Her Cultivation Diary-Chapter 1854 - 1674: Male-Female Pairing (Still 6,000 Words)
Swimsuits and swim trunks, with the high noontime temperature, it’s not too late to buy them after having lunch and a nap before heading to the urban area.
Everyone wasn’t in a hurry, watching the kids run back and forth in the vegetable garden. As parents, even the grandparents who usually take care of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Especially the He Tuo family, truly, only those who’ve raised kids before would understand.
When taking the kids out to play, people around would praise them, saying how lively, generous, and bustling their kids are...
With four grandparents and two adults unable to watch over one child, all they could do was give a bitter smile.
But now, since there were older kids, they could finally completely let go and enjoy themselves in the vegetable gardens and orchards, savoring the joys of rural life.
The air in the mountains is just wonderful!
Everyone sighed, while chatting about how well they slept last night, waking up refreshed. It’s something even the plush beds and soft pillows at home couldn’t compare to.
As the host, Lun Chuan arranged for Master Chai and the others to have treatments with Doctor Xiaoguo, surely he’d do the same for his friends.
But he didn’t need to say much, as He Kuang and Qin Yun were already eager to try the moxibustion.
Along the way, they boasted to Yun Feng about Doctor Xiaoguo’s skills—
Seeing a Chinese doctor is like fortune-telling, a passion deeply rooted in the hearts of people in the country.
Besides elementary school kids, everyone else actively signed up.
Song Tan laughed nearby, "Don’t go on a weekend, there will be queues there. Let’s schedule a time and book half a day specifically."
This necessitates communicating with Doctor Xiaoguo to see what day is not yet booked.
Qin Yun and the others weren’t in a rush: "We’re here for ten days, half a month; a bit sooner or later doesn’t matter."
...
They weren’t in a hurry, while Doctor Xiaoguo was so busy she couldn’t catch a break. Amidst the acupuncture sessions for the next group of clients, she called Zhang Yanping over for a discussion:
"What do you think about expanding the clinic?"
Her rural clinic was initially a takeover of the original village clinic, the building was erected under government support. Though new and cost-free, it was quite simple.
In front is a yard, one side similar to other village plans, has a kitchen and utility room. Then the main room, which Doctor Xiaoguo modified into gender-separated moxibustion rooms, and a small pharmacy.
The innermost room is where she resides.
Originally it was sufficient, but this year the results of moxibustion have become evident, leading to many out-of-town visitors, undoubtedly more than one person.
Currently, there are six beds in two rooms, yet there are still people waiting outside.
Zhang Yanping shook his head:
"If you want to improve living conditions, you can extend and renovate behind the clinic. But if you’re thinking of adding more rooms, it’s unnecessary, as the popularity of moxibustion treatments won’t be consistent year-round."
Indeed, moxa sticks are limited, and so is the popularity.
Unless other herbal treatments achieve similar results, this type of treatment has strong limitations and couldn’t sustain daily crowds like traditional Chinatowns.
Compared to these, isn’t it time to hire a couple of assistants?
Pausing briefly, he added: "Nurses, or doctors."
With Doctor Xiaoguo’s income, the cost of personnel isn’t an issue, yet this non-stop workload leads to the same struggle as expanding the Golden Sakuras production.
It’s all about overworking herself.
Doctor Xiaoguo thought it over: "Hiring is possible and ongoing, but there’s no place for accommodation. Several candidates said they’d consider it, finding it inconvenient."
If all recruits were women, building a dormitory behind the clinic wouldn’t be a problem.
But she seeks to hire not only nurses but a qualified surgical doctor.
The probability of hiring a man is quite high, and having mixed-gender accommodations here would be inconvenient.
Moreover, unless the recruits are girls from nearby villages, having them live at the clinic would concern everyone.
This is indeed a problem.
However—
Who is Zhang Yanping?
Not handy with work, but full of ideas.
"What’s the big deal!"
"Although Tantan’s building in town isn’t completed, her idea is spot-on. Renting a place in town, you could hire a male doctor who can commute regularly via the village shuttle?"
"Or rent the village taxi for pickup—twenty bucks a day tops?"
The village taxis generally charge five to ten dollars for a one-way trip to town.
