Chapter 49 Seeking Medical Treatment in Another Place
His heart was frightened by this spontaneous thought, and he looked at the father and son in surprise.
Wu Sheng thought about it briefly and immediately understood why the other party had such an idea.
"It was Yin Yin who reminded you, right?"
Then, Wu Qiufeng recounted the entire process of how they originally wanted to collect herbs directly in the village, and then Chen Yin suggested planting them directly, and how they found planting books and learned planting methods.
Looking at the person opposite him who was talking eloquently, Wu Sheng had to admit that scholars were better than those of them who could only dig for food in the fields.
Chen Yin had clearly asked everyone to collect herbs for treatment a few days ago, but no one could associate it with planting.
"Uncle Secretary, my family has been thinking about this for a long time and thinks the four medicinal herbs we've selected shouldn't be difficult to grow. So, we'd like to ask if there's any suitable mountain land in the village so we can clear it as soon as possible and start planting next spring."
After Wu Qiufeng finished speaking, he glanced in his father's direction and nodded at Wu Sheng.
At this moment, Wu Sheng was still thinking about the possibility of growing medicinal herbs in his mind, exhaling large puffs of smoke.
For a moment, the only sound in the main room was his exhaling smoke.
Wu Qiufeng and his son waited for a long time, but there was no movement from the village party secretary. They couldn't help but frown in confusion.
"Uncle, uncle! What are you thinking about?"
Finally, the calls finally pulled Wu Sheng out of his thoughts.
He looked up at the two people in front of him who were looking at him expectantly, and tried to open his mouth, but his lips seemed to be stuck with glue and he couldn't open them for a long time.
In the end, Wu Sheng gritted his teeth embarrassedly and expressed the thoughts that came to his mind.
"Wu Gui, do you think it's okay for our family to grow Chinese medicinal herbs with you?"
The moment he said this, Wu Sheng felt as if a huge stone had fallen from his heart. He raised his drooping eyelids and looked at the two of them with burning eyes.
Wu Qiufeng and his son did not expect that the village party secretary would also be moved, and they were confused for a while.
Wu Sheng looked at the two people who did not respond, and kept rubbing the pipe in his hand, his heart beating faster with nervousness and embarrassment.
He knew that his request was difficult to accept, but he really had no other choice.
The world outside is changing with each passing day, and the importance of money is becoming increasingly important. If their village continues to remain unchanged, it is estimated that generations to come will have to deal with mud.
When Wu Sheng thought about the village he was responsible for having to live in the same poverty for hundreds of years, his heart felt like it was soaked in salt water, and he was in excruciating pain.
Now that he saw that the father and son of the Wu family had come up with an idea with the help of Chen Yin, which was highly feasible, he couldn't help but be moved.
Time passed minute by minute, and Wu Qiufeng and his son looked at each other to confirm that they had heard correctly.
The next second, an excited smile broke out on Wu Qiufeng's face.
"Uncle Secretary, I didn't expect you to be so courageous. What's wrong with you wanting to grow herbs with us? We've only read a few books and haven't really grown herbs. If you don't think you'll lose everything by following us, you can come along."
“Okay, okay!”
Wu Sheng was so moved that he almost cried. He didn't expect that the Wu family had such a way to make money and didn't mind others learning it. Such a broad mind is really admirable.
Then he expressed his true thoughts.
After hearing the heartfelt words of the village party secretary, Wu Qiufeng and his son were also full of admiration.
I thought to myself: The person in front of me is worthy of being the village party secretary. He really thinks about the village all the time.
Wu Qiufeng even more remembered what Liu Mengxi had said, and began to imagine the scene where the whole village followed them to grow Chinese medicinal herbs.
"Uncle Secretary, it would be great if that day really came!"
"I heard from Dr. Liu, who came with Yinyin, that if the whole village works together to plant the fruit and the industry expands, we can attract more merchants. When one day outsiders think of the origin of Citrus aurantium and Citrus aurantium fructus, they can think of our Qingshan Village, and then we won't have to worry about anything."
"It's just like the Chinese herbal medicine market in the city, where all the herbal medicine vendors gather together. When people want to buy Chinese herbal medicines, they go to the market. I hope our village can be as attractive as the market."
"That's great." Wu Sheng couldn't help but sigh.
