Chapter 16 Job Opportunities at the Epidemic Prevention Station
Sure enough, the effect of the decoction is faster than that of the pills. At noon the next day, just after the Jin Yue family had lunch, Yang Zhengkang came to the door in person.
"Comrade Xiao Shu, good news, good news!"
"My mother drank your medicine three times yesterday. She didn't sneeze much this morning, except for a few times. She said she wanted to eat steamed buns at noon. She hasn't eaten a single bite of food in several days."
Even the most stable person couldn't help but get excited at this moment, "I really regret it. I should have listened to her and come to you earlier, instead of waiting until now."
Jin Yue smiled and thought that if she had come to see her earlier, he might not be willing to let Mother Yang take her medicine.
To put it bluntly, if everyone else had been helpless, she would not have had this chance to try her luck.
"Please come with me again, Comrade Xiao Shu. My mother is old and it is inconvenient for her to travel back and forth." He paused and said, "I am grateful for your kindness. If there is anything I, Yang, can help with, please just ask."
Jin Yue's heart skipped a beat, and an idea was about to come to mind. For a moment, he was afraid that if he didn't speak up, he would miss the opportunity. He was also afraid that if he spoke up too early, people would think he was eager for quick success.
Seeing Jin Yue being taken away in a car again, everyone in the compound was stunned.
"This... Teacher Shu, is it really your Jin Yue who cured him?"
"That's a strange disease that even the experts at the provincial hospital can't cure..."
"I am not seeing things, the one who just came is the same big boss from yesterday!"
"Hey, what medicine did Jinyue ask me to buy yesterday? I'll go right away!"
Aunt Zhao sneered, "Pah, who said yesterday that Jinyue should learn and practice now? If you have the guts, don't eat it now."
…
In less than half a day, the news that Shu Jinyue could treat illnesses spread like wildfire. No matter whether they had seen him or not, everyone spread the story of yesterday as if it were miraculous. When Jinyue returned home, he was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
She swore that Mrs. Yang’s illness was not really a difficult one!
What was even more unexpected to her was that an uninvited guest came to the Shu family that night.
It was freezing cold, and the man was only wearing a white shirt, through which one could vaguely see his red vest. "Xiao Su, come out for a moment."
The Shu family was just about to have dinner when Xu Duan stood outside the Shu family's window.
Inside and outside the house, the only person who has a connection with the surname Su is Shu Jinyue. But they were not familiar with each other and had only met twice. It was late at night, and he asked her to go out, so did she have to go out?
She doesn't want to go out.
Xu Duan seemed very patient. He would not leave until she went out.
There was an awkward silence inside and outside the room. In the end, Zhao Wanqiu did not dare to offend the thick thigh, so she invited him to come in and sit down. She asked Teacher Shu to get the bowl and chopsticks, and asked him to sit down and eat together.
Tonight, they had a rare improvement in their meals. They added tomatoes to the dumpling soup, beat two eggs, sprinkled some chopped green onions, and scrambled some chili oil. If you like sour food, you can add a few drops of vinegar. Shu Wenming ate it with garlic cloves and it was delicious.
Jin Yue saw that there was no more dumpling soup in the pot and didn't want the old couple to "sacrifice" their rations for outsiders, so he reluctantly got up and went under the eaves.
Although she was wearing a lot of clothes, she was still shivering from the cold after just getting off the warm kang. He stood in the way of the wind without making a sound, and his first words were -
"Don't get too close to Yang Zhengkang."
Jin Yue thought to herself why this guy was so weird. They met for the third time and he said something without any context. Why should she listen to him?
She blinked and had to raise her head with great effort to see his face clearly.
Others are willing to buy good cotton-padded jackets, or even down jackets, and they are very warm with just one or two pieces. They look energetic and not bloated at all. She only has two tattered cotton-padded jackets, and the outermost one she wears is Shu Wenyun’s old cotton-padded jacket from four years ago. She has six or seven layers of it, and with her yellow, frizzy hair, she looks like a fledgling chick.
