"Hearing your words is better than reading ten years of books! Today I finally believe this saying!" Town Chief Liang said emotionally.
These problems that had been unresolved all along, he never expected to hear an explanation from a young girl, and after the explanation, he realized it was so simple and easy to understand.
No wonder Secretary An could call the young girl "Little Sir."
The young girl truly deserved the title of "Little Sir."
In an era when medical knowledge was not widespread, emergency methods were available in the countryside.
However, using traditional folk methods, very few people were actually saved.
Tongliang was a water town, and many people knew how to swim, but there were also quite a few drownings every year.
This problem had been troubling them all along.
Especially Town Chief Liang Lizhong, who was distressed by it, having pulled out quite a bit of his hair.
Director Du, who had initially looked down on Su Xiaotian, now also had less disdain for her.
There was no other way; this emergency method might be of great practical value and could potentially solve many problems.
"Little Sir, I would like to ask you, besides drowning, are there other emergency methods? For example, being bitten by snakes, insects, rats, or ants while on the mountain, or falling unconscious due to accidental injury?"
For some reason, Town Chief Liang suddenly asked this question.
After asking, Town Chief Liang realized that his question might not have been appropriate.
Whether or not there were similar methods, he shouldn't have asked. This was a skill each person possessed, and there was no reason to tell everyone.
However, Su Xiaotian didn't care at all.
Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. She hadn't realized before that some very basic first-aid knowledge had not been disseminated in rural areas, so she naturally hadn't thought of sharing it.
Now that she had discovered it, she was naturally willing to let more people know how to perform first aid and thus have a chance to survive.
"Naturally, there are."
Hearing Su Xiaotian's answer, Town Chief Liang suddenly felt that there was hope.
However, was this young girl really willing to teach so much knowledge to the villagers for free?
"We may not have any decent gifts to thank you with."
Town Chief Liang's words naturally carried a hint of probing.
Su Xiaotian smiled brightly and said, "It's worth it if it can save lives. I don't want your reward. On the contrary, I hope this knowledge can be widely disseminated."
Town Chief Liang was overjoyed upon hearing this.
The joy on his face in that instant made Su Xiaotian feel his delight.
"Thank you so much, Little Sir," Town Chief Liang said sincerely.
Su Xiaotian clearly hadn't expected that Town Chief Liang, as a local leader, would also call her "Little Sir" like Secretary An.
"Town Chief Liang, I just don't have much time and may not be able to spare much time for explanations. If possible, could you organize something, and I can give a day-long lecture? What do you think?" Su Xiaotian thought this was the most time-saving method.
Town Chief Liang was even happier.
Just then, Shen Zizhen entered with Su Sangong, followed by a young man Su Xiaotian had never met.
Town Chief Liang also knew Shen Zizhen and hurried to greet him upon seeing him.
"Teacher Shen, you're here! Please have a seat. Your student is truly excellent!"
Shen Zizhen hadn't heard their earlier conversation and was quite puzzled at this moment.
How was his student excellent? Moreover, Xiaotian, strictly speaking, wasn't his student.
But this was not the time to explain this matter.
"You are too polite. Town Chief Liang is also here today. Coincidentally, I have something to discuss with you." As Shen Zizhen said this, his eyes subconsciously glanced at the young man standing behind him.
The young man's face showed indignation and unwillingness, as well as some fear.
In short, various expressions were gathered on one face, making it very intriguing.
Su Xiaotian observed the person for a long time but couldn't figure anything out from his face, so she gave up and listened to Shen Zizhen speak.
"Teacher Shen, I heard you arrived yesterday, so I immediately brought a few comrades to see if you need anything. If you do, please just say it, and I will handle it."
As soon as Town Chief Liang finished speaking, Shen Zizhen spoke without any politeness.
"Since Town Chief Liang says so, I won't be polite. Town Chief, please take Mao Xiaoming back. If there is truly no suitable candidate, I will find someone in the village. If there is a suitable person who can handle this job, Town Chief can recommend them, but it is essential to ensure they have good character."
Obviously, Shen Zizhen was furious, and his expression was still indignant as he said this.
Su Xiaotian was very surprised by this. She knew that Shen Zizhen had experienced many hardships, and his entire demeanor had become peaceful. Even when his two students had done those things, Shen Zizhen had only expelled them from the team, and that was it.
It was rare for him to show such disrespect.
The meaning of these words was very clear: he did not want this person named Mao Xiaoming because of his character issues.
When a person is deemed to have character problems, it is a serious matter.
According to Teacher Shen's personality, even if the person's character was indeed bad, he would probably use other reasons.
What exactly did Mao Xiaoming do?
Not only was Su Xiaotian confused, but Town Chief Liang was also bewildered.
What was going on?
He looked at Mao Xiaoming and then at Shen Zizhen with a thousand words unsaid.
Mao Xiaoming was a relative of the town's secretary. After the research base was established, Shen Zizhen needed someone to be in charge of this area and asked the leaders of Tongliang Town for help.
How long had it been? Why did Shen Zizhen no longer want Mao Xiaoming?
Town Chief Liang looked at Mao Xiaoming, and Mao Xiaoming's face was also full of anger.
"Teacher Shen, is there perhaps a misunderstanding?" Town Chief Liang said hesitantly.
If he took the person back like this, Town Chief Liang felt he couldn't explain it to the secretary.
After all, Mao Xiaoming was a relative of the secretary. You don't hit a dog without looking at its owner, right?
"Whether it's a misunderstanding, Town Chief Liang can ask Mao Xiaoming himself."
Shen Zizhen himself didn't want to continue discussing this topic. He had seen many children in his life, but he had never seen someone like this before.
If such a morally corrupt person continued to stay at the research base, it would eventually ruin the research base.
Therefore, Shen Zizhen, even knowing he was the secretary's relative, still asked to send Mao Xiaoming back without any reservation.
Mao Xiaoming was also very angry, not expecting Shen Zizhen to show him no mercy at all.
Didn't he know the principle that a strong dragon doesn't suppress a local snake?
His maternal uncle was the top leader of the town, meaning everyone in this place had to listen to his uncle.
Even if Shen Zizhen came from the capital, as long as he came here, he had to listen to his uncle.
