Chapter 229

~8 min read 1,409 words

There were three military wives who took the military medical exam this time, and only Shen Man passed; the military wives in the family quarters were all talking about it.

Except for a few military wives who didn't go out much and were poorly informed, the other military wives had spread the news from ten to a hundred by last night.

Coincidentally, Sun Meili didn't know.

For the past few months, she had been staying at home because of a miscarriage and hadn't gone out.

Her stepdaughter knew she had made a big mistake and had already been sent back to her hometown; her husband had been given a thorough ideological education by the political commissar and now had a much gentler attitude toward her, even saying he was cautious.

But hurt was hurt; her womb might never be able to conceive again!

She always felt that everyone around her was watching her make a fool of herself and laughing at her behind her back.

Consequently, she became more inferior and more embarrassed to go out.

Hearing the news about Shen Man suddenly, she was stunned at first, and then envious.

Shen Man, she heard she was pregnant with twins.

Look, she married well, had a good life, everything was good.

Now she also relied on her own ability to get into military medical school and had an iron rice bowl.

Unlike her, one slip led to that kind of regret; anyway, her life was bad.

She didn't even understand her former self: why did she have to be jealous of Shen Man, why did she have to be sour toward her?

Now she knew, it was unnecessary.

Was it so hard to admit that someone else was better than you?

Touching her flat lower abdomen, she couldn't help but feel dim.

If her child hadn't been miscarried, would her belly be very big now?

Feeling sad, tears streamed down.

The sobbing made the military wives stop talking and turn their heads one after another to find the source of the crying.

When everyone saw it was Sun Meili, they were all a bit at a loss.

Although Sun Meili used to have many small faults and loved to take advantage of others, a few months ago, she was pushed down the stairs by her stepdaughter and miscarried, and hadn't come out much since, rarely seen by anyone.

Seeing her suddenly, and still crying, the natural sympathy of women took over; they put aside their past prejudices and comforted her one after another.

"Meili, don't be sad. Life still has to go on. You take good care of your body, maybe you can recover."

"Yes, Meili, medicine is also advancing, maybe there will be a chance to conceive again in the future."

"Alright, stop crying. We'll take you with us when we gather seafood in the future."

"Is your body feeling better? Come downstairs to sit, pick vegetables, and chat when you have time."

The military wives comforted her one after another, putting aside past grievances.

Sun Meili's sobbing gradually quieted down, and she looked at the military wives gratefully.

Before, she had a bad mouth, a bad heart, and always took advantage of people, offending many.

Now, they didn't hold grudges and were still willing to take her to play; she really... wuwuwu.

"Thank you all, I'm sorry, I was bad before, I will change my bad habits in the future."

Sun Meili apologized while wiping her tears, promising she would change in the future.

"Mm, knowing one's mistakes and correcting them is the greatest virtue."

"Distance tests a horse's strength, time reveals a person's heart. As long as you are willing to change, we are still willing to accept you."

"Alright, alright, stop crying."

The military wives were still very united; not for anything else, but so their men could be worry-free at the front, while they stabilized the rear, striving not to add trouble to their men.

Just as the political commissar said, the Chairman had praised it: women can also hold up half the sky!

The family quarters were not a place for forming cliques or small groups.

But a place for unity, friendship, mutual help, and common progress for the small family and the big family!

Sun Meili could be considered a blessing in disguise, from being disliked by everyone to being sympathized with and accepted again.

The weekend time passed in a flash.

Monday morning, after breakfast, Shen Man followed her sister-in-law and walked to the hospital to work.

Although both men offered to pick them up, they were both refused.

In the late stage of pregnancy, moderate exercise would make the delivery smoother.

After the two arrived at the hospital, Pei Yan Ting sent her sister to the new employee training room, then told her sister she could go to her office to find her if anything happened, and then wouldn't disturb her sister's training anymore.

"Shen Man, I... I moved to the intern dormitory yesterday afternoon, so excited. By the way, what subjects do you want to study?"

Zhou Hongyu's enthusiastic smiling face leaned over. There was no way around it; four interns were admitted this time, and the second place and the one tied with her for third were both male comrades. As a female comrade, it wasn't easy to be too enthusiastic toward male comrades.

Shen Man found a seat and responded with a smile:

"Me? I choose cardiothoracic surgery and gynecology. How about you? What are your plans?"

"Me? I thought about it all night. I want to choose orthopedics and neurosurgery. My grandmother and aunts are all getting on in years and have many physical ailments. I want to study these two subjects well so I can help them reduce their pain in the future..."

When Zhou Hongyu said this, her eyes were full of the light of the fearless.

These two subjects were both highly difficult.

They required strong professional quality and inevitably involved finding the lesions in practice...

"That's great. Keep studying hard, and you will definitely get your wish in the future."

Shen Man naturally wouldn't pour cold water on her and said encouraging words in a high-sounding way.

Actually, the fearless were those who didn't know. Studying one or two subjects out of liking and passion was the best state and the best time.

Like her, she had already studied them and was now studying them again, going through the psychological journey once more.

To put it bluntly, she could barely take care of herself, so she shouldn't dampen others' confidence.

Anyone who studied medicine knew that no matter what you studied, it wouldn't be simple or easy.

Because, a slight carelessness meant harming others and yourself.

Therefore, everyone who studied medicine would go all out, striving to memorize everything without missing a single punctuation mark.

Liu Jiaotong and Zhang Yibing turned their heads in unison to look at the two new colleagues talking, not looking down on them just because they were female comrades.

They were all on the same path, choosing to study and practice medicine for the development and inheritance of medicine.

No one was nobler than anyone else; it was only about who was more diligent and had more talent.

Talent was something that was really hard to say.

Fortunately, they both had clear goals and firmly chose the subjects they wanted to study.

In the end, Shen Man confirmed her choice of cardiothoracic surgery and gynecology.

Zhou Hongyu chose orthopedics and neurosurgery, Liu Jiaotong chose ophthalmology and orthopedics, and Zhang Yibing chose cardiology and dentistry.

Actually, everyone was different; only Zhou Hongyu and Liu Jiaotong had one overlapping subject.

Now, the one who would have a headache was the attending physician who would lead them.

After confirming the subjects, the attending physician arranged for the four to go to different departments to find masters.

Shen Man wasn't sure about others, but she was lucky to be assigned to her sister-in-law's department.

"This is the first place in this year's medical exam, Shen Man. I won't introduce her much. In the future, Doctor Pei, please lead her well and strive to cultivate another excellent talent for the hospital as soon as possible."

"Received!"

Pei Yan Ting was serious, as if she didn't know Shen Man, and guaranteed she would definitely lead her well.

After the director left, the sister-in-law and sister smiled at each other, everything understood without words.
