Chapter 24 Leave
In the next two weekends, Qin Ju went home early to see Teacher Chen first, thinking about the medicine she had to send to the county hospital. After taking the medicine she prescribed, Mr. Chen felt that his palpitations and chest pains had improved a lot. He had not experienced such changes for many years, so when Zhao Qingsong suggested going to Lenghe Town several times, he refused.
He wanted to see to what extent Xiao Qin could cure his illness.
During the day, Qin Ju did not sleep in. She got up early and took her elder sister to the mountain to collect herbs. She needed to teach her elder sister to recognize herbs as soon as possible. If her schoolwork became more stressful in the future, she might not have time to go home for the weekend.
The weather in the summer is very good. There has been plenty of rain this year, and many herbs on the mountain are growing well. Some are ready to be picked. Qin Jiao plans to pick more while he is not busy.
"Laidi, look, is this the Eucommia you mentioned?"
"Oh, this looks like Angelica sinensis, we can dig it up!"
"And this one, it's chicken blood vine!"
Qin Jue watched her elder sister searching like a child for treasure, sometimes exclaiming in amazement, sometimes jumping for joy, and her mood improved. Soon the two sisters had found two back baskets full of herbs.
When we were going down the mountain, the sun had not yet risen to the sky. The members we met all knew that they were going to look for herbal medicine and did not ask too many questions. After all, if they had gone to see a doctor, Lai Di would have given them these herbs almost for free.
There were even kind-hearted old ladies and grandfathers who would give them some sweet potatoes and potatoes, saying, "You have many sisters in your family, take some home and roast them."
Qin Ailan hadn't felt the care between people for a long time. During the years she lived in the steel plant compound, the Liu family didn't know how to behave and were not on good terms with most of their neighbors. No one was willing to associate with them, let alone give them food and drink.
"Don't worry too much, big sister. The most important thing now is to take good care of your body. Your milk is still waiting for you to take care of it."
The sense of responsibility and mission made the eldest daughter straighten her spine, "Okay, I promise not to think about anything else. I just want you to live a good life now."
As the two sisters were talking, they just walked to the door of their house and bumped into Liu Baozhu who just came out of the next yard. "Hey, Lai Di, you guys are back. Thank you so much for that day. Teacher Chen is much better now. I wanted to thank you very much, but our Qingsong was worried, so we took him to the county to see a doctor... After all, you are just a veterinarian."
"Yes, I specialize in cases like yours."
Liu Baozhu was stunned for a moment, then realized that the other party was calling her a beast, "You!"
Qin Ju didn't even look at her, closed the door, and released the rabbit.
She was in a good mood today because she had just received a call from He Liansheng, who was about to be transferred to Shilan Province and the two of them were about to end their separation. How could she not be happy?
*
After waiting for a long time, one day, just after the class, when I was about to go to the cafeteria, Secretary Liu suddenly walked into the classroom with a thick stack of test papers - a sudden exam!
Everyone was shocked. Didn't they say that they would move on to clinical practice after the theoretical training? Why was there suddenly another exam? Would this exam also screen out some people with poor grades? If they were expelled from the training class, they would be too ashamed to face anyone when they returned home.
Therefore, even if one has some basic knowledge, one dare not be careless. As long as there is a blank space on the test paper, one can write a few more words. What if one accidentally comes across the correct answer?
When the two hours were up, regardless of whether the work had been finished or not, Officer Liu ordered everyone to stop writing. If anyone continued to write, they would be expelled if the situation was serious. Everyone put down their pens in fear and watched helplessly as their papers, which were only two-thirds completed, were taken away.
"I had two hours to do so many questions. I didn't even have time to guess the answers to the ones I wasn't sure of... wuwu..."
"I haven't had time to answer the last two short-answer questions yet, what should I do?"
"It's over, it's over. I'm definitely not going to pass."
“…”
Qin Ju had tutored Zhao Haiyang and his sister with homework throughout his life. He had a lot of experience with the examination aspect of the exam-oriented education system and knew how to allocate time to improve efficiency. Therefore, in the same amount of time, he not only finished all the questions, but also checked them carefully.
