these past two days. She has diarrhea. Would you like to take a look at her?"

"Of course. Come on, I'll go take a look."

Sun Yuting has three children, all girls. Sun Weihong is the eldest, 13 years old this year, but due to long-term malnutrition, she is pale and thin, and looks only about ten years old.

Seeing such a child, Lu Cheng felt a little emotional.

But in this day and age, there are many such children.

Lu Cheng briefly checked the situation, felt the pulse, and asked a few more questions before saying, "The child is fine, and doesn't need to take medicine. Just eat less cold food."

As he spoke, Lu Cheng took out a few of the cheapest fruit candies from his pocket and handed them to the three little girls.

"Lu Cheng, thank you. Look, you're still giving candy to the child. Let me pour you a glass of water."

"Don't bother me. I'm not thirsty either."

The three little girls were very happy when they got the candies and kept calling him brother.

Although only one cent could buy four or five hard candies, these children hadn't eaten them for a long time.

"Lu Cheng, you are handsome, have a good temper, and can treat illnesses. You are really capable. Any girl who marries you will be very lucky. Come to think of it, there must be many people who have proposed marriage to you. Why haven't you got married yet?

Why don't you tell me what kind of girl you like? I'll keep an eye out for you. Although I'm just the head of the women's department in our village, I know a lot of people. I know all the unmarried girls in the surrounding villages. What do you think?"

Lu Cheng was delighted when he heard this, and saved himself a lot of words: "Aunt, I just want to find someone who is diligent and capable, with big eyes, and I don't have any requirements. I have looked at all the girls around here, but I haven't found any that I like."

"Yes, all the girls around here must have seen you. How about this, if you don't mind the distance, there is a good girl in my hometown, Jin Province. Can I introduce her to you?"

"That's great. If it really works out, I'll prepare a big red envelope for Auntie."

He Fengying became even more excited after hearing this. She had just mentioned it casually, but now she had made up her mind to go back to her hometown: "I have a distant relative, there is a girl in their family, named Xiulian, with big eyes and double eyelids, not only is she pretty, but she is also very capable, and she keeps the family and the fields in good order.

If you are really interested, I will go back in a couple of days and ask for you. But it will take a round trip and a car..."

"Don't worry, Auntie. You are running errands for me. How can this cost you any more money?"
