Lin Yu's life of traveling through time

Chapter 112: The Old Times (4)

The biggest news in the entire village brigade that day was that Lin Yu was going to the county for training, and would be the village doctor for both Dalin Village and Lijia Brigade in the future.

Wang Xiaomei, who had received the news at the educated youth hospital, shouted in disbelief, "Impossible! He's a notorious lazy fellow in this village. How could he possibly know medicine? This shouldn't be the case. This shouldn't be the case. I'm going to report it. They must be using backdoors to appoint people based on personal connections. They should prioritize us educated youth for jobs."

Gu Lin slammed his hand down on the table and said, "Wang Xiaomei. Have you had enough of this? Do you know what you're talking about? Considering the educated youth first? Why? Because you're just looking for trouble? Didn't you see that they were testing medical skills today? Why didn't you say anything when you had an objection? Didn't you see that when people called Lin Yu a lazy guy, it was just a joke? Have you ever seen a lazy guy like that?"

Wang Xiaomei looked at Gu Lin with tears in her eyes: "Brother Gu, he is just a peasant. Where did he learn his medical skills? There must be something wrong with him."

Gu Lin rubbed his temples helplessly. He felt it was really difficult to talk to Wang Xiaomei. This person had always lived in her own subjective world. If the educated youth were not a collective, he would not have wanted to care about it.

Mo Yuwei held the bowl and said, "Wang Zhiqing, if I remember correctly, you were there when Doctor Li was testing Comrade Lin. We Zhiqing were there too, right? How come you're ignoring others' excellence and still haven't changed your behavior of accusing them? You even want to report them. Do you think they don't exist?"

Another male educated youth, Cai Xinguo, also said, "Come on, you haven't been quiet since you came here, Wang Xiaomei. You should know better. Our village brigade is pretty good. No one's bothering you. You should try another place. My brother's sister went to the countryside in the next province. He heard from her that her sister wrote to her about someone in that village who gossiped about others and spread rumors. As a result, they beat them up with their entire family, and then found a reason to report them to the Revolutionary Committee. Guess what happened to that person?"

"That's right, Wang Xiaomei. If you really get people mad, it's hard to say what will happen to you, an educated youth from outside. We're lucky we didn't go somewhere else. The villagers are still very kind and don't like to bully others. Even those people in the cowshed are good and work as usual. Tell me, what are you making a fuss about? If you really want to change jobs, you should behave yourself. Why didn't you take the exam when the village primary school was recruiting? Instead of following Gu Lin around every day? Now that you see Lin Yu can go to the county to train as a doctor, why are you jealous?"

Wang Xiaomei's face flushed red from the constant barrage of criticism. After a long pause, she said, "You...you all bully me."

"Tsk... blame me for being too talkative. Every time someone talks about you, you always say this and everyone is bullying you. Ha! You'd better take care of yourself. Although the educated youth are all one, they don't say they have to stick together. I have worked so hard to break into the ranks of the people, and now you do this and the villagers look at me differently." Cai Xinguo picked up the bowl, threw down a sentence, and walked out.

"I'm full too." Jiang Qi followed him out.

Mo Yuwei and Li Ping also left with their bowls, leaving only Gu Lin and Wang Xiaomei in the room.

"Wang Xiaomei, if it really doesn't work out, ask your dad to find a way to get you back. You really aren't suited to being here. Going back will save you from suffering."

"Then are you going back with us?" Wang Xiaomei asked, tugging at the corner of her clothes.

Gu Lin sighed again: "I'm here to go to the countryside. Ah! Never mind, whatever you say."

Gu Lin thought he should write a letter or send a telegram home to have Wang Xiaomei brought back. If she continued here, he wouldn't be surprised if she was arrested and criticized one day. If he wasn't keeping an eye on her, this guy would really be courting death. Everyone was running out of patience now, and if Wang Xiaomei stayed here, it would only make things worse.

