Chapter 136 Lou Xiao'e enters the hospital and writing is completed
Dozens of people in front of me.

Some are young, only in their twenties, while the older ones are already in their forties or fifties.

Some of them looked at Wang Mengde with admiration, while others looked at him with curiosity.

Everyone present had heard of his reputation, and those in the institute often met him. Only a few who were seconded from outside had never met him before.

"Everyone already knows our mission this time. Let me briefly emphasize it."

Wang Mengde stood up and said loudly to everyone:
“The manual compiled this time is different from the medical books that everyone is familiar with. We must abandon the previous inertial thinking and write this book so that people without any medical background can understand and learn it.

The language of this manual is as simple and easy to understand as possible, using the most simple principles to make it easy for laymen to get started, so that they can diagnose and treat common diseases with this book. "

His words made dozens of people look at each other in bewilderment.

Before they first came, they were only told that they were to write a medical book and thought that they just had to follow the methods of their predecessors. But after Wang Mengde stated his requirements, they found that was not the case.

They had never seen this kind of medical book before, and had no samples to use as reference. They were unsure about where to start.

Seeing that no one spoke, Wang Mengde naturally guessed the reason, so he continued: "Don't worry, I already have an outline in my mind on how to write this manual.

I will now assign tasks to everyone. Anyone who has different opinions or good suggestions can raise them. "

As he spoke, he began to assign tasks to everyone.

Most of these people were colleagues from the Chinese Medical Research Institute. He had already made a brief understanding of who was good at what a few days ago. As for those who were seconded from outside, Mr. Pu also gave him an explanation.

Tasks were assigned based on each person's characteristics and combined with the contents of the previous life's "Barefoot Doctor Manual".

He has an amazing memory, and when assigning tasks, he speaks fluently without any hesitation, and his words are extremely accurate.

After everyone had their tasks, he said to his eight junior brothers and sisters, "You guys are responsible for the 'common Chinese herbal medicines' section. You need to describe them in easy-to-understand terms and provide pictures."

As for himself, he was going to write the chapter on 'Acupuncture and Massage', and at the same time he would also review the content written by others.

If there is anything inappropriate, it must be corrected in time.

Finally, Wang Mengde encouraged: "During this period, everyone needs to work hard. Let's work hard and compile this manual as soon as possible."

After that, dozens of them entered a busy state.

We spend most of the day together writing the content we are responsible for.

The busiest one is Wang Mengde.

Not only does he have to write the chapter on 'Acupuncture and Massage', he is also responsible for reviewing content written by others.

In the first few days, everyone was feeling their way forward, often bringing in previous thinking and involuntarily writing more profound content.

This requires him to discover and correct it in time.

In the evening, after others have gone off work, he is still working overtime in the research institute.

I don't get home until very late every day.

Gradually, other people also noticed this phenomenon, and they all took the initiative to stay and work overtime.

Seeing that everyone was so proactive, Wang Mengde organized them to get together after get off work to review and discuss the day's work content.

Everyone spoke freely and expressed their ideas and suggestions.

Make sure to discover and correct problems in time.

This method is indeed very effective. With the review every night, everyone gradually adapted to their respective work content and the writing speed became faster and faster.

Of course, the fastest one was Wang Mengde, who took him more than half a month to complete the content of the small chapter "Acupuncture and Massage".

At present, even he is not clear about the level of his acupuncture and massage skills.

Mainly because there is no reference.

Take acupuncture for example. Vice President Zhu's skills are already among the best in the country, but now, in his eyes, there are still many shortcomings.

After finishing writing his part of the content, he was not idle. Instead, he took time out to see patients at Guang'anmen Hospital and assist others.

Especially in the two classification chapters of internal medicine and infectious diseases, he gave a lot of suggestions, which made the people in charge admire him greatly.

late July.

Sunday morning.

Wang Mengde had a rare rest today, so he took his two sons with him, fanning themselves with palm-leaf fans, to enjoy the cool air under the big locust tree at the entrance of the alley.

