Chapter 2026 One arrow pierces the clouds, and an army of ten thousand horses comes to meet.
At the entrance of the alley, the vehicles that drove in one after another, the people who walked there, and the figures who rushed over on bicycles, were like streams that converged from all directions, eventually forming an ocean of gratitude in front of Li Xiangnan.
A middle-aged man in faded overalls, carrying a basket of eggs, approached Li Xiangnan with red-rimmed eyes. His voice was trembling with emotion as he spoke: "Dr. Li, do you remember? Back in Dongshan County, if it weren't for you, the entire county would have been under lockdown. You led your team of experts there, relieving our immediate crisis and allowing us to quickly return to our normal lives! I wrote to your hospital and know your child is one month old today. These are the eggs I brought from Dongshan County; please accept them!"
Li Xiangnan was startled. He stepped forward and grasped the old man's hand, but couldn't recall the man's name because he was absolutely certain that he didn't recognize him.
But back then, when he led Wang Defa and others to Dongshan County to deal with norovirus, it was indeed as he said, that they saved the entire Dongshan County to the greatest extent possible.
Beside the elderly woman were Gong Xinmei, dressed simply, and her son Ge Dongxu. Aunt Gong took out a dozen pairs of tiger-head shoes that she had made herself from her work bag, in various sizes, which looked very festive.
"Dr. Li, you've treated my illness and my son's illness with all your heart! If it weren't for you, Dongxu would still be hiding under the bed, celebrating his twentieth birthday! These shoes are ones I made for Xitang, and I made them until she was ten! If Xitang wears these tiger-head shoes, she'll definitely be safe and sound!"
"Aunt Gong, Xiao Ge!" Li Xiangnan was touched and patted Ge Dongxu's still-childish shoulder.
An old soldier, wearing an old military uniform and several medals on his chest, leaned on a cane and gave a trembling salute. "Dr. Li, you may not remember me, but you saved my life! Last winter, it was the stent you produced that saved my life and gave me a new lease on life! My life was saved once on the Korean battlefield, and now it's been saved again in Yanjing. My life has been worthwhile! This red envelope is a bit small, but it's my relief fund for the year. Please don't mind!"
Standing beside him was a bespectacled woman with an intellectual air, Pan Yan. She was holding a framed calligraphy and painting in her hands: "Xiao Li, my father contracted lupus that year. If it weren't for your acupuncture and rehabilitation treatment, he wouldn't be able to stand up now! This is 'Benevolent Heart and Skillful Hands' written by my father himself. Please accept it!"
Jiao Xiaotan's father was still as dark-skinned as ever, still carrying his grimy charcoal basket, but today it was unusually full. Even with his wife's support, he couldn't straighten his back, but he smiled, revealing a set of bright white teeth. Normally not one for words, he was now somewhat excited as he said, "Dr. Li, I brought you a whole basket of coal! That'll be more than enough for you this winter!"
One, two, three, four... ten, twenty!
Some of these people were well-dressed, while others were dressed in rags. Some spoke with a Beijing accent, while others had a heavy Dongshan accent. Some drove here, while others walked more than ten miles of mountain road. But they all wore the same expression on their faces: sincere gratitude.
The gifts they gave were also quite varied.
Eggs, red dates, tiger-head shoes, calligraphy and paintings, and even a basket of coal briquettes.
These items are not worth much money, but each one represents their most simple and sincere feelings.
Li Xiangnan stood in the center of the crowd, shaking hands with each person, thanking them, asking about their health, and chatting with them.
His eyes were already wet with tears, and his voice was choked with emotion: "Everyone coming is the greatest affirmation for me. These things are so precious, I really..."
"Dr. Li, you must accept this!" Yu Yiyang's childish voice rang out, "You saved my father, what is this little thing? If it weren't for you, my father would have died last year! My family would have fallen apart! Compared to life, this is nothing!"
"Yes, Dr. Li, you must accept it!"
"Yes, this is just a small token of our appreciation!"
"If you don't like it, we'll send you something else!"
The crowd joined in.
This scene moved everyone present.
Jiang Huaiyuan stood aside, watching this scene, and the shock in his heart was beyond words.
As the head of the Jiang family, he has witnessed too many grand occasions over the years.
A grand birthday banquet, a solemn wedding, an important political gathering, a unique event...
But this scene, which was purely filled with gratitude, was something he had never seen before in his life!
If you've heard of it, it's mostly in novels.
This is not a gathering of power, nor an exchange of interests, but a matter of the hearts and minds of the people.
Just how many people has Li Xiangnan saved? How many families has he helped?
He's still very young, only in his early twenties!
This shows that although his medical career was short, even in just a few years, he accumulated such a wide network of connections and prestige!
If given time, what will become of us?
Jiang Huaiyuan suddenly recalled a line from an ancient book: He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world!
Although it may not be entirely appropriate to use it here, isn't what Li Xiangnan is showing at this moment the highest realm of "a doctor winning the hearts of the people"?
He felt that if Li Xiangnan ever wanted to do something, he could probably get millions of people to respond simply by raising his arms and shouting!
An arrow pierces the clouds, and thousands of troops come to meet you!
I'm afraid that kind of scene might not be so bad!
This child has a limitless future!
Yu Haoran and Song Qiankun exchanged a glance, both seeing the same shock and admiration in each other's eyes.
As the heads of the five upper families, they naturally understood how precious this pure power of gratitude was.
This is harder to obtain than any power or wealth, and it is more worthy of respect.
Qin Zongheng was grinning from ear to ear, patting his son's shoulder and laughing, "Kunlun, did you see that? This is the power of my grandson-in-law, this is real skill!"
Qin Kunlun nodded heavily. He naturally knew that his father had participated in the War of Resistance against Japan in his early years and understood the principle that those who win the hearts of the people win the world. He must feel the same way now, and his eyes were full of pride.
Those younger generations who came with the Jiang, Yu, and Song families were now completely speechless.
They grew up in prominent families and were used to all kinds of social interactions and exchanges of benefits.
But they had never seen such a scene before, with so many ordinary people coming spontaneously to express their gratitude!
Who exactly is this Li Xiangnan?
Just as the touching atmosphere reached its peak, Jiang Huaiyuan saw some of the younger members of the Yu and Song families holding brocade boxes, and whispered a few instructions to his family members behind him.
The man nodded, quickly returned to the Jiang family's car, opened the trunk, and carefully took out a brocade box wrapped in dark blue brocade.
At the same time, Song Qiankun and Yu Haoran saw his actions and waved to their families, signaling them to bring the brocade box they had prepared.
The three brocade boxes were then presented to Li Xiangnan.
Jiang Huaiyuan's dark blue brocade box, Song Qiankun's sandalwood carved box, and Yu Haoran's rustic wooden box.
Three boxes, three materials, three styles, but all exude the same heavy weight!
Brush it!
Almost instantly, the entire room fell silent, and everyone's attention was once again focused on the three brocade boxes in front of Li Xiangnan.
Hmm, are these three companies going to give away their own items too?
Everyone was secretly looking forward to it!
