Chapter 87 Visit...

The day before the official opening, we finally got all the staff together.

The laughter of everyone could be heard from the originally empty clinic, adding a bit of liveliness to the cold space.

As it was the grand day of the new clinic's opening, the Wu family would naturally not be absent. Except for Wu Mingfeng who was admitted to the medical college, everyone else was present.

Early in the morning, the Wu family hurried over from Qingshan Village to help out before the opening.

An Hongying carefully touched the snow-white wall, moved quickly, and raised her head to observe the novel lamps above her head.

"Yinyin, the new clinic is so bright!"

"Of course not! The clinic has spent so much money and even owed a lot of foreign debts. How can it not look good?"

Wu Qiufeng rushed to answer, and excitedly put his head against the glass window, as if he wanted to see clearly what was happening inside the registration window.

"I think the clinic is no different from the big hospitals in the city." Grandpa Wu Gui nodded affirmatively.

Grandma Li Chunhe's eyes were filled with pride and honor for Chen Yin. "This is all because of Yin Yin's amazing talent!"

None of them could have imagined that one day their family would be able to open such a large clinic, and they were filled with praise.

Chen Yin felt embarrassed when she heard this, and could only use the excuse of a tour to lead a few people to visit the entire new clinic.

When everyone saw the small garden in the middle of the building, they were all surprised.

But when they saw the elevator, no one could express their inner shock, except for the novelty.

Apart from Chen Yin and a few other young people who had taken the elevator, Wu Qiufeng and the others had only heard of it in bits and pieces on the radio and television.

When Wu Qiufeng saw Chen Yin pointing at the small compartment in front of him and saying it was an elevator, he was a little bit unbelieving.

"Yinyin, you said this little house is the elevator?"

"Yes, the elevator used in our clinic is quite large. After all, it has to be able to accommodate the hospital bed."

Hearing the affirmative answer, the family's eyes looked towards the elevator with dazzling brilliance.

Wu Qiufeng excitedly paced back and forth in front of the elevator door, looking around outside the elevator, and excitedly pointed at the elevator and said:

"Yin Yin, how do I make this elevator move?"

"Uncle, look here." Chen Yin pointed to the two buttons on the right side of the elevator. "There are two arrows here, representing up and down. When you go upstairs, click the upward arrow and the elevator will move up."

As she spoke, Chen Yin had already clicked the arrow.

With a "ding" sound, the elevator door immediately opened to everyone.

Seeing the iron door being opened, the sudden sound scared the unprepared people.

Wu Qiufeng's mind was filled with the novel effects of the elevator. He didn't care about anything else. As soon as he saw the elevator door open, he immediately asked his family to go inside.

"Mom and Dad! Come in, come in, let's try what it's like to ride an elevator like the people in the city."

Grandma looked at the four pillars supporting the elevator with some trepidation. Her legs felt weak and she couldn't help asking:

“Is this thing safe?”

"Don't worry, Grandma. It's very safe. With an elevator, patients with mobility issues don't have to climb stairs to see a doctor, which is very beneficial for patients. It's also easy for elderly people like you who have mobility issues to see a doctor."

Chen Yin patiently explained, slowly walked to her grandmother, held her hand, and comforted her.

Grandpa swallowed nervously, closed his eyes, and rushed into the elevator with a righteous look to set an example for his wife.

Soon after, other people also entered the elevator one after another, leaving only Chen Yin and her grandmother.

Chen Yin gently pulled her grandmother's hand, and the two of them entered the elevator.

She knew that her uncle wanted to try the elevator, so she told him how to use it directly, while she stayed by her grandmother's side.

When Wu Qiufeng heard that the elevator could move by just pressing the number representing the floor, he was filled with excitement.

He subconsciously rubbed his index finger against his trouser leg, then nervously held his breath and pressed the number "2."

"bite!"

The familiar voice rang in my ears again, and the wide-open elevator door slowly closed. Only the light above my head was shining in the elevator.

Then there was a sudden "clang" sound under their feet, which scared several people. They mistakenly thought that something had happened to the elevator and subconsciously shrank their bodies, pressing their backs tightly against the walls of the elevator, looking around helplessly.

Feeling the tension in her hands, Chen Yin quickly comforted them:

"It's okay, this is the sound of the elevator's machinery turning before it goes up."

Before he finished speaking, the elevator under his feet suddenly rose.

It was a feeling I had never experienced before. My feet felt empty and my heart was unsure. I couldn't help but want to find something I could control to give myself strength.

Grandma grabbed Chen Yin's hand, while the others leaned against the elevator wall with trembling legs.

An Hongying even felt her eyes go dark and she felt dizzy. The lights above her head emitted circles of light, making it difficult for her to see the scene in front of her.

Just before she shouted in panic, the moving elevator suddenly stopped and the tightly closed iron door opened.

"bite!"

This sound was like An Hongying's life-saving voice. She quickly opened her eyes and looked towards the door.

No one in the elevator left immediately, but stood there to calm down.

An Hongying said with lingering fear: "Yinyin, this elevator thing is really too weird, I can't take it."

"I don't know how the elevator moved. It felt like I closed my eyes and opened them again and I was there. But your aunt is right. It feels so weird. I'm just going to walk with my old bones."

