Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

"Uncle Zhao, my suggestion is to go to the city to buy medicine."

In this era, information is inevitably blocked. Going to the city to buy medicine now may give you a glimmer of hope.

"Okay, let's go to the city to buy medicine. These oxen are more precious than anything else. Zhou Liang, you go with Gu Zhan, and be sure to cooperate with him."

"Okay, Captain."

Zhou Liang was upset about why he didn't think of going to the city to buy medicine, and he was also angry that the captain actually let Gu Zhan, a twenty-year-old boy, control him.

The trip to the city was very quick. After about half an hour, Zhao Baogen had already written the certificates for both of them and brought some banknotes.

Gu Zhan asked someone to give Liu Xiaoxi a message, then got on the brigade's tractor and went to the county town to catch a bus.

Gu Zhan was lucky enough to catch the last bus to the city today.

Before leaving, Gu Erniu, a cousin of the Gu family who drove a tractor to see him off, said, "Gu Zhan, you have to help our village overcome this difficult time."

"I know, uncle, don't worry."

Sitting on the swaying bus, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scenery outside the window, Gu Zhan suddenly realized that he couldn't tell whether it was his previous life or this life.

In his previous life, after his wife and daughter passed away, he took the bus countless times, traveling back and forth between Xiaohe Village and his workplace along this road, trying to find any trace of his wife and daughter. This journey lasted for forty years.

It was past nine in the evening when the bus finally arrived at the station. When we got off at the station, there were only a few passengers left on the bus.

Gu Zhan rubbed his aching waist, stood up, walked to the front seat and woke up Zhou Liang, who was already fast asleep: "It's time to get off the bus."

"Ah? Already here?"

"Ah."

Looking at the dark sky outside, Zhou Liang looked at Gu Zhan blankly: "Where are we going to live?"

Gu Zhan sneered in his heart. At this time, Zhou Liang was actually worried about where to live. It can be seen that this person does not have a strong sense of responsibility, otherwise the sick cows would not have been reported until now.

"Rest in the waiting room tonight and go buy medicine tomorrow morning."

"Oh fine."

But in his heart he kept cursing Gu Zhan for being stingy.

Gu Zhan also wanted to avoid sleeping on the hard chair at the station for a night, but Zhao Baogen only gave them thirty yuan when they left.

Thirty yuan was obviously a huge sum of money at that time, but Gu Zhan did not dare to be too careless.

If the medicine is available in the city, he doesn't know whether the price is the same as in the county. If the medicine he needs is not available and he needs to change to other medicines, he doesn't know how much it will cost.

According to the current situation, it is likely that more medicines will need to be purchased, and the other cows in the village also need preventive treatment. With this calculation, the 30 yuan is already very tight.

But Gu Zhan didn't know that in addition to the thirty yuan, there was still five yuan and thirty-eight cents left in Shanghe Village's account.

He didn't sleep very well that night. When it was just getting light, Gu Zhan asked Zhou Liang to go to the animal husbandry station quickly.

It had been a while since I'd walked this far. When I finally reached the animal husbandry station, there was already a long line at the gate. And at the supply and marketing cooperative next to the animal husbandry station, there were even more people lining up than at the animal husbandry station itself.

Zhou Liang had never been to the city before, and everything here seemed new to him. He asked Gu Zhan to queue for a while while he looked around, and Gu Zhan did not refuse.

As the queue passed the notice board of the supply and marketing cooperative, a recruitment notice caught Gu Zhan's attention. After a closer look, he saw that the Municipal Agricultural Technology Center was recruiting English translators.

Gu Zhan was very interested in this information.

In his previous life, he was also an academic. He read all kinds of complex English academic papers and journals, and also wrote papers himself. English was not difficult for him at all.

Now, he can finally use his knowledge to solve his family's livelihood problems, which makes him feel extremely proud and honored.

Coincidentally, Zhou Liang also came back at this time.

Gu Zhan asked Zhou Liang to line up while he walked into the supply and marketing cooperative.

When Zhou Liang saw Gu Zhan enter the supply and marketing cooperative, his eyes flashed. The captain asked Gu Zhan to manage the money but didn't let himself manage it. It was obvious that he was not confident in himself. Now that Gu Zhan went to the supply and marketing cooperative, he must use the money given by the captain to buy something. As for what to buy, it remains to be verified.

He was very sure that Gu Zhan now had no money except the money given by Zhao Baogen.

The supply and marketing cooperative was also very crowded. After observing the crowd for a while, Gu Zhan found a middle-aged man who looked like a leader. He walked up to him and asked about the information outside. "Hello, I saw a recruitment notice posted on our bulletin board. It's for English translators. Do you know the specific information?"

The middle-aged man being asked saw Gu Zhan wearing a gray-blue homespun clothes covered with patches, but his eyes were bright and his temperament was extraordinary. Even the tattered clothes on his body could not conceal his temperament.

The middle-aged man paused, but without any hesitation, he answered Gu Zhan's question in detail: "Comrade, this is the recruitment notice of the Municipal Agricultural Technology Center. Because it is difficult to recruit English talents, they posted the information here. They thought that since there are so many people here, there might be some unexpected gains."

After a pause, the middle-aged man asked Gu Zhan: "My fellow, are you planning to apply for the job?"

Seeing the other party's sincerity, Gu Zhan did not hide it: "That's exactly what I meant."

"Then you'd better hurry up. I heard they said that they would hold an exam at the Municipal Agricultural Technology Center at the beginning of next month, and they would select the best candidates then."

Hearing the middle-aged man say this, Gu Zhan had an idea in his mind. His trip was urgent and he obviously couldn't make it. He would go back to Shanghe Village to bring the medicine back and then return. He should be able to catch up in time.

Gu Zhan thanked the middle-aged man repeatedly before walking out of the supply and marketing cooperative.

After a while, the team had already moved halfway forward. Gu Zhan walked forward for a distance and found Zhou Liang.

Zhou Liang saw Gu Zhan coming out empty-handed, and his eyes flashed: "Gu Zhan, what did you buy?"

Gu Zhan glanced at Zhou Liang with a half-smile, and Zhou Liang's body stiffened. Then Gu Zhan smiled and said, "I didn't buy anything. I just went in to find out some things."

Zhou Liang obviously didn't believe it at this time. He could ask about things at the city supply and marketing cooperative. Gu Zhan and he were both peasants from the countryside. What could he ask about?

He must have bought something secretly.

After waiting in line for a whole morning, I finally arrived at Gu Zhan's place.

The medicine seller saw Gu Zhan and asked without even raising his eyelids, "What medicine?"

"Oxytetracycline."

"No more. Do you need anything else? If not, please move on to the next person."

No more? Gu Zhan frowned. Is the situation so urgent now? The medicine in the city is also gone.
