Chapter 237
Upon hearing this, not only the people in the queue, but even the comrades holding the registration forms were stunned.
If he saw it correctly, Nurse Xia had just talked to this female comrade.
Doesn't she know that nurses are paid better?
Being a barefoot doctor is a tiring job.
"Comrade, are you sure?"
The HR comrades thought Tang Wan would change her mind, but unexpectedly she nodded firmly.
"Sure."
"Okay, fill it out and give it to the corresponding comrade later."
The HR comrade had no choice but to hand Tang Wan an application form. She took it and squatted beside it to write on it.
Many people didn't bring pens, so they all used the unified pens here and had to queue up.
Fortunately, Tang Wan was well prepared and took out a pen to start writing.
She thought about it carefully and decided that if she wanted to make progress in medicine, she had to get closer to patients at the grassroots level.
In particular, she is more proficient in traditional Chinese medicine, and it is obvious that barefoot doctors use more folk remedies.
Thinking of this, Tang Wan quickly wrote down the registration form. Just as she was about to hand it in, a beautiful female lesbian stood in front of her and whispered:
"Comrade, can I borrow your pen to write something?"
"I'm sorry, I have something else to do. You can wait in line."
Tang Wan's cold and ruthless refusal was not because she was heartless, but because there were so many people waiting for the pen.
If she lends one, it's like lending it to countless people.
As the pen is passed around, I don’t know when I can return it to her.
It’s not like these people don’t have pens to fill out forms.
"Stingy."
The lesbian who spoke had a pretty face but a somewhat harsh voice, "If I hadn't forgotten to bring it, I wouldn't have lent it to you."
"Oh, then remember to bring it next time."
Tang Wan confirmed the time to take the exam, submitted the registration form and left, not caring what these people thought.
She wanted to go to Mr. Xu for help.
When I rode my bike to Mr. Xu's place, he was clumsily mending his pants.
The aunt was not in her right mind and had no memory of these delicate tasks, so the master had to do everything himself.
"Master, I'll help you."
Although Tang Wan's needlework skills are average, she can do such a small job.
"Luckily you're here, girl."
Master Xu watched as Tang Wan fixed the crooked stitches he had made neatly in just a few seconds.
The man who always did whatever he wanted wiped away his tears.
When his wife was doing well in the past, he didn't need to do this.
"Master, if it's inconvenient for you to tell me at any time in the future, I will help you."
Tang Wan also felt sorry for Grandpa and Auntie. This was not just one piece of clothing, but several sets of clothes for both Grandpa and Auntie.
However, Tang Wan's hands were quick and she finished sewing all the stitches in no time. When she looked up, she saw Mr. Xu making her a cup of sugar water.
"Drink some water to moisten your throat."
"Master, I have something to discuss with you."
Now the only person around Tang Wan who knows medicine is Master Xu, as her father, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, is far away.
It's too late to discuss things after receiving this letter, so she will call and ask later.
"What's the matter? Tell me and I'll help you with some reference."
Mr. Xu sat up straighter, looking like he was listening attentively, and Tang Wan then told him her purpose.
"Master, what do you think of being a barefoot doctor?"
"You want to take the test?"
Mr. Xu immediately understood what Tang Wan meant, "Have you solved the problem of your family's background?"
"Nowadays, wearing a red hat is basically no problem."
Tang Wan was moved because of this consideration. If her parents were in the brigade before, she would not even dare to think about it.
“The conditions there are tough.”
Mr. Xu sighed. Actually, some old friends recommended this path to him, but he had to take care of his wife and his health couldn't take it.
I am even more afraid of causing trouble to my old friends.
"I know, but if I work as a nurse in a military hospital, I'll be a nurse my whole life."
Tang Wan knew that she could still take the college entrance examination, but if she was limited by the nature of a nurse's job at that time, she might never be able to get out of it.
“If you go to the grassroots level, you will indeed make more progress, but that means no one will help you.”
Mr. Xu described the current situation of the barefoot doctors, "There is no one to discuss with in case of emergencies.
Moreover, some members of the brigade have low levels of education, and if they meet someone unreasonable, they will definitely scold you.
What would you do if you, a female comrade, were bullied by the people in the team? "
This is what Xia Qing didn't say just now. What should Tang Wan do if she encounters someone who is unreasonable and she is unfamiliar with the place?
"As long as I can save the people in the brigade, I believe that no member of the brigade will dare to let them bully me for their own lives."
Tang Wan had the confidence to protect herself, and seeing her firm tone, Mr. Xu was so angry that he laughed.
"You've already made your decision, why are you still coming to me to discuss this?"
"Master, don't be angry. I just can't make up my mind."
Tang Wan giggled foolishly, and Mr. Xu was helpless and took out another notebook from under the table.
"Okay, take it. If you don't understand, come and ask me."
I really owe her that.
"Thank you, Grandpa!"
Tang Wan held his notes as if they were a treasure, "Don't worry, Master, I will train a powerful disciple.
I will have to go back to a big hospital, and then I won’t be a nurse anymore.”
When she takes the college entrance examination, she will get a medical qualification certificate.
"Okay, I'll wait."
Mr. Xu snorted lightly, and although he said he disliked Tang Wan, he actually still trusted her very much.
This child is of good character.
Tang Wan hurriedly put her books and notes into her schoolbag and then went to the post office.
I dialed Tang Shi's unit, and soon someone asked Tang Shi to call back.
"dad."
Tang Wan got straight to the point and saved the topic, "I plan to take the exam to become a barefoot doctor. Do you agree?"
"Can you do what you have learned?"
Tang Shi’s concerns were similar to those of Master Xu. Tang Wan said succinctly, “We will provide training if you pass the exam.
If you have any questions, you can take care of them. I will ask you later.
Besides, I don’t know if I can pass the exam yet. Let me tell you first, the phone bill is expensive, that’s all.”
"Hey, hey, girl, daddy hasn't finished talking yet."
Tang Shi said hurriedly: "If you pass the exam to become a barefoot doctor, what will happen to the children?
You have more than one child in your family. Can your mother-in-law take care of Xiaoheng and Yaoer alone?"
"I looked at the announcement and it's not so soon. It seems that I need three to five months of training."
Tang Wan paused for a few seconds and said, "And it's assigned to a nearby brigade. If I'm assigned to a brigade near the compound, I can go back and sleep at night."
"My dear, go back and have a good talk with Huai Jing. You are husband and wife now, so you should consider each other's opinions on everything."
Tang Shi reminded Tang Wan of this before she hung up the phone. Tang Wan pondered for a few seconds and felt that what she said made sense.
After returning home, Wang Dani was busy washing diapers for the children, and Tang Wan felt regretful for a moment.
It seems she shouldn't be so impulsive.
But...it's still 71 years now.
It will take another five or six years before the college entrance examination is resumed, and she doesn't want to waste time.
During dinner in the evening, Lu Huaijing noticed the hesitation in her expression and asked her with concern.
"Wife, what are you thinking about?"
