Chapter 1127: Applying to Become a Doctor

Early morning the next day, Ning Shu went to the hospital to apply for the job. She had brought her child with her, so she really didnt have much hope.

When she got to the hospital, as she had expected, she was told that they wanted young girls and it was best if they had graduated from nursing school. The moment they saw that Ning Shu was carrying a kid and wearing a cotton padded jacket, they tactfully said that she wasnt suitable.

Ning Shu sighed, then said, I have a bit of nursing knowledge and I know Chinese medicine. My ancestors were imperial physicians, but the family had suffered a reversal of fortune.

She was completely making things up, building up a very bada.s.s family background for herself.

The interviewer simply looked at Ning Shu. In the end, he said, There is a special position, its for military doctors. Theyre currently still in the training phase. Do you want to try for it?

Ning Shu: _

Shed have to go to the battlefield! What if she was unlucky, got hit by a stray bullet, and ended up farting her last? What was her Zhu Siyuan supposed to do?

Ning Shu saw that all around her were young girls who had their hair tied up in pigtails. They truly were pretty, she indeed didnt have much compet.i.tive strength. Ning Shu silently considered things. Fang Feifei was a battlefield reporter. If she became a battlefield doctor, shed definitely encounter her.

Ning Shu glanced at Zhu Siyuan who still didnt understand anything, then asked, Are there any material benefits? What if something bad happened to me on the battlefield? What will happen to my child? And I still dont have anywhere to live right now.

This nation will take care of your child, so you dont have to worry. This requires signed doc.u.ments, said the interviewer.

Ning Shu furrowed her brows. I dont have anywhere to live.

Becoming a military doctor was pretty much throwing away ones life. It was extremely dangerous work, so she had to apply for material benefits. After all, it couldnt be guaranteed that the nation would raise her child after she died. Doc.u.ments could easily become worthless paper.

During this following time, the entire nation would fall into disorder so who would remember a child?

Every month youll be paid a wage of five silver dollars and the hospital will a.s.sign you a small apartment that will be enough for the two of you to live in, said the interviewer.

During this era, even the professors at Qinghua University only got seven or eight silver dollars per month in wages, so a wage of five silver dollars was pretty good.

It occurred to Ning Shu that she really didnt have much money left and the hotel fee was very high. Furthermore, even if it was only for the sake of confronting Zhu Yanqiu and Fang Feifei, shed still take this job.

Im willing, said Ning Shu with a nod.

The interviewer was very happy. This entire afternoon, no one had been willing to become a military doctor because this was work that required your head to be tied onto your waistband. It was very possible for you to be holding a surgical knife in one second, then hit by a bomb in the next. The environment was very harsh. It was nowhere as comfortable as being in the hospital.

The interviewer had taken into consideration the fact that Ning Shus clothing was very unsophisticated and so he tried to trick her into becoming an intern military doctor.

Sign here. The man took out a doc.u.ment and pushed it in front of Ning Shu. Do you know how to write your name?

Ning Shu picked up the pen, and after a brief moment of hesitation, she signed Zhu Suniangs name.

Very good! The man put away the doc.u.ment.

Ning Shu hugged Zhu Siyuan and kissed him. Mom just became a doctor!

Zhu Siyuan laughed happily.

The hospital a.s.signed a house to Ning Shu. It wasnt large and was very plain, but it had all the basic furniture. Ning Shu was pretty satisfied. There were countless people that were wandering the streets right now after all. Furthermore, this house was under her name and counted as her property.

In the future, once the nation started developing rapidly, Shanghais housing price would become extremely high. This counted as acc.u.mulating some family property for Zhu Siyuan.

She went back to the hotel to check out of her room, then took her luggage to her new home. Ning Shu had Zhu Siyuan go play by himself as she cleaned all the nooks and crannies of the house.

As she looked at the cleaned house, indescribable joy surged up in her heart. Her body was even trembling slightly. These were Zhu Suniangs emotions. She was extremely happy to possess a house that belonged solely to herself.
