Chapter 62 She knew she lacked talent so that these people could...
Zhu Yao didn't greet Zhao Shuyi, but asked, "Sister, who is this?"
“This is your brother-in-law’s friend, he’s from the city. We agreed to give them a chicken. Go to the chicken coop and catch one.”
Zhao Shuyi didn't join in, but asked, "How many chickens do you raise? If possible, could I exchange two for one? You know our family's situation, sister. The elderly are getting on in years, and I'd like to cook some meat for them."
The other person shook their head, "No, no..."
They keep all their hens for laying eggs, how could they bear to give them away like this?
Ducks are fine, though.
"We have ducks, do you want some?"
Zhao Shuyi was only interested in eating meat; she could cook chicken and duck, and she hadn't eaten duck meat in a long time, so she couldn't help but swallow.
Seeing her like this, Zhu Yao across from her chuckled softly.
Zhao Shuyi smiled back, and the two of them still didn't mention what they had met before.
They went to catch chickens and ducks, so Zhao Shuyi took out brown sugar and candy from her basket. In addition, she caught a rabbit and prepared some money and tickets.
When they came out, they were both surprised to see so many things, especially Sister Feng.
"Thank you for helping us raise the chickens and ducks. I didn't bring anything else with me on this trip, so please keep these to yourselves and don't be shy."
"This...this." The woman seemed embarrassed. "How about I go and get you another one? I think this duck isn't fat enough. I'll get you a fatter one."
They were so honest. Zhao Shuyi laughed and said, "No need, we'll slaughter it when we get back. You can keep the fat ones to exchange for supplies at the supply and marketing cooperative or to help your families. Everyone works very hard."
Feng Yan felt embarrassed and quickly told Zhao Shuyi to wait. Then she took a large bag of dried mushrooms and bamboo shoots from the house and stuffed it into Zhao Shuyi's arms.
“We’re not far from the city, you can come visit often.”
Zhao Shuyi smiled and said, "You too. I'm currently working at the military hospital. You can come to me if you need anything. My surname is Zhao."
After several meetings, Zhao Shuyi felt that Zhu Yao should be a trustworthy person.
Even if the other party wanted to do something bad, I didn't leave anything I shouldn't have. Once I leave this door, Zhao Shuyi can disown me.
After she finished speaking, she looked at Zhu Yao next to her, and the other girl nodded at her.
Then Sister Feng sent her out again.
Not long after the two walked out of the courtyard, Feng Yan saw Gu Yan standing by the roadside. She was startled and turned pale, thinking that the officials had come to arrest them.
"He...he...he..."
"Sister, don't be afraid, that's my husband. He came with me because he was worried I'd be bullied. We're leaving now, thank you, Sister Feng."
Upon hearing this, Feng Yan breathed a huge sigh of relief.
"My God, your man looks terrifying, he really startled me."
However, since the man is a soldier, their business is quite secure.
Thinking this way, Feng Yan became noticeably more enthusiastic.
"Girl, if you need anything next time, just let us know and we'll save it for you. Let's keep in touch."
"Okay, Sister Feng, thank you very much."
Zhao Shuyi said goodbye to the other party and walked towards her handsome and tall husband with a smile.
It's not scary at all, it's not particularly scary at all, and the person in question is quite handsome.
When she walked up to Gu Yan, Zhao Shuyi couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" Gu Yan asked her.
"This Sister Feng is very interesting. She said you are particularly scary."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yan's smile immediately faded, clearly indicating his displeasure.
This looks really scary.
"Don't be angry. They didn't mean any harm. It's scary to have such a cold face. Smile."
Gu Yan didn't want Zhao Shuyi to think he was scary, so he looked at Zhao Shuyi and curled his lips.
“You’re not scary, you’re manly.”
Zhao Shuyi has now learned to lie without thinking, which makes Gu Yan quite helpless. He pats her head.
The movement wasn't forceful; it just ruffled the stray hairs on her forehead, making them a little messy.
"Gu Yan, don't go too far. Just because I'm not showing my teeth doesn't mean I'm a pushover. Tell me, how many times has this happened already?"
He would rub his hair all the time. At first, Zhao Shuyi felt embarrassed by the ambiguous relationship, but after a while, she felt that he deserved to be beaten up.
Without thinking, Zhao Shuyi stood on tiptoe and gave the other person a good beating on the head.
