Chapter 174 Knocking on the Door Late at Night
"Okay, okay." Wang Ying happily told Yun Qiao his home address and asked her to come find him when she was free.
Wang Ying's family lived in Yangjiatun, near the Seventh Company. It wasn't far from the Fifth Company, but it wasn't close either. Yun Qiao knew the way, and it took at least twenty or thirty minutes to walk there.
Yun Qiao said embarrassedly: "Master, I am an educated youth. I don't have many holidays at the moment. It may take a long time before I can see you."
"It's okay. Just come to the village and find me when you have time. You have few holidays, and I don't have much free time either. As long as you come, I will find time to teach you."
Facing Yun Qiao's puzzled gaze, Wang Ying explained, "Health guards in the countryside don't have to leave their jobs, so they have to go to work every day."
As soon as Yun Qiao heard this, he understood why Wang Ying was in a hurry to find someone to take over.
The delivery workers who do not leave their jobs have to go to work and deliver goods day and night. People who are over 80 years old really cannot bear it.
Yun Qiao sincerely felt sorry for her: "Master, you have suffered a lot."
"Of course not. It's very hard." Wang Ying sighed. "Women don't choose when to give birth. They go at the drop of a hat, no matter if it's day or night, or in the freezing cold, or windy or snowy. No matter what the delivery person is doing, as soon as they call you, you have to go immediately. You can't say no. I've endured these days and nights until now. I've had enough."
At this point, Wang Ying couldn't help but give her a few more words of advice: "Xiao Ye, you must study hard and try to learn how to take care of the baby as soon as possible so that I can retire soon."
Yun Qiao smiled and agreed: "I will definitely study hard."
Wang Ying said, "Xiao Ye, I've saved quite a few notes these days. Bring a few back to read later and master the theoretical knowledge first."
Yun Qiao let out a crisp "ah" and nodded in agreement.
Old Mrs. Liu quickly prepared the meal and came out to invite the two of them to eat.
Dinner was a simple, homely meal: steamed buns made from three-grain flour, heated in a pot, served with scrambled eggs with green peppers and a porridge made from a mixture of rice and millet. The taste was surprisingly good. Just from this simple dish, it was clear that Mrs. Liu was a skilled cook.
After dinner, Wang Ying returned to the room to check on Wu Zhaodi and the child. Confirming that both were alright, she pulled a "receptionist's certificate booklet" from her bag, flipped it open, and filled in the details of both the adult and the child on blue carbon paper. A page printed out from the carbon paper, and Wang Ying stamped both pages with her personal seal.
The original document was kept as a copy and submitted to the Public Health Bureau for archiving. Wang Ying tore off the copied page and handed it to Liu Dayong, saying, "Go to the Public Health Bureau in a week to get the certificate. After that, you can register your household registration. You know what to do now, right?"
Liu Dayong nodded hurriedly: "Zhiyou, Zhiyou, I was the one who registered Dani and Erni."
Wang Ying nodded to show that he understood.
Liu Dayong folded the pick-up certificate and put it in his pocket, then took out two yuan as a pick-up fee and gave it to Wang Ying.
Yun Qiao also received fifty cents as a reward for his hard work.
At this point, Wang Ying's reception work was completely over. She exchanged a few words with Yun Qiao, reminded her to remember to look for her in Yangjiatun, and then asked Liu Dayong to take her back by bicycle.
Yun Qiao waved goodbye to Wang Ying at the door of Liu's house. After watching her leave, he carried his medical kit and left Liu's house.
The road was dark at night. Old Mrs. Liu came up with a lantern from the kitchen and said she wanted to give her a gift.
Yun Qiao quickly waved his hand to refuse.
She didn't dare ask Old Lady Liu to send her off. She was already sixty years old and couldn't see clearly where she was stepping when walking at night. If she slipped and fell, it would be no joke.
Yun Qiao refused to let her go, and Old Lady Liu didn't insist. However, she handed the lantern to Yun Qiao and asked her to use it to light the way, as the road was pitch black and she couldn't see anything.
Yun Qiao accepted Mrs. Liu's kindness and said that she would return the lantern tomorrow, then she went back to her hometown with the lantern.
With the help of the lantern, Yun Qiao returned to the brigade headquarters smoothly.
It was already late at night, and the lights in the rows of houses in front and behind the brigade headquarters were all off.
The neighbors around were all asleep, so Yun Qiao returned to the bathroom, washed up simply, wiped his body, washed his feet, and lay down to rest.
Today was Yun Qiao's first time participating in a pick-up. He was tense throughout the whole process. Only when he lay on the bed and relaxed did he feel extremely tired all over.
