The afterglow of the setting sun soon covered the earth, casting a golden glow on the faces of the people working in the fields.

Time flies during the fulfilling work. In the blink of an eye, the bell for the end of work is heard. After hearing the bell, the scorekeeper will go to each person's land to calculate each person's work points for the day.

There are also people like Lin Sitian who only work for one afternoon or one morning, and these scorers know everything clearly.

Therefore, when Lin Sitian saw the scorer write down that her work points for today were 4, her heart was still filled with joy. After all, 4 work points was not bad.

As they walked back to the courtyard, they were all laughing and discussing how many centimeters they had earned that afternoon. Wang Wenxiang earned 6 work points, Guan Huijun earned six and a half centimeters (6.5), and Zhao Wenhua and Liu Zhipeng earned five and a half centimeters (5).

Lin Sitian and Xia Zhiyan were delayed for a while because they went to the team leader's place during work, so they only got 4 work points; Yun Ya got 4 centimeters, and Bai Wanting went back to the yard early to cook, so she also got work points.

Although they didn't get many work points, today was a very rich day for them. After all, they went to the mountains in the morning and dug up a lot of wild vegetables and useful medicinal herbs.

During the lunch break, they went to the town to do some important work, and they could earn a few work points in the afternoon. At this moment, they were strolling on the way back to the courtyard, with youthful and happy smiles on their faces.

After happily finishing their meal, they went to bed early because there was no lunch break today.

The next morning, the familiar bell rang as expected, and they washed up early, had breakfast, and went to the places where they usually worked!

None of the eight of them asked for leave today. Instead, they were all present. The autumn harvest had not yet begun, so they could still ask for leave. However, these eight people caused a small discussion among the rest of the team.

In fact, when eating breakfast, Lin Sitian was also struggling with whether she should go up the mountain to find herbs or go to work. But Wang Zhiqing's words woke her up. It wouldn't cost her another day to find herbs. It would be terrible if the people from the commune couldn't find Lin Zhiqing. So Lin Sitian gave up going up the mountain and followed him to work.

Just as Wang Zhiqing expected, while he was still at work, he heard a notice on the brigade radio: "Lin Sitian, the educated youth, Lin Sitian, the educated youth, please come to the village committee office, please come to the village committee office!"

The loud and intermittent broadcast sounded in this busy brigade at this moment, and the brigade members who heard these words began to talk.

Aunt A: "Hey, how long has it been since the brigade radio was used? This time, they used it to call a young educated youth who had just arrived at the brigade. What's the big deal?"

Aunt B: "Hey, even though they've only been here a short time, they've done a lot for our brigade. Look, our crops are growing better than last year, and that's all thanks to the information they contributed."

Aunt C: "That's right. Who knows, there might be some good news. We'll definitely know when the time comes."

........................

In this way, Lin Sitian walked to the brigade's daily meeting room amid the curious gazes and discussions of the brigade aunts. When she entered the room, she found that there was not only the brigade captain but also the leader who had awarded her the certificate when he came to the brigade last time. There was also a recorder sitting next to him with a notebook.

Seeing the person arrive but not enter, the team leader immediately stood up and said, "Lin Zhiqing is here! Come in quickly! You've met this leader before, so don't be nervous. The secretary next to you is specifically recording our conversation this time."

Hearing the captain's call, Lin Sitian took a few deep breaths and walked into the room without feeling nervous.

When Lin Sitian sat down, the leader who had smiled and awarded her the award last time asked seriously:

"Lin Zhiqing, we have verified all the certificates you submitted, and they are all authentic. Now I want to ask you seriously: are you truly qualified to serve as a doctor at this brigade's health station?"

Lin Sitian listened to this serious topic and recalled the professional materials she had learned in the 21st century, as well as the knowledge she had learned from her grandfather and others. She also replied seriously:

"I can do it, leader, rest assured. If there's a problem I can't solve, I won't prescribe medication without authorization. I'll advise the patient to go to the town clinic or a large hospital. I'll do my best to help our team members and the educated youth who went to the countryside."

After hearing the resounding answer from the educated youth in front of him, his serious expression could no longer be preserved and he smiled kindly and said:

"Now our commune has approved the Xiangyang Production Brigade to establish a health station in the brigade. You are officially hired as a doctor at the health station to provide a stable rear for the team members of the brigade and the educated youth who went to the countryside to build the rural areas.

Your health center will have a share of the required amount every month. When the time comes, you can come directly to the commune to get the approval slip and go to the big hospital in town to get the western medicine for your team.

