I was reborn after my cousin stole my life.

Chapter 251: Love Above All Else

When it comes to children walking, you can't rush it. The more you urge them, the less they'll walk, and they'll just laugh at you for it.

If you stop urging him, he'll get up and leave on his own without you noticing.

Qiaoqiao and Zhizhi are like that.

When Jiang Zhou came home from get off work that day, he saw the two little ones walking happily one after the other, holding onto the sofa without needing any help.

Seeing her father come home, Zhizhi relaxed on the sofa, stretched out her little arms, and rushed into her father's arms.

If Jiang Zhou hadn't acted quickly, the child would have landed headfirst on the ground.

Jiang Zhou had just hugged Zhizhi when he felt a wave of fear. In the blink of an eye, Qiaoqiao rushed over too.

He rushed forward so fast that Aunt Zhao couldn't stop him.

Jiang Zhou put his arm around one of them and patted their little bottoms.

"They've only just learned to walk, and they already want to run."

The two little ones didn't cry even after being spanked; they just wiggled in their dad's arms, wanting to leave.

Jiang Zhou took one of their hands in each hand, bent over and hunched their backs as he led them to the sofa. After letting go, he quickly straightened his back, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Aunt Zhao laughed and said, "When they get a little older, they'll run around even more freely. They'll know how much it hurts after falling a couple of times."

fall?

Jiang Zhou felt heartbroken at the thought of his delicate little girl falling down, but his son was fine; his son was tough.

"When Qiaoqiao is a little older, I'll take him to training."

Qiaoqiao glanced at her father.

Before the summer vacation ended, Yuan Xiu made about thirty preserved eggs at home and placed them in the coolest place in the house. They would be ready to eat in about twenty days.

On the first day of school, Yuan Xiu ran into Ding Xuewen at the school gate.

Without any threat or request, he simply glanced at Yuan Xiu and offered a normal greeting.

It seems that he has been appeased, so he is not afraid of Yuan Xiu talking too much.

That is indeed the case.

"...Yuan Xiu, I already know about what you're talking about. Xuewen came to my house specifically to tell me about his ex-girlfriend. They met through a blind date and there were no feelings between them. Xuewen broke up with her after he went to university, but she kept pestering him. The time you ran into her was because that woman wanted to get back together with Xuewen..."

Yuan Xiu: "..."

"As for introducing her to you as his girlfriend, it's because I didn't want others to misunderstand her; it's for her reputation."

Is it to protect her reputation that he says she's his girlfriend?

"Wu Xue, would you like to hear the details?"

Wu Xue waved her hand: "No need, I trust Xuewen. If he really wanted to deceive me, he wouldn't have come all this way to my house to explain. Everyone has a past, and as adults, there's no need to dwell on it. That woman did nothing wrong, and Xuewen did nothing wrong either. If two people are together without love and don't break up, that's deception. Marriage is the same; a marriage without love is immoral!"

Yuan Xiu stopped talking; some things you have to learn from your own mistakes and suffer the consequences yourself.

If she keeps talking, people will think she's the one who tries to break up a couple.

Let her prioritize "love".

……

After completing her senior year of college, Yuan Xiu began her hospital internship.

The school's job assignment policy is mainly based on "returning to the place of origin". For example, Yuan Xiu was originally an employee of a military hospital, so she will be given priority to return to her original unit for internship.

Liu Fang and Liu Yazhi, being local residents, will be given priority for internships at local hospitals.

The department finalized the internship list based on the plan, the students' place of origin, their grades, and their performance.

Military hospitals are good institutions; if you perform well during your internship, they may become your employer after graduation.

If you are assigned to a military hospital after graduation, it's equivalent to enlisting directly in the army. Your political status will be that of a military officer, which is much more prestigious and respected than that of a civilian cadre.

In terms of benefits, military hospitals are better.

One can imagine how popular military hospitals are among the many internship units.

Some people verbally agree to follow instructions, but privately they go to great lengths to pull strings and seek special "attention."

No matter how others try to get into better companies, Yuan Xiu's return to her original company for an internship is a done deal.

Along with her, her colleagues and alumni who had taken the college entrance examination and entered university at the same time also went back for their internships. As for Lin Fangmei, who was admitted to the university through the "worker-peasant-soldier" recruitment program, she had already returned to her original unit for an internship when she was a senior last year. Now she has received her graduation certificate and has been officially assigned back to her original unit.

The Traditional Chinese Medicine major has a five-year program, while the Traditional Chinese Pharmacy major has a four-year program, with the final year being an internship.

The day Yuan Xiu returned to her former workplace was no different from any other day. However, walking to the hospital gave her the feeling of going back to work four years ago.

Her age has changed; the girl who was eighteen or nineteen years old back then is now 23.

Times are changing. In the past two years, people have started to run their own businesses, and many small individual shops have opened around the area, giving people more choices for buying things and eating out.

"Jeans! Jeans! Jeans brought back from the South! Beautiful lady, buy a pair, you might not find another like it!"

On the street, a young man wearing a floral shirt, jeans, and sunglasses held up a pair of jeans to attract customers.

Several young women ran over hand in hand, "Comrade, did you really bring those jeans back from the South?"

"Why would I lie to you! It's not found anywhere else but in the south!"

"That's true, how much is one?"

"Thirty-five!"

"So expensive! My monthly salary is only thirty-six yuan and fifty cents!"

"Of course they're expensive! You have no idea how hard it was for me to carry these dozen or so pairs of pants back. I almost lost my life! I dare say that in the entire city, you can only buy jeans from the South from me! If it weren't for the convenience of the neighbors, I would have gone into town to sell them, and they would have been gone in a minute!"

The young man was very talkative, saying, "Do you want some or not? If not, don't block my way of doing business!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Give me one!"

"I want one too!"

Yuan Xiu rode her bicycle past, smiling.

She wouldn't be willing to spend thirty-five yuan on a pair of jeans.

"Director Hao, Yuan Xiu, a 77 intern from the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at the Medical School, is here to report for duty!"

Yuan Xiu, wearing her newly acquired white coat, stood in the office of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Director Hao smiled and nodded: "Xiao Yuan, welcome back! During your time in the Traditional Chinese Medicine department, you'll be working with Dr. Sun; let him mentor you."

Yuan Xiu nodded in agreement. In the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Dr. Sun's medical skills were recognized as the best, and he was also the deputy chief physician of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Her internship this year will not only be in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, but she will also rotate through other departments to ensure that she can thoroughly understand the entire system.

Yuan Xiu was an acquaintance, so she didn't need Director Hao to take her; she went to find Doctor Sun on her own after leaving the office.

It was Dr. Sun who diagnosed her pregnancy.
