The legend of a country doctor

My mother was a village doctor, commonly known as a barefoot doctor, and my mother worked as a village doctor all her life, and her life experience was a legend in that era.

My mother is 80 years old this year, she is still very tough, there are some geriatric diseases, high blood pressure, diabetes, coronary heart disease, are not very heavy, taking medicine can control very well. Today, she lives alone in an old house in the countryside, although her children can't often accompany her, but she can fully take care of herself, our sisters come home to visit her every week, she is used to living alone, and she is very happy every day.

My mother lost her mother when she was 2 years old, and my mother lived with my grandfather, who liked to drink and did not do the right thing, often sending her mother to her grandmother's house and ignoring it. When he reached the age of school, his mother went to school to study, she was smart and studious, she read very well, the old man liked him very much, but whenever he wanted to collect tuition, grandpa said that he still needed money to go to school, and if he didn't go, he made a little money and went to drink, where there was money to pay tuition to his mother. So the mother is often suspended from school at home, the teacher likes her to study well, he called her back again, free of tuition, the mother still reads this good teacher, without her, the mother did not learn.

Later, grandpa married grandma, the mother's hard life is still continuing, after grandma has her own daughter, often abuse the mother, early in the morning let the young mother go up the mountain to work, go home to burn the fire to cook, she and her daughter sleep at home, the mother does not do well, but also scolded, not enough to eat, not warm in the era, the mother survived strongly. In junior high school, my mother had to walk more than ten miles to school, one round and one a day. However, my mother still insisted on going to school and reading without interruption. My mother also studied Russian, and her homework was very good, but my grandfather refused to let her continue her studies, and dropped out of junior high school.

Fortunately, my mother and father married, married to my father at the age of 18, my grandfather is an old Chinese medicine doctor, the medicine shop opened at home, ten miles and eight townships have come to him for medical treatment, the family conditions are better, after the mother married over, the grandfather let her continue to study, just like this, the mother finished high school, trained in the county hospital for half a year, and returned to the village to become a rural doctor.

Since I can remember, my mother worked in the clinic during the day, and was often awakened by knocks at night, often not returning overnight, and when I woke up in the morning, I heard that whoever had a male baby again, the mother went to deliver others, and the children in the village were delivered by the mother. Mothers never took anything. Now it costs eighteen thousand yuan to give birth to a child, and at that time, how much money did the mother give birth to the villagers! I remember one time, my mother stayed up all night and was very happy when she came back. It turned out that a neighbor gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, and the mother said excitedly that she had just given birth to a girl, but after a while, another one came, a boy. It was the only pair of twins my mother had ever given birth to, and now I think about how dangerous it is. There was also a year of new year's day to deliver people, gave birth to a big boy. Her mother has been working all year round, but she has no complaints or regrets, and she is very happy to relieve the pain of the people in the village.

Mother in the village is also a cultural person, the mother can still skillfully memorize the 24 solar terms song, a young man in the village said to a few old people, who can recite the 24 solar terms, I invited guests, the mother said, I can, she easily memorized it, the young man was very surprised, did not fulfill his promise.

Now my mother's old age is very relaxed and happy. A few years ago we bought her a smartphone, there is an Internet at home, my mother often plays headlines at home, watches the news, and she knows all the major events in the world. My mother was concerned about national affairs, and her favorite show was the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. Now I often shop online, I can buy my favorite things without leaving home, and I often help the elderly in the village to shop for it!

Her mother has been a village doctor all her life, and she has always been responsive to the people in the village, and now that the state has given her subsidies, she is very happy and content, and it can be said that her hard work for more than thirty years has finally paid off.

I hope my mother will live a long and healthy life and enjoy her old age in peace!
