The old men were slow to react, and when Lin Sanqi came over, they were still lying there.
Lin Sanqi looked at the reactions of the surrounding Chinese medicine hospital staff. Everyone's eyes were on Pan Ye, and he finally felt relieved.
"Old men, don't sleep here. Be careful of catching a cold."
When Mr. Shi Jinmo saw that it was Lin Sanqi, he shouted:
"Hey, old guys, the team leader is here, hurry up and get up."
When the old men heard this, they knew the time was up, so they climbed up one by one with difficulty. Lin Sanqi and Pan Ye had to help them up one by one.
Old man Han Bangxu picked up a hoe next to him, and then while tapping his back, he swung the hoe with one hand and pretended to hoe the ground. The hoe was still 20 centimeters away from the soil. The performance was quite exaggerated.
Old man Jiang Zonghui was digging at a small stone in the soil. After digging for a long time, the small stone did not move, but he kept talking:
"Hey, Xiaolin, come here, how about you listen to my report?"
At this time, Mr. Xiao Longyou was also sitting on the ground, trying to pull out a piece of dry grass from the ground. After pulling it out for a long time, the grass still stubbornly stood there:
"Xiao Lin, I remember there was a saying: Respect knowledge, respect talents. Is there such a saying?"
How would Lin Sanqi know if there was such a sentence?
He wanted to ask others, but as the team leader, he couldn't show his fear.
"Ah, yes, yes, there is such a sentence, and Mr. Xiao also passed it."
Old man Yao Qiming burst out laughing, holding a sickle and almost laughing to death, while laughing and complaining,
As soon as Old Man Yao said this, others began to criticize him:
"Noisy, noisy, Xiaolin, Yao Qiming didn't pass today!"
"How about having this old fellow empty our chamber pots tonight?"
"I agree, hahaha~~~"
Pan Ye carefully pulled at the hem of Lin Sanqi's clothes: "Sanqi, why do I feel like you're being too lax about this?"
Lin Sanqi also replied softly: "What do you care? It's just for show. We need to get our position right."
After saying that, Lin Sanqi clapped his hands again and deliberately raised his voice so that everyone could hear:
"Alright, alright, gentlemen, today's mission is complete, everyone go back and rest."
When they heard that it was time to go home from work, the 12 old men threw their tools on the ground and walked towards the dormitory with their hands waving.
Lin Sanqi picked up the tools one by one like a nanny. Pan Ye next to him also quickly put down his luggage and helped to pack up the farm tools.
Mr. Jiang suddenly realized: "Hey, Xiaolin, who is this girl? I haven't seen her before."
Mr. Han shouted exaggeratedly:
"No way? A team leader also has a secretary? But this girl is really pretty. Whose child is she?"
Lin Sanqi quickly pulled Pan Ye over, puffed out his chest and proudly introduced:
"This is Pan Ye, a student from Capital Medical College. She's here for an internship at our Changping branch. She's also my future daughter-in-law."
Pan Ye quickly stood up and bowed to the old men: "Hello, grandpas!"
Old men are mature and careful, and Chinese medicine doctors are knowledgeable about faces because they have seen countless people.
When they saw Pan Ye's face and temperament, they could tell at a glance that this girl was a good girl, simple-minded, would not harm others, was serious about her work, and was easy to get along with.
Fate is so wonderful. To be more precise, it is a matter of liking each other. At least Pan Ye gave the old men a good first impression.
Mr. Xiao laughed at this time:
"This Xiao Lin is quite ugly, but he found a very pretty wife. Not bad, not bad, he has good taste."
Mr. Jiang has one wife and eight concubines, so he is more accurate in judging girls:
"This girl has the typical temperament of a good wife and mother. She will definitely be bullied by Xiaolin in the future. Men are all spent."
These words touched Lin Sanqi's guilty conscience. As a man, the less he has, the more he has to pretend to be something.
"Old Jiang, be careful or I'll sue you for defamation. I'm a good young man of the new era, and you actually called me a philandering man. Humph. You won't get any drinks tonight."
After saying that, Lin Sanqi took out a bottle of Fenjiu from his backpack.
Mr. Jiang immediately changed his words and said:
"Did I say you spent money? I was clearly praising you for being a loyal and good man, the kind who would hang himself on a tree. Who said you spent money? If anyone says you spent money, I'll be the first to get angry with him, humph."
Pan Ye covered his mouth and laughed secretly.
Lin Sanqi kept rolling his eyes and walked towards the dormitory carrying a pile of farm tools.
Pan Ye only then thought of a question: "Sanqi, which dormitory should I live in?"
