Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

Chapter 336: Chinese Medicine Clinic Recruitment

In the evening, Lin Shaoyang stood at the gate of her yard carrying a box.

Jiang Yanqiu said with a smile: "Busy man, why are you back so early today?"

I've been here for so long, but I rarely meet Lin Shaoyang.

Lin Shaoyang said, "Let's go in and talk."

After entering the yard, Lin Shaoyang said, "I won't work in the machinery factory anymore. My work won't be as busy as before."

Jiang Yanqiu jokingly said, "Then you will be a thoroughgoing intellectual from now on."

Lin Shaoyang also smiled and said, "Don't look down on me because I'm just a junior high school student. I'm more than qualified to teach those college students, but I still need to improve myself in the future. You too, don't just read medical books, don't fall behind in the knowledge you learned in junior high and high school. If you have the chance, go get a high school diploma. It might be useful when you're applying for a professional title in the future."

Jiang Yanqiu didn't say much and agreed readily: "Okay, I'll give it to you. I have now been promoted from an apprentice to an intern. Our manager said that if I were a high school student, I could be directly converted to a regular employee."

Lin Shaoyang was a little surprised, but not surprised, and said, "That's amazing! You must have gotten a raise, right? Remember to treat us when you get paid."

It takes at least three years for junior high school students to transition from apprentices to interns. Unexpectedly, it only took Jiang Yanqiu more than half a year. It seems that she is quite capable.

Jiang Yanqiu readily agreed: "Sure, when it gets colder, I'll invite you to my place for hot pot."

"Okay." Lin Shaoyang then pointed to the box in his hand and said, "This is a fan awarded by our factory. The school gave me one last year. This is an extra one. Do you want it?"

Jiang Yanqiu said excitedly, "Yes, of course I would. You're such a timely help! I was just wondering where to get a fan, and you brought it to me. How much is it? I'll give it to you."

Lin Shaoyang originally wanted to give it to her without asking for money, but he knew Jiang Yanqiu's personality and she would definitely not accept it without asking for money.

So he quoted the market price: "Just give me 60, and then treat me to a meal."

"It's no problem for you to treat me to a few meals." It was so hot that I couldn't sleep well at night.

Before leaving, Lin Shaoyang specifically reminded him, "Remember to tell Tian Mi that it was bought from a trust."

Tian Mi didn't care about her previous relationship with Lin Shaoyang. If she knew that Lin Shaoyang had bought a fan for Jiang Yanqiu, she would definitely ask him to help get one without hesitation.

It’s not easy to get a fan nowadays. He exchanged this fan with someone else.

Jiang Yanqiu agreed without giving it much thought and said, "Okay."

In the evening, Tian Mi came and asked about the fan when she saw it. Jiang Yanqiu said that it was bought with a trust.

Tian Mi said in surprise: "You are so lucky! You can actually find a second-hand fan for sale in this season. I have been to many places and have never come across one."

She looked at the fan and said, "That's the idiot who even sold a new fan as second-hand."

Jiang Yanqiu didn't know how to answer her.

Tian Mi continued, "I told Zhang Yue and He Xiaojing that I didn't tell them you were the one who introduced them. I told them it was arranged by the neighborhood committee to avoid trouble from Zhang's sister-in-law and the Ye family. Now that the family's old ox is gone, some people are probably going to be restless."

The two of them took care of all the housework at home. Zhang Yue was lucky because she had her mother to help her.

He Xiaojing is simply a workhorse, getting up early and going to bed late. When buying groceries, she has to explain every penny clearly, otherwise Ye's mother will scold her.

Jiang Yanqiu smiled and said, "That's why I asked you to help introduce them. Your street office is the department that manages everything, and they don't dare to offend you."

The next day, Jiang Yanqiu went to work early and saw Zhang Yue and Ye's third daughter-in-law He Xiaojing already waiting at the door of the Chinese medicine clinic.

Jiang Yanqiu took them directly to find Sun Yufang and she didn't care about what happened next.

However, after the interview, Sun Yufang came to find Jiang Yanqiu and said, "There's one person I actually know. That Zhang Yue's mother was sent here in the middle of the night two summers ago. She had an infected wound and a high fever and fainted.

The next day, when her fever hadn't subsided, her sister-in-law said the medical expenses were a waste and there was no one to do the housework at home, so she wanted to take her away. Later, when we told her that the medical expenses were free and her actions were tantamount to murdering the returned educated youth, she kept quiet.

Jiang Yanqiu sighed and said, "People still need to have jobs. If her mother hadn't given her job to her sister-in-law, or if she had kept the job herself, how could her sister-in-law dare to be so arrogant? For the sake of their wages, she would have endured a little."

Sun Yufang also agreed with a smile: "That's right. By the way, is your monthly salary of 20 yuan enough for you?"

Jiang Yanqiu said proudly: "I didn't make clothes this year, and I still have a lot left over every month."

Zhao Lanlan bought some fabric from Gu Qingqing last year and used it to make several sets of clothes for her, so she doesn't need to make new ones this year.

As for food, apart from the normal supplies, you can’t buy anything else even if you want to.

"That's pretty good. I was worried you girls didn't have enough money!"

Then Sun Yufang introduced Zhang Yue and her partner to Jiang Yanqiu: "Zhang Yue has a good theoretical foundation and may be able to become a formal doctor. Although the other one has no foundation, she is also very hardworking and smart. I asked her to memorize medicinal herbs, and she memorized two medicines in half an hour. However, her household registration is still with the production team.

I always let them work as temporary workers for a month. If their families don't cause trouble and they are good people, they can stay. The other one should only be an apprentice.

But Zhang Yue can at least be transferred to an intern position. She worked as a barefoot doctor when she was sent to the countryside, and barefoot doctors are also considered regular employees. She has five years of medical experience, so as long as her skills are qualified, she can be transferred to a regular employee.

Jiang Yanqiu said in surprise, "I didn't expect them to be so impressive. Aside from us educated youth friends, I don't know much about the others in our compound, and I don't really know their specific circumstances. I asked my friend to tell them, but she was afraid of trouble, so she said it was arranged by the neighborhood committee. Don't make it hard on yourself if they can't do it."

"No, you said this is a place where lives are at stake, and we can't just consider personal feelings."

Sun Yufang then asked curiously, "Is there no one in your family who wants to come? This is a rare opportunity."

She was worried that Jiang Yanqiu would feel embarrassed to introduce her family members, so she reminded her specifically.

Jiang Yanqiu quickly shook her head and said, "Everyone in my family has a job now. My eldest sister just gave birth to twins this year, and there's no one to take care of the children, so the job has to be given to her brother-in-law. I have a younger brother who is only fourteen years old and has just entered the eighth grade. I don't have any cousins, and my sister-in-law is unemployed. It would be a shame to introduce someone to her, so I'm too lazy to introduce her."

"Okay." The little girl was really direct.

The next day, in addition to Zhang Yue and He Xiaojing, there were five new people who reported in. The other five were relatives or family members introduced by the staff of the Chinese medicine clinic.

Jiang Yanqiu no longer needed to prepare medicinal materials and could still see patients with Dr. Wang in the morning.

For ordinary patients, Dr. Wang would let her take charge and write her own prescriptions, and Dr. Wang would just check them.

For seriously ill patients, Dr. Wang would ask her to express her opinions before making any comments.

In the afternoon, I help prepare medicine in the pharmacy. This is much easier than preparing medicinal materials, and I can learn a lot.

I didn't expect that when the Chinese medicine clinic was recruiting, someone would actually come and cause trouble.