He hadn't expected that business could reach this point, and he couldn't help but think of letting his old arms and legs go out and see the world.
He even began to imagine the scene of Qingshan Village full of Chinese medicinal herbs, and couldn't help but stare into the distance in a daze.
For a moment, the three of them sat there with their thoughts drifting away.
After the fantasy, the real business must be put on the agenda.
Wu Sheng drew a map of the entire village in his mind. After the distribution of property to each household, the village's mountains were divided among the villagers. It was still somewhat difficult to find all the land that belonged to the village collective.
Therefore, he could only set his sights on the mountain that was far away from the village and close to Qiu Feng's own land.
After thinking for a long time, he finally found two hills that barely met the requirements.
"How about those two small hills near your home in Wulichong Village? Although they're not very large, they're still suitable for starting out. You can also trade your land from other parts of your home with the villagers on the hills, which will cost you less."
I have to say that the village party secretary really racked his brains for Wu Qiufeng's family.
All the ideas proposed above are beneficial to their family and reduce risks a lot.
The father and son thought about it briefly and immediately decided the matter.
As the elder, Wu Gui immediately stepped forward and said, "The location of those two mountains is really good. There is water at the foot of the mountains, which is convenient for irrigation. The area is not very large, so the initial investment can be smaller. Brother, I listen to you. We will rent those two mountains."
"Okay then. Besides your family, the rest of the mountain belongs to Yucheng, Jianye, and CCB. I'll go with you to talk to them later and get things settled as soon as possible."
When Wu Sheng saw Wu Gui make the decision, he immediately prepared for action in a hurry.
But Wu Qiufeng had not forgotten the reason that prompted him to come, and immediately told Qi Wenzhong that he could help find seedlings.
"So, uncle, how many seedlings does your family want? I can ask Yinyin's friends to decide together."
Wu Sheng thought about it for a while and felt that his family was the same as theirs. They should plant two mountains for the time being and talk about other things after they got the results.
"Just like you guys, just give us as much as you want. I'll give you the money to pass on when the time comes."
"Okay, uncle!"
Wu Qiufeng was once again shocked by Wu Sheng's decisive attitude.
Because he was anxious, he hurried to the town in the afternoon, while the brothers Wu Sheng and Wu Gui began to busy themselves with the land rental matter.
In the evening, Chen Yin did not wait for the letter from the village, but waited directly for her uncle.
"Uncle, why are you here at this time?"
Wu Qiufeng put down the food he brought and said with a smile, "Of course, I was attracted by the good news you brought back to the village."
"What? Has your family decided how much to plant?" Chen Yin asked curiously.
Liu Mengxi and Qi Wenzhong, who were also curious about this, followed over.
Wu Qiufeng knew that Qi Wenzhong had helped find the seedlings, and immediately smiled happily at Qi Wenzhong.
"Thank you, Xiao Qi. I didn't mean to hit you for caring about our family's affairs."
"Uncle, you're too polite. Sister Yinyin is my benefactor, and you're her uncle. I'm just helping to connect them. You don't have to be so polite."
Qi Wenzhong waved his hands embarrassedly, not daring to meet Wu Qiufeng's grateful eyes.
"But without you, we wouldn't have made such a decisive decision. So don't be so polite, young man."
"Here! These are some oranges that the Party Secretary Uncle specially gave to you. They were grown in the village. Come and try them and see how they taste."
As he spoke, Wu Qiufeng stuffed the oranges into the hands of the three people in a gesture that left no room for refusal.
Chen Yin heard a different meaning from her uncle's words and couldn't help asking:
"Uncle, does the Party Secretary also know about this?"
"Of course. If you want to rent land or mountains in the village, you have to inform the village. Without your Party Secretary, we wouldn't be able to rent good mountain land."
"Also, the Party Secretary heard we wanted to try Chinese medicinal herbs, so he decided to join us. I was thinking about what Doctor Liu said about industrialization, and I felt that one more person means one more force, so it should be okay, right?"
Speaking of growing Chinese medicinal herbs, it was Chen Yin's idea.
But Wu Qiufeng agreed to the village party secretary's request without Chen Yin's consent. Now when he thinks about it, he feels a little embarrassed and dares not meet Chen Yin's eyes.