Xu Duan sighed inwardly, leaning sideways to block the north wind. He estimated that she was young and had not thought about many of the interests involved, so he had to soften his voice: "Their affairs... are very complicated. You can't rush to find a job."
Facing the light coming through the window, he looked so handsome with his sharp features, long and stretched eyebrows, high nose bridge, and slightly pursed lips.
Yes, it looks good.
Jin Yue had to be honest and say that Uncle Xu was really handsome. He was not like those fair-skinned, oval-faced handsome guys he had seen on the phone, nor was he the common dark-skinned soldiers. He was more manly than them, and not so cold and hard that he was unapproachable.
He seemed like a very nice looking, easy to talk to guy.
Therefore, Shu Jinyue, who was fascinated by the "beauty", did not even think about why he knew in such a short time that she knew Yang Zhengkang and was planning to ask Yang Zhengkang to arrange a job for her. Even her parents did not know about her little thoughts.
Even after leaving Liuye Hutong, Xu Duan still shook his head when he thought of her confused look. She was too young and had little experience. Not only did she think simply, but everything she was thinking was written on her face.
The most important thing is that after talking for so long I still have no idea whether she understood what I meant... Forget it, after all her name is Su Jinyue.
***
It’s strange, but when you are unlucky, all kinds of bad things happen to you, but when you are lucky, all kinds of good things happen to you.
The next morning, Jin Yue was about to go out to look for ways to make money, when suddenly a head popped in from the door. "Shu Jin Yue?"
Jin Yue was stunned. In front of him was a girl with round eyes, and her voice sounded a little familiar.
"Don't you remember me? I'm the one you saved that night, Yao Qingqing!"
She was carrying a net bag of apples and two cans of food, and she was struggling. "I should have thanked you that day, but I haven't recovered yet. Don't be angry."
"It's okay, come in."
Jin Yue let her in and poured her a glass of boiled water. "Don't be so polite. Anyone who encounters such a thing will be saved."
Apples and canned food were in much shorter supply before the New Year than usual, so this bag of gifts was not light.
"Well, don't be polite to me. This is your home, and you haven't told me how many people are in it." Yao Qingqing is very outgoing. Since she has nothing to do today, she starts talking about her family's situation.
"It's great that you have four brothers and sisters in your family. In our family, there are only me and my brother. Now my brother is gone, and I'm the only one left..." She took a deep breath and didn't continue the topic. Instead, she asked where her brothers and sisters worked.
Based on her limited life experience, Jin Yue judged that this girl was a straightforward person who said whatever came to her mind, so she just gave a simple introduction and the two of them quickly became familiar with each other.
Yao's parents were both teachers at the Geological University. They encountered a landslide while out on an exploration trip and died, leaving behind a pair of children and a large courtyard house. After graduating from high school, Yao Qingqing went to work as an accountant in the Finance Office of the Geological University, taking over her parents' job. Her brother went to the army for training and made several contributions.
"I originally thought that good days were coming and I could continue to work as an accountant when I joined the army, but my brother... Although the higher-ups gave our family another job opportunity as compensation, I would rather my brother still be alive."
Jin Yue said a few words of comfort, and suddenly realized, "Is another job arranged for your family?"
"Yes, they said that as long as I am willing, anyone can go. My brother's girlfriend's family came to make trouble again yesterday. In addition to the house, they also wanted to arrange this job opportunity for their son. I won't do it. I'm not stupid."
"I would rather give her to anyone than to him!" Thinking of their brother's recent sacrifice, they hurriedly found a husband for their future sister-in-law, and did not allow her to tell anyone about their engagement, for fear of ruining her reputation and preventing her from "waiting for a good price."
Jin Yue didn't pay attention to these. Her heart moved and she felt a little nervous, not knowing how to start the conversation.
But she only has one chance, and she must live!
"Is it true that anyone can take the job opportunity you mentioned?"
"Yes, I like being an accountant at school. I don't want to keep changing jobs. Do you know what that job is? It's actually an epidemic prevention station! Every day I either catch mice and kill mosquitoes or give people vaccinations. I dare not do that. I was afraid of injections when I was in junior high school."
