Chapter 9 Opening...
Wu Dongmei, who was having dinner at home at the time, couldn't eat at all. She was very worried about her daughter who was going out to do something big for the first time.
Especially when my daughter and eldest brother are away from home, I wonder if they are eating well or sleeping well.
Just when she was getting anxious, she suddenly heard a friend calling her from outside the door, and faintly she seemed to hear her daughter's name.
Wu Dongmei immediately put down her bowl and chopsticks and ran out the door.
She just happened to see Chen Yin jumping down from a tall truck. The jump almost made her heart jump out of her throat.
It was the first time for Chen Yin to jump so high. She felt an indescribable excitement and joy while jumping, and she was smiling.
But the other two relatives were frightened, especially Wu Qiufeng, who caught his niece.
"Be careful! This car is very high."
Before Chen Yin could answer, she heard a crisp slap on her back. She turned around and saw that it was her mother.
"mom."
"Why are you in such a hurry? You don't need your legs anymore." Wu Dongmei glared at her daughter unhappily, then turned her gaze to the truck beside her.
Chen Yin smiled sheepishly, noticing the curious looks from the people around her, and immediately explained:
"The car is full of medicinal materials prepared for the opening of the clinic."
"So many?" Wu Dongmei followed the driver curiously to the back, only to see boxes stacked up one after another, filling the entire back compartment.
What she said reflected the thoughts of the onlookers: It’s just a small clinic, how could it use so many medicines?
But while she marveled at the thought, Wu Dongmei silently calculated in her mind how much the medicine had cost. Would her family's savings still cover the cost? Should she do more odd jobs to earn more money?
But when facing Chen Yin, she was unwilling to bring this emotion to her daughter.
Chen Yin was unaware of her mother's worries, so she asked the driver to help pass the things in the car. She and her uncle received them under the car very quickly to avoid delaying the driver's return.
When Wu Dongmei heard that the driver had to go back, she immediately started to help.
Immediately, Wu Qiufeng also stood on the carriage and took on the same role as the driver.
Seeing that there were so many medicinal materials that needed to be loaded and unloaded, Li Chunli could not just stand by and watch, so she immediately stepped forward to help.
In a flash, all those who had received favors from the Chen family, or who felt embarrassed not to help, rushed forward.
After a while, all the medicinal materials were moved into the clinic.
The rest of the processing work has to be done by Chen Yin and the others themselves.
Wu Dongmei remembered that the driver was about to leave and had no place to eat, so she quickly stuffed the homemade pot cakes into the driver's hands, as well as some pickles she made herself.
"Young man, there's nothing delicious at my place, so just eat whatever you want. You've worked so hard on this journey."
"thank you!"
It was a pleasant surprise, and he couldn't express his gratitude enough. Moreover, he earned more money this time than he usually did in two trips.
After the excitement, everyone went home.
Wu Dongmei looked at the medicinal herbs all over the ground with a frown on her face, but she remembered that her elder brother and daughter had not eaten yet, so she could only put the herbs aside for the time being.
"Let's go! There's still some food at home. Let's go cook two dishes. You two can eat first."
"Little sister, I'm coming!"
Wu Qiufeng rolled up his sleeves, walked in front, and was ready to show off his skills.
So, Chen Yin stood at the kitchen door with a dull look, watching the "hot" scene of her uncle cooking.
The pungent smell in the air could not defeat the shock she felt at the moment. Even though she knew it from her memory, it could not compare to seeing it with her own eyes.
Wu Dongmei looked at her daughter in confusion, and seeing her daughter's eyes gradually turn red, she kicked the man out.
"What's so good about your uncle's cooking? It's choking. He just likes to put all those messy things in it."
Chen Yin was like a puppet, being pushed forward by her mother and sitting blankly on the chair.
Only while eating did she understand what her mother meant.
Before, she thought the food at home was very spicy, but it was nothing compared to her uncle’s.
In the end, she had to put her chopsticks on the food her mother cooked.
After the meal, Chen Yin returned all the remaining money from buying medicine to her mother.
“Why are there so many left?”
Although Wu Dongmei didn't know the current prices of medicinal materials, she also added a sum to her husband's expenses every time. It was good if she could buy all the medicinal materials she needed. How could there be any left over?
"Little sister, you don't know this!" Wu Qiufeng was very proud when talking about this.
"Yinyin cured the son of Mr. Xu, the herbal medicine seller, so he only sold it to us at the purchase price. We didn't spend much."
Wu Dongmei had no doubts about this, and quickly reconciled herself, saying proudly, "Our Yinyin is amazing."
Chen Yin smiled embarrassedly, and the atmosphere in the room was very pleasant.
Because he still had work to do tomorrow and it was getting dark, Wu Qiufeng stayed in the backyard of the clinic.
The next day, after getting up, Chen Yin first practiced the Five Animal Exercises, which scared away Wu Qiufeng's yawn when he went out.
Wu Qiufeng was so shocked by his niece's ferocious movements that he was speechless. It took him a while to regain consciousness and he asked tentatively:
"Yinyin, what are you doing..."
