Chapter 29, Makes sense
On the way back to the steel plant, Zhao Mancang sat on the back seat of a bicycle with a bag in his arms.

There were some potatoes and vegetables in the bag, which were the specialties of the Huaishuling Production Team.

Just because Zhao Mancang helped their production team to rescue the yellow cow, team leader Liu Changge was very happy, so he directly gave him potatoes and vegetables to express his gratitude.

Well, this is extra money for Zhao Mancang, the real reward has not been given yet.

The importance of oxen in this era is unquestionable, so no matter how much compensation Zhao Mancang is given, it is worth it.

At the steel plant, Wu Huamin was speechless when he saw Zhao Mancang bringing back more than 20 kilograms of potatoes and vegetables.

"Is Captain Liu planning to use this as medical expenses?"

"Director, I don't know about this. Anyway, Captain Liu told me to bring this back."

Zhao Mancang spoke honestly without hiding anything.

It couldn't be concealed, after all, Jiang Dayong had gone with them.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Director Yang came to see me this afternoon. Two horses from the neighboring unit were injured, and they're pretty serious. I want you to go over and help take a look later."

After hearing Wu Huamin's words, Zhao Mancang was speechless.

"Director, I'm not a veterinarian. Are you totally mistaking me for a veterinarian?"

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? That's the task assigned by the leader, just go."

Well, the leader just needs one word and the subordinates will run around.

Who makes people the leaders?

Zhao Mancang had no choice but to agree.

The potatoes and vegetables were divided up, and a small half was left in Zhao Mancang's hands.

After the distribution, it was time to get off work, and at this time, Yang Shourong happened to come over.

"Xiao Zhao, your Director Wu told you, right?"

"Director Yang, the director has told me that I'm ready and can leave at any time."

Yang Shourong immediately smiled and nodded, giving a thumbs up in praise.

As the deputy director of the steel plant, Yang Shourong certainly had a car, but it was just a very old jeep.

Even so, such a car is a symbol of status in this era.

After Zhao Mancang got in the car, he sat a little stiffly. He was performing for Yang Shourong.

As for this jeep, it was much more dilapidated than the Jetta he had in his previous life.

But his jeep was well maintained and much cleaner than the Jetta he had in his previous life.

This shows that people of this era cherish cars very much.

Lao Yang was driving very fast, exceeding 50 miles per hour, and the jeep was not very comfortable, which caused Zhao Mancang's butt to hurt a lot.

Fortunately, the destination was not far away, only about ten kilometers away.

The sign at the factory entrance was very conspicuous. Zhao Mancang remembered the name immediately through the car window.

Beijing Heavy Machinery Factory, as the name suggests, is a heavy industrial manufacturing enterprise.

"Lao Kong, I brought the people to you, but where's the horse? Could it be dead?"

After arriving at the place, under the leadership of the captain of the security department of the machinery factory, Zhao Mancang and his companions soon met the leader of the machinery factory, Kong Zhendong.

It is not difficult to find out from Yang Shourong's tone that he has a very good relationship with Kong Zhendong.

Kong Zhendong glared at Yang Shourong, then politely said a few words to Zhao Mancang like "I'm in trouble", and then arranged for the captain of the security department to take Zhao Mancang to treat the two horses.

As for the two leaders, Kong Zhendong and Yang Shourong, they left arm in arm. After following the security team leader Cai Fujun to the location, Zhao Mancang immediately frowned at the two horses in front of him.

"Comrade Zhao Mancang, these are the two injured horses."

Cai Fujun pointed at the two horses lying in the stable and said.

The horse has been given a simple bandage, but no one can say whether it can recover.

The two horses were in a pretty miserable state. When the workers of the transport team were driving them to pull supplies, they fell off the horses and people on a slope.

The two horses were weighed down by the weight of the materials and almost died.

The materials used in the Beijing Heavy Machinery Plant are quite heavy.

The transport team sent a young man to drive the carriage. Not only was he inexperienced, but he didn't even know how to control the speed when going downhill.

It was just that the boy was lucky enough that the material didn't hit him, otherwise the accident would have been even more tragic.

According to the breeders and doctors at the Beijing Heavy Machinery Plant, it would be better to kill these two horses and eat their meat.

Because of the heavy pressure of the material, the internal organs of the two horses were damaged to varying degrees.

Based on this situation, issuing a killing permit can solve many problems.

However, the deputy secretary Kong Zhendong happened to hear about this matter and immediately contacted Yang Shourong to ask if the latter could help.

Whether it was oxen or horses, they were given special attention in this era.

Even clothes are new for three years, old for three years, and patched up for another three years. What about livestock like oxen?

There were no modern mechanized troops in 1958. It was not until 1985 that the cavalry, as an independent branch of the military, completely disappeared from history.

Whether it is Kong Zhendong, Yang Shourong, or the leader in a Zhongshan suit, Fan Zhigang, almost all of them are local leaders who have transferred from the army. Frugality is a good quality engraved in their bones.

The two injured horses were seriously injured, and they looked almost identical to the donkey that Dr. Yang Qingshan had previously issued a birth certificate for.

"Comrade Zhao Mancang, I've heard of you, but these two horses are different. Can you cure them?"

After briefly stating the situation, Cai Fujun asked curiously.

"Whether it can be cured or not, you can only know after it's been cured, right?"

Zhao Mancang is not a real veterinarian, he is not even a half-baked veterinarian.

Nowadays, we are forced to do things, and everything depends on the system.

After hearing this, Cai Fujun managed to utter a sentence after a while: "That makes sense!"

After a while, he saw that Zhao Mancang had already started to act. The atmosphere was a little dull, so he took the initiative to break the dullness:

"If you need anything, just ask!"

After hearing this, Zhao Mancang didn't hesitate at all and directly made a request:

"I need some Chinese medicine, syringes, gauze, etc."

"Also, I haven't eaten yet. Can you help me get some food? I'll give you money and food coupons."

Zhao Mancang was about to take out the money and ticket, but Cai Fujun waved him off. "No, no, Leader Shen just told me to treat you well. How can I ask you to pay?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mancang naturally had to be polite so as not to let people think that he was a person who loved to take advantage of others.

However, he obviously underestimated Cai Fujun, who ran away without giving him any chance to contact him.

Seeing this, Zhao Mancang had no choice but to work first and give the money to the other party later.
