Dr. Li led her into a room, and Sister-in-law Lu followed.

There's a doctor in this room who's about to give a child with a cold an injection.

The child, held by his grandmother, cried out, "I don't want a shot! I don't want a shot!"

"Don't move around. How can your cold get better if you don't get a shot? Be good, and after you get your shot, Grandma will go back and get you some candy."

The child was only four or five years old. He stopped crying when he heard there was candy, but he still cried a lot because he was scared.

"Dr. Liu, wait a moment."

Dr. Liu was a female doctor, and she was quite young, probably only in her early twenties.

"What's wrong with Dr. Li?"

The doctor looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"We have a new doctor here, let's give her a try."

"A new doctor?" Dr. Liu's gaze unconsciously fell on Sister-in-law Lu and Shen Jingyue.

Sister-in-law Lu knows Dr. Liu, so it's definitely not her. It must be the pretty woman next to Sister-in-law Lu.

She didn't say anything, but nodded to Dr. Li.

"Comrade Shen, come here."

Shen Jingyue was not intimidated. She walked over and saw some new medical gloves on the side. She took a pair and put them on.

Then he picked up the syringe that was already filled with medicine.

The elderly woman holding the child was a little worried. "Is Dr. Li sure he's okay? He might hurt my grandson."

The old lady heard everything. This doctor is new; what if he doesn't know his own strength?

Before Dr. Li could speak, Shen Jingyue said with a smile, "Don't worry, Auntie, I know how to give injections. I won't hurt your grandson."

She used tweezers to pick up an alcohol swab and wiped a small area on the child's bottom.

"Waaaaah, I don't want to!"

The child became frightened again when he saw the syringe.

Shen Jingyue took a White Rabbit milk candy out of her pocket and handed it to him.

"Here, you can't cry after you eat the candy. The injection will be quick and won't hurt at all."

The child stopped crying as soon as he saw the candy, quickly took it, and couldn't help but lick his lips.

In that short moment, Shen Jingyue had already taken the syringe and stuck it into his buttocks, quickly pushing the medicine in.

The child didn't even realize what was happening before the injection was finished.

Shen Jingyue pulled out the syringe and pressed it with a cotton ball. "Okay, just press for a while until the bleeding stops."

The old woman pressed the cotton ball down with her hand.

Before the child could react, he turned his head to look at his bottom and saw that his grandmother had already pressed down on the cotton ball.

"Is it done?" the child asked blankly.

"Yes, it's better now, isn't it less painful?" Shen Jingyue smiled at him, her voice softening.

The child nodded vigorously, "Yes, it doesn't hurt."

He had received injections before, and they were always very painful, even walking was painful, and it would take several days to recover, so he didn't like injections at all.

But this time the injection didn't hurt as much. Although it was still a little painful, it wasn't as painful as before, when he just wanted to cry.

"Go back and get some rest. When you shower, apply a towel to the injection site and it will heal quickly."

"Thank you, sister."

The child really liked this pretty older sister.

"Good boy, take your medicine properly when you get back, and you won't need injections anymore once you're better," Shen Jingyue said with a smile.

"Okay, I understand. I'll take my medicine obediently."

He gave a shy smile, though his face was still streaked with tears. His smile made everyone laugh.

"This child used to cry like a fish on a chopping board when getting injections, you couldn't hold him down. He would cry even more after the injection. This time he didn't cry at all. You're amazing."

The old lady couldn't help but glance at the new doctor a few more times; he was good-looking and gentle when giving injections.

Unlike other doctors who prick too hard, leaving the child with a sore bottom for days afterward.

Shen Jingyue smiled, put the syringe back in the tray, and took off her gloves.

Dr. Li was very satisfied with this. Judging from her skill in giving injections, he believed that she had been trained.

"Dr. Liu, why don't you go and get the medicine for the child first?"

"Comrade Shen, come with me." Dr. Li led Shen Jingyue out.

After they came out, Dr. Li tested Shen Jingyue with some questions, all related to the medicine.

Seeing that she had typed it out word for word, Dr. Li asked, "Do you know anything about traditional Chinese medicine?"

They lack Western medicine here, and mostly use traditional Chinese medicine.

"know."

Dr. Li brought out several herbs for her to identify, and also explained the effects and uses of these herbs.

Shen Jingyue glanced at them and immediately spoke her mind, even describing the growing environment of the herbs.

Dr. Li was very satisfied and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Comrade Shen, you have passed our interview. We offer a monthly salary of thirty yuan and various subsidies for holidays. When do you want to start working?"

"We work in shifts here. The morning shift is from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., and the night shift is from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. We get four days off each month, but you have to discuss it with your colleagues to avoid your holidays clashing."

They have fewer people here, so their holidays are all split up, because they're worried they won't be able to handle everything here.

"Tomorrow, I'm fine with either the early or late shift."

Fortunately, there are no night shifts here, otherwise she would have to reconsider.

"Okay, then you can take the early shift. Get used to it first, and we'll make adjustments later."

"Okay." Shen Jingyue had no objection to this.

After settling things here, Shen Jingyue went back with Sister-in-law Lu.

On the way back, Sister-in-law Lu couldn't help but look at Shen Jingyue with new respect.

"Shen, you're really amazing!"

"Sister-in-law Lu, please don't praise me anymore. I'll get embarrassed if you keep praising me," Shen Jingyue said with a smile.

"I'm telling the truth. The way you just got your injection was much gentler than other doctors."

"From now on, if my little rascal catches a cold, I'll ask you to give him the shot."

Other doctors used heavy-handed methods when giving injections, which always made her heart tremble.

After the treatment, I still have to comfort the children, carry them home, and endure the pain for several days.

"Sister-in-law Lu, please don't say that. Who would want their child to go to the clinic for injections?"

Sister-in-law Lu then realized what she had said and slapped herself in the face. "Look at me, I can't watch what I'm saying. I don't want my child to get sick; once a child gets sick, they'll suffer for so long."

The two chatted and laughed as they went home. Sister Wang had to take her child to school, so she hadn't gone with them.

I had just returned not long ago when I saw Sister Lu and Sister Shen come back.

She quickly came out of her yard and walked towards them.

"How did it go, Sister Shen? Did they let her stay at the health center?"

"She stayed, saying she'd go to work tomorrow," Sister-in-law Lu said with a smile.

"Oh, that's wonderful! Sister Shen is so lucky," Sister Wang said with a cheerful laugh.

"Today I'm celebrating finding a job. Would Sister Lu and Sister Wang like to come over for lunch?"

Having met such wonderful sisters-in-law here, Shen Jingyue still wanted to treat them to a meal.

Sister-in-law Lu: "I won't go. There are several mouths to feed at home."

Sister Wang: "Me too, wait until your husband comes back before you invite us."

She's home alone right now, and she's pregnant, so Sister Wang wouldn't let her get tired.

"Alright, then we'll wait for Qin Xiang'an to come back. I'll definitely invite you all to my house for a big meal then."

Many people have helped her a lot since she arrived here, especially Comrade Tan Jianguo, who brings people over every day to help her carry water. She is truly grateful.

"Okay, we definitely won't hold back then."

After chatting for a while, everyone went home.
