Chapter 9 Brother and Sister Go to the Commune
Liu Chen immediately pulled the rope hard, and the mule stopped again. He whipped the whip hard on his body, and the mule started running again. His hands were so painful that they hurt, sometimes fast, sometimes slowly. After several rounds, the mule started running again.
Crush until the ears and grains are completely threshed.
Several other members used forks to pick up the wheat straw and piled it on the edge of the threshing floor. Several other members used wooden shovels to gather the wheat grains into the middle. The piles of wheat grains were like hills, and several members used wooden shovels to gather the wheat straw.
The wooden shovel is carried along the wind. This is to remove the wheat and wheat bran impurities. After the wheat is cleaned, it is spread out to dry in the sun for a few more times, and then it can be bagged and stored.
The fighting scene was really lively, with people cheering and horses cawing. From time to time, a few birds flew in to taste the joy of the harvest. When the members saw the birds flying, they hurried to catch them. This is everyone's ration, so we can't
Let the birds eat it.
There is a dilapidated adobe house in the wheat field, which is used for people who specialize in taking care of the wheat. There are several water tanks around the field, and the tanks are full of water. This is a simple fire prevention device.
Everyone is very active in their work. This is food for everyone. They are all very motivated.
After working like this for several days, Liu Chen was so tired that he couldn't get up.
It doesn't work, it really doesn't work. If you continue like this, you will have to explain yourself here sooner or later. The college students who will come to you for generations to come cannot just disappear like this.
After work, after dinner, Liu Chen lay in bed unable to sleep. The weather was so hot and stuffy, and it was only a few months ago that mosquitoes were buzzing. In the past few days, his whole body was bitten by mosquitoes, fleas, and insects.
My whole body was covered with bumps. I had scratched my skin in many places and it was extremely itchy.
Liu Chen felt so tired that his whole body was sore and uncomfortable. He had just eaten dinner and now he was hungry again. He casually took a shower with cold water. If it didn't work anymore, if he continued like this, he would really jump into the river.
"Mom, give me some money and I'll go to the commune tomorrow."
Liu Chen thought that no matter how high-achieving he was, he might be able to make some money and make a small fortune by moving dead trees and living things.
No matter what, I can't suffer here, I have to be lazy for a few days.
As soon as he heard that Liu Chen was leaving and going to the commune, Wang Mudan became nervous. Did the boy regret it and was he leaving?
"Don't be nervous, my second uncle is in the city and I want to write him a letter to tell him that he is safe."
Hearing that Liu Chen had relatives, Wang Mudan nodded.
He walked to the wooden box, opened it, took out a folded piece of cloth, opened the cloth, took out some change, counted fifty cents, and gave two food stamps to Liu Chen.
"Baby, this is all I will give you. I will ask your sister to accompany you tomorrow."
Liu Chen got up before dawn.
Youdi had already helped him ask for leave from Captain Liu Liu. At first Captain Liu didn't agree. It was a busy farming season and it would be impossible for two people to take leave at once. They said it would be a stalker, so Captain Liu reluctantly agreed.
Days without work are good, even the air is sweet.
"Sister, let's just walk there? You can also borrow a bicycle."
"Brother, it's not far away. It's only a dozen miles away. We'll be there in the blink of an eye."
When he heard about ten miles away, in the blink of an eye, Liu Chen stared and was startled, the fourth sister was Nezha, stepping on a hot wheel.
Liutang's production team is pitifully small, with about a hundred people. Only the big team has bicycles.
There are horse-drawn carriages, mule carts, and ox-carts. What time of year it is, but the harvest is busy, and you don’t dare to touch these carts.
Although Youdi has short legs, she walks very fast, as if there are motors on her feet.
Liu Chen could only keep up with him at a trot, and soon he was out of breath from exhaustion. He still plays basketball regularly, otherwise he would definitely not be able to keep up.
When he arrived at Lianqiao Commune, Liu Chen was sweating profusely from exhaustion. He bent over, lowered his head, put his hands on his knees, and gasped for air.
There is nothing wrong with Youdi, and this little journey is nothing.
Soon the two people arrived at Daqiao Commune.
The Daqiao Commune is not an adobe house, but a blue brick tiled house with the words "Long Live the Chairman" written on it. There are many notices on the walls, most of which are reports from the students.
Liu Chen was a little hungry. He got up early in the morning and ate less. Mainly because there was no oil and water, there was no oil in the vegetables, and there was no rice in the soup.
