Time flies. Mu Ruanruan has been working at the animal quarantine station for half a year and is busy every day. Fortunately, Ye Qian applied for retirement and is responsible for taking care of Xiaowu at home.
Originally, they wanted to send him to a daycare class, but Ye Qian couldn't bear to leave the child and wanted to teach him herself. The two of them got along very well. Xiaowu always slept with his grandmother at night, which made Mu Ruanruan very sad.
This little girl has become distracted in just such a short time.
Ye Qian also felt sorry for Mu Ruanruan, and kept complaining that she didn't take good care of her during the confinement period. She always stewed a lot of supplements for her, such as black chicken, ginseng, and angelica.
Fortunately, she has a physique that is not prone to obesity, otherwise she would have become fat.
Xiaowu could see with his own eyes that the oval face had turned into a watermelon seed.
The two old people were very happy to have a child, and Mu Mingda would run home whenever he had nothing to do.
Everyone still lived in that flat, and Ruan Zaiqingmu Baizhi's room had been cleaned up and turned into a shared study.
Mu Mingda cleared the utility room and took up some space in the living room to prepare a princess room for Xiaowu. All the items in the room were chosen by the old couple and Xiaowu. They were all pink and tender, which made Mu Ruanruan envious.
The work at the epidemic prevention station is tedious and busy, but time passes quickly.
When she got home that day, Mu Mingda said there was a letter for her. Mu Ruanruan changed her shoes and took the letter back to her room to read it.
Xiaowu is taking a nap, the eldest and second brothers are out of town, and the third brother comes home occasionally. Because of the children, Mu Ruanruan will come back whenever she is free to accompany the children and her parents.
The letter was sent from Sheung Shui Village and there was no name on the envelope.
She opened it and pulled out the letter paper inside, ordinary striped paper with the fresh scent of ink.
The handwriting is standard and there is not much content. It was written by Jiang Lan.
He said he had made up his mind and was willing to receive treatment for his leg. He also said that if Mu Ruanruan was convenient, she could come over anytime, or he could come over.
This was the promise she made to Jiang Lan. For so many years, he had been unwilling to do it. Why did he suddenly agree now?
Mu Ruanruan didn't think much about it. She planned to go to the company in the afternoon to check the shift schedule and squeeze out time to go there.
The epidemic prevention station works six days a week, and sometimes we have to be on duty on Sundays, but on Saturdays we usually go to the townships to provide work guidance.
Mu Ruanruan kept the fact that she had a child a secret, so everyone thought she was single and had no burden. She was the one who went to the township most often on Saturdays.
In the past, Ye Qian would introduce her to potential partners and she would find excuses not to go to the countryside from time to time. Now, she is content with having a granddaughter and doesn't care about Mu Ruanruan's lifelong affairs. She is happy and at ease, but she can't find time to ask for leave.
She is the one going to the countryside again this week.
She planned to switch shifts with someone else. Since the other person had already written to her, Mu Ruanruan didn't want to delay this matter any longer.
The director was an elderly woman with a kind face. When Mu Ruanruan told her about the shift change, she immediately agreed and was given a day off.
No new job was assigned to her.
The two chatted in the office for a while, and the director sighed and said, "As a small fry, I really don't understand the work arrangements made by the higher-ups."
"What's wrong?"
"It's clearly a matter for the Haicheng Epidemic Prevention Station, but I don't know why it was assigned to our Lancheng," the director said, puzzled. "There's a large breeding farm over there, and an emergency occurred there. Haicheng said they don't have enough epidemic prevention personnel and need to transfer them from us."
Mu Ruanruan also found it strange. Although Lancheng and Haicheng were in the same province, they were not close to each other. The distance was only about 500 kilometers, and the train took seven or eight hours. If they wanted to transfer personnel, they could just transfer them from their subordinate counties and districts. Why would they be transferred to Lancheng?
"Could there be a mistake?" Mu Ruanruan asked.
The director shook his head: "I called and asked, and yes, they specifically asked to transfer someone from our epidemic prevention station."
"How many do you want?"
"That's the problem. Not many people want it. Only one is needed."
Mu Ruanruan didn't understand either, but it was not her concern. As for who to let go, it was the director's responsibility to consider. It would never be her turn.
She is neither the best nor the youngest, and her experience is not that long. She is just in the middle level, neither high nor low. There is only one spot, and I don't know how lucky she is.
She didn't ask any more questions, and stood up to say goodbye: "You are busy, I will go out first."
Just as she reached the door, the director suddenly remembered something and called her, "Did you just say you were going to Haicheng to meet a friend?"
Mu Ruanruan felt uneasy, but it was not easy to lie, so she nodded and said "yes".
"Well, if you happen to be there, why not check to see if they're really short of staff? Bring some medicine or something with you. If they're short of staff, you can help them out. It should only take three to five days."
Mu Ruanruan was stunned. The director's move was a good move.
"But I have something to do next Monday in Xinxiang..."
"I'll let Xiaowei go. Don't worry about things here. I'll coordinate everything. Just bring more things, such as medicines and drugs. If you really can't get it done, write a note and return it. I'll send someone to deliver it. Don't worry."
"but......"
"Oh, don't worry, that's it, ah, get busy."
In this way, Mu Ruanruan's two-day vacation turned into a business trip. The director repeatedly assured her that it would be three to five days, and Mu Ruanruan couldn't refuse no matter how reluctant she was.
Colleagues sometimes have to go on business trips, and they may have to go for ten days or half a month, not to mention three or five days.
The epidemic prevention station prepared a large amount of medicine for her, three large boxes, and she even arranged a car to deliver them.
It would be better to let her take the train. She can just put the suitcase in the space. The car ride is long and not as comfortable as the train. Buying a sleeper berth allows her to lie down for a while.
After finally entering the territory of Haicheng, Mu Ruanruan felt dizzy and vomited all over the place. She quickly asked the driver to go back and said she could do it.
After several attempts of persuasion, the driver of the company finally dropped her off on the roadside, looking back every few steps, and drove back.
After she walked away, Mu Ruanruan took advantage of the fact that there was no one around and quickly put the box into the space.
After walking for a while, she took a ox cart and arrived at the familiar county town.
When she was in Shangshui Village, she would come to the county town to buy some good things. When she left Shangshui Village, it was Uncle Peng and Jiang He who took her here in a ox cart.
In just a few years, this place has changed a lot. Many shops have been added on both sides of the street, and more people are doing business, making it very bustling.
Mu Ruanruan found the local animal quarantine station and after communicating with them, they checked the information, took her out for a meal, took a short rest, and then gave her a note with her work content and location.
"Piglet vaccination, Shanghe Town."
What a coincidence?
Mu Ruanruan always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
Shanghe Town is the nearest town to Shangshui Village, only an hour's walk away. It was also a place she often visited in the past, and she was very familiar with it.
But it's just such a small matter, why would they transfer people from Blue City? And it doesn't look like they are short of manpower.
With a lot of questions in mind and a bunch of vaccines received, Mu Ruanruan got on the minibus to Shanghe Town again.