Many people gathered under the shade of the trees, some chatting about family matters, some playing chess. When the breeze blew, the fragrance of locust flowers went straight into the nose.

At this time, not far away, Xu Damao came over pushing a bicycle, with a girl following him.

When they got closer, someone with sharp eyes saw the two of them and said with a smile: "Hey, Damao, who is this girl?"

"Hey, this is my girlfriend, Lou Xiao'e. I brought her to visit my home today."

Xu Damao stopped and explained with a cheerful look on his face.

Recently, the relationship between him and Lou Xiao'e has been heating up rapidly, and Lou Tan's impression of him has become better and better. Seeing that his wife and daughter are willing, Lou Bancheng reluctantly begins to give in.

The two families had discussed the engagement and marriage plans a few days ago.

The result of the discussion was that the wedding date was tentatively set for October.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Xu Damao became interested. Although his girlfriend was not the best-looking in the compound and her family background was not good, she had a good family background.

So he found a day off and brought Lou Xiao'e to the courtyard to show off.

By the way, he also attacked his mortal enemy Sha Zhu.

Hearing that the girl in front of them was his girlfriend, everyone looked at her carefully with curiosity.

The girl looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a round face, a plump figure, a floral dress, and a bow on her head. She had an outstanding temperament and was obviously not like an ordinary girl.

She was looking around curiously, and when she saw Wang Mengde, her eyes instantly brightened up. Then, when she saw the two children beside him, her expression fell again.

"Da Mao, sure. No wonder you weren't in a hurry to find a partner before. It turns out there's a good one waiting for you."

"Da Mao, where is the girl from and what is her job?"

"Come and chat for a while."

When the aunts and sisters saw them, they immediately perked up and greeted them quickly.

"Hehe." Xu Damao smiled proudly, and then said: "Aunties and aunties, I have to go home first, and come back when I have time."

As he spoke, he walked forward with his head held high, and motioned Lou Xiao'e beside him to follow.

After he left, everyone started asking who this girl belonged to. Unfortunately, after discussing for a long time, no one came to any conclusion.

Although Wang Mengde knew it in his heart, he did not say it out loud.

It was almost noon, and he thought it was time for lunch, so he took his two sons home. As soon as they arrived at the front yard, they were stopped by Yan Bugui, who was fiddling with the pots of flowers at the door.

"Meng De, you were not in the yard just now, so you didn't see Xu Damao coming back with a beautiful girl. Guess who that girl belongs to."

Yan Bugui felt extremely jealous. Why did all the good things go to the Xu family? Fate was so unfair.

Having a Wang Mengde in the courtyard is already enviable enough, and now, the Xu family is also starting to become prosperous.

When will it be their turn?

“Whose is this?

Just now, when I was enjoying the cool air at the entrance of the alley, I saw Xu Damao walking into the courtyard with a girl. He didn’t say anything when I asked him, and was very mysterious.

Wang Mengde held his two sons in his arms and asked, pretending not to know.

"She's a girl from the Lou family." Yan Bugui replied with great sorrow. Fearing that Wang Mengde didn't know, he explained, "She's the Lou family from Loubancheng. The steel mill used to belong to them."

He couldn't understand why Xu Damao, with his horse face, could find such a good girl.

Although the Lou family's background was not good and all their businesses had been merged into public-private partnerships, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, so the family must have had considerable assets.

Even a little bit that leaks out from between your fingers would be enough for an ordinary family to eat for a lifetime.

Not to mention anything else, the Lou family has a lot of real estate in Beijing, and the public-private joint ventures also receive a large amount of dividends every year.

If his own Jie Cheng found a girl from the Lou family, he would wake up with joy at night.

"Girl from the Lou family, Xu Damao is going to be rich.

Although the steel mill is no longer managed by the Lou family, they still have shares in it, and many of their former connections are still working in the steel mill.

With these connections, it will be hard for Xu Damao not to make progress in the future."

Wang Mengde said with a look of surprise.

These words really touched Yan Bugui's heart. He took a few deep breaths, stood there in a daze, and forgot to speak for a moment.

