As soon as Tian An returned to the city, he went to Qin Yalan's house to buy medicine from her.
After listening to Tian An's account of the whole story, Qin Yalan said that she wanted to go too and was willing to pay for half of the herbs. She asked Tian An to leave the prescription and she would prepare the herbs and they would go together tomorrow.
Tian An didn't bother to be polite with her. This was a good thing to accumulate merit, and she couldn't stop others.
Qin Yalan was very proactive and came to Tian An early the next morning with a cart full of medicinal herbs.
After the two of them had breakfast, Chen Qiang drove the carriage and took a maid with him to the farm.
The carriage stopped directly at the door of Uncle Quan's house. When Uncle Quan's grandson saw someone coming, he hurried back to the house to call his grandfather.
When Uncle Quan came out, Chen Qiang and the others were moving herbs. Seeing the full cart of herbs, Uncle Quan was so shocked that he couldn't speak. "This, this is too much!"
After arranging the herbs in the yard, Tian An quickly grabbed three patches of medicine and gave them to Uncle Quan. "This is for Grandma Quan. One patch for three days, three times a day. Take three patches first and then see how it goes."
Uncle Quan took the medicine bag in a daze, then pointed to the herbs beside him and said, "Sir, what are these herbs?"
Tian An waved his hand and said, "Grandpa Quan, don't be so polite. Just call me An An." He pointed at Qin Yalan and said, "This is Qin Yalan, the eldest daughter of the Qin family's medicine shop in Beijing. We are good friends. She paid for half of these herbs.
Yesterday I noticed that everyone was not feeling well, so I discussed with Miss Qin and decided to hold a free clinic. Could you please inform everyone that anyone who is not feeling well can come and queue up for a consultation. Neither the consultation fee nor the medicine will be charged."
Uncle Quan was completely stunned. "Free clinic?"
Tian An nodded and said, "Yes, it's a free clinic. We're a little late today. Grandpa Quan, please go and inform everyone! Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't be able to see many people later."
Uncle Quan reacted, bowed deeply to Tian An and Qin Yalan, then hurriedly handed the old woman's medicine to his grandson and ran out of the yard.
After a while, everyone rushed over, and only when they saw the yard full of medicinal herbs did they dare to believe what Uncle Quan said.
An elderly man, his flesh and blood like a piece of wood, sighed to the sky, "Someone really is holding a free clinic! Even the medicine is free! God has opened his eyes!"
The middle-aged man beside him quickly corrected him: "Uncle, it's not God's blessing, it's that we met a kind-hearted person."
"Yes! Good people! We met two kindhearted ladies with beautiful hearts!"
…
Unlike the others who were happy and excited, the lame soldier walked up to Tian An with a stern face and asked, "Miss, why are you holding a free clinic here? Shouldn't you go to the refugee camp outside the city?"
Tian An was stunned. Did he think he was using them to gain fame?
"There are naturally other people who will take care of the refugee camps outside the city."
Ah Bing added, "We don't need charity."
Tian An looked him in the eye and said solemnly, "This is not charity, this is admiration. You are heroes of the country. You defended the country, so we will protect you."
Ah Bing was stunned. He could think of charity, sympathy, pity and possibly exploitation, but he never thought of admiration.
They fought for their country, sacrificed for their country, and were covered in wounds and even died on the battlefield. However, no one ever said such words to them. Instead, they mocked them for being disabled, incompetent, and lowly, regarded them as ominous, and expelled them.
A Bing's eyes turned red, and his mouth opened and closed again. Finally, he said, "You two ladies are the ones who truly have great love in their hearts." Then he took the initiative to ask everyone to line up.
The people in this village are very disciplined. Even though there are many people and everyone is anxious, no one cuts in line or has an argument from beginning to end.
When queuing, the elderly and children were in the front. When they saw that there were many people, the middle-aged men went back to their work and waited until everyone thought that most of them had finished their work before queuing again.
Tian An saw that everyone was already lined up, so he didn't delay and sat behind the desk to start seeing patients.
The first person to come was a skinny child with a pale face. He said he always had stomachaches. When the pain came, he felt like something was biting him in his stomach, which was extremely painful.
As soon as Tian An heard his symptoms, he knew what was going on. He examined him carefully again and asked where his parents were.
When the child's mother heard this, she ran forward in a panic and said, "Miss, something big has happened to my child."
Seeing her panic, Tian An didn't dare to tell her directly, and only said: "It's not a big problem. I asked you to come here just to ask you to pay more attention to his diet on a daily basis. Don't eat raw food or drink raw water. Pay attention to hygiene and wash hands before and after meals."
He took out two yellow sugar pills from his bag and handed them to her: "Take these pills before going to bed every day for two consecutive days."
The child's mother took the candy pill, thanked Tian An gratefully, and then left with her child.
The next person to come was a thin old woman who was suffering from the common back pain, rheumatic bone pain and other common conditions among the elderly.
After Tian An finished his consultation, he wrote a prescription and gave it to Qin Yalan to pick up the medicine. Then he took the old woman into the house and gave her acupuncture. After giving the old woman acupuncture, he came out to treat the next person. When the time was almost up, he went back to remove the needles.
The two of them were busy from morning until almost dark, and even had a quick lunch.
But the number of people in the queue has been reduced to one third. As it gets dark, the people still queuing at the back can't help but feel anxious. Good things like free medical consultations don't come every day. If you miss this time, you don't know when you'll have to wait!
After seeing patients for a whole day, Tian An was really exhausted. However, looking at the long queue, he couldn't bear to extinguish everyone's hope, so he discussed with Qin Yalan and decided to stay at the farm for two more days.
Qin Yalan had never stayed overnight outside in her life! She felt excited and curious, so she agreed immediately.
Tian An told everyone that they would stay at the farm for three days. It was getting late, so they would stop here for today. She asked everyone to go back first and continue early tomorrow morning.
When they learned that Tian An and her colleagues would provide free medical treatment for three days, everyone finally put their minds at ease. After thanking the two, they went home.
Tian An was afraid that his family would worry, so he asked Chen Qiang to ride back to tell everyone that he was safe, and also to tell Qin Yalan's family. He sorted out the herbs and wrote a list for Chen Qiang to go back and replenish the stock.
When they returned to their farm, Li and her family had already prepared a hot meal. After dinner, they took a hot bath, and after a day of cold wind, they finally relaxed completely.
Lying on the soft bed, Qin Yalan held Tian An's hand with excitement and talked about what they had done today.
"An An, I think this is the most meaningful thing I have ever done in my life. I will do many more things like this in the future."
Tian An yawned and said, "Then you have to find a way to make more money."
Qin Yalan nodded. "I think I now truly understand what you said before. Only when you are rich can you help others and do more of what you want to do."
“An An…”
Qin Yalan turned around and found that Tian An had fallen asleep at some point. She shook her head in amusement and closed her eyes.
Have a good night...
