Reborn in 1977

Right next to the guest house was a state-run restaurant. After enjoying a delicious meal, Chen Fan asked around for the location of a barber shop and managed to get a haircut before it closed.

The barber wore a white coat and a mask, resembling the cooks in the cafeteria. Inside, there were two long rows of barber chairs, with large glass mirrors on the walls and barber tools on a long counter beneath the mirrors. It looked decent from afar, but up close, you could see scattered hair clippings.

A haircut cost 3 mao, no ticket needed. After paying and getting a ticket, Chen Fan closed his eyes and sat in a corner barber chair covered in hair clippings, casually choosing an outdated hairstyle and letting the barber do his work.

He hadn't had a haircut in months, and his hair was covering his eyes and ears. If he didn't wash his hair every day, he would probably look scruffy. There was a state-run barber shop in Nanhuzhen, but Chen Fan hadn't had time to go. Since he was in Yunhu this time, he took the opportunity to get a haircut.

Sporting his new haircut, he returned to the guest house to shower and wash his clothes, staying busy until 9 p.m. before going to bed.

The next morning at 6 a.m., Chen Fan woke up on time due to his biological clock.

He first took his towel and toothbrush to the washroom to wash up. When he returned, Zhang Juemin and Zhang Wenliang were also getting up.

Chen Fan put his things away and retrieved the new clothes he had washed the night before from the window. They were in good shape; the night breeze had dried them. By the time Zhang Juemin and the others returned, he had already changed.

As soon as Zhang Wenliang entered the room, he froze in place.

Zhang Juemin pushed him from behind, "Come on, what are you blocking the doorway for?"

Then he also saw the transformed Chen Fan.

The ordinary three-seven parted hairstyle, on Chen Fan's face, gave off the feeling of a movie actor. He was wearing a white long-sleeved shirt, dark blue slacks, and brand-new leather shoes.

Chen Fan picked up his dacron blend shirt, gently shook it, and casually draped it over his shoulders, what a handsome young man!

Zhang Wenliang couldn't help but smack his lips, "If you go out looking like that, you're bound to charm all the young ladies and young wives on the street!"

Zhang Juemin put down his washbasin and looked at Chen Fan with admiration, "No wonder you insisted on buying clothes yesterday. These clothes really make a difference."

Before, Chen Fan wore soft homespun clothes, which were not only wrinkled but also hung loosely on his body. They didn't look nearly as sharp as these clothes.

Chen Fan accepted their compliments without reservation. He slung his leather bag over his shoulder, put the other items into his travel bag, took out the remaining rice balls, and smiled at them, "Thank you for the compliments. You guys can have a few more rice balls later."

As he spoke, he was about to leave.

Zhang Juemin was slightly taken aback, "Where are you going?"

Chen Fan turned halfway around and smiled at him, "Going to borrow a pot to heat up the rice, didn't you say we need to save money?"

Zhang Juemin immediately gave him a thumbs up, "Yes, that's right."

Before long, Chen Fan returned, and the three of them finished all the rice balls with the hot water in the room, which counted as breakfast.

Seeing that it was almost time, they checked out of the guest house and set off for the Health Bureau.

Zhang Wenliang and Zhang Juemin endured their discomfort and took a few stops on the bus. Finally, they got off the bus one stop before reaching the Health Bureau. After a bout of retching, the three of them continued on their way.

After walking for about ten minutes, they saw a three-story building. Above the entrance of the building were several large characters made of cement, "Yunhu City Health Bureau." The three of them knew they had arrived.

The Health Bureau didn't even have a security guard; the gate was wide open, allowing people to enter and exit freely.

However, a large organization was still a large organization, and it didn't change just because the office building was small. The clean walls, smooth floors, and brightly shining windows all gave people a sense of inexplicable dignity.

Chen Fan looked at the two of them and saw that they were both a little timid, so he smiled, raised his hand, pointed inside, and said, "We're here, let's go in."

After speaking, he stepped onto the steps and walked inside.

Zhang Wenliang and Zhang Juemin exchanged a look and quickly followed behind.

Once inside, Chen Fan looked around. Many people were already at work, walking back and forth in a hurry, seemingly very busy.

Chen Fan was about to ask someone when a voice came from beside him, "Who are you looking for?"

Hearing the voice, he looked over and saw a young man of about thirty looking at them curiously. He quickly took out the letter of introduction he had prepared and said with a smile, "Hello, I am Chen Fan from the Lujiawan Production Team of the Nanhugongshe in Guofeng County…"

Before he could finish speaking, the young man looked at him with surprise, "You're Chen Fan? Why are you so young?"

After a pause, he realized that his words seemed a bit inappropriate, so he quickly explained, "Hello, hello, my name is Yan Liyuan. I am responsible for medical service standards and medical science education in the bureau. I was the first to come across the emergency manual you compiled and then reported it to the leaders."

He looked at Chen Fan with admiration, "We all thought that the person who wrote this manual was an old doctor. We didn't expect you to be so young."

At this time, several people around heard his words and rushed over. Someone looked at Chen Fan from the side and asked, "Really? He's Chen Fan?"

"So young?"

"Really?"

Zhang Juemin, hearing the doubts from the side, immediately became unhappy. Ignoring everything else, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Comrade Yan, right? The emergency manual you mentioned was recorded by me in class after listening to Teacher Chen's lectures. I can guarantee to Mr. Li that there is absolutely not a single word of falsehood."

Yan Liyuan came back to his senses and turned to look at Zhang Juemin, "You are Comrade Zhang Juemin?"

