Chapter 369 Change
The next morning, Lu Cheng asked for leave from the village party secretary again, rode his bike out of the village and headed towards Ishikawa Village.
When they arrived at Shichuan Village, they found Zhong Yuemin who was working there, and asked him to take him to find Chang Gui, the village party secretary. Lu Cheng then explained his purpose and planned to conduct a medical and health publicity campaign for all the villagers in Shichuan Village.
As it happened, Chang Gui was not too busy recently, so he agreed. In the afternoon, he gathered all the villagers together and had Lu Cheng explain some medical and health knowledge to them, focusing on what can be eaten and what cannot be eaten.
And he reminded parents to keep an eye on their children to prevent them from eating things they shouldn't.
Lu Cheng even used roasted rat as an example to apologize, emphasizing that children should never be allowed to steal and eat rats, unknown insects, or the like.
During this period, Lu Cheng also saw a little guy who chased Zhong Yuemin and called him "Brother Yuemin". His name was Hanwa, and he should be the child who ate the roasted rat and could not be rescued in the original drama.
Lu Cheng took out a few fruit candies from his pocket, gave them to the child, and told him not to eat mice, insects, etc.
After finishing the propaganda work in Ishikawa Village, Lu Cheng returned the bicycle to the commune health center and mailed the letter he wrote to the county.
The next few days were relatively peaceful. Apart from occasionally seeing villagers, Lu Cheng spent most of his time working in the fields.
It was not until half a month later that the village party secretary Bai Guixing suddenly came to inform Lu Cheng and asked Lu Cheng to represent the educated youth of Baidian Village and go to the county town to attend the educated youth meeting.
When Lu Cheng arrived in Jingbian County, a group of educated youth representatives from various communes had already gathered there.
Afterwards, the county sent a car to take this group of educated youth to the city, where they gathered together with more educated youth.
That afternoon, representatives of educated youth from all over Yulin gathered together to attend the educated youth conference held in the city.
At the meeting, the city leader first gave a passionate speech, expounding on the necessity and importance of the educated youth going to the countryside to receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants. He also encouraged the educated youth to actively participate in labor under difficult conditions, integrate into the countryside, build the countryside, and so on.
Afterwards, the leaders announced that they would give special praise to a group of outstanding educated youth and issue them commemorative medals, certificates of honor and the like.
Among them, some of Lu Cheng's achievements in Baidian Village were highlighted for praise, and the majority of educated youth were called upon to learn from Lu Cheng and strive to become the screws of construction.
After the commendation ceremony, some of the educated youth were sent back, while Lu Cheng and another educated youth were left behind.
Afterwards, the city leaders met with Lu Cheng in person. After praising and encouraging him, they asked Lu Cheng to prepare to go to the province the next day to attend the provincial conference of outstanding educated youth representatives. They also asked Lu Cheng to prepare a speech in advance for the conference.
Fearing that Lu Cheng didn't know how to write a speech, the city leaders sent a secretary to guide Lu Cheng, telling him how to carry out education in rural areas, build medical care, how to discover large coal mines, etc.
The next morning, Lu Cheng took a bus to the provincial capital to attend a larger-scale educated youth representative conference.
At the conference, outstanding educated youth representatives from various communes across the province took the stage to speak one by one. Lu Cheng was also regarded as the finale representative and was the last to appear.
As soon as Lu Cheng walked onto the stage, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
His tall and handsome appearance and calm and composed temperament left a deep impression on the educated youth and leaders present.
As the host introduced some of Lu Cheng's contributions, there was warm applause from the audience.
Afterwards, Lu Cheng stood on the stage and spoke eloquently about how he came from a big city to a rural area, how he integrated with the villagers, how he tried every possible way to solve the villagers' practical difficulties, and what benefits the educated youth could bring to the countryside.
From the aspects of education, medical care, infrastructure, scientific farming and so on, it explains what is lacking in the rural areas of northern Shaanxi, and also points out the direction for future efforts for the vast number of educated youth.
When Lu Cheng walked off the stage, the applause from the audience lasted for a long time, and the leaders looked at Lu Cheng with more and more satisfaction.
Soon after Lu Cheng returned to the commune, he received a notice from the county that Jingbian County would open a barefoot doctor training class in July, and asked Lu Cheng to assist the doctors in the county hospital in carrying out training.
Meanwhile, the coal mine exploration work has been completed and the mine opening work is being prepared. It is expected that after the autumn harvest, the coal mine will start recruiting workers.
At this time, Lu Cheng had become the most outstanding representative of educated youth in the province, and his name also appeared in the provincial newspaper.
For a time, educated youth from all over the country launched a wave of "learning from Lu Cheng", and even some female educated youth who had met Lu Cheng at the congress before began to write letters to Lu Cheng.
Some of the bolder ones even said they wanted to become revolutionary partners with Lu Cheng and build the countryside together.
Lu Cheng simply replied to these letters with a few words of encouragement.
In the blink of an eye, it is the harvest season and the people on the Loess Plateau have begun to get busy.
Due to the lack of agricultural machinery and terrain restrictions, harvesting can only be done manually, which is of course a very difficult process.
Boys like Lu Cheng and Li Kuiyong were fine, but girls like Qin Ling suffered a lot.
After harvesting the grain, the educated youth were all exhausted, but when they saw the grain allocated to them, everyone experienced the joy of harvest.
Soon after, better news came back that the coal mine began recruiting workers.
Due to the large area of Dongsheng coalfield, the province has established mining sites in five counties and districts. The coal mine in Jingbian County has also begun to recruit mine staff and miners.
Such a large coal mine not only requires many miners, but also transportation workers, logistics managers, canteen staff, purchasing staff, medical staff and so on.
Since Lu Cheng was the first person to discover the coal mine, the mine gave priority to the villagers from Lu Cheng's educated youth center and Baidian Village when recruiting workers.
In addition, Lu Cheng himself is a very good doctor, and the mine is planning to hire Lu Cheng as a doctor in the medical room that is being prepared in the coal mine.
Coal mining is very risky, so of course there must be a medical room with doctors on duty.
However, before the medical clinic of the coal mine was established, Lu Cheng first went to the county hospital, impressed the county doctors with his medical skills, and became one of the teaching teachers in the barefoot doctor training class.
At the same time, considering that he would leave Baidian Village sooner or later, Lu Cheng selected a female educated youth from Shaanxi Province who was conscientious and careful in her work to come and participate in the barefoot doctor training, so that she could take over his position and become the barefoot doctor of Baidian Village in the future.
It is worth mentioning that Jiang Biyun from Ishikawa Village also became a student of this barefoot doctor training class due to her good performance.
During the time when Lu Cheng was teaching the barefoot doctor training class, the hospital paid him a salary of 35.5 yuan per month, as a normal first-class doctor. This was also considered an extra income.
