Chapter 241: Chapter 184: Parting Ways_2

Old Master Zhou, feigning interest in the newspaper, gave a light cough and said, "I heard Song Xiaoming’s eldest daughter-in-law is pregnant with twins. Sigh, Old Song is about to become a great-grandfather!"

Song Xiaoming is Song Xiaoyu’s brother; Old Song, of course, refers to Song Xiaoyu’s father, who is about the same age as Old Master Zhou and was of a similar rank before both retired. Now they spend their days leisurely at home, reading newspapers, playing chess—Old Song is an old chess buddy of Old Master Zhou.

As for Old Madam Zhou and Old Madam Song, they’ve been old sisters all their lives. However, the difference between women and men is that women are always comparing—comparing their husbands’ ranks when they were young, their sons’ achievements after having them, who became grandparents first, and now, whose grandchildren have grown up, they begin to compete over who becomes a great-grandparent first...

Old Master Zhou’s remark was clearly a reminder to Old Madam Zhou that you can only hold a great-grandchild if you have a granddaughter-in-law, which would straighten your back in front of Old Madam Song!

True to his intention, his words caused Old Madam Zhou to immediately lose her momentum, and after a while, she waved at Zhou Mikang, "Move aside, I need to use the phone!"

"Yes!" Zhou Mikang quickly moved to one side, attentively placing the phone on Old Madam Zhou’s lap.

She simply gave him a look. She had never seen this stubborn grandson so concerned about someone else’s business. Otherwise, why would that stubborn boy come to ask her for help?

Old Madam Zhou intended to take advantage of this opportunity to properly sort him out—when would she get another chance to enjoy such a moment? If Regimental Chief Tongzi knew what Old Madam Zhou was thinking, who knows what he would feel about it.

Anyway, from the next day on, Song Xiaoyu, although still not too enthusiastic about Chuxia, had officially begun to teach her.

Nudging her, she placed three books in front of Chuxia with the demand that Chuxia be randomly tested in a month, and if she scored over 80, she could move on to the next stage of learning.

Of course, Song Xiaoyu also said that with this pace, Chuxia could finish five years’ worth of courses in just one year. Whether she could meet this requirement or not was up to her fate.

Chuxia was thrilled, thinking that if she finished five years’ worth of courses in one year, she could skip directly to pursuing her Master’s or Doctorate, couldn’t she?

Of course, she only dared to think about it; if she asked out loud, she guessed Song Xiaoyu might slap her face with a book until it swelled.

The medical team’s test scores were also out. Although Chuxia hadn’t spent much time in the team to attend classes these past two months, she still achieved the second-best score in the entire team.

The first was naturally Wu Jingbo’s.

The results of others were posted, and their assignments would be revealed three days later.

This batch of medical trainees was considered a pilot program, adopting the method of the experienced teaching the rookies. This meant that after basic training, excellent doctors and nurses from Division A would select their apprentices, meticulously instruct them for a year, and then they would begin internships assigned to various medical units. Those who qualified would become official members; those who did not would be sent home.

Fortunately, in this exam, there were no students who failed; next, it was time for the masters to pick their apprentices.

Whether the students would focus on medicine or nursing was based on the comprehensive evaluation of their regular test performances and the results of this exam.

After all, it was not a matter of simply choosing whatever they wanted to learn.

Three days later, Zeng Meili appeared in front of everyone with a stack of papers.

She glanced around at the excited yet anxious faces, her eyes slightly red. After three months of daily companionship, she was reluctant to part with them.

"At ease!"

"Attention!"

"After I read the list, the Women’s Medical Team will be temporarily disbanded. Of course, this isn’t a real dissolution, but a process for everyone to learn knowledge and skills.

I hope that when our medical unit officially joins the troops in a year, every one of you standing here today will be a part of it!

No matter how many students are recruited in the future, you are all unique because you are the first batch—or possibly, the last batch.

With the news I just received, A Medical University has already started enrolling students this year. So starting next year, there may no longer be this kind of training format. That means you are unique!

This form of training is only for the strong. You must complete what others learn in five years, in two to three years.

So I can tell you certainly that when you become official one day, it means you are the strongest!"

"Clap, clap, clap..."

Zeng Meili’s words were so motivating that the applause from this small group of one hundred people sounded louder than that of a larger group of five hundred!

Next was the reading of names and scores, and who had been claimed by which doctor or nurse—well, ’claimed’ was probably the only word to describe it—and it was one-on-one.

Liu Meijun, who got along very well with Chuxia, was to become an assistant nurse, and Zhang Erniu, as expected, also became an assistant nurse.

Qiao Ningyi, Yang Xiaoli, Lin Mengran, and Qu Xiaojing were to be assistant doctors.

Yuan Mengmeng, Qi Jihong, and Sun Shangmei were to become assistant nurses.

Including Chuxia in the count, the ratio of medical to nursing was exactly 5:5. Among the ten classes, this was a class with relatively good results.

Not having reached the expected goal, Liu Meijun was somewhat depressed.

Chuxia gently patted her back, without saying a word, as any comfort at this time seemed insincere. Silent encouragement was what the other person needed most.

As for Zhang Erniu, she was thrilled just to be staying. So when it was announced that someone had chosen her, her smile reached her ears.

Seeing her like this, Liu Meijun’s gloomy mood brightened somewhat, and she said to Chuxia with a smile, "Actually, being a nurse is quite good. At least I have a chance to become a head nurse; you don’t."
