Era: I was a farmer at the foot of Yaoling Mountain

"I thought it would be much more, but it's only this little bonus. Third Brother, have some water first, the food will be ready soon."

Pan Lianhua and her sister had already eaten dinner. There was supposed to be another meal after the commendation meeting, but Fang Wei insisted on rushing back, so they missed the mealtime.

At this moment, my older sister is heating up food in the kitchen.

Before long, Pan Lianhua brought over two dishes and a soup, which was quite a feast.

"Have you and your older sister already eaten?"

Fang Wei was really hungry at the moment, so he ate while talking to his wife.

“We’ve all eaten, take your time, have some soup. By the way, Binbin called, he said he’d like to come visit soon.”

Pan Lianhua sat down beside her and then told her that her son was coming.

Why did he decide to come over now? Did something happen?

Fang Wei was taken aback, feeling that something was amiss.

"He said he'd been feeling really tired lately and wanted to get away for a while. Now that you mention it, I'm starting to have some doubts. I'll ask him about it later."

Pan Lianhua couldn't understand why Binbin chose to come at this time. He was the only doctor on duty at the clinic. If he left, wouldn't the clinic have to close down?

However, she didn't ask any more questions. Let her son come if he wants; it's good for him to rest for a while.

Fang Wei asked at this moment, and she also felt that something was wrong. She wondered to herself, "Could it be that my son and his wife had a fight?"
Fang Wei didn't say anything, quickly finished her meal, and immediately dialed Binbin's number.

"Binbin, why did you suddenly decide to come over here? Tell me, is something the matter?"

"It's nothing major. Xuemei signed up to support the Northwest and will be working in Shahe County for a year. I didn't want her to go, but I couldn't persuade her otherwise, so I agreed to send her there."

"Supporting the development of economically underdeveloped areas is a good thing, why didn't you say so before?"

Hearing this, Fang Wei finally felt relieved.

That brat! He doesn't explain himself clearly, causing his parents to make all sorts of wild guesses. He really deserves a kick.

"I'm afraid my mom will scold me, I'm worried she'll blame me for not being able to control my wife."

Binbin felt helpless. Fang Wei had found someone to change Liu Xuemei to a less demanding job, but after a while, she felt that she was wasting her life.

There happened to be a counterpart support program, and she impulsively signed up.

Binbin was angry but could understand, though he was afraid his parents would object.

"Your mother and I aren't old-fashioned, we don't care about your little affairs. But I still want to praise Xuemei here, people should follow their own hearts, it's good to have some ambition. But, now that you two are gone, what will happen to the child?"

"Xuemei's parents will be arriving soon, so they can take care of the child for now. I'll drop Xuemei off there and be back soon. One of us needs to stay with the child, right?"

The father and son talked on the phone for a long time, and Fang Wei's only advice was not to let the child leave his parents.

Binbin said he would consider it carefully, and then hung up the phone.

While Fang Wei was on the phone, Pan Lianhua sat beside him listening. At this moment, she couldn't help but purse her lips.

“Binbin spoils his wife too much. How can she abandon her husband and children to pursue her so-called meaning in life? Third Brother, if you ask me, you should have said something to Binbin earlier.”

Pan Lianhua's expression was not good. She felt that she had misjudged Liu Xuemei before, and did not expect that the other party was such a family-neglecting person.

Fang Wei shook his head, not entirely agreeing with Pan Lianhua's statement.

At least Binbin himself agreed in the end, otherwise Liu Xuemei wouldn't have been able to leave even if she wanted to. A year isn't a long time; if everyone overcomes the difficulties, it will pass quickly.

If the couple really can't bear to part, Binbin can bring the child over to keep Liu Xuemei company.

Closing the clinic for a year is no big deal; we're not short of money anyway.

"Lotus, this is what I think."

He then shared his thoughts with Pan Lianhua, whose eyes lit up. Ultimately, she hoped her son would be happy and her family would be harmonious.

the next day.

Pan Lianhua then called Liu Xuemei directly and gave her this suggestion.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xuemei thought it was indeed a good idea. Her child had just started school, so it wouldn't be a problem for him to study away from home for a year.

She said on the phone that she would discuss it with Binbin.

That evening, Binbin called and said that he and his wife had discussed it and decided that all three of them would come over.

Shahe County is not far from Xiachu County. If Liu Xuemei is too busy with work, she can leave her child in Xiachu County to be taken care of by Pan Lianhua and her sister.

A week later.

Binbin and his family of three arrived in Xiachu County. When the child heard that he could see his mother every week, he agreed to stay there.

Afterwards, Binbin took Liu Xuemei to Shahe County and returned three days later.

"Is Xuemei all settled in? What are your plans next?"

Fang Wei was very happy to see that her son was in good spirits.

In his view, this was a very ordinary matter, and there was absolutely no need to get angry or argue. Isn't this a good way to handle it?

"It's not good for me to be idle all day, Dad. How about you ask around at the county hospital here? Is it okay if I work there temporarily for a year?"

