"Alright, everyone's gone, stop looking."
Hearing what Old Zhang said, Jiang Wenwan looked away, a happy smile spreading across her face as she smiled at Old Zhang.
"Teacher, you must have been a handsome young man when you were young, and you are a handsome uncle now."
Old Zhang smiled.
"Stop giving me useless information. Have you even read the medical books I gave you?"
"If you don't understand anything, ask me right away. Also, I'll teach you how to use some of the equipment here. That's all for today."
When it came to serious matters, Jiang Wenwan quickly straightened her expression.
"Okay, I've finished reading one of the two books the teacher gave me, and I can already recite the whole thing from memory."
Old Jiang waved his hand.
"Don't give me this useless stuff, I don't want to hear you recite your lessons."
Rote memorization is not as reliable as applying knowledge practically. Now I'm going to test you...
Jiang Wenwan ate lunch at the clinic until noon.
The woman from the clinic I'd met before sized her up several times, her eyes darting around, before leaning closer to Jiang Wenwan and asking:
What is your relationship with Old Zhang?
After you start learning from him, will you stay at our clinic?
Jiang Wenwan immediately understood what she meant, thinking to herself that this older sister was quite composed.
First, find out if she plans to stay at their clinic, since working there is a secure job!
If they say yes, then there will be a conflict of interest between them.
If they say no, then there is no conflict of interest between them, and they can still coexist peacefully for the time being.
"No, I'm an educated youth sent to the countryside. I won't stay at our clinic. I'll go back to the educated youth settlement and come here to learn for two days every week."
The woman, also surnamed Liu, nodded happily upon hearing this.
"Oh, if that's the case, then Old Master Zhang has been very devoted to you."
I thought you were going to stay after you finished your studies!
She was terrified; besides Old Zhang, she was the most senior person here.
After Old Zhang retires, she will have the opportunity to move up a rank.
I thought a young person had suddenly arrived to take over Old Zhang's job!
Jiang Wenwan was in a good mood today, even though she didn't like getting into fights with people anyway.
Who wouldn't want to live in peace and harmony?
"Sister Liu is joking. I've only learned a little bit."
"Hahaha, why call me 'sister'? Call me 'auntie'!"
"Oh dear, my daughter is older than you, and you still call me 'sister'."
"Yeah?
But you look so young, sister! You seem only a few years older than me. Look at your amazing skin!
These words made Aunt Liu laugh so hard she couldn't stop.
"Oh, this is all taught to me by Master Zhang. It's a face cream made with astragalus root. My skin feels great after using it."
I'll get you a bottle later.
I also have clam oil here. I'll give you a small bottle; it's good for applying to the face.
Seeing how enthusiastic she was, Jiang Wenwan didn't refuse. She also had Friendship Snow Cream in her own space, which was also very good for applying to the face.
"Okay, thank you, Sister Liu."
"Why are you calling me 'sister'? Call me 'auntie' from now on, hahaha."
This hearty laugh reminded Jiang Wenwan of Sister Liu at the state-run restaurant, and she decided to go to the state-run restaurant to buy food when she went back that night.
"Oh right, I still need to get food for the patients in our room over there. I can't talk to you anymore."
Jiang Wenwan had been studying in Old Zhang's room and had never actually wandered around the clinic before.
I don't know who the patient she was talking about was, but people from Xiatangzi Village came out and met Jiang Wenwan.
"Hey, aren't you that Jiang Zhiqing?"
Jiang Wenwan looked at him in confusion, then remembered that he was one of the three people who went up the mountain with Song Qingshu, and he was the only one who was unharmed.
"Song Qingshu is also at this clinic!"
The young man remembered Jiang Wenwan.
"Yes, Jiang Zhiqing, what are you doing here?"
"I came here to learn from Mr. Zhang when I had nothing else to do."
The young man stared at her with wide eyes.
"You also know medicine?"
"I'm a beginner, I only know the basics. You're busy, I'm going to get some food."
The young man watched his retreating figure thoughtfully.
In the afternoon, she continued to learn about some of the medical devices of this era from Mr. Zhang.
At this point, there wasn't anything too complicated; it was all simple. She learned it all in less than an afternoon, and then it was time to insert the needles.
This is a very serious technical point.
You need to recognize the acupoints.
This is a bit difficult for her.
"This person has so many acupoints on their body, it's quite difficult. I'll go back and memorize them properly."
I'll come back in a couple of days after I've memorized the acupoint chart.
Old Zhang waved his hand, saying that the girl was too clever and he needed to prepare himself more carefully.
This girl is a natural-born medical student; she's quick-witted and has a fast memory.
It seems I'll have to visit Kaoshan Village sometime.
Jiang Wenwan returned in the afternoon, and Zhou Yunting had already sent someone back to ask for leave.
From afar, a group of people could be seen coming down from the mountain; it was Master Zhang and his men.
Zhang Weiguo ran over and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhou Yunting hadn't come back with her.
“Jiang Zhiqing, you’re back. Zhang Sanye and the others injured three people on the mountain, but they still couldn’t shoot down that lynx.”
Goodness, Jiang Wenwan had already discovered that the lynx was incredibly cunning.
Surprisingly, even with so many people like Master Zhang going up the mountain together, they still couldn't shoot down the lynx. That lynx must have become a spirit from eating too much ginseng!
"It's so hard to beat!"
So what are their plans now?
"I don't know, we might have to keep going up the mountain."
"By the way, Zhou, the educated youth, didn't come back with you?"
Jiang Wenwan glanced at him.
"No, okay, I'll go back now. I need to ask for leave tomorrow. I plan to write a letter to my partner and mail it to her in the county."
Zhang Weiguo nodded silently.
"Actually, the postman will come the day after tomorrow, so it's the same if you send it the day after tomorrow."
Jiang Wenwan didn't originally intend to send a letter, but rather to remind him that she had a partner and shouldn't harbor any inappropriate thoughts.
"Oh, I see. Then I won't ask for leave tomorrow. I'm going back now."
Go back and write the letter for my partner first.
Zhang Weiguo forced a smile, watched Jiang Wenwan walk away, and scratched his head.
Back at the educated youth settlement, Zhu Xiaomin didn't cook; she sighed whenever she saw her.
"I haven't finished the things my mom mailed for me yet, Wanwan, please help me eat more!"
Jiang Wenwan was delighted.
"You've already given me so much, and you still haven't finished eating. Where's your bottomless stomach?"
Zhu Xiaomin pulled her into the house and told her to take more with her.
"Take some with you quickly, we're really not cooking tonight, we'll finish it in the next two days."
Otherwise, things will really get bad.
Jiang Wenwan thought about the meat buns she still had in her lunchbox, and decided she could save them for tomorrow morning.
She ate the food that Zhu Xiaomin's family sent her that night.
It's almost June, but the weather is still quite cool.
At this point, however, these items lack preservatives and sealed bags, so the problem needs to be resolved as soon as possible.
"Wanwan, I have something to tell you. I saw something today, and I haven't dared to tell anyone else."
