Chapter 103 Heart to Heart



After Sister Pei Ru's introduction, Mu Huaixi realized that today's college entrance examination is completely different from what she saw on TV news.

Today's college entrance examination is also in July, but more important than the college entrance examination is the preliminary examination in May. Students who do not meet the standards will be eliminated early, and only those who meet the standards will be eligible to register for the college entrance examination.

"This is a new policy this year. It sounds a bit harsh, but in fact, you only need to prepare for the regional exam."

"I will prepare study materials for you. You can study at home first and then attend classes after the high school is merged. You can also ask me if you have any questions."

Mu Huaixi opened her mouth. In fact, she had forgotten everything she learned in junior high school, and she couldn't help feeling guilty.

"Don't worry, you can prepare slowly."

In fact, Chinese medicine does not emphasize academic qualifications, but pays more attention to the teacher's apprenticeship. However, Mu Huaixi really wants to apply to medical school. First, she has inherited the medical skills of the Mu family, and it is not easy for her to become a disciple of someone else. Second, she actually lacks general education. Part of her medical skills come from the words and deeds of her grandfather and father, part from the teachings of predecessors in medical books, and the rest from her own thinking. It is all fragmented education. She is eager to understand how other doctors treat diseases and save lives.

Thirdly...it was actually a knot in her heart. In her previous life, she couldn't find a good job because of her academic qualifications, so when she returned to her youth, she naturally wanted to give it a try.

Mu Huaixi understood and nodded, "Sister-in-law, after I finish my rural doctor exam, I will start studying as you said."

Pei Ru didn't expect her to listen so much, and she opened her heart to her, "To be honest, before Old Song got into trouble, I was actually preparing to take the college entrance exam."

Mu Huaixi immediately pricked up her ears. In her eyes, Sister Pei was already a very educated person, but she didn't expect that she had never been to college!

"I wanted to take the college entrance exam the year it was reinstated, but I was held back by family matters. Later, Lao Song asked me to join the army, so I planned to leave my child with my mother-in-law or send him to a nursery here. I was determined to pass the exam."

"Going to college is also an obsession for me. Besides, people like Lao Song will definitely go to military academy to get promoted. I can't be worse than him, right?"

It was the first time that Mu Huaixi heard such a statement. She understood that Sister Pei was not afraid that she was not worthy of Brother Song, but felt that the two of them also needed to make progress together.

She thought so too, so she nodded heavily and listened to Mrs. Pei continue.

"After Old Song's accident, I became even more determined to go to college. As soon as he settled down in the sanatorium, I started preparing. I'll take him away when I graduate from college. I can't let him always take advantage of the military region and cause trouble for the army."

"You...sister-in-law, you want to..." Mu Huaixi was a little uncertain. Seeing her smile at him, he took the initiative to grab Pei Ru's hand, "Sister-in-law, you are so kind! Let's get ready together!"

Pei Ru was determined to go to college because she wanted to shoulder the burden of supporting the family in the future.

The two of them had now become comrades preparing for the exam, and their relationship was even closer. They talked a lot together and almost forgot the time, but they didn't notice that their words were heard by the two men outside the door.

“…”

Song Zhengxin touched his nose and patted Ying Mingcheng, who was pushing the wheelchair. "Let's go back to the bathtub for a while. My face is frosted. Your sister-in-law will know we were eavesdropping outside at a glance."

Ying Mingcheng lifted his wheelchair and placed it next to the kitchen stove. He then added some firewood to the stove so that the two women in the room could be warmer.

"Sister-in-law is a good person."

"Tsk, what? Xiao Mu isn't good enough?"

Song Zhengxin wiped his face. The frost on his eyelashes melted quickly beside the stove and fell wetly into his palm.

He looked at his brother squatting by the stove and wanted to kick him into the ashes, but he couldn't lift his foot. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that he could hear the two people talking and laughing in the living room from the kitchen.

The kitchen was eerily quiet, with only the crackling sound of burning matches. It took a long time for anyone to speak.

"I think the medicinal bath is pretty good. Can we do it earlier next time? I can handle it."

"My wife is amazing, isn't she? But you can't do it in advance. Xiaoxi said that the body needs time to absorb it. You just have to listen to her."

"Today I finally got to see what it means to be henpecked."

"I'm happy. Xiaoxi is willing to take care of me. Be careful that if your sister-in-law doesn't care about you one day, don't come to me crying."

"You little bastard!"

Mu Huaixi didn't know that Ying Mingcheng had heard their conversation that day, and he never discussed these things with her afterwards. He just became more diligent than before, and she basically didn't have to do any housework. He even got a copybook of calligraphy from somewhere, saying that he wanted to practice calligraphy to calm his mind.

So every night, the two of them would lie on the kang, one reading and the other writing. It was very harmonious and there was a great atmosphere. Mu Huaixi felt that his learning efficiency had improved.

In the blink of an eye, it was the Waking of Insects, and Cao Aijun's wife, who was highly anticipated by the health center, had not yet arrived. However, the military region and local authorities had actually approved the application made before the New Year and sent them three operating beds, a distillation pot, surgical instruments, dressings, etc.

The person who delivered these things on the vehicle was Jiang Wenyuan's senior brother. He also brought a box of books, helped set up the sterile operating room, and provided training to everyone in the health center.

"Your senior is so kind!" Wang Xiaohua now admires Dr. Jiang and his senior. She had also received training at the county hospital, but the senior doctors and nurses were very temperamental and would often scold her if she didn't understand after just one explanation. Unlike Dr. Jiang's senior, who would even invite questions after the lecture.

Jiang Wenyuan's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything. He thought his senior brother might have felt that it was not easy for him to live in the mountains, or he might have not wanted him to waste his surgical skills, so he condescended to come to the health center for a visit.

Otherwise, why would he, a chief physician, come to deliver the goods?

Mu Huaixi also noticed that the relationship between the two brothers was very good. After the operating room was disinfected, she couldn't wait to find Jiang Wenyuan and said, "Doctor Jiang, do you think we can do the cataract surgery I told you about last time?"

As the reputation of the health center grew, many patients with serious or rare diseases came to see a doctor. The one Mu Huaixi was talking about was the white-eyed old lady from Furong Bridge.

Both of the white-eyed grandmother's eyes are mostly covered by white cataracts. It's scary at first glance, but a closer look brings heartache. She said her eyesight was excellent when she was young, but at the age of 45, she woke up with cloudiness in her left eye, and in her 50s, a cataract appeared in her right eye.

She is almost seventy years old now. She has watched herself become blind little by little over the past two or three decades, and she is extremely depressed.

But people said that her eyes could see through yin and yang and that she should be made a fortune teller. However, she would rather not have this "supernatural power". Only when she heard that there was a miracle doctor in the health center did she decide to take a look.
