Before Li Qin could finish speaking, Li Chu interrupted her directly: "Sister, Uncle Wang and I are just making suggestions. The final decision rests with you and my brother-in-law. No one is forcing Jia Dong to go. If you really can't bear to see him go, then don't go."
"Won't that upset Uncle Wang?"
"What are you thinking, sis? I already told you, that was just a suggestion. Whether or not to go is none of Uncle Wang's business."
Li Chu continued, "If you ask me, we might as well not let Jia Dong join the army. Look at Xiao Jun, he's been in the army for so many years and this is the first time he's come back. If you can't bear to part with him, then it's fine if he doesn't go."
“But joining the army will be good for Jia Dong’s future.” Li Qin understood this very well.
"With you and my brother-in-law, do you think Jia Dong won't be able to find a job?"
Li Qin didn't speak, standing there with her head down, deep in thought.
Li Chu leaned close to his sister and whispered, "Sis, I hope you can understand this a little better."
“If Uncle Wang helps, Jia Dong’s path in the army will be much smoother, including promotions and officer appointments. If you and my brother-in-law arrange for Jia Dong to join the army, what benefits will it bring besides being closer to you? My brother-in-law has been out of the army for so many years, and now his connections are all in the local area.”
Li Chu paused here, looked around to make sure no one was watching, and then continued, "As far as I know, the unit that Uncle Wang arranged for us is quite extraordinary, and it needs someone as cultured as Jia Dong."
Li Qin looked up and stared intently at her younger brother, hoping he could explain in more detail.
Although she and Wang Ziwen are both considered leaders, they are actually at the grassroots level, and there are many situations they simply cannot access.
Li Chu shook her head: "Sister, that's all I can say. You can think about the rest yourself. You can't just think about how you can't bear to part with your child; you also need to think about Jia Dong's future."
Li Qin was touched by her brother's words.
Yes, I can't be so selfish. My child has a long life ahead of him, and I can't let him down.
"Sister, have you discussed this with Jiadong? What does he think?" Li Chu asked again.
"Xiao Chu, I've thought it through. Tonight, your brother-in-law and I will talk to Jia Dong and let him choose for himself. Whatever he chooses, I will support him."

“That’s more like it. Jiadong is an adult now, and there are some things he has to make his own decisions about. You and my brother-in-law can pave the way for him, but you can’t walk the path for him.”
"Alright, you can go in now. I need to go back to work too."
After saying that, Li Qin pushed her bicycle and walked towards the hospital entrance.
Li Chu didn't go in; he followed them to the main gate.
Li Qin was about to get on her bicycle when she stopped, turned to look at her younger brother, and said with emotion, "Xiao Chu, you've really grown up now."
His sister's words left him both amused and exasperated: "Sis, I'm almost thirty and already a father of two. Do you still think I haven't grown up?"
Li Qin glared at her younger brother and said, "No matter how old you are, in my heart you'll always be that little brat who follows me around crying." With that, she rode off on her bicycle.
Li Chu shook his head with a wry smile, and only returned to the hospital after watching his sister walk away.
As she walked towards the clinic, she thought, "When my two children grow up and are reformed, their future will be much easier."
Sitting in the consultation room, I thought of my little niece Jia Yuan again, and suddenly felt a terrible headache.
This girl grew up during a great era, and we need to think about her future path in advance. We dare not let her be sent to work in the countryside. Not to mention her sister and brother-in-law, even he would be reluctant to do so.
I need to talk to my sister and brother-in-law in advance, so they don't get carried away and sign up on their own, otherwise it'll be a disaster.
He remembered hearing someone tell him in his previous life that during that period, many people impulsively signed up to go.
After arriving, they discovered that rural life wasn't as wonderful as they thought. City kids couldn't handle the hardship, and they cried and begged to come back, but it was too late for regrets.
Sigh, it's still early, but I must remember this.
Stopping thinking about those things, Li Chu then noticed that Nurse Wang hadn't arrived yet.
He didn't care. Anyway, he had almost nothing to do. If Nurse Wang didn't want to read in the clinic, she would usually wander around the outpatient hall. As long as you don't get caught by the leaders, you'll be fine.
I was just about to go check the library when I remembered that I hadn't signed in yet. I stood up, washed my hands in the basin, dried them, and sat back down at my desk before I was ready to sign in.
He doesn't sign in as casually as before. If it weren't for the circumstances, he would even like to bathe, change clothes, burn incense, and pray before signing in every day.
He was really scared by the huge amount of data he had just received. If the system sent him any more of those strange and unusual data, he was sure he would go crazy.
After getting ready, Li Chu silently signed in his mind.
"Ding!" Successful check-in, reward: Nine volumes of acupuncture manuals.
"???" Three big question marks popped into his mind.
"What is this? Acupuncture scripture? Is it a sutra chanted by monks, or the acupuncture used in traditional Chinese medicine?" Li Chu muttered.
He opened the warehouse directly, and inside, besides the things he had organized, there were a few books sitting there all alone.
He withdrew from the mental archives, and since there was no one else in the consultation room, he simply took out the books.
The moment Li Chu saw the book, he felt so frustrated he wanted to vomit blood.
Damn it, it would have been much better if you had printed it as an ancient book; at least it would have some collectible value. What's the point of this printed version?
He picked up a book and started reading; the cover read "The Classic of Acupuncture, Volume One." He opened it and carefully examined the contents.
The first few pages are an overview. "Hey," isn't this the Ling Shu, a part of the Huangdi Neijing?
The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic is divided into two parts: one is called Suwen, and the other is Lingshu.
The city library has them; these two books are essential reading for students studying traditional Chinese medicine.
Why give him what he already knows? Li Chu was filled with disappointment.
He felt something was off. He remembered that the Ling Shu in the library should have twenty-four volumes, but this one only had nine volumes. Did they have to give it to him separately?
Since I have nothing else to do, I might as well watch this and treat it as a refresher course.
He put the rest into the warehouse and began to look at the book in his hand.
Before he had even finished reading the overview, Li Chu's expression turned somewhat strange. This was different from what he had learned back then!
He felt that this was the original version from the Western Han Dynasty, while the one in the library seemed to be an adaptation by later generations.
He couldn't say which was better or worse, nor was it something he could judge with his limited knowledge. However, he felt that the acupuncture techniques he had learned from Hua Tuo were more similar to the overview in this book, both being simple and clear.
