Jiang Mengxue met Doctor Liu from the county town at the nurses' station. He was talking to the young nurse and was extremely happy.

Jiang Mengxue stepped forward and greeted him: "Doctor Liu, what are you so happy about?"

Doctor Liu turned around and saw that it was Jiang Mengxue. He smiled and waved to the young nurse, then took Jiang Mengxue to the window at the end of the corridor.

"Doctor Jiang, have you seen the report posted by the hospital today? We all have a chance to stay and work at the Second Hospital."

Jiang Mengxue didn't know what the notice was. As soon as she entered the hospital, she went to the office and didn't even go to the hospital's report board.

"What's the matter, Doctor Liu? I just got here and I don't know."

Doctor Liu looked around for a long time as if he was doing something shameful. Then he leaned over to Jiang Mengxue's ear and said:

“The announcement said that there were two places available for city hospitals to apply for rural support, and the timeframe was unspecified.

Doctors at lower levels can also apply for promotion. As long as there is a hospital willing to accept them, they can take the hospital's preparatory exam and be promoted if they pass it.

I heard that the higher authorities intend to increase the training of rural doctors, not just in the gynecology field, but also to train all-round doctors.

If anyone is willing to apply for rural support construction, the hospital will also strongly support them, their salary will remain the same, and they can also receive subsidies."

Jiang Mengxue was a little surprised. If that was the case, it would indeed be a good thing for the rural areas.

There is a general shortage of medical care and medicine nowadays. If experienced doctors could go deep into the countryside, it would indeed solve many people's problems and perhaps even train more experienced doctors for the countryside.

Jiang Mengxue saw that Doctor Liu was beaming with joy. Could it be that he also had some ideas?

"Doctor Liu wants to go to the city hospital?"

Doctor Liu nodded excitedly, "I'm not young anymore. It's really rare for me to encounter such a good opportunity now. If I miss it, I will have to stay in this small county for the rest of my life. So no matter what, I have to give it a try."

Dr. Liu's original name was Liu Xinpeng, which sounds more masculine, but she is indeed a middle-aged female doctor.

This is indeed an opportunity. It must be said that if Dr. Liu can be successfully transferred to the city, it will not only benefit her personally, but also her family.

Her children can go to better schools in the city, and their household registration will follow their mother, which will be very helpful for their studies and future work.

Doctor Liu was very eager to share and had already started chatting with another doctor who was passing by. Jiang Mengxue shrugged and turned back to the office.

Xie Sheng came back at noon. Huang Haiwu sent her over and helped carry a lot of things.

"Have you moved all your belongings here? Have you got the dorm key?"

"Hey, I finally had some time to go back, so I brought all my stuff with me. My keys are still with Secretary Sun in the logistics department. Xiaoxue, are you free? Can you help me get them? I'm so full of stuff, it's really inconvenient."

Jiang Mengxue saw that the two men were wearing all kinds of net bags and holding quilts, clothes, shoes, pots, pans, and other things in their hands. It was indeed difficult for them to bring everything here from so far away.

"Okay, then you take Brother Huang to the dormitory first. I'll go get the key and be right back."

Jiang Mengxue first went to the logistics department to find Secretary Sun, but Secretary Sun had just left to go to the cafeteria to eat.

Fortunately, there were people in the office who knew that Xie Sheng had checked into the dormitory and helped him get the key.

"Thank you, Sister Dong. When Secretary Sun comes back later, please tell him that the key has been taken away."

"I know, I know. Go ahead."

Jiang Mengxue originally wanted to go to the cafeteria to get food for several people, but there was only one lunch box, and she was afraid that the two would have to wait too long, so she decided to send the key over first.

The hospital dormitory was not far away from the opposite side of the hospital, and Xie Sheng's single dormitory was at the outermost room in the yard, so as soon as you entered the yard you could see the two of them, including the things scattered on the ground.

"Put your things inside first, and you guys clean up here. Sister Sheng, give me your lunch boxes, and I'll go to the cafeteria to get your food back."

Huang Haiwu opened the door. There was nothing in the room now. Xie Sheng only had time to wipe it with a wet rag before he went back. Now people can barely get in. Other things can only be added later.

"Sister-in-law, please excuse me."

"Brother Huang, why are you being so polite? I've troubled Sister Sheng quite a bit all the time."

Xie Sheng had already taken a leave of absence today, so he was packing his things in the dormitory in the afternoon.

Jiang Mengxue brought the lunch box and prepared to go back. Since Xie Sheng was not around, she had to be busy.

They agreed to go home together in the evening, so Jiang Mengxue returned to the hospital.

It won't take long for Xie Sheng to clean up his dormitory, but he still needs to buy coal. He can't bring the coal he bought from Dongcheng over again. There's really no need for that. Xie Sheng simply exchanges the coal for coal tickets. Huang Haiwu will be able to buy it back in the afternoon, and Xie Sheng can move in directly at night. He also needs to go to Gu's house to get some daily necessities.

The afternoon passed quickly and Jiang Mengxue didn't even realize that she had gotten off work. It was her colleague who reminded her, otherwise she really wouldn't have noticed the time. After stretching, Jiang Mengxue packed up her notes, picked up her bag and left the hospital.

Seeing that it was almost time, Xie Sheng was already waiting at the intersection. Jiang Mengxue quickly walked over and said, "Sorry, Sister Sheng, I'm late."

"It's not late. I came out according to the time. Are you busy today?"

"It's okay, but the hospital just posted a notice today. Did you know about this?"

"I also heard about it when I just arrived at the hospital this morning. Fortunately, I decided to come here before, otherwise I would have to take the hospital's exam." Xie Sheng looked at Jiang Mengxue's thoughtful expression.

"What are your plans? The training here is about to end. Are you planning to go back?"

Jiang Mengxue nodded: "I plan to apply to the hospital for a position in the countryside. There is no regular clinic in the brigades around our hometown. If there is anything urgent, we have to go to the commune.

Plus, I'm pregnant now, and I'm worried I won't be able to handle the hospital work later, so I might as well switch to something easier now."

"Then Second Mother and the others will be worried if you go back to the countryside alone, right? Besides, there's more work to do there, and people working there are more likely to get injured. The elderly often get headaches and fevers, and if there's a shortage of medicine up there, you won't be able to get it down there, and you'll have to go up the mountain to collect it yourself."

Jiang Mengxue was not worried about this. She could let the villagers collect herbs themselves and use them to cover the medical expenses, which would be convenient for everyone.

"I'll think about it again. Now the leaders are interested in training rural doctors. Not only will they receive regular salaries but also subsidies, and they'll have spacious homes. I wonder how comfortable it would be.

After the New Year, when the weather is good, I can go to the mountains more often, earning a city salary and living a comfortable life in the countryside. How nice it would be.

Xie Sheng was almost moved by Jiang Mengxue's description. She was originally quite satisfied with her current job, but became depressed after hearing what Jiang Mengxue said.
