Siheyuan: The prosperous era starting from being a doctor

Chapter 493 Five-Year Contractual Responsibility System and Household Contract Responsibility System
Five years have passed since Wang Mengde became the dean.

The changes at the Chinese Academy of Traditional Medicine and Guang'anmen Hospital can be described as earth-shattering.

In the old campus area, the office buildings haven't changed much; they've just been repaired and patched up, and a few small buildings have been added next to them.

But the number of staff has increased far too much.

Moreover, a large portion of them are young people in their twenties.

They are all top graduates from various TCM colleges.

Alternatively, they can intern at Guang'anmen Hospital or learn from renowned TCM doctors at the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Because the postgraduate system was implemented many years ago, many famous TCM doctors have always had young people around them.

After graduation, the vast majority of these students stayed at Guang'anmen Hospital, enriching the ranks of doctors in various departments.

In just ten years, these people will become the backbone of the hospital.

They have all received scientific and systematic training and have a solid foundation.

In addition, he was intelligent and eager to learn, and each teacher imparted their knowledge selflessly.

These young people's medical skills are far superior to those of the apprentices who studied under their masters for more than ten years during the master-apprentice period.

In particular, after Wang Mengde improved the teaching materials, each student, after several years of study, acquired more extensive knowledge than postgraduate students in later generations.

This is the change in the old hospital area.

The biggest changes are actually in the new campus and branch campuses.

Previously, the Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine only had a few research institutes, such as internal medicine, surgery, and acupuncture. During Director Lu's tenure, two more were added, but the total number still did not exceed ten.

In the five years that followed, Wang Mengde increased the number of research institutes within the Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine to eighteen.

These newly added research institutes were all located in the new campus.

Anyway, the purpose of building the new campus in the first place was for expansion.

In addition to the research institute, all departments of Guang'anmen Hospital were also split up.

For example, the dermatology department initially had only one department, but now Wang Mengde has divided it into Dermatology Department 1, Dermatology Department 2, and Dermatology Department 3.

The advantage of this is that it gives hope to those below.

Otherwise, there would only be one department, and that would be the only number of positions available for the department head and deputy head.

Moreover, most doctors don't retire at a certain age; many department heads or deputy heads can work for ten or twenty years.

In this way, the outstanding talents below will lose their opportunities for advancement.

Many people will then have other ideas.

They might be indecisive or give up entirely.

Now it's divided into three or four departments, so there are four department heads and at least twenty deputy heads.

Many young and skilled people will work even harder and strive for advancement.

Besides this function, it can also create competition and make everyone feel a sense of urgency.

The daily evaluations and year-end performance appraisals for each department.

These are like small whips, lashing out at the medical staff in the department.

Of course, there's no problem with staffing even after splitting the department into so many sections.

After all these years of training, there are now hundreds of thousands of TCM students in China who have undergone systematic training.

The most outstanding students among these students all gathered at Guang'anmen Hospital.

Initially, there weren't enough spaces available because there were too many departments.

This problem was not solved until later, after the branch campus was built.

Moreover, Wang Mengde plans to build two more branch hospitals in the next two years.

One of them is also planned to be built in a surrounding province.

night.

Around six o'clock.

Today, Wang Mengde finished his work earlier than usual, and then rode his bicycle to the staff quarters in the new hospital area.

Over the years, he has become more adept at handling his work.

I can only spare a maximum of two hours each day to process documents and attend meetings.

For the rest of the time, he continued as usual, either doing research, seeing patients, or treating foreign patients.

Ten minutes later.

Arrive at the gate of the community.

When the security personnel in the guard post saw him arrive, they immediately stood up, saluted, and respectfully said:

"Dean Wang, you're off work, please come in."

"Hehe, hello, thank you for your hard work."

Wang Mengde stopped his bicycle, smiled, and nodded.

The security work in the staff quarters is entirely handled by the unit's security department.

Although the security in Beijing was much better than in other places, Wang Mengde remembered that many families owned guns in those days, and there were also quite a few ruthless bandits.

The staff quarters of Guang'anmen Hospital are very famous in Beijing.

Even ordinary doctors living here often come from families with good financial conditions.

There are even quite a few leaders with very high ranks who earn one or two hundred yuan a month.

In addition, Guang'anmen Hospital occasionally provides some benefits.

