Druid's Country Retirement

Lunch is also an apprenticeship meal.

Compared with when Guanghua Hospital was recruiting second apprentice Sun Lianqian, Li Hongbing preferred this kind of fireworks-flavored family banquet.

There is an Eight Immortals table in the main room.

Li Hongbing naturally sat opposite the gate. Today he was the biggest host and guest of the Xu family.

Although the feudal superstition of apprenticeship is no longer popular in cities, in forest areas and rural areas, apprenticeship is still very important. After all, apprenticeship is equal to the teacher's reward.

old saying.

Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles.

Traveling thousands of miles is not as good as reading countless people.

Reading countless people is not as good as having an expert show you the way.

It is better for an expert to show the way than for a noble person to help.

If you can get a teacher in life, it is like a noble person helping you.

Teachers, so preaching and teaching karma to solve doubts.

Teachers have dignity and respect for teachers.

Apprenticeship is the top priority in learning traditional skills. In the past, the inheritance of traditional culture required an apprenticeship ceremony.

Once you are a teacher, you will be like your father for life. The relationship between master and disciple is like that between father and son. A teacher regards his disciples as his own children, loves them deeply and teaches them diligently. Only with a sense of responsibility for his disciples can he take the trouble to teach students according to their aptitude and teach them with all his heart without any confidentiality. Lao, passing on the inherited skills to his apprentices.

The disciple's speech and behavior, behavioral performance, level display, social reputation and other aspects are also related to the honor and disgrace of the master, which is also a kind of responsibility.

There is a ceremony for apprenticeship. Introducers, witnesses, and village elders must gather together to witness the grand ceremony of apprenticeship. This is also a public notarization of the master-disciple relationship to avoid future disputes.

Although Li Hongbing said to keep things simple, Xu's family really didn't dare to keep things simple and had to listen to half of what he said.

When they learned that Xiaowuzi had been accepted as a disciple by Li Hongbing, Xu family members rushed to tell each other, especially the older elders. They racked their brains and used vague memories to find out some old rules for apprenticeship.

Killing pigs, sheep, old roosters, three animals and five fruits are indispensable.

The six rites must also be prepared.

If anything is missing, the Xu family will lose face, and if word spreads, it will be said that the Xu family does not understand the rules.

Seeing that the Xu family is so solemn about their affairs.

Li Hongbing couldn't deal with it, so he asked people to remove the table and put the incense burner.

Because I didn't have a portrait of my ancestor ready at the last minute, I had to carry a needle box with me instead.

After cleansing your hands, face the southeast to worship the ancestor and place incense in the incense burner.

After three kowtows.

"I would like to inform my ancestors and masters that today Li Hongbing, the third generation disciple of the Li family's medical school, has accepted Xu Wu as his disciple and the inheritor of the Li family's medical skills. Please protect me from all the ancestors!"

In fact, Li Hongbing didn't know which generation his grandfather was a doctor in. He could only go down according to his generation. His grandfather was the first generation, his father was the second generation, and he was the third generation in his turn.

After praying, write it on the mounted paper, light it and put it into the incense burner to perform a grand ceremony.

After finishing, he and Shan Xing sat on the specially designed seats on both sides of the incense burner.

Xiao Wuzi walked into the main room holding the apprenticeship invitation, knelt in front of the incense burner, and read out the apprenticeship invitation carefully.

Perform nine kowtows to the incense burner and needle box, and then perform three kowtows to the master and his wife.

Next, they served tea to Li Hongbing and Shan Xing respectively.

After drinking the apprenticeship tea, Li Hongbing stood up, walked to Xiao Wuzi, and said in a deep voice.

"The Li family's medical school has a long history. In front of you are senior sister Li Liana, second senior sister Sun Lianqian, and you are the third disciple, named Xu Lianwu."