Gu Yan looked at her with some affection. Seeing that she had raised her arm, he was worried that her arm would get tired, so he thoughtfully bent down so that she could easily rub the top of his head.
Like a cute big dog that just wants to be petted.
He was already like this, how could Zhao Shuyi have the nerve to continue arguing with him? She snorted and walked forward, but after taking only two steps, she felt a dragging force from behind.
She then realized that Gu Yan had grabbed her basket.
"It's a bit heavy, isn't it? I'll carry it."
Zhao Shuyi quickly and quietly moved the things she had just put into her space back out.
"Of course you have to carry it."
As their relationship grew closer, Zhao Shuyi would occasionally show her little temper.
Gu Yan thought she was even cuter this way.
The two chatted and laughed as they walked back, arriving at the family compound at ten o'clock.
When they arrived home, Dr. Tan was still at his desk, doing his own thing. It was unclear whether he was reading literature or writing something. When he saw them return, he simply nodded slightly and went back to his work.
Gu Yan and the other man didn't disturb her much, and tried to keep their voices down while cooking in the kitchen.
Zhao Shuyi and Gu Yan have collaborated many times.
They work together exceptionally well when it comes to cooking.
The duck was killed by Gu Yan, and the duck blood was preserved very well.
Zhao Shuyi decided to make duck blood vermicelli soup.
While Gu Yan was killing the duck, Zhao Shuyi started cooking the rice and then prepared various ingredients.
Before long, a delicious aroma wafted from the kitchen.
The aroma wafted over, and He Mei from next door came over too.
“I came out earlier and saw you weren’t there, so I knew you had gone to buy groceries. I even said I would come and help you out. You’ve almost finished taking care of everything.”
The other person was clearly a little embarrassed, but she brought over some candy and snacks, which was a thoughtful gesture.
After she arrived, she started looking for work, and eventually took over Gu Yan's job of burning firewood.
"Xiao Zhao, how did you make this? It smells so good, even better than the chefs at the state-run restaurants."
Although this was a bit of an exaggeration, He Mei was genuinely praising her.
Because of her excellent cooking skills, she has always been praised by others.
Now, smelling the food Zhao Shuyi cooked, she could naturally tell who cooked better between the two of them.
She felt inferior to him.
Zhao Shuyi said, "I don't know either. I just really enjoy cooking, and they all say it's delicious. But Auntie, your cooking is also very fragrant. I think we're about the same."
Zhao Shuyi couldn't just praise the other person indiscriminately, since she had her own cheating device, so a few polite words would suffice.
Sure enough, after hearing what she said, the other person was delighted and found Zhao Shuyi very likable. They then discussed the processing and cooking of the ingredients with Zhao Shuyi.
Besides utilizing the spiritual spring water, Zhao Shuyi also had some other techniques, which she shared with the other party without reservation.
The other person would occasionally show an expression of sudden realization, and the two chatted happily.
This is what Ying Qichao and his companions saw when they entered the kitchen.
"Little Zhao, you've finally arrived! We've been craving this dish for days."
Zhao Shuyi turned around and found that Dr. Meng and Director Kong had also arrived.
One of them was carrying a net bag of soda, and the other had some fruit; it was clear they had come with the intention of freeloading.
Since it was Ying Qichao who brought it, the other party should know what was going on and probably wouldn't offend Doctor Tan, so Zhao Shuyi naturally gave him a warm welcome.
After greeting everyone, Zhao Shuyi said, "It's my honor to have you all like me, but don't even think about asking me to be a cook in the cafeteria. I'm not willing to do that."
Everyone laughed.
This joke livened up the atmosphere, and everyone chatted like old friends who had known each other for a long time.
Zhao Shuyi was quick, and dinner was served in no time.
She cooks mostly home-style dishes, such as braised duck, sweet and sour pork, Mapo tofu, mixed vegetables, and duck blood vermicelli soup.
Except for the absence of bitterness, it has all the flavors of sour, sweet, and spicy.
"Xiao Zhao, your cooking skills are still as consistent as ever. If it weren't for your excellent medical skills, we would really like to recruit you to work in the cafeteria."
As he ate, Director Kong praised Zhao Shuyi. He wasn't just saying it out of thin air; he genuinely thought Zhao Shuyi's cooking skills were excellent, and he had actually been craving it since he got back.
Now that Zhao Shuyi has come to their hospital, they should be able to enjoy some good food from now on.
After saying that, he looked at Tan Shuang and said, "Sister Tan, you did a really bad job. We finally managed to get Xiao Zhao to come to the hospital, and you just snatched him away for us."
