"Can you do it?"
"If you can't do it, ask your leader to come."
People tend to bully the weak and fear the strong. When Yun Qiao became tough, the cadre from the resettlement office softened and became much more polite.
"Wait a moment, I'll go ask my leader."
"Okay, go and ask for instructions." Yun Qiao took a deep breath, turned around and sat down on the waiting bench in the hall.
About ten minutes later, the resettlement office cadre finally came over after asking for instructions.
She walked up to Yun Qiao, her face a little unnatural as she said, "Qin Qizhi, I asked our leader for you, and he said he can approve your resignation application. But he hopes you can stick with it for another week."
"After all, the clinic can't be without a doctor. Our leaders have contacted other doctors to see if anyone is willing to take over your position. So, this week... I'll have to trouble you to persevere a little longer."
"Are you sure it's only a week? Or is this just an excuse you guys use to keep me here?" Yun Qiao asked her, "What if there's still no new doctor after a week? Should I leave or not?"
The resettlement office official quickly assured him, "Don't worry. Our leader said it's only for this week. Regardless of whether a new doctor comes in a week or not, we'll sign for you."
"Okay, I'll trust you again."
Yun Qiao left the Military Family Resettlement Office in a huff. The officer behind her breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she had stopped making a fuss.
When Yun Qiao arrived home, Feng Juan was tidying up the clothes in the closet.
This time, she and Yuanyuan were also going to the capital with Yunqiao and the others.
Qin Lang and Qin Shuo are both grown up, and it is no longer time for them to be dependent on others. Qin Lang will be able to go to primary school soon, and Qin Shuo will be old enough to attend the red education class in September. The children go to and from school in the family compound, and there is no one to pick them up. At that time, Yan Jingwan only needs to hire a nanny to cook and wash clothes for the children at home.
This time, letting Feng Juan go to the capital with Yun Qiao was actually the idea of Yan Jingwan and Qin Zheng. After all, she was just their stepmother and stepmother-in-law.
Their biological daughters have all gone to Beijing, so how could they feel comfortable leaving her alone in Northeast China to look after their children?
Seeing Yun Qiao coming over, Feng Juan put down the clothes she was folding and asked, "Did you manage to quit this time?"
Yun Qiao shook his head. "No. The resettlement office couldn't find a doctor to replace me, so they told me to hold on for another week."
"Is it accurate?" Feng Juan frowned. "Don't let me stop you from leaving."
"At worst, I can just leave." Yun Qiao said.
Feng Juan said worriedly, "Won't this affect your file?"
"No." Yun Qiao said, "I'm a military dependent. I came here to follow Tingjun to the army. By the time Tingjun's files are transferred, they won't have any legitimate reason to force me to stay."
"That's good." Feng Juan breathed a sigh of relief. "It's the last week, so let's just leave after this week."
"Um."
So Yun Qiao went to the clinic and continued his last week of work.
Gao Qian was particularly reluctant to let Yun Qiao go when she learned that he would be leaving in a week. She loved to stick with Yun Qiao and talk to him whenever she had nothing to do.
Time passed quickly day by day, and the last day of the appointment soon arrived during the days when the base was in a state of panic.
Yun Qiao came to the resettlement office early with her ID. A few days ago, the cadre saw that she looked a little panicked.
Yun Qiao's heart sank suddenly, thinking that he was going to change his mind again.
Seeing Yun Qiao's expression was off, the cadre quickly explained, "Qin Qizhi, don't worry. We've already found your replacement doctor. She's on her way to the base now and will be there by noon. She'll meet you this afternoon and won't delay you."
Yun Qiao nodded and said, "Okay, then you can handle my resignation procedures for me now, otherwise I will have to make a second trip later."
"good."
After successfully obtaining the approval letter for his resignation and also having his military household registration transfer certificate stamped with a red seal, Yun Qiao walked out of the Family Resettlement Office and breathed a sigh of relief.
It's finally over.
In the afternoon, the new doctor who came to take over her job arrived at the clinic on time.
The new doctor was in her thirties, slightly plump, with neat short hair. Since they would not have any contact in the future, Yun Qiao simply exchanged names with her and learned that her name was Fang, that was all.
After finishing the work, Yun Qiao left the clinic directly.
Anyway, the resignation procedure has been completed. Strictly speaking, she is no longer a member of the clinic and no one can control her.
When I got home, He Tingjun was wiping the washing machine in the yard.
They were about to leave the family compound, and they couldn't take large items like a washing machine with them, nor was there any need to take them with them, because Qin Lin's family in Beijing already had a washing machine.
So some of the big items in the house were given to Qin Zheng. Qin Zheng had some things at home that he didn't want, and basically they were all resold by He Tingjun at a very favorable price, which could be regarded as a part of the loss.
Now the house is mostly empty, with only some worthless bottles and jars left, which Yun Qiao plans to give to the neighbors when he leaves.
Yun Qiao walked into the yard. He Tingjun looked up at her and said with a smile, "Is everything done?"
Yun Qiao shook the item in his hand and said, "Well, I'm completely free now. I can leave anytime."
He Tingjun put down the rag in his hand, clapped his hands, and said, "Then let's leave for Beijing the day after tomorrow?"
Yun Qiao nodded: "Okay."
The day before leaving, Yun Qiao and his wife took their children to Qin Zheng's house to have their last meal in the Great Northern Wilderness.
At the dinner table, no one drank alcohol, but they all seemed drunk and reluctant to leave.
Yun Qiao was also reluctant.
She has lived in the family compound for six years and has developed feelings for this place.
No matter how reluctant you are, you still have to move forward when the time comes.
Yun Qiao held Yan Jingwan's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, we will wait for you in the capital."
"good."
The next morning, Yun Qiao and his family got up early before dawn.
Qin Zheng took a special leave and borrowed a jeep from the army to take them to the commune's railway station.
Yan Jingwan stood outside the alley with her two children and waved to them. Yun Qiao said goodbye to her with red eyes, and the children also burst into tears through the car windows.
The jeep started slowly, leaving the people behind far behind.
Along the way, Yun Qiao looked at the green swamp and barren meadow outside, his heart filled with emotion.
I once thought that life in the Great Northern Wilderness would be very hard and long, but now it is really coming to an end.
Goodbye, Great Northern Wilderness.
Goodbye, her youth.
