A man dressed noticeably better than the others, and who looked quite refined, approached. "Hello! I'm Jiang Minzheng, an educated youth sent to the Lijia Gou production brigade. Which production brigade are you from?"
Zhao Guangliang: "Hello Comrade Jiang, my name is Zhao Guangliang, and we are from the Qingshantun Production Brigade."
"Oh? I heard that the dried sour pears from Qingshan Village made a lot of money. It was the idea of the educated youth team. That's really clever!"
Zhao Guangliang glanced at Xie Yuyao, unsure of what to say for a moment.
Jiang Minzheng caught this glance, and he immediately turned to Xie Yuyao and asked, "Hello, comrade, are you also an educated youth sent to the countryside?"
Xie Yuyao nodded calmly, "Hello!"
Today she was wearing a light-colored dress with a beige trench coat. Her overall demeanor was elegant yet understated, making it easy to guess that she was a sent-down youth.
"It's fate that we can participate in this training together. If there's anything you don't understand, please don't hesitate to teach me," Jiang Min said with a graceful and humble demeanor.
Xie Yuyao replied, "I am not a teacher."
"Minzheng, what are you talking about? You've been chatting for so long!" A pretty girl walked over, her gaze towards Xie Yuyao filled with hostility.
"Let's chat casually. Let me introduce you. This is Li Hongmei, the daughter of our brigade leader." Jiang Minzheng finished speaking and stared at Xie Yuyao, waiting for her to introduce herself.
Xie Yuyao turned her head away, pretending to look at the scenery, and didn't say anything.
Upon hearing her identity, Li Huixiu became very enthusiastic, saying, "Hongmei, I am Li Huixiu, and my father is the accountant of Qingshantun."
Li Hongmei's heart was entirely with the man. She nodded to Li Huixiu and then tried to pull Jiang Minzheng away, saying, "Brother Minzheng, it's almost time. Let's go back to the team!"
Seeing Xie Yuyao's obviously distant attitude, Jiang Min had no choice but to temporarily back down and return to her original group.
Zhao Hongqin, who had been observing from the sidelines, finally understood what her elder brother meant by "protecting" her.
Having unlocked her full potential, she addressed any approaching men as "my future sister-in-law," thwarting their attempts to woo her and making Xie Yuyao overjoyed.
This little girl is so... adorable!
A few minutes before eight o'clock, Director Tian and the commune cadre appeared.
Director Tian first called roll, and all 23 people were present. Then the commune cadre gave a speech.
"You are all educated youth selected from various brigades. You must seize this opportunity, study hard, and become grassroots medical and health personnel in our Red Flag Commune in the future, becoming the backbone of the brigade's medical and nursing force!"
Thunderous applause erupted, and many people were filled with excitement.
Director Tian led everyone to a large conference room and gave each person two copies of materials.
"The materials you have are divided into two parts: one on basic diseases and treatment of external injuries, and the other on common Chinese herbal medicines. Studying medicine is different from other fields; you must have a rigorous attitude, be responsible, compassionate, and continuously learn." Director Tian scanned everyone present, and seeing their serious expressions, nodded in satisfaction.
"Take a look at the materials first to familiarize yourself with them. The mobile medical team will come over to meet you later. They will be responsible for your training."
After saying that, Director Tian left first.
As soon as he left, the meeting room became lively. Many people flipped through the documents and lamented how difficult it was!
Xie Yuyao also looked down and flipped through the materials. There were indeed many professional terms, and it would take some effort to get started.
Not long after, the mobile medical team arrived. There were five men and two women. They introduced themselves briefly, and then the team leader stayed behind to give a lesson to the trainees while the others left.
The medical team leader's surname was Zhuang. He was a tall, middle-aged man with a stern face and a loud, booming voice.
He looked at the swarm of trainees with displeasure. Five production brigades, yet more than twenty trainees—how many of them were people with connections, using this opportunity to avoid labor?
Having served in the military, he was intolerant of any wrongdoing. Studying medicine was a matter of life and death, and he would never allow anyone to take advantage of the situation.
"In this training, I will adopt the military's management system. Anyone who fails to complete the daily quiz will be punished accordingly. If you want to slack off, I advise you to quit as soon as possible." Captain Zhuang sharply scanned the entire room, and many people lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.
Even Xie Yuyao felt a little guilty.
After giving a few instructions, Captain Zhuang began explaining the contents of the materials.
Despite his serious demeanor, his teaching style is insightful yet easy to understand, incorporating real-world examples to ensure that all students can grasp and absorb the material effectively.
As the lesson ended, before leaving, he dropped a bombshell: "You must write down everything I just said and understand it thoroughly. I will be checking your work this afternoon."
As a result, during breaks between classes, many students were also engrossed in memorizing materials, and no one dared to slack off.
If you really can't answer, you'll lose all face.
The subsequent lessons were taught by other doctors, some serious and some kind, but none of them had Captain Zhuang's imposing presence.
After half a day, the trainees had a lot of medical knowledge crammed into their heads, and felt that there was so much to remember.
You can eat lunch at the health center's canteen, or you can find your own lunch.
"Qinqin, let's go to the state-run restaurant. I heard they have a new chef who makes delicious chicken stew with mushrooms," Li Huixiu suggested, shaking Zhao Hongqin's hand.
Zhao Hongqin asked Xie Yuyao, "Sister Yaoyao, what do you think?"
"I'm fine with anywhere." After saying that, Xie Yuyao looked at Zhao Guangliang.
Zhao Guangliang hesitated. He didn't want to waste money, but he also felt it wasn't good for him to be alone during a group activity.
Li Huixiu generously said, "Brother Guangliang, let's go together! Lunch is on me!"
"Let's split the bill equally, let's go." Zhao Guangliang felt it was unfair for the young lady to treat him, so he suggested splitting the bill equally.
Upon arriving at the hospital entrance, we discovered that the mobile medical teams were providing free medical consultations. Several makeshift tents had been set up at the entrance, and many people were queuing up to receive treatment.
This made the teams from Qingshantun and Lijia Gou, who were going out for a meal, stop in their tracks. Zhao Guangliang suggested, "Let's eat in the canteen instead. Let's try to spend some time helping the teacher and learn properly."
Xie Yuyao was the first to agree to his suggestion, followed closely by Zhao Hongqin, and Li Huixiu also objected unreasonably. The four of them then changed their route to the cafeteria.
In Lijia Gou, Jiang Minzheng was the de facto leader. Seeing that the people from Qingshan Village had all gone to the canteen, he decided to go there as well.
The health center's canteen was bustling with activity as many trainees joined.
Xie Yuyao ate a bowl of noodles casually. After everyone finished eating, she joined a group of students who seemed to have been injected with chicken blood and went to assist the traveling doctors at the free clinic.
Soon, a dozen or so female trainees surrounded the two female doctors in the patrol team, while the male trainees followed the male doctors in twos and threes.
As for the strictest Captain Zhuang, he also has a trainee by his side—Jiang Minzheng.