Middle Court.

Many neighbors who came to eat early held their bowls and steamed buns in their hands, and gathered together to gossip while eating.

When Xu Damao brought Lou Xiao'e into the yard in the morning, he deliberately showed off loudly for a long time in front of Sha Zhu's house.

Wang Mengde’s home.

At the dinner table, several people were talking about Xu Damao.

"I've seen that girl, and she's not that pretty. Not to mention our Shengnan, she's not even as pretty as Qin Huairu next door."

Ran Xiaomei fed each of her two grandsons two mouthfuls of rice, and then spoke in a low voice.

In the morning, as soon as Lou Xiao'e entered the yard, she caused a sensation.

Everybody ran to watch the fun, even a few families next door who worked at the steel rolling mill came over. After all, she was a girl from Lou Bancheng, and they wanted to see what she looked like.

"Mom, that girl is pretty, as expected of a girl from a wealthy family. She dresses differently from us."

He Shengnan also whispered beside her.

She thought that the girl from the Lou family was quite good-looking, especially her temperament, which was much better than the other young girls and wives in the area.

"That girl looks very innocent. She will regret marrying Xu Damao someday."

Ran Xiaomei curled her lips and said again.

She has always had a bad impression of Xu Damao, thinking that the child was petty and that when he grew up he would be just like Old Xu, full of bad intentions.

"Okay, stop talking about other people's families."

Wang Hao saw that she was saying bad things about Xu Damao again, and was afraid that the children at home would hear it and spread it outside, so he interrupted her quickly.

They were chatting at home. At this time, in the shade of the middle courtyard, Sha Zhu was saying loudly:
"Humph, Xu Damao must have used sweet words to deceive the girl. Once the girl understands his character, she will definitely break up with him."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Damao, who came from the backyard, heard it.

"Silly Zhu, you're just jealous that I found a partner.

I am planning to get married this October. You are one year older than me and you don’t even have a partner. You are such a failure.”

"Bah, Sha Mao, I just don't want to look for one. If I wanted to look for one, I could find a girl better than you in a few minutes." Sha Zhu said stubbornly.

Although his words were spoken harshly, his tone clearly contained some harshness.

Xu Damao also heard it, he chuckled and said: "Silly Zhu, you are just being stubborn, if you have the ability, find a partner this year, don't wait until I get married and you are still single.

In fact, if you ask me, you might as well learn from Uncle Daqing and find a widow to help you. This can be considered as following in your father's footsteps. You can become a father right after you get married. How great is that."

After saying that, he ignored Sha Zhu's scolding and ran to the toilet outside the yard.

Early the next morning.

After breakfast, He Shengnan and I rode our bicycles westward along the alley.

Along the way, new slogans appeared on the walls on both sides.

When I saw the big words "Three years of hard work, basically changing the appearance", I combined it with the recent wind direction I saw in the newspaper.

He knew that the wheel of history would always roll forward, and what was supposed to come would eventually come.

As a small wave in this great era, no matter how hard he splashes, he can't create much waves, let alone stop anything.

When he arrived at the Chinese Medical Research Institute, Wang Mengde was happy to see dozens of people who had arrived early and were busy with their work. He did not expect things to go so smoothly.

Almost three months have passed since the task of writing the manual began.

Through their concerted efforts, this work gradually came to an end.

Except for the three chapters "How to Prevent Disease", "How to Understand and Treat Disease" and "Handling Acute Diseases", which are still supplementing some content, the remaining twenty-odd chapters have been written.

Of course, these have also been reviewed by him.

Compared with the first edition of the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual" in the previous life, the manual they compiled this time not only has several more chapters in content, but also exceeds others in quality.

Originally, President Lu gave them four months to complete the task, but now they have to exceed the deadline.

Thinking of this, Wang Mengde became full of energy.

Another week passed, and that afternoon, Wang Mengde raised his head and nodded vigorously.

In the office, everyone cheered loudly upon seeing this.

After more than three months of hard work, the first draft of this manual was finally completed.
