In fact, the reason why He Fengying mentioned He Xiulian was not just to introduce a date to Lu Cheng. Even if she didn't meet Lu Cheng today, she was planning to go back to her parents' home soon.

Sun Yuting and his wife are not the kind of people who live a down-to-earth life. They spent most of the family savings after the Chinese New Year. Now that spring has just begun and the family is in financial difficulty, He Fengying plans to go back to her parents' home and borrow some more money.

He Fengying was able to become the director of the Women's Department because of some calculations. When the words came to her lips, she thought about whether she could make some money.

Although Lu Cheng was not clear about the details, he did not care about them. As long as he could successfully contact He Xiu Lian who was far away in Jin Province, spending a little money would not be a big deal.

At this moment, Lu Cheng's storage space contains all his belongings, two hundred and eighty-eight seventy-six yuan, which can be regarded as another novice benefit of the system.

In an ordinary rural family, with one or two strong laborers to support a large family, how much money can they save throughout the year? If a family can save a few dozen yuan and not fall into famine, it is very good.

Although Lu Cheng is better off than ordinary people, he does not have any extra income. He usually treats poor families and may have to pay some of his own money.

In addition, Lu Cheng has a lot of food and clothing expenses, and he has to eat eggs and meat from time to time to supplement his nutrition, which costs a lot.

If Lu Cheng were asked to save money on his own, it would not be easy to save these two or three hundred yuan.

After leaving Sun Yuting's house, Lu Cheng took another walk around the village and only returned home after getting a general understanding of the village.

The weather is still quite cold right now and there is not much farm work to do, so it is a rare opportunity for Lu Cheng to have some free time. Naturally, he has to seize the time to read more books and study to improve his medical skills.

Since I am a barefoot doctor, I naturally have to be responsible for the patients and cannot be content to be a mediocre doctor with only half the knowledge.

Moreover, everyone is eating from a big pot, so Lu Cheng, a barefoot doctor, can rely on the team for support and has no worries about food and drink.

A few years later, the contract responsibility system was implemented and the barefoot doctors lost their work point subsidies from the brigade. They had to treat patients and work in the fields at the same time, so their income dropped significantly.

When rural medical conditions gradually improve, barefoot doctors will also transform into village doctors. Many barefoot doctors with low education and low medical skills will be eliminated.

As for whether he would be a doctor for life, Lu Cheng had not yet decided. But the skill of medicine was very important no matter in which world, and Lu Cheng was ready to improve it.

With the system in hand, it is much easier for Lu Cheng to improve his medical skills than ordinary people.

You can increase your medical experience by studying, healing patients, consulting famous teachers, and observing and learning. When the experience bar is full, you can directly upgrade.

With only first-level medical skills, I can only be an ordinary barefoot doctor.

Level 2 medical skills are equivalent to those of an excellent doctor in a township health center.

With the third-level medical skills, one can serve as an attending physician in a county-level hospital.

With level four medical skills, one can serve as chief physician in a city-level hospital.

As for level five and level six medical skills, one needs to have unique achievements in a certain field and be able to become a provincial expert or a well-known expert.

As for level seven and level eight medical skills, they are nationally renowned experts, or even masters of traditional Chinese medicine, and are national treasure-level doctors.

If one reaches the ninth level of medical skills, he or she will be a well-deserved national treasure, an absolute authority in a certain field, and an existence worthy of being recorded in history.

Level ten medical skills are of legendary level and are rarely seen in thousands of years of history.

Lu Cheng's medical skills have just reached the basic level at this time, and he still has a long way to go in the future.

In addition to a "Barefoot Doctor's Manual" at home, there are three other medical books, namely "Concise Chinese Medicine", "Hygiene" and "First Aid".

Learning medicine is different from learning other things. It does not allow for any carelessness. Lu Cheng was very serious when he was studying on his own. He first learned all the most common diseases in rural areas thoroughly, without missing any one, and then learned some relatively important ones.

I was studying, thinking and taking notes at the same time, and before I knew it, half a day had passed.

In this age without computers, televisions, mobile phones or the Internet, entertainment options are extremely scarce. Apart from reading books and newspapers, ordinary people in the countryside rarely have the opportunity to come into contact with news from the outside world.

Shuangshui Village has not yet had widespread electricity access. Only the village team leader and the village party secretary's home have electricity. The rest of the villagers basically use kerosene lamps for lighting, and candles are rarely used.

