Chapter 208: Third Brother Introduces a Job

Everyone was startled. Fu Nanzheng, who was sitting nearby, quickly stood up and asked, "Aunt Sun, are you okay? Did you hurt your hand?"

Xia Juanjuan looked at Sun Chunhua in a strange way. She hadn't done anything, so why did she scare him so much that he dropped the plate?

Sun Chunhua's face turned pale. She forced a smile and quickly squatted down to pick up the broken plate. She shook her head and said, "It's nothing. I just slipped. I'll go and get another cucumber."

Fu Weixin said, "These dishes are enough, stop working."

After hearing this, Sun Chunhua could only smile and said, "Well, that's fine."

Fu Nanzheng had already taken a broom and cleaned up the broken plates and cucumbers.

Everyone started to work.

In theory, this table of dishes is indeed very good, especially the hand-pulled lamb, which is such a big plate. I am afraid it must have taken four or five kilograms of raw lamb to make such a big plate.

The mutton eaten with hands has its original flavor. The mutton is put directly into the pot and boiled until it is soft but not falling apart. It is then taken out and normally does not need to be sliced. Everyone uses a knife to slice it themselves and eats it with their hands, dipping it in sauce or sprinkling salt and cumin.

But since we are not eating out today, we still cut it into small pieces.

The other dishes were also good.

At the table, everyone chatted casually, but Mr. Fu would ask Xia Juanjuan from time to time about family matters, such as whether her life was hard as a child, how her parents treated her, how old her parents were, and when her birthday was.

Although Xia Juanjuan was puzzled, she thought that the Fu family cared about Li Zhan's daughter-in-law's family background, so she asked carefully and answered them one by one.

The Fu family is made up of elders, and they don’t like to chat much, so after a while, the atmosphere became a little dull.

Fu Qingye became even more jealous when he saw that both Mr. Fu and Fu Weixin were paying close attention to Xia Juanjuan.

Why did a country woman get so much attention just because she married Li Zhan? She even outshined her adopted daughter?

She seized the opportunity and looked towards Sun Chunhua.

Sun Chunhua was still a little uneasy and didn't notice it for a while. After a while, she noticed it, stood up with a smile, and said, "There's still chicken soup on the fire. I'll go get it."

Fu Nanzheng was afraid that Sun Chunhua would fall again, so he stood up and said with a smile, "I'll go."

Soon, the chicken soup was served on the table. Fu Qingye first served a bowl to Old Master Fu and Fu Weixin, and then served another bowl to Xia Juanjuan, saying with a smile, "Sister-in-law, try this chicken soup. It's made from an old hen, very fresh, and very nutritious."

Xia Juanjuan was stunned for a moment. If someone is being so attentive for no reason, he must be a villain or a thief. What is this Fu Qingye up to?

However, in front of the Fu family, she couldn't say anything and just took it.

Fu Qingye continued, "Aunt Sun put a lot of tonic Chinese herbs in the soup today. Sister-in-law, I heard that you studied Chinese medicine with the community doctor of Qingshui Village, and I heard that a lot of important herbs were collected from the back mountain of Qingshui Village. Can you take a look at what is there? I'm sure you can recognize them all."

Xia Juanjuan smiled. So he was waiting for her here?

However, when it comes to identifying Chinese medicine, it’s normal that ordinary people can’t recognize it. It’s not embarrassing, right?

What is Fu Qingye trying to do?

Fu Nanzheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked with a smile: "So Juanjuan is still studying Chinese medicine? Old Chinese medicine practitioners in the countryside are sometimes very skilled. Juanjuan, if you learn well, I'll ask our hospital tomorrow to arrange an exam for you. If you pass, you'll be given a position in the Chinese medicine pharmacy. Then you can learn more from the doctors in the hospital. It will be good to be a Chinese medicine practitioner in the future."

When Fu Qingye heard this, he almost got angry.

She wanted to embarrass Xia Juanjuan! Why did everyone in her family tear her down and even introduce her to a job?

Working at the Beijing Union Hospital, is that something that ordinary people can get into? !

It is difficult for people with Beijing household registration to get a job. Even she failed when she returned to the city some time ago and wanted to become a nurse.

