"Of course, you can only work as a temporary worker in our department at first. Once you have obtained all the certificates, I will apply for you to be transferred to a regular employee."

Lu Baiwei didn't know that this was Director Shen's plan.

Lu Baiwei was very touched that he only had some old friendship with her grandfather and considered her for this reason.

However, she still had to reject Director Shen's kindness.

Because He Ting's nephews and nieces will soon be sent to live in Xiangyang Brigade, she has to help He Ting take care of the two children, and it is extremely inconvenient for her to travel to and from the county town for work.

Also, her goal is not to be a temporary worker in a hospital, she yearns for a bigger stage.

It is now the summer of 1975, and the college entrance examination will be resumed in September of the following year.

In her previous life, she suffered from not having a diploma. After her rebirth, she was ready to seize the opportunity of the resumption of the college entrance examination.

Working as a barefoot doctor in the brigade, she had more time to review high school content and prepare for the college entrance examination two years later.

"Grandpa Shen, thank you for your kindness."

Lu Baiwei rejected with regret: "I'm married and want to stay in the brigade and work as a barefoot doctor."

Director Shen felt that this girl was ungrateful for letting go of such a good opportunity.

He snorted coldly: "You think marrying a good-looking man will help, but you still have to rely on yourself."

"Little girl, you will regret it one day."

Director Shen no longer wanted to talk to her.

The old man is so stubborn!

No wonder Brother Shen has to coax her all the time.

Lu Baiwei saw the shadow of her grandfather in him and didn't mind coaxing him.

"Grandpa Shen, next time my brother and his girlfriend go hunting in the mountains, I'll ask them to bring you a rabbit."

Thinking of the spicy rabbit heads, Old Man Shen felt a little comforted.

He asked Lu Baiwei: "Can you play tricks on rabbits?"

"Yes, spicy, fragrant, and sauce-flavored. My grandfather used to love the spicy rabbit head I made the most."

"What flavor do you like to eat?"

"It's your conscience, little girl."

Director Shen said proudly: "The spicy rabbit head is delicious, I won't eat it for nothing, I will teach you some special skills later."

Director Shen’s best skill is pulse diagnosis, and he is a master at it.

By taking the pulse, observing, smelling, asking and palpating, even the slightest symptoms that have not yet occurred can be detected. It just so happens that Lu Baiwei is not very good at taking the pulse because her grandfather Tang Zhongjing is good at bone setting.

Director Shen wants to promote her and teach her the art of pulse diagnosis?

It is always good to have many skills.

You'd be a fool not to seize this great opportunity.

Lu Baiwei climbed up the pole and said, "Okay, Master, next time I come back to the county, I'll make some spicy rabbit heads to honor you."

"You had the chance to stay in the county hospital, but you insisted on going back to the brigade to be a barefoot doctor. I don't have an apprentice as useless as you."

Director Shen threw her barefoot doctor certificate and a pulse diagnosis book to her and said, "Go away, go home and figure it out on your own. Don't expect me to teach you step by step..."

A man with a wife is a treasure, and a man without a wife is like a weed.

Without Lu Baiwei at home, He Ting found life very difficult.

Fortunately, the long fifteen days finally passed.

When Lu Baiwei's internship was about to end, He Ting set out early in the morning to pick her up in the county town.

Knowing that Lu Baiwei was going to take medical equipment and medicines back to the brigade, He Ting carried two baskets on the back seat of his bicycle.

He Ting was bored waiting at the hospital entrance. It was still early for the time he had agreed to meet Lu Baiwei, so he went to visit a nearby scrap collection station.

When he was in the Beijing compound, he learned the skill of collecting old things from Grandpa Zhou Yanfeng. At the scrap recycling station, he saw a chipped bowl, a dirty bottle, and an old jar for pickling kimchi. He Ting bought them for fifty cents and put them in his backpack.

He Ting was still not satisfied with rummaging through the pile of junk. He was still regretting that he came back to the county town just to exchange the prey for money, and did not visit the scrap recycling station near the hospital.

Thinking that the time for his appointment with Lu Baiwei was approaching, he had to stop for the time being and ride his bike to the hospital entrance.

After Lu Baiwei received her things, she stood in a daze at the entrance of the hospital holding the snakeskin bag.

"Weiwei, what are you looking at?"

Lu Baiwei had been guarding a snakeskin bag and turned her head to look towards the hospital entrance. She only turned her head when she heard He Ting calling her.

He Ting thought he had made Lu Baiwei wait for too long.

He Ting stepped on the ground to brake the bicycle and explained apologetically, "It was still early, so I went to the nearby recycling station."

"Have I kept you waiting for a long time?"

The reason why Lu Baiwei kept turning her head to stare at the hospital entrance was that she was thinking about something.

Just now he saw someone rushing into the hospital holding a child, and that person looked very much like Tang Jingchuan.

He almost thought that it was her second uncle Tang Jingchuan who had returned from the army.

However, her second uncle got married late and has a son and a daughter, while her cousins ​​are not married yet.

If it was my second uncle Tang Jingchuan, why would he come to the hospital with a child who was over three years old? It was impossible for him to have a granddaughter that old.

Lu Baiwei hasn't seen her second uncle Tang Jingchuan for two years since her grandfather passed away.

Although the man looked very much like her second uncle, Lu Baiwei thought it couldn't be Tang Jingchuan who was thousands of miles away, but should be someone who looked very similar to her second uncle.

After talking to He Ting, Lu Baiwei reasoned in her mind and said with certainty: "It can't be my second uncle. How could my second uncle suddenly come back from the army?"

"There are many strange things in the world, and there are many people who look alike."

He Ting helped her move the equipment and medicines he received from the hospital. When he put the things into the basket, Lu Baiwei saw the things He Ting bought from the scrap collection station.

"Did you find this jar at the purchasing station? Are you going to take it home to make kimchi?"

"It can be used for more than just pickling kimchi. I see this jar is quite old, so I want to take it back and let Zhou Yanfeng take a look at it."

He Ting told Lu Baiwei that the reason why he and Zhou Yanfeng could play together was because Zhou Yanfeng's grandfather worked in Liulichang and was in charge of receiving goods.

For a while, he became obsessed with old things and often came to pester Grandpa Zhou Yanfeng. From then on, Zhou Yanfeng became his constant companion and he couldn't get rid of him.

Lu Baiwei put the person she met who looked like Tang Jingchuan out of her mind and heard that Zhou Yanfeng's grandfather actually worked in Liulichang, her eyes lit up.

Due to policy reasons, antiques and other old items are not worth much now.

But after two years, as the economy recovers, old items will only become more and more valuable.

Grandpa Zhou Yanfeng is really a big shot in the arm as he is in charge of collecting items in Liulichang.

It turns out that she is so close to the boss.

He Ting found some good stuff at the scrap collection station, and Lu Baiwei also became interested.

"Does the scrapyard have high school textbooks?"

Lu Baiwei suggested: "It won't take much time anyway, why don't we go and look for high school textbooks? During this internship at the county hospital, I realized how important it is to learn more knowledge."

Having only attended junior high school has always been a regret in Lu Baiwei's heart after her rebirth.

She learned from Zhou Yanfeng that He Ting had excellent grades when he was in school, and since there was a ready-made teacher, it would be a waste not to use him.

Time is running out, with only two years left, so she must catch up on her high school knowledge as quickly as possible.
