Chapter 1643

As for swimsuits and swimming trunks, the temperature is high at noon now, so it's not too late to go to the city to buy them after lunch and a nap.

Everyone is not in a hurry at all, watching the children consume their energy in the vegetable field; as parents, even the grandpas and grandmas who take care of the children daily can't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Especially He He Tuoluo's family; that is truly, whoever has raised one knows.

When taking the child out to play, people around even praise them, saying how lively, generous, and fun your child is...

With four elders and two adults in the family unable to keep an eye on one child, they can only smile bitterly inside.

However, now that there is a big child leading them, they can finally let go completely and turn to the vegetable fields and orchards to enjoy the pastoral joy as well.

The air in these mountains is just so good!

Everyone sighs, chatting about how deeply and sweetly they slept last night, and how all their fatigue vanished upon waking up; this is something the high beds and soft pillows at home can't compare to.

As the host, Lu Chuan has arranged for Chef Chai and the others to receive treatment from Dr. Guo, so there's no reason not to do the same for his friends.

But he doesn't need to say much; He Kuang and Qin Yun are already rubbing their hands, wanting to go and try moxibustion properly.

On the way, they had boasted to Yun Feng about Dr. Guo's skills—

Seeing a Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor is like fortune-telling; it is a hobby deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Except for the children with elementary school diplomas, everyone else signed up enthusiastically and actively.

Song Tan laughs from the side: "Don't go on the weekend; people have to queue up there. Let's pick a time slot later and book the place for half a day."

This will require communicating with Dr. Guo to see which day hasn't been scheduled yet.

Qin Yun and the others are not in a hurry: "We're going to play here for ten days or half a month, so a little earlier or later doesn't affect anything."

They are not in a hurry, but Dr. Guo is busy to the point of not touching the ground; taking advantage of the fact that the next wave of guests is still undergoing acupuncture, she calls Zhang Zhang Yanping to discuss:

"What do you think if I make the clinic a little bigger?"

Her rural clinic was originally taken over from the village clinic; the building was built with government support, so it is quite new and didn't cost any money, but the architecture is relatively simple.

There is a courtyard in the front, and on one side, like other village plans, are the kitchen and utility room. Then there is the main hall; the living area inside was modified by Dr. Guo, and now it has become moxibustion rooms separated for men and women, as well as a small pharmacy.

The innermost part is the room where she lives herself.

It was originally enough, but this year, hasn't the effect of moxibustion come out? Many people come from other places, and it's definitely more than one person.

Now there are 6 beds in two rooms, and there are still people queuing outside.

Zhang Zhang Yanping, however, shakes his head:

"If you want to improve your living environment, you can continue to expand and renovate behind the clinic. If you want to increase the number of wards, there's no need; after all, the popularity of moxibustion treatment can't be like this all year round."

These moxa sticks are limited, and the popularity is also limited.

Unless the effects of other medicinal materials also keep up, the limitations of this kind of treatment are very strong, and it's not likely to be full every day like a traditional Chinese medicine clinic.

Instead of these, shouldn't you hire two assistants?

After a pause, he changes his words: "I mean, nurses, doctors."

With Dr. Guo's income, that little bit of staff expenditure is nothing, but she is spinning like a top; how is that any different from expanding the production of Jin Jin Yingzi pills before?

It's all just burning herself out.

Dr. Guo thinks for a while: "Hiring people is possible, and I am recruiting, but there is no place to live; several people who came to ask said they would consider it, as it's not very convenient."

If the people hired are all girls, that's fine; expanding another room behind the clinic as a dormitory is no problem.

But she not only wants to hire nurses, but also a surgeon with a foundation.

For this kind of recruitment, the probability of men is relatively high; when the time comes, with men and women, it won't be very convenient to live here.

Moreover, unless they are girls from nearby villages, letting people live in the clinic is actually not something everyone feels very reassured about.

This is indeed a problem.

But—

Who is Zhang Zhang Yanping?

He is useless at work, but he has a handful of ideas.

"What a big deal!"

