Traveling through 70's wine

Wen Qing went to the countryside in Luchun County, Yunnan Province from Ezhong City, Hubei Province right after finishing junior high school. Her parents were both employees of a steel plant. She had three children, a brother who was three years older than her and a sister who was one year younger than her.

After graduating from high school, her brother was admitted to a steel rope factory. According to policy, one of the three children in a family must go to the countryside. She graduated from junior high school and met the requirements, so her parents let her go.

It is now 74. She has worked in Yonghong Commune, Luchun County for two years and has transformed from a city girl into an authentic rural girl.

The commune organized the repair of the river embankment to prevent floods. She worked for half a day under the scorching sun. During the blasting, she was too close and was hit on the head by the splashing stones. She fell off the river embankment in panic.

After she was injured, everyone first sent her to the brigade clinic. After a day of treatment there was no improvement. Then the educated youth who participated in the dam construction together sent her to the commune clinic, where she was given an IV drip. A day later, the original owner died, so she, a person from forty years later, traveled through time and space and came here.

The girl who spoke in a sarcastic tone just now was Lu Jiajia, who went to the countryside in the same year as them, but she was not from the same village as them.

The gentle girl who refuted her was Wu Qing, who lived with Wen Qing. She went to the countryside a year earlier than them. The man who spoke seriously was their team leader Lin Changsheng.

"Wen Zhiqing, you have stayed here for one night. We will give you three more days off. You should have a good rest. Do you want someone to accompany you?" asked the team leader Lin Changsheng.

"Thank you, Captain. I just feel dizzy now. I may feel better after a rest. I don't need anyone to accompany me." Wen Qing said weakly with her eyes closed.

Wu Qing said, "Take the medicine and rest first. I'll bring you food in the evening."

"Thank you, Sister Wu Qing."

Wen Qing fell into a deep sleep. In her dream, she saw herself grabbing the man and rolling down the cliff into the abyss, with blood spilling from her body. However, she did not notice that something under her flashed and a faint light sank into her body.

Wen Qing fell asleep. Wu Qing asked the nurse to pay attention to Wen Qing's condition, and then he went back to the educated youth point with the others.

When Wen Qing woke up again, it was almost dark. She touched the side of the pillow as usual, but felt nothing. Then she suddenly remembered that it was the 70s and she didn't even have a watch. As she was estimating the time, she saw a thin, short young woman push the door open.

"Sister Qingqing, you're here." Wen Qing said weakly.

"I brought you something to eat."

"Thank you!" Wen Qing struggled to sit up, half leaning against the head of the bed, and took the black steamed bread handed to her by Wu Qing.

She had not eaten in the morning or at noon, and was now feeling very hungry. She took a bite and it felt dry and hard. Wu Qing took a cup and went out to find some hot water.

Wen Qing had eaten corn steamed bread before, which was sweet, but she didn’t know what this steamed bread was made of. It tasted sticky and bitter.

Wu Qing brought in a cup of boiled water, handed it to Wen Qing, and said, "Eat slowly, drink some water first." He added, "This steamed bread was distributed during the repair of the river embankment. It is made of wild vegetables and corn flour."

Wu Qing added: "Xiao Qing, you should talk to the captain. You are a woman, and he asked you to carry river mud. Most men can't handle it."

Wen Qing stopped chewing, lowered her head and thought for a while, "Okay."

He then said, "Sister Qingqing, it's getting dark now. It's not safe for you to walk alone at night. You can sleep here tonight. We can squeeze together."

Wu Qing looked around the ward.

This is a large room with six beds. There are three patients living in them now, and the other three beds are empty. There are mattresses and sheets on the beds, but no pillows or quilts. It is early summer now, and it is not cold at night, so it is okay not to cover yourself with a quilt.

"Okay, you finish the infusion tonight, and I'll check with you tomorrow. There are three empty beds here, I'll just find one to sleep on tonight."

The next day, Wen Qing had just woken up when Wu Qing brought back two servings of coarse grain porridge.

"Sister Qingqing, I'm so sorry that you spent money to buy breakfast. How much is it? I'll pay you back later."

"No, it's only ten cents, eat first. How do you feel? Are you feeling better?"

"I just feel a little dizzy. I'll be fine after resting for a while."

Wen Qing turned to Wu Qing and said, "Let's go back to the village today. Staying here is both more economical and more convenient."

Wu Qing nodded and said, "Let the doctor take a look. The doctor said that you can return to the village after you are discharged from the hospital."

After breakfast, Wu Qing went to wash the dishes and then took the dishes out and returned them to the restaurant.

A middle-aged female doctor came in, looked at Wen Qing's wrapped head, took her temperature, and said, "The temperature is normal now, but the concussion will take some time to heal."

"Doctor, can you give me some medicine so I can go back to the village to recuperate?" Wen Qing asked.

The commune health center really doesn’t have any good treatment methods, so it would be more convenient to go home.

"Okay, I'll prescribe some medicine for you, you can take it back."

"Thank you, doctor!" Wen Qing said gratefully.

The female doctor wrote a prescription and handed it to Wen Qing. Wen Qing took it and looked at it. It was Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, Yunxuan Tablets, and Mercurochrome. The doctor's signature was Fang Hui.

"Thank you, Dr. Fang! I don't have any money right now. Can I owe you the money first?" Wen Qing said embarrassedly.

Without waiting for Dr. Fang to answer, Wu Qing quickly said, "Xiao Qing, I have money."

Wen Qing said gratefully: "Sister Qingqing, I'll borrow it from you first and return it to you later."

Seeing that the problem was solved, Dr. Fang said, "Although you are feeling better, you need to rest for a while. I will give you three days of sick leave."

"Thank you, Dr. Fang." Wen Qing and Wu Qing said at the same time.
