A doctor who travels through two eras
Chapter 412: Lin Family Sacrifice at the End of the Year
Lin Sanqi left Shaoyang alone. His next stop was Zhejiang Province, where he had two more doctors to recruit.
It was a rare opportunity for Bi Xinglong to return to his hometown, so Lin Sanqi allowed him to stay at home for a few days, and then he went to Peking with Feng Shiqi's family.
It turned out that the doctors laid off from Union Hospital, Digital Hospital, Friendship Hospital and other hospitals were scattered all over the country. It would take Lin Sanqi all by himself to find them one by one, not to mention a month, even a year would not be enough.
Therefore, during the one-month period when the hospital was shut down for relocation, doctors like Bi Xinglong all took their letters of introduction and transfer letters to look for their former colleagues, which would increase efficiency.
Although the top leader gave 1000 positions, Lin Sanqi's requirement was quality rather than quantity. He only wanted the best doctors, including a group of employees from the Union Hospital and the Digital Hospital.
Lin Sanqi went from Shaoyang to Loudi, then took the Shanghai-Kunming Railway eastward and got off at Jiangshan Station in Zhejiang Province. There was a doctor he needed in Jiangshan.
But he did not go to find someone immediately. Instead, he stayed in a guesthouse and had to go back to 2014.
The Spring Festival of 1960 has passed and the Spring Festival of 2014 is about to begin. As an outstanding descendant of the Lin family, he certainly cannot miss it.
……
……
Pingle Village, Yin Family.
Yin Lianyi was leaning against the head of her bed when her phone suddenly dinged and a bank transfer text message came in:
"XX Bank: Your account 7490 received a bonus income of RMB 1 from Enterprise Internet PC on January 29"
The boss sets the bonus amount, the finance department calculates the year-end bonuses for all employees, and then transfers the money to each employee's salary card via bank transfer.
So even though Yin Lianyi is the Minister of Finance, she is still concerned about the arrival of her year-end bonus.
"Wow~~~ I'm rich~~~"
After counting a long string of zeros, Yin Lianyi jumped up excitedly and skipped around the room.
Suddenly the door opened and Jiang Shufen stood outside the door angrily:
"Chuitie Zi, you are such a grown-up, but you are still as crazy as a child. Look at Ah Hong, Pei Pei, and Shi Yi in the village who are about the same age as you. They are all mothers now, what about you?"
When Yin Lianyi heard this, she quickly covered her ears and said, "I don't want to hear it!"
"Is it any use not to listen? You will be 25 after the Chinese New Year. If you don't get married, you will be an old maid. The teacher your aunt introduced to you last time is so good. She has a stable job and is respected. Why don't you go and take a look?
And the guy your fifth sister-in-law introduced to you, he runs a big business in the grain and oil market, with 5 shops. He's handsome and energetic, and I like him. But you refuse to go on a blind date with him. What are you thinking?"
Yin Lianyi let out a wail, it seemed that girls could never escape the fate of being urged to get married.
In the Dongguan area, parents all hope that their daughters will get married early and give birth to several sons early, thinking that such a life is perfect.
In the eyes of Dongguan parents, no matter how successful a woman is in her career, it is useless. Unmarried women are considered different and shameful in the eyes of the villagers.
Hearing that their mother was scolding their eldest sister again, their younger brother Yin Lianbo and younger sister Yin Lianliu both ran over to watch the fun, then covered their mouths and laughed.
"Mom, I just joined the new company not long ago. You can see that I am very busy every day. How can I have time to fall in love? Don't rush me. When the time comes, I will naturally help you bring your son-in-law back."
Jiang Shufen was obviously not satisfied with her daughter's answer:
"Look at Shilou Village across the street. You have a male classmate named Lin Sanqi, right? He's the one who always quarreled and fought with you in elementary and middle school. I heard he was expelled from university? He doesn't even have a job.
Some people see him riding the family tricycle every day to work as a helper in the family's rice shop and go to our village's grain and oil market to wholesale grain. He looks so dirty and embarrassed. Many villagers are laughing at the Lin family. Do you know how embarrassing it is?
He has no diploma, no job, and no wife. What about you? You graduated from college, and I gave birth to you so beautiful and with a good figure. Do you want to be a single woman like Lin Sanqi and let our family be laughed at by the villagers? "
Yin Lianyi blinked, "Mom, when is this old news? Who told you that Lin Sanqi from Shilou Village has no job and no wife? Don't listen to nonsense. What if it gets to the Lin family..."