"Uncle, I didn't expect you to take it to heart!" Liu Mengxi exclaimed with emotion.
She really didn't expect that a person who had been dealing with land for many years could actually listen to her economic terms.
Regardless of anything else, just with this intention, she believed that Uncle Wu could succeed.
Chen Yin had the same idea, and even felt that it was not enough for only the village party secretary to join.
But considering the income of people at that time, there were very few people who took the risk to join the first team of planting Chinese medicinal herbs. Only after both my uncle's families were successful would people follow suit and learn.
Therefore, the two of them who take the lead are particularly important.
"That's great, uncle. Besides the books on planting, I'll also look for some books on composting. I've seen that many medicinal herbs prefer fertile soil, and I guess the red soil in our village is a bit difficult to grow."
Chen Yin carefully recalled the contents of the Chinese medicinal herb cultivation book to see if there was anything else she could help with.
"I, your uncle, also worked in an orange orchard, so I'm pretty good at planting orange trees. Yinyin, don't take all the responsibility on yourself."
Wu Qiufeng looked at his niece with heartache, not wanting her to continue seeing the doctor and worrying about him.
The remaining two people saw all this and decided to help together.
Qi Wenzhong interrupted them directly, "It's not like they say two cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. If we work together, we will definitely succeed."
"But now, Uncle Wu, let's talk about the saplings first. Also, have you decided which medicinal herbs to plant?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Qiufeng's mind immediately followed Qi Wenzhong's thoughts.
He thought about it carefully and replied, "The mountain we rented is probably only about 100 acres, and we need 2,000 saplings. The village chief uncle and our family have the same area."
Qi Wenzhong had already learned some information from his father and knew that Wu Qiufeng wanted a small number of saplings.
But considering that this is their first time starting a business, there are advantages to starting with less.
"Okay! Uncle, I'll call home later and ask my dad and a friend to reserve 4,000 saplings and send them over next spring."
"Okay, okay, okay!" Wu Qiufeng shouted "Okay" three times in a row.
After finishing the business, the stone in his heart fell to the ground, and he looked a lot more relaxed.
On the other side, Wu Guike, who was taking action at the same time, was not so lucky.
When everyone heard that he wanted to exchange land to plant fruit trees, they kindly refused. After all, there was a precedent in their village.
"Uncle Gui, it's not that we don't want to, but growing fruit trees is really hard. Our land and mountains were all fairly distributed by lottery. I can't do such a conscienceless thing as you using your good land to exchange for our barren mountain."
Because of the particularity of growing Chinese medicinal herbs, Wu Gui and Wu Sheng discussed and decided to use the excuse of growing fruit trees first.
But the two of them never expected that even when such a good thing came to their doorstep, there would still be people who disagreed, which made them really at a loss for words.
"Jianye, why are you still so stubborn?" Wu Sheng sighed helplessly.
Wu Gui didn't care that he was the elder, he just raised his chin and said arrogantly:
"Anyway, for this mountain, I've already ordered the saplings from the outside boss and even paid for them. Jianye, you don't want to see your uncles lose money before they even officially start farming, do you?"
After hearing this, Wu Jianye could only nod in agreement.
Fortunately, the two families could exchange land directly without even having the chance to spend money, otherwise he felt that Uncle Gui would probably lose all his family fortune.
After a while, the two parties signed the land exchange contract. After it was reviewed by the village committee, the contract between the two parties took effect immediately.
After finishing the work at two houses, Wu Gui and Wu Sheng came to the last house - Wu Jianxing's.
"CCB! CCB!"
"Hey hey hey! Uncle Secretary, Uncle Gui, why are you here?"
Wu Jianxing shook off the water droplets on his legs and looked at the person who came with a puzzled look.
"Let me talk to you about something serious." Wu Sheng spoke first and found a place to sit down in the yard.
Wu Jianxing looked at the two people in the yard with trepidation.
One is the village party secretary who is in charge of the village, and the other is the grandfather of the recently famous Doctor Chen. He dare not underestimate either of them.
But when he heard that Uncle Gui wanted to exchange his own good land for his own barren mountain, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
Wu Jianxing didn't expect that Uncle Gui, who always seemed to be smart and clear-headed, would actually have a disaster.
He would not miss such a good thing.
Therefore, he signed the contract without even asking, and by the time his wife and children found out, it was too late.
