The thought that he had worked diligently in the commune for so many years without a promotion, and now that he was about to be promoted, made him feel that Xie Yan was his lucky star.
He found Yu Shan and instructed him to make sure to invite him to the thank-you banquet at the next meeting.
Sure enough, Xie Yan was summoned to a meeting at the commune.
After a morning of meetings, Xie Yan felt like his buttocks were almost numb from sitting so long.
Finally, the meeting came to an end. The secretary commended Xie Yan, awarded him 100 yuan, and gave him another opportunity to work in the commune.
Of course, the premise was that Xie Yan had to help other brigades build biogas digesters, and he specifically mentioned that he would receive wages and vouchers for building biogas digesters.
Upon hearing the secretary's words, Xie Yan dodged the question and did not immediately agree.
After a while, he approached the secretary and asked cautiously, "Secretary, I'd like to ask you, is it possible to give this job opportunity in the commune to someone else?"
“That person also participated in the construction of our village’s biogas digester, and he even learned how to use it.”
Upon hearing this, the Party Secretary's eyes widened in disbelief. Someone could actually refuse to work for the government. "You don't want to work in the commune?"
He recognized Xie Yan's talent and wanted to recruit him to his team.
Xie Yan lowered his head slightly, looking as if he had done something wrong, and said with great difficulty, "Secretary, it's like this, I am an educated youth sent to the countryside."
"You may not know this, but I have always been particularly interested in medicine. I have never given up learning over the years, and now I have achieved some small success."
The Party Secretary immediately understood; it turned out the man's ambition lay in medicine, and he didn't want to work in the commune.
He thought for a moment, "How about I arrange for you to go to the commune hospital?"
Xie Yan quickly shook his head, looking helpless: "Secretary, my wife is pregnant, and it's twins. Not only that, we also have a young child to take care of at home. I really can't come to work at the commune."
The Party Secretary carefully examined Xie Yan's appearance, and finally sighed helplessly: "Then who do you want to recommend for the job?"
Xie Yan immediately beamed: "My brother-in-law, Secretary, you should have met him, Yu Yuehua."
"Ha!" The secretary does indeed remember this person.
Once, Yu Shan broke his leg, and Yu Yuehua attended a meeting in his father's place. The secretary thought the young man was quite clever and that he would definitely be able to do a better job than Yu Shan if he took over the position.
The secretary didn't say anything more, and directly extended his hand to Xie Yan, "Didn't you say you had some achievements in medical skills? Come on, let me take a look."
Xie Yan smiled and took the secretary's pulse. After a moment, his expression turned serious. "Secretary, you'd better go to the hospital to get it checked out. There might be something wrong with your lungs." It was alveolar pulmonary artery disease, but Xie Yan could tell from the secretary's lack of confidence that he didn't know the cause directly.
The secretary frowned, wondering to himself, as he didn't feel any discomfort.
Do you sometimes have difficulty breathing?
The secretary nodded hesitantly, "It happened a few times, but I was fine after a rest!"
Xie Yan earnestly advised, "Secretary, you should go to a major hospital for a thorough check-up; that way you'll feel more at ease."
Seeing Xie Yan's insistence, the Party Secretary became a little worried. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Okay, I'll go and see when I have time." After that, he didn't mention coming to work at the commune again.
Half a month later, when Yu Shan went to deliver the grain, he was summoned by the Party Secretary.
The Party Secretary told him about having Yu Yuehua come to work, and specifically emphasized that it was a spot given up by Xie Yan.
After Yu Shan returned, he immediately found Xie Yan and firmly told him to go to work.
Xie Yan looked at his stubborn father-in-law and felt a headache coming on.
He only recommended his brother-in-law because he didn't want to go to work.
He has spent so many years honing his medical skills, achieving great mastery, and then he goes to the government and is sent back to the beginner's village to start all over again.
All those years of hard work have been for nothing!
He's not mentally ill.
Besides, working in the government isn't easy. You need not only good speaking skills but also high emotional intelligence. Xie Yan dislikes dealing with so many strangers. He had already decided to open a small clinic and live a leisurely life. Why would he ever work in the government again?
Xie Yan pleaded and begged, going to great lengths to persuade his father-in-law to leave. But that very evening, his brother-in-law showed up at the door.
Compared to the stubborn father-in-law, the brother-in-law is obviously easier to deal with.
After painting a rosy picture of the future at the thank-you banquet and making grand promises, Yu Yuehua left with lofty ambitions and a gleam in his eyes. He was determined to work hard to become a high-ranking official and become a pillar of support for his sister and brother-in-law.
And so, just as Yu Yuehua was happily going to work at the commune, Xie Yan was also urgently summoned to the commune by the commune secretary to see a doctor.
It turned out that after the commune secretary went to the hospital for a check-up, he learned that although his alveoli were not particularly serious, the hospital recommended conservative treatment and advised him to avoid strenuous exercise and cough as little as possible. Further treatment would be given if his condition worsened.
But sometimes things are just strange like that; the more you are told not to do something, the more likely things are to go in the opposite direction.
After returning home, the secretary started coughing frequently for some reason.
At first, he didn't pay much attention, but after coughing for two days and getting worse, he was terrified.
So, the anxious secretary quickly called Xie Yan over.
Xie Yan once again took the secretary's pulse.
After taking his pulse, he pondered for a moment and then prescribed several doses of traditional Chinese medicine.
It must be said that Xie Yan's medical skills are indeed quite good. After the secretary took Chinese medicine for only two days, his cough symptoms were significantly reduced, and after a few days, he stopped coughing altogether and felt much more comfortable.
This made the Party Secretary extremely happy. His previous fear of the disease vanished, and he instantly became full of energy.
After recovering from his illness, the Party Secretary devoted himself wholeheartedly to his work, determined to build Hongxing Commune into the best commune in the vicinity.
Soon they began arranging the construction of biogas digesters in several nearby villages.
This time, Yu Yuehua led the same people who had built biogas digesters before. They were all skilled workers, so the construction of the biogas digesters was much faster this time.
At first, when the villagers saw Yu Yuehua leaving home every morning, they would curiously ask him where he was going. After learning that he was installing biogas digesters in other villages, they gradually got used to it.
Whenever I see Yu Yuehua leaving the house, I instinctively assume he's going to install a biogas digester.
That's why, even after Yu Yuehua had finished installing the biogas digester and had been officially working at the commune for a month, no one noticed anything was wrong.
Finally, the weather gradually turned cold.
There was someone who was usually very close to Yu Yuehua, and they thought they would ask him to hang out, but when they got to her house, they didn't see him.
Upon inquiring, I learned that Yu Yuehua had quietly done something quite significant—she had started working at the commune!
