"That Year, That Street" (Chapter 41) (Original)

This week, when I returned home, I was just in time to kill the pigs at home. Looking at the three or four hundred pounds of annual pigs that had been washed white and fat by the butcher and hung on the pillar, Fang Shiyin's heart was more steadfast. It has been a year since the land was decentralized and the land was contracted for responsibility, and the mother's diligence had brought the joy of a good harvest, the grain did not have to worry, all kinds of grain were piled up at home, and which family as a cropper was unhappy? Although it is still impossible to eat green rice, or some miscellaneous grains, but wheat rice, corn is no longer the protagonist, they have withdrawn from the stage of history, only singing supporting roles, looking at the bowls of steaming rice with only a few miscellaneous grains, which cropper is unhappy? Fang Shiyin was even happier in his heart, he had poor health since he was a child, his appetite was small, and he was not accustomed to eating mixed grains. I remember that when I was young, in order to take care of him, my mother first scooped a small bowl of pure rice and steamed it on top of the koshiki when she was mixed with grains, and also steamed an egg with her to supplement his body. At that time, there was too little material, there was no other side food to supplement the body, even if there were side food, the rural people could not afford to buy, nor could they buy, in addition to asking for money and food stamps, only urban residents had supplies, and when the rural mother could use this way to help the party, it was already considered "superior treatment"! This all cost his family's rations to take care of him. Now, in the past year, the land contract system has first solved the problem of not worrying about eating.

Idle, Fang Shiyin and his father talked about his father's practice of medicine. If it were in the original place, Fang Shiyin's group of children would not dare to communicate with their father, who did not beat people, but he was always very majestic and did not get angry. Every time the father came home before retirement, every time the father took leave to come home, he heard his father's voice in the distance, and a group of children ran early like a mouse to see a cat, and they ran early to find a place to hide, and even the sound could not be too loud, even the atmosphere did not dare to come out, for fear of being heard by the father and shouted in front of him. In fact, the father does not casually scold people, let alone beat people! In Fang Shiyin's impression, his father had never beaten their children, and every time he came home, he just shouted the children in front of him, touched the children's heads with his hands, and asked some questions about what he usually played and learned such topics. However, because his father was in this small family, in this big family, and in the entire Fang family, his father was very prestigious and prestigious, so not only Fang Shiyin and his group of children were afraid of him and feared him, but other clans in the clan also respected him, and at the same time they were a little afraid of him. Fang Shiyin's father usually does things vigorously, never pulls the thin belt, does things cleanly and neatly, says to do it, the nature of his job does not allow him to procrastinate, the patient comes, how can he drag, a procrastination will delay the best period of treatment, the reason for the profession makes the father develop a good habit of clean and sharp.

Now that my father has retired from illness, due to a serious illness before retirement, my father's words have obviously decreased after his illness, and he is not as fond of talking as before, but his personality seems to be much milder. His father usually prescribed prescriptions for patients who came to see him at home, but he did not open pharmacies, and in the early days of reform and opening up, the policy did not allow private pharmacies. The father's temperament has become milder, and the children have more access to him, although Huwei is still there, but the children must stay by his side from time to time. Fang Shiyin was already in high school, more sensible, more open-minded, and less restrained in front of his father. Fang Shiyin still has more than half a year to graduate, and if he is lucky enough to be admitted to college after graduating from high school next year, then he will have to choose to study medicine. So he wanted to learn something about medicine from his father, who had been practicing medicine all his life. His father briefly described his medical studies, saying: "Before liberation, for various reasons, he only read two old books and dropped out of school, and then he helped his grandmother to farm at home. After liberation, he served as the first chairman of the village's agricultural association, due to the complicated work of village affairs, he needed to write things like handling opinions, he had little culture and could not write, he often asked your grandfather to write, your grandfather was troublesome, and he thought that he did not let him read books before liberation, and he felt guilty. Therefore, your eldest brother was born, and your grandfather wrote a lifetime of medical experience into two books for him to learn medicine while recognizing words, and at that time he was already twenty-three or four years old, and it was really difficult to learn medical experience with your grandfather while copying books while recognizing words and memorizing medical books! Doing farm work is memorizing medical books, fortunately, he himself is diligent, his memory is also good, your grandfather has enough experience, and let him actually learn medicine! The father went on to say: "In 1956, your grandfather went to the county health bureau for a meeting, I followed your grandfather into the city to do business, in front of the county health bureau saw the announcement of the poor border area urgently recruiting doctors, so he was the first to sign up to the border area as a doctor's branch, at that time the border area conditions were very poor, there was no road, the households were sparse, from the previous family to the next family sometimes had to walk more than ten miles, the local lack of medicine, the environment is too bad, so many regular doctors have tried to transfer out, so poor doctors. Seeing that there was a shortage of medicines and medicines in the border area, he also wanted to use what he had learned in a useful place, so he was the first to sign up to work in the border area and become a doctor in the border area. "My father said that after he signed up, he went to work in the border area and was warmly welcomed by the people of the border area! Fang Shiyin's father worked in the border area for six years, because he studied diligently, he could bear hardships, often carried the medicine box to the countryside to see the people, let the people run less, he was straightforward and good at making friends, and he was very harmonious with the local people. Most of the local people are ethnic minorities, many understand herbal medicine, there are many herbal doctors, but there are fewer doctors in regular hospitals. His father's approachability was supported by the local people, and his father also learned many small one-sided recipes with the local people and learned a lot of herbs, according to his father, the herbs taught by his grandfather and the herbs he learned from the people in the border area were added together, and he could recognize more than five hundred herbs. Later, these small unilateral parties, these herbs also came in handy, and played a lot of roles in eliminating the difficulties of the disease for those who could not afford to pay for medical expenses. My father rarely talked about his decades of practicing medicine, but he talked a lot about how to learn, ask for advice from knowledge, and make continuous progress. If he chooses to study medicine in the future, he must take the strengths of various doctors, and only by being knowledgeable can he carry forward the ancestral craftsmanship, remember to be my own respect, and look down on others.

Fang Shiyin only heard the second uncle inadvertently talk about his father's achievements when he was playing at the second uncle's house. The second uncle gave Fang Shiyin a saying: "Your father is very remarkable, a man, and a big husband. At home, he is worthy of being a big brother and supports what a big brother should do. In the unit, in the hearts of the people is also remarkable, Ji Shi practice medicine, the first emphasis on medical ethics. When your father was working in the border area, he also published a newspaper to save an eleven- or twelve-year-old child who had been in shock for two days and two nights. "But Fang Shiyin was in a conversation with his father, but his father did not talk about his own merits and achievements. He talked to Fang Shiyin the most about how to behave in the world, how to cultivate morality, how to endure hardships, how not to abandon labor, how to cultivate good medical ethics when studying medicine, and so on. On this day, Fang Shiyin learned a lot from his father, and also had a little understanding of his father, unlike the original, he only felt that his father was just a general doctor, just a strict father. This deep conversation with his father has been accompanied by Fang Shiyin's life path, so that Fang Shiyin will be used for life. (To be continued)