"You damned thing! Why don't you ask before you give away your land? What if there's something good in the mountains?"
Wu Jianxing pushed his wife's hand away impatiently and asked:
"Tell me! Tell me, that mountain has been deserted for more than ten years. What good things are there on it?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the house fell into deathly silence.
After all, there was really nothing on that mountain, and since Wu Guilian didn't even want the wood on the mountain, they could still chop it down for firewood.
For a moment, Wu Jianxing's family felt that Wu Gui's family had been possessed by evil spirits.
"Why bother about what they do? Anyway, our family is getting the advantage. Tomorrow we can have an extra paddy field to grow rice, and we can sell more in the fall to save more money for our children's wedding."
"Hehehe! You're right, Uncle Gui's family is also crazy. We should just focus on cultivating our own paddy fields."
Wu Gui, who was considered stupid, returned home with the three written contracts. He was about to talk to his son about clearing the barren mountain, but found that he had not returned yet.
Li Chunhe glanced at her husband impatiently, "Qiu Feng went to town. Do you think he will come back today?"
I have to say that the mother's judgment of her son was very accurate.
After Wu Qiufeng finished talking about the seedlings in the clinic, he stayed in the clinic to help.
They also cooked a meal themselves to thank Qi Wenzhong for his help to their family.
At the dinner table, a group of people ate until their lips turned red and tears welled up in the corners of their eyes, but they couldn't stop eating with their chopsticks.
“Huh~”
Liu Mengxi couldn't help but gulp down a mouthful of cold tea and let out a sigh of satisfaction.
The others were not much better and all used herbal tea to relieve the discomfort in their mouths.
When dinner was over, everyone lay back in their chairs, struggling to move.
Wu Qiufeng looked at this scene with an unconcealable satisfaction in his eyes. It was such a wonderful feeling that someone liked to eat the food he cooked.
Just as everyone was enjoying the aftertaste of the food, the phone suddenly rang.
“Ding-ling-ling——”
"Someone is calling!" Liu Mengxi shouted in surprise.
Before she finished speaking, Chen Yin continued walking towards the clinic. She didn't know who called at this time, but she thought they must be very anxious.
After answering the phone, the other party's words confirmed her inner guess.
"Doctor Chen, will you still be at your clinic tomorrow?"
"Still here, Director Yang, what can I do for you?"
When Yang Guohua heard Chen Yin's affirmative voice on the other end of the phone, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and he couldn't help but shout out excitedly.
"That's good! That's good!"
"Is there any patient who needs my help?" Chen Yin vaguely guessed the other party's purpose.
"That's right, Doctor Chen. I have a friend here whose grandfather is sick. He was taken to the hospital and the doctor said that only vital signs can be maintained. He wants to see if there is anything we, the Chinese medicine practitioners, can do."
"I thought of you the first time and wanted to ask you to come over and take a look."
"Did you hire the doctor, or did your friend?"
"Of course he's my friend!" Yang Guohua realized that Chen Yin had misunderstood and immediately began to explain.
"My friend heard about your deeds and thought it was worth a try. If you agree, a car will pick you up at the clinic tomorrow morning."
"Okay, I'll prepare tonight and go to the market tomorrow."
"Okay, okay! Doctor Chen, I'll be waiting for you at the People's Hospital."
Chen Yin hung up the phone, and in a blink of an eye, she saw Liu Mengxi making faces, which scared her so much that her body shuddered.
Liu Mengxi couldn't help but smile at this scene and praised:
"I didn't expect that we would go up again not long after we left the city? Yinyin, your medical skills are really attractive."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but pull Chen Yin's hand and stroke it back and forth as if it were a treasure.
Chen Yin pulled her hand back helplessly. "You're really getting weirder and weirder in your words and actions. Do you want to go with me this time?"
Hearing this, Liu Mengxi glanced around the clinic and spread his hands.
"I won't go with you this time. The clinic has only been open for two days and we can't leave no one behind. Besides, if both of us go, Junior Brother Xiao Qi, who brought the good news, will be left alone. So, go alone this time and be careful."
"Thank you both for your hard work." Chen Yin knew that her friend was thinking about her.