What Yin Lianyi was thinking was, old auntie, you are blind to the truth, Lin Sanqi's future wife is standing right in front of you!
You are now cursing the Lin family in the village. Will you be embarrassed when you become relatives in the future?
Jiang Shufen didn't know what her daughter was thinking, and continued to belittle her daughter, with the attitude that Shilou Village was her sworn enemy:
"So what if the Lin family finds out? Do you still want to marry that loser from the Lin family? I tell you, even if I agree, the grandfather in the family won't agree. Ah, why am I getting angrier the more I think about it, are you going to go on the blind date or not?"
Jiang Shufen was so angry that she looked around and saw a broom behind the door. She picked it up and was about to hit someone.
Yin Lianyi was so scared that she quickly hid in the corner of the room, then took out her cell phone and shouted:
"Stop~~~ Mom, look, how much did I get in my year-end bonus?"
"Year-end bonus, year-end bonus. You gave up your good banking job and went to work as a financial officer in a small private company. You are crazy. Banking jobs are easy and glamorous, and your reputation will sound good if you tell others about it. Why do you work for a private company and then tell others about it..."
"Wait, how many zeros are there?"
Jiang Shufen's hands were shaking as she held the phone.
Yin Lianbo and Yin Lianyu also ran over when they heard it and helped count:
"One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million, ten million. Wow, big sister, is this true? Your year-end bonus is ten million?"
Yin Lianyi raised her chin:
"Hehe, the year-end bonus is 200 million, and the basic salary is 1200 million. The income after working for half a year is million. Mom, do you think I should be this strong woman? What kind of man would go on a blind date with me?"
"Wait, wait, wait, wait, you're just a fresh graduate with no work experience and no business resources. Why would they give you so much money? Just because you're pretty?"
Jiang Shufen slapped her thigh and said, "Ayi, you are so stupid, are you the boss's mistress?"
Yin Lianbo and Yin Lianyu showed horrified expressions on their faces: "Big sister, no way, you are going to be beaten to death by dad!"
Yin Lianyi almost spat out a mouthful of blood after hearing this, and blood splattered three feet away:
"Mom, what kind of person do you think I am? How could I be a mistress? This is what I deserve. Humph, if I want more, it will be far more than ten million."
In fact, what she was thinking in her heart was that she had become a future boss lady. Although the sales company didn't have much else, the billions of working capital a year were all under her control, right?
Jiang Shufen was still worried: "What kind of job do you have to earn so much money? Did your boss get his money from the wind?"
(Lin Sanqi likes this manually!)
Yin Lianyi was somewhat helpless:
"Okay, mom, stop guessing. Don't you believe your daughter? My company is in the Shilou Tiandi office building. My current position is the financial manager of Lingnantang Pharmaceutical Company. You can come and ask at any time.
It's a good thing that your daughter can make money. How can you belittle your daughter like this? How about it, little brothers and sisters, tell me what gifts you want for the New Year, and I'll take care of it, hehe."
Yin Lianbo and Yin Lianyu shouted after hearing this:
"Wow, long live the elder sister~~ I want to buy an iPad~~"
"Sister, I want to buy a PS game console~~"
"Okay, let's go to the mall today. You can buy whatever you want, but we have to agree that you can only play video games and computers on weekends~~"
"Okay~~"
Looking at her three excited children, Jiang Shufen couldn't be happy at all. Her daughter's sudden wealth was not a good thing in the eyes of the old woman. She felt that there must be a shocking conspiracy behind it.
……
……
At the gate of the Lin Family Ancestral Hall, tomorrow is the day to worship our ancestors.
Today is already very lively. All preparations have been completed, and basically all the descendants of the Lin family scattered around the world have returned.
For the Dongguan and Hujian people, they can choose not to come back for other festivals, but they must come back for the annual Spring Festival to worship their ancestors, and they must come back for the Qingming Festival to visit the graves.
The purpose is nothing more than for the rich to come back and show off to their ancestors, saying which branch of their descendants has made something of themselves and not brought shame to their ancestors.
Those who have no money should also cry and complain to their ancestors, hoping to be blessed by them in the coming year. They should not just bless so-and-so's family and not others'.
Although women are not allowed to participate in ancestor worship, all the offerings must be taken care of by women, and they must be women who have parents, children, and spouses. This is a very high requirement.
