Jiang Mingxuan was born in a small town in the north in the fifth year of the Republic of China. When he was four years old, his father, Jiang Shijie, met the person who fell in love with him at first sight - Miss Chen Ru, the niece of County Magistrate Chen. After Jiang Mingxuan's mother Feng Guiqin found out, she didn't cry or resent, divorced Jiang Shijie calmly, and went back to her parents' house with Jiang Mingxuan in her arms. Jiang Shijie also started his soaring career from then on, and finally moved to the provincial capital, and had no contact with Feng's mother and son.

Jiang Mingxuan's maternal grandmother was an enlightened person and gave him two choices when he was sixteen years old: first, to keep his ancestral property, marry a wife and have children; 2. Sold his ancestral property and continued to study. His grandmother reminded him that the future of the first path was predictable; The result of the second path may be nothing. But he still chose the second one.

In the 29th year of the Republic of China, after the death of his grandmother, Jiang Mingxuan was not worried that his mother was living alone in his hometown, so he took his mother to Beijing.

Jiang Mingxuan's income in Beijing is not very high, and the people in the rented courtyard house are also complicated. Feng is accustomed to living in his own compound in his hometown, and in a small courtyard house in Beijing, he goes out to share a courtyard with others; In the house, you can hear the east wing scolding his son and the west house chopping meat filling; and the Beijing accent and Beijing rhyme in the neighbor's language, which she can't adapt to. Since Feng was not accustomed to life in Beijing, the 24-year-old Jiang Mingxuan decided to take his mother back to his hometown to open a small clinic.

In order to facilitate the practice of medicine, Jiang Mingxuan also hired a 32-year-old female nurse, Miss Liu Yajie. Nurse Liu is a colleague whom Jiang Mingxuan met when he was working in Beijing. When she heard that Jiang Mingxuan was going back to his hometown in the Northeast to open a clinic, she asked Jiang Mingxuan if he needed an assistant, of course Jiang Mingxuan needed an assistant, especially a female assistant with work experience like her.

At that time, there were not many women who came out to work, and even fewer who attended regular schools and knew how to specialize in medicine. According to legend, Nurse Liu is also a young lady from a large family, and her ancestors were also officials in the court. At that time, she used to study in a prestigious school, and she was also a young woman with progressive ideas. However, the family had already set a baby for her, and she resolutely ran away from home in order to get rid of the shackles of the old-style marriage contract.

Of course, if she wasn't eight years old at the age of Chang Mingxuan, and she was a dignified, steady woman who had never had an ambiguous relationship with anyone, Jiang Mingxuan really wanted to doubt that she was willing to go back to her hometown to work with her, because she admired her handsomeness and chicness, and she wanted to make a personal promise.

Nurse Liu was willing to come to Fengcheng to work, and the official reason she gave Jiang Mingxuan was that she wanted to change to a simple environment and live a quiet life. But according to the gossip that Jiang Mingxuan obtained, Nurse Liu was trying to stay away from a certain infatuated suitor, the vice president. In fact, Jiang Mingxuan thinks that the vice president is a good person, less than forty years old, quite wealthy, proud, successful in his career, and widowed in middle age. The female nurses and doctors in the hospital all like to talk to him if they have something to do. But he was obsessed with Miss Liu Yajie, which made the unmarried women in the whole hospital hostile to Miss Liu Yajie. But Miss Liu didn't know about it, and she ignored the vice president.

In the crisp autumn season, Jiang Mingxuan's clinic officially opened. The clinic was purchased by his mother after selling the ancestral house and all the valuable things in the family, and there are three clinics, and the entrance is the reception room for female nurses, the east side is used as Jiang Mingxuan's consultation room, and the west side is used as the patient's rest room. In the backyard of the clinic, the main room is occupied by Jiang Mingxuan and his mother, the east wing is inhabited by Nurse Liu, and the west wing is used as the kitchen and dining room. Although the small courtyard is not large, it is neat and orderly by the Feng family, and it looks decent. Feng is responsible for three meals a day, although it is radish and cabbage every day, but the three of them also eat deliciously.

When the clinic first opened, business was not very good. Jiang Mingxuan bored flipping through newspapers and reading books every day. Nurse Liu Yajie carefully sorted out the bottles and cans of the clinic and medical equipment every day, never slackened, never lost and complained, Jiang Mingxuan admired her patience very much.

In the afternoon, Jiang Mingxuan, as usual, sat on a chair after reading the daily newspaper, staring at the floating clouds outside the window. He often watched like this without changing his posture, letting the time pass slowly.

There was the sound of a horse-drawn carriage outside the window, from far and near. It should have been a horse-drawn carriage passing by, but today it was different, and the carriage seemed to stop in front of their clinic. It's not like, it's really parked at the door, and the people in the car have already gotten out of the car and walked in the door. Jiang Mingxuan heard the voice of Nurse Liu greeting her, and the person who came in was a middle-aged man, and the man seemed to be sick at home and wanted to take a doctor to see him.

Jiang Mingxuan was praying that this was a good business, when Nurse Liu pushed the door and walked in, "Doctor Jiang, the young lady of the guest family outside is sick and wants to ask you to go to the house for a visit." ”

"What is his young lady's illness?"

He also couldn't say it clearly, just said that the young lady was unwell, couldn't eat, and couldn't sleep well at night. His wife is very anxious, as long as the doctor you go to see it, the visit fee is ten yuan, if he heals his young lady, his wife will be grateful. Nurse Liu replied.

"Since Miss is sick, then Nurse Liu, you can also clean up, and the two of us will go to the clinic together."

Jiang Mingxuan was very excited, ten oceans were enough for them to live happily for a month. Those who can casually pay ten yuan for the consultation should be a very wealthy family. If he can find a small clinic like them, it must be an incurable disease, and the big hospital can't treat it, and if there is a disease that goes to the doctor, or a patient who can't see the light, he doesn't want outsiders to know, so he can only find a nameless little foot to deal with it quietly.

Wait a minute! I can't eat, I can't sleep well at night, this is mostly a heart disease, it can't be that Miss Huaichun is in love with someone, right?! Jiang Mingxuan's heart began to gossip. This kind of thing should be seen by a doctor, how can it be difficult to treat? How can it make my wife anxious to the point where her family goes everywhere to ask for a doctor? If you can find him, all the clinics in Fengcheng should have been invited.

It's not that Jiang Mingxuan is arrogant, it's that his small clinic has only been open for less than a month, and there are only a handful of patients who have seen him, and they are all patients with colds and fevers, or patients who have a bad stomach, how can there be patients who come to him.

Of course, no matter what the reason, as long as he is willing to go out of ten oceans, Jiang Mingxuan will not hesitate to go to the doctor. Human nature is like this, sometimes even knowing that there is a pit in front of you and going forward, always thinking that you are lucky, to be able to bypass that pit and avoid that hurdle, in fact, it is all self-deception, only see the benefits but not the harm.

Bringing the usual medicines, Jiang Mingxuan and Nurse Liu went out and looked up at the carriage, which was a clean two-wheeled carriage, supported by four iron pillars, with a roof and thick black felt cloth all around. Ask their middle-aged man to lift the curtain of the car door and ask Jiang Mingxuan and Nurse Liu to get into the car. He sat down in front of the carriage and picked up the carriage, and the brisk carriage sped forward on the road.