Then, she worried that the two of them would encounter a situation that they couldn't resolve, and reminded them:
"If there are patients who are not sure about their condition and their condition is not urgent, they can wait for me to come back and see them. I estimate that I will only be in the city for a day or two this time, so I should be able to come back and see them. But if the condition is critical, I must transfer the patient to another hospital and don't let them wait in vain."
"Don't worry, we know this."
Liu Mengxi looked at Chen Yin, who seemed to be chattering non-stop, and quickly put his hands on Chen Yin's shoulders and pushed her back to the backyard.
Soon, other people also knew that Chen Yin was going to the city to see a doctor.
Wu Qiufeng and Wu Dongmei were both happy about this, as if they saw a familiar shadow in Chen Yin.
The next day, before the family got up, a car stopped in front of the clinic.
The driver looked at the dilapidated clinic battered by the wind and rain with a puzzled look on his face, and couldn't help but ask the person in the back seat:
"Second Young Master, can we really find a doctor here who can treat the old man?"
"Yang Guohua is the director of the Municipal Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. He wouldn't do something aimless."
The driver was not reassured after hearing this, but became even more worried. After all, in his opinion, Yang Guohua was not someone the Rong family could look up to.
If the old man had not fallen ill when he returned to his hometown, and the doctor who was usually in charge of his treatment was still abroad, how could they find a doctor in such a remote place?
"Then I'll get out and knock on the door now." As he said that, the driver was about to open the door and get out.
Before he could open the door, Rong Qian in the back seat spoke up to stop him.
"No, there's no need to rush. Let's wait until the doctor gets up."
The driver silently withdrew his hands and legs and sat quietly in his seat, not daring to make any movement.
Just when he thought they had to wait until daybreak, he faintly heard the sound of people walking in the clinic, and from time to time there was the sound of footsteps cutting through the air.
The driver couldn't help but wonder what was going on in the clinic and why such strange noises were coming out.
Just as he was about to press his ear against the car window, a sound came from the back seat again.
"Knock."
"Yes! Second Young Master"
The driver immediately unbuckled his seatbelt, excitedly got out of the car, and knocked on the door of the clinic, still calling out, "Excuse me, is Doctor Chen here?"
The moment the sound was made, Chen Yin immediately stopped what she was doing, leaving the people exercising around her looking confused.
Liu Mengxi couldn't help but stop and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Someone came to seek medical treatment." Chen Yin immediately gave everyone the answer.
Everyone immediately thought of the phone call last night and stopped what they were doing.
Chen Yin walked behind him, prepared to change clothes, and set off with her backpack.
Liu Mengxi and Qi Wenzhong went to the front to open the door and see who was seeking medical treatment.
When the door panels of the clinic were removed one by one, the figures of the two people immediately appeared in the eyes of the driver who was eagerly waiting.
He tried to open his eyes wide to see the two people in front of him clearly, but he didn't see any sign that they could treat his old man?
He hurriedly swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and stood there without moving.
Instead, it was Rong Qian who walked out from behind the car door, wearing a well-tailored suit, slim and tall.
In the dim light, a pair of deep eyes inlaid with charming sapphires firmly attract people's attention.
Just when Liu Mengxi was fascinated by the scene, a clear voice broke her illusion.
"Excuse me, is Doctor Chen here?"
Qi Wenzhong glanced at Liu Mengxi, who was shaking his head, and immediately added:
"Yes, Doctor Chen will be here soon."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Yin's footsteps continued to approach the four people.
The driver looked at Dr. Chen with great anticipation, thinking: The two young men who appeared in front of him really scared him. How could Dr. Chen be so young?
But when he saw Chen Yin's true face, he was shocked again.
Because Chen Yin's age was completely beyond his expectations, she even looked about the same age as the other two young people, which made her look unreliable.
The driver subconsciously turned his head to glance at the second young master, waiting for his instructions.
Rong Qian was also a little surprised when he looked at Chen Yin. After all, Yang Guohua didn't tell him that Chen Yin was so young.
At this time, Yang Guohua was sleeping and had no idea that someone was talking about him in his mind.
My ears were just burning and I was immersed in an uneasy dream.
"Are you the Doctor Chen that Director Yang recommended?"
"If it was Director Yang Guohua who recommended it, it should be me, Chen Yin." Chen Yin gave an affirmative answer to the unbelieving eyes in front of her.