The next day, Lin Yu got up early in the morning and went to the fields with his father and mother to work until seven or eight o'clock. Then his father sent him home to wash, change clothes, eat something, carry a backpack, and ride a bicycle to the county.

Lin Yu rode very fast, and the bumpy dirt road was a unique experience. He quickly arrived at the commune, found Doctor Li, got the letter of recommendation, and got on a minibus to the county.

Boom!dong dong!

"Please come in!"

"Hello, comrade. I was recommended by Doctor Li from the Red Star Commune Health Center to participate in the training. My name is Lin Yu. I am from Dalin Village." Lin Yu handed the letter of recommendation and the letter of introduction to the hospital leader.

"Oh! So, you're the one Old Li was talking about. Okay, okay, welcome to join us. Comrade Xiaolin is very insightful. It's not easy to become a self-taught talent. However, in our training, you also need to know how to give an injection, how to listen to a heartbeat, and know about medicines in order to pass."

"Leader, I'm not afraid of difficulties. I only know a little about Chinese medicine. I need to listen to the training teacher's explanation for the rest."

"Well, having a foundation is naturally a good thing. Come, I'll take you to see Doctor Zheng, and you'll learn from him from now on. We don't have any unified lectures here, you just learn from the master. If you don't understand something, you can ask yourself. There will be an assessment in three months, and you can go back if you pass."

"Okay, I know."

The two of them walked into the clinic and saw Dr. Zheng listening to a patient's heartbeat. After waiting for a while and prescribing medicine for the patient, Dr. Zheng said, "Director? What's going on?"

Dean Zhou pointed at Lin Yu and said, "Old Li recommended him for training. I'll leave him to you. Teach him well and take care of him. I heard from Old Li that Red Star Commune is still short of doctors."

"Okay, leave it to me. I'll teach you everything I can. As for how much you can learn, it depends on you, young comrade."

"Don't worry about that. Comrade Lin has some basic knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine."

Doctor Zheng smiled brightly: "That's great, it would be great if you know Chinese medicine. You can rest assured that I will take care of the dean."

Dean Zhou nodded and left. Doctor Zheng waved for Lin Yu to sit down and said, "Your name is Lin Yu. The dean said you know Chinese medicine, so let me test you."

Lin Yu sat upright and said, "Thank you for your guidance."

Doctor Zheng's gradual examination and teaching made him more and more excited. He asked so many questions that he wanted to take a disciple. However, he also saw that Lin Yu's knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine was not inferior to his, so he gave up the idea of taking a disciple. Instead, they felt like close friends who understood and appreciated each other.

"Okay, okay, with your level, there's not much to train here. You're more than qualified to be a doctor, but you just lack some practice. I think you should just learn some Western medicine here, give injections, and recognize some medicines."

Doctor Zheng looked at his watch and said, "Come on, you came here so early this morning and it's already noon. Let's go to the cafeteria and have something to eat. Then, come with me to the ward this afternoon to learn how to give injections."

"Okay, Teacher Zheng."

"Don't call me teacher. Your level is not low. Call me senior brother. It will make you seem more friendly."

It was only later that Lin Yu learned that Dr. Zheng had studied under Mr. Mu, who came from a family of traditional Chinese medicine.

When the movement started, his master was also affected, but because his master was treating the leaders, he was finally saved without any danger.

In order to prevent some people from being able to deal with him as a master and thus making things difficult for his only disciple, Master Mu transferred Doctor Zheng to Chongyang County to avoid disaster. There was no other way. His master had no children and only this precious disciple, so naturally he had to consider everything for him.

Lin Yu also sighed and was even more grateful that he had met Dr. Zheng.

Doctor Zheng wanted to lure Lin Yu to his master to be his last disciple, so that his title of senior brother would be justified.

The two of them tacitly addressed each other as senior and junior brothers, discussing medical knowledge. After a deeper understanding, Lin Yu realized that Senior Brother Zheng was still studying Western medicine, wanting to know both himself and his opponent, and learn from each other's strengths to overcome their weaknesses. This made Lin Yu very impressed.
