Chapter 53: Banner of Thanks
After hearing the reason behind it, Liu Mengxi remembered who the person was that he seemed to have forgotten before.
She smiled a little embarrassedly, "It seems I have to wait for Junior Brother Xiao Qi, so I can have an extra free laborer."
The next day, Huang Xuan brought her son to the hospital for a follow-up check-up on time.
At first glance, Chen Yin and Liu Mengxi could confirm that the child was showing significant results after taking the medicine.
Because when Li Shu appeared this time, he was obviously in much better condition, with a lot of color on his face, and only a thin layer of blue remained under his eyes. It can be seen that he was in much better condition after taking medicine and resting.
What is even more eye-catching is that Li Shu did not stay buried in his mother's arms, timid, but instead looked at Chen Yin and the other person with curiosity.
Huang Xuan noticed the doctor's gaze, and the smile on her face deepened. She said gratefully:
"Our whole family is grateful to Dr. Chen for his kindness. Without you, we don't know what would have happened to our child."
As the child's mother, she knows the child's situation best and naturally understands how much the child has changed in the past two days.
After saying that, Huang Xuan held the child and bowed deeply to Chen Yin.
"You're welcome. Bring the child over quickly so I can check on his condition."
Hearing Chen Yin's words, Huang Xuan immediately stood up and handed the child in her arms over.
Although the child's physical illness has improved a lot, the habit accumulated over the years still makes him subconsciously want to avoid Chen Yin's approach.
Helplessly, Huang Xuan could only hold the child in her arms and see the patient as she did last time.
After a series of diagnoses by Chen Yin, it was confirmed that the child's condition had been mostly cured, and all that remained was to put in some effort in daily life.
She first replaced the Anshen Dingzhi Pills that the child had taken with modified Lily and Rehmannia Decoction, which was more suitable for the child's current condition.
At the same time, she also emphasized the precautions for daily care of children.
"After returning home, it would be best to take the children to do some simple exercises to strengthen their bodies. Winter is coming soon, so we should pay attention to preventing colds and other illnesses to prevent them from recurring. Also, the daily diet must be light and nutritious. Don't let the children always imitate the eating habits of our southwest region."
"Hey hey hey!" Huang Xuan couldn't wait to agree and promised:
"Doctor Chen, I will definitely follow your medical advice to take care of the child and will never let him relapse."
Then, Chen Yin handed the written prescription to the other party.
"Go get some medicine."
Huang Xuan took the prescription excitedly, knowing that if nothing unexpected happened, she might not see Dr. Chen again for a long time.
So the moment she stepped out of the door, she turned back with the child in her arms and bowed deeply to Chen Yin again.
After saying goodbye to Huang Xuan and her son, the clinic returned to its previous tranquility.
Liu Mengxi was not used to such a quiet atmosphere, but when she realized this, she couldn't help but shudder in her heart.
I thought: Has she been influenced by Yin Yin? Why doesn't she even like to rest?
Just when she was confused, she suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums.
Liu Mengxi mistakenly thought that the sound was coming from someone's TV or tape recorder, but she soon realized that she was wrong.
Because the sounds in my ears were getting louder and louder, it was obvious that the team beating drums and gongs were approaching the clinic.
She stood up curiously and stretched her neck to look into the distance.
Soon, she saw a huge, colorful team blocking the entire street. She thought there was something exciting to watch and shouted excitedly.
"Auntie, Yinyin! Come quickly, it seems like someone is having a wedding on the street."
"happy event?"
Wu Dongmei searched her mind carefully, but had no recollection of any wedding being held nearby. Curiously, she put down the account book in her hand and walked towards the street.
Chen Yin also went out to watch the fun.
Like them, other families on the street came out to watch the procession with curiosity on their faces.
The merchants closest to the street were the first to see the line, and couldn't help but shout out in shock at the line that was almost blocking the street.
"Which store is opening? They invited such a large team. How much does it cost?"
