"Ahem! Comrade Shen, I wish you success in your work."

The next morning, Ye Zhengting was ready to leave before six o'clock. Before leaving, he nodded to Shen Fenghe, who had just opened the bedroom door.

"Thanks!"

Shen Fenghe chuckled, gathered her long hair which she hadn't yet combed, and asked somewhat shyly, "What time will you be back today?"

"Around seven or eight o'clock, what's wrong?" Ye Zhengting asked.

Shen Fenghe brushed her bangs aside again. "Then I'll try my best to finish cooking before you get back."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhengting was slightly taken aback before remembering that the two were husband and wife.

A marriage is about living together, and it's inevitable that you'll have to eat and sleep regularly.

"Then I'll try to get home as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Shen Fenghe smiled and nodded, watching him leave. Then, while tidying up the sofa where he had slept, she started planning what groceries to buy from the cafeteria after get off work.

There is no vegetable market in the military region. To buy groceries, you either have to go to the canteen or the grocery store. Usually, the meat and vegetables in the canteen are relatively fresher.

Moreover, with Qin Shufen, one of their own, they could give them some leftover vegetables from the day's sales.

However, Shen Fenghe didn't want to take advantage of this situation. Ye Zhengting wasn't poor, and there were many soldiers and their relatives from poor and lower-middle peasant backgrounds living in the family compound.

"The sofa is quite short, can Ye Zhengting stretch his legs out completely?"

While tidying up the sofa, Shen Fenghe estimated that Ye Zhengting was about 190cm tall, but the sofa was only a three-seater, less than two meters long, which could barely fit his big body, but obviously he couldn't stretch out comfortably.

"How about we buy a folding bed? We can just fold it up under the bed when we're not sleeping in it."

Shen Fenghe made up her mind that once she received her salary, she would go to the supply and marketing cooperative outside and buy Ye Zhengting a folding bed.

It is said that a nurse's income includes salary and allowances. When she first started, it was less, only about 15 yuan, but she had some savings, which was enough for her.

Suddenly, she felt that life was becoming more and more hopeful. After going through the disaster relief together with Ye Zhengting, their relationship had passed the awkward period and they got along more and more harmoniously, just like a pair of harmonious colleagues.

This is probably what a marriage of convenience looks like.

At 7 a.m., Shen Fenghe, wearing the new shirt and pants that Ye Zhengting had bought for her, arrived at the health clinic less than a kilometer away from the dormitory building to report for duty and met a group of real colleagues.

"Hello everyone, my name is Shen Fenghe, you can just call me Xiao Shen. Please take care of me in the future."

"That won't do!"

A slightly plump young female nurse stepped forward from the crowd and said solemnly, "You're older than me, so calling you 'Little Shen' is just taking advantage of you, isn't it?"

"Pfft!" Everyone burst into laughter.

Shen Fenghe smiled and said, "Then you can call me Sister Shen."

The plump nurse smiled and extended her right hand to her. "Hello, Sister Shen, my name is Yuan Yuan."

Man as his name suggests.

This was Yuan Yuan's first impression of Shen Fenghe.

The young girls in the military region are generally thin, especially the group of fairies in the art troupe, each one as thin as a bamboo pole. If Luo Cancan was the first fat girl Shen Fenghe had ever seen, then Yuan Yuan was the second.

However, despite being both overweight, their personalities are completely different.

Yuan Yuan is very diligent and can hardly stay idle. Even after finishing her work, she will find something else to do, such as mopping the floor, taking out the trash, and repeatedly checking the medicines. Therefore, she has won the title of model worker every year.

She is the youngest and most awarded nurse in this clinic.

Therefore, to prevent her from taking over the cleaning lady's job again, head nurse Zhong Junrong entrusted Shen Fenghe to her care.

"Xiao Shen, don't let Yuan Yuan's young age fool you. She's very experienced, patient, and meticulous. With her guidance, you'll get the hang of it quickly."