"Although Tan Tan's building in town hasn't been built yet, her idea is correct. Rent a house in town; even if you hire a male doctor, you can let him commute normally and take the village bus, right?"

"Or charter a taxi in the village to pick him up and drop him off every morning and evening—it would cost at most twenty yuan a day, right?"

From their village to the town, the village taxis usually only charge five or ten yuan for a one-way trip.

"If that doesn't work, what if he has his own car?"

There are quite a few young people with cars now, right? Rent a house in town, and calculate the housing subsidy and commuting subsidy; it shouldn't be a problem.

As for Dr. Guo's plan to hire a surgeon, Zhang Zhang Yanping thinks it's no problem.

After all, ever since the skill of moxibustion spread, people in the surrounding villages also like to come here when they have minor ailments.

As for the medical quality of rural clinics...

Giving injections, IV drips, anti-inflammatory and fever-reducing drugs, just stuffing everything in; the main point is to save trouble.

That is not on the same track as the traditional Chinese medicine conditioning here.

Men like to see doctors nearby, which is convenient, fast, and efficient.

But women, when they are free, love to flock here.

The reason is simple—many physical sufferings cannot be systematically treated in rural clinics.

For example, the suffering they endured during childbirth in their early years is slow and silent now; it's hard to explain that kind of discomfort to men, but here, drinking traditional Chinese medicine can effectively condition it.

Although the price varies from person to person, and some are not cheap, once you are truly tortured, you know that even if it's not cheap, you still want to be conditioned.

After a long time, when the effects appear, other problems are also solved here.

It's great for Dr. Guo to hire another surgeon to reduce the burden.

And hiring another man, Zhang Zhang Yanping also feels at ease in his heart—he can't always guard the clinic; what if there are unreasonable people when there are more people later?

With a man, at least people will be more cautious.

Although it's not certain that this man can protect people, in today's perception, it's still a bit useful.

Otherwise, why would those drunks only bully women and children and not dare to rob a bank?

Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is just human nature.

As for the nurses... that doesn't matter.

Helping to get medicine, cupping, tidying up sundries, helping with moxibustion...

That's enough!

The requirements in this regard are not high.

With just a few words from him, Dr. Guo also becomes happy:

"We two are quite a good match."

It's not that she couldn't think of these things, but it definitely wasn't as precise and efficient as Zhang Zhang Yanping's thinking.

And as an only child, Zhang Zhang Yanping's parents value him highly, so he can be said to have never lacked money since he was a child; when doing anything, he doesn't look at money first.

In this way, his way of thinking is completely different from hers.

Guo Dong is different.

She has been in a state of lacking money and not being valued since she was a child, so even though her savings are now in the 7 figures, she is still affected by money...

You can tell from her wanting to mass-produce Jin Jin Yingzi pills before; she doesn't lack money, but she can't let go.

Now that he says this, Zhang Zhang Yanping also becomes happy instantly: "That's for sure! Fate!"

The two are chatting in the courtyard, while the patients queuing inside are carefully peeking, then whispering:

"Do you think that gangster is threatening our Dr. Guo?"

"Why do I think it looks so much like it? Look at his ferocious smile; how scary it is, smiling without laughing..."

"Is he collecting protection money here every day..."

"That can't be, right? Now they are cracking down on organized crime; besides, didn't Dr. Guo say this is her boyfriend?"

"Hey! With Dr. Guo's skills, how could she find a boyfriend like this? I think it's mostly because she is a girl alone in the village..."

Everyone frowns, worried, and has already started to ponder how to hint to Dr. Guo not to be afraid when encountering problems!

You have to call the police!

Zhang Zhang Yanping doesn't know his reputation has collapsed; he only knows his girlfriend has been too tired lately, and seeing that there are not many people sitting in the clinic, he greets:

"I'll contact Zhao Zhao Fangyuan first to see if we can slightly change the layout of the clinic, trying not to affect your business in the front."

Although this small clinic layout is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut for a designer like Zhao Zhao Fangyuan, Dr. Guo doesn't lack money in essence.

