Chapter 15
The sea waves surged, and a touch of duck egg yolk rose. Soon the sky was bright, and the golden sand was dazzling. The sunrise on the island always came early. After Qin Yao came to the island, she didn't miss the bed much.
She got up early and packed her things last night. There was nothing much to pack. She was going to attend nurse training. Clothes and daily necessities would be distributed by higher-ups. She just needed to bring someone with her.
Chen Baozhen was reluctant to let Qin Yao go. Qin Yao would be away for training for at least two or three months, and she would have to visit her only once in a while. Even though they were all on the island, she could only see her husband Gao Jianguo and her best friend Qin Yao every few days. It was really unfair!
Qin Yao followed the main force and got a medical examination form in the hospital. When Nurse Ge saw her, she called her aside and said a few words gently: "The training is very hard. The physical training is not as strong as their new recruits, but you also arranged medical classes. Both of you take them together. In addition to being physically tired, there are also mental and cultural hardships. The arrangement is too tight. If you can't bear it, it's okay to quit."
"Doctor He asked me about you yesterday. If you marry Doctor He, you will be a military dependent. When there is a position available, I will arrange an administrative position for you in the hospital..."
When Ge Yunxia said these words, she had already calculated in her heart that Qin Yao could not hold on. There were easier ways, so why bother going through that hardship?
Qin Yao shook her head: "Head Nurse Ge, I will persevere. You can wait to see me in the hospital."
Head Nurse Ge looked surprised.
The young girl in front of him was still plump and fair, but a little thinner than before. Her fair and soft cheeks were lightly pink, and she looked very fair and beautiful.
She was thought to be a spoiled girl who couldn't endure hardship, and would probably cry to her parents if she was tired for a few days. However, the determination and fearlessness in her eyes at this moment made Nurse Ge feel as if she saw a girl riding a horse with high spirits.
This girl came all the way to the island to visit her best friend, wasn't it just to find a good partner? Why are you so focused on your work?
Qin Yao handed in her medical examination report and followed a group of young girls into a large dormitory. The dormitory was as big as a classroom, with more than ten bunk beds connected together, which could accommodate more than thirty people, all of whom were young girls.
There were twenty-six people in their group, and there were a few empty beds left, which were used to store luggage.
Not long after, a serious woman in military uniform came in. She was about 27 or 28 years old. She was their instructor, her surname was Li. She came in and emphasized that nothing should be piled on the empty bed unless it was necessary. All other luggage was locked in another room.
Although they are not female soldiers, they have to undergo the same training as female soldiers for a period of time.
Qin Yao chose the middle upper bunk. The girl sitting next to her was a girl wearing striped clothes with short hair, a diamond-shaped face, a short figure, dark and thin. She took the initiative to greet Qin Yao: "Are you from the island too? You are so white."
"I'm not from the island. I'm from the north."
Qin Yao's skin was too white, and when Zhou Jingjing stretched out her arm and put it together with hers, the color difference was extremely shocking.
"Qin Yao."
"Zhou Jingjing."
The two exchanged names, packed their things, and prepared to go to the cafeteria to eat together.
Zhou Jingjing grew up on the island. Her parents worked as technicians in a rubber plantation. She was a very cheerful girl, the same age as Qin Yao.
"We trained with the female soldiers, and next to us were the male soldiers. Although there was a clear distinction, we could still see that they came from all over the country. I saw quite a few who were tall and handsome..."
Zhou Jingjing whispered to Qin Yao, as an unmarried girl, she couldn't help but pay attention to the handsome boys.
After getting her meal in the cafeteria, Qin Yao met Tian Shuyun, who had also signed up to be a nurse.
When Tian Shuyun saw her, she snorted and didn't say hello.
After dinner, they all received two new sets of clothes, blue and white sailor training suits, blue pants, snow-white tops with blue and white stripes on the sleeves and sides, and hats that were also white on top and blue on the bottom, with brown leather belts, which made them look very energetic when they were put on.
"The clothes are so big and so baggy."
While other girls were lamenting that their clothes were too big, Qin Yao had already put them on silently, putting on a hat, with two braids hanging in front of her chest. She had thin eyebrows, a pair of clear peach blossom eyes, and bright red lips. Wearing such clothes, she had the heroic spirit of a young man, which made people unable to take their eyes away.
"Qin Yao, you, you are so beautiful." Zhou Jingjing stared at her in a daze. The loose and baggy clothes blurred her figure. Qin Yao's cheeks were full and firm, and she was incredibly beautiful.
The other girls in the dormitory also looked at Qin Yao.
“She’s so white.”
"So fat, with such thick arms. Those arms are so white and thick, twice as big as me."
"That's because you're too thin!"
Instructor Li frowned when he saw Qin Yao. It was obvious from her face that she couldn't endure hardship. When the training really began, who knows what kind of trouble might arise, so he had to keep a close eye on her.
The training days were very hard. We had to get up before dawn to do drills, the arduous five kilometers, standing at attention, marching... and then go back indoors to have classes when the sun was at its highest point. We couldn't stay under the scorching sun on the island for too long; it would be fatal.
They also raise pigs and grow vegetables.
After a week, Qin Yao not only lost weight, but her body became firmer, as if she had entered a weight loss training camp. Chen Baozhen came to see her once and gave her a lot of delicious food, which Qin Yao shared with Zhou Jingjing and a few others.
