223 Wang Qi is chasing after me

The next day, Sun Sicheng called Wan Changsheng to the back hall.

"Brother Wan, Ping An and I have to leave in the next two days. There are 22 of us going to the northern border, and there are also several skilled workers from the workshop. There are about 30 of us, and most of them have some skills. You don't have to worry."

He took out a few more pieces of paper with the government seal on them and said, "Erqiang is determined to go, and Ping An and I have no choice but to let him go as an apprentice. Both doctors and apprentices can save one military service quota.

Ping An told me that your family has two relatives, one from his great uncle's family and one from his maternal grandfather's family, but he was also worried that his aunt's and uncle's families would not be able to spare the time, so I tried to find a way to get you three more places. Together with Ping An and Er Qiang's, it will be enough. The extra one will be given to you, the head of the Wan family. If you are willing, I will have someone send you to Jiao County. Don't tell anyone until the end, otherwise it will be troublesome in the future."

Wan Changsheng stood up excitedly and bowed deeply: "Thank you, young master."

"Brother Wan, you are so polite. Please sit down. I will give your clan leader an extra seat because you will not be back often. If anything happens, they will have to take care of you. There is one more thing I want to discuss with you, about safety. However, he does not know about it either. It is enough for you and I to know the answer. Don't tell anyone except your wife.

Ping An is growing up, and I am worried that his biological father will find him some unsuitable concubine from an official family. I also want to make him my son-in-law in the future, but the two children are still young, and my Awu is only ten years old. I wanted to consider it in a few years, but I am worried about this.

Wan Changsheng was petrified.

The legitimate granddaughter of the Sun family of Baicaotang, the beloved daughter of the eldest son, are you willing to marry her to Ping An?

But his family Ping An is indeed good in every way. The only bad thing is that his father is useless and can't help him more.

"What the eldest son means is"

"Brother Wan, this matter is mainly to prevent Ping An's marriage from being rejected. Brother Chang is his biological father, so it is understandable for him to be married, but I am always worried that if their personalities are not suitable, Ping An will be uncomfortable for the rest of his life.

He has done a favor to Awu, and I like this child, but we are both still young, and we don’t know if we will be suitable for each other in the future, so for now, we just need to have an understanding, and we can’t really consider it an engagement.”

Before he can really make up his mind, he has to convince his wife, otherwise she will hate him for the rest of her life.

Among the young men he has seen nowadays, none is better than his Ping An, and he is a perfect match for his A Wu.

"I know, I know, I will never tell anyone."

Wan Changsheng was overjoyed. Ping'an's engagement to the eldest son's daughter was the best possible marriage.

Besides, he also hoped that he would arrange the child's marriage with someone else. After all, Ping'an's real household registration was with him, and he was Wan Changsheng's son.

A quarter of an hour later, Wan Changsheng walked out of the back hall. The eldest master asked him to take Erqiang and Ping'an home early. They didn't need to come tomorrow, as a car would pick them up at the farm early the next morning.

This is good too. Yesterday, Mei Niang found out that her son and Erqiang were going to Yunzhou for a few months, and she was reluctant to let them go.

Ping An just told his mother about going out yesterday. As for where Yunzhou is, how could his mother know? Mei Niang only knew that there would be a war, and she didn't even know that the situation was not good. There were few people in the village, and there were basically no visits. In the past, the Ge family often came, but now they have opened an alcohol workshop and the gate is strictly guarded, so there are fewer people coming and going.

As soon as Wan Changsheng left, Sun Sicheng found Lao Ge, handed him five quotas and a letter from Wan Changsheng, and asked him to send two people to Jiao County. Doctor Sun had to take these things to see County Magistrate Huang, and the counties would immediately start recruiting soldiers.

The remaining places were given to the old tenant farmers under Baicaotang. Some of them had worked for their families for more than ten years and were just able to be exempted from military service.

Lao Ge is most familiar with these people, and he is the most suitable person to handle this matter.

Ping'an was sorting out his two medical boxes in the small room. Yesterday, his master gave him a lot of medicine, which were all brought out by Master Qin at the request of Uncle Fang. Xiaoshan also brought him some. There were all kinds of medicine, including some that could not be presented on the table.

This time when he went out, he had to bring two medical kits. Later, he drew a lot of drawings, and the master turned these drawings from Li the blacksmith into two real surgical tools. All together, they were basically complete.

There was really no way to make those with motors. He could only think about it occasionally and draw them on paper to see if he could replace them with ordinary manual ones in the future. He didn't have the ability to do that now.

When Wan Changsheng came over, he saw his son busying around.

"Ping An, where are Er Qiang and the others? You are still busy. The eldest master asked you to come home with me. You don't have to come tomorrow. Just stay at home and accompany your mother."

"Dad, wait a moment. I'm packing up the medical box. It will be convenient for future use. Erqiang and the others are also packing their luggage at Sun's residence. Uncle Ming can make up for the shortage."

"Okay, take your time. I'm going to go out and buy some things, and I'll pick you up later."

He had to go to the market to buy some snacks, but summer was short-lived and his son was taking ten people out this time, so he had to prepare some good meals for them.

Ping An nodded. He knew in his heart that his father was going to buy meat. The price of meat has tripled in the past two years. It used to be 15 cents per catty, but now it is 40 cents per catty. The reason is that the price of meat people eat has doubled or tripled, so how many people are still raising pigs?

What pigs can eat, people can also mix into food to fill their stomachs. Moreover, due to the drought, there is not much pig grass in the mountains.

In the end, they had lunch in the medical hall before returning to the village.

Mei Niang saw that her husband had bought a lot of meat. The temperature was already very high during the day and it was noon, so she quickly took Xizhi to get busy. Soon Tong Miaoye followed suit, and Xier was taken by Erqiang to play.

He returned to his room safely and packed a large bag filled with clothes for all seasons. The north was cold, and in late autumn and winter, clothes hung out to dry were not easy to do. No matter how many sweaters he brought when treating the wounded, they would inevitably get dirty.

"Master Ping'an, the eldest master wants you to go back to the clinic." Jixiang came over.

"Brother Jixiang, what's the matter?"

"The Wang family from Yangcheng came over and found Baicaotang. They are the family that moved the graves for Lin Feng's family. They said that the tumor on their necks occasionally hurts, and the family members were scared, so they followed them here a few days later."

Is it painful? Is there pus? If it is inflamed, surgery cannot be performed. It is useless to ask Jixiang. This person has been following the master for seven or eight years. He is good at everything else but not at medical treatment. In this respect, he is very similar to Erqiang.

"I've already told my parents, and I'll go with you right away."

When Wan Changsheng heard this, he was also speechless. He was clearly offering you treatment at his doorstep, but you refused. Then he left, and you followed him all the way here. I'm afraid you're not mentally healthy, right?