Xia Juanjuan has a rural household registration and I heard that she only has an elementary school education. Is she worthy?

Moreover, that was a job in a Chinese medicine pharmacy, and the job was done by a Chinese medicine pharmacist, not an ordinary nurse!

Fu Qingye selectively ignored Fu Nanzheng's words about letting Xia Juanjuan "take the exam". Of course, he also deliberately forgot about the fact that he did not pass the nursing exam.

Fu Qingye originally worked in the city's art troupe. Although he wasn't the chief, he was probably ranked second or third.

As a result, she brought disaster upon herself by quitting her job and going to the countryside. When she came back, there were already many young people in the city who couldn't find jobs. It was a very tight spot, and when she wanted to go back, there was no place available.

The troupe agreed to give her an extra role out of consideration for her family's reputation, but she was just a substitute and her previous second or third positions were gone.

Fu Qingye couldn't accept this gap and became unhappy.

It just so happened that Fu Nanzheng Hospital was recruiting doctors and nurses, so Fu Qingye wanted to go. After all, the treatment in the hospital was better than that in the art troupe, and it was also respected.

Fu Nanzheng said from the beginning that Fu Qingye was unreliable, but Fu Qingye was his younger sister after all, so he arranged a class for her to learn and then take the exam.

In those days, universities did not recruit students, so some junior high and high school graduates would take a intensive nursing course for a few months or half a year. Even if they could not become doctors, they could still become nurses, and it was not considered a violation of the principles.

Fu Qingye studied for three or four months, but since Fu Nanzheng was her brother, she didn't study hard. Besides, she wasn't very smart, so when she took the exam, she was unsurprisingly eliminated.

Fu Qingye still wanted to use the back door, but was scolded and had no choice but to go to the art troupe as a substitute.

She didn't reflect on her own lack of effort and felt that Fu Nanzheng was biased.

He ignored his sister who grew up in the same home and enthusiastically introduced a job to a country woman?

"Third brother, didn't you say that we can't use the back door? My sister-in-law has a rural household registration, how can she be qualified to work in your hospital?" Fu Qingye said sourly.

Fu Nanzheng glanced at her and said calmly, "Who said it was a backdoor? Didn't we say that Juanjuan would also take the exam? Besides, given Lizhan's professional level, what's wrong with his rural household registration? It's also the country's policy to arrange jobs for family members."

Fu Qingye was speechless after hearing this. He could only look at Xia Juanjuan with a fake smile and said, "Sister-in-law, you should identify it quickly. If you can't identify the Chinese medicine in the soup, you won't dare to say that you learned Chinese medicine from a Chinese medicine teacher in the future! You will be laughed at!"

Xia Juanjuan glanced at Fu Qingye calmly and smiled softly and beautifully: "I don't think I said that, didn't you say that?"

Fu Qingye: “…”

She was so angry that she forgot...

Xia Juanjuan took a spoonful of chicken soup and took a sip, then looked at the ingredients in it. Wolfberry, red dates and ginger were the most common, and there were also astragalus, angelica, and licorice slices that looked like ginseng slices.

The skin of licorice is originally dark red, and if you understand Chinese medicine, it is easy to distinguish it from ginseng. However, the skin of the licorice in the soup today is lighter, so it is indeed easy to confuse it with ginseng.

Xia Juanjuan had also lied to Lin Yuru by saying that the ginseng tablets were licorice tablets, so she could naturally recognize the difference.

Xia Juanjuan told about the several Chinese medicines she had found.

Upon hearing this, Fu Qingye immediately became complacent and said in a somewhat arrogant tone, "Licorice? Are you sure? Grandpa and Dad said that since it's your first visit, they would cook a few more dishes to entertain you, so Aunt Sun went to the drugstore and spent a lot of money to buy ginseng to make chicken soup. If you don't know it, don't talk nonsense! Really, you thought the Fu family was just like your poor and remote rural area, and could only afford licorice tablets..."

Li Zhan's brows wrinkled inaudibly when he heard Fu Qingye's words. This was... a way to intimidate his wife!

Fu Qingye became more and more excited as she spoke, but before she could finish her words, a voice of suppressed anger suddenly rang out.

“That’s enough!”