“Exactly. The doctor we invited, surely she can find a teacher? I think Xiao Zhao has the talent to be best suited for orthopedics.”
Doctor Meng didn't really want to take Zhao Shuyi as her apprentice, because she wasn't sure if her medical skills could compare to Zhao Shuyi's.
Those who study medicine should never underestimate people.
We can't use age as an excuse.
Some people are just naturally gifted when it comes to studying medicine; there's nothing you can do about it.
But he couldn't let their promising orthopedic surgeons be poached by other departments.
Although Dr. Tan's departure has left the TCM practitioners at their military hospital even more depleted, they desperately need someone with Zhao Shuyi's excellent medical skills to fill the gap.
But there are other ways, aren't there?
"Xiao Zhao, your private apprenticeship doesn't count. But if you insist on recognizing Teacher Tan as your master, that's fine too. You can always find a few more masters."
Doctor Kong echoed this sentiment.
"Old Meng is right. You can work in different departments in shifts, but don't worry, you'll definitely get your share of the pay."
Seeing the fierce competition among them, Ying Qichao became somewhat envious.
He felt that perhaps he had underestimated Zhao Shuyi.
"Xiao Zhao, do you know anything about the gastroenterology department?"
Zhao Shuyi found everyone's enthusiasm somewhat amusing.
“We in traditional Chinese medicine don’t focus on these things; it’s different.”
This immediately answered everyone's questions.
Alright, they still want to learn traditional Chinese medicine.
Look at the smile on Dr. Tan's lips.
It's unbearable to look at, truly unbearable to look at.
Everyone enjoyed the meal, mainly because of the good food. It's hard to eat unhappily when there's good food. After the meal, the men all went to help clear the table and clean the kitchen.
As expected of doctors, they were all quick and efficient, tidying up the kitchen in no time, without needing Zhao Shuyi's help at all.
Zhao Shuyi was very satisfied; she didn't like washing dishes or cleaning the kitchen.
Afterwards, everyone chatted together in the courtyard. During the conversation, Director Kong brought up the incident of Dr. Tan's son causing trouble the day before.
Tan Shuang's face darkened.
"Don't mention him in front of me, I don't have such a son."
Seeing her reaction, Director Kong couldn't help but offer some advice.
"Don't think like that. He wasn't like this before. You've been too strict with him. He's a boy, so it's normal for him to want to run away."
Upon hearing this, Dr. Tan stood up, kicked the chair, and clearly did not want to talk anymore.
She took two steps forward, then turned back to look at Zhao Shuyi.
“He’s right, I am very strict. If you don’t want to learn, you can leave.”
Zhao Shuyi swallowed, genuinely worried about the teacher's temper.
But since she had already agreed, it wouldn't be good to back out now.
Judging from their interactions, Zhao Shuyi felt that Dr. Tan was a pretty good person. If he was just a bit strict in his professional matters, she felt she could handle that.
I have a basic understanding of the subject; I'm not completely clueless.
Seeing that Zhao Shuyi did not speak, Ying Qichao tried to persuade her.
"Don't take it too seriously. She's just upset, it's definitely not directed at you."
Zhao Shuyi didn't take it to heart at all.
"I will study hard, but I can't guarantee that I can keep it up. If I can't, then there's nothing I can do."
Zhao Shuyi did not make any guarantees, especially during such a sensitive period.
To her surprise, no one tried to dissuade her; they all said that she should just do her best.
Director Kong talked to her about reporting for duty tomorrow.
"Starting tomorrow, Dr. Tan will likely assign you tasks, which will be quite demanding. I'll talk to the training instructors and ask them to reduce your workload. You should mainly focus on working with Dr. Tan."
With Dr. Tan's connection, Zhao Shuyi no longer needed to attend that training.
However, Director Kong felt that Zhao Shuyi was right before. Since she had only studied medicine for a short time, it would be good for her to practice the basics more.
Although he didn't know if what Zhao Shuyi said about it being short was really short, a training course wouldn't take her much time anyway, so he figured he could just treat it as getting familiar with the hospital.
It's not enough for him to just talk; everyone needs to see Zhao Shuyi's abilities for themselves before we dare to let him practice medicine.
He said he hadn't explained these things in detail to Zhao Shuyi.
Zhao Shuyi, however, had her own ideas. She said, "There's no need to trouble the teachers to give me special treatment right away. I'll try it first. If I can manage, I will. If I can't, I'll let you know."