To outsiders, the residents of this community are all incredibly wealthy.

Many people are extremely envious.

Naturally, there will be those with ulterior motives who will try to take advantage of this.

and so.

To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, Wang Mengde specifically instructed the security department to allocate a portion of its personnel to patrol and stand guard day and night.

Entered the community.

It was lunchtime.

There aren't many people outside.

However, whenever they bump into each other, they always greet him warmly.

Some people even wanted to invite him to their homes.

Wang Mengde declined all the enthusiastic offers from employees or their families.

It took him quite a while to get to the apartment building where he had bought the apartment two years prior.

Two years ago.

The newly built staff housing for employees of Guang'anmen Hospital has finally been completed one by one.

Dozens of eighteen-story skyscrapers were quite a sight in this day and age.

In other words, with the support of foreign engineers, as well as technology, equipment, and raw materials, Guang'anmen Hospital simply could not have been built on its own.

Don't say anything else.

The technology and construction equipment involved in the design are not something that can be easily produced domestically.

There are also so many building materials such as steel and cement.

Even with Wang Mengde's influence, it's impossible to gain so much all at once.

Even before it was completed, many employees and their families would come to take a look every day.

Even if it's not fully decorated yet, once it's built.

Many people risked going in to take a look.

They have a great interest in buildings with elevators.

Even outsiders would sneak in for a visit.

When they came out, everyone had a look of shock on their faces.

We arrived at the tenth floor.

There are two households on each side, forming a layout of two staircases and four households, which is extremely similar to that of later generations.

Wang Mengde chose two three-bedroom apartments on the tenth floor.

Since it's already fully furnished, you can move in immediately with just your belongings.

So they bought some furniture and household items and let Wang Yuandi and Wang Yuanxun move in.

Of course, sometimes other children, or Ran Xiaomei, would come over to stay.

When I entered the house, the meal was already prepared.

The family sat around the eight-immortal table, eating and chatting.

“Yuan Di, Yuan Xun, you two are both over twenty years old. Do you have a suitable girl? You should make your move sooner rather than later.”

Ran Xiaomei glanced at her two eldest grandsons, then smiled and said, "Ever since we moved in here, I've been mentioning them from time to time."

The first two years were fine; back then, the two of them were just twenty years old.

Starting this year, she has been mentioning it more frequently, sometimes even for two days in a row.

"Grandma, we're still in school, which is a crucial time. We don't have time to date right now. Let's wait two years until we graduate with our master's degrees."

Wang Yuandi replied somewhat helplessly.

After graduating from Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, he and his younger brother were admitted to graduate programs under Vice President Shi of the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine with excellent grades.

I have less than two years left before I graduate.

I will definitely stay and work at Guang'anmen Hospital after that.

As for why they didn't study under Wang Mengde, it's because they had been by his side since childhood, and he had already taught them everything he needed to.

It would be better to learn from another renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctor; you might be able to acquire some other knowledge that way.

"You still have to wait. Your dad wasn't even as old as you were back then, but he was already married."

Now he has achieved such great success, and I don't think marriage and studies can interfere with each other at all.

Ran Xiaomei put some food on the children's plates, then shook her head and said.

"Grandma, we dare not compare ourselves to Dad, he's a monster."

We listened to his story for four years at the Beijing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Now that I'm at the Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, working under my mentor, I still hear about his great deeds all the time; I'm practically tired of hearing about it.

Wang Yuanxun cracked a joke.

However, what he said was true.

Wang Mengde has been quite busy these past few years.

He can develop several drugs every year and overcome some diseases that the medical community has not yet been able to solve.

Many of their achievements are Nobel Prize-level.

Medical experts around the world are discussing one thing right now.

That's the Nobel Prize. Just how many Nobel Prize certificates does Wang Mengde owe?

He also appealed to the Nobel Prize committee to award him for his previous achievements as soon as possible within the next two years.

And it would be best if they won consecutively.

After all, it has been proven over so many years.

His invention of artificially synthesized bovine insulin was a stroke of genius in the fight against diabetes.

Pain relievers have freed countless patients worldwide from pain and even helped them break their addiction to 'leaf'.

If these two achievements cannot win the Nobel Prize, then there is no need for this prize to exist.

This is the voice of some extreme medical professionals.

