On the other side, with Lin Yu's consent, Mo Yuwei reported to the health center the next day.

"Um, is there anything I can do for you?" Mo Yuwei was a little nervous. Ever since he rescued her from the water, they had rarely seen each other, let alone spoken. Everyone was so busy. Lin Yu had transformed himself into a respected doctor.

Lin Yu said naturally: "Do you have a basic understanding of medicine? Either Chinese or Western medicine is fine."

"I know some basic nursing and first aid. I learned a little bit about it in school."

Lin Yu nodded: "Our clinic is quite busy. If you are interested, I can teach you. At least I am good at Chinese medicine, and I am also learning Western medicine on my own. If you need me, we can study together."

Mo Yuwei was very excited: "Really? You can really teach me?"

"Uh...okay." Lin Yu didn't quite understand why she was so excited.

"Thank you! Thank you. I want to learn Chinese medicine from you. To be honest, my grandfather was a Chinese medicine doctor, but for various reasons he passed away and the inheritance was broken, so I really want to learn."

"Okay, if you're willing to learn, I'll teach you. I'll give you two books, so take a look. If you don't understand, you can ask me."

Lin Yu opened the drawer and handed the book to Mo Yuwei. "I want to tell you something. During our off-season, we're going to visit the people down there to spread awareness about hygiene, and we're also going to give them medical advice and medicine."

"Sure, I have no problem with that. When are we going?"

"Tomorrow!"

"Okay, what are the medicines we need to pack? I'll pack them now."

"We're almost done packing. Take that satchel for me. It's filled with basic medical equipment, including a thermometer. Don't break it. I'll carry the medicine. The kit is a bit heavy. We're going to visit two brigades, so remember to grab a water bottle in case you get thirsty on the way."

"Okay. Anything else?"

"No more, why don't you come and identify the medicine first!"

Next, Lin Yu introduced Mo Yuwei to various medicines and instruments, including Chinese herbal medicines, and also explained some basic things.

As it got dark, Lin Yu asked Mo Yuwei to go back and come back the next day.

These two days are a rare period of leisure in the village, compared to the previous period of time.

Lin Yu got up early, had breakfast and went to the clinic to wait for Mo Yuwei.

The two men carried their things and began to visit every household in their village.

After visiting several houses, all the patients suffered from rheumatism and lumbar muscle strain. It was not until he visited a family with a lot of children that Lin Yu started to have a headache.

This family had moved here in the 1950s. They already had two sons, and after settling in, they married their sons off. It was like some strange thing had clicked: children came one after another. One was pregnant just two months after giving birth, and the next was pregnant year-round. The two wives were like a race, giving birth to one, and so on. In total, the two brothers had seven children, all born next to each other, with ages ranging from one to two months apart. They hadn't even split up yet, so you could imagine how busy fourteen children must be. Lin Yu was a little puzzled. The house wasn't that big. How did they manage to live there and still have children?

Although there are many families with many children, giving birth frequently, one child a year, will definitely cause great damage to the body.

Look, the shy and embarrassed sister-in-law in front of Lin Yu blushed so much that she couldn't express what was wrong with her.

"Sister-in-law, I'm a doctor. Don't look at your age or gender. If you feel uncomfortable, just tell me. If you really don't want to tell me, why don't you just stretch out your hand and let me take your pulse?"

The man next to him said, "Hey, stretch out your hand and let Xiaolin take your pulse. It's not good to feel uncomfortable all the time."

The woman put her hand on the pulse pillow. Lin Yu felt her pulse while observing the woman's face. She looked unnatural. If her face hadn't turned red due to embarrassment, it would have been pale and weak.

After a while, Lin Yu withdrew his hand and said, "Sister-in-law, I know your problem. I will prescribe acupuncture for you. I will come to give you acupuncture in the next few days. I will also prescribe some Chinese medicine for you to take for a period of time."

"Hey, okay, acupuncture now?"

"Ok!"

Lin Yu selected several acupuncture points to promote the recovery of kidney function and adjust the circulation of qi and blood.

After the injection, Lin Yu asked Mo Yuwei to come out: "Give her this medicine later and tell her to wash it externally."

"Ah? What's she doing?"

"Ahem! It's better for you, my female comrade, to go and talk to her. My sister-in-law has given birth too frequently and hasn't had enough rest. As for what disease it is, it's in the book. You can go back and read it yourself. In traditional Chinese medicine, this disease is called Yin Ting."

"Oh fine."

"You saw me doing the acupuncture just now. It's up to you how much you can learn. You can practice the technique yourself on a piece of wood."

After saying that, Lin Yu prepared the medicine for his man, explained the precautions, and then started to give the injection.

After explaining the precautions, the two of them packed up their things and continued to visit the next house.

It took three days to complete the visit, and both Lin Yu and Mo Yuwei were exhausted. However, the harvest was indeed huge.

Lin Yu finally had a deep understanding of the physical condition of the villagers under his jurisdiction. He planned to make a health record file to establish files for the villagers.

Mo Yuwei now has no problem giving people medicine, taking their temperature and listening to their blood pressure. Practice makes perfect, and her movements have become much more proficient.

"Lin Yu, what are you writing?"

"Write a file and visit them to create a file. If there are any problems, we can prevent them in advance, and the people we focus on can also know the situation at any time."

"This is a good idea. Some families are so poor that they can't afford to buy medicine and keep putting it off. If it weren't for the visits, no one would know how serious the situation is."

"Who says it's not? Li Baozhu from the Li Family Brigade is clearly suffering from a disease left over from the famine. This condition is common among older people. It's just that his condition is too serious, and it has shortened his lifespan. The guys who do the light work on weekdays can barely make ends meet. His health will only deteriorate with each passing day. Let's send him some medicine and don't charge him."

"That's right. I think everyone is still used to drinking raw water. You provided free deworming in our team a couple of days ago. Would you like to arrange for the same in the Lijia Brigade? Several children have stomach worms today, and their families haven't given them any deworming medicine."

"Alas, they still lack awareness of hygiene. It's not enough to have stomach worms, but they also have fleas. We still need to do more publicity and make them pay attention to it. Tomorrow I'll go to the Lijia Brigade and talk directly to their captain. I'll ask him to publicize it and give him some deworming medicine. From now on, they will have to do their own deworming regularly."

"Okay, I'll go tomorrow."

"Okay! This is the form I wrote. Give their captain a copy and ask him to pay special attention to it."

Mo Yuwei returned to the Youth League House with the forms. Lin Yu, in his free time, hurriedly sorted out his files. Thinking about the fabric he'd cut yesterday, he planned to finish the cotton lining tonight to prevent it from escaping after long wear and needing to be disassembled for washing. He might as well make a lining out of cotton, improve it, and remove it to use as a thin jacket when the weather gets hot. This was like carrying forward his father's philosophy of hardship and simplicity.
