Chapter 188: Chapter 0188 Learning Nursing 4_1

Even though she didn’t get the answer she was hoping for, Colonel Ye already considered Feng Qingxue as one of his own, a seemingly gentle, beautiful girl who had a strong spirit and open-mindedness, a wonderful girl that was hard to find.

"Xiaoxue, what are your plans for the future?" Colonel Ye asked Feng Qingxue as they sat for a meal.

The table was laden with a pot of braised pork, garlic mashed cucumber, cold mixed green bean sprouts, green pepper stir-fried eggs — it was quite a feast.

The main course was rice and pancakes, because the dough for the steamed buns had not risen.

Feng Qingxue, after serving Lu Jiang the pig’s trotter soup cooked by the head chef, chopped off the tender pork skin with some chopsticks for Lu Jiang. She then spoon-fed him the soup, soaking it in the torn pancakes pieces.

Upon hearing Colonel Ye’s question, Feng Qingxue pondered for a moment and replied, "My most important task right now is to take care of Ajiang. I plan to use the time of Ajiang’s hospitalization to learn some nursing knowledge from the doctors and nurses in the hospital. As Doctor Guo said, after Ajiang recovers, he’ll need another surgery to remove the four shrapnel still in his body. That means a long time will be needed before Ajiang fully recovers, and he needs careful care during this time. If I could learn those skills, I wouldn’t need to bother doctors and nurses."

It never hurts to have more skills; Feng Qingxue wasn’t afraid of hardship or fatigue. Having some medical knowledge would be beneficial, and who knew whether Lu Jiang might get hurt in the future? Knowing these skills now, she’d be more prepared to take care of Lu Jiang in the future.

Lu Jiang immediately turned to look at Feng Qingxue, his eyes filled with a tenderness he himself didn’t even notice.

Colonel Ye was very impressed with Feng Qingxue’s thinking. He could clearly see she was a very ambitious girl and he was willing to support her. After a while, he said, "I’ll talk to Doctor Guo later and ask her to arrange for you to study with the hospital nurses first. Once you grasp the basic nursing knowledge, Doctor Guo will personally train you for a while. Doctor Guo is one of the best doctors in the military hospital, coming from a family of medicine and proficient in both Chinese and Western medicine. How much you can learn is up to you!"

"Thank you, Colonel!" Feng Qingxue was over the moon.

With the approval of Colonel Ye and arrangements by Dr. Guo, coupled with Feng Qingxue’s initial intention to learn for the better care of Lu Jiang, the nurses in the hospital bestowed her with their full knowledge. Soon, they discovered that she had a remarkable talent for it; whether it was injections, changing medications, bandaging wounds, or performing first aid on patients, she was quick to learn and very skillful.

Furthermore, Feng Qingxue had an excellent memory. Although she was not at the level of a photographic memory, she could remember most of the names and formulas of the medicines she had seen. After seeing them a couple times, she knew them by heart.

The care of Lu Jiang was mostly done by Feng Qingxue and not by other nurses.

Later, as he was recovering well, the hospital no longer needed to change his medication.

At first, the hospital arranged an experienced nurse to guide Feng Qingxue through the process. When they saw how flawlessly she completed the task, they handed the responsibility over to her, further deepening the bond between her and Lu Jiang.

Feng Qingxue’s thirst for learning was nothing short of astounding.

Not only was she responsible for Lu Jiang’s medication change and nursing duties, she was also in charge of his daily meals, made regular trips out to buy rice and vegetables, continued to study with the nurses, occasionally went to the obstetrics department to broaden her knowledge, all while somehow finding time to hang out in the Chinese and Western medicine rooms, ceaselessly learning to identify various types of traditional Chinese herbs and Western medicines.
