Chapter 116 Chapter 116
After the meeting, the voices of discussion in the village indeed decreased a lot, and no one dared to bring up topics like "the reincarnation of the goddess" outside anymore.
But Ye Qing's medical skills were obvious to all. After the patients had experienced his miraculous healing skills with flying needles, there was no need for them to prove themselves. After returning home, they immediately became Ye's die-hard fans and began to spontaneously promote the Kaoshantun Health Station.
As a result, the Kaoshantun Health Station became popular, and it became popular throughout the Hongqi Commune and even spread outside Qingshan Town.
Just as Wu Yongbing and the old party secretary had expected, after repeated education and propaganda from above, no one in the surrounding communes believed in the rumors anymore.
However, the number of people coming to the health station in Kaoshan Village for medical treatment did not decrease at all. Instead, it became more and more serious. As a result, the village had to set up a special schedule and arrange two members to stand guard at the entrance of the health station every day to maintain order.
However, as more and more people came, the rule of Ye Qing accepting only eighty patient cases a day spread quickly.
As a result, every morning, before Ye Qing even got up, there would be a long queue at the health station. The key point was that the people in the queue were all from the village.
Yes, that’s right. Due to the limited number of tickets at the health station, the first batch of scalpers quickly emerged in Kaoshantun within just a few days.
Several surrounding communes knew that there was a very good city doctor in Kaoshantun. Many people wanted to see Ye Qing, but not everyone could get there in time to get a consultation number for the day. So, after many people from other production teams had failed to get a number several times in a row, some people started to think of other ways.
They would try to get close to the villagers in Kaoshan Village and try to establish connections with them. They would even try to dig up all the distant relatives, even the aunts and uncles. In short, their only goal was to find an acquaintance to help them queue up.
Taking advantage of the fact that people who live near water get to enjoy the beauty of the city first, the residents of Kaoshantun had a much more lively New Year than in previous years.
As the saying goes, a poor man in a busy city has no one to care about him, but a rich man in a remote mountain has distant relatives.
In the past, when relatives outside the village were mentioned about Kaoshantun, this remote and desolate place where no one lived, they would shake their heads and no one wanted to have anything to do with it.
It’s different now. Every household is crowded with people, and all the relatives who used to be not very close to each other now come to visit.
There were even some relatives whom I had never met before, and whose names I couldn't even call out, but they still came to visit with candy envelopes and smiled at me. They were so warm and familiar, as if they had been living with the family for decades.
The residents of Kaoshantun were a little confused at first, but gradually they began to figure out what was going on. It turned out that these people were looking for help from their families to go to the health station to get a number.
The people in the village were immediately delighted. After all the time spent on the health station’s license plate restriction, it actually has benefits for them! This measure is a good one!
At first, some people were too embarrassed to do so. When relatives asked their families to help them see a doctor, they were too embarrassed to accept the gifts they received. They also had to queue up on behalf of others in secret, for fear that they would be discovered and reported to the team leader and the old party secretary, who would accuse them of violating the rules of the health station.
But within a few days, each family discovered that it was not just their own family that was doing this. In the entire village of about 300 households, every family had some "distant relatives" whose origins were unknown. It was not uncommon for them to collect some money or things and then act as scalpers to get numbers for others. Even the old branch secretary and the team leader's family had people doing this.
There is no way to eliminate scalping. When the license plate restriction measure was introduced, Ye Qing had already anticipated that this would happen.
As long as the villagers didn't go too far, she would turn a blind eye and tacitly acknowledge that everyone had gained some benefits from this matter.
Who gave the people in the village the geographical advantage?
Why did Wu Yongbing actively apply to the higher authorities, cooperate with Ye Qing's proposal, write all kinds of empty promises, and promote the construction of this health station? Wasn't it to provide benefits to the villagers of Kaoshan Village? Now, this invisible benefit has begun to emerge.
The villagers of Kaoshantun have now felt the great benefits of having a health station built at their doorstep. During the Chinese New Year, from the second to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, their home has been visited by guests non-stop, and they have received so many New Year gifts that they are overwhelmed.
Ye Qing actually has the most visitors, and the most people who come to wish each other a happy new year and give gifts.
But she cannot break this exception. No matter who comes, she will treat them warmly and attentively, except that gifts cannot be accepted. She will not let anyone use the back door. If you want to see a doctor, you have to queue up honestly. If she lets people cut in line, the nature of the number restriction will change, and there will definitely be chaos in the future. The rules and regulations posted in black and white outside will become a dead letter, and no one will believe in them anymore.
Not only her, she has the same requirement for her apprentices. They are absolutely not allowed to use their job as an excuse to sell their numbers for profit. If she finds out that someone is pretending to obey her but actually disobeys her, then he can just stop working for her and get out of here. In the future, don't say that you are her apprentice, because she will never acknowledge you as her apprentice.
Since the license plate restriction was implemented, Ye Qing no longer has to work like a top all day long without a moment to rest.
