A Time Travel Effort in the 70s

Shen Jiaren said a little embarrassedly, "No, no, it's just luck."

Second uncle, "At this time, every job is assigned to a specific position. It's already great that you can find a job. But are these books useful to you?"

Shen Jiaren nodded. "Before, it was just my hobby, so I read a lot of different books. Now that I have a job, I have to follow my job. And because I don't have enough knowledge in this area, I want to read more books and learn more."

The second uncle nodded and asked Shen Jiaren to stand and wait. He went back into the house and came out to give Shen Jiaren two books, one was a practical guide to Chinese medicine preparation, and the other was a encyclopedia of barefoot doctors.

When Shen Jiaren saw the two books, she asked curiously, "Uncle, what are these?"

Second uncle, "These two books are books I used to read when I had nothing to do. If you don't mind, you can take them and read them. I'm old now and can't see the words clearly, so I'll give them to you. Just think of them as enlightenment books for you."

Shen Jiaren said a little embarrassedly, "Uncle, this really won't work. Isn't this book given to barefoot doctors? If you give it to me, what will you use it for?

I really don't need it. I'll look for it later.

My leader also gave me a few books, and I am currently studying them.

Bit off more than you can chew. "

Second Uncle, “These two books are just a reference guide, not that complicated.

If you are embarrassed to take it, you can just return it to me after you finish reading it.

Otherwise, you can read them one by one.

You can pick the book that is most useful to you first. "

Shen Jiaren stared at the guide to Chinese medicine preparation and felt a little excited. Now that she was in a Chinese medicine warehouse, it was true that she needed to identify Chinese herbal medicines, but now that she was drying the Chinese medicines, this guide to Chinese medicine preparation might be of greater need to her.

Seeing Shen Jiaren staring at the preparation guide, the second uncle handed the book to Shen Jiaren and said, "I don't know what position you are in the hospital. If you are interested in this, take it back and have a look.

This book can also be considered an enlightenment book for learning Chinese medicine.

In the past, when people studied Chinese medicine, they started by identifying medicines and memorizing prescriptions.

The preparation of this Chinese herbal medicine is a kind of medicine identification.

Take it, it won’t be a waste as long as you read it carefully.”

Shen Jiaren was still embarrassed to take it, but she didn't expect the second uncle to directly stuff the book into Shen Jiaren's hands.

Shen Jiaren looked at the book in her arms and said thank you to the second uncle.

Second uncle, "So are you going to take the books I left for you this time? After all, there are a lot of furniture in that room besides books.

Didn’t you say you live in town now? Do you have a place to put these things? "

Shen Jiaren, "I live in a dormitory now, and there's not much space for me to store things. I'm going to pick a few books to take back home to read. I'll buy and move the rest later."

Second uncle, "In that case, you shouldn't go in to read. It's so late, and there are so many books. If you keep flipping through them, it will get even later.

Go back early, it's too dark to walk alone on the road."

Shen Jiaren thought about it and it made sense. Even if it was the main road in town, she didn't have her dog with her and she was alone, so safety was her first priority.

Shen Jiaren nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, sir. I'll go back first. I'll send it back to you after I finish reading the book or copying some excerpts."

The second uncle said, "Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry. This matter can't be rushed. Just take your time. Don't worry, the books and furniture that I specially put away for you are all placed in that house, and I will wait for you to pick them up when the time comes."

Shen Jiaren nodded, then turned and walked towards the door.

The second uncle called hesitantly, "Xiao Shen, I have something to trouble you with."

Shen Jiaren turned around and asked, "Master, what's the matter?"

Second Uncle, "I heard from Hongmei last time that you can get hens and dried mushrooms?"

Shen Jiaren, "Well, mushrooms may not be available now, but hens are available."

Second uncle, "Oh, this is my... my good-for-nothing son's daughter-in-law giving birth to a baby. She asked for a chicken every day, and she asked for an old hen.

When they saw the dried mushrooms that Hongmei sent us, they accused us old couple of stealing them. They didn't feel sorry for them or their grandson.

There was a huge quarrel at home.

There is really no other way, so you come. Otherwise, I wouldn’t bother you.”

Shen Jiaren, "Uncle, those fungi may not be available. I will go back and look for them. But as for the hens, this may be available."

Second uncle, "Can we have it? Yes or no?"

Shen Jiaren smiled and said, "Second Master, if you want it, of course you want it. I'll go back to the village and buy one for you. But do you want it alive or killed?"

Uncle Er, "I can't afford to have a chicken a day. But I can have one every two or three days. What I think is, if I have one chicken every three days for seven days a week, I only need two live chickens.

By then, chicken blood can be used to cook dishes, and we old couple can improve our lives a little bit."

Shen Jiaren heard this and said, "Uncle, how about I give you two eggs for each chicken, and then you and Auntie can have some nutrition. How about that?

Consider the eggs a gift from me to you."

Second uncle, "No, no. We are old and can't eat much. Just a little bit of leftovers will be enough.

If the food is really good, the daughter-in-law will make even more trouble. "

Shen Jiaren, "Eh? Uncle, why? Why don't you solve the problem and just put up with it?"

Second uncle, "Alas, children are all debts. We live to repay debts. It's not too difficult to get what you want, so just satisfy yourself first.

Please don't let my grandson run out of food. If he does, he'll cry and whine, wouldn't that be even more heartbreaking?"

Shen Jiaren sighed silently in her heart. Every family has its own problems. Every family has its own problems. No one can make decisions for others, nor does anyone have the right to judge how others live.

"Uncle, I don't want much for the chickens. Ten yuan for each chicken. I'll bring two chickens and give you four eggs. Just give me twenty yuan."

Second uncle, "Ten yuan for a chicken? Isn't that too cheap?

Even if you buy it at the grain station with tickets, it's not that cheap. You're getting too much of a loss. It doesn't have to be so cheap. I have money. Just buy it at the normal price. I remember the grain station charged at least twelve yuan for a chicken.

I'll give you thirteen dollars a chicken, is that okay with you?"

Shen Jiaren, "Uncle, this chicken is three yuan short, and two chickens are six yuan short, which is nearly half a month's salary. Uncle, are you sure you have this money?

I'm not doubting you, nor am I looking down on you, it's just that this chicken is really not cheap, and you want two a week, which is really not cheap."

The second uncle smiled and said, "I know, I calculated it, six yuan a week is a difference of thirty-six yuan a month, which is equivalent to the salary of a temporary worker.
