Eating melons and raising children in the period literature

It was a new day. When Yang Qingqing was getting ready to go to work, she saw her second brother was about to go out with her.

"Brother, why are you going out so early? Why don't you take a rest?" Yang Qingqing looked at her brother puzzled and said

"Well, I'll go to town with you. You go to work, and I'm going to save up my eldest brother and sister-in-law's pension. Otherwise, it's easy to lose it if we don't take it in the car. I'll go to town with you first, and then go to the county to save the money. I can just drop you off at work on the way there." The second brother said as he walked out

"Okay, when we get to town, I can treat my second brother to breakfast. I went there yesterday and saw steamed buns for sale. Quite a few people were eating them, so we can try some today."

Yang Qingqing followed her second brother out and saw her second sister-in-law busy in the kitchen, so she greeted her, "Second sister-in-law, my second brother and I won't have breakfast today, otherwise we will be too late. I'll bring you some delicious food when I come back, okay? Let's go."

"Okay, go ahead. Be careful on your way. You don't need to bring anything back. We have everything at home." The second sister-in-law said with a smile

"Then wait until I get off work and see what happens. If there's anything good, I'll take some, if not, forget it," Yang Qingqing said before leaving.

"Don't buy things blindly. Do you have money? Do you have tickets? Don't think of any unorthodox means. Our safety is more important than anything else! Got it?" The second brother said the last sentence in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Okay! I get it. I will definitely live a peaceful life. Don't be angry, brother! Let's go, or we'll be late."

Yang Qingqing smiled coaxingly, but in her heart she was thinking, "I'm not stupid. I just want to give you guys some more delicious food while everyone is here! Otherwise, you won't be able to enjoy my 21st century technology and hard work in the future."

Because Yang Qingqing originally planned to bring snacks for the children, a box of cigarettes and wine for her second brother, and a silk scarf for her second sister-in-law. She wanted to amaze everyone, but now it’s impossible.

The main reason is that I found those things really hard to explain, and I can't really ignore my second brother's warning.

Yang Qingqing doesn't know about others, but she always thinks about making sure everything goes well. Try to think comprehensively and avoid any accidents.

Yang Qingqing and Yang Qinghe separated at the hospital entrance

Yang Qingqing went to the hospital for training. When she entered the door, she saw that all five people who were admitted this time had arrived, three men, two women, and Yang Qingqing herself.

In fact, Yang Qingqing was stunned when she saw this situation. She felt that there would not be many male nurses in the future, so why did they only recruit three this time?

Yang Qingqing had a question mark on her forehead

Yang Qingqing found a seat and sat down, not too far from her future colleagues, just enough to hear them talking.

Yang Qingqing and her team were training in the conference room, so there was plenty of room.

Yang Qingqing was actually quite surprised when she heard them talking. They had just reported yesterday, so they shouldn't know each other today. Why did they feel quite familiar with each other? Otherwise, why would they sit together and have so much to talk about?

I feel like Yang Qingqing herself is quite out of place

But before Yang Qingqing could hear anything useful, a woman in her forties who looked very capable and elegant came in and said, "Hello, I am the head nurse of the surgical department of our hospital. My last name is Li, you can just call me Sister Li. I am your training teacher for this stage. Once you have mastered it, other people will come to teach you. Okay, no more nonsense. Let's learn the basic surgical wound bandaging..."

Yang Qingqing was very serious in class. For a better job in the future and to be responsible for her life, Yang Qingqing had never been as serious as she is today. She used to just muddle through in class and never took it so seriously.

Time flies when people are serious. Yang Qingqing felt that it was already noon and it was time to go eat.

"This is the end of our morning study. Here are your food coupons for today. You can go to our hospital cafeteria to eat. After dinner, remember to go to the logistics department to collect your food allowance for this month. Have you transferred your food allowance to the hospital? If not, you cannot collect it."

A handsome boy about 17 or 18 years old asked, "Our food allowance hasn't been changed yet? Does that mean we can't go to the cafeteria to eat if it's not changed? Can I change it this afternoon?"

Sister Li replied, "You should do it as soon as possible. You won't need food coupons when you transfer. Just use our internal meal coupons. Now, let's go eat first. If you go too late, there will be no more."

Everyone nodded, and the girl with the apple face said, "Hello, do you want to have dinner with us? We are colleagues from now on, let's go together!"

The other people also looked at Yang Qingqing, waiting for her answer.

"Okay, I just want to go with you guys. Please take care of me in the future," Yang Qingqing replied with a smile

"Then let's go. Hello, I'm from Yulin Commune, my name is Lin Jianshe. We were classmates before, and we've never seen you before. Who are you?" said the boy who happened to ask the question.

"Ah? So you two knew each other before. I was wondering why you were all sitting together! I am a military family member, my eldest brother is a soldier, and my eldest sister-in-law is a military doctor. It was my eldest sister-in-law who asked me to take the exam," Yang Qingqing said

"That's right! We are all locals. Her name is Liu Yanmei, and she is from the county town. His name is Ma Baohua, also from the county town. The remaining one is Li Hongjun, and he is from the Red Star Commune." Lin Jianshe introduced them one by one.

Liu Yanmei is another girl, with a round apple face, almond eyes, and short hair. She looks a bit shy and easy to get along with.