And Zhao Zhao Fangyuan has always been someone who doesn't need people to worry about anything; if possible, she can even match the water kettles and cups at home.

Dr. Guo has seen how worry-free it was when the homestay was built, so she doesn't hesitate: "Okay!"

Zhang Zhang Yanping walks back: "I'll go borrow a car from Tan Tan and just go to town to look for a house—"

If the two hired are of the same sex, there is a way to rent for the same sex.

If they are of the opposite sex, there is a way to rent for the opposite sex.

In short, go see the place and ask for the price first; the demand for renting in town is very low, so you can sign a contract at any time after deciding.

"You write 'includes room and board' in the recruitment first; for food, I'll talk to Tan Tan—I'll send you some of Chef Jiang's resume pictures, as well as pictures of the three meals and the cafeteria, and you can post them together."

After a pause, he says again: "Forget it, you go get busy; I'll handle the recruitment part for you."

Oh my!

Dr. Guo turns back to the clinic happily, thinking: The old saying is right! Men and women working together, it's not tiring.

Although Zhang Zhang Yanping is not good at farming, it doesn't matter; he can handle these trivial matters.

It sounds like he is very prosperous for his wife.

The prosperous-for-his-wife man Zhang Yanping returns to the homestay and tells Xin Jun, while sending a message to Zhao Zhao Fangyuan, and asks: "It won't work for us to always be like this."

Xin Jun is stunned: "Why won't it work?"

Isn't this quite good?

And although the cost hasn't been recovered yet, the market is clearly very good; now the occupancy rate of the homestay every weekend is half, all thanks to Dr. Guo.

Isn't this also thanks to Zhang Zhang Yanping?

Zhang Zhang Yanping shakes his head: "I'm not suitable for staying at the front desk; you're always the only one supporting the business during the day, and you're exhausted."

It would have been better to teach Song Qiao Song Qiao; the time was still very free.

Xin Jun himself has no need to go out; you can tell from the fact that he can stay in the village for so long that his nature is very homey.

But what Zhang Zhang Yanping said also makes sense.

"Otherwise..." he ponders: "Aren't you helping Dr. Guo recruit people? Recruit a front desk for us too."

Booking and checking out have a system, so you don't need much experience; the ability of an ordinary hotel front desk is enough.

When the other party is on vacation, he will come to fill in; that's quite good.

Zhang Zhang Yanping is quite embarrassed: "Saying it like this, the one who is tired is still you."

You can't say it like that.

Xin Jun's advantage is that he is gentle and easy to talk to, so there is no problem with his affinity as a front desk.

But doing business, out of 10, there are always one or two with extreme attributes.

At this time, if you want fewer disputes and fewer troubles, you really need Zhang Zhang Yanping to step out.

Whenever someone wants to pick more trouble, a phone call calls him over, and he stands at the door, and the volume of people's speech drops by 60%.

Since the homestay opened, there hasn't been a single problem; the biggest contributor is actually this Zhang Zhang Yanping who doesn't show up often.

Both sides feel that the other is irreplaceable and that they have suffered a big loss, so this business can last for a long time.

He smiles and says this, and urges Zhang Zhang Yanping to recruit another front desk quickly, which can also include accommodation—renting a house in town costs at most three thousand yuan a year, and it's still a large apartment.

Plus transportation costs—if the people recruited by Dr. Guo share the cost, the expenditure will be even lower.

They are a proper homestay, and they can pay for the five insurances and one fund; the salary is slightly higher in the city, so it shouldn't be a problem to recruit people.

After all, employment is really difficult now.

Zhang Zhang Yanping thinks for a while and also feels this method is quite good: "Then you work hard for a while..."

Xin Jun laughs: "It's not hard, it's not hard... I also need to go and condition my body often."

"Oh, by the way," he adds: "Remember to ask the villagers to see who is willing to do cleaning for Dr. Guo."

There are so many patients now, people coming and going; it would be too hard if she had to clean it herself.

As for hiring people later, the three of them cleaning together...

No need!

