Chapter 1538: Chapter 1538: Officially Starting the Job 2

Besides clothing and daily necessities, Ye Xiangqian also brought Ye Yan’s living expenses and Grain Tickets.

Thus, the left-behind child Ye Yan became a part of the Lu Family, happily going to and from school every day with Fubao. Where was there any trace of rebellion? He was obviously a refined, gentle, and well-behaved child—also very diligent.

However, once he was at school, he reverted to his previous cold demeanor. Apart from Fubao, he did not give anyone else the chance to get close to him.

After putting away the hundred yuan Ye Xiangqian returned to her, Feng Qingxue lifted the cloth over the sewing machine and began making clothes for Ye Yan.

The fabric was brought from the Capital—there’s no use wasting overseas remittance coupons.

Ye Yan’s clothes had become too small and very worn, pieces patched four or five times. Ye Xiangqian likely hadn’t noticed this. Feng Qingxue wanted to rush out two sets of autumn clothes for him before officially starting work. Luckily, this sewing machine saved a lot of time.

This somewhat old but still usable sewing machine was bought at half price by Lu Jiang when someone couldn’t take it with them upon leaving the military compound.

Fubao’s quickly finished Dacron outfit on her first day of school owed much to this sewing machine.

Speaking of the Dacron clothing, Fubao and the triplets only wore them once before refusing to wear them again. The autumn heat was fierce, and the children were always active, especially Lu Erxiong, who was constantly jumping around. They ended up soaked in sweat, and when the Dacron clothes got wet, they stuck to their bodies, making them unbreathable and very uncomfortable.

"Things that everyone likes aren’t necessarily the best." Fubao finally understood this principle. From that point forward, she stopped coveting objects simply because others liked them—unless she genuinely liked them herself.

While testing Ye Yan’s clothes, Feng Qingxue remarked, "It’s good you’ve realized that. Each of you seems incapable of learning without hitting a wall first."

She had long warned them that Dacron clothes were uncomfortable to wear, but no one believed her.

Fubao’s cheeks reddened a bit, feeling embarrassed. She shyly asked, "Then I won’t wear them anymore. But what about the brand-new clothes? It would be such a waste to just leave them in the trunk."

"It’s okay. The clothes you wore as children, I’ve gradually given away to others. The clothes you no longer wear will also find new owners who truly appreciate them." Diapers and clothes worn by the five kids when they were little were almost entirely given away—many to people who came to the door asking for them. They didn’t disdain old clothes; instead, they believed wearing them was beneficial for children’s growth. Back in the old days, there was the tradition of ’Hundred Family Clothes’!

Fubao breathed a sigh of relief. Not wasting things was good, not wasting was very good.

Using the Dacron incident as an example, Feng Qingxue took the opportunity to educate the children thoroughly. Afterward, she washed, dried, and packed away the clothes they didn’t wear anymore to pass on to those in need.

After wrapping up these household matters, Feng Qingxue officially started her new job.

Due to her proficiency in emergency care, the military hospital assigned Feng Qingxue to the emergency department. On her first day, she treated a patient experiencing an acute illness and a soldier who was severely injured, pulling each of them back from the brink of death.

Those who had been waiting to see Feng Qingxue fail instantly fell silent.

Although many people said Feng Qingxue was exceptionally talented, skilled in both Western and Chinese medicine, there were still quite a few who felt her abilities had been exaggerated and that her acceptance into the hospital with regimental-level benefits was solely due to Lu Jiang.

The emergency department alternated between periods of intense busyness and quiet, but Feng Qingxue was constantly occupied.

She continued to study tirelessly and sought advice from senior physicians at the hospital. Her humble and inquisitive attitude greatly pleased the veteran doctors, who were willing to guide her attentively until she received a reply regarding her medical research paper.