Zhong Junrong didn't forget to emphasize, for fear that Shen Fenghe would misunderstand that she, as the leader, was being lazy and not mentoring newcomers.

"Yes! I trust Yuanyuan completely." Shen Fenghe nodded with a smile.

People who live longer naturally have a better eye for others than their peers.

She could tell that Yuan Yuan was a genuine and straightforward person.

"Sister Shen, your breasts and waist look like they belong to two different people. Logically speaking, someone as thin as you shouldn't have big breasts and a perky butt. Is it really like what Sister Wei and the others said, that married women get pampered a lot, and their butts and breasts grow bigger?"

When Yuan Yuan took Shen Fenghe to get the nurse's uniform, she hesitated between the small and medium sizes.

The small size is a bit tight in the chest area, and the medium size is a bit too loose in the shoulders and waist area, hence this bold statement.

Shen Fenghe blushed slightly at her words, and Yun Jiaoyu said timidly, "It's probably hereditary."

"Did you inherit it from your dad or your mom?" Yuan Yuan blurted out.

"Haha!" Shen Fenghe couldn't help but chuckle, then playfully retorted, "What do you think?"

"Hehe!" Yuan Yuan scratched her round belly. "So, do you want to wear a small or a medium?"

"I'll take the medium size, I'm afraid I'll gain weight later." Shen Fenghe picked out the medium size.

"Okay! When you get pregnant, you'll still have to switch from small to medium sizes, so let's just get it all at once." Yuan Yuan stopped worrying about it.

Shen Fenghe pursed her lips, mentally calculating the pregnancy cycle. It had been two months, and she hadn't experienced any early pregnancy symptoms yet.

Logically, the fetal heartbeat should be checked every two months. Or, you should take some time to go for a prenatal checkup.

But once the prenatal checkup was done, the pregnancy couldn't be hidden anymore. Experienced people could easily figure it out with a little calculation that the child was conceived before Ye Zhengting and I got married.

Is getting married because of pregnancy considered a misconduct issue in the military region?

Shen Fenghe frowned and grimaced.

Or perhaps you could secretly go to a hospital in the city for a checkup?

Before she could even ponder this question, Yuan Yuan had already led her into her new job.

"The family compound clinic is naturally for the military dependents living here or outside. Of course, people from the military region can come here for medical treatment and medicine, but this is very rare."

"Normally, we're not busy. Since you've just arrived, your job is to record the vital signs of hospitalized patients every day, such as temperature, pulse, respiration, and blood pressure. You just need to record them; the monitoring will be done by the attending physician or nurse."

"Next comes daily care, which includes assisting patients with oral care, skin care, bed baths, turning them over and patting their backs, changing bed sheets, and taking care of their diet, etc."

"This is the work for the first three months. After you are officially hired, we will add new tasks based on your performance."

After explaining, Yuan Yuan put her hands behind her back, slightly sticking out her belly, and waited for Shen Fenghe to ask questions.

"I know acupuncture, but I don't know subcutaneous injections," Shen Fenghe said truthfully.

"You know acupuncture? That's amazing!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yuan ignored the second sentence and excitedly grabbed her hand, saying, "Teach me sometime! Our nursing school teaches Western medicine, but I've always been very interested in traditional Chinese medicine from our ancestors."

Shen Fenghe smiled slightly, took her chubby hand in return and squeezed it, "Then teach me how to give subcutaneous injections."

"No problem!" She intertwined her fingers with Shen Fenghe's.

"Yuanyuan, an old man with diarrhea has come in. I suspect he ate something dirty. Take him to get an IV drip."

At this moment, Zhong Junrong came over and interrupted the two, saying, "I also have a young patient here who is practicing javelin throwing. He seems to have a fever, so I'm a bit overwhelmed."

"Okay, I'll be right there." Yuan Yuan nodded seriously, pulled Shen Fenghe towards the door of the clinic, and winked at her, "Look at this ready-made learning opportunity."