She had no idea what she was going to learn in this training.
If it's really about building a foundation, it would be good to have her review what she's learned before.
Director Kong actually admires this about her; she's not arrogant at all.
For people in their line of work, pride isn't a good thing; they're prone to letting things fall apart at crucial moments.
Hopefully, this girl has real talent and can maintain that drive forever.
After chatting for a while longer, it was almost time for Gu Yan to go back.
Upon learning that he was leaving, everyone took their leave.
Zhao Shuyi went to see Gu Yan off.
"Work hard and don't miss me too much. I'll come see you when I have time." Gu Yan was clearly very reluctant to part with me, but he tried his best to restrain himself when he said it.
Zhao Shuyi raised her hand and moved his slightly prickly head.
"No wonder you like being patted on the head, it feels really nice."
Zhao Shuyi touched him a few more times and laughed, "It's just a little prickly."
Her little gesture amused Gu Yan, instantly dispelling most of the sadness he felt during the farewell.
"I'll let you touch me as much as you want next time we meet. Now go back, I have to go."
As Gu Yan spoke, his gaze remained fixed on Zhao Shuyi's face, his eyes almost overflowing with affection.
Zhao Shuyi said, "When you go out on a mission, remember to be careful and remember what I told you before."
Since the two got married, Zhao Shuyi has given Gu Yan instructions every time he goes on a mission.
Gu Yan initially felt strange emotions, then got used to her instructions, and now felt that sour feeling again.
He really wanted to hold Zhao Shuyi in his arms and take her back.
But he couldn't be selfish. Zhao Shuyi had her own things to do, and he should respect and support her.
“I will definitely remember,” he replied earnestly.
Zhao Shuyi nodded. She wasn't particularly worried; she knew Gu Yan wouldn't be in any danger, but she still felt a little melancholy.
"Then I'm leaving." Zhao Shuyi pointed out the car window.
Just as she was about to open the car door, Gu Yan suddenly raised his hand and pressed it against the back of her neck. As his breathing subsided, the two shared a long and ambiguous kiss.
After the kiss ended, Zhao Shuyi's face was flushed.
"I'm really leaving." A little embarrassed, she hurriedly opened the car door, fanning herself with her hands to try and cool her face.
She only turned around when she heard the car start.
Gu Yan stretched his hand out the window and waved.
If he doesn't leave now, he won't be able to leave at all.
Zhao Shuyi felt a slight sting in her nose, but she still waved back.
Gu Yan disappeared into the family compound shortly afterward. The flush on Zhao Shuyi's face had faded, and she slowly returned home.
It was late autumn, and many trees in the residential compound were covered with yellow leaves, just waiting for the wind to come and let them fall.
It's beautiful, but a little lonely.
When she returned, Dr. Tan seemed to have composed herself and was sitting in the courtyard, lost in thought.
"You're back?" Dr. Tan greeted her first.
"Um."
Have you packed your things?
Zhao Shuyi nodded, "That's about it."
"Then come with me, let's start learning today."
Zhao Shuyi did not object.
With Gu Yan away, it's actually not bad that she spends more time studying.
To everyone's surprise, when they arrived at the study, Dr. Tan suddenly grabbed a large stack of books and piled them on the table.
"Finish reading all of these this week, and then write a summary for me. You need to write a summary for each one."
Zhao Shuyi was a little stunned.
Although Dr. Tan said she would be strict, she didn't say she would be this strict.
What will happen if I don't finish writing it?
Zhao Shuyi didn't dare to ask.
However, after looking at these books, she realized they were mostly basic books on traditional Chinese medicine, herbal medicine, acupoints, and some basic Western medicine.
More than half of them were things Zhao Shuyi had learned before.
She felt that she shouldn't have any major problems.
I am a person with a cheat code.
At worst, I'll just stay in the space a little longer.
Let's put building houses aside for now. Anyway, it doesn't rain or get windy in this space. It's sunny and breezy all the time, so why bother building houses?
Instead, we should study.
She loves learning!
"What, you think you can't do it?"
Perhaps seeing that she didn't speak, Dr. Tan's tone turned colder, and his gaze towards her became stern.
Zhao Shuyi said, "I'll give it a try, I'll do my best."
Upon hearing this, the other party raised an eyebrow. "Then go ahead and do it. Come find me when you're done. It doesn't have to be within a week."