The wives of the clan leader, the richest man in the clan, and the highest-ranking official are the most glorious ones because they can serve as half-mistress of the ancestor worship ceremony and are envied by the clan members.
Chief Lin Peidong was giving orders with a cane in hand. He had the final say on how the offerings should be placed, how the people should stand, and how the procedures should be followed.
The Tianhe Sports Center to the west of the village was also very lively, and the tribesmen were busy making preparations.
Tomorrow, after the ancestor worship, all Lins will have a dinner together, with 666 tables set up, and there will also be a cultural performance. This time of year is the most exciting time for young people, because every year there are stars performing, and the village collective dividends for the year will be distributed during the performance.
All dividends are distributed in cash. A red wall of money made of hundred-dollar bills on the stage can make everyone's hormones boil.
Didi~~Make way~~
Seeing two large van trucks driving towards the ancestral hall, Uncle Lin became unhappy:
"What's going on? Have the people in the village protection team lost their minds? Every year during the ancestor worship ceremony, all the roads in the village are closed and no cars are allowed to enter or leave. Do they think my words are just winds falling on deaf ears?"
Every year, there are sacrifices and various activities that take several days, plus dinners, so every household in the village is empty. So at this time of year, the village protection team will actually block the village to prevent petty theft or fire accidents.
At the same time, when worshiping their ancestors, every household had to offer tribute. The ancestral hall was too small to accommodate the offerings, so all the offerings had to be piled in the small square at the door and on the road.
When the firecrackers are set off and paper money is burned, it will be lively, but there are serious safety hazards after all.
The patriarch got angry and everyone shrank their necks.
But I saw a figure leaning out of the passenger window of the truck: "Grandpa, it's me, I'm here to deliver rosewood furniture~~~"
Uncle Lin knew what was going on immediately and ran over excitedly:
"Make way, make way. Move the tribute table to the side and let the big truck come over!"
The truck stopped at the small square in front of the ancestral hall. Lin Sanqi jumped out of the truck and announced the good news with a smile:
"Grandpa, I bought you the whole set of rosewood furniture you wanted. Let me tell you, this was passed down from the prince's family. It cost me 2 million yuan."
Even though Uncle Lin was well-informed, he was still horrified when he heard the number of 2 million.
"Qizi, this is too expensive, isn't it? The village can afford 2 million, but if you ask me to spend 2 million to buy a set of furniture, I'm afraid my tribe members will scold me for being old and confused if they know about it."
Lin Sanqi waved his hand:
"Grandpa, this set of furniture is donated by my dad to the clan to show the intentions of my dad, the 51st generation descendant of the Lin family."
Uncle Lin's eyes lit up when he heard this: "My dear son, don't worry, your father will definitely join the clan committee next year, and I will personally give him a purple jacket, I say."
Lin Sanqi was waiting for these words: "Okay, Grandpa is straightforward. I thank you on behalf of my dad. Come on, unload the goods."
After Lin Sanqi finished shouting, more than a dozen strong men jumped down from the truck and began to open the compartment.
The other tribesmen who didn't know the truth all gathered around. Gossip is human nature, and everyone wanted to see what treasures Lin Musen's family donated to the tribe.
As soon as the carriage door opened, hundreds of people at the scene all exclaimed in surprise.
The dark brown furniture in the carriage emitted a dazzling light under the sunlight, and a solemn and domineering atmosphere was overwhelming. Even a layman could see that this set of furniture was not ordinary.
Many of the "upper-class clan members" who were drinking tea in the ancestral hall also came out after hearing the exclamations outside.
These relatives who came back from overseas were all wealthy and powerful people, so they naturally had high standards. When they saw the furniture on the car, they also exclaimed:
"Wow~~~ Rosewood~~~"
"Is this a complete set? This wood carving pattern is a typical Ming and Qing imperial style."
"This set of furniture is not cheap. The two cars together cost hundreds of millions."
In fact, Lin Sanqi didn't know how much this set of tables, chairs, stools and screens were worth. He just casually said 2 million. The actual price was 20 tons of flour, which was bought from a poor prince's family.
All the furniture that the prince liked in the entire palace was cleared out, including a golden nanmu desk, which was particularly valuable. Of course, Lin Sanqi did not donate it.
Rosewood was not valued in the 1960s. It was difficult to burn after being chopped up for firewood, so it was not very popular.
