Transmigrated as Cannon Fodder — I Rise to Female Lead Through Hard Work-Chapter 102: Don’t Underestimate Nurses

Anmin personally delivered the clothes she bought for Ding Weihuo and Li Hongying. Both were beyond happy. Anmin kept a little of the fabric for herself and sent the rest to Li Hongying. As for the food, Li Hongying knew that Yi Roujing liked it, and she gave most of it to her, leaving the remainder to be divided among Ding Anguo and Ding Anmin.

As night fell, Yi Roujing had Ding Anguo secretly deliver the things prepared for Mr. Qi and then started packing for Ding Ancheng. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

There should be no lack of food at home for him; malted milk, sugar, canned goods, and biscuits were all packed.

"No need for me; I’m not particularly fond of eating," Ding Ancheng said, reaching out to block.

"Go ahead and eat, it’s delicious," Yi Roujing continued to pack. There wasn’t much nutrition available now, meals were average, and snacks were scarce. "Everyone should replenish themselves a bit."

"Just no fruit," Yi Roujing mentioned. Last time when they went to the provincial city, she ate fresh fruit, which is rarely seen here.

Currently, there’s no off-season fruit, and the variety is pitifully scarce. She’s been here for so long and hasn’t had any at home, except for canned fruit, of course.

The next night, after mentioning the fruit, Yi Roujing received a basket of strawberries and a bag of lychees, all incredibly fresh, brought by Ding Ancheng.

"Where did these come from?" Yi Roujing asked joyfully.

"Got someone to get them for me, but the quantity isn’t much," Ding Ancheng explained with a smile.

Yi Roujing was thrilled, washed the fruits herself, cleaned the strawberries thoroughly, and poured out a plate of lychees, then invited the family to eat together.

"Like it so much? I’ll find a way to get more for you next time." As they lay down to sleep, Ding Ancheng noticed Yi Roujing’s smile hadn’t faded, and feeling happy himself, hugged her close and coaxed softly.

"It’s not that I love eating them, just be careful, getting caught could be disastrous," Yi Roujing reminded, not wanting anyone harmed over desires.

Upon hearing this, Ding Ancheng tightened his hold, "Hmm, I understand."

"Hey, too tight, I can’t breathe," Yi Roujing began to struggle, prompting Ding Ancheng to ease his grip.

Gentle laughter came to her ears, making Yi Roujing’s ears turn red as she moved forward to distance herself from Ding Ancheng, feeling he was becoming increasingly strange.

Ding Ancheng pulled her back and sighed, saying, "We are husband and wife."

Obligations between married couples crept into Yi Roujing’s mind. She stiffened, nervous about whether to agree if Ding Ancheng desired something more, or to kick him off the bed.

Ding Ancheng pretended not to notice, simply holding her to sleep without extra actions, allowing Yi Roujing to relax and eventually fall asleep.

With the person in front of him breathing steadily, Ding Ancheng opened his eyes in the darkness, playing with Yi Roujing’s hair. He knew she must like him somewhat—otherwise, she’d not allow him to kiss and hug her, although she had reservations.

Recalling her past mentions of divorce made Ding Ancheng feel upset, knowing his inaction during those first three months after marriage hurt her deeply. How much could he make up in these two months?

He’d first let her get used to him constantly being around, and he turned Yi Roujing over so she faced him, kissed the tip of her nose, and slowly fell asleep.

In the Huaixi County government building, although it was a holiday and late at night, a light still shone in an office on the second floor. County Chief Lou Chongshang frowned slightly as he looked at a document.

The document was urgently sent from the city; it was delivered directly to his home early this morning. He thought it was about something significant, but it was actually commendation for a woman in Tongxian Commune who showed bravery, accompanied by a reward of twenty yuan.

This wasn’t anything major, but the city specified that Huaixi County should reward this woman with a job.

Arranging work and having a city-issued document isn’t a big deal, but the city said this woman knew something about medicine and should be placed in the workers’ hospital of the food factory.

The nominal head of the food factory workers’ hospital is Chen Youyi, the director of Huaixi County’s health bureau. Lou Chongshang and Chen Youyi attended the same schools from elementary through high school and became colleagues after graduating university, working hard in their respective fields, with an excellent relationship.

Because of this, Lou Chongshang knew well of Chen Youyi’s character, who couldn’t tolerate mediocrity, especially in the medical system. Letting just anyone into the hospital could cause major troubles.

Chen Youyi would certainly not agree to let someone without medical training into his hospital. Lou Chongshang sighed, tossed the document on the table, and packed up to leave for the day.

This amazing opportunity for work wasn’t something Yi Roujing had ever thought of. On the morning of the eighth, she sent Ding Ancheng off on a tractor and went about her daily business.

At ten in the morning on May 8th, Lou Chongshang called Chen Youyi to his office.

"What can’t be said over the phone, you just had to call me here; what’s the big fuss?" Chen Youyi was blunt with Lou Chongshang, especially since it was just the two of them.

"Take a look," Lou Chongshang handed the city’s document to Chen Youyi.

Chen Youyi took the document and read it slowly, his eyes widening, his face growing darker, until finally he flung it back on the table, standing to curse, "What the hell is the city doing; meddling around, even with the hospital."

"What is a hospital? It’s a place to save lives. Randomly arranging people into the hospital to mess up wasn’t their responsibility?"

"Why should bravery be rewarded by forcibly placing someone in a hospital? Old Lou, I don’t agree to this. Help reject it for me." With that, he plopped down and drank a cup of tea.

"I have other matters, I’ll leave..." Finishing his tea, Chen Youyi wanted to head out.

"Old Chen, I thought about it all night, knowing you wouldn’t agree, but the city also said that this woman saved a life through bravery. Even if she can’t be a doctor, surely a nurse is okay? So..."

"A nurse is okay?" Chen Youyi was displeased. "Old Lou, do you know what nurses do? They give injections and dispense medication. Would you feel comfortable having someone untrained do your injections and dispense your medication?"

"Don’t underestimate nurses."

Lou Chongshang sulked, rubbing his forehead, "But even if she doesn’t understand, can’t experienced nurses mentor, teach her?"

"Even if mentoring and teaching, she needs to know basic knowledge, right? I don’t care where she goes as a doctor or nurse, but she cannot work in the food factory’s workers’ hospital," Chen Youyi persisted.