Let's finish the business first. Youdi took Liu Chen to mail the letter first. The letter was mailed quickly. Stamps and envelopes are cheap nowadays, and they only cost a dime together.
After sending the letter, Liu Chen wanted to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some food.
"Ahhhhh"
Liu Chen heard the woman's shouting and looked around. The sound came from the supply and marketing cooperative.
Listening to the sound, based on professional experience, this is the sound of a woman giving birth.
The two people hurriedly ran to the counter of the supply and marketing cooperative and saw a pregnant woman sitting on the ground with a pale face. There was water on the ground. It turned out that the amniotic fluid had broken.
"I'm about to give birth, hurry up and save me, save my baby." I saw the pregnant woman supporting the ground with one hand and touching her belly with the other.
This pregnant woman's name is Wang Juan, a salesperson from a supply and marketing cooperative. She is pregnant with her first child.
In the past, there was no such thing as not working when you were pregnant. Many pregnant women gave birth to their children in large numbers.
It is a common phenomenon to work while pregnant, and the job of a salesperson is not tiring.
Seeing this posture, it is 80% that this is an emergency birth. If this is not handled properly or if it is handled a little slowly, the child may be born, or may become infected or even die.
"Comrade, I don't know how, I don't understand."
Youdi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. She had never encountered such a situation. What should she do?
Youdi knelt down and held the pregnant woman's hand.
"How should I help you? I'll run back to the team and call you the midwife."
Youdi said and was about to run to the team.
"No, it's too late, she's about to give birth."
Liu Chen pulled Youdi and said that he needed Youdi's help at this time, and she couldn't leave.
"I'm a doctor, I'm here to deliver your baby."
Liu Chen could only do this. Although he knew that pregnant women could not accept his identity as a male doctor, at this critical moment, he could not care so much.
"No, I won't let you deliver the baby. You are a man, so I don't want it!"
The pregnant woman yelled and refused to let Liu Chen get close to her.
It can't be blamed, now we are not so open, unlike in later generations, where male obstetricians and gynecologists are everywhere, but now we are conservative. When I saved Xiaohua some time ago, if Captain Liu hadn't arrived in time, I would have almost been beaten.
"This is an emergency, and you are a patient in my eyes."
Liu Chen didn't want to explain too much to her, saving people was more important now.
"Who are you? Get out of the way, wife, what's wrong with you?"
Liu Chen was about to check what was going on when he saw a man pulling Liu Chen aside and walking to Wang Juan's side.
"Ah ah ah, it hurts, it hurts!"
Wang Juan saw her husband coming and took Zhang Yanjun's hand.
"What should I do? I'll call the midwife. Wife, you wait."
As he spoke, he let go of Wang Juan's hand.
"Ahh..."
Wang Juan screamed even louder.
"Don't leave yet, take your wife to bed first."
Liu Chen grabbed Zhang Yanjun.
Several people put Wang Juan on the bed and lay her down. Liu Jun ran to call the midwife, and Youdi brought a towel to wipe Wang Juan's sweat, and took a pillow to prop up Wang Juan's buttocks higher.
Now Youdi is Wang Juan's life-saving straw. She holds Youdi's hand tightly and won't let go.
"Please believe me, I am a doctor, your life and the life of your child are important, my gender is not important."
"Let me check on you."
Liu Chen looked at Wang Juan and said that he wanted to check the situation and see what was going on.
"No, I can't do it, I won't let you see it."
Wang Juan's face was grim with pain, but she still wouldn't let Liu Chen get close to her.
Liu Chen shook his head. How long has it been? He still cares about these things. He really doesn’t care about his own life or the life of his children.
If the patient doesn't want to, it's hard for him to force it.
Liu Chen was outside the door and asked loudly: "When did your water break?"
Wang Juan thought about it, it was probably yesterday afternoon. Because it was not the due date, she didn't take it seriously.
"Yesterday afternoon."
"Why don't you go to the health center?"
These days, how many people go to the hospital to give birth to their babies? They are all born at home. Besides, there are not many doctors in the health center. They only treat those with headaches and fever. The environment is not good and the conditions are very poor.
Daqiao Commune is not big, and there are no obstetricians at all. Those with good conditions go to the city to give birth, and others are given birth at home.
It was too late, time is money, time is life. At the critical moment, Liu Chen looked at Zhang Yanjun and saw that Zhang Yanjun hadn't come yet. He was very anxious.
