Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

Chapter 992 Choice

As it was almost time to get off work in the morning, the cadre responsible for scoring Liu Jingxue's area came over without waiting for Liu Jingxue to call him.

After all, in the past two years, except for the autumn harvest, Liu Jingxue usually finished her full work points in the morning and rested in the afternoon. The cadres were used to it.

As soon as he arrived here, Liu Jingxue's meeting had just finished.

After the inspection, Liu Jingxue was awarded full work points. The cadre also took a look at the work progress of other educated youths and verbally warned those educated youths who were slacking and did not do much work in the morning. Then he left.

Liu Jingxue said hello to Xia Lan, put on her hoe and went back.

Looking at Liu Jingxue's departing back and looking at the results of her work for the morning, Xia Lan couldn't help blushing.

"Why am I so useless? Xiaoxue earned ten work points in the morning and left work early.

But what about me?"

Xia Lan assessed, "I only earned more than one work point in this morning, but not even two work points."

Liu Zhaodi from the next field complained, "Don't stand up straight and look around for a long time, you will speed up.

If the cadres were more strict in acceptance, the soil you turned over would not be deep enough and you would probably have to redo it.

By then, you won’t get even half a work point, let alone a single work point.”

"How dare you criticize me? You're always standing there slacking off.

You said I did less than one work point, so how many work points did you do in the whole morning?"

Liu Zhaodi did not give a direct answer, but retorted, "Why do you care how many work points I have done? As long as I am better than you, that's enough."

Fearing that the two would quarrel, Feng Chunyan, who was working in another field, tried to smooth things over.

"This is my first time going out after resting for nearly half a year. Apart from that monster Xiaoxue, who else can be as fast as me?

I could earn at least three work points in one morning before.

Today, even if I hurry up, I can only get two work points."

She pounded her waist and her arms with her hands, “Even with this, I still feel like my waist is going to break.

My arms don’t feel like my own, they don’t obey me at all.”

This statement was recognized by everyone present.

"That's right. I also feel that this arm is disobedient. I tell it to move to the left, but it moves to the right."

“After taking a break for the past six months, I have become a second-class cripple.

It will probably take several days to get used to this second-class disabled body again."

In her heart, Xia Lan called out to her husband to come and pick her up quickly. She really didn't want to go to the fields to work.

But thinking about the current epidemic, she couldn't help but frown. She was afraid that her wish would not be realized in the short term.

If she fails to meet the monthly work point target, she has no chance of slacking off.

She said with a bitter face, "You'd better hurry up, otherwise I'm afraid today's task will not be completed.

Today it is Liu Zhaodi and Chen Jiaojiao's turn to cook. You should go back early and cook.

I feel hungry now, and I want to eat as soon as I get back. I don’t want to go back and wait.”

Looking at Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao who were still working hard in the fields, Liu Zhaodi said,

"We have to wait until Zhou Zhiqing and Zhao Zhiqing finish cooking before we can start cooking. We can only wait until they go back first."

Xia Lan felt even more miserable when she thought about how four people had been squeezed on one kang during that period and it was difficult for them to even turn over.

“The captain said before that after this batch of patients are treated, no more patients will be admitted.

So in two days, can we move back to the educated youth site?

It's really uncomfortable for so many people to squeeze on one kang."

Feng Chunyan thought about it and replied, "I'm afraid it won't work.

So many patients have lived in the educated youth camp. If you don't open the windows for ventilation and keep the air fresh for a while, would you dare to live there? Aren't you afraid of being infected?

We will probably have to wait for ten days or half a month before the captain lets us go back, lest we fall ill again."

Liu Jingxue naturally didn't know that if she finished the full work points in half a day as usual, she would cause other educated youth to talk like this.

Walking back, passing by other villagers' work sites, she would respond from time to time to the villagers who greeted her.

After returning home and putting her things away, she immediately went into the space to wash her hair, take a shower, and then make lunch.

As for outside, Tuanzi helped her make a fire and boil some water, just like before, so that smoke could come out of the chimney to cover up her tracks.

After digesting the meal, Liu Jingxue took a nap.

After waking up, Liu Jingxue had nothing to do in the afternoon, so she planned to fly in stealth to various places to check on the situation and see how the special medicine for curing the plague was being promoted.

Because it was closest to the gathering point of Qianjin Commune, Liu Jingxue flew there first.

After arriving there, Liu Jingxue used her spiritual sense to investigate and found that the situation was different from what she saw a few days ago. The several special medicines she developed had already been delivered here, and the quantity was quite large.

Although not all patients can use it, it can at least meet the needs of one-third of patients.

The main reason is that there are too many patients in various places and the production is limited. If it is distributed to various places, it will definitely not be able to meet all the needs.

Liu Jingxue also listened to the conversation between doctors and nurses. A new batch of medicines would be delivered every three days.

I estimate that in a few days, all the patients here will be able to use effective medicines and be cured.

After looking at the situation in the commune, Liu Jingxue flew to the production team below to take a look.

Of course, the two communes that did business with the Red Star Production Brigade were excluded.

After all, the patients near the two production teams were either in the commune or sent to the Red Star Production Brigade for treatment.

After investigation, it was found that even the production teams below had a certain amount of special medicines.

But it can’t be used by everyone.

However, Liu Jingxue believed that when new medicines arrived from the commune, they would still be distributed to the production teams below.

After learning about the situation in Qianjin Commune, Liu Jingxue flew to other nearby communes and found that the situation was similar to that of Qianjin Commune.

“Since the situations are all similar, there’s no need to visit communes further away.

Let’s go to town and see what’s going on.”

After making up her mind, Liu Jingxue flew to Linshan Town, intending to take a look there.

After all, if we look at the number of patients, there are many more patients in the town than in the communes and production teams below.

After going to the town, Liu Jingxue found out that the situation in the town was not as good as that in the communes and production teams below.

In the commune, the ratio of medicine to patients is about 1:3, that is, one-third of the patients can use the special medicine, and the other two-thirds have to wait for the next batch.

Because there are so many patients in the town, the ratio is about 1:8, and only one in eight patients can use special medicines.

Moreover, there are more of these special medicines in the centralized treatment centers set up by factories.

This reminded Liu Jingxue of the conversation between the four of them on the way back after handing in the formula that day.

I think the leaders took these situations into consideration and knew that the production team was in a hurry for spring plowing, so they still favored the production team when dispensing medicine.

As for the town, considering that the factory had been shut down for too long, it was indeed disadvantageous to Xia Guo, and a certain amount of inclination was also made towards the patients in the factory.

As for other patients, if their lives are not in danger, we can only let them wait a few more days.

"We are all human beings. This kind of problem really makes it difficult for leaders to make decisions."

“We have to produce so many medicines at once, and I’m afraid the raw materials may be in short supply.

I will make another trip tonight to deliver the medicinal herbs produced in these days."
