Chapter 215 Experts from the Capital Provide Free Medical Services
She used ordinary water to irrigate the bucket, but what was different was that she added well water from her space to the bucket at a ratio of ten to one.
Every day, Qiao An would squat by the vegetable garden to see if there were any changes.
Even the Eternal Sanctuary needs to farm, so she knows exactly what vegetables to grow in what climate.
It's early September now, and the drop in temperature will affect seedling emergence, so she chose fast-growing leafy vegetables.
One row each of the following five vegetables: bok choy, Chinese cabbage, romaine lettuce, spinach, and garland chrysanthemum.
About a week later, Joan was surprised to find that the seedlings had sprouted and were growing well, at a rate one-third faster than normal sowing.
It seems this well water really is useful.
Huo Jiyun also noticed the small vegetable garden at home, and he never expected that Qiao An would actually grow it.
He just didn't recognize any of these dishes.
Qiao An used the same old trick: if she couldn't explain something, she would just say it was from Hong Kong.
However, Huo Jiyun was not stupid. "An'an, how could we possibly grow vegetable seeds from Hong Kong in Amutu? The climate is completely different."
Joan wasn't sure if it was the well water that was responsible, so she didn't dare to say for sure. "These days I've been at home with nothing to do, so I tried to mix some nutrient solution and found that watering with it seems to improve the soil quality."
"But I'm not sure yet whether the nutrient solution is the cause."
Huo Jiyun was shocked. If what Qiao An said was true, that nutrient solution could change the soil, wouldn't that mean that the entire Northwest could grow grain, and everyone would no longer have to go hungry and could eat their fill?
This discovery is even more exciting than winning a battle or catching a spy!
"An'an, if the nutrient solution really worked, you've done a great job!" Huo Jiyun excitedly put his arm around her shoulder.
"When you have time, dig up that land over there too. I want to plant some more and try it out. Our yard is too small. If we're doing experiments, we need a test plot," Qiao An said with a sigh.
Huo Jiyun thought for a moment, "How about this, we'll use our yard as an experiment first. If both plots are successful, I'll go to the commander and ask him to specially approve a test plot for you, what do you think?"
"Great! I went to Guangyun City and bought a lot of seeds. I originally wanted to plant them in the village, but it would be even better if we could plant them in Amutu. There's so much wasteland here."
Huo Jiyun is an impatient person; once he decides to do something, he does it immediately, and he finished turning over another piece of land that same day.
However, before Qiao An could even get the injection the next day, Li Shaoyun called her to the Central Hospital.
"I don't need to be checked, right?" Joan looked at the crowd queuing in front of her.
"No, the doctors who came to provide free medical services for us this time are not ordinary doctors, but experts from the capital. I heard that Commander Wu specially invited them."
"Our medical conditions in Amtu are not good, so it's good to have a doctor from the capital take a look at you. That way, I'll feel more at ease."
Qiao An felt embarrassed to refuse Li Shaoyun's kindness after realizing that Li Shaoyun was doing it for her own good.
The queue was in the hospital corridor; men queued on the second floor, while women queued on the first floor.
Qiao An became pregnant, and afterwards, whenever people tried to let her cut in line, she refused.
After noting down who was in front of her in line, Joan started strolling around.
She went to the second floor first and looked at the front of the line, which was the consultation room where the head doctor usually saw patients.
I went over and took a look; there were two male doctors sitting in the examination room.
The man sitting at the large desk had thinning hair and wore black-rimmed glasses; he looked like an old expert.
But his expression was unsettling.
They were also very rude in their speech.
Joan was already furious just listening to it.
"What a lousy place this is! The clinic is dilapidated, it's even worse than our township health center."
"If it weren't for the opportunity to provide free medical services in the Northwest and get a promotion back home, I would never have come to this godforsaken place."
"Sigh, just bear with it, it'll only be a matter of two or three days. But this place is really backward and poor. Look at these people, they're all covered in dust and dirt. The only good thing is the food in the canteen."
These people spoke without any regard for the people in the compound.
Li Shaoyun, standing to the side, changed his expression upon hearing these words.
But they are top experts from the capital, so even if you don't want to listen, you have to put up with it.
It's already quite remarkable that they even came to the Northwest.
Not only that, their attitude towards patients wasn't much better either.
They completely disregard the other party's considerations and feelings.
"Oh dear, your nails are so dirty. Don't touch the things on my desk."
"Bend over... I told you to bend over, not to turn to the side. Can't you understand human language?"
"You wouldn't understand even if I told you all this. Just take your medicine as instructed. Don't hold up the people behind you. Hurry up and get going."
......
Li Shaoyun felt a tightness in her chest. She had stood to the side wanting to learn how the experts in Beijing treated patients, but all she heard was denigration of the Northwest and the families of military personnel.
If it weren't for the fact that they were invited by Wu Yingguo, Li Shaoyun would have kicked them out right now.
What is that?!
Upon seeing Qiao An, Li Shaoyun walked out of the consultation room.
"Sister Shaoyun, why are you out here?" Qiao An asked.
Li Shaoyun's face darkened. "If I listen any longer, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist taking action."
Qiao An chuckled, "I never thought Sister Shaoyun could get so angry."
As they walked down to the first floor, Li Shaoyun couldn't help but complain, "Look at these two, do they look like doctors at all? I don't believe they treat patients like this in Beijing. They're just looking down on us in the Northwest."
"Do they think the Northwest Army are all bumpkins, and that we're poor and ignorant?"
Joanne comforted her, "Don't be angry, these people are just looking down on others."
As soon as they arrived on the first floor, they heard a sudden sound coming from the examination room.
"Hey! What's that smell?"
The female doctor covered her nose and looked at the woman in her thirties with disgust.
Qiao An looked up and saw that Yue Na was being treated.
Yue Na and Qiao An have a good relationship. It turns out that when Qiao An was bullied, Yue Na and Le Guyu always stood up for her.
"I...I took a shower." Yue Na was a little embarrassed and subconsciously sniffed her clothes.
The female doctor glanced at her with a hint of arrogance. "It's definitely a gynecological problem. Come with me to the inner room for an examination."
Yue Na's face flushed bright red, and she almost buried her head under the table.
Upon hearing about gynecological diseases, everyone's expression changed, except for Li Shaoyun, who remained expressionless.
"Gynecological problems... My God... I never noticed before, has Yue Na been messing around with someone?"
"Of course it is. Otherwise, how could a perfectly healthy woman get a gynecological disease? That's a dirty disease."
"My God, I'd better stay away from Yue Na from now on, lest I catch it too."
"If Commander Li finds out, won't he divorce her?"
In this era, many middle-aged women had difficulty recuperating after childbirth. In addition, life in the Northwest was relatively harsh and hygiene conditions were poor, so many people suffered from gynecological diseases.
But in this day and age, not many people understand that gynecological diseases are just normal illnesses.
Many people equate gynecological diseases with promiscuity.
As a result, many people suffer from gynecological diseases, but very few people actually seek treatment for them.