As for traditional Chinese medicine, as far as I know, if you can find it yourself, then go find it yourself. If you can't find it, you can go directly to the town's traditional Chinese medicine hospital to buy it if you need it. However, you must keep a clear account book. You can come to our commune to reconcile the account and apply for the corresponding funds when the time comes."

After finishing his long speech, the commune leader saw that his secretary's hands were almost smoking, so he took a break to drink some water, looked at the educated youth in front of him and asked, "Did you hear clearly? (????)"

Lin Sitian heard that there was a fixed quota of Western medicine every month. This was something she had not expected. After all, Western medicine now had to be imported from foreign countries, and foreign exchange coupons were very scarce in my country. However, in such a small village, Western medicine could be afforded. So she asked seriously:

"Leader, can our brigade really get a monthly ration of Western medicine?"

Hearing this question, the company leaders couldn't help but smile and responded:

"This is all thanks to the agricultural data you contributed earlier. Our commune copied that data and kept it in our commune, and sent the original data upwards.

The leaders above obtained such valuable information and also saw the current grain growth of our entire commune, so they gave us, Xiangyang Commune, a reward.

Especially this time, all your certificates have been stamped and verified one by one, so your team has also been approved to have a monthly supply of Western medicine (?ˉ??ˉ??).

But let me be frank, we don't have much of this medicine, only a small amount that will be gone this month. I hope you can prescribe the right medicine when the time comes. (? ? ?? )"

When Lin Sitian heard that the current supply of Western medicine was related to the agricultural information she had contributed, she smiled and said, "I understand. Don't worry, leader. I will definitely not prescribe medicine indiscriminately."

Seeing that the educated youth in front of him had no more questions, the commune leader took a sip of water and continued:

"Besides these, your salary is 30 yuan per month, and at the end of the year you'll receive 20 kilograms of coarse grains and 10 kilograms of fine grains. But during the autumn harvest, you have to join in the hard work, and the harvest is also counted on you.

However, if any team member falls ill or feels unwell during the autumn harvest, it would be considered a different matter if they ask you to prescribe medicine or see a doctor.

During the autumn harvest, you will be compensated individually for the patients you see. This can be in the form of food or money. You can discuss this privately. For patients outside of the autumn harvest, your salary will be based on what our commune pays you."

When Lin Sitian heard that Qiushouzhi had to report herself and the patients separately, she said worriedly: "What happened with Qiushouzhizhi? Doesn't that count as speculation? If I collected the consultation fee from the patients separately, wouldn't that count as a violation? What if I get reported? Or what if the patients don't pay me and instead put me on the team's bill? \(`Δ')/"

Lin Sitian's tone was full of worry at this time, and even her face showed fear. When the captain heard Lin Sitian's doubts, he said directly:

"Don't worry, Lin Zhiqing. If anyone dares to owe you medical fees or anything, just come to me directly and I'll take care of it for you. I'll explain the situation during the autumn harvest to the team members. If they want to come to you for treatment, they'll have to pay for it themselves."

The commune leader added, "Don't worry. This is the best plan we've worked out with the town's Public Security Bureau, and we've also informed the Revolutionary Committee. So, you don't have to worry about anyone reporting you. If anyone dares to, we'll definitely identify them and punish them severely. Do you have anything else to add?"

After hearing these words, Lin Sitian felt very satisfied at this moment. She not only had a fixed salary, but also could get food supplements at the end of the year and make some extra money during the autumn harvest without having to worry about being reported.

What else is there to be dissatisfied about? He directly agreed: "Leaders, I am very satisfied with the leaders' decision and have nothing to add."

After hearing that there was nothing to add, the captain said, "Since you, Lin Zhiqing, have nothing to add, I will tell you directly:

You don't have to start working from tomorrow. A health station has been opened in the yard where you live. After all, there are still two empty rooms in your yard, and the Chinese herbal medicines you found are also drying in your yard.

Therefore, it is most reasonable to set up a health station in your courtyard. As for your other friends, I will directly reduce your rent a little. You can go back and tell your friends when the time comes.

Also, considering that you usually go up the mountain to look for herbs, I will tell the team members that if they need to see you for treatment, they must come at a fixed time, otherwise I am afraid I won’t be able to meet you.”

When Lin Sitian heard that it was convenient to receive medical treatment in her own yard and it could also reduce her companion's rent, she agreed on her companion's behalf.

After all, coming to see a doctor at a fixed time will not affect my life in the entire courtyard. I just have to hide the fruits and meat a little bit on weekdays!