It is said that the members of the Nobel Prize Committee have been seriously considering this issue recently.

They originally didn't want Wang Mengde to win the Nobel Prize again, since they had ulterior motives for winning it the previous time.

Unfortunately, they ultimately failed.

But the situation is different now.

Wang Mengde's achievements over the years are truly astonishing.

Those internationally renowned medical experts have all become his 'fans'.

Its influence is growing day by day.

"Nonsense, what monster? It's just that your dad studies hard and studies diligently. You should all follow his example and learn from him."

Ran Xiaomei continued her sermon.

Even though her son was indeed somewhat extraordinary, she still believed that it was the result of Wang Mengde's own hard work.

After eating.

in the living room.

Some TV dramas are playing on the television.

Ran Xiaomei suddenly said to Wang Mengde:
“Mengde, tomorrow is the weekend. If you have time off, go back with Yuanchao and Weiguo, and take the two children to visit your grandmother.”

The brothers Wang Yuanchao and Wang Weiguo got married early.

But because I need to go to school, I haven't had children yet.

It wasn't until two years ago, after we graduated, that we each had our children.

With the child born, it was natural to let Wang Jinghui and Wang Tianshi see him.

Last year, it was because the child was still young and couldn't withstand the stress.

He's over two years old now and quite robust. Plus, the weather is perfect—sunny and breezy—so it's a good time to go back to our hometown for a visit.

Over the past five years.

My grandparents' health gradually deteriorated.

Wang Mengde had a premonition that it would probably happen within the next three to five years.

Therefore, no matter how busy he is, he will always make time to go back home once a month.

Firstly, it's to spend time with the two elderly people, and secondly, it's to improve their physical condition using acupuncture, massage, and acupressure techniques.

"I'm free this weekend, I'll go over early tomorrow."

Wang Mengde agreed.

Even if Ran Xiaomei hadn't said anything, that was his plan anyway.

Moreover, she had made arrangements with her two younger brothers in advance.

the next day.

As soon as the sun rose, Wang Mengde, along with his two younger brothers, their wives, and their children, arrived at Tiangezhuang.

at this time.

Wang Tianshi and Qin Jingru were busy in the small vegetable garden in front of the door.

"Grandma, we're here."

Upon arriving at the vegetable garden, Wang Mengde greeted everyone.

After his acupuncture and herbal medicine treatment, Wang Tianshi's hearing became much more sensitive, almost 80% of that of a normal person.

"Oh, Mengde, you've arrived! Jingru, quickly go to the yard and bring over some stools."

Wang Tianshi said with a look of surprise.

"Grandma, these are your great-grandchildren, they are only two and a half years old."

Wang Yuanchao and Wang Weiguo each stepped forward holding a baby and said.

They even bent their knees slightly so the other person could see them cleanly.

"Oh my, these two little chubby babies are so cute."

Wang Tianshi was overjoyed. Seeing her two great-grandsons, who were so robust and healthy, she was so happy that she didn't know what to do with her hands.

She kept praising how good-looking the two children were.

yard.

After sitting down, Wang Mengde asked curiously, "Grandma, where did Grandpa go?"

"Your grandfather has gone to the fields."

Wang Tianshi carefully hugged one of her great-grandsons and casually said something.

"Oh, why is Grandpa still working in the fields? He doesn't need to earn work points at home."

Wang Mengde said with a somewhat unpleasant expression.

Wang Jinghui is getting old, and his health was compromised when he was young, so he has some minor health problems from time to time.

In other words, with him around, these minor problems can be controlled.

Otherwise, it would have developed from a minor illness into a serious one long ago.

"Haha, we all tried to persuade him, but he just wouldn't listen. However, when he goes to the field, he just takes a look."

You probably don't know this, but the country has now implemented the household contract responsibility system, and our family has been allocated several acres of land.

From now on, this land belongs to our family. As long as we pay the grain tax on time every year, whatever is left over, no matter how much, belongs to us.

Wang Tianshi was very happy when she talked about this.

For the first half of their lives, they never owned their own land and always rented from other families.

After liberation, a few acres were briefly allocated, but that only lasted for a few years before they were all taken back.

Unexpectedly, a new policy was suddenly implemented this year.

After the land was distributed, most of the people from each household went to their respective fields.