Seeing how calm and composed she was, everyone guessed that she would be as confident of winning as last time. Some girls bravely compared their answers with her. If they got it right, they cheered for joy, and if they didn't, they looked worried. For a while, the classroom was very lively.
"Okay, be quiet. We will organize people to grade the papers tonight, and the results will be announced tomorrow morning. Now everyone bring pens and papers, divide into groups according to the list below, and go to the classroom."
Everyone didn't understand why, but they still followed according to the groups.
"What should I do, Qin Jue? I will definitely not pass the theory test... wuwu..." my deskmate cried.
What made her even more desperate was that not long after, the groups that had gone out first came back and told everyone a bad news - it turned out that this was the second exam, and the focus of the exam was the four diagnosis of traditional Chinese medicine.
The teacher pretended to be a patient and simulated the scene of seeing a doctor, starting from the moment the "patient" stepped into the clinic. Many trainees had never been to an outpatient clinic before, so how could they understand these things? Some of them gave the "patient" an injection as soon as he came, some asked him to go for examinations, and some did not send the patient away. They had no idea about the four examinations and were so confused that they got a failing grade on the spot.
More importantly, each person is tested on different questions. Some complain of dizziness, some complain of abdominal pain, and some complain of nausea. Even if you want to copy the questions, you can't do that.
"So, when you go in, first ask the patient where they feel uncomfortable, then ask how long the discomfort has lasted, where they have been to see a doctor, what medicines they have taken, what tests they have done. These are the present medical history, and then ask about the past medical history. Follow our "Ten Questions Song", do you remember?"
My deskmate nodded quickly, "Remember, you asked me to recite it last time."
"Remember to cooperate with pulse taking and visual examination during the process, these two are the most important." Many trainees only focus on asking about medical history and forget the essence of traditional Chinese medicine.
"After everything is done, we can make a diagnosis. The principles of diagnosis are nothing more than the eight principles, internal organs, meridians and causes of disease..."
She was originally just whispering to her deskmate, but everyone was so nervous that no one spoke, and many people subconsciously pricked up their ears... As she spoke, the originally nervous students gradually calmed down, and when she finished, they were still not satisfied.
"Wow, Qin Ju, what you said is the same as what the teacher said!"
"It's different too. Qin Jue's explanation is more systematic and specific."
"Oh, yes, I didn't understand what the teacher said, but I understood everything Qin Ju said." Every word was said by the teacher, but they couldn't connect them. At this time, Qin Ju was like stringing together scattered beads one by one, gradually forming an exquisite necklace.
Qin Ju smiled. She never thought that she had a talent for being a teacher. Was this a "blessing" after being nearly driven crazy by tutoring homework in her previous life?
Soon, my deskmate's group went in and came out ten minutes later. Everyone no longer looked as depressed as the previous groups. At least my deskmate got 70 points, which was far beyond expectations.
"I was so nervous that I just remembered what Qin Ju said and followed her steps. I actually got 65 points!"
"Oh, me too. The teacher said that although my diagnosis was wrong, the process was very standard and gave me 30 points!"
Everyone now looked at Qin Ju as if she were their savior and no longer doubted her entrance exam results.
After a while, it was Qin Ju's group's turn to go in, and the simulated "patient" in front of her turned out to be Director Zhang of the Health Bureau!
When Director Zhang saw that she was about to say hello, he spoke first: "Doctor, I have chest tightness recently. Can you take a look at what medicine I should take?"
Qin Jue got into the state in a second, "Let me check your pulse first."
She placed her hand on Director Zhang's radial artery and began routine questioning based on the pulse. Because the patient was a simulated one, the symptoms could be made up, but the pulse was real and fine. The pulse was just a formality, and the focus was still on the questioning. Based on the symptoms described by the other party... this was clearly exactly the same as Mr. Chen's condition.
Although Qin Jue felt strange, he still said in a proper manner: "You have chest pain."
Director Zhang was very satisfied. "Can you explain it to me, doctor?"