"A doctor cannot be trusted unless he is a benevolent person; if he is not intelligent and reasonable, he cannot be trusted; if he is not honest and honest, he cannot be trusted. His virtues are benevolent, forgiving and philanthropic; his wisdom is clear and free of misinterpretation; he penetrates the subtle and reaches the deep, without losing sight of the trivial. This is what is called a good doctor."

"Li Men's practice of medicine must be erudite, interrogative, prudent, discerning, and earnest, whether you can remember it or not."

Xiaowuzi knelt down seriously and put his forehead on the ground.

"Disciple, remember this."

"Get up!" Li Hongbing nodded with satisfaction and sat down again.

"Little Wuzi, come here!" Shan Xing waved, took out a thick stack of money wrapped in a red silk ribbon, and said with a warm smile, "I'm leaving in a hurry, and I didn't prepare any gifts, so I'll treat this money as a red envelope. , take it!”

A lot of money.

The Xu family members who crowded at the door of the hall to watch the apprenticeship ceremony showed undisguised envy and jealousy.

Look at the thickness, it's at least 3 yuan.

Doctor Li is indeed the richest man in the forest area, and he can get thirty thousand yuan just by giving him a red envelope.

Why aren't my children becoming apprentices?

Xiao Wuzi looked at the thick red envelope hesitantly, not daring to reach out and take it.

"It's a gift from my master. You can't refuse it. Just accept it!" Li Hongbing said calmly.

Only then did Xiaowuzi dare to take the money, but after changing hands, he held the money in front of Uncle Xu.

"Master, this is a red envelope given by my wife. You should keep it for yourself."

Uncle Xu burst into tears instantly, his eyes were wet with tears, and he vaguely saw his eldest son who had died long ago standing in front of him.

"Good boy, good boy!"

Li Hongbing saw his third apprentice giving the red envelope to his grandfather and nodded happily.

Know that medicine is filial piety.

It is often said that "doctors have a benevolent heart". This benevolent heart must first be reflected in filial piety. People who are unfilial will not have medical ethics. Only by being filial to your parents first and then being able to love and respect others can you become a good doctor who considers patients.

This apprentice did well.

Next, it's the master's turn to accept the gift.

Xiao Wuzi held a wooden square plate with six rites on it.

Celery, lotus seeds, red beans, red dates, longan, and lean pork strips are nothing compared to the 3 yuan red envelope, but Li Hongbing regards them as treasures.

The ceremony has reached its final stage.

The name of the witness must be left on the apprenticeship sticker.

Xu Xueli, Xu Haitao and a group of elderly people from the Xu family wrote their names on it. The Xu family members who were not qualified to write their names looked regretful.

Being able to leave his name on the apprenticeship invitation means that Xiao Wuzi owes these people a favor.

Money is hard to earn, and favors are hard to repay. If the apprentice can't pay it back, the master will pay it back.

Jianjun took his mobile phone and helped Li Hongbing and Xiao Wuzi take a group photo, and the master and apprentice took a group photo with the witnesses and others.

The ceremony is over.

A burst of firecrackers sounded.

Open the table.

The courtyard was lively and noisy, with three rounds of wine and five dishes, the atmosphere at the wine table was very lively, and the Xu family members warmly greeted Fang Wanda, Jianjun, and Li Ming.

At the main banquet in the hall, Xu Xueli, Xu Haitao and several elderly people from the Xu family accompanied Li Hongbing, toasting and drinking, talking and laughing, and it was very lively.

By the afternoon.

Li Hongbing was in a hurry to go to the next village. Although he had become a disciple, there was still a key ceremony that had not been completed, which was to guide the practice of Wu Qin Xi. So he asked Xiao Wuzi to go to Caogou Village after the National Day, and at the same time he declined the hardships of Xu's family and the villagers of Chashugou. Stay and drive away.

There's just one more passenger in the car.

Li Ming.He was also going to the next village to meet up with the inspection team members.

Just riding in the car is boring. Li Ming reported the results of the cooperation with Chashu Village.

