They never hold anything back. Take Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Brother Dong, for example. They're well-known figures in the military hospital and even the entire military region. If it weren't for Master and the others, who would know who these two senior brothers are?
"This can't all be attributed to Mom!"
"No, but you have to understand, if it weren't for their master, the two of them would probably be in deep trouble right now!"
Second Sister
"Don't worry, it's fine. Their medical skills are beyond the reach of ordinary people. Not to mention the hospital, the entire military region and even the higher-ups would have to think twice about whether to move them. They are authorities in their respective fields, and not everyone in the country can compare to them. No one can do without them."
"Okay, I'll remember that, Second Sister."
"That's right. You need to remember these things. They're all about social interactions. Remember them; you never know when they might come in handy."
"I understand, Second Sister."
"Our Mianmian has grown up."
"I won't be able to take you to the train station the day after tomorrow. I heard from Mom that you rented out your apartment near the hospital to the hospital."
"Yes, it's close to the hospital."
"I heard this from some of the nurses in my department. Some of them are not used to living in the dormitory and are planning to go to the hospital leaders to ask for some rent so they can get a good rest. You know, surgery is not like other departments. A surgery takes at least an hour, and major surgeries often take four or five hours. If you are not careful, it is easy for something to go wrong."
"That's true. Second sister, have you noticed that the atmosphere in the city has been strange lately?"
"Is this what you're talking about?"
"Yes!"
"Alright, I won't keep you in suspense any longer. I did notice it. What's wrong?"
Something doesn't feel right.
"I sensed it too, but something felt off; I couldn't quite put my finger on it."
"Second sister, it's best to speak less, especially at times like this."
"I know that. You also know that I only talk a lot when I'm with you."
"Has your second sister ever considered joining the army as a military doctor?"
Why?
"As you just said, Dr. Zhang and Dr. Dong are both top-notch doctors at the hospital. If they could deal with you while you're there, it would be very easy for them."
"Don't worry about that. Dr. Zhang is an authority in cardiothoracic surgery, Dr. Dong is an authority in cardiac and vascular surgery, and I am a surgeon who is proficient in both areas."
"Then, at that time, I'm afraid..."
"To be honest, I've already applied to be stationed in the military. Only there can I better utilize my expertise."
"Do Aunt Zhou and Uncle Shen know about this?"
"I know, we've already discussed this, but we can't say for sure where we'll go yet. No worries, I'll write to you once I've decided."
"good"
"After you go to the countryside, remember to write to me if anything happens, okay?"
"I know my second sister."
"I wrote to my older brother and the others about your going to the countryside."
"Second sister, this..."
"It's alright. They'd find out sooner or later anyway. Besides, you can't keep your decision to go to the countryside a secret from them, especially your fourth brother. He's only a year or two older than you. If we don't tell him now, I'm afraid he'll cause trouble. Besides, telling him won't cause any problems for him. You know your fourth brother well. When he finds out you've decided to go to the countryside, he'll know it's the best thing for you. At the same time, he should also understand what he should do to make things the best for you."
"Second sister, to be honest, I'm most worried about fourth brother. Third brother is graduating this July, but he's still in university. And the situation isn't looking good."
"Probably not?"
"Second sister, as you just said, fourth brother is only a year or two older than me. Most people his age are high school students. In the past, they were kept in check by teachers and didn't cause much trouble. But lately, you don't know what's going on at school?"
"What happened, Mianmian? Tell me in detail," Shen Nan, the second sister, asked quickly after hearing the news.
I then recounted the school-related matters I had discussed with Uncle Shen a few days prior.
"Since that's the case, it seems we should make arrangements as soon as possible. Or perhaps we could arrange for him to go to the countryside as well, so he can keep you company."
"Second sister, no! Not only has fourth brother always wanted to be a soldier, just like eldest and third brothers, but also, if fourth brother goes to the countryside, do you know what kind of situation he will encounter? If he stays there for a long time, are you suggesting that fourth brother get married in the countryside?"
"And what about you?"
"Second sister, don't forget, the leaders of the military hospital said they would arrange a nursing job for me after I turn 15."
"But who knows when that will be?"
"Second sister, even if it doesn't happen by then, I'm only 14 now, and I still have several years until I'm an adult."
"Oh well"
"Second Sister, while Uncle Shen still holds a position in the military, let's arrange things for Fourth Brother as much as possible. I'm worried that things won't be safe in the army then."
"Mianmian, what you just said doesn't seem that serious, does it?"
"Second sister, there's no shortage of hypocrites and scoundrels, no matter where you are."
"What about my parents then?"
"Therefore, we need to arrange Fourth Brother's whereabouts in advance."
"You're right, is there anything else?"
"It would be best if Aunt Zhou and Uncle Shen were alright. If something happens, then we need to make arrangements for our escape route in advance, or at least prepare in advance! If Fourth Brother isn't prepared, Aunt Zhou and Uncle Shen will have to worry about him. After making arrangements in advance, you can also let the higher-ups know through other means that your importance is irreplaceable, so that others will have to think twice before doing anything."
"You're right, but I've heard that letters are now being checked."
"Is there no other way? Here's what I'll do! Second Sister, after I go to the countryside, I'll write to my eldest and third brothers to let them know."
"Is there any difference?"
"Don't worry about that, I'll handle it myself."
"Okay then."
"Fourth Brother will be on summer vacation in a little over a month. You should have a good talk with him then and explain the situation to him in detail. I won't believe it just because of him. I'm afraid there will be people everywhere at this time. Just tell him that going to the army is the best choice for him, for the family, and for everyone."
"Don't worry about that. The best thing about the fourth brother is that he listens to advice and knows what's right and wrong."
“I know what kind of person Fourth Brother is. By the way, Second Sister, tell him that after he joins the army, he should not mention anything about the family to anyone, especially Uncle Shen’s position. I’m afraid that someone will hold a grudge about it later.”
"Don't worry about that. In our university applications, the family section is filled out in the simplest way possible."
"Is it the same when you join the army?"
"No, it should be even stricter, but there aren't many people who can see the files, so don't worry about that. Besides, of the four of us siblings, we only talk to you the most; we're all quiet people outside."