Lu Chuan has lived here for more than half a year; what he buys for his family and what he arranges, Xin Jun and Zhang Zhang Yanping sometimes have too.

As three urban youths, they get along very well, and each other's consumption concepts and values are somewhat influenced.

For example, Lu Chuan doesn't often buy those clothes and shoes that need care for the Song family, but Xin Jun also feels that although hiring an extra cleaner costs some money, it can save a lot of trouble.

Doctors should do doctors' things, and nursing should do nursing things!

Everyone performs their own duties, and it will be more efficient.

Zhang Zhang Yanping thinks for a while and becomes worried instead: "It's probably not easy to recruit villagers now."

To be precise, since the area of Baoshan expanded, it has not been easy to recruit people in the village.

After all, in such a small place as the clinic, the cleaner's salary cannot be very high.

But if it's 2000 yuan a month, why wouldn't people do odd jobs at the Song family's? You can earn it by working for a few days during the busy farming season.

Or tidying up the vegetable plot at home—killing insects and weeding is actually not easy either.

In short, the villagers don't look down on it, and people from other villages don't look down on it either.

Zhang Zhang Yanping's ferocious face becomes distressed:

"I'll just post a simple recruitment."

Everyone has their own troubles, but on the mountain, there is only simple happiness left.

The children's screams and laughter echo in the mountains; after listening for a long time, even Song Tan feels her brain buzzing a bit, not knowing how those who raise children manage to handle them at home.

Looking at Song Qiao Song Qiao again—well, this is also a high-energy big child.

Now, with a group of younger brothers and sisters who haven't even received their elementary school diplomas in the vegetable field, it is also incredibly lively.

Qin Yun has always felt that his daughter is a thoughtful little princess, and at this moment he explains: "She is usually very quiet at home..."

Forget it.

His own mother rolls her eyes:

When she cut the mosquito net, wore high heels, and smeared lipstick all over the floor at home, you were still playing games with others outside!

It's not that she looks down on her son; to tell the truth, if there were no daughter-in-law in this family, it would really fall apart!

Her son has a lot of bad habits; besides being able to make money, he really has no advantages.

There were a few times in the middle when they saw the signs were not right, and the old couple was so worried they couldn't sleep all night.

Fortunately, he is sensible now, hands over all the money, and only gets two thousand yuan of pocket money every month—

Oh my!

The parents' hearts let out a sigh of relief.

In a stable family, the mistakes a woman can make are mostly spending too much money or running away with the money.

But men are different; they might eat, drink, gamble, or visit prostitutes, and any one of them is a bottomless pit.

They are old and have seen all kinds of farces; today's life is truly cherished.

Qin Yun has been criticized by many parties; seeing the signs were not right, and seeing his wife smiling but not smiling, he quickly changes the subject:

"Wife, we are going to eat at Song Tan's house at noon; what should we bring?"

His wife laughs—sincerely!

Her parents-in-law are kind to her, her daughter is healthy and happy, and the family's financial power belongs to her; although her husband almost went astray in the middle, he has no major shortcomings overall.

It's quite good; putting on this face now is just to tighten the strings for him.

But going to the Song family for a meal, the proper etiquette cannot be lacking.

After all, they are Lu Chuan's friends; Lu Chuan treats them with all his heart, so they should also support the etiquette and face.

And, Qin Yun's wife knows that when the other party almost lost his mind, it was Lu Chuan who scolded him awake with harsh words.

When she chatted with He Kuang's wife in private, they both felt that this friend was exceptionally rare, and the things they prepared were also extremely sincere.

And Yun Feng's wife—the editor's family is not as well-off as them, but since everyone came together, the gifts should be as balanced as possible; finally, after discussing back and forth—

"Don't worry."

She says to Qin Yun: "I prepared some supplements and jewelry, He Kuang's family brought cigarettes and alcohol, and Yun Feng's family brought a hundred sets of books..."

Yun Feng often deals with the copyright department, and the publishing house has many acquaintances; finding some quality books in the inventory to bring over is economically affordable and very appropriate.

