Quick Transmigration: The Pregnant Little Fairy is Pampered by the Heirless Boss

Chapter 379 The Beloved Little Sister 14

After settling in, You Yong began to think about Ji Xiaosong's job.

I had already tried to smooth things over with the health center, but they haven't given me a direct answer.

After waiting for several days, news finally came.

When You Yongxing rushed home, Ji Xiaosong was watering the calming grass on the balcony.

He rushed to her, his face beaming with undisguised joy: "Song'er, I've already spoken with Director Zhang of the clinic. I'll take you to meet him tomorrow!"

Ji Xiaosong paused, a few drops of spiritual spring water spilling from the kettle: "So fast?"

"Of course!" You Yong's eyes sparkled. "Director Zhang heard you know medicine and is very interested. Our military medical station is short-staffed!"

Ji Xiaosong put down the kettle and wiped her hands with her apron: "Brother You Yong, I have something to tell you."

The two sat at the folding table in the living room. Ji Xiaosong opened the well-worn "Barefoot Doctor's Manual": "I did learn a lot from this book, but..."

She paused for a moment, then said, "I don't have a medical license, and I haven't even received formal medical training."

You Yong was stunned: "But you cured your own illness and helped so many people in the village..."

“That’s different,” Ji Xiaosong said softly. “In the countryside, people trust me. But this is the military base, and I have legal responsibilities for treating patients.”

You Yong frowned: "Then..."

“I’d like to ask first,” Ji Xiaosong looked him straight in the eye, “what are the specific requirements for recruiting at the military medical station?”

You Yong scratched his head: "I'll go ask Director Zhang."

The next evening, You Yong returned dejectedly.

Ji Xiaosong was cooking in the kitchen when she heard the door open and poked her head out: "How is it?"

You Yong slammed his military cap on the table, his voice muffled: "Director Zhang said the minimum requirement is graduation from a nursing school, or having a village doctor's certificate..."

The spatula made a "sizzling" sound in the iron pot.

Ji Xiaosong turned down the heat and slowly stirred the vegetables in the pot: "Hmm, is there anything else?"

“He also said…” You Yong began with difficulty, “Even if he is hired through special consideration, his salary will only be calculated as a temporary worker, 28 yuan a month.”

Ji Xiaosong nodded and scooped the stir-fried vegetables into a plate: "Let's eat first."

At the dinner table, You Yong ate without tasting his food: "Song'er, don't be sad, I'll think of something else..."

“I’m not sad.” Ji Xiaosong put a piece of food on his plate. “Director Zhang is right. Treating patients and saving lives is a serious matter and cannot be taken lightly.”

She put down her chopsticks and took out paper and pen from the drawer: "I went to the service store today and bought a book of stationery. I want to write a letter home and ask my older brother to help me find the enrollment brochure for the county's health school."

You Yong's eyes widened: "You want to go to school?"

"Hmm." Ji Xiaosong neatly wrote the words "Big Brother" on the paper. "I want to apply for the correspondence course at the county health school. I can study as a temporary worker at the clinic during the day and study on my own at night."

You Yong grabbed her hand: "That must be so hard!"

Ji Xiaosong laughed: "Compared to your training, this is nothing."

She grasped her husband's rough hand in return, saying, "I want to study medicine properly, obtain a rural doctor's certificate in the future, and then strive for further training opportunities."

"But......"

“Brother You Yong,” Ji Xiaosong interrupted him, her eyes resolute, “I don’t want to rely on your connections to get by. I want to stand by your side with dignity and be a person worthy of the title of military wife.”

You Yong's eyes reddened.

He stood up abruptly and pulled his wife into his arms: "Okay! I support you!"

*

Three weeks later, Ji Jianguo's reply arrived, along with the county health school's enrollment brochure.

After careful study, Ji Xiaosong discovered that the correspondence course started every March, required junior high school graduation, and lasted for two years.

"There's still time," she calculated. "It's only January now, I have two months to study."

You Yong took a special leave to accompany her to the military library to borrow junior high school math, physics, and chemistry textbooks.