Zhang Juemin nodded vigorously, "That's me."

Chen Fan's expression remained unchanged. He was indeed young. In the medical profession, where "the older, the more valuable," it was normal for others to have doubts. Anyway, as long as he could prove that he really had the ability in this area, they would naturally have nothing to say.

After everyone quieted down, he pushed the introduction letter in his hand forward again, "This is the introduction letter from our production team, and the certificate written by Director Wang of the South Lake Health Center."

Yan Liyuan quickly took it, glanced at it briefly, then raised his head and said embarrassedly, "Sorry, sorry, I misunderstood."

He looked around again, then reached out and pointed forward, "Look, this isn't the place to talk. Let's go to my office and sit down first. The leader will be here later."

Chen Fan naturally had no objections and followed him inside.

The others didn't disperse, but gathered in place, watching their backs and discussing in low voices.

"If you said the old one was Chen Fan, I'd think it was normal, but it turned out to be the young one. Today is really an eye-opener."

"Medical skills are either real or fake. You can't fake the real thing, and you can't make the fake thing real. When Director Hao comes over, you'll know if it's real or fake after chatting with him for a few words."

"Since he dares to come, he's definitely not afraid of you testing him. I guess this young man must be capable."

"Okay, okay, it's useless for you to guess here. If you ask me, you should hurry up and find out if this little Doctor Chen is married. If he isn't, then we've struck gold!"

"As expected of someone in political work, Sister Zhou, you're the one!"

...

Chen Fan and the other two followed Yan Liyuan into the office. Yan Liyuan closed the door and shut out the outside discussions. After inviting them to sit down, he picked up the thermos and made tea for them, while smiling, "You came so early. Did you arrive last night?"

Zhang Juemin took the initiative to answer, nodding and saying, "Yes, we arrived yesterday afternoon. We were afraid you'd be off work, so we found a guest house and stayed overnight, then rushed over early this morning."

Yan Liyuan placed the water cups in front of them, then pulled a chair over and sat opposite them, smiling, "You don't know, our bureau has been eagerly awaiting you. Even if you arrived in the middle of the night, we'd guarantee to receive you perfectly."

Hearing this, the little displeasure in Zhang Juemin and Zhang Wenliang's hearts dissipated slightly.

After a pause, he turned to look at the calm Chen Fan, then looked at Yan Liyuan and said seriously, "Comrade Yan, I'll be frank with you. Our Teacher Chen's skills are extraordinary. I won't go into detail about what he can do, but I can guarantee that he taught me all the first aid knowledge. That's definitely not fake."

Zhang Wenliang also chimed in, "Teacher Chen is also a cultured person. Have you read the 'Jiangnan Literature' published this month? The 'On the Field of Hope' inside is Teacher Chen's work. This month's issue is only the first part, and there are several more issues coming. Moreover, Teacher Chen is still writing. Why would he pretend to be a doctor? No matter how great a doctor is, he's not necessarily nobler than a great writer, right..."

Chen Fan's expression froze for a moment, and he quickly said, "Don't say that. There's no distinction between noble and lowly in professions. And for the general public, doctors are definitely more important. Treating illnesses and saving people is definitely something writers can't compare to."

Yan Liyuan looked at Chen Fan in surprise, "I've actually read that article. So it was written by you. My respects!"

Chen Fan was about to say a few words of modesty when he heard him say, "I once again apologize for the questioning just now."

Yan Liyuan looked at the three of them and said seriously, "The main reason is that the first aid methods recorded in this first aid manual do have very high practical value. The other content is fine, but the most important thing is the airway foreign body removal method. There hasn't been a good solution for this in the country before, which has caused many unnecessary deaths.

According to records, more than 3,000 people die each year from suffocation caused by foreign objects entering the respiratory tract. There are even more that are not recorded. Many times, these patients die in the emergency room. With the airway blocked, the time left for doctors to rescue is too short. The doctor's surgery isn't even ready yet, and the patient has already..."

Speaking of this, he sighed slightly, then raised his head to look at Chen Fan, "After we received the first aid manual reported by Gufeng County, we verified it as soon as possible and summoned the directors of the emergency departments of the hospitals directly under the Health Department to come and study and discuss it together.

It was a coincidence that after the study session ended that day, Director Du of the First Hospital encountered a patient whose airway was blocked. He immediately used the 'airway foreign body removal method' to rescue him. In just a few seconds, he removed the foreign object from the patient's throat. No further treatment was needed, and the patient was able to recover and leave on their own.

The value of this method is too great. He immediately reported it to the bureau. In the following days, the Municipal Chinese Medicine Hospital and the Third People's Hospital also used this set of first aid methods to rescue two patients. That's why we hope you can come and personally guide us in this set of first aid methods.

In addition, if possible, we hope to compile this first aid manual into a complete medical book, on the one hand to promote it in the medical system, and on the other hand to facilitate its promotion to the public, so that more people can master these methods.

After all, many times, patients can't hold out until they get to the hospital. If someone nearby knows how to use this set of methods, they can perform emergency rescue and save more lives."

After saying a lot, Yan Liyuan looked at Chen Fan with a solemn expression and said, "If you agree, our director has decided that this book can be named 'Chen's First Aid Method'."

Hearing this, Zhang Juemin and Zhang Wenliang's eyes lit up. So our Teacher Chen is going to be famous all over the country?

Chen Fan was sweating profusely and quickly waved his hand, "No, no, no, no, definitely not. Many first aid methods are actually readily available. I just put them together. I definitely don't deserve this name."
