A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

When people concentrate on doing something, time always passes quickly.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival in 76, when Lu Cheng took his wife and children back to his mother's home to visit relatives, he happened to meet an elder from Hejiawan who came to visit their home.

This elder suffered from sciatica and had been to many hospitals in the county and city, but none of them could cure him. Seeing that he had a good relationship with his father-in-law, Lu Cheng offered to treat him. After acupuncture and medication, he actually cured his illness.

This elder had been suffering from illness for many years and had no access to medical treatment. Now that Lu Cheng had cured him, and he hadn't even charged much money, he naturally praised He Yaozong's son-in-law to everyone he met, praising him as a miracle doctor.

Soon after, many patients with difficult and complicated diseases in Hejiawan crossed the Yellow River and ran to Shuangshui Village to seek treatment from Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng naturally cured all the conditions that could be cured. Even if they could not be cured, they could be greatly improved and relieved through Chinese medicine conditioning.

As a result, Lu Cheng's reputation spread to Jin Province.

The speed at which reputation spreads is always increasing. Once a patient is cured, all their relatives will know about it, and their relatives' relatives may also know about it.

As a result, some men and women suffering from infertility, men with physical weakness and kidney deficiency, and women with irregular menstruation all came to Shuangshui Village to seek medical treatment and medicine.

Many problems that cannot be diagnosed by Western medicine, or diseases that cannot be cured, can actually be treated in traditional Chinese medicine.

After such development, more and more patients from all over the country rushed to Shuangshui Village for medical treatment and Lu Cheng's small clinic became completely popular.

Just after the Spring Festival in 77, Lu Cheng's family became busy. They had to receive many patients every day, and most of them were from other places.

Whenever Lu Cheng has free time, he runs around purchasing Chinese medicine.

The living room of the family home had long been turned into a special clinic, and a large Chinese medicine cabinet was built. Several stoves were set up in the yard, and the smell of Chinese medicine wafted in the air every day.

Even Lu Cheng himself seemed to have been marinated in Chinese medicine, and he smelled of it wherever he went.

Many of the patients who come here to treat difficult and complicated diseases cannot be cured in county or municipal hospitals. As long as their diseases can be cured, they don't mind spending more money.

Although Lu Cheng did not charge random fees out of kindness as a doctor, he could still make a lot of money from the labor fee and acupuncture fees.

Especially when encountering problems such as infertility and male and female diseases, after helping them successfully solve their problems, these people will give them gifts of thanks, and they are quite a lot.

Although Lu Cheng basically does not accept thank-you gifts, some gifts he gives cannot be returned sometimes, and some even put money inside the gifts as a thank-you gift.

By the summer of 77, Lu Cheng's family savings had quietly reached yuan.

Xiulian had nothing to do at home every day, so she liked to sit there and count money.

Every time Lu Cheng saw her money-grubber look, he would hold the child beside her and joke: "Yangyang, look at your mother's money-grubber look. Our family's good days are still to come."

The one-year-old kid doesn’t understand these things yet, but he can already speak: “Mommy, hug me.”

Xiulian didn't care. She counted the money and put it in an iron box. She was happy: "Brother Cheng, do you think we should build a few new kilns? Our house is too small, and boiling Chinese medicine in the yard every day is too choking."

"The new kiln will no longer be needed. After a while, maybe we won't have to live in the village anymore."

"Where else can I live if not in the village?"

"Keep it secret for now. When the time comes to use the money, I will keep the big money in this family."

Of the more than 2,000 yuan in savings in the family, except for one or two hundred yuan in Xiulian's hands, the rest are all in Lu Cheng's storage space and are absolutely safe.

Coincidentally, while the two were talking, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Lu Cheng, someone from the county said they want to see you."

Lu Cheng handed the child to Xiulian, who then put the child on the ground and walked on the kang holding the child's hand.

As soon as he walked into the courtyard, Lu Cheng saw a familiar face and quickly greeted him: "Director Li, why are you here? Come in quickly."