"Hey! Besides the gongs and drums, there's also a lion dance—"
"Lion dance! Where is the lion dance?"
Everyone had only seen this novelty on TV, so when they heard that there was a lion dance in the team, they all poked their heads out curiously.
After a while, a magical scene appeared on the streets of Tongxi Town.
A group of people were walking slowly on the street, beating drums and gongs. There were also people dancing lions, which aroused cheers.
Curious heads pop out on both sides of the street, forming a unique landscape.
Seeing the grand performance of the lion dance team, everyone was very curious about which store was celebrating and followed the lion dance team forward.
Soon, the lion dance team will arrive near the clinic.
Someone couldn't help but speculate: "Could it be that Huimintang invited them?"
As soon as he spoke, he was immediately refuted by the people around him, "How is that possible? Huimintang has been open for a long time, and there are no anniversary celebrations or anything like that. Besides, do you think the medical fees collected by Doctor Chen can afford to pay for the team in front of us?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the thing that had just been denied as impossible became a reality.
Because the lion dance team stopped directly when they reached the gate of Huimin Hall.
People beating gongs and drums stood on both sides of the clinic's gate, and two lions stood in front of the gate, one on the left and one on the right. They began to show their superb lion dance skills to the sound of music.
The people around couldn't help but cheer loudly. "Good! Good! Good!"
"One more! One more!"
"good!"
…
For a moment, everyone was immersed in the shock brought by the lion dance and completely forgot why the lion dance appeared in front of the clinic.
It was not until the lion dance stopped and the music faded that everyone remembered what they had been thinking about.
Someone who was familiar with Wu Dongmei asked directly:
"Dongmei, what's the big happy event in your family? Why did you invite the lion dance troupe from TV? It's quite lively."
"I don't know how much this lion dance troupe costs. I'd like to invite them over for my dad's 70th birthday to liven things up."
"It costs dozens of yuan to play gongs and drums in town. I'm afraid it's not cheap."
Before Wu Dongmei could even say anything, a group of people had already completed the process.
In the end, she had to wait until everyone stopped talking before she had the chance to explain.
"Our family doesn't know either. We didn't invite the team."
After saying that, Wu Dongmei frowned and looked at the leader of the lion dance team, wanting to ask who invited them over. Her family didn't hire anyone, so it was impossible for her to pay.
Before he could utter a word, a familiar face appeared in front of the clinic.
The first time Chen Yin saw the other person, she realized that it must be his work. After all, lion dancing to celebrate was not popular in their Dongyu.
"Comrade Rong, did you invite the team?"
Although it was a question, the tone of voice when speaking was very firm.
Rong Qian smiled proudly and took the thank-you gift, a silk banner, which had been prepared long ago, from his secretary.
The red flag was inscribed with the four big characters "Miraculous Hands Bringing Back Spring", and also had the names of Chen Yin and Mr. Rong, as well as the date, written on it.
As soon as the banner appeared, it instantly ignited the atmosphere.
"Oh my! Why didn't I think of giving Doctor Chen a banner? What a wonderful gift."
"Who said it couldn't be the clinic's lion dance troupe? Now you see it, don't you? It's the patient's family who came to express their gratitude."
"This is really a big deal. Compared to the silk banners, the lion dance team and the gongs and drums should be more expensive, right?"
…
Amidst the crowd's discussions, Rong Qian held the banner in both hands, slowly approached Chen Yin, and said with a smile:
"Doctor Chen, my grandfather was fully conscious the day after you left. Knowing you only accepted a small fee for the consultation, he felt guilty and repeatedly asked me to express our family's gratitude."
"After much thought, I feel that for a master of traditional Chinese medicine like you, the most appropriate banner is the one that praises you the most. The words on it were written by my grandfather himself as a token of his respect for not being able to be here in person."
As a doctor, there is no higher honor than receiving a banner from a patient and his family.
Liu Mengxi couldn't help stamping her feet in excitement, and carefully pushed Chen Yin forward to take it.
He was still whispering, "Yin Yin, go quickly, go quickly."
