Republic of China: Guandong Ginseng King

Chapter 128: Shi'an Hall Medical Clinic

Qu Shaoyang didn't think about anything else. He just followed what his master said. He led everyone to load up everything, and then took Xing Jia and Xing Ye with them and drove away on the sled.

There are not many official roads from Maoer Mountain to Kuandian. Most of them are mountain roads. It is quite tiring to climb up and down the hills and the winding roads take five or six days to walk.

But it is much faster to travel on the Yalu River in winter.

There was a thick layer of ice on the surface of the river, and the horse-drawn sleigh was running very fast on it.

Qu Shaoyang, Xing Jia and Xing Ye were all wearing thick cotton jackets and thick cotton trousers, with leather jackets and leather trousers on the outside.

He wore a fur hat and a scarf on his head, deerskin boots over big socks on his feet, cotton gloves made of rabbit hair on his hands, and roe deer skin under his buttocks.

With this equipment from head to toe, you won't get frozen even if you sleep outside in the cold winter.

The three men drove the horse-drawn sleigh across the river, getting up early and going to bed late all the way. On the evening of the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, they arrived at Kuandian City.

After entering the city, the three of them went straight to an inn to stay in and have a good night's rest.

The next morning, Qu Shaoyang changed his clothes, led Xing Jia and Xing Ye, and drove a sled to Chen's house.

Before moving, Doctor Chen left an address for Qu Shaoyang.

Qu Shaoyang asked people on the way and found the place according to the address written on it.

It turned out that Doctor Chen opened a medical clinic in Kuandian City, named Shi'antang.

I guess it’s because Doctor Chen is a good doctor, there are a lot of people coming to see him, and many people are queuing up.

When Qu Shaoyang saw it, he asked Xingjia Xingye to wait on the side while he went in to take a look first.

When I entered the clinic, I saw that it was quite grand inside, much better than the one I had in Daqinggou before.

Two young men were standing behind the counter dispensing medicine, and an accountant was hired at the other end. Doctor Chen was sitting at the table, concentrating on taking the patient's pulse.

Seeing this, Qu Shaoyang didn't want to disturb them and could only wait patiently.

After a while, Doctor Chen finished examining the patient in front, wrote a prescription, and was about to call the waiter to get the medicine when he suddenly looked up and saw a familiar figure.

"Hey, Shaoyang?" Doctor Chen shouted in surprise.

Qu Shaoyang stepped forward and bowed, "Uncle Chen, long time no see, how are you these days, Uncle Chen?"

Doctor Chen quickly called the waiter over, handed him the prescription and asked him to get the medicine, then walked forward, grabbed Qu Shaoyang's hand, and looked him up and down.

"You said you were a kid, I haven't seen you since you came back from rafting in the summer.

When you have nothing to do, why don't you come and sit with your uncle? Your aunt is always nagging you, and I don't know what you are busy with when you go home."

Doctor Chen was particularly enthusiastic when he met Qu Shaoyang.

"Uncle, I can't explain it clearly in a few words. I see you have a lot of patients. Let's do this, you go ahead and do your work.

My master asked me to bring some mountain products. Tell the waiter to open the door and I will move the things to the yard first."

When Qu Shaoyang looked over, he saw that the people waiting in line to see the doctor were all looking at them.

We can't just chat with them and delay their medical treatment, so he suggested.

"Hey, okay, look at you, you always bring something with you when you come back, why are you so formal?
Xiao Hai, hurry up and open the gate, and help Shao Yang move the things to the yard." Doctor Chen called another waiter over and instructed.

The guys all had sharp eyes. As soon as they saw Doctor Chen's attitude, they knew that the young man who came today was extraordinary.

So the waiter did not dare to delay and immediately led Qu Shaoyang out from the back hall and opened the door from the inside.

Then Qu Shaoyang led Xingjia Xingye to move the things off the sled.

At this time, the waiter had already gone to the backyard to inform Li and Chen Xiuyun.

Of course, the waiter didn’t know who Qu Shaoyang was. He just said that a young man had come and the shopkeeper was quite enthusiastic towards him.

Li and Chen Xiuyun didn't know who it was, so they hurried out to check. When they got to the front yard, they saw that it was Qu Shaoyang, which made Chen Xiuyun very happy.

"Brother Shaoyang? Is it really you? How come you have time to come to the city?"

Chen Xiuyun happily ran to Qu Shaoyang, hugged Qu Shaoyang's arm and asked.

Qu Shaoyang was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Li. Seeing that there was no unhappy expression on Li's face, he felt relieved.

Then, Qu Shaoyang pulled his arm out without leaving any trace.

"Oh, isn't it almost New Year? Master sent me here to give some New Year's gifts to my uncle and aunt."

No matter how stupid Qu Shaoyang is, he can still say polite words, not to mention that he is not stupid at all.

"Aunt, my master and I made these when we went up the mountain.

There are wild boar meat, venison, roe deer, some skins, mountain products and so on, please don’t be disgusted, auntie.” Qu Shaoyang pointed at those things and said with a smile.

There are so many things, either for food or daily use. Although they may not be rare in the mountains, they are worth a lot of money in the city.

How could Li not be happy when they sent it from far away? She hurriedly asked the servants to lead the way and move all these things to the backyard.

The guy named Xiao Hai, together with Xingjia Xingye, worked together and it took them two trips to move all the things to the backyard.

Then Qu Shaoyang talked to Xingjia and Xingye and asked them to send the horse sleigh back to the inn first.

He also gave them some silver and asked them to buy New Year's goods according to what was written on Lin Ruolan's list.

Xingjiaxingye was quite smart. He took the silver and the bill and left immediately. Qu Shaoyang went to the backyard with Li and Chen Xiuyun to sit for a while.

"Shaoyang, who were those two guys just now?" Li asked after all three of them sat down.

“Oh, that’s the family guy.

My master and I bought a piece of wasteland, about six or seven hundred acres.

There is too much land for us to reclaim by ourselves, so we hired a dozen people to reclaim the land in the fall and plant the crops in the spring and summer. "Qu Shaoyang explained.

Upon hearing this, Li nodded and looked at her daughter beside her.

"Okay, you are a really serious kid. Just buy some land if you have money. Land is the most reliable at any time.

If you take good care of these hundreds of acres of land, you will get a lot of benefits every year. It is a hundred times better than taking risks in the mountains and water fields."

Li had always been very nice to Qu Shaoyang, and now she likes him more and more.

It has to be said that Qu Shaoyang is now definitely the best candidate for son-in-law in the eyes of many mothers-in-law.

The young man is good-looking, capable and good at earning money. His family has a house and land, and they live a prosperous life.

The key is that the parents are not around, so the daughter-in-law doesn't have to be bound by rules when she enters the family. The young couple can live their life behind closed doors and have the final say in everything. How great is that?

"Shaoyang, can you stay a few more days when you come to the city this time?

Well, you can’t leave today. It’s the Little New Year, so we’ll make dumplings tonight and stay at home today.”

Li said this and stood up.

"Well, Xiuyun, you stay and talk to Shaoyang for a while. I'm going to be out for a while. Your brother should be back soon."

The family had everything they needed, so Mrs. Li just wanted to find an excuse to go out and let the two young people be alone together for a while.

Don't talk about rules or etiquette.

It's rare to meet a good guy. If you don't seize the opportunity, he will be snatched away by others.

I can’t do it anymore. I have been writing ten thousand updates for ten consecutive days and I really can’t write anymore. I will post the four updates, each with eight thousand words, all at once. I won’t update during the day.