Before Zhao Shuyi could even breathe a sigh of relief, she said, "Three to five days isn't out of the question."
Zhao Shuyi's lips twitched.
It's possible, but aren't the requirements a bit too high?
It would be quite an achievement for a normal person to go through all these books once, but she still wants them to write their reflections, and Zhao Shuyi has to attend training starting tomorrow.
They just don't care whether she lives or dies.
For some reason, Zhao Shuyi really wanted to give it a shot and see where her potential lay.
But when she opened her mouth, she said the same thing again, "I'll try my best."
Spending a long time studying in that space might not tire her physically, but it would still take a toll on her mental well-being.
After all, no matter who it is, prolonged mental exertion or maintaining the same actions would probably feel uncomfortable.
However, it is undeniable that the slower flow of space could help Zhao Shuyi. She decided to study as much as possible within the normal time frame and go to sleep at night.
She carried the books back to her room, closed the doors and windows, and then entered the space without stopping for a moment.
In her spare time, she made a simple large desk in the space.
This desk can comfortably seat ten or so people; she can arrange things however she likes on it.
Taking out her notebook and pen, Zhao Shuyi opened the first book and began to read and take notes at the same time.
Having already experienced something like this, her learning efficiency wasn't particularly low.
Just when she thought she had learned a lot, she picked up the book and saw that she had only read one chapter.
Zhao Shuyi's gaze swept over the stack of books next to her again, then she silently lowered her head and continued reading.
She would study for a while, then go to the lawn to practice some self-defense techniques that Gu Yan had taught her, then go to the field to check on the crops she had planted, before returning to her desk to continue studying.
This cycle repeated itself several times, and by the time she emerged from the space to rest, she had already read two books.
The efficiency is good.
At this pace, even if she reads two books a day, it would still take her six days to finish.
It's still a huge project.
Although Zhao Shuyi felt she was pushing herself to the limit, she could still persevere.
So she felt relieved.
I didn't even eat dinner that day, and went straight to sleep.
Without Gu Yan around, no one would let her stay in bed, and no one would buy her breakfast.
She can only consume the items stored in her spatial storage.
At eight o'clock the next morning, she officially reported to the military hospital.
When the nurse heard that she was there for training, she took her to a private meeting room for the training.
When she arrived at the meeting room, several people were already seated inside.
These people seem to have split into two groups.
One group consisted of local farmers from Yunnan Province, who were somewhat dark-skinned, tall, and sturdy, and dressed simply. The other group appeared to be doctors and nurses from various hospitals, and they looked quite distinguished.
Zhao Shuyi went in, but instead of sitting with any of them, she found a spot in a corner.
But when she sits down, everyone can't help but glance at her a few more times.
Zhao Shuyi is very beautiful. Wherever she goes, she easily attracts attention, especially when people first meet her.
Moreover, since everyone here is studying medicine, there are often opportunities for learning and exchanging ideas.
If there were a nearby hospital or clinic with such a beautiful doctor or nurse, everyone would know about her. However, no one present recognized Zhao Shuyi, which made everyone even more curious about her.
Zhao Shuyi usually doesn't care much about other people's opinions, and this time was no exception; she just sat quietly.
After sitting for about ten minutes, Director Kong arrived.
After he arrived, he sat at the head of the table and nodded to Zhao Shuyi when he saw her.
Zhao Shuyi nodded in agreement.
Some people saw what was happening between them, and their expressions changed.
Zhao Shuyi pretended not to see it.
She has already made many preparations and tried her best to avoid trouble, but if someone still causes her trouble, she will not be polite.
Now that she's already here, her most important task is to learn and improve her medical skills.
Before the meeting even started, she was already recalling the contents of the medical books she had read over the past two days.
She felt that Dr. Tan would probably test her.
About ten minutes later, two more teachers came in, one of whom was holding a folder.
"Everyone, please be quiet. Let's each find a seat and get ready to get down to business."
When Director Kong had a stern face, he really looked like a leader, and everyone immediately quieted down.
"For the next month, you will begin a month-long training program at our military hospital. There will be four assessments during this month, and if you fail any of them, you will be eliminated."
Everyone seemed to already know the procedures and didn't react in any particular way. Even Zhao Shuyi had heard about the rules of this training.
"Of course, our training is divided into different levels of difficulty for each session, so even if you are eliminated, it doesn't mean you are not excellent. It just means that our teaching content is getting more and more difficult."