What is rare is that this set of furniture is a complete set, with a four-clawed dragon. I guess the only furniture in the red sandalwood museum opened by Tang Monk in the whole country can compare to it.
The porters and tribesmen began to unload the goods, while Uncle Lin happily introduced them to the tribesmen:
"This is Lin Musen's eldest son, the 52nd generation grandson. Don't underestimate him because he is young. He has opened a Lingnantang Pharmaceutical Company. The top-quality ginseng and cordyceps in the southern market are all from his family.
This set of red sandalwood furniture was donated to the ancestral hall by Lin Musen's family and is worth 2 million yuan. So next year I decided to let Ah Sen join the clan committee. I think everyone should have no objection, right? "
When they heard that Lin Musen donated 2 million yuan, even the wealthy people in front of them were all shocked and stuck out their tongues.
At most, these clan members donated a few million at a time, and some donated tens of millions, but that was a cumulative amount. Currently, only Lin Musen's family donated 2 million at a time.
If such clan members cannot join the board of directors, the authority and fairness of the board of directors will definitely be questioned by the clan members.
"I agree. If young people like Arsen work harder, we old people can retire."
"Yes, if someone is willing to donate 2 million yuan to the clan, who would dare to disobey if they tell others about it?"
"I know Lingnan Hall. I also bought a lot of ginseng in the United States. It turns out that this is our tribe's industry."
Uncle Lin saw that no one objected, so he smiled and said to Lin Sanqi:
"Okay, it's too late this year, let's wait until next year."
Lin Sanqi was ecstatic. His father had joined the Presbyterian Church, so he could be called the Crown Prince of the Lin family from now on.
There is strength in numbers. Soon all the rosewood furniture was carried into the ancestral hall and placed there. With the lighting on, the hall immediately looked more upscale.
Everyone who saw it was amazed.
Even Uncle Lin couldn't help but take out his phone to take a few pictures, and then posted them to the Tianhe clan leader group, and then boasted about it in a voice chat:
"Look, a full set of rosewood furniture. Only princes could use it during the Qing Dynasty. Isn't it more impressive than the second-rank official furniture in your Dai family?"
"As for the Yin family of Pingle Village, their ancestors have never produced high-ranking officials, let alone owning such royal furniture, they are not even qualified to touch it."
The old man never forgets to step on his old rival, which makes the WeChat group lively.
Pingle Village Chief Yin Jishui was so angry that he took a screenshot and forwarded it to the village group:
"The bunch of losers from Shilou Village got a set of red sandalwood furniture. If anyone in our Pingle Village can get such furniture next year, I will let him sit as the clan leader."
……
……
The next day, the Lin family's ancestor worship ceremony officially began.
The clan leader was in the first row, the clan committee members in purple jackets were in the second and third rows, the outstanding descendants in red jackets, and the male members of higher generations were in the back row. Hundreds of people filled the ancestral hall.
All the other 3,000 male members of the Lin family stood in the square, holding incense in their hands, and lined up from front to back according to seniority. The youngest boy was held by an adult brother. In short, no one was left out.
Lin Sanqi, Lin Hai, Lin Jianghe and others stood together, bowing and kneeling according to the instructions from the loudspeaker.
The clan leader was busy reporting his work to the ancestors. Lin Sanqi knew that the Year of the Snake was over and was looking forward to the new year.
In the evening, the whole village gathers for dinner, with 666 tables set up. Although the chef's job has been outsourced, the waiters need to be adult men of the 52nd or 53rd generation.
Lin Sanqi, the newly crowned billionaire, director of a department, and colonel, also had to wear an apron and hold a plate to start serving the tribesmen.
The eldest brother of the 52nd generation, Lin Yangping, is the deputy director of the Huadu Land and Resources Bureau; the second brother, Lin Jixu, is the director of Huadu No. Primary School; the third brother, Lin Hang, is the president of Feihang Real Estate Company; the fourth brother, Lin Xi, is the director of Shipai Police Station...
Anyway, no matter what official you are, or whether you are the chairman or the general manager, you have to be a good waiter at this time.
If anyone is arrogant because of his status, believe it or not, Uncle Lin will beat you to death with his cane.
After finishing all this, Lin Sanqi sat down to rest while looking at the sky full of fireworks with a relaxed expression.
Now that I have a golden finger, 2014 is really exciting... (End of this chapter)