Chen Yin really had no reason to refuse the banner. She took the banner handed to her by Rong Qian with both hands, and looking at the yellow words on it, a sense of satisfaction arose in her chest.
"Thank you very much."
"This is what you deserve, Doctor Chen. I wonder if you have time recently? My grandfather would like to personally treat you to a meal as a token of his gratitude."
When Rong Qian saw Chen Yin accept the gift, he finally felt relieved and immediately made his grandfather's request.
When asked to treat her to a meal, Chen Yin shook her head to refuse.
"I'm sorry, I have other plans at the moment and I'm afraid I won't be able to keep the appointment."
"What a pity."
After saying that, Rong Qian looked up and took in the entire clinic, and reaffirmed his inner thoughts.
"I wonder if I can go into Dr. Chen's clinic and take a look?"
"Come in!" Chen Yin took a step aside, stretched out her hand, and motioned the other party to come in.
Rong Qian also extended his hand and asked Chen Yin to walk in front.
Then, the two of them walked in one after the other.
Wu Dongmei and Liu Mengxi followed curiously, and soon took the banner from Chen Yin's hand, wanting to engrave the appearance of the banner in their hearts.
Outside the clinic, Rong Qian's secretary glanced at the clinic, waved his hand, and signaled the lion dance team to leave.
After a while, the lively scene in front of the clinic disappeared, but it did not affect the enthusiasm of the onlookers at all.
"As soon as I saw that young man, I knew he came from a special family. Could he be interested in Doctor Chen?"
"They are a perfect match, talented man and beautiful woman!"
"Who wouldn't want to be with Doctor Chen, with her medical skills? But I see a businessman's shrewdness in this young man's eyes, which doesn't quite match Doctor Chen's personality."
"The woman is talented and the man is wealthy, what does it have to do with you gossipers?"
…
During the discussion, many people quarreled directly on the street because of their different opinions, which is also a scenic spot in Tongxi Town.
It only took Rong Qian a quarter of an hour to see the entire clinic.
The situation was just as he thought. The clinic was small and dilapidated, which was incompatible with Chen Yin and her medical skills.
So, he turned around, met Chen Yin's gaze, and suggested:
"Doctor Chen, have you ever thought about expanding the clinic? Renovating it."
"To be honest, the first time I came to seek medical treatment, I felt that this clinic didn't look like the environment of a famous doctor. With Dr. Chen's medical skills, as long as his reputation spreads, he will definitely be visited by a constant stream of patients. This clinic is still a little too small."
"Comrade Rong, you're worrying too much. The clinic hasn't encountered the situation you described yet. Our town has a limited population, so the clinic is sufficient."
Following Rong Qian's words, Chen Yin imagined the scene of a crowded clinic, but it seemed very far away from her.
Moreover, the space for their clinic is limited. Unless they can purchase other land, the clinic can only maintain its current size and at most build a few more floors.
But no matter which construction method is used, it is too early for Huimin Hall now.
Rong Qian felt that Chen Yin had underestimated the charm of his medical skills. He seemed to have already seen the scene of the clinic being packed with people.
Then he took out his business card from his pocket and handed it to Chen Yin.
"Doctor Chen, I believe this clinic will soon become a huge success. This is my personal business card. You can contact me at any time using the phone number above. If you ever change your mind or have an idea for a new clinic, you're welcome to call me. Our Rong family will always contribute to your Huimintang."
As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Yin felt that the business card in her hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
"Comrade Rong, I..."
"Doctor Chen, you don't have to refuse. You saved my grandfather's life, and that means you saved the life of our Rong family. It's just a clinic, not worth mentioning."
After saying that, Rong Qian turned around and left gracefully, leaving Chen Yin standing there with the business card in her hand.
Looking at Rong Qian's receding back, Wu Dongmei and Liu Mengxi slowly approached with banners in their hands, their eyes scanning the business cards.
When I thought that the other party was the patient's family member who was generous, I couldn't help but think about the possibility of him helping to build the clinic.