Grandma nodded in agreement, holding Chen Yin with one hand and pressing her chest with the other.

The empty feeling just now was so unforgettable that she never wanted to experience it again.

After hearing this, Grandpa and Wu Qiufeng nodded frantically, expressing their strong agreement.

Seeing this, Chen Yin had no choice but to take everyone for a walk around the second floor and then walk up to the third floor.

The layout of the third to fifth floors is the same, so after leaving the third floor, the group immediately moved to the sixth floor.

The highlight of the visit was naturally Chen Yin and her mother's room, a simple two-bedroom, one-living room apartment that could be described as "small but complete."

After walking around for a while, it was already noon and everyone started to worry about eating.

"Grandma, don't worry about that. There's a cafeteria on the first floor. My mom is in charge now, and she's hired someone to help, so eating won't be a problem."

"That's good. Your house is just like those in the city, except that it doesn't have a kitchen."

"If you want to cook for yourself, there is a stove in the cafeteria on the first floor."

…

A group of people chatted about many problems in life and walked towards the cafeteria.

Because it hasn't officially opened yet and the cafeteria isn't officially open, you have to cook for yourself if you want to eat today.

We simply made four dishes and a soup, and sat at two tables in the cafeteria.

While eating, Wu Qiufeng suddenly remembered the instructions given by the village party secretary when he came to the town today, and immediately mentioned it to Chen Yin.

"Yinyin, everyone in the village knows about the opening of the new clinic. The village secretary said he will come to town tomorrow to share in the good news."

"The more people come to the clinic, the more lively it becomes. It's an honor for our clinic that the branch secretary is willing to come."

After congratulating the people, grandma couldn't help but ask about the preparations for the opening of the clinic.

"Have you invited the gong and drum band for tomorrow's celebration?"

"Yes."

"I see the plaque on the door of the clinic has been changed, right?"

"I put the plaque my father wrote in the past in the lobby on the first floor. Now the one hanging on the door is the one I wrote. It should be bigger and more in line with the current gate's grandeur."

"What specific audiences have you invited for tomorrow?"

"I didn't invite anyone in particular. I just thought everyone in town would join in the fun."

This is what Chen Yin thought, but things did not develop as she expected.

When he saw Liao Dehua and Liu Xianhua coming to help early in the morning, he was a little overwhelmed for a moment.

"Director Liao, Xiao Liu, why are you here?"

"Doctor Chen, how could we miss the grand opening of your new clinic? We're here on behalf of the county hospital. Where should we put this flower basket?"

Liao Dehua pretended to be angry and glared at Chen Yin, then pointed at the flower basket in Liu Xianhua's arms and asked with a smile.

Chen Yin glanced at the empty space in front of the clinic and pointed casually, "Just put it on the side of the gate."

Looking at Liu Xianhua placing a large flower basket as tall as a person, she said to Liao Dehua sincerely:

“Thank you county hospital for your concern for me.”

"We should be thanking you, Doctor Chen. I wonder what you think of Xiao Liu's performance during his time studying with you?"

"Comrade Xiao Liu is very serious about his research. He is very good."

"Hahahaha!" Liao Dehua couldn't help but laugh triumphantly when he heard the answer, and immediately revealed his true purpose.

"Doctor Chen, since you are so satisfied, I have a humble request, which is also a collective request from our hospital."

"Please speak," the solemn tone made Chen Yin's expression serious.

"The Traditional Chinese Medicine emergency treatment techniques you demonstrated at the hospital previously impressed us with admiration and envy. We sincerely hope that our hospital can cultivate similar talents. After collective research, the hospital is considering collaborating on further education with your clinic."

"Director Liao wants to send Xiao Liu to study with me?"

"That's right," Liao Dehua nodded heavily.

"If you're willing to do it, I have no objection. The new clinic has just been built and we're in need of staff."

Chen Yin didn't expect that someone would come to her door on their own initiative, and it was someone like Liu Xianhua who had a lot of clinical experience.

"Doctor Chen, I will definitely study hard with you!"

Liu Xianhua heard everything they said clearly, and knowing that Chen Yin was willing to accept him, he made a promise immediately.

"Don't worry. If you want to come for further studies, you'll probably have to go back to the county town to pack your luggage. Go find Doctor Qi inside and have him show you around the dormitories. You can stay in whichever room you like."

“Hey!”

Liu Xianhua's brain was already dizzy with joy at the good news Chen Yin had thrown out. He ran back excitedly, not caring about anything else at all.

Liao Dehua looked at his disciple's back, smiled helplessly and shook his head, "Doctor Chen, I will leave this disciple of mine to you."

"Don't worry, Director Liao. Doctor Liu will be fine."

Before he finished speaking, he heard excited shouts again.

"Doctor Chen—"

Looking up, she saw that the person coming was Sun Mingying, who helped build the new clinic. Chen Yin stood at the door, smiling and waiting for the other person to come closer.

"Boss Sun, you're finally here."

When Sun Mingying heard Chen Yin's words, he couldn't hide the smile on his face. He first asked his men to place the prepared flower basket opposite the flower basket sent from the county hospital, and then approached Chen Yin.

"Even if you didn't invite me, Doctor Chen, I would still come to share in the joy when the new Huimin Hall opens."

As she spoke, Chen Yin saw other figures approaching out of the corner of her eye.