Lin Sanqi's eyes turned:
"Oh, our Changping branch has just opened, and housing is quite tight. Look, these old men have four people sleeping in one room. How about this, my dormitory has one person per room, and the kang (kang bed) is very large, so you can live with me."
Old Master Jiang was walking in front and almost spit out a mouthful of boiled water.
The other old men also secretly gave Lin Sanqi a thumbs up.
Pan Ye was stunned: "Ah, I sleep in the same room with you? This, this..."
The little girl was so anxious that her face turned red again and she almost cried.
If it were a girl in the future, she would definitely agree without a second thought. Isn't it normal for something to happen before marriage? If the two were still pure before marriage, would the girl actually suspect that the man was impotent?
But in 1960, if you were born in an intellectual family, unless there were special circumstances, you would have to wait until the wedding night to give yourself up. After all, the mother-in-law would check whether there were any plum blossom dots on the white handkerchief.
This is related to one's future status in one's husband's family.
Seeing Pan Ye almost burst into tears, Lin Sanqi knew that this "living together" was no longer possible, and quickly made amends:
"Hey, I'm just kidding. I've already arranged a dormitory for you, but our branch doesn't have a cafeteria, so you still have to eat three meals a day with me. My dormitory is right in front. Come on, I'll show you around."
Several old men cast contemptuous glances at him again.
Old Master Jiang laughed again: "See? I told you this kid is full of tricks. This girl from the Pan family is no match for him."
As we walked into the bungalow area, a middle-aged woman came out with a rag in her hand:
"The old men are back. Oh, Section Chief Lin is back too?"
The middle-aged woman is named Li Qiuyun. Her husband is Liu Kuisheng, an employee of the Chinese Medicine Hospital. She used to be an employee of a state-owned hotel in the capital. She was implicated by her husband and was included in the layoff list.
It is obviously impossible for Lin Sanqi to take care of the eating, drinking, defecation and urination of 12 old men by himself. He can provide supplies, but he really doesn't know how to cook or wash clothes.
Therefore, the Changping branch hired Li Qiuyun, who had service experience, to take care of the lives of the elderly. She was responsible for cleaning, cooking, washing clothes, etc., and her salary was paid according to the food quota of temporary workers.
Lin Sanqi smiled and nodded, introducing:
"Aunt Li, you need to prepare one more meal for each of your three meals a day. This is Comrade Pan Ye, my fiancée. I will personally pay for her food."
"I see. Oh, Chief Lin, your wife is really beautiful, haha."
Pan Ye also greeted politely: "Hello, Aunt Li!"
"Okay, okay, put your things down and take a rest. I'll cook now."
…
"Lin Sanqi, this is your dormitory, right? Everyone likes living in buildings these days, right? Why are you living in a bungalow?"
Pan Ye was looking around, while Lin Sanqi quietly brought her to the front of the house:
"Look, this room is full of treasures. Let me open your eyes."
Lin Sanqi opened the door of one of the rooms. Pan Ye took a closer look and found that in addition to a kang, there were two large bookcases in the room, all of which were filled with books. Even the kang was piled with books.
The same scene was seen in the other two rooms.
Pan Ye was also a smart girl. She asked excitedly, "Are these books from which old men?"
Lin Sanqi nodded and said in a low voice:
"These are all the old masters' inventory. In addition to a large number of ancient medical books, there are also many Chinese medicine notes, ancestral secret recipes, etc. They are definitely the greatest treasures in our medical field.
If you can learn some of this, it will be enough to make you a name in the history of medicine. But for now, you can only look at it from outside, and you can't just flip through it. You need permission from the old masters. These books are not for anyone else to read except me."
At this time, Mr. Jiang was eating steamed bread and said mockingly:
"We've all given you permission to read, yet you keep reading. Every time we ask you to read, you fall asleep within 10 minutes. You're such a fool that you can't recognize a great man."
Lin Sanqi was a little embarrassed: "Well, well, ancient Chinese is too difficult to understand. I really can't understand it."
At this time, Mr. Shi Jinmo also came out with a bowl of millet porridge and asked casually:
"Xiao Lin seems to be in trouble. Xiao Pan, are you interested in Chinese medicine?"
Pan Ye nodded quickly: "Grandpa, I studied Chinese medicine in college, and my teacher was Mr. Ying Heyue."
"Ying Heyue? I haven't heard of her. So, you should have learned some basic Chinese medicine. Have you memorized those basic ancient Chinese medical texts?"
Several old men began to prepare to examine Pan Ye. Lin Sanqi looked back at the medical books in the room and began to have bad ideas. (End of this chapter)
