Those who weren't in a hurry to go back were naturally the bricklayers and other personnel with experience in building houses.

"Accountant Kong, register!"

These people came over one after another, totaling as many as thirty-two people.

Building a clinic would earn you work points, so everyone was naturally very enthusiastic.

Kong Boyue looked at the people in front of him and wrote down their names.

He smiled and said:

"Besides building a clinic, Xia and the other educated youth also want to build houses,"

"There are no work points for building houses; instead, wages will be used to offset the work points. You all need to work together."

As he spoke, he handed over the blueprints that Xia An had just given him.

"This is the house that Xia and his friends wanted to build, and the clinic will be built next to Xia's house."

"The team headquarters' idea is to build the infirmaries in a layout of one bright room and two dark rooms, each room measuring three by four."

"The main room served as the pharmacy, and the two inner rooms served as a consultation room and a ward, respectively."

"The clinic and the ward must have heated brick beds, especially the clinic's heated brick bed, which cannot be neglected."

"In addition, the clinic's yard needs to be as large as possible, and the walls should be lower."

"Apart from these requirements, you can discuss and decide on the rest yourselves."

"By the way, a toilet needs to be built next to the clinic; that's also necessary."

"Understood. We'll go back and discuss it, and start construction tomorrow."

A middle-aged man spoke up.

"Alright, everyone can leave now."

Kong Boyue waved his hand and said.

quickly,

Only a handful of people remained at the scene.

Luo Zhongqian and Kong Boyue, Xie Weiguo's family, Xia An and Luo Yunshu, a total of five people.

Ye Qingxuan smiled and said, "Xia... An, congratulations, you don't have to work in the fields anymore."

Xia An smiled. "I'm like a brick; I can be placed wherever I'm needed."

"Moreover, compared to going to the fields, I think seeing patients might be more helpful to the team."

"Xia, the educated youth, has such high awareness!" Kong Boyue laughed, patting him on the shoulder.

Xia An smiled and said, "Uncle Kong, you flatter me."

At this moment, Luo Yunshu stepped forward and said, "Brother Xia An, thank you."

She had already heard Luo Zhongqian tell her to go to the clinic, which was Xia Anti's.

Except for spring planting and autumn harvest, going to the clinic meant no need to work in the fields.

The key point is that I can also learn medicine from Xia An, which is great!

Xia An smiled and nodded, "You have a certain foundation, so you can definitely help me!"

Luo Yunshu nodded, her eyes smiling, her two dimples appearing and disappearing.

"Alright, everyone go back now."

Kong Boyue smiled and said, "Yunshu, you'll go to the commune hospital with Xia Zhiqing tomorrow."

"After that, you'll work directly under him, earning 8 work points per day."

"Okay, Uncle Kong."

Luo Yunshu nodded quickly.

Kong Boyue continued:

"Also, check which of the medicinal herbs in your home can be used by the clinic, give the price quote to the team headquarters, and leave them all for the clinic."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yunshu shook her head.

"Uncle Kong, since it's for the clinic, we won't charge you. It's a contribution to the team."

"no the same!"

Kong Boyue shook his head and said, "That's what you collected with great effort; it's part of your income."

"Actually, we don't recommend that Xia, the educated youth, not charge fees, but he has his own ideas."

"But you're different."

"If you also donate medicinal herbs free of charge, your secondary income will be cut off."

"You can imagine the consequences if we rely solely on the grain allocated by the brigade."

Luo Yunshu remained silent.

If no money or coupons come in, those things that can only be bought with money...

Xia An smiled and said, "Yun Shu, listen to Uncle Kong. I'm an educated youth sent to the countryside, and I have money from my family, so I won't have any problems even without income."

"But you are different."

Luo Yunshu nodded silently.

Xia An smiled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Xie told me before that the commune provides some subsidies every month, which is just right for buying medicinal herbs."

"Of course, the subsidy money is limited, so just use it to buy everyday medicinal herbs."

"In addition, I collect some from time to time, which is enough for the team's use."

Kong Boyue nodded and smiled, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, the team headquarters is there to support you."

"The clinic serves the team after all. The team headquarters will allocate some funds to purchase medicinal materials, which are also free for the team members."

"I understand, Uncle Kong."

Luo Yunshu nodded and said, "After Xia An goes to check what's usable, I'll report it to you according to the commune's purchase price."

"good!"

Kong Boyue nodded.

On the way back,

Xie Jianjun suddenly thought of something, took out a piece of paper, handed it to Luo Yunshu, and asked:

"Yunshu, do you have all the medicinal herbs you need?"

Luo Yunshu glanced at it. "Most of them are available, but I've only heard of some of the herbs. Did Brother Xia An prescribe this?"

"Um!"

Xie Jianjun's face flushed slightly, but it wasn't very noticeable in the darkness.

Xia An shook his head and smiled, "I forgot last night, otherwise I should have caught him for you, Brother Xie, when we went to the commune today."

"How about this, we'll go to the commune tomorrow, and we can catch him on the way."

"Alternatively, you can wait for the medicine from the clinic. The medicine that Yunshu is missing should be able to be found in the mountains."

"No need!" Xie Jianjun quickly shook his head, looking embarrassed. "It's not something I urgently need, so I don't need the clinic's help."

"Brother Xia, please bring it back for me tomorrow. I'll give you the money later."

"Whatever you say!"

Xia An smiled and didn't try to persuade him further.

He prescribed three doses of medicine for Xie Jianjun, which shouldn't cost much.

I'll go to the commune hospital tomorrow to have a check-up. If it's suitable, I can adjust the prescription accordingly.

This way, it can also save him some money.

Speaking of getting medicine, I once wrote a prescription for Aunt Xiangyun after taking her pulse.

We were supposed to find it for her later when we went up the mountain, but should we catch it together tomorrow?

As Xia An was thinking about these things, he heard Luo Yunshu speak up and advise him:

"Brother Xie, this medicine costs more than a dollar. Why don't you listen to Brother Xia An and save some money?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Jianjun hesitated for a moment, but then felt a pinch on his waist.

He didn't even need to turn around to know what was going on.

really!

Aunt Xiangyun's voice rang out, "Listen to Yunshu and the others. Save your money. If you add another person, the expenses will be high."

Luo Yue chimed in, "Mother is right, so don't be shy."

"Okay... alright!"

Xie Jianjun nodded, then looked at Xia An and smiled sheepishly.

"Brother Xia, I'll need your help to keep an eye on those medicinal herbs for my brother from now on."

"It's nothing!"

Xia An smiled.

They soon arrived at the Xie family's door; Luo Yunshu's house was still some distance away.

Xia An was about to tell them to be careful on the road when Luo Yunshu suddenly said:

"Brother Xia An, could you walk us a bit? I have something to tell you."

Xia An paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, I'll tell Uncle Xie and the others."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Xie Weiguo and the others, and smiled:

"Uncle Xie, I'll take them back. You all rest first, don't worry about me."

"Okay, you guys go ahead and get busy."

Xie Weiguo nodded.

Xia An and the five others walked towards Luo Yunshu's house.

Seeing Xie Weiguo's family enter the courtyard, Xia An asked:

"Yun Shu, what do you want?"