"You are talents selected from various clinics and hospitals. I believe you must have your own special skills. If you are eliminated, it only means that your basic skills are not solid enough. Go back and review what we have learned, and come again next time."
"Furthermore, five of you will have the opportunity to stay at our military hospital."
Director Kong glanced at Zhao Shuyi and said, "As everyone knows, we usually have five openings each year, and those who stay will rotate through various departments for training before being formally hired."
"Comrade Zhao Shuyi, she is a candidate for employment at our hospital, and she will not take up your quota."
His words caused a change in how everyone looked at Zhao Shuyi.
Most people were envious, wondering what skills she had that allowed her to be hired directly.
Of course, some people felt a little uncomfortable, but no one said anything.
This was a method that Director Kong and Zhao Shuyi discussed on the spot this morning. It was to let everyone know her abilities, but also to let everyone know that she wouldn't take advantage of them. So, how everyone treated her wasn't that important.
Normally, Zhao Shuyi would have refused the suggestion.
However, she realized how much care Dr. Tan had put into her, and she felt that she should focus more on her studies and also prevent some minor troubles from happening.
She used to be afraid because she worried that if something went wrong, she would have to go to great lengths to solve it. Now that she knows she has so many people behind her, she can do what she wants to do with peace of mind.
Director Kong added, "Of course, if Comrade Zhao Shuyi passes the assessment, she can directly enter the military hospital; if she fails, she will be re-evaluated. She's just studying with you all; it doesn't conflict with anything else."
"In addition, her foundation is quite solid. If you have any questions, you can ask her."
Zhao Shuyi clenched her fist under the table and looked at Director Kong.
They hadn't agreed on that last part.
Director Kong seemed oblivious to her gaze and continued speaking.
"Anyway, if there are any problems, come to us. Our hospital's recruitment process is legal and compliant. We just wanted to avoid any misunderstandings, so we're explaining this."
"Now let's get back to the main topic."
"Before we begin the formal lessons, we need to assess everyone to see how solid your foundation is."
"The exam will be conducted and graded on the spot, and the scores will be released immediately. This exam will not be counted in the next four assessments, so just do your best and don't be too nervous."
Director Kong said in a serious tone, "Everyone should supervise each other. Falsification is absolutely not allowed in our hospital. Please don't cross the line."
After he finished speaking, he began to distribute the test papers.
Feeling that most of what he said was for his own sake, Zhao Shuyi no longer had the intention to argue with him about what he had just said.
Since she was already there, she figured she might as well make the best of it; if there were any problems, she would go to Dr. Tan.
Dr. Tan truly considered her her apprentice, and she herself was someone protected by her master, which was why she wasn't afraid.
After receiving the test paper, Zhao Shuyi looked at the questions.
These are all very basic test questions, and a good half of them are common knowledge that even people who don't study medicine would know.
After a quick glance, Zhao Shuyi had a general idea of what to expect and picked up her pen to begin answering the questions seriously.
They answered the questions below, while three doctors wandered around the conference room to supervise the exam.
Zhao Shuyi felt that everyone who walked up to her would steal a glance at her exam paper.
She was speechless.
But she soon lost the will to think about it, because although the questions were not difficult, they required a lot of writing, and she had to speed up.
Once she got serious, her hands never stopped moving, and naturally she didn't notice the somewhat ambiguous expressions on the doctors' faces as they looked at each other.
Zhao Shuyi buried herself in writing and finally finished the exam ten minutes before it was due. Her exam paper was covered with dense writing.
The sight of it was so startling that anyone who accidentally saw it felt weak in the knees.
Of course, this doesn't mean those people are really incompetent.
Dr. Kong is right about something.
These people are the most outstanding young people selected from various hospitals and health departments.
However, some of them may have only attended a vocational school, some may have only learned some medical skills from their families, and some may have only started to focus on learning after they went to the hospital.
They each have their own skills, but their theoretical level may not be very high.
They may know which medicine to prescribe for which disease, but explaining the underlying principles in detail would be difficult for them.
This was a common phenomenon during this period.
Especially among them, there were those who were transferred from village barefoot doctors to clinics and hospitals, whose foundation was even weaker.
Some people were sent out not to compete for the opportunity to stay in the military hospital, but so that they could learn more and go back to make better medical calls.
An hour passed quickly.
Director Kong announced the end of the exam and told everyone to stop writing, and everyone obediently stopped writing.
Then the three teachers each graded a few papers.