Liu Mengxi keenly noticed the name and company name on the business card, and couldn't help but take a breath and said in surprise:
"This comrade Rong's Rong is the Rong of Gangcheng Xinrong!"
As she spoke, she unfolded the banner in her hand, carefully stroked the yellow characters on it, and asked:
"Isn't it possible that the words on it are written in gold?"
When Wu Dongmei heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She quickly put her eyes close to the font and observed it carefully with a frown.
"Hiss~ That shouldn't be the case, right?"
But after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it was very likely. After all, for someone who spent 500,000 foreign currency at a time, it didn't seem difficult to write with gold powder.
Thinking of this, Wu Dongmei quickly snatched the banner from Liu Mengxi's hand and said in a serious tone:
"No, this banner can't be hung directly outside. I need to go to the photo studio to buy a frame and frame it, otherwise I won't feel at ease."
Wu Dongmei did it right away. She carefully rolled the lettering inward and took the banner to her room and hid it.
Then he strode towards the photo studio, obviously ready to do something big.
Liu Mengxi stared at his aunt's actions with a dull look in his eyes, not even able to retract his outstretched hand.
After a long while, she turned her neck intermittently, looked at Chen Yin and said:
"Yinyin, isn't Auntie exaggerating a bit too much?"
"Didn't you just remind her?" Chen Yin reminded her kindly.
Hearing this, Liu Mengxi scratched his head helplessly and smiled embarrassedly, "I didn't expect that either."
The two smiled at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
Chen Yin put the business card in her hand at the bottom of the drawer, turned around and started preparing today's lunch.
Liu Mengxi stayed by the side to help light the fire. The only sounds in the kitchen were the crackling sounds of sparks exploding and the sound of her sniffing when she was tempted by the fragrance.
When Wu Dongmei returned home with the satisfactory photo frame, Chen Yin and Liu Mengxi had already prepared the meal.
After the meal, the three of them framed the banner and placed it in the most conspicuous place in the clinic, ensuring that everyone who entered the clinic could see the banner at a glance.
It can be said that this purpose was very successful, because the moment Qi Wenzhong returned to the clinic, he discovered the existence of the banner.
The red and yellow color combination is particularly eye-catching against the brown main color of the clinic.
As Qi Wenzhong entered the door, he was attracted by the rich colors opposite. As he approached, he silently read out the words above.
When Wu Dongmei saw his little expression, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
In recent days, whenever such scenes appear, she can't help but smile.
Isn't it? As soon as Qi Wenzhong walked up to her, Wu Dongmei couldn't wait to explain the origin of the banner.
Listening to the lively scene she described, Qi Wenzhong wished he could be there, and once again felt annoyed that he could not stay in the clinic at any time.
I have already started counting the days left in this semester, looking forward to the day when I can stay in the clinic for a long time.
Faced with his aunt's proud tone, Qi Wenzhong praised her without hesitation.
"Sister Yinyin's medical skills are so good that she should have received a banner long ago. Aunt, in my opinion, we should first spruce up one wall of the clinic. In the future, there might not even be enough space to hang banners."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Imagining that scene, Wu Dongmei couldn't help laughing out loud.
The laughter reached the clinic. Chen Yin and Liu Mengxi looked at each other helplessly, not knowing what to say.
Ever since the banner was hung up, the laughter of the two people has been constant, and it has become a unique landscape in the clinic.
Almost every person who comes in to see the doctor will be greeted by Wu Dongmei's smile when picking up medicine.
Chen Yin did not disturb her mother's pleasure and continued to see patients.
But this time, my mother and Qi Wenzhong chatted for an unusually long time, and they didn't stop until Chen Yin and the other man finished their consultation.
Seeing that there were no other patients coming, several people processed the medicinal materials together and chatted.
With the experience from previous times, they prepared the herbs quickly and went out early the next morning in the bitterly cold wind.
By the time the group arrived at Qingshan Village, they were all hot and their foreheads were covered with sweat.