Qin Yao didn't feel it was hard. She planned to grit her teeth and lose weight in the next one or two months so that her weight loss wouldn't seem out of place.
Before, when she was with Chen Baozhen, because she had the golden finger of the favorability system, she ate a lot, but her body was slowly getting thinner, which had aroused suspicion from people around her.
It is comfortable to lose weight with the help of the golden finger, but it is too eye-catching.
"Qin Yao, come this way, let's go watch the male soldiers run."
Zhou Jingjing took Qin Yao out to watch the male soldiers' training. In the evening, half of the setting sun sank into the sea. The male soldiers ran towards the setting sun, with the golden light shining on them, making them as solemn as statues of gods.
These young guys are only about 17 or 18 years old, with buzz cuts. I have to say, they are really pleasing to the eye.
"What are you looking at? Do you also want to be a soldier?" Two female medical staff walked past them with their chins raised, with a bit of pride in their expressions.
It is not easy to join the army these days. You need a quota and a good family background. It is even more difficult to be assigned to the navy.
The training between the female health workers and Qin Yao and other non-staff nurses is different after all.
Their non-staff nursing team is equivalent to temporary workers trained by large hospitals, while the female health workers are formally employed and are assigned to various companies after training.
Therefore, they feel very superior to the nursing team.
Zhou Jingjing wanted to retort, but Qin Yao pulled her back. After the two medical staff left, Zhou Jingjing said in annoyance, "What's there to be proud of?"
"Yeah, we're doing pretty well. They might even envy us."
Zhou Jingjing was stunned: "Ah, why?"
"We will go to work in the military hospital after training, but they don't know where they will be assigned yet." Qin Yao currently has no lofty ambitions. She would like to find a job on the island first, even as a temporary worker. The pay is a little lower, but she has more freedom to come and go.
Zhou Jingjing whispered in her ear: "I heard that their male soldiers' chief instructor is very handsome and has not yet married. I also want to meet the chief instructor."
"They came around here, probably wanting to see the chief instructor as well."
"Do you think we can meet by chance?"
Qin Yao shook her head: "He has become the chief instructor, how old must he be? I don't like mature old men."
Zhou Jingjing: "Don't you think mature men are attractive?"
Qin Yao: "I like to call my sister."
"Oh my god, Qin Yao, how old are you? Calling you sister is really annoying, what a yellow-haired boy."
Qin Yao clicked his tongue: "Look at that big guy running over there, he might be only sixteen or seventeen years old."
A man's age cannot be judged from his appearance, just like a thirteen-year-old boy who went to see a pediatrician after a breakup before she traveled through the book, and after she traveled through the book, she mistook an old man for a young wolfdog.
Comrade Qin Yao refused to admit that she was blind and it was all thanks to the senior actors in Team Gu.
All the good-looking guys have been handed over to the country.
Qin Yao and Zhou Jingjing walked around and saw various young recruits of different heights. There were many handsome ones, but just as Zhou Jingjing said, they were too small, only about 1.8 meters tall, and looked like yellow-haired boys.
He doesn’t have that kind of wolf-dog vibe. If she wants to talk about the best, it has to be the one she saw that day… He fits her ideal type.
Zhou Jingjing: "It would be great if I could meet the chief instructor."
Qin Yao nodded in agreement.
She was indeed curious about what the charming, mature, old man chief instructor they were talking about looked like.
However, when she saw the real person the next day, Qin Yao wanted to lower her hat and stare at her toes.
"Hold your head high, Qin Yao, what's wrong with you?" Instructor Li called her name.
Qin Yao was standing in the girls' line. She was tall and at the back of the team, so she was not noticeable at first. But when Instructor Li called her name, everyone's eyes turned to her more or less.
Qin Yao stood up straight and looked at the man in military uniform in front of her with a desperate look. His stern face was the same as before. Is there anything more embarrassing than meeting a former blind date at this time?
I should have guessed that the so-called chief instructor was him.
Gu Cheng has become accustomed to everyone's eyes on him. Instructor Li was surprised to see him and actively tried to find topics to talk to him. Their non-staff team was not under his jurisdiction, but the training results could not be too embarrassing.
His eyes swept over Qin Yao like a swallow skimming the water. The chubby girl had become thinner and her skin was darker. Even though she had been hiding in the team and looking down at her toes just now, she still looked so bright and outstanding.
Captain Gu was in a good mood. During this period, he couldn't tell exactly what he felt towards this little fat girl. It could be said that he loved and hated her at the same time.
If he says he doesn't like her, why would he be so shameless as to go over to go on a blind date with her? If he says he likes her, he recently had a dream about kicking her into the sea to feed the fishes.
After being fished out, the woman clung to him tightly and said she would never dare to do it again.
Gu Cheng's Adam's apple rolled. He withdrew his gaze, chatted with Instructor Li for a few words, and walked away.
"Qin Yao, the chief instructor is so good-looking and so young. What kind of woman do you think can catch his eye?" The team dispersed, and Zhou Jingjing took Qin Yao to chat under the shade of a tree.
Qin Yao opened her kettle and took a few sips of water to calm herself down.
"He seemed to have looked over here several times just now. Who do you think he was looking at?"
Qin Yao said coldly: "Maybe he is looking at me."
Hey, I meet you again, little spy.
Zhou Jingjing smiled and opened the kettle: "Qin Yao, you are dreaming."
Qin Yao was speechless: "Jingjing, you may not believe it, but I had a blind date with him."
Also called brother.
