Chapter 6 The way forward and the way out
Gao's father soon learned the news that Gao Yuan was back. He didn't catch up on his work and ran straight home. He even lost one of his shoes in a panic. But when he ran to the door barefoot, Gao's father
Suddenly he slowed down again.
When he saw Gao Yuan waiting at the door, Gao's father just glanced at him and then slowly walked over.
Gao Yuan looked at his father and shouted: "Dad."
"Hey." Father Gao agreed in a muffled voice. Maybe he felt that the atmosphere was a bit dull, so Father Gao asked another nonsense question: "You're back?"
"Yeah." Gao Yuan nodded.
Father Gao walked to the house, brought over a stool made of tree stumps, and sat down. He touched his waist and wanted to smoke, but found that the pipe had fallen into the ground, and he came back in a hurry without bringing anything.
He took off his only remaining shoe, smashed it on the ground, shook off the sand and dust, and shouted to Gao Jun: "Jun, go get the things back from the field, including my pipe. My shoe fell on the dry ground.
It's in the ditch, remember to pick it up when you pass by later."
"Cough cough cough..." Gao Jun coughed a few times, pinched his painful shoulders and neck, and went out without saying a word.
evening.
Gao Mu cooked the meal and ate her dinner quickly while there was still some light, otherwise she would have to light the oil lamp later and waste oil again.
Gao Yuan also cooked onion and black soybean soup for his younger brother Gao Jun to relieve his symptoms.
"Drink it." Gao Yuan brought the medicinal soup to Gao Jun.
Gao Jun took the medicine bowl in silence.
Dinner is just a simple sweet potato and mung bean soup.
After dinner, Gao Yuan stood in the yard. The cool night wind in the mountains blew on him, making him think a lot.
"Yuan, it's windy in the mountains, so wear a coat." Gao Mu came out holding the clothes.
"Okay." Gao Yuan took it and put it on.
Gao's mother looked at her son, as if she couldn't get enough of it. Gao's mother hesitated for a while, and then asked cautiously: "Yuan, you... what on earth is going on with you? How could you rebel?"
Gao Yuan's hand holding the clothes tightened slightly, and the heavy rain that night appeared in front of his eyes, as well as the person he was most familiar with.
"Gao Yuan, Gao Yuan, are you there? Open the door quickly. Open the door quickly."
"What's wrong?"
"Someone in my family said that my father was injured in a fall and was dying. I had to go back and take him to the hospital."
"ah?"
"Do you still have the car keys with you?"
"Yes, I haven't handed it in yet."
"Lend it to me."
"But...this needs approval."
"I beg you."
"Hey, don't kneel down. Get up quickly. Okay, I'll give it to you. It's important to save people. I'll go and complete the formalities tomorrow."
"Thank you, thank you."
"Why are you standing there? Why don't you go back quickly!"
"Bye...goodbye."
…
"Yuan...Yuan..." Gao Mu pushed Gao Yuan away from the god.
Gao Yuan looked at Gao Mu.
"What's wrong with you?" Gao Mu asked with concern.
Gao Yuan shook his head and avoided his mother's gaze: "It's okay. Mom, you should go back and rest first."
Gao's mother looked at her son, her voice trembling: "Yuan, for more than a year, it has scared me to death. I haven't slept well every night. You said... you said that a good person suddenly became like this."
Already?"
Gao Yuan looked at his haggard and old mother and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Gao Mu wiped her tears, took a deep breath, and said: "Forget it, as long as everything is fine. You, you have had good ideas since you were a child, and you can't listen to what your parents say. When you were 16 years old, you asked me to do it without saying a word.
He joined the army and fought, saying he wanted to liberate the country."
"War is such a dangerous thing. I can't persuade you no matter how hard you go. What can we do if you insist on going? After the liberation of Peiping, you went to university and later became a cadre. We were relieved.
.”