In short, everyone will definitely not come empty-handed!

Chatting and laughing like this, looking at the orchard in front, He Kuang first stares at the leaves and then looks at the light yellow paper bags covering the fruits in the forest:

"Can this be opened to see?"

"Sure," Song Tan laughs: "Just wrap it back after opening."

Yun Feng asks curiously: "I see that orchards now cover them with this kind of bag; is there any particular reason?"

There are quite a few reasons.

"For one, the coloring is even, and the fruit sells well. Secondly, it prevents pests and diseases, rain, and sun exposure..."

Now when buying fruit, appearance is a major scoring criterion.

Although the Song family's fruit can stand out in terms of taste, for Yan Ran and the others, this is far from enough.

To make high-quality goods, you must make high-quality goods in all aspects, so that people know at a glance that they are good things.

Therefore, the work of thinning flowers, thinning fruits, and bagging all over the mountains is also a major source of income for the villagers this year—

It is simply too labor-intensive.

It is fortunate that the Song family didn't have such a large setup last year; otherwise, in that state of being heavily in debt, they wouldn't have been able to afford to hire people.

And Yun Feng's wife points to the front: "I smell a faint orange scent; is that an orange?"

In front is a large patch of green, short, and sturdy trees, with small and exquisite fruits hanging on them, looking like both oranges and lemons.

But the land is exceptionally fresh; there are no green grasses popping up like in other orchards, only a few tender grass buds scattered here and there.

This is normal; after all, they were just planted not long ago, and today is the end of the seedling recovery period, entering the growth period again.

Song Tan looks over: "It's not an orange; it's tea citrus, bought to try making dried tangerine peel."

Dried tangerine peel?

The elders are very knowledgeable about food and become interested: "I heard the older it is, the better, right? If it's stored for a hundred years, can a single piece be sold for a sky-high price?"

"No."

Song Tan has communicated with the young lady who sells dried tangerine peel:

"Those are all rumors online. In fact, after dried tangerine peel is aged for a long time, the active substances inside are gone, and it has no effect, and it's easy to eat it and get sick; there is also a certain age limit."

But the specific age limit depends on how it is stored and the quality of the dried tangerine peel itself.

But even so, it makes everyone feel exceptionally comprehensive.

He Kuang's wife also sniffs: "I didn't expect its leaves to have a scent too."

"Yes."

Song Tan explains: "Tea citrus is the same as lemon; the branches and leaves also have a scent. The scent of lemon branches and leaves is very soft, and you can smell it when you get close. This patch of tea citrus is planted a lot, so the smell is slightly more obvious in the wind."

But it's not unpleasant; it can even be said to be good.

Everyone sniffs gently; it's like the scent of an orange, but lighter than an orange, with a slight astringency of orange peel, and a slight coolness of green grass...

In short, no one here is proficient in this, so they can only rely on their feelings and say them one by one.

Song Tan laughs, taking out scissors from the basket:

"Don't just smell it. If you like it, you can cut a few branches to take back and insert in your room; this scent can soothe emotions, and it's quite good to put in the bedroom."

Looking at the direction of the mountain: "It's a pity the time is wrong; if it were later and caught up with the papaya ripening, just take two papayas back and put them at the head of the bed; that would be truly fragrant."

Local medicinal papaya, when ripe, is a brilliant golden yellow, hard and without much moisture, and resistant to storage.

It's not good to eat, but it's exceptionally good for traditional Chinese medicine.

And the color is beautiful; as long as there are no pests, the scent can last for a long time at the head of the bed, and just smelling it makes people smile; it is truly sweet.

When this is said, everyone feels regretful again: That's right! Why is the time we came so wrong?

Looking at Lu Chuan again—

Actually, everyone has discussed it to some extent; it's a pity that he stayed in the countryside for the girl he likes.

But looking at it now, how is this rural life completely different from what they thought!

?? Done it again!!! Oh my!!! Please take responsibility for the work-related injury caused by drinking milk tea to refresh myself while working for pay, hehe!