Director Li is a leader of the county hospital. Lu Cheng often met Director Li when he was receiving training at the county hospital.

Director Li still admired him very much and once asked Lu Cheng if he wanted to stay in the county hospital to work. But later, because Tian Fujun was sidelined and Xu Aiyun was implicated in the hospital, the matter was never followed up.

I didn't expect that Director Li would come to my house today.

"Lu Cheng, it seems you still remember me."

"Director Li, I've forgotten what you said. No one can forget you. You gave me a lot of guidance back then. Come on, come on, please take a seat."

Director Li first looked at the situation in the yard, then glanced at the Chinese medicine cabinet in the house, and then said, "I have heard that your Shigejie Commune has a young miracle doctor who specializes in treating various difficult and complicated diseases. Now that you have seen it, it seems that this scene is quite a big deal."

Lu Cheng smiled and said, "They are just some minor things. They are just to help the villagers solve some minor illnesses and pains."

"This is not just a minor matter. Not long ago, I heard from a relative that you can even cure a person who has had cold legs for many years. This is not easy."

Lu Cheng poured tea for the other party and said modestly: "It was just a blind cat catching a dead mouse. It's nothing."

Director Li took a sip of tea and smiled, "Lu Cheng, excessive modesty equals pride, so stop being so modest. You should have guessed the purpose of my visit this time. How about it? Do you want to go to the county hospital for consultation?"

Unlike later generations, the educational requirements for doctors in this era were not as strict, and there was no medical qualification certificate. As long as a doctor had a good level and had the opportunity, he could work in a large hospital.

Lu Cheng did not agree directly, but pointed to the medicine cabinet beside him: "Director Li, you can see that I am mainly studying Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. It seems that our county hospital does not have a traditional Chinese medicine department?"

"Now that you are here, there is something. Although there is no TCM department yet, TCM is also a cultural treasure of our China. Not long ago, the dean and I went on a survey and found that many TCM hospitals in various places are doing well. Our county hospital is also considering setting up a TCM department first to test the waters.

We have recently been investigating the entire Huangyuan City, looking for some skilled old Chinese medicine practitioners. But we haven't found a suitable one yet. I recommended you to the dean, and he wants you to give it a try for a while."

"This..." Lu Cheng was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Director Li, logically speaking, since you have come to visit me in person, I should not be ungrateful. But as you can see, I have a lot of things to deal with at home, and I can't move them all at once. My children are still young, so I haven't made this plan yet."

Director Li was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He didn't expect that Lu Cheng would actually refuse such a good opportunity: "Lu Cheng, this opportunity is rare. If you miss it, you will regret it in the future."

"Director Li, can you let me think about it first?"

"Well, since you don't have this idea, I won't force you."

Director Li was about to get up, but Lu Cheng quickly tried to persuade him to stay: "Director Li, you've finally come here, why don't you stay and have a meal before you leave?"

"No, the hospital cannot do without people, and I have some patients to take care of."

Lu Cheng had no choice but to send Director Li out of the hospital.

After Director Li left, Xiulian came out of the room with the child and asked in confusion, "Brother Cheng, I heard everything that happened just now. The county hospital invited you, why didn't you go?"

"Don't worry, there will be better ones in the future."

"Is it possible that another city hospital will invite you?"

"maybe."

It is already August, and in two months, the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination will be officially announced. Lu Cheng is busy preparing for the college entrance examination and of course does not want to go to the county hospital.

Moreover, my own small clinic now earns a decent monthly income and I have more flexible working hours. Isn't it much better than working in the county hospital?

Lu Cheng guessed that Director Li from the county hospital came to visit him not just because of his medical skills.

Just recently, Tian Fujun, who had been sitting on the bench for a long time, was spotted by the provincial leader and was directly appointed as the commissioner of the Huangyuan Prefectural Committee's administrative office, which marked a major turning point in his political career.

As a barefoot doctor from the countryside, I might have benefited from this.

Of course, if Lu Cheng didn't have this skill, he wouldn't have received this much attention...
