Quick Transmigration: The Carefree Life of a Background Character

Chapter 129 Returning to the Capital 25

Although Chen Anye also wanted to eat Ziyue's cooking and wanted to spend more time with her, he was still worried that she would get tired.

"Won't this be too tiring? Let's skip it. We can just pack some food to take home later."

"It's okay, I'm not tired. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. There's no way you'll have me cook for you. I can only cook for you occasionally."

"Of course, how could I possibly treat you as a cook? I couldn't bear to do that," Chen Anye quickly retorted.

hum~

So the two of them went and bought some more meat and vegetables.

The clinic doors were closed at night. It was still cold in March, and a light drizzle was falling outside.

Chen Anye went to call Chen Sisi and Chen Siyou, and the three of them entered Ziyue's courtyard through the side gate.

In the kitchen, Chen Siyou was in charge of starting the fire, Chen Sisi was in charge of washing the vegetables, and Chen Anye was assisting Ziyue.

After a while, the fragrance filled the air.

Chen Sisi couldn't help but swallow as she smelled the aroma.

I thought to myself: Wow, it smells so good, it must taste delicious!

With many hands making light work, after about an hour and a half of work, dishes such as minced meat and tofu, braised pork with preserved mustard greens, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, stir-fried green beans with shredded pork, hawthorn spare ribs, braised beef brisket with tomatoes, osmanthus-flavored glutinous rice lotus root, candied sweet potatoes, braised crucian carp in soy sauce, and fish-flavored eggplant were all served.

Finally, Ziyue also made several servings of double-skin milk pudding.

Looking at the delicious-looking food on the table, Chen Anye, Chen Siyou, and Chen Sisi felt that all the meals they had eaten over the years had been a waste.

After the meal, Chen Anye and his siblings Chen Siyou and Chen Sisi were all full, sitting in their chairs with similar silly smiles on their faces.

Once they had recovered, Ziyue ordered them without any hesitation, "Go wash the pots and pans."

The three of them eagerly accepted the order and quickly went about their tasks: some washed the dishes, some wiped the tables, and some swept the floor. In no time, they had cleaned the kitchen spotless.

-

That day, the village chief suddenly came to the clinic, accompanied by a middle-aged man in his thirties who wore glasses and had a refined demeanor.

Ziyue stepped forward: "Village Chief, is there anything I can help you with?"

The village chief introduced the person next to him: "Comrade Xiaoqing, this is like this, this is the director of the county hospital, Director Cheng Yuan, he has something to discuss with you."

Ziyue then turned to the refined man who said he was the director of the county hospital and greeted him politely, "Director Cheng, hello. May I ask what brings you here?"

"Comrade Qing, hello. I wonder if you still remember the day before yesterday when you saved an elderly man in his fifties on the street. That man was my father. It was thanks to your timely rescue that he was able to get help."

Cheng Yuan looked at the young girl in front of him and first expressed his gratitude.

Then he thought of the opinions about her that he had heard from the villages along the way.

In a flash, he changed his mind from his original plan to simply express his gratitude.

"I have come here with the sincere intention of inviting you to work at our county hospital. I hope you will consider it, Dr. Qing."

"Don't worry, everything is paid the same as regular doctors in the hospital, 20 yuan per month. There are also staff dormitories, but if you don't want to live in the dormitory, you can rent a house yourself. As for meals, there is a canteen in the hospital that provides three meals a day."

Cheng Yuan genuinely wanted to hire Dr. Qing, who, despite her young age, possessed excellent medical skills, to work at their hospital.

He had already inquired and learned that she had successfully rescued a pregnant woman from a critical condition, and both mother and child were safe.

She usually treats all kinds of illnesses in the village, and she is very skilled in acupuncture. She is a rare talent.

That's why he suddenly thought of trying to get the person to his hospital.

Upon hearing Dean Cheng's purpose, Ziyue said, "Dean Cheng, as you know, I am also an educated youth who came to the countryside. I am preparing to take the college entrance examination this year. I appreciate your kindness and am very grateful for your recognition. However, I am sorry that I may have to disappoint you."

Cheng Yuan understood, of course, since most of the educated youth nowadays wanted to take the exam to return to the city.

Therefore, he was prepared to be rejected. It was just a spur-of-the-moment idea, and he was thinking, "What if I manage to recruit him?"

I'm not angry now that I've been rejected.

"I understand, but I'm still very grateful for your help to my father the day before yesterday. This is just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it."

Ziyue did not refuse, accepted the gift, and politely saw the person out.

For Ziyue, this was just a minor incident; the more important thing was the exam that was about to begin.

Soon, March 15th arrived.

Ziyue had already moved into Chen Anye's courtyard in the county, so she could go directly to school for the exam instead of having to get up early in the morning and travel from Dahe Village to the county.

Chen Siyou also has staff dormitories in the county.

Ziyue, Chen Anye, and Chen Siyou met at the school gate and then went to their respective exam rooms.

After two days of exams, some people walked out of the exam hall with a relaxed expression, while others burst into tears.

Some people silently comforted themselves: It's okay, it's okay, there's another exam in June, three months left, there's still time to study, he'll definitely do well next time!

……

Seeing the calm and relaxed expressions on Chen Anye and Chen Siyou's faces, Ziyue knew they had it all figured out.

They were already good students with excellent grades, and they had been reviewing in advance, so this exam was not a particularly difficult challenge for them.

After finishing the exam, Ziyue prepared to return to Beijing.

Because her brother Qing Ziji's wedding date is coming soon.

She also sent a telegram back, advising her brother not to postpone the wedding date that had been set long ago for her sake, and that she planned to return to Beijing first after finishing her exams.

As for the notification letter, she was afraid that it would take too long to arrive and cause delays.

She took the exam here, so the notification letter would naturally be sent here as well, unlike in later generations when you could simply fill in an address and have it mailed home, no matter where it was.

Originally, I planned to take Chen Anye back to meet my parents, but things didn't go as planned and the college entrance exam was brought forward.

There was no other way but to let Chen Anye stay and wait to receive her admission notice.

After that, he went to Beijing with Chen Siyou and Chen Sisi to find her.

The schools they applied to were all universities in Beijing.