Lu Cheng's home is no exception. The only household appliance is an old-fashioned iron flashlight, which is mainly used for nighttime medical consultations.

After a simple dinner in the evening, Lu Cheng wanted to continue reading and studying, but the light of the kerosene lamp was indeed a little dim, and reading was a bit tiring for the eyes, so Lu Cheng put down the book, stretched his body in the yard, and prepared to rest.

At night on the Loess Plateau, the starry sky is exceptionally bright and the earth is quiet, with only the occasional barking of dogs and the sound of the north wind blowing through the branches on the hillside coming from the village.

Ordinary villagers rarely go out at night, only the militia will patrol together.

The militiamen of this era are not ambiguous at all. They have all been trained by veterans, have mastered certain combat skills, and are equipped with real guns and live ammunition.

Shooting, throwing bombs, digging trenches, disassembling and maintaining firearms are just the basics.

The militia in some places are also equipped with heavy machine guns, submachine guns, recoilless guns, etc., and they are also trained on how to shoot down aircraft with light weapons.

At the peak of the militia, there were as many as 3000 million militiamen across the country.

It is said that a county in Shandong Province had 11 militia divisions, hundreds of battalions, and 16 militiamen at its peak.

Every citizen is a soldier, this is not just empty talk.

The real fighting nation is not just the Russians.

The only time Lu Cheng had come into contact with a real gun in his previous life was during the military training in college. And what he had come into contact with was only a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle without bullets, and the bayonet on the gun had to be wrapped in newspaper to prevent it from hurting his classmates.

At that time, Lu Cheng thought there would be a chance to shoot live ammunition, but in the end he just marched with a rusty rifle.

Even so, Lu Cheng was very excited.

Today, every three militiamen in Shuangshui Village are given a Type 56 and a half rifle, and the militia captain also has a Type 63 fully automatic rifle.

Lu Cheng had already made a plan in his mind. He would find an opportunity to take a pack of cigarettes and talk to the militia captain so that he could also fire a few live bullets.

Because there was no clock or watch at home, Lu Cheng estimated that he went to bed at around eight or nine o'clock.

The next morning, Lu Cheng got up before dawn and exercised in the yard.

Lu Cheng doesn't want to experience sudden death again in his previous life.

Over the next two or three days, the weather was not very good, and several elderly people and children in the village caught colds. Lu Cheng visited them one by one to diagnose and treat them and prescribe medicine for them.

After three days of self-study, I only gained a little medical experience.

On the contrary, every time I cure a patient, I gain some experience.

In addition to the patients in Shuangshui Village, a villager from the neighboring Guanzi Village also came to Lu Cheng for medical treatment.

Guanzi Village does not have its own barefoot doctor, but their village is closer to Shigeji Commune. If the villagers get sick, they will endure it if they can, and go to Shigeji Commune if they can't.

Only a few villagers would go to Shuangshui Village to seek medical treatment from Lu Cheng.

On the one hand, Lu Cheng is young and his medical skills have not been widely recognized.

On the other hand, Guanzi Village and Shuangshui Village often have conflicts over water sources, and their relationship is not good.

Moreover, Lu Cheng was supported by the Shuangshui Village Brigade, and he usually used the money from the Shuangshui Village Brigade to buy various medicines.

The villagers of this jar village naturally have to pay the normal fee when they come to see a doctor.

As a result, villagers from Guanzi Village rarely come to Shuangshui Village for medical treatment.

After three days, Lu Cheng's medical experience increased by four points.

There are still two or three patients who have not fully recovered and the experience has not been gained.

This is because the weather has been bad recently and many people are sick.

If it were normal times, there wouldn’t be so many patients in the village.

At the same time, Lu Cheng also gave He Fengying the money for the round-trip ticket back to Jin Province, and gave her an extra two dollars.

He Fengying didn't expect Lu Cheng to be so generous. He promised: "Lu Cheng, don't worry. When I see my relative, I will talk to him. Just wait for my good news. As long as they have agreed, I will write to you and you can go directly."

"Then I'll trouble you, auntie."

No matter what time it is, money makes things easier.

The extra 2 yuan that Lu Cheng gave was enough to buy more than ten or twenty kilograms of wheat, and pork was only or cents per kilogram.