Ma Baohua is a tall and thin man, about 1 meters tall, who looks like he would run away if the wind blew. He doesn't like to talk much and has a kind of aloof feeling.

Li Hongjun looked short, but his clothes were obviously not as good as the others, with patches on them. The others didn't have them. But he looked cold and aloof, with a sense of aloofness but also a bit out of place.

Lin Jianshe is neither tall nor short, and he looks the best among the others. He is also cheerful and talkative, and has the potential to be a chatterbox. In short, he gives people the feeling of a sunny and cheerful big boy.

Yang Qingqing thought to herself, "These people seem to be easy to get along with, but I don't know if it's true. I hope there are no bad ones. Otherwise, I will have trouble with my future work."

Lin Jianshe said mysteriously, "Do you know how long our training will take? We also don't know which commune we will be assigned to as a health worker after the training. Is there a commune you want to go to?"

Yang Qingqing's eyes widened, and she asked incredulously, "What are you talking about? Aren't we nurses? How come you went to the commune? How come I didn't know? Who told you this? Is this news accurate?"

Lin Jianshe looked puzzled. "Huh? Don't you know? Didn't they tell you about the job openings? Didn't you see it? Then how did you know about the job openings and get in? We all know about it."

Others also looked at Yang Qingqing in confusion.

"I don't know. My sister-in-law told me. I didn't read it and went to take the exam directly. I always thought it was a nursing exam."

"Ah? Don't you find it strange? There are so many gay men taking the nursing exam? And more than half of the admitted ones are gay men," Liu Yanmei said

"I didn't think too much about it. I was a little surprised but I didn't expect it."

Yang Qingqing felt like a row of crows flew over her head.

I thought, "I didn't take the job exam, I just got on the train halfway. I thought I had found a job and everything was settled. How come there is still something wrong? My sister-in-law didn't mention this in my memory."

In fact, this matter is not the fault of the eldest sister-in-law Dong Xuemei. It can only be said that fate plays tricks on people. Originally, a nurse Dong Xuemei knew was a local, but she lived far away from home. Now that she is married and has children, she wants to work near home. Then the hospital happened to be recruiting workers, and wanted to train health workers for the commune below. Dong Xuemei wanted Yang Qingqing to take the exam, and then she could switch with her. Dong Xuemei also asked her. The nurse also agreed. No one would have thought that things would turn out like this. Dong Xuemei and Yang Qingshan would suddenly die.

Now Yang Qingqing is a little panicked and she doesn't know what to do.

The main reason was that Dong Xuemei had not told Yang Qingqing about the job change. She thought it was a sure thing, so she told Yang Qingqing that she was a nurse.

Dong Xuemei thought that with her in the hospital, she could also take care of Yang Qingqing.

Now Yang Qingqing was caught off guard and felt numb all over.

As a result, Yang Qingqing was a little absent-minded until the end of the meal.

After dinner, a woman in her twenties came up to them and said, "Excuse me, who is Yang Qingqing? I have something to tell her."

"I am. What do you want to talk to me about? I don't know you."

"I know. Let's go over there and talk for a few minutes, okay? I know your sister-in-law Dong Xuemei."

"Okay. You guys go back first, I'll be back later." Yang Qingqing said to the others

Yang Qingqing walked to the corner of a house and there were not many people around.

"It's like this. I originally agreed with your sister-in-law that I would swap jobs with you after you finished your training. But given the current situation, I can't swap with you. It's not that I don't want to, it's mainly because your training time is too long, and the job content is different. What you learned can't be used as a nurse right away. You understand what I mean!"

"Ah! I actually don't know. My sister-in-law just told me to take the job exam and didn't tell me anything else. Maybe she didn't have time to tell me. Now I know roughly what you mean. That's it, I'm leaving first."

After saying that, Yang Qingqing turned and left

On the way, Yang Qingqing had actually sorted out the matter.

If my sister-in-law was still here, it would be a good job. After all, it's easier to get things done with someone! Now it's not something Yang Qingqing can control. He can only take it one step at a time.

In short, Yang Qingqing was a little absent-minded in the afternoon and didn't hear much.

Yang Qingqing never knew how such a ridiculous thing happened to her. She had many opportunities to figure it out. But she trusted her previous memories too much, and now she is like this.

Yang Qingqing was speechless. She said that the hospital's recruitment of nurses seemed to be very hasty.

Yang Qingqing returned home listlessly and said sadly

"Second brother and second sister-in-law, I'm back."

"Aunt, why didn't you bring any delicious food? You said you would bring some delicious food back this morning," Wen Yuan asked cutely.

The other children also looked at Yang Qingqing expectantly.

"Oh! I forgot. I'm sorry. Aunt will definitely bring some delicious food tomorrow. Go and have fun. Aunt has something to say to your second uncle and second aunt."

Yang Qingqing told her second brother and second sister-in-law what happened today.

My second brother and his wife were speechless.

"You didn't know anything, but you took the exam and passed it. But after working for a day, you found that it was not what you expected. What do you want to do? Do you want to keep this job?" said the second brother.

"I don't know what to do. Do you have any opinions, brother and sister-in-law? Let's discuss it together."
