Educated Youth in the Countryside: She is the Village's Embroidery Queen!-Chapter 97: I’m a Cultured Man, After All

"Introduce someone to me too."

He Yunsong refused to be outdone, fearing the girl would run off if he were too slow.

Yi Chichi, ... speechless!

Didn’t want to talk.

Exhausted!

At the rate those two were looking for partners, they’d undoubtedly end up alone.

Someone strong enough to lift and carry them could eliminate ninety percent of women.

The remaining ten percent might be scattered across the world.

He quickened his pace, with Yi Chichi charging forward silently.

Wen Shi, receiving no response, was utterly clueless and caught up with big strides, "Why aren’t you talking?"

"... Nothing to say."

"Are my standards too high?"

"Not at all, take your time to find someone."

Wen Shi frowned, "I detected sarcasm in your voice."

Pretty smart, he actually noticed.

"Mr. Yi..."

"Don’t call me, I don’t know any girl like that."

"You might want to rely on the leaders at your new post and have those spouses introduce someone."

But don’t count on me.

You really can’t count on me.

If there was a girl like that, not only Wen Shi and the others, even I’d like to marry.

"If all else fails, you can have your families keep an eye out."

As she spoke, Yi Chichi recalled a question, "How old are you two?"

"I’m 24, and Old He is a few months younger than me."

So they’re about the same age.

"Don’t worry, at the new post there’d be plenty of people eager to matchmake for you."

Young and talented, impressive in appearance with decent positions, they’re prime catches.

Besides, in their line of work, having a stable family is a major factor in evaluations for promotions.

If the home front is stable, they can forge ahead with vigor.

So, while anyone might lack a partner, Wen Shi and He Yunsong certainly won’t.

Just wait and see, when they get to the new post, not only their direct leaders would be concerned about their marital matters.

The spouses in the family quarters will also play matchmakers.

Unlike in the future with planned birth policies, a family had at least two or three kids, sometimes five or six.

Even if there aren’t any single girls at home, relatives have them.

Those spouses could gather a few random girls to form a unit.

Yi Chichi knew this very well; in her original world, she had firsthand experience with the brothers in Wen Shi’s profession.

"Impossible!"

Wen Shi and He Yunsong simultaneously negated her statement.

"We’re going to open up new lands."

Open up new lands?

Yi Chichi was momentarily stunned. In the present, there were indeed places where land reclamation was discussed...

She calculated the timeline and had a sense of the location of their new post.

Instantly, she stood in awe.

"You’re heroes!"

The total area of our country’s territory is about 9.6 million square kilometers, with a sea area of about 4.37 million square meters.

Protecting the vast sea area with limited equipment is genuinely challenging.

Wen Shi and his group were going from the mightiest northern parts of their homeland to the far southern reaches. A simple matter of acclimatization could make them suffer immensely.

Of course, it was possible their robust constitutions could withstand environmental changes without issue.

No matter what, they were deserving of respect! 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Without the selfless dedication of this generation, pushing past hardships without concern for losses, the prosperity of future generations wouldn’t exist.

This generation laid the foundation for the future’s prosperity.

"If you face unsolvable physical dilemmas, feel free to write me a letter or send a telegram."

"I’ll do everything in my power to resolve your troubles."

She stated earnestly, with a serious attitude while Wen Shi and He Yunsong were stunned by the offer.

Yet they still politely thanked her, assuring that in such circumstances, they’d definitely seek her help.

Yi Chichi nodded, naturally shifting the topic to discuss how to handle snake and insect bites.

And how to manage acclimatization issues, diarrhea, abdominal pain, skin problems, heatstroke, etc.

Wen Shi and the others didn’t think much about her changing the subject, only thinking she was kindhearted and willing to teach them knowledge.

They absolutely didn’t suspect she had guessed the location of their new post.

Though it had been over 20 years since the country’s founding, many people might not have ventured beyond the county towns; in fact, many had their first opportunity to visit urban areas only by the millennium.

At present, most people were familiar only with their birthplaces, and crossing thousands of kilometers, spanning north to south, to grasp the local customs was daunting.

Or the differences in diet.

But Wen Shi and his group returned from border regions, aware of varying geographical conditions in different areas, and had endured the discomfort resulting from acclimatization and climate alterations.

The knowledge Yi Chichi imparted could precisely address those issues, though they didn’t dare to comment on the effectiveness without firsthand experience, their sharp intuition made them memorize it well.

There was a strong feeling these insights would be invaluable someday.

Yi Chichi wasn’t aware of this; she racked her brain imparting peculiar remedies that were very effective and easy to practice, then made a final summary.

"You could carry some soil when you set off."

"??? Why?"

"So when you have acclimatization problems, you could soak some water with the soil from your hometown and drink it. It works."

"Alright, we’ll take some soil with us."

They were quite receptive.

Amidst the banter, they arrived at the medical station. With the good weather today, Uncle Yaozi didn’t go out, instead placed his rocking chair at the door and laid there enjoying the sun.

Perched on his waist was a tabby cat.

This cat was truly magnificent, its fur sleek and glossy, its physique robust, and its fur slightly longer than the tabby cats Yi Chichi had seen in the south.

The cat’s hearing was keen; before they even approached, it meowed and suddenly darted away.

"Remember to come back for dinner tonight."

Uncle Yaozi opened his eyes and shouted, the tabby cat seemed to understand, howling and disappearing from Yi Chichi and their sight.

"What brings you three youngsters here?"

"Borrowing a space to learn something from Mr. Yi."

Honesty was Wen Shi’s forte, he spoke candidly, causing Uncle Yaozi’s eyes to brighten, "Learning medicine?"

Yi Chichi’s mouth twitched, "No, I don’t know medicine, can’t teach."

"Didn’t you read the Barefoot Doctor’s Manual?"

"I did."

"But you don’t know medicine?"

"Theoretical knowledge without practical experience isn’t valid medicine."

This statement made a lot of sense.

A doctor who hasn’t treated a single patient can’t be considered a real doctor.

Indeed not suitable for teaching anyone.

"Then what are you learning?"

Wen Shi and He Yunsong simultaneously looked at Yi Chichi, clearly trying to gauge whether to tell the truth.

Yi Chichi calmly responded, "Hypnosis."

"What kind of thing?"

Uncle Yaozi cleaned his ears, feeling suddenly alert, "Similar to Zuyou Skill hypnosis?"

Yi Chichi raised an eyebrow, "Uncle, you know quite a bit."

Indeed, Zuyou Skill and hypnosis are quite similar.

Zuyou isn’t pure medicine; it possesses a mystical aura of sorcery.

Its scope is vast, capable of invoking deities and curing illnesses alike.

When a Master Zuyou treats patients, they may recite some incantations to ease the patient’s mental defenses, allowing them to express the root causes of their ailments and entrenched concerns to alleviate their feelings.

Resolving the issues.

Zuyou holds an indispensable place in both psychology and medicine.

It aligns perfectly with hypnosis.

Feeling underestimated, Uncle Yaozi barked back, "Get lost, I’m at least a cultured person."