"In the end, something like this happened again. You said... you said..." Gao Mu's tears came down again and she cried: "Mom doesn't ask you to be rich, nor does I ask you to honor your ancestors. Mom just wants you to live well.
, you said if it happens again, I... what should I do..."
Gao Yuan's heart felt as if it had been grabbed hard by a big hand. He turned around and said to his mother: "Mom, nothing will happen to me again."
Gao's mother cried as she looked at her son, who was already a head taller than her.
Gao Yuan said seriously: "I promise!"
…
Watching Gao's mother enter the room, Gao Yuan thought of the time when he was 16 years old and still in school, just because he said "The Chinese people are suffering, we have the responsibility to save them..." Just because he said "For the benefit of the people"
And death is more important than Mount Tai..."
Therefore, before he finished his studies, he decided to join the army.
After the liberation of Peiping, the leaders saw that his cultural level was relatively high and recommended him to go to university. After passing the entrance examination, he entered the literature department and became an intellectual envied by everyone. Unfortunately, fate played another joke on him.
After the man escaped, everyone was investigated, especially Gao Yuan who provided him with the vehicle.
A year later, the man was finally found.
But what was found was a body, so no one could prove his innocence.
Immediately, Gao Yuan ended the review and returned home covered in filth.
I thought I would live like this for the rest of my life, but who knew that I would encounter that turmoil again many years later.
With such a criminal record, there will naturally be no good ending.
Gao Yuan felt deeply powerless when he thought about the era that followed.
Gao Yuan let out a deep breath, looked at the vast black night, and thought of his past life again.
When he came back in his previous life, he was not accepted by the society, so he went to work part-time at a joint clinic, which is how he embarked on the path of traditional Chinese medicine. After ten years of hard work, his medical skills ranked first in the county. Even though he later
Once inside, he was often asked to treat people.
He knew that in the early stages of the founding of New China, the medical and health situation was not optimistic. The population's life expectancy was only 35 years old, and the mortality rate exceeded 3%.
A series of acute infectious diseases such as plague, cholera, measles, smallpox, typhoid, dysentery, macula, dengue fever, diphtheria, etc. continue to threaten the lives and safety of the people. However, in this era, medical resources are extremely scarce.
Most hospitals and doctors are concentrated in big cities, and they are basically in urban areas.
In their county, there is only one hospital and two joint clinics.
In rural areas, there is only one joint clinic in the entire township, with only four doctors in it.
Their township has a population of more than 10,000 people, and the two neighboring townships do not even have a clinic. They share a joint clinic with them. In other words, there are only four doctors in three townships and more than 40,000 people.
There are also some more remote villages that don’t even have a doctor.
This is the situation of medical resources in this era.
Before the 626 Directive, the medical situation in rural areas had been extremely scarce. But now, there are still nine years until the 626 Directive.
"Maybe you want me to come back and do something." Gao Yuan looked at the night sky with deep eyes. He originally thought that he would be destroyed in prison like a puddle of mud. But he didn't expect that God actually gave him a chance.
Incredible opportunity.
"The Chinese people are suffering, and we have the responsibility to save them..." Gao Yuan whispered this article that once changed his destiny. The smug and high-spirited look of him when he was 16 seemed to reappear in front of his eyes.
"people."
After reading these two words, Gao Yuan's dull heart suddenly agitated again.
Once upon a time, it was these two words that changed his mediocre life.
In the future, only two words can change his tragic ending.
Gao Yuan knew very well that if he wanted to escape that turmoil, his only reliance was on the people.
In the era that followed, no relationship could be relied on, and no leadership could be relied on.
The only thing that remains unchanged is the people!
He raised his head and looked at the stars in the sky, feeling unspeakably excited in his heart!
"People!" Gao Yuan read these two words again!
He knew that the only thing that could shine under this starry sky forever was the spirit of serving the people wholeheartedly!
He knows that the only people who can prove his red heart and wash away his filth are the people!
Chapter completed!