In the evening, the two of them would squeeze together at the dining table to study.

She reviewed her junior high school knowledge, while he studied military theory.

"I don't know how to do this question." Ji Xiaosong nudged You Yong's arm.

You Yong leaned closer to look: "A quadratic equation, huh? Let me teach you..."

Moonlight streamed in through the gaps in the curtains, casting dappled shadows on the textbook.

Looking at her husband's serious profile, Ji Xiaosong suddenly felt that although their days were ordinary, they were exceptionally reassuring.

Rongrong whispered in her mind, "Ah Song, this is real life."

Yes, it doesn't require too many cheat codes or opportunities falling from the sky.

All that remains is the determination to move steadily towards the goal, step by step.

“Brother You Yong,” Ji Xiaosong suddenly said before going to sleep, “After I get my rural doctor certificate, I want to continue studying for a correspondence course at a military medical university.”

You Yong kissed her forehead: "Okay, I'll go with you."

Outside the window, the lights in the residential compound went out one by one.

The desk lamp in room 201 stayed on late, illuminating two figures striving for the future.

Two months later, it was time for Ji Xiaosong to go back and take the exam.

At five o'clock in the morning, before dawn, Ji Xiaosong got up quietly.

She had just started cooking the porridge when she heard You Yong's hoarse voice behind her: "Why are you up so early?"

"Did I wake you up?" Ji Xiaosong turned around and saw her husband standing at the kitchen door with his messy hair. "I wanted to make you breakfast before I left."

You Yong strode forward and hugged her from behind: "Can't we stay for two more days?"

"The nursing school exam is next Monday," Ji Xiaosong said, stirring the porridge in the pot. "I need to go back early to prepare."

You Yong buried his face in the crook of her neck and mumbled a soft "hmm".

Ever since they decided to apply to nursing school, they had been preparing for this brief separation.

When that day actually came, You Yong felt quite uneasy.

I was originally planning to see Ji Xiaosong off, but I was called away at the last minute.

I took the train and then transferred to a bus.

On the bus to the county town, Ji Xiaosong gazed at the fleeting scenery outside the window, clutching her examination admission ticket tightly in her hand.

"Be careful!" These were his last words before he left, and he stuffed twenty yuan and a handful of grain coupons into her bag.

The examination venue for the health school was set up at the county's No. 1 Middle School, and most of the examinees were young people around twenty years old.

Ji Xiaosong found her seat and discovered that people around her were secretly looking at her.

This young woman, dressed in a military green top and with her hair in braids, stood out among the group of students.

"Comrade, are you here to take the exam too?" The round-faced girl in the front row turned around. "My name is Li Hongmei, and I'm a nurse at the county hospital."

Ji Xiaosong nodded: "Ji Xiaosong, come and take the exam for the rural doctor class."

"Wow!" Li Hongmei's eyes lit up. "That class only admits 30 people, but more than 200 people have signed up!"

When the test papers were handed out, Ji Xiaosong smiled.

The math problem wasn't difficult; she's someone who can manufacture special steel.

The topic of her Chinese composition was "My Ideal," which she wrote very smoothly.

Chemistry was also fine; it posed no challenge for her at all.

When the bell rang to signal the end of the exam, Ji Xiaosong had already finished all the questions.

However, in order to fit the persona, she walked out of the examination room dejectedly.

Unexpectedly, I saw someone I never thought I would see at the door.

The eldest brother, Ji Jianguo, and the third brother, Ji Jianshe, were standing on tiptoe, peering through the crowd.

"Little sister! Over here!" Ji Jianshe waved his arms.

It turned out that You Yong was worried, so he specially sent a telegram to his hometown.

Without saying a word, Ji Jianguo borrowed the production team's tractor and came to pick her up.

"How did the exam go?" Ji Jianguo asked cautiously on the way back.

"It's alright, I should be selected."

"That's good...that's good..."

The two brothers breathed a sigh of relief, worried that Ji Xiaosong would be unhappy if they didn't do well on the exam.