Their brows have never relaxed since they started grading the exam papers.
They all had their brows furrowed tightly, as if they were undergoing some kind of torment.
Because everyone was watching, Zhao Shuyi couldn't see clearly from the corner and didn't know why they all had such a tense expression.
We can't all answer terribly, can we?
Zhao Shuyi thought back on her answers and felt they were alright. Even if she didn't get full marks, she should still be around 80 or 90 points.
While they were making changes, someone suddenly exclaimed "Wow!"
Everyone crowded around Director Kong to look at the exam paper, and many people looked quite surprised when they saw it.
Zhao Shuyi also stared at it, and when she flipped through the papers, she guessed that it was her own test paper.
The scores came out shortly afterward.
Everyone returned to their seats.
Director Kong passed the exam papers down, not directly to any one person, but so that everyone could read them together.
"You can look at your own answers, or you can look at other people's answers, and we can all learn from each other."
Many people have already seen Zhao Shuyi's answer, and to be honest, it has somewhat dampened their confidence.
But soon, when they saw many test papers that were similar to or even worse than their own, they felt better.
They all knew that Zhao Shuyi had been hired ahead of time. Since she was able to be hired in advance, she must have real skills, and it was normal that they couldn't compare to her.
After the exam papers were circulated, it was obvious that everyone's gaze towards Zhao Shuyi had changed.
Zhao Shuyi breathed a sigh of relief. She was truly grateful to Director Kong and the others for protecting her, even though she knew they valued her so-called talent.
Even if you have absolutely no talent.
Zhao Shuyi felt that she could make full use of the extended time in the space.
She knows she lacks talent, but others don't.
If she doesn't say anything, how would anyone know?
Heaven granted her space and the spiritual spring water, perhaps hoping that she could use this advantage to do something beneficial for society.
"As you can see, your opponents are at a similar level. Those who did well shouldn't be arrogant, because you are just one of them. Those who didn't do well shouldn't be discouraged either, because this is just the beginning. You can catch up at any time. No one is born with medical skills, and no one is born to enter a military hospital. So, everyone, keep up the good work."
Upon hearing Director Kong's words, Zhao Shuyi nearly lost her composure.
She hadn't expected Director Kong to have such a passionate side; no wonder he was able to become a director—he was very suitable to be a leader.
With his encouragement, everyone was clearly more motivated and no longer as dejected as when they first received the test papers.
Zhao Shuyi also noticed that someone was glancing at her from time to time, and when she looked over, the other person would quickly look away and blush shyly.
Zhao Shuyi pretended not to see it.
"Everyone, take this test paper home and review it carefully. If you brought a book, look for the answers or ask the people around you. Although we are competitors, we can also be collaborators. Helping others is also helping yourself."
"Go back and rest first, and adjust yourselves. We'll start class after lunch. Because the time is relatively short, the intensity of the class will be quite high. Make sure you get plenty of rest before coming back."
Upon hearing this, everyone got up and left, and Zhao Shuyi followed behind them.
But Director Kong called her back.
"Comrade Zhao Shuyi, please stay for a moment."
"What's wrong, Director Kong? Is there something you need?"
After everyone left, Director Kong returned to his previous cheerful demeanor, looking quite amiable.
"We've already looked at your test paper, and you answered it very well. Why are you saying your foundation is weak? If this isn't good, then what is?"
His words sounded like reproach.
Zhao Shuyi had nothing to say.
Zhao Shuyi was so flattered by their praise that she felt her basic skills were actually pretty good.
Moreover, knowing she was coming to the military hospital, she had been studying and had learned a lot during this time.
"Please don't tease me. I achieved this effect by studying late into the night. Besides, I just passed the certification exam, so I'm definitely more familiar with the material than they are."
Director Kong thought about it and agreed, but then he felt that something about what Zhao Shuyi said seemed a little off.
"No, no, no, what you answered wasn't just simple textbook knowledge; you must have seen a lot of cases to write it. Never mind, I won't argue with you about this. This afternoon, you can explain your thought process to everyone."
Zhao Shuyi instinctively wanted to refuse; she found it a bit troublesome.
"Don't rush to refuse. I'm not joking with you. Like you said, you just took the exam, so you're definitely more familiar with many things."
"The doctors at our hospital don't know where the students' difficulties lie, so if you explain it to them in detail, their answers are really a mess."
Zhao Shuyi thought about it and realized that what the other person said made some sense. She also needed a platform to showcase herself, so she nodded.