"Mr. Li, this time the company contracted more than 300 acres of tea tree land with Tea Tree Village, but most of it is hillside and gravel land. Village Chief Xu promised to help transplant tea trees."

"The contract fee for one acre of land is set at 40 yuan, and the tentative negotiation is for 30 years. The village chief may directly sign for 70 years first. He is very afraid that we will not contract."

Li Hongbing, who was holding the steering wheel with one hand, said indifferently after listening to Li Ming's report.

"Yes, it can take as many years as you want. It's about 40 per acre, so there's no need to worry about it. There's no need to be distracted by this small amount of money. I'll find a way to improve the tea trees later and put them into production as soon as possible."

Fang Wanda in the back row also said.

"Thirteen suitable candidates were recruited this morning. The others either have elderly people at home or cannot leave."

"How many people do you need in your logistics service department?" Li Hongbing asked.

"If it is in full condition, it will require at least 100 people for the service team and another 10 people for the maintenance team."

Li Hongbing gave suggestions.

"With so many villages, it's easy to recruit 100 people. The maintenance team went to Wang Renyi. He can find someone. If appropriate, recruit him as well. He is a good person."

After thinking of something, he added.

"By the way, it's snowing now, and the flower season is about to fall. Remember to talk to Lian Qian more when you go back, so that the health care project can be started."

"Okay." Wan Wanda suddenly opened her mouth from ear to ear with joy.

Village Chief Li is such a good person. He is reminding himself that he should not forget his personal problems even when he is busy with work. Doctor Sun is the person in charge of the health care project. If he starts the health care project, he will have the opportunity to be with Doctor Sun every day.

The bread truck staggered to Peach Blossom Village.

The inspection team led by Liu Xin, who was responsible for inspecting the village, received a phone call in advance. The village chief, Lu Niu Sheng, did not dare to show off like Xu Xu. He only called Lu Dayou and a few village cadres to quietly wait at the entrance of the village to greet them.

It was already dusk when we arrived at Taohua Village.

I only walked through two villages in one day, and there were more than ten more behind me. It didn’t take a week to finish.

The village is preparing for a big fair, so there can be no delay.

After Li Hongbing got out of the car, he hurriedly met with Liu Xin and Lu Niu Sheng and directly stated the purpose of his trip.

One is to accompany Oak Company to Taohua Village to check the progress of the vegetable planting base, and the other is to recruit workers for Caogou Village.

As for the reception banquet, we don’t have to. We’ll have to walk at night to the next restaurant later.

Even though Village Chief Lu was unwilling to do so and the banquet was ready, Village Chief Li had to keep his words in mind and could only follow the guests' wishes.

While Chief Lu went to inform the villagers about the recruitment of workers, Li Hongbing used the village committee office to convene an inspection team for a small meeting, mainly about the Taohua Village vegetable planting base.

"Mr. Li, this is the report made by our team." Liu Xin took out a document.

Li Hongbing took the document and slowly wrinkled his eyebrows as he flipped through it.

The situation in Taohua Village is not much different from that in Caishugou. The land belongs to mountainous barren land. The technical term is called over-mature strata. The soil quality is not good. For agricultural production, it lacks water and nutrients and is prone to compaction.

Through sampling and analysis of crops in Taohua Village, the yield is less than 60%.

If the land is contracted, a large amount of money will need to be invested in soil repair in the later period. The repair time is three years. No crops can be planted within three years. Taohuagou Village is still short of water. The company also needs to build a small reservoir 3 kilometers away to divert water. Provide irrigation.

"Is the inspection situation so bad?"

"Mr. Li, this report is the final report given by the agricultural experts invited by the company. From the current point of view, over-cultivation in Taohua Village has led to the deterioration of soil quality, which has a great impact on oak vegetables. I personally recommend giving up Taohua Village." Liu Xin Give your thoughts straight away.

There was silence in the village committee office.