Jin Yue shouted in his heart: I can do it, rich sister, look at me! Not only do I not get scared of injections, I know how to give injections!
Ever since the old Chinese doctor fell ill, she has been responsible for treating the pigs, cattle, sheep and members of several nearby brigades with small injections and intravenous drips. Now, as long as you give her a butt or an arm, she can insert the needle with her eyes closed!
"Sister Qingqing, have you ever considered transferring your job?" she asked tentatively.
"I would like to, but the Labor Bureau said that if others go, they have to learn health and epidemic prevention knowledge from scratch and pass some exams to be able to work. Where can we find such people?"
Jin Yue jumped up with excitement! Isn't this tailor-made for her? As for health and epidemic prevention work, it is similar to the merger of grassroots hospitals and disease control departments in later generations. She has actually never been involved in it. During those years in the countryside, she mostly saw patients and lacked knowledge of prevention and control. But who is she?
She is Shu Jinyue, who has been a ghost for many years and has an incredibly strong memory!
"Sister Qingqing, how about this, you name a price and give me this job, okay?" He said sincerely.
She admitted that she was suspected of taking advantage of the situation and seeking repayment for a favor, but Yao Qingqing really did not need this job for the time being, and she was in need of a life-saving job!
"Do you want to go? Have you studied? What if you fail the exam? It's not that I don't want to give it to you. This is what my brother paid for with his life. If...if...oh, I'm not saying that you're wasting your chance. I'm just a little worried. Don't be angry."
Shu Jinyue found that he really liked her more and more. It was much better to just talk directly instead of beating around the bush.
"I know Sister Qingqing doesn't mean that. To be honest, I've studied medicine for a few years and can treat basic common diseases. I also know a little bit about hygiene and epidemic prevention. As for the exam, as long as it's not too beyond the syllabus, I should have no problem."
Then she recounted her experiences in the countryside, and highlighted several successful cases to prove that she really knew how to treat illnesses.
"In the first year, one of the female educated youth who went with us felt sick and vomited every day. She couldn't eat, and her belly was inexplicably swollen. The members of the production team said that she had a bad work style and had an affair with someone. She went to the health center but couldn't get treatment. Later, she went to the county hospital and did a lot of tests, but nothing was found. Her belly kept getting bigger. Guess what happened?"
"Why, is it true..." Yao Qingqing blushed, feeling shy and extremely curious.
"As a result, after I took three doses of medicine, she had vomiting and diarrhea, and her stomach became smaller in a week."
"Ah?" Yao Qingqing was shocked and asked what was going on.
Jin Yue patiently explained to her what summer dampness is and what gallbladder stagnation of heat is. He explained it in a simple and vivid way, and Yao Qingqing was stunned and couldn't recover for a long time.
"About the second year, I met an old man in his eighties who had a high fever. The county hospital issued a critical illness notice and asked his family to take him home to prepare for his funeral. He happened to walk to the entrance of our village, so I thought of looking for the old Chinese doctor, who is also my master, to give it a try. But my master had already passed away. When they heard that I was his apprentice, they asked me to give it a try. To be honest, I was really nervous..." blah blah.
Jin Yue was not good at bragging, but in order to get this opportunity, she had to shamelessly advertise herself.
Of course, she was not exaggerating at all. Every case was rescued by her own hands and can stand up to scrutiny. As for the strange illness of Old Lady Yang yesterday, it was not really a strange illness, so I didn’t mention it.
Half an hour later.
Yao Qingqing looked at her with eyes full of admiration, "Jinyue, you are awesome. It would be great if you were my real sister."
That night she was suffocated by the ice water and her chest hurt so much that it felt like it was going to explode. Later she lost consciousness and her soul seemed to be rising into the air. She thought she was dead, but she woke herself up in just a few seconds.
What does this prove? It proves that this little girl in front of me is really capable!
"If a little genius doctor like you is not qualified to work at the epidemic prevention station, who else is qualified to go?"
