Lin Yuexi was slightly stunned, and then a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Deputy Secretary Li, what are you saying... is there any news?"
Deputy Secretary Li smiled, put down his teacup, leaned forward slightly, and said excitedly: "To be honest, I was at a meeting in the county a few days ago, and talked about you with several leaders of the health system.
They have heard about your experience and hard work, and are very interested in your desire to obtain a medical qualification certificate.
The county hospital is currently short of staff, especially people like you who have both practical experience and a passion for learning. As long as you successfully obtain the qualification certificate, they welcome you to work in the county hospital. ”
Lu Cheng's eyes widened when he heard this, and he looked at Lin Yuexi in surprise: "Yuexi, this is a rare opportunity!"
Seeing Lu Cheng's surprised expression, Lin Yuexi found it a little funny and said modestly: "Deputy Secretary Li, you have too high expectations of me. It's just that I am worried that I am not capable enough and I am afraid that I will not be able to handle the work of the county hospital..."
Deputy Secretary Li waved his hand and said, "Yuexi, don't underestimate yourself. Your ability to treat the villagers in the village is obvious to all, and your enthusiasm for self-study is also admirable. With your medical skills, you can achieve great things in Beijing..."
Although Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun didn't fully understand what the adults were talking about, they cheered when they saw their mother was so happy: "Mom is going to work in a big hospital, Mom is so awesome!"
Lin Yuexi looked at the children's innocent smiling faces, her heart filled with warmth and motivation. She took a deep breath and said firmly: "Deputy Secretary Li, thank you so much. I will do my best and live up to your expectations of me."
Deputy Secretary Li said, "Comrade Yuexi, you are too modest. It is an honor for our county that you can stay here."
Lin Yuexi quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Deputy Secretary Li, this is your first time visiting my home this year, so please stay for dinner!"
After saying that, he rushed into the kitchen. Lu Cheng followed him in but was driven out by Lin Yuexi.
"Lu Cheng, go and accompany Deputy Secretary Li, and leave the cooking to me!"
Lu Cheng had no choice but to retreat.
In fact, Lin Yuexi didn't want Lu Cheng to enter the kitchen because she felt that with Lu Cheng around, she would be too timid to go to the space to get things and cook properly. Besides, Deputy Secretary Li couldn't be alone!
After all, I should find someone to cook. Otherwise, if Lu Cheng goes to the army, who will take care of the two children at home?
Lu Cheng returned to the living room and chatted with Deputy Secretary Li. Deputy Secretary Li looked around the house and said with emotion, "Lu Cheng, your little home is so cozy and tidy. Yuexi is really a good housekeeper."
Lu Cheng's face was filled with a proud smile, and he nodded in response: "Yes, Yuexi has contributed too much to this family. I am in the army and cannot always be with her. All the big and small things at home are handled by her alone."
At this time, there were sounds of pots and pans colliding from the kitchen, and the air was filled with the smell of fireworks.
Lin Yuexi was busy in the kitchen. She used her mind to fish out a big, lively carp from the spatial pond, and the pork belly...
I also picked fresh green vegetables from the farm.
She handled the ingredients skillfully, thinking in her heart that she must let Deputy Secretary Li taste her cooking skills.
In the living room, Lu Cheng and Deputy Secretary Li had a pleasant conversation, and the topic gradually extended from family matters to the development prospects of the county.
At this time, Lin Yuexi had finished cooking most of the dishes in the kitchen.
She put the braised carp on a plate, carefully prepared a sauce, and poured it evenly on the fish. The fish instantly became bright red and smelled fragrant.
Then, she quickly prepared a plate of winter bamboo shoots and pork belly, stir-fried green vegetables, and made a plate of fragrant tofu...
Lin Yuexi took off her apron and walked out of the kitchen carrying two plates of food. "Deputy Secretary Li, Lu Cheng, try the food I cooked."
Smiling, she placed braised carp and stir-fried pork belly with bamboo shoots on the dining table, then returned to the kitchen and brought back a few plates of steaming home-cooked dishes, including pan-fried tofu, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and winter melon and pork ribs soup...
Deputy Secretary Li looked at the table full of delicious dishes and praised them highly: "Yuexi, your cooking skills are really first-rate. I am so lucky today."
Lu Cheng also agreed with a smile: "Yes, I usually love eating the dishes made by Yuexi the most. Every dish is full of the taste of home."
The family sat around the dining table. Lu Cheng poured a cup of tea for Deputy Secretary Li and said, "Deputy Secretary Li, please feel free to do as you please. Let's just treat it as a family meal. Don't be too restrained."
Deputy Secretary Li nodded in thanks, picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth. The tender fish meat melted in his mouth, and the rich aroma spread on the tip of his tongue.
"It's delicious, Yuexi. This braised carp is even more authentic than the ones in the big restaurants in the city."
Lin Yuexi smiled a little embarrassedly: "Deputy Secretary Li, you are too kind, these are just some common practices.
Eat more and try the other dishes to see if they suit your taste. "Everyone continued chatting while enjoying the food.
After lunch, Deputy Secretary Li chatted with Lu Cheng and his wife for a while, then got up and said goodbye.
The Lu Cheng family sent him to the door and thanked him again and again for his concern and help.
In this way, the days passed leisurely until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The threshold of Lin Yuexi and Lu Cheng's new home was almost trampled flat by the guests coming and going.
In addition to Zhao Gang who often comes, three retired comrades from Lu Cheng have also come to visit in the past few days.
The first is Zhang Zhaokai, a native of Gan'an County, who has been honorably retired from the army five years ago.
He has a sturdy build, with a face that shows the firmness that comes from the polish of time. When he smiles, the fine lines at the corners of his eyes hide stories.
The second is Fu Yong, who is from the next county. He has been retired from the army for three years, but he still retains the capable temperament of a soldier, and his every move is calm and confident.
The last one is Zhang Handi, who retired from the army only two years ago and is now serving as the director of the county office.
He wore a pair of black-framed glasses, his eyes were sharp and gentle, and he exuded the elegance of an intellectual.
Lin Yuexi stood aside, watching her husband chatting animatedly with his comrades, and couldn't help but murmur in her heart, secretly marveling at how extensive Lu Cheng's network of contacts was.
Just as he was thinking, Zhang Handi walked over to Lin Yuexi with a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I heard that you are preparing for the medical qualification exam. This is a great thing! I wonder how your preparations are going?"
Lin Yuexi smiled modestly, straightened her back slightly, and said, "Director Zhang, thank you so much for your concern. I've been preparing for this period of time. The exam will start at the age of 18..."
Zhang Handi nodded approvingly, pushed up his glasses, and encouraged, "Sister-in-law, I heard that you were personally invited by Deputy Secretary Zhao to come to the county. I believe that the doctor's qualification certificate is just a piece of cake for you."
