"After deliberation by the team headquarters, it was decided to appoint an accountant in the infirmary."

Kong Boyue's voice slowly emanated from the loudspeaker, and everyone listened quietly.

"The bookkeeper works in the infirmary, but is under the management of our team headquarters."

"During Xia's stay in the team, medical consultations were free of charge; that goes without saying."

"But the cost of medicinal herbs, whether they are herbs collected by Xia Zhiqing or herbs purchased by the team from the commune, is uniformly half price."

"The money collected for the medicine will be managed by the team headquarters as a health security fund."

"The health security fund was used to purchase medicines that the health clinic lacked and that Xia Zhiqing could not collect, as well as emergency Western medicines."

The team members nodded slightly, and many of them had already vaguely understood what Kong Boyue meant.

Some people have raised questions:

"Brother Kong, isn't it a bit strange that you're charging for Xia Zhiqing's medicine too?"

"What's wrong?"

Someone stood up and retorted, "The medicine bought by the team headquarters is also half-price, which means the medicine Xia Zhiqing collected was still free, right?"

"That's right. Some medicinal herbs aren't even available in the mountains, so we have to buy them from the commune. The team headquarters can't possibly handle them."

"Half-price pricing is essentially the same as paying full price for medicine, and I don't see anything wrong with that."

Someone chimed in, "The reason it's set up this way is probably to make bookkeeping easier."

"More than that, this is probably to avoid separating the same medicinal materials."

"..."

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

"Alright, quiet!"

Kong Boyue loudly stopped them, and only continued after the room quieted down:

"I think you've all guessed it. The uniform half-price fee is to make it easier for bookkeepers to keep track of the costs, and it eliminates the need to differentiate between medicinal herbs."

"The half-price policy is also to allow the team to reuse the money spent, without diminishing Xia Zhiqing's contributions to the team."

"Therefore, this is the current job of an accounting clerk, and I hope everyone understands."

Everyone nodded.

Someone asked, "Uncle Kong, this is just the situation of Xia Zhiqing here. What happened next?"

Kong Boyue smiled and said loudly:

"Quiet down, everyone, and listen to me!"

"If Xia, the educated youth, really does return to the city one day, to avoid any potential trouble, our team has decided..."

"The bookkeeper will still be in place and managed by our team headquarters. The cost of medicines will be charged according to the commune's fee standards, and the consultation fee will be collected by the bookkeeper."

"At that time, the new barefoot doctor will only need to focus on her work; the team will cover her consultation fees."

"If she gathers herbs in her spare time, she can just sell them to the bookkeeper."

"So, if anyone has any complaints about the clinic, they can come directly to our team headquarters."

Everyone present was reasonable and quickly understood the team's intentions.

In this way, even if Xia An were to return to the city one day, the new barefoot doctor wouldn't have to worry about being targeted.

The clinic is also operating normally.

"That's a great suggestion; I think it's definitely something we can do."

"Me too."

"The team headquarters is also considering the future of the clinic, and we support this decision."

"support!"

"..."

"But who should be put in charge of the bookkeeping? Could it be Qingci?"

Some people have raised questions.

All eyes turned to Kong Qingci on the small platform. Seeing her sitting there spoke volumes.

"Alright, quiet!"

Kong Boyue stopped everyone from continuing their discussion, and then continued:

"Our team has decided that Kong Qingci will serve as the first bookkeeper."

"Keeping accounts required memorizing the price of each medicinal herb in the commune and being proficient in arithmetic."

"When it comes to memory, Qingci in the team is better than anyone else, and his arithmetic is equally impressive."

"Of course, if anyone thinks they can beat her, they can tell us."

Upon hearing this, the team members all shook their heads.

Everyone present knew that Kong Qingci was known as the person with the best memory in the entire Anping Village.

In terms of arithmetic, as Kong Boyue's niece, she was also a top-notch arithmetician.

She is indeed the most suitable person for this bookkeeping job.

"Since no one has any objections, then this matter is settled."

Kong Boyue said in a deep voice, "The bookkeeper needs to stay in the infirmary at all times and will not receive any extra work points."

"Therefore, Qingci's work points are the same as Yunshu's, eight work points per day."

"If you have any opinions, raise them now. If we hear about them later, the consequences will be severe."

The team members all shook their heads.

"very good,"

Seeing this, Kong Boyue nodded in satisfaction, "That's all for today."

As he spoke, he looked at Xie Weiguo and Luo Zhongqian and asked:

"Do you have anything to add?"

Xie Weiguo shook his head.

Luo Zhongqian hesitated for a moment, then took the megaphone and said in a deep voice:

"I, Luo Zhongqian, as the current patriarch of the Luo family, urge all the sons of the Luo family to remember this."

"Regardless of what others do, we, the men of the Luo family, will never do anything ungrateful or that harms the interests of Anping Village."

"If the Luo family produces such a person, they should be removed from the family register and not allowed to enter the ancestral hall!"

Upon hearing this, the scene fell silent, and the team members all stared wide-eyed.

The Luo family members looked suspicious; this was, after all, the Luo family's clan rule!

What does the clan chief mean by suddenly saying that?

Luo Shutong glanced at Xia An on the small platform and vaguely understood something.

This is... a message to Xia Anluo's family about their stance, and to An Xia'an's heart!?

He stood up and said, "Elder Luo Shutong of the Luo family, remember the patriarch's words!"

"We will heed the clan chief's words!"

Seeing that Uncle Luo had spoken, the rest of the Luo family didn't bother to think about it anymore and stood up one after another.

Luo Zhongqian handed the loudspeaker to Kong Boyue and sat back down.

Kong Boyue shook his head and smiled, "Did you hear that? The Kong family is the same. Anyone who wants to be removed from the genealogy or excluded from the ancestral hall is welcome to try."

The members of the Kong family all stood up, saying, "We will remember this and never forget our clan rules."

Xie Weiguo smiled, but before he could speak, the entire Xie family stood up.

"The Xie family's sons are no less capable than the Luo and Kong families. They are ungrateful bastards, despised by everyone and rejected by everyone. They should be removed from the family genealogy and not allowed to enter the ancestral hall."

Seeing this, both the visiting educated youth and the Yang and Chen families were somewhat surprised.

I don't understand why things suddenly turned so strange.

Xia An was slightly taken aback, vaguely understanding the intentions of Luo Zhongqian and the other two.

Should we express our opinion?

A slight smile played on his lips; he had grasped the basic situation of Anping Village.

Clan!

A clan with extremely upright family traditions!

No wonder Anping Village has such a good atmosphere; it turns out that all three clans have excellent family traditions!

In this environment, even if a wife from outside the village has some minor flaws, she will restrain herself and will not bring in bad influences from outside.

If it's a serious problem, the clan might take direct action to punish the offender, or even kick them out of Anping Village.

Under such circumstances, it would be strange if the atmosphere in Anping Village was not good.

But that's good, because this way he can do things more smoothly.

Looking at it now...

His decision to not charge for medical consultations or medicine seems really good!

Of course, even if he accepts only a small amount, the debt of gratitude for saving lives remains and is not affected.

But those petty gains are really unnecessary!