"Okay, it's fine to talk about it."
These are all relatively basic pieces of knowledge, and Zhao Shuyi felt that she could explain them.
Moreover, she had previously mentored younger students preparing for postgraduate entrance exams, so she knew how to help students absorb knowledge more effectively.
Then she turned her head and saw Director Kong's smiling face, and felt that something seemed a little off.
"That's not right, Director Kong. They're not students. Aren't they all doctors who are already working? What they might need is for doctors to communicate with each other. I don't need to explain that, do I?"
Director Kong quickly shook his head.
"No, you don't understand. What they lack is this basic knowledge. You must make them not only know what it is, but also why it is. You try it."
"Young people understand young people better!"
The other party seemed determined to make her perform, so Zhao Shuyi gave in.
Go ahead and talk. There will be plenty of opportunities to show your skills later, so it's fine to start now.
After today's events, it has to be said that Zhao Shuyi has gained even greater confidence in herself.
It was only then that she realized that in those days, due to the scarcity of various resources, the level of education and medical care was not very high. Therefore, what she had learned might really be impressive to others.
So when people see her, they might easily think that she is a genius.
Zhao Shuyi felt guilty.
She needs to study even harder.
Thinking of this, she wanted to hurry home to study and go into the space to study.
But Director Kong followed her out of the conference room, and he continued to ask Zhao Shuyi with a smile, like a smiling tiger, "Comrade Zhao, what would you like to eat today?"
Zhao Shuyi was thinking about studying when she was suddenly stunned by what he said.
"I'm planning to go back and make some fried rice with eggs."
They didn't have much of the vegetables they bought yesterday left.
Zhao Shuyi decided to go to the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow morning, and then go to the hospital to study.
Upon hearing this, Director Kong frowned.
"Why are you only eating fried rice with eggs? Are you out of vegetables at home? I can ask my wife to bring you some."
"I can't accept that. I'll just go earlier tomorrow morning."
Director Kong frowned.
"You have training courses and tasks assigned by Dr. Tan, how do you still have time to go grocery shopping?"
He seemed quite shocked.
But Zhao Shuyi always felt that there was something indescribable in his tone.
"It's okay, I can handle it."
The main reason is that she goes to buy groceries herself. She can also take out some vegetables she had previously stocked up on and vegetables she grew herself from her space. If she asked her aunt to buy them for her, she wouldn't have that opportunity.
"Don't be shy. Your aunt stays at home doing housework and taking care of the children anyway, so just let her help you. If you really feel bad, you can also cook for us occasionally."
Only after hearing this did Zhao Shuyi understand what the other person was trying to say.
She couldn't help but rub her forehead.
This person is trying to freeload a meal, going through all that trouble.
"Director Kong, would you like some fried rice with eggs?"
"eat!"
In the end, Zhao Shuyi not only prepared for Dr. Tan and Director Kong, but also for Ying Qichao and his wife next door, as well as Dr. Meng.
After dinner, she was about to wash the dishes when Dr. Tan sent her back to her room, telling her to go back to her studies.
This was exactly what Zhao Shuyi wanted.
Zhao Shuyi quickly went back to her room and entered her spatial dimension.
She's currently very enthusiastic about learning and can't wait to learn more.
She stayed in the space for a long time and read a book before it was almost time for her afternoon training. She drank a cup of spiritual spring water, left the space, and went straight to the hospital.
Zhao Shuyi arrived neither early nor late.
She went in and waited for about five or six minutes before everyone arrived.
"Everyone, what questions did you do this morning? Did you find the right answers when you got back? Do you need to go over the test paper?"
Everyone came here intending to learn, so there was no reason for them not to. Therefore, they all agreed that the test paper should be discussed, but after answering the questions, they secretly looked at Zhao Shuyi.
Zhao Shuyi got a perfect score, and the news had spread among the trainees. Even some people in the hospital knew that there was a particularly outstanding doctor in their training program.
She probably doesn't need an explanation.
However, they couldn't read anything from Zhao Shuyi's face; she was looking down at her exam paper.
Some people still feel unbalanced. They know how capable the other party is, so why put her together with them? Is it to embarrass them?
As a result, Director Kong's next words indirectly revealed the reason to everyone.
"I believe everyone saw Comrade Zhao Shuyi's exam paper this morning. She answered every question very meticulously and with sound reasoning. Let's hear how she understands these questions."
