On this day, the people who were upset because of He Meijiao's departure from the army were not only the sisters-in-law in the compound, but also one——
"Gone? You said she just left like that. Really, why didn't anyone tell me?" Song Hongmei frowned tightly, looking at Doctor Hao in front of her, feeling quite a headache.
Song Hongmei works in the military medical room of the army. After the Lantern Festival, her next work arrangement is to visit several remote villages to see the villagers and check on the production and labor conditions in the villages.
During each visit, Song Hongmei would ask the health team to allow a health worker to accompany her, so that the health worker could give physical examinations to the elderly and children in the village and solve some medical problems.
After all, the medical level in the mountains is backward. There may not be a barefoot doctor in a village, let alone going to the city for medical treatment.
Just like the Shilin Village last time, there was no doctor, not even a veterinarian. When something happened, they could only go to the next village to ask for a doctor.
Therefore, Song Hongmei attached great importance to the accompaniment of medical staff and arranged for them since the end of last year.
This person is He Meijiao.
He Meijiao knew that Song Hongmei was Lu Zhanlin's neighbor, and Song Hongmei's husband, Political Commissar Zhao, was Lu Zhanlin's partner, so she wanted to please Song Hongmei and get close to Lu Zhanlin in a roundabout way.
When she learned that Song Hongmei needed to go to the village with the health center, she signed up first and grabbed the spot.
Now that they were about to set off in a few days, the medical worker was missing. How could she not be anxious?
Doctor Hao is an old military doctor in the army, and he retired from the front line. He has held a pistol and carried a cannon before. He is a real old revolutionary, and he is a few years older than Song Hongmei.
So even when he saw Song Hongmei getting angry, he still did his work slowly and leisurely.
Seeing this, Song Hongmei became even more anxious and pulled Doctor Hao aside to ask, "Comrade He, what happened? Why did you leave without any reason?"
Doctor Hao looked up at Song Hongmei and asked, "This is an organizational matter. If you don't know, how can I know?"
Song Hongmei smiled helplessly. Although she had an identity, she really didn't know about He Meijiao's affairs.
She could only ask, "Who gave the order?"
"Commander He sent it directly." Doctor Hao stood up, closed the door of the infirmary, and then whispered, "Comrade He took off his military uniform and left."
Song Hongmei was stunned and her eyes widened.
She and Doctor Hao have worn this military uniform for decades and would never take it off even until they die. They both know best what a military uniform represents and how much weight it carries.
No matter how many questions Song Hongmei had in her mind, she stopped asking after hearing Doctor Hao's reminder.
Because there is only one possibility, He Meijiao has made an irreparable mistake and has betrayed her military honor and beliefs.
Now that He Meijiao is gone, things still need to be resolved.
Song Hongmei asked, "Besides the military doctor, are there any other medical staff? Is there anyone else in the medical team who can spare time to go with me?"
"If there were people available, I would have assigned one to you long ago. You wouldn't have to worry about it at all."
Doctor Hao was also helpless. There was a shortage of medical workers now, and he, an old military doctor in his sixties, sometimes had to take over. The work arrangements had already been issued, and he was really powerless to spare any more staff for Song Hongmei.
Song Hongmei didn't mean to embarrass Doctor Hao, she was just anxious, "What should I do? I promised the villagers before the New Year that I would bring a medical worker with me to treat them."
Doctor Hao was also worried.
A person suddenly flashed through his mind, someone he had never met but only heard of.
"Director Song, I do have a candidate. You can go and try to get him."
"who?"
Song Hongmei immediately asked.
Doctor Hao said two words, "Chu Yue, Captain Lu's wife, is the new wife of the army in your compound. She performed caesarean sections a few years ago. I have never seen that girl, but I have seen the incisions and stitches of the pregnant woman, which are quite good."
To describe Chu Yue's medical skills as "not bad" is an understatement. Doctor Hao said at the time that it would take more than ten years of practice to make such a clean and beautiful incision.
You can tell whether someone has good skills or not just by looking at the details.
Song Hongmei suddenly came to her senses, "Yes! I can find Miss Chu!"
The most suitable candidate is right next to her, why should she look for someone far away?
…
Chu Yue learned about the basic situation of the school from Carrie Lam. Due to its remote location and scarce educational resources, the few teachers who stayed behind were those who had gone to the countryside and had not yet returned to the city.
There are three teachers in the school besides the principal.
Some of the students in the school are children from the compound, and some are villagers from nearby villages who are willing to send their children to school. There are only about seventy or eighty children in total.
These children are not divided into first grade or second grade... They are divided into three classes according to their age: big, medium and small.
The small class teaches first and second grade content, the middle class teaches third and fourth grade content, and the large class is for older children, those in fifth grade. Once they catch up with the progress, they can go to junior high school in the city.
Lu Yuanbao had just started school, so of course he was in the small class.
The two children of Carrie Lam are already in the middle class. Chen Dazhuang of Chen Fengying's family is one year younger and does not like studying, so he is still in the small class this school year.
So when Lu Yuanbao goes to school later, he can go to school with Chen Dazhuang, as they are in the same class.
After hearing this, Chu Yue felt relieved.
She was not worried about Lu Yuanbao's academic performance, but was afraid that the child would be silent and out of tune with other children. Just like she had said to Lu Yuanbao before, children should act like children, and Lu Yuanbao was just too sensible.
It would be a good thing if I could go with Chen Dazhuang, whom I know.
As for the things Lu Yuanbao needed for school, Chu Yue had prepared them early in the morning, and even if she didn't have them, she could take them out from her personal space.
The only thing missing now is a school bag.
In the 1970s, children carried shoulder bags, and their favorite ones were made of army green fabric. They had a big pocket that they could open to stuff books and pencils into without having to worry about losing them.
Then on the front of the backpack, there must be a bright red five-pointed star, and it would be best if there was a line of "Serve the People" written on it. [Photo]
The best looking and most fashionable!
The schoolbag was bought from the supply and marketing cooperative. It had the red five-pointed star pattern, which made Chu Yue feel a little embarrassed.
Chu Yue is good at cooking and medicine. She can cut beautiful patterns and tie beautiful knots with surgical forceps, but she is really... not very good at needlework.
That evening.
Chu Yue cut a red five-pointed star from Lu Zhanlin's old clothes, placed it on the army green schoolbag and adjusted its position. After making sure, she picked up the needle and thread beside her and slowly sewed it together, one stroke at a time.
When Chu Yue was doing needlework, Lu Yuanbao sat on a small stool and watched.
He was very young, with a serious face and frowned brows. He became more and more nervous the more he looked. Several times he was afraid that the needle in Chu Yue's hand would prick her fingers. He wanted to say that he didn't want the five-pointed star.
"hiss--"
Chu Yue suddenly gasped.
What Lu Yuanbao was worried about finally happened.