Eighty numbers were relatively easy for Ye Qing. She made a time allocation schedule. From 7 to 8 in the morning, she gave lectures to her apprentices. From 8 to 9, they had to go to the pig farm of the production team to work. From 9 to 12, it was the clinic time at the health station. There was a two-hour break for lunch at noon. From 2 to 5 was the afternoon clinic time. After 5, the health station was closed. The apprentices sorted out the medical records of the patients they had treated that day, reviewed the pulse records of the day and the patients they had contacted, and digested the course content taught by Ye Qing.
Every Wednesday and Saturday, Ye Qing would take a morning and an afternoon to take a few apprentices to the military farm and take care of Zhao Yuliang's farm, monitoring various data of livestock in the pigpen and cowshed to ensure the smooth progress of her scientific breeding plan.
In addition, when the sows give birth in the spring, I may have to be there to deliver babies for a whole month and have to stay on duty at night. I may have to notify you separately about how to arrange these shifts.
Of course, it was the busy farming season at that time. Not only was she busy with work, but the surrounding production teams were also busy. There would definitely be fewer people going to the health station for medical treatment, so Ye Qing was not worried about any conflicts in schedule.
The only trouble that the license plate restriction brought to Ye Qing was that Wu Yueying was shameless again.
After being rejected when she asked Ye Qing to make an appointment for delivery, Wu Yueying went to ask Wu Yongbing for help.
It's a pity that Wu Yongbing had already completely lost interest in his daughter. Now that she's married, her parents have no control over her childbirth. After all, the Xia family, for the sake of their grandson (granddaughter), will definitely not sit idly by.
Therefore, Wu Yongbing pretended not to hear Wu Yueying's request and had no intention of paying any attention to it.
Wu Yueying was very upset by her parents' indifference towards her having a baby. She went back to the farm in a huff. Even when she was supposed to go back to her parents' home on the second day of the Chinese New Year, she acted as if nothing had happened and the couple did not come to Kaoshantun that day.
Wu Yongbing was extremely disappointed with his daughter and regarded her as a discarded item once she was married. He was completely focused on the affairs of the Kaoshantun Health Station and did not care at all about the fact that Wu Yueying did not return to her parents' home.
Aunt Wu, on the other hand, attached great importance to her daughter and son-in-law returning to her parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year, especially when it was the couple's first year back home after their marriage. So she prepared all kinds of ingredients the night before and prepared a large table of dishes for the second day. She also specifically told her two sons not to go to the in-laws' home to pay New Year's greetings on the second day of the Lunar New Year, but to go on the first or third day instead, and free up time on the second day to accompany her sister and brother-in-law, the new couple, for dinner and drinks.
How could they know that all kinds of delicious dishes were cooked till soft and fragrant and were ready to be served? The whole family was waiting in anticipation in the house, but there was no sign of the newlywed couple. Wu Yueying's two sisters-in-law got furious at the time. They went back to the house and started kicking and swearing, and directly told their husband that whoever wanted to pay attention to the sister-in-law and her husband could do so in the future, as they would never serve them anyway.
Outsiders were definitely unaware of this farce, except for a few households living near Wu Yongbing's home who might have paid a little more attention and asked why his daughter and son-in-law didn't come back. Wu Yongbing felt embarrassed, so he made up an excuse that his son-in-law was busy with work to get away with it.
As for other families in the village, their attention during the first few days of the first lunar month was focused on Ye Qing petting the tiger and the subsequent crowded health stations. They would not have the leisure and energy to pay attention to which girl did not return to her parents' home on the second day of the first lunar month.
By the time the health station was back on track and no longer as noisy as before, on the eighth day of the first lunar month, when every family had visited their relatives and started running to the health station early in the morning to be scalpers, Wu Yueying and her husband returned to her parents' home with a smile on their faces, as if nothing had happened.
As soon as she returned to her parents' home, she righteously asked her parents to help her queue up for an appointment at the health station so that she could see Ye Qing for a medical consultation.
She had heard about it at the military farm these days. The Kaoshantun health station had suddenly become very popular. It was said that there was an endless stream of people coming to the village to see Ye Qing for medical treatment. Even many people from the military farm's family compound had been tempted to go to Kaoshantun to find connections and buy a number plate.
Wu Yueying was a girl who got married in Kaoshantun, so naturally many military wives came to her for consultation. Wu Yueying secretly agreed to help a few of them, and planned to go to her parents' home to ask for a few number plates, which she would then take back and sell to those military wives. This way she could make some money and also make them owe her a favor.
This cost-free transaction came too easily, which made Wu Yueying very eager to make a move. She even had a greedy idea in her mind. She wanted to monopolize all the scalper ticket shops in Kaoshantun.
As the daughter of the captain, Wu Yueying has always acted willfully and domineeringly, so she doesn't think her idea is so fantastic.
After all, her father was the captain of the Kaoshantun Production Brigade, in charge of all public affairs of the entire production team. It was reasonable to arrange a special person in charge to unify the management of the registration work of the health station, and no one dared to raise any objections.
But what Wu Yueying didn't expect was that, even though she hadn't asked her father to arrange the ticketing job for her, and just wanted her family to help her register at the health station, no one paid any attention to her. Even her mother, who always loved her to the core, didn't say a word this time.