Seeing the miserable appearance of his granddaughter and her group, Li Chunhe quickly waved them to go into the kitchen to warm up and dry the sweat.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Come inside first, I'll make you a bowl of ginger soup to drive away the cold."
Having said that, grandma immediately got busy, not giving Chen Yin and the others any chance to refuse.
If you catch a cold, drinking a bowl of ginger soup is just right to drive away the cold.
Sitting by the stove, the sweat on their bodies dried up in a short while. The three of them put on their coats and drank ginger soup, and they had completely recovered from their exhaustion.
Just like last time, as soon as they arrived at the village party secretary's house, someone came to inquire about the news.
After confirming the specific time of the free clinic, I immediately went back with the news to make arrangements.
But this time the person who came was not Wu Yushu, but Wu Yushi from the village party secretary's family.
Chen Yin couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, and learned that because her uncle's family decided to grow Chinese medicinal herbs, and the secretary's grandfather's family followed suit, the planting of Chinese medicinal herbs in the secretary's grandfather's family was entrusted to Wu Yushu.
It is obvious that they hope that Wu Yushu can master the planting techniques and make money with the villagers in the future.
When I think about the fact that Yushu, a young man, has been staying in the village just to inherit the wishes of his grandfather, the village chief, this arrangement is not very surprising.
Chen Yin took a look at the situation at home and asked curiously:
"Grandma, have Grandpa, my uncle, and my aunt gone to clean up the barren mountain?"
"The weather has turned cooler recently, so it's a good time to clear the mountain. First, cut down all the big trees. Then, clear a buffer zone at the foot of the mountain. When the time comes, burn it and everything will be cleared away."
"When setting fire to the mountain, you must pay attention to safety and not cause a fire." Chen Yin said worriedly.
Li Chunhe nodded and said calmly:
"Don't worry, every household handles barren hills this way. We all have experience, so there won't be any problems. And we don't have to burn it now. We have to wait until it rains."
Liu Mengxi and Qi Wenzhong could guess how huge the scene would be just by imagining it, and couldn't help but say doubtfully:
"Won't such a thick smoke attract the police from the town?"
"Burning it piece by piece, by the time word gets to town, the mountain will have been cleared."
Li Chunhe waved his hand nonchalantly. As a native villager, he had his own experience in handling forests and had no worries at all.
Seeing that she couldn't convince him, Chen Yin could only remind Wu Yushu again and again when she saw him the next day.
Wu Yushu nodded in agreement and said, "Yinyin, everyone knows to pay attention to fire safety. Besides, my grandfather is the village party secretary, so he will definitely enforce the law strictly."
"That's good. Planting is a good thing. Don't let it turn into a bad thing."
Only then did Chen Yin finally feel relieved.
For the next few minutes, everyone was busy on their way and had no time to talk.
Because the village they were visiting this time was particularly remote, they had to cross many mountains and follow the trails in the valley to get there. I don't know how the other party knew that Chen Yin was providing free medical treatment nearby, and they actually came to visit the village party secretary.
Chen Yin decided on this farthest village only after carefully examining the map of Tongxi Town.
I think in such a remote place, there must be a shortage of medical care and medicine, and they need the help of doctors even more.
With this thought in mind, an hour and a half later, Chen Yin and her group saw the prototype of Dawangshan Village.
Wooden houses stand in the mountains, their roofs made of the cheapest thatch and tree bark. There is not a single brick house, and the economic situation is worrying.
Seeing this scene, Chen Yin subconsciously quickened her pace.
"We'll be there soon. Just one last push and we can start sitting down and seeing patients."
As soon as Liu Mengxi heard it, she knew that Chen Yin was talking about her. With her previous experience, she had tried her best to exercise, but it was still difficult for her to sustain the high-intensity trek.
But looking at the impoverished mountainous area in front of her, she took a deep breath, raised her feet and continued to move forward.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have found it hard to imagine that there could be such a poor place.
