When Shen Annian returned to the village, he found that the villagers were a little different. They all had smiles on their faces, as if they had picked up money.
After asking, I found out that it wasn't money that was picked up, but money that was distributed by the brigade.
Seeing how happy they are, it seems they made a lot of money this year.
It’s good to be able to make money, making money means being able to live a good life.
She pushed the cart forward for a distance and saw Lin Hui and Zhou Mei not far away. They were looking around, and when they saw her, they walked quickly towards her.
Lin Hui greeted her, "Niannian, you're back."
"You guys are looking for me."
Lin Hui looked at Zhou Mei, who pursed her lips and said, "I heard that our team has a quota for studying at the hospital. I would like to sign up, is that okay?"
I studied Traditional Chinese Medicine with my grandfather for a period of time and have a certain understanding of medicine. I think I should be able to do this job."
Shen Annian was a little surprised. She didn't expect Zhou Mei to know medical skills.
"Why haven't I heard you say that before?"
Zhou Mei bit her lip and said after a long while, "My grandfather was sent down to the countryside during the "Four Olds" movement. He asked us not to tell anyone about this. I didn't mean to hide it from you."
Seeing her carefully explaining to herself, Shen Annian smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I don't mean to blame you. I'm just a little surprised."
"Can I sign up with you?"
"After all, this is a matter for the brigade, so just tell the captain.
But I want to make it clear to you that this trip to the hospital is not just to learn, but also to spread the knowledge I have learned to my fellow villagers and promote daily medical knowledge to everyone.
Do you think you can explain this medical knowledge to everyone?"
Zhou Mei looked at Lin Hui hesitantly. Meeting Lin Hui's encouraging eyes, she nodded with determination, "I can do it."
"Since you say so, then come with me to register with the captain."
Zhou Mei asked in surprise: "Are we going over now?"
"It's just a registration, do you have to pick a good day?"
Zhou Mei waved her hands repeatedly, "No, that's not what I meant. I just think it would be too disturbing to the captain if I went over now."
"No, let's go."
Zhou Mei nodded silently.
If she goes to see the team leader, she can also ask for leave from him.
Today she received more than 400 yuan. She kept some of it for herself and sent the rest back home so that her family could have a good New Year.
Qin's father was a little surprised when he heard that Zhou Mei wanted to sign up. Zhou Mei had been in Dahe Village for two years, but she was rather shy and rarely talked or chatted with others.
He always felt that it was a bit unreliable to let her go to the hospital to study and then come back to teach everyone.
"Have you thought about it? After studying at the hospital, can you really teach everyone?"
Zhou Mei was already a little timid, and when Qin's father asked her this, she became even more nervous, and her eyes fell on Shen Anyan for help.
Shen Anyan: "Don't look at me, no one can help you with this matter, only you can decide whether you can do it well."
Zhou Mei lowered her head and thought for a long time. At this moment, many things flashed through her mind, and finally she nodded.
"I can."
Father Qin subconsciously looked at Shen Anyan, and when he saw Shen Anyan nodded slightly at him, he replied: "Okay, I'll report your name, and you must study hard."
Zhou Mei was extremely happy and bowed deeply. "Thank you, Captain. I will definitely study hard."
"You've earned this through your own efforts. Keep working hard."
"Captain, I'd like to ask for leave tomorrow to go to town. Is that okay?"
It was winter now and there wasn't much work to do. Qin's father approved her leave, and Zhou Mei and Lin Hui went back happily.
Watching them leave, Father Qin asked, "Zhou Zhiqing is too soft-hearted. Do you really think it's appropriate to let her go to study this time?"
"Although Zhou Mei is shy, she is patient and careful enough, so there shouldn't be any problems.
What's more, if she is willing to change, then give her a chance to change.
Dad, changing everyone's mindset is not something that can be done overnight. It requires long-term, gradual guidance. During this period, I believe Zhou Mei will definitely change."
"Okay, then I'll listen to you."
Qin's father finally handed over Zhou Mei's list.
Each brigade also selected candidates to study at the hospital. The hospital gave them a week of study time, and classes would start in three days.
When Shen An Nian arrived at the hospital, he saw these selected people and said, “We asked you to come here to study today, don’t think that everything will be fine.
After the study, you will have to take a test. If you fail the test, the commune will not allow you to spread medical knowledge to the villagers.
We will then make personnel adjustments. We would rather let the educated youth who have passed the exam do more work, and carry out propaganda in each village, than use those who have failed the exam."
After she said this, several people who had originally planned to just muddle through immediately gave up their thoughts.
No matter what, this job can earn work points and is much easier than working in the fields. They cannot afford to delay their studies just for the sake of temporary ease.
Shen Anyian handed the person over to Director Liang, and went to the commune to give He Xiaoying the smoked chicken made by Qin's mother.
He Xiaoying opened the bag and saw two chickens inside. She asked in surprise, "Why are there so many?"
"Take it home and eat it."
He Xiaoying was a little embarrassed, "I...how can I feel embarrassed about this."
"You're welcome. You can just heat up this smoked chicken and eat it. If you want something spicy, you can stir-fry it with chili peppers. It tastes great too."