"Xiongbi is a disease name in traditional Chinese medicine, and in Western medicine it is heart disease. It is a disease with chest tightness, chest pain, palpitations, and difficulty breathing as the main symptoms. It is often triggered by factors such as weather, emotions, diet, and fatigue. According to your description, your condition is qi stagnation and blood stasis, and the heart vessels are blocked. The treatment method is mainly to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, promote qi circulation and relieve pain. Do you think I am right?"
Director Zhang narrowed his eyes and asked, "What if I ask you to prescribe a prescription?"
Qin Ju was stunned. The groups in front didn't ask for any prescriptions. They just needed to diagnose the disease and symptoms.
But Director Zhang had no intention of explaining, and she didn't want to ask. She took the letterhead he handed her and began to write: Stir-fried Zhishi 12g, Xiebai 12g, Guizhi 10g...
Three minutes later, Director Zhang looked at the prescription she wrote, and was too stunned to speak. After a long while, he murmured, "Zhang Zhongjing's Zhishi Xiebai Guizhi Decoction?"
The teacher has never taught this prescription, because it is a classic prescription that appears in the "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" by the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing. The current teaching focuses on common basic prescriptions. The key is to learn this prescription. Even in a regular medical school, you have to be a third or fourth year university student!
“Did you teach yourself?”
Qin Ju nodded, then shook his head, "My master highly praised classical prescriptions. My first lesson was to recite the Treatise on Cold and Febrile Diseases."
Director Zhang concealed his inner surprise, or even shock. It seemed that this little girl had profound classical skills, which was exactly the original intention that most Chinese medicine practitioners in this era were about to lose - and this was the reason why her prescription could work for Mr. Chen's long-standing heart disease.
When he received the call from the provincial government, he thought they had made a mistake. There was a student named Qin Ju at the grassroots level, but she was not even a barefoot doctor. He found it unbelievable that the higher-ups wanted him to hire her. He only knew that she had a good theoretical foundation and performed very well in the entrance examination, even too well. She had always been a key person for him to observe.
But I didn't expect that she is not only strong in theory, but also stronger in clinical practice.
That's why he planned today's event. He wanted to see if Qin Jue had real skills and if there were any experts behind those prescriptions.
He looked at Fangzi and said "OK" three times in a row, "You can go back to the classroom first."
As soon as she left, Officer Liu, who was in charge of recording the scores, asked, "Director Zhang, how would you rate this student?"
"90 points."
Officer Liu was shocked. You know, among these simulated "patients", Director Zhang was the most severe, with a serious expression and a stern face. The timid female students were directly scared to tears. He was even more ruthless when grading. Right was right and wrong was wrong. He not only tested the students' professional ability, but also regarded their attitude towards "patients" as an important scoring point. He had just tested more than a dozen candidates, and his highest score was only 60 points, barely passing... Qin Ju actually got 90 points from him!
What kind of concept is this? Qin Ju is really amazing. He can get a place in the director's heart. Then it won't be a problem for him to work in the county hospital in the future? Then he must make good connections as soon as possible. In case his relatives and friends need medical treatment in the future, there will be someone to arrange it, right?
"Let me take a look at the internship assignment list."
Officer Liu thought to himself, here it comes, let's see, the director will definitely select Qin Ju to go to the county hospital.
After the exam, internship hospitals were assigned based on the ranking of comprehensive scores. This was the instruction from the superiors. Everyone knew that if you could be assigned to a county hospital at this time, you would have a higher chance of staying there if you performed well. But... wait, why did Director Zhang mark Qin Ju's name? !
"Director Zhang, what is this..." he asked weakly.
Director Zhang smiled faintly, "This exam is for the entire province. Qin Jue performed well and ranked in the top ten in the province. He will definitely not stay in the county."
Not only that, it is said that her assignment this time is to cooperate with her husband's job transfer, and at this time, their small health bureau has no right to object. Personally speaking, such an excellent Chinese medicine worker should go to a better platform.

Just as Qin Ju was patiently waiting for the assignment news, Chen Bohan once again walked into the Qin family's door.
