Chapter 352 The Expectations of Hongqi Village
With a burst of gongs and drums, in less than ten minutes, everyone in Hongqi Village was summoned by Su Jianjun to the village's threshing ground.

By this time, it was lunchtime, and some people squatted down with their bowls to listen to the announcement.

Su Jianjun stood on the wooden frame with a serious expression and spoke loudly to the crowd.

“I received news that barefoot doctor training would be available soon. Anyone who passed the training would have the opportunity to become a doctor in the commune and would earn at least fifteen yuan a month.”

After Su Jianjun finished speaking, the villagers of Hongqi Village who were watching immediately erupted in anger.

"Wow, that's fifteen yuan a month!"

"The commune is recruiting doctors, but I've never heard of that."

"Really? Should I let my daughter try it?"

"Why bother trying? Being a doctor isn't that easy. You might make someone sick."

……

The scene was bustling with noise; some were expectant, while others questioned Su Jianjun's words.

Seeing the chaotic scene, Su Jianjun's face darkened, and he tapped the gong in his hand.

After a few thumping sounds, the threshing ground returned to silence.

Su Jianjun cleared his throat and continued.

"The reason I'm telling you this is because there are no educational requirements for barefoot doctor training. Even if you haven't been to school, as long as you pass the training, you may be selected to become a doctor in the commune clinic."

After hearing the selection criteria for barefoot doctors, everyone was dizzy.

Nowadays, most job recruitment exams in the city require a junior high school diploma to be eligible to participate.

Moreover, there are some recruitment exams that these uninformed people simply don't know about.

Having a decent job in the countryside is extremely difficult.

However, this time Su Jianjun directly presented the opportunity to everyone.

Immediately, someone who was interested asked aloud.

"Captain, when does that doctor training program start? Are they really willing to take on people like us who have never been to school?"

Others shared the same question and awaited Su Jianjun's response.

Su Jianjun smiled as he looked at the expectant eyes in the crowd and responded.

"The hospitals above are already selecting trainers. I heard that Beijing has already started training barefoot doctors. We're already late to the game here. So, you don't need to worry."

As soon as Su Jianjun finished speaking, a murmur of discussion broke out among the audience.

“My older brother is the head of the village committee in the next village. How come I’ve never heard of this?”

"Hey, can your family compare to the brigade leader's family? I heard that the brigade leader's daughter, Nuannuan, is a doctor at the county hospital. The brigade leader probably heard about this from his daughter."

"Yes. I saw Nuannuan from the brigade leader's family come back this morning. She hasn't left yet."

"Then this news is most likely true."

"I think it's true. The captain wouldn't lie to us."

"Even if we don't know if it's true or not, so what? Are you willing to give up this opportunity?"

……

A hint of a smile flashed in Su Jianjun's eyes as he watched the restless villagers of Hongqi Village. However, he quickly regained his composure, his expression turning serious as he warned the crowd.

"Although the training of barefoot doctors did not require a certain level of literacy, those who could read would definitely learn faster than those who could not. If you do not pass the barefoot doctor training in the end, don't be sad."

Having been given a heads-up, everyone's enthusiasm for barefoot doctor training waned somewhat.

Su Jianjun looked at everyone and spoke again.

"The barefoot doctor training is expected to start this month. Those who are interested can start practicing their literacy at home beforehand. Don't go there and not even know how to write your own name, making a fool of yourself. By the way, don't tell people in other villages about this yet. I'll let you know when things are settled."

After Su Jianjun finished speaking, he climbed down from the wooden frame. Everyone was interested in the barefoot doctor training that Su Jianjun had described.

Among the crowd, the three Liu sisters, standing together, couldn't hide their excitement.

Liu Pandi grabbed her older sister's hand and said excitedly.

"Big sister, we can give it a try."

Liu Zhaodi and Liu Pandi are both in their mid-twenties. In the past two years, in order to support their younger sister's education, neither of them has gotten married.

There were many people in the village gossiping, but they didn't pay any attention to it.

Liu Xiangdi lived up to her two older sisters' expectations. She graduated from junior high school this year and was admitted to high school.

However, Liu Xiangdi only attended school for a month before she stopped studying, carrying her own food supplies.

It wasn't that she was being bullied, but rather that she didn't want her two older sisters to work so hard so that she could go to school.

Liu Zhaodi and Liu Pandi also learned many characters through Liu Xiangdi.

Based on the books Su Nuannuan had left them, the three sisters had already identified all the herbs on the back mountain.

The three sisters were most looking forward to the barefoot doctor training that Su Jianjun had mentioned.

They are also the three most likely to pass the training in Hongqi Village.

Liu Xiangdi was also very excited.

"Yes, sister, we must give it a try. I think we have a very good chance of succeeding. That way, your marriage with Brother Da Niu will be..."

Liu Xiangdi was interrupted by Liu Zhaodi before she could finish speaking.

"Third sister, stop talking. The most important thing now is the barefoot doctor training. I heard from the brigade leader that passing the training doesn't guarantee you'll become a doctor in the commune. The commune will definitely only choose the best. We need to study hard during this time."

Liu Pandi nodded and said.

"Even if you don't become a doctor in the commune, as long as you get training, treating villagers will be much easier than working in the fields."

Liu Zhaodi nodded, agreeing with her second sister's idea.

After the three finished speaking, they hurried home.

As they passed by their parents' and younger brother's house, the three sisters heard Sun Dahua cursing Liu Xiaobao.

At first, after Liu Xiaobao decided he would not be able to have children, Sun Dahua still felt maternal affection for him.

However, after serving Liu Xiaobao for a few days, Sun Dahua stopped and started beating and scolding her son, whom she had once cherished.

When Liu Yongjun saw this, he wasn't as protective as before.

Every day, he would sit on the stone steps by the door with a gloomy expression.

It wasn't until the news of Sun Dahua's second pregnancy came that Liu Yongjun's gloomy expression dissipated somewhat.

From that point on, Liu Xiaobao completely lost his unique position in the Liu family.

Sun Dahua and Liu Yongjun no longer spoiled him like before, and urged him to go to the fields to earn work points every day.

Liu Xiaobao didn't dare, so Sun Dahua would beat him. Sometimes, Liu Yongjun would also get involved.

Upon hearing the news, the three sisters felt no sympathy whatsoever; instead, they felt a great sense of satisfaction.

What Liu Xiaobao is enduring now is less than one-thousandth of what they endured before.

Apart from the three Liu sisters, everyone in Hongqi Village who could read was urged by their parents to start studying and writing.

This is a perfectly legitimate job position.

No one is unwilling to strive for it.

Since Su Nuannuan revealed this news in advance, she hoped that the young people of Hongqi Village would give it a shot.