Li Hongbing considered his words in his mind, took out a cigarette, lit it, took two puffs, and spoke slowly with a solemn face.

"There is no solution to over-cultivation in rural areas. There is so much land in the first place. Everyone has to live and eat. This is bound to happen if the soil is cultivated from generation to generation."

"What we have to do is not to beat them all to death with a stick. You have to find the bright spots of this village and take a longer view. Don't be limited to the vegetable base. In the future, Oak Technology will not only have vegetables, but also diversified products such as fruits, tea, and fresh food." .”

The voice just fell.

Bang!

There was a sound of falling and breaking outside the village committee.

Jianjun quickly opened the door, and Lu Niu Sheng stood awkwardly at the door. A casserole was broken on the ground, and the fragrant smell of chicken soup wafted out.

"Village Chief Lu, why are you standing at the door? Come in!"

"No, no, I'm too old to ask for permission. I won't give you some old hen soup to relieve your fatigue. If you don't see the threshold clearly, you can continue chatting and don't worry about me."

Lu Niu Sheng said apologetically, but his face could not hide the deep disappointment.

Although I didn't mean to eavesdrop, as soon as I walked to the door, I vaguely heard the words of giving up Peach Blossom Village coming from inside the house. I panicked and dropped the chicken soup can.

"Village Chief Lu, stay and come in for a chat!" Li Hongbing noticed Lu Niu Sheng's disappointment and invited him into the house with a smile.

In fact, infertile land and deteriorating soil quality are not problems in his opinion.

Just use the power of the source to irrigate it.

But I can't say it clearly. The inspection team is also for the good of the company, and everyone has different positions and perspectives.

At first, Lu Niu Sheng had been looking forward to finally getting Village Chief Li to come to the village. He was so happy that he was so excited when he walked. But after hearing the conversation in the house, he felt like his legs were filled with lead. Every step he took was extremely difficult. .

As soon as he sat down, Lu Niu Sheng couldn't wait to ask, "Village Chief Li, I didn't eavesdrop. I just want to ask if Oak Company is going to abandon Taohua Village."

"Who said that?" Li Hongbing looked at it with a half-smile, "Your Peach Blossom Village is quite nice, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the peach trees are growing beautifully."

Hearing what Li Hongbing said, Lu Niu Sheng became more and more sure that his guess was correct.

The vegetable planting base has no connection with Taohua Village.

"Village Chief Li, you don't need to comfort me, I know the situation in the village, alas!!"

A long sigh, expressing endless helplessness.

Li Hongbing looked at Liu Xin and stared.

Look how frightened Village Chief Lu was.

Liu Xin secretly stuck out her tongue and responded with her eyes.

No one knew he was eavesdropping outside the door.

When the two of them communicated with each other with their eyes, Li Ming couldn't bear it anymore and coughed twice on purpose, asking with his eyes how it would end next.

Li Hongbing looked away slightly embarrassed and looked at Lu Niu Sheng, who was still distracted.

"Village Chief Lu, let's do this. You can discuss the details with Mr. Li of Oak Company. I think Taohua Village is very good."

very nice! !

Lu Niu Sheng's disappointed eyes rekindled the fire of hope, burning towards Li Ming.

"Since Village Chief Li has spoken, we can talk. By the way, Village Chief Lu, does your village have a map? We need to look at the terrain and select the location of the contracted land."

Li Ming pinched his nose. It seemed that Village Chief Lu didn't know that Mr. Li was the decision-maker of the company.

But yes, although Lu Dayou knew Mr. Li, he didn't know him as well as Xu Haitao. His nephew was Mr. Li's third apprentice.

"Yes, I'll get it for you right away!" Lu Niu Sheng stood up excitedly and ran to the filing cabinet, passing by Li Hongbing and giving him a grateful look.

Village Chief Li is such a good person!

In order to help Taohua Village, he did not hesitate to use his own face to intercede.