The child is usually looked after by his older sister and Pan Lianhua. Since the little guy goes to school every day, there isn't much to do.

On weekends or holidays, Binbin can take the children to visit Liu Xuemei and then rush back on Sunday night.

But he was very free from Monday to Friday, and he couldn't just stay at home all day doing nothing, so he came up with this idea.

“Sure, definitely. But the conditions at the county hospital aren’t great, so be prepared. I’m not sure if they have a traditional Chinese medicine department, I’ll call and ask later.”

Fang Wei readily agreed, knowing that with his connections at the county hospital, it was no big deal.

But if the county hospital doesn't have a traditional Chinese medicine department, what can Binbin do there? The pharmacy doesn't even have Chinese herbal medicine, which is a real problem.

in the afternoon.

Fang Wei called the director of the county hospital and told him about Binbin's situation.

"Mr. Fang, our hospital does have a Traditional Chinese Medicine department, but we may not have a full range of herbal medicines. Your son is exceptionally qualified; let alone becoming an external doctor, getting a license to practice medicine would be a piece of cake for him."

The dean readily agreed and was genuinely pleased.

He didn't care about the conditions; as long as the other party was willing to come, he would find a way to solve all the problems. It's just a pity that the other party only agreed to work for one year, and will still have to leave when the term expires.

"Thank you, then I'll have him come find you."

Fang Wei thanked him, then went home and told Binbin to go to the People's Hospital to see the director the next morning.

Binbin went to the county town early the next morning. To make it easier for him to commute to and from get off work, Fang Wei specially arranged a car for him to use.

When Fang Wei returned home that evening, she didn't see Binbin. She asked Pan Lianhua and found out that her son hadn't come home yet.

"If it's already this late on the first day, won't it be even busier in the future?"

Pan Lianhua muttered something to herself and told her sister to prepare dinner, as they wouldn't wait any longer.

As soon as she finished speaking, Binbin went into the house and told Fang Wei about what had happened that day.

The hospital took him seriously, but the procedures were a bit complicated, and he didn't get into the Traditional Chinese Medicine department until the afternoon. The county hospital's Traditional Chinese Medicine department was practically deserted, with only a handful of patients and not many patients throughout the day.

Binbin went to the pharmacy again to ask, and indeed many herbs were out of stock.

Without patients, there won't be enough herbs to go into the clinic; and incomplete herbal preparations will affect the treatment's effectiveness, creating a vicious cycle.

"The traditional Chinese medicine department at the county hospital is not busy at all. The few staff members they have are basically just going through the motions. It's a problem!"

Binbin said he was very worried. Although he was highly skilled, he was an external hire and was concerned that the people in the department would hold him back.

"These things are irrelevant. When you first opened your clinic, you didn't have any patients either. Just be more patient and keep a proper distance from everyone, and no one will specifically target you."

Binbin is much better than his cousin Taotao, at least in terms of interpersonal relationships.

He nodded repeatedly after hearing his father's words. Not having a quota meant he wouldn't have major conflicts with the others in the department; everyone knew he would be leaving in a year.

So just focus on doing your own thing and don't get involved in anything else.

the next day.

Binbin started his regular workday; he no longer needed to work night shifts or overtime.

The monthly salary is not much, and the bonus depends entirely on the number of patients, and it is distributed by the department.

He doesn't care about income at all. Not to mention that he is a typical "second-generation rich kid", he has accumulated a fortune of millions by running his clinic for so many years.

Corey's colleagues were very polite to him, and he was polite to everyone.

But this still didn't change anything. Binbin sat in the clinic all day without seeing a single patient.

"They really don't know what's good for them. My son is a highly skilled doctor. If it weren't for wanting to come and keep Xuemei company, how could the county hospital have such a good doctor on staff?"

That evening, Pan Lianhua heard about the incident and seemed somewhat indignant.

Fang Wei smiled but didn't say anything. He'd been quite busy today and forgot to tell everyone about it. It's inconvenient for company employees to see a doctor, but now that Binbin is seeing patients at the county hospital, isn't that giving everyone an opportunity?

So the next day at work, he told Ye Chen about it and asked him to tell everyone that if anyone needed medical attention, they should go to Binbin. He said that while it might not cure everything, it would at least greatly increase the chances of recovery.

As a result, Binbin sat there all morning, but by the afternoon he was so busy he barely had time to breathe.

Wang Muqi and Feng Xiaojiang both went to the county hospital to see Binbin. One of them had chronic gastritis, and the other had long-term insomnia, but these were minor problems for Binbin.

It's just a bit troublesome to get a prescription. Many herbs are out of stock at the pharmacy, so I have to go to a large pharmacy outside to find them.

He returned and told his father about it. Fang Wei thought for a moment and then told him to go to the dean.

The dean readily agreed to replenish the stock, telling Binbin to make a list of whatever herbs he needed and that they would replenish accordingly.

After some time, Binbin's reputation gradually spread throughout the county. Even excluding the employees of Juling Agriculture, he now sees a dozen or twenty patients every day. (End of Chapter)