Qin Guihua's face was not very happy. Was this old man here to eat for free again? He had a keen sense of smell and knew that they would prepare delicious food when the third brother came back today.
"You don't have to be so rude to me. I came here today to discuss something with you. I'm going to take your granddaughter away."
“Take…take away?”
"I'm going to be transferred back to the provincial capital soon, Ailan must go with me."
Qin Guihua's eyes widened, and she put her hands on her hips, "On what basis?"
"Because I can't cook and I'm busy with work, someone needs to take care of me." Because your Ailan needs to see a wider world.
Qin Guihua became even angrier, "Bah, isn't this just a nanny? You're dreaming. You want to eat and live in my house and even kidnap my granddaughter to be a nanny. You..." This is too much.
"I'll pay you."
Qin Guihua's temper immediately went downhill. "How much?"
"25."
Qin Guihua and her three grandchildren can only get 60 yuan a year, and Ailan only earns 25 yuan a month. Is this such a good thing?
Qin Ju was also surprised. He looked at his elder sister and saw that she was not surprised at all. He guessed that she had known about it for a long time.
She didn't think it was shameful to be a nanny. In the 1980s, it was quite respectable to be a nanny in the city. After all, you had to work hard to make a living and didn't steal or rob. Besides, being a nanny for Mr. Chen was something most people wouldn't even dare to think about.
As for the difference between men and women, Mr. Chen is such an old man, and he has a bright and handsome life. Anyone who thinks in that way is a despicable person.
Qin Ju quickly pulled her grandmother aside and said, "Grandma, let me go. Having a job is better than farming at home. Besides, Teacher Chen doesn't look like an ordinary person. Maybe he will be my destiny in the future."
She knew what her grandmother was thinking. Back then, she took turns sending the three sisters to Old Man He to deliver food and water. Wasn't it all for the sake of having a good future?
Sure enough, Qin Guihua's eyes rolled, and she immediately changed her tone and said to Chen Bohan: "You can't deceive us country folk. We are not as cunning as you, but I, Qin Guihua, am not a pushover either."
Chen Bohan was speechless. There was really nothing to say to this old woman. "Go and type the introduction letter now. The employment letter has already been sent. How can it deceive you with a red seal?"
In fact, he did not want to take Ailan away on a whim. He had no children, and the villagers were afraid of being implicated by him. Only the gentle and kind Ailan always cared about him and even the meals she cooked were to his taste. If a girl like this stayed in the countryside, she would definitely be married off within two years and live a life of misery. But if she followed him to the provincial capital, he would not force her to get married.
He has always felt that the destiny of lesbians is not to get married.
Even if Ailan wanted to get married, there were many good men in the provincial capital. Wouldn't a few of them be better than those in the village?
Don't think he doesn't know how many people in the village are eyeing Ai Lan. He's not blind!
"Then you won't stop my granddaughter from coming back to see me when we go to the provincial capital, right? It's her first time going away from home, how about I go with her to see her?"
"You won't starve my granddaughter, will you? She's shy and would be too embarrassed to tell me if she's hungry."
"You won't beat or scold my granddaughter, will you? I'm warning you..."
Chen Bohan was speechless. "Okay, okay, okay. No, no, hurry up and pack your things. We'll leave in a few days."
"You go too."
Qin Guihua was stunned, "What is my old lady doing?"
Chen Bohan looked at Qin Ju, who had been silent, and asked, "You haven't received the notice yet?"
Qin Ju's eyes lit up, and she remembered the call that Secretary Liu made to her at noon - her internship hospital was not in Hongxing County, but in the health room of Factory 412.
Although it sounds bad to say the name of the health room, in fact, 412 is a large state-owned factory directly under the ministry, and the level of the factory hospital is higher than that of the commune health hospital.
That was where she had lived for most of her life.
There, Lao He is waiting for her, and they will start a new life there.
Qin Ju's eyes were firm, "Grandma, pack your bags, let's go."
Leave this not-so-nice place and go to Lenghe Town.
