With Lu Li busy here, Jiang Yan didn't have to worry about much. She was just about to clean up the yard when she heard someone shouting outside the door: "Hi, are you Lu Xiao's lover Jiang Yan? Hello! My name is Su Xue. We met this morning. I hope I didn't scare you!"
Su Xue looked to be in her thirties. She was wearing a white shirt and black pants, with her hair tied up. Her face looked a bit heroic, and it was obvious that she had fought in the army.
Jiang Yan stepped forward and opened the door for her: "How could you be scared? People like that should be beaten, so that they don't think the army is hers.
It’s fine in the hospital, but what will others think of us, the military families, who have no sense of collective honor.”
Su Xue smiled cheerfully: "I'm glad you're not scared. Didn't Lu Xiao tell you? My man has taken care of him! If you don't mind, call me sister-in-law or elder sister. You're used to living here, right?"
As she spoke, she walked into the house and saw that the Lu family's yard was quite spacious. If they grew vegetables there, they would have enough to eat.
"Sister-in-law, come in and sit down. Have you eaten yet? I'll heat it up for you!"
Seeing Jiang Yan wanted to pour her some brown sugar water, she declined, "Then I'll call you Xiao Jiang! Just give your sister-in-law a glass of cold water. I don't like those sweet things.
Besides, I am taking medicine to prepare for pregnancy, and the doctor told me to pay attention to my diet. I am suffering a lot, I can’t eat this or that.”
"Okay, sister-in-law!" Jiang Yan poured her a glass of cold water, brought out some melon seeds and peanuts and placed them on the table!
"Sister-in-law, eating melon seeds, you came to see me, is there something wrong?"
Jiang Yan's tone was generous, which was what Su Xue liked. She smiled and said, "I heard that you have popularized first aid knowledge in the brigade. To be honest, my sister-in-law came here to ask you for help!"
No way! Brother Lu, how many people have you told? No matter how good you are, you can't show off like this! She will be embarrassed!
Su Xue saw her cute little expression and couldn't help but laugh: "Lu Xiao really loves you! He can find a wife like you, who wouldn't say that his ancestors were well buried.
You look like a cultured person from a big city, how could you like these barbarians? If there was any obedient puppy, I would not like this rough guy in my family, and he is the one who chased after me relentlessly. "
When talking about her husband, Su Xue's eyes were full of happiness, and it was obvious that they had a very good relationship.
Jiang Yan smiled: "Isn't it because you're worried that he will be embarrassed everywhere? I'm so embarrassed to say that, sister-in-law, what's the matter? I'm just worried that I'm a useless person and can't help you!"
Su Xue glared at her and said, "Don't be so modest with your sister-in-law. You have a very active brain! You promoted the Heimlich maneuver and cardiopulmonary resuscitation to everyone in the village, right?
I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I say this, but the island is remote, medical care is scarce, and it's close to the sea. Many people drown every year in nearby brigades and hospitals, and the best time for first aid is missed. If this can be popularized, the death rate can be reduced to a great extent.
Children are the future of the country, and we are all working hard to hope for their well-being!"
This generation has a strong sense of responsibility and mission. After completing their studies, they return to their home country, give back what they have learned to ordinary people, and actively work to build the country.
Jiang Yan didn't seem to be upset. She just repeated what she had said before. She was also a military family member, and all this was within her ability.
She readily agreed: "Okay! When you decide it's a good time, let me know when you've made the arrangements!"
Su Xue liked the kind of people who didn’t refuse. She was also very straightforward: “Xiao Jiang, you’re also studying medicine!”
Jiang Yan nodded: "My maternal family is a medical family, and I learned a little bit from them since I was a child."
Su Xue was a little surprised: "You have learned more than just a little! As for the Heimlich technique, I have only seen it in Beijing Hospital. People in remote areas have never heard of it. My sister-in-law has not received systematic training, and I am afraid that if I teach it wrong, it will harm people. Studying medicine is different from other things. If you make a mistake, it will kill people! By the way, are you interested in working in the hospital? We need talents like you!"
Help! She just wanted to stay at home and do nothing, but these jobs kept coming to her door.
Could this be the legendary halo of the vicious female supporting role?
She thought about it and decided to lie down, so she refused: "Sister-in-law, I..."
Su Xue held out her hand: "Xiao Jiang, don't rush to refuse. Think about it for a few days. I'm not blackmailing you morally. I see that you are here for this job. You just arrived and are new to the island. You will get used to it in a few days. Finding a place to squat will help you kill time, right?"
Jiang Yan scratched her hands and said truthfully, "I promised Sister Zhang tomorrow that I will go to the Public Security Bureau for an interview at the Publicity Department. This..."
If she doesn’t want to come, then don’t come. If she comes, it’s double the amount. She doesn’t like this kind of stimulation. She doesn’t like being a slave!
Su Xue smiled and said lightly: "What's the big deal? There is no hard requirement for the working hours in the publicity department over there. Sister-in-law believes that you can definitely do it. However, the hospital is close to home and the salary is better than there. I..."
"Sister-in-law, you are trying to steal my girlfriend! I heard your voice from a long way away, and I thought I misheard it. I didn't expect it to be you. Why don't you say you are going to another province for a meeting?"
Zhang Xiujuan walked in carrying a shoulder bag and sat down by herself.
Jiang Yan stood up and poured water: "Sister Zhang, it's the early shift today! Everyone is back!"
Zhang Xiujuan took the water she poured and took a sip. She was riding the 28-inch bicycle so fast that she was still a little out of breath. She was in a hurry to come back and cook for the child and the man at home!
She said, "Of course. After get off work, he rushed home as fast as he could. Ma Fuqiang was like a starving ghost. When he came back, the pot and the stove were cold, so he couldn't help but complain."
Su Xue sighed and said jokingly, "Oh, Xiujuan, is there anyone you can't control? If you hit him twice, you will be the boss of the family. All men in the army are like this, they are very patriarchal and believe in men working outside and women working inside. Fortunately, my son has been disciplined, otherwise he would have been beaten."
Zhang Xiujuan's eyes narrowed with laughter: "Don't make fun of me. I can't beat her. Don't talk nonsense. This is the one I like. My leader is still whispering in my ear! How can I explain if you poach her?"
Su Xue smiled and said, "This is not called digging, this is called choosing the nearest place. Going to the Public Security Bureau requires riding a bike, which is very troublesome. Here, it's just a few steps to work, and the allowances and benefits are also good."
Su Xue generously showed the advantages of working in the hospital. Zhang Xiujuan glanced at her several times and made a final decision: "I don't care, Sister Su, I said it first. Let's go by first come first served. Wait for her to go to the bureau tomorrow and then consider your side. Our director can't sit still any longer."
Jiang Yan's major is suitable for the job and she will be promoted faster in the hospital, so Zhang Xiujuan also considers her from the bottom of her heart.
Su Xue also laughed happily: "Xiujuan, don't blame me for snatching people! Everyone wants talents, don't I cherish talents? When I saw Xiao Jiang, I felt that he was to my liking."