"Practice the Five Animal Exercises to strengthen your body. Uncle, do you want to join us? The Five Animal Exercises were created by Hua Tuo. They are very effective in strengthening the internal organs, tendons, and bones, and can even help prolong your life."
Hearing the first half, Wu Qiufeng nodded in agreement. The fight really did look a bit like beasts. But he was unwilling to perform these extremely strange movements in public.
But when he heard the second half, which said it could prolong his life, he immediately became interested.
Even if not for himself, he would learn it for the sake of his parents at home.
"Yinyin, I want to practice too. Please teach my uncle."
"Okay! Uncle, stand here with your legs apart..."
Under Chen Yin's guidance, Wu Qiufeng, despite the simmering shyness, stretched his limbs, controlled his breathing, and savored the effects of the Five Animal Play. When Wu Dongmei came out to call them to dinner, she saw them performing strange movements.
My daughter wanted to teach her before, but she had to wait until her waist was healed.
She watched silently for a while, and when she noticed that her eldest brother was sweating profusely, she reminded the two of them to have breakfast.
After the meal, the three of them quickly got busy, putting the herbs into the cabinet one by one according to the mottled names on the cabinet.
Chen Yin moved up and down the ladder. After a day, her hands and feet were weak. The only thing she was thankful for was that she finally put all the herbs into the cabinet.
In order to tell his family the news, Wu Qiufeng hurried home and prepared to bring his family to visit the day before the opening.
The next day, Chen Yin followed her mother's instructions and bought paint to depict the names of medicines on the medicine cabinet.
She watched the yellow, iridescent paint flow from the tip of the brush and marveled again at the effects of modern technology.
From bottom to top, golden and shining fonts appeared on the medicine cabinet.
Wu Dongmei was sorting the herbs in the yard when she passed by and saw her daughter writing on the cabinet. She couldn't help but sigh:
"Nowadays, your handwriting is getting better and better."
If you listen carefully, you can detect a hint of nostalgia in the words.
Chen Yin was startled and almost dropped the pen in her hand, leaving an ugly mark on the cabinet. Before she could explain, her mother spoke again.
"Back then, your handwriting was taught by your father himself."
After saying that, Wu Dongmei left quickly, not wanting her daughter to see her sad look.
Although her mother spoke in a low voice, Chen Yin still heard it. Her heart ached and she didn't know what to say.
Then she glanced in the direction of the attic, looked around, and promised again to revive Huimin Hall.
Soon, it was the day before the opening.
As a relative, Wu Qiufeng brought his family to help early in the morning.
It’s just that there aren’t many rooms in the Chen family’s backyard, otherwise he really wants to call the whole family over to have fun together.
It's easier to get things done with more people. Soon, everyone cleaned the clinic inside and out.
Aunt An Hongying put down the handkerchief in her hand, looked around, and nodded with satisfaction.
Then he turned his gaze to his sister-in-law, "Dongmei, have you bought the firecrackers and red cloth? And the celebratory procession, these are all the rage in town now."
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, everything is ready. The firecrackers are in the warehouse, and the red cloth will be hung up with the plaque tonight. The team has already been contacted, so we will have a great time tomorrow."
After hearing Wu Dongmei's arrangement, Grandpa Wu and Grandma Wu nodded with satisfaction.
In the following time, everyone was imagining the excitement of tomorrow.
In the evening, a thin figure slowly approached from a distance.
An Hongying recognized the other party's identity at a glance and greeted him quickly:
"Qingluan, come here quickly! Dinner will be served soon. What's going on? Is there anything going on at school today?"
As she spoke, she walked quickly over, put her arm around her niece's shoulders, led her into the house, and pushed her in front of Chen Yin.
"Qingluan, do you remember? This is your cousin Yinyin."
Wu Qingluan quickly raised her eyelids to glance at Chen Yin, then immediately retracted her gaze and timidly called out, "Cousin Yin Yin."
"Qingluan, please sit down and let's eat together." Chen Yin greeted with a smile.
Because of the age difference, she didn't know much about her second uncle's daughter.
Hearing this, An Hongying directly pushed Wu Qingluan to sit next to Chen Yin, and sat on the other side, and whispered a reminder:
"Don't be afraid. Your cousin is the most powerful person in Tongxi Town. You should learn from her in the future."
"Yeah," Wu Qingluan responded in an inaudible voice.
The reunion dinner ended with joyful laughter and a new day began.
That night, many people in the clinic couldn't sleep and got up before dawn.
When they appeared in the yard, the group looked at each other's sparkling eyes and smiled knowingly.
The same goes for Chen Yin.
When I thought about having my own clinic soon, I couldn't suppress the excitement in my heart.
I tossed and turned all night, almost spending the long night waiting with my eyes closed.
Finally, as everyone expected, the auspicious time arrived.
With the sound of firecrackers, the clinic quickly attracted the attention of everyone on the street, and many people moved towards the clinic.
Chen Yin stood at the side of the gate, clutching the red cloth, and worked with her mother.
With a pull, three large golden characters appeared on the plaque - Huimin Hall!
