Yun Qiao slowly shook her head. "Sister Gao, don't bother. Whether you ask or not, it's next Monday anyway. People will naturally know when they come."
"That's fine." Gao Qian gently squeezed her hand and comforted her again: "Yun Qiao, think positively. You are not alone now. For the sake of the baby in your belly, you can't be upset. Adults' emotions also affect children. If you are upset now, the child will also feel uncomfortable with your belly."
"I know. I'm really not upset." Yun Qiao smiled faintly and explained, "Didn't I just say that being a nurse is much easier than being a doctor? With this kind of salary, who doesn't like a leisurely job?"
Gao Qian heaved a long sigh of relief upon hearing this. "That's good, that's good, Yun Qiao. I'm glad you can get over it. I was just worried that you might say you're relieved, but in reality, you're still feeling uneasy, and you'll be secretly wiping away your tears at home."
"No, it's nothing to worry about." Yun Qiao said with a smile: "This job only pays 18 yuan a month, what's there to fight for? Since she likes it, I'll just give it to her. I'll be relieved."
Yun Qiao didn't want to discuss the matter at work anymore. No matter how much he talked, it wouldn't change the fact that his feelings had been forcibly taken away from him. It still made him feel unhappy when he brought it up, so he changed the subject.
Gao Qian saw that Yun Qiao didn't want to talk about it anymore, so she changed the topic to the children of both families.
Cute children can heal people's mood. When talking about children, Yun Qiao's mood was obviously much better.
But after get off work, Gao Qian lay on the kang at night, and the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.
The resettlement office arranges jobs for military dependents. They usually place them wherever there are vacancies. If there are no vacancies, they have to wait in line. I have never seen anyone force themselves to take up a position when there is no vacancy.
They were doing a good job, but when you came, you squeezed them into other positions. This is really too overbearing.
Gao Qian intuitively felt that such people were difficult to get along with.
So even though Yun Qiao didn't let her inquire, she still asked someone.
The inquiries did not yield any concrete results, as the person had not yet moved into the family quarters.
All that was known was that the new doctor was the young wife of Xie Zhen, the deputy division commander in charge of operations. Xie Zhen lost his wife early in life, and the two had married just after the New Year. They had been married for three months, but had not yet officially moved into the family compound, and no one had yet seen her. All that was known was that she was quite young, almost the same age as Xie Zhen's three children from his deceased first wife, and his eldest son was even slightly older.
"You mean to say that Deputy Commander Xie's eldest son is a little older than her?"
“This…this…”
Gao Qian was dumbfounded. She pondered for a long time, but finally couldn't help but say, "This is too disrespectful to the elderly."
Deputy Division Commander Xie Zhen was an unkempt, rough-mannered man. Ever since his wife died a few years ago, he had devoted all his energy to his work. Now that his children had started families, he was left alone at the base. He had even moved out of the family compound and lived in a single room in a dormitory with the other enlisted men. He relied on his guards to help him with his laundry and meals.
Gao Qian had almost no contact with Deputy Commander Xie. On the rare occasions when they met from a distance, the deputy commander was always dressed very unkemptly.
A widower whose wife has died, he doesn't care about his appearance at all. He is almost 10 years old, so you can imagine what kind of image he has.
Gao Qian simply couldn't imagine how two such people could become husband and wife.
When Gao Qian went to the bathroom to see the new doctor on Monday, her confusion reached its peak.
The new doctor looked to be in her early teens, of medium height and thin. She had a pointed, oval face that was no bigger than a palm, curved willow-shaped eyebrows, slender, small double eyelids, a nose that was neither straight nor flat, and a thin cherry mouth. Although she was not the kind of bright and beautiful woman who would catch people's eyes, she had the delicate appearance of a beautiful girl from a small family.
According to Gao Qian, it would be easy for a girl like this to find a partner in the blind date market. Why would she be so desperate to marry an "old man" who is old enough to be her father?
Gao Qian couldn't figure it out, she really couldn't figure it out.
She stared at Jiang Hua for so long that a hint of hidden displeasure flashed in the other's eyes.
Jiang Hua coughed lightly and reminded him, "Hello? I'm Jiang Hua, the new doctor in the health room. Excuse me, where is my desk?"
Gao Qian came to her senses, realizing her own gaffe. She smiled awkwardly and pointed to the two long tables in the middle of the room. "Right here. Both are fine. You can choose whichever one you want."
"Can I use both tables?" Jiang Hua asked.
"One of them. The other one I share with Doctor Qin...Nurse Qin." Gao Qian explained, "We've always done it this way. The doctor uses a separate table, and the other one is shared by two nurses."
"Okay, I got it." Jiang Hua smiled and thanked Gao Qianyu, then chose the table facing outwards.
The table had been wiped clean. Jiang Hua calmly wiped it with her fingers, and only after making sure there was no dust did she put the backpack she had brought on it.
She didn't start packing her things immediately, but smiled and asked, "What's your name?"
Gao Qian said, "Doctor Jiang, my last name is Gao, and I'm Gao Qian. You can just call me Nurse Gao."
"Okay, Nurse Gao." Jiang Hua asked, "Didn't they say there are two nurses in the bathroom? Where's the other one?"
"You mean Doctor Qin, Nurse Qin..." Gao Qian explained, "Nurse Qin is pregnant. Our military uniform factory gives preferential treatment to pregnant women. When it's cold, they can come to work an hour later in the morning."
As she spoke, she pointed to the wall clock and said, "We usually meet at eight o'clock. It's fine as long as she comes before nine."
Jiang Hua nodded, "Okay, I understand."
Jiang Hua then began to pack her backpack and placed her personal belongings one by one on the long table. As the empty long table completely changed its appearance, Gao Qian gradually felt the reality of having a new boss.
Even though doctors and nurses both earn 18 yuan a month, doctors have the real power to discipline nurses.
It is because Yun Qiao has a good temper that over the past few years, everyone has been able to get along like sisters, with no distinction between superiors and subordinates at all.
It was Cao Yu, the doctor before Yun Qiao came. Even when she was young, she loved to order the nurses around to help her with this and that, pick up the kids, and run errands.
I don't know what kind of personality Jiang Hua has now.
The name is quite poetic and picturesque, and I hope her personality will be like the girls in the Jiangnan water towns, gentle, soft, and easy to get along with.
Although Gao Qian was curious about Jiang Hua's marriage, she would not rashly run over to ask her, "Why did you choose to marry Deputy Commander Xie at such a young age?"
It's true that she is straightforward and she is not stupid. If she really asks like this, it is obvious that she will offend people.
We will have to work together in the future, and we will see each other every day, so we can't offend anyone.
Gao Qian suppressed her curiosity, turned around, took a rag, wet it and started cleaning.
The silent time passed very slowly, and Gao Qian felt a little tormented. She didn't know how to talk to the new doctor.
The new doctor, Dr. Jiang, had a sullen face and looked a bit fierce when she had no expression. She really didn't look like the warm and talkative female doctor. Gao Qian wanted to say something several times, but when she looked up and saw her cold expression, she swallowed it back in an instant.
It’s not necessary to chat today.
Finally it was almost nine o'clock, and Yun Qiao came to the bathroom to work ten minutes early.
