Zhou Kunran coughed as he looked at the department head, Yue Ling, who was looking at the sky and the ground but not at the vice president. Zhou Kunran immediately understood.

This guy leaked the department's situation to everyone so quickly; his mouth is too fast!

Yue Ling: "......" They asked, how could I possibly lie through my teeth?!

Anyway, he saw it all in the morning; the vice president had already used that person's connections to register their household registration. Once registered, it wouldn't be so easy for them to leave.

Xiao Yan: "..." Have I stumbled into a den of thieves?! Am I allowed in but not allowed out?

Zhou Kunran's feet were pointing outwards, a posture indicating he was about to sneak away, but he couldn't just leave like that. He could only cough and say, "You used to be a barefoot doctor in the village, you had to do everything yourself, right?"

"Once you're here, you'll just be doing the work of a nurse and a doctor. You won't need to worry about the medications anymore, which already saves you a lot of trouble!"

Xiao Yan: "..." What you said makes a lot of sense, I have no reply!

Just as Zhou Kunran said, she used to do everything, but now that she's applying for a doctor's job, why does she have to do the work of a nurse?

There's nothing wrong with doing it. If there's a real shortage of people, she'll do it. It's just that those people are so arrogant. They get paid for nothing and still give her attitude.

She gets paid for one job but has to do two jobs and has to put up with other people's attitudes. It's really frustrating!

"Dean, it's like they get paid and paid, while we do the work. Don't we get any explanation?"

An explanation? He also wanted an explanation. Ever since he came here, the dean had given him all the responsibilities and hadn't even come to work.

Then he had to work several jobs by himself, cleaning up messes and wiping people's backsides, and he didn't get any benefits at all!

He also wanted an explanation, and he wanted to give them a piece of his mind and say he was quitting, but then he thought about how his parents would ask him to do this and that when he got back.

They are very lenient with their son if things don't go their way, but they dare to be ruthless to those around them.

He felt an unbearable pain in his heart when he thought of his child whom he had never even met. What was the point of having such controlling parents?

He'd rather stay here, doing a job with no hope, than go back to this messed-up era, this twisted age!

Sometimes he really wanted to destroy everything, but he just couldn't. All those years of training had made him incapable of doing that.

Then he can only stay here, hide here, and since they can't see his value, they won't think about controlling him.

Seeing Zhou Kunran's increasingly grim expression, Xiao Yan knew she was putting him in a difficult position: "I understand. From now on, the director and I will each take a day off!"

Before, in the rural clinic, she had to handle everything by herself. Sometimes people would call her at night to call for emergency cases, and she would still go to work during the day. At least now there are two people who can take turns.

Director Yue was deeply moved upon hearing Xiao Yan's words: "You still have children. From now on, you can work and leave work at the same time as everyone else."

"I'll be on duty at noon, in the evening, or at night. Anyway, I'm all alone! Going to work or leaving get off work makes no difference to me!"

This was exactly what Xiao Yan wanted to hear. She had come here hoping to spend time with the three children; she didn't want to go a whole day without seeing them.

After the agreement was reached, Xiao Yan saw that it was already noon, so she got up to check on the patient. The anti-inflammatory medication had been administered, and the patient's temperature was temporarily normal.

Xiao Yan told the caregiver, "He can't move right now. If he needs to urinate, just tell him to go. He can't get up. He can't eat anything for the time being. The key is to keep an eye on his body temperature."

"If the problem escalates, be sure to tell the doctor!"

The caregiver was an honest man, and he nodded repeatedly: "Okay, doctor, I understand, thank you!"

When Xiao Yan returned home, everyone was already there. A pot of mixed rice and vegetable and egg soup was already laid out on the table, and what made everyone's mouths water was the braised pork!

Xiao Yan swallowed hard at the aroma: "Why is there meat again?"

Yao Yanxin brought over the bowls and chopsticks: "Tongtong and your son, bring these over. When I asked them where they bought them, they wouldn't say. They just told me to cook them, and said that if there's any leftover, I can cook it!"

Yao Yanxin glanced at the three children who hadn't arrived yet, and lowered her voice: "Do you think those two went to the black market? Otherwise, where would they get the meat?"

Xiao Yan immediately shook her head when she thought of that "miracle water": "They've already bought it, let's ask them later if there's any danger!"

The lunch break was filled with praise from Yao Tongxu. Yao Yanxin refused help from others and washed the dishes herself.

As she washed the dishes, she listened to Yao Tongxu reading English beside her, and heard Yao Tongjia discussing math problems with Xiao Gengwu beside her.

She really, really loves this kind of life, loves having three children around her every day, being able to cook for them, and take them out to work or school.

This morning, after seeing a few people off, she locked the door and went to grind herbs in her room by herself. Grinding herbs is hard work, but it's still much easier than doing farm work.

She doesn't have to face well-meaning or ill-meaning looks outside, and she can cook meals and wait for her three children and Yanzi to return. Such a life is truly wonderful!

After Yao Yanxin finished washing the dishes, the two adults sat down at the desk outside. Yao Tongjia gathered her thoughts and asked, "Mom, Master, do you have something to ask us?"

Looking at her daughter's face, which resembled her own, Yao Yanxin felt a deep sense of emotion. She hadn't realized her daughter was so grown up. She tucked Tongtong's stray hairs behind her ears.

"You had meat to eat yesterday, and you'll have meat to eat today. Your master and I are very worried about you going to the black market. You need to know that if you walk by the river, you're bound to get your feet wet."

Yao Tongjia and Xiao Gengwu exchanged a glance, thinking to themselves: There really are people who don't get their feet wet!

Yao Tongjia quickly reassured them, "I assure you, we definitely didn't go to the black market. Just think of us as someone who knows someone who can buy it without going to the black market."

"From now on, we can eat whatever we want, whether it's rice, eggs, or meat. If we're worried about attracting attention by eating meat too often, we'll each eat at least two eggs a day."

"Eggs are cheap and nutritious, and boiling them won't attract attention!"

"Is there really no danger?" This is what Xiao Yan asked!

"Don't worry, Master, I promise there's absolutely no danger!" Yao Tongjia wanted to pound her chest loudly to prove to them that there really was no danger!

Indeed, there was no danger; everything was inside her space!
