After Chuxia submitted the application form, she was assigned to an aid area the next day.
She and Feng Xiaoyuan were both in a county further south of the southern suburbs of Beijing. Chuxia felt that Director Lin might have taken care of her because this county was relatively close to the hospital affiliated to the research institute compared to other areas.
If you are assigned to a suburban county in other directions, it will be far away from the research institute.
Feng Xiaoyuan was very happy, and ran into Chu Xia's clinic with the medical record book: "Senior sister! Let's go to the same place! I am not worried at all now that you are here!"
Chuxia nodded and wrote down in the notebook the things she would need to bring when providing assistance.
Medicinal materials, drugs, and some medical equipment that can be brought back. It will be troublesome to come back and get them after you leave.
"Sister, are you unhappy?"
"Happy." Chu Xia finally looked up at her: "But I think, Xiao Yuan, you can go and get ready. We will set off tomorrow."
"Yes, yes, yes! I still have to say goodbye to Dr. Bai."
Feng Xiaoyuan ran away again. Chuxia shook her head. If Feng Xiaoyuan wanted to become an independent doctor, she had to change her unstable personality.
But Chuxia now feels that she is doing well the way she is, carefree and can be happy with just a few simple things.
The next day, Chuxia pulled her suitcase and prepared to go to the hospital. Cen Zhengnian and Cen Huaian sent her off.
"I'm leaving."
Chuxia stood at the door, looking at the two of them, a feeling of reluctance gradually spreading in her heart, and she suddenly couldn't move forward.
Cen Zhengnian walked forward, buttoned her coat with his slender fingers, and straightened the collar of her sweater.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of An An. When you settle down, An An and I will come to visit you when we are free."
When working in the county, they sometimes need to go to the countryside, and they have no idea how late they will be back, so they have no time to go home.
Chuxia let go of the suitcase, raised her hands to hug Cen Zhengnian, and whispered "hmm".
She let go of him, looked at Cen Huaian again, and stretched out her hands to him: "An An."
Cen Huaian walked over, with a depressed look in his eyes.
His mother went out to provide aid and couldn't come back for a long time. Except for the time when his mother took the college entrance examination, he had never been separated from his mother for so long.
Cen Huaian lowered his head, hugged Chu Xia tightly, buried his head in her shoulder, and said in a muffled voice: "Mom."
Chu Xia patted his back: "If you have any problem, tell your dad. Mom will miss you."
Then Chu Xia let go of him, holding back the sourness in her nose, and tried to smile and waved to Cen Zhengnian and Cen Huaian: "I'm leaving, don't see me off!"
Chu Xia didn't let Cen Zhengnian and Cen Huaian take her to the hospital because she was afraid that she would cry in the car.
Sitting on the bus from the hospital to the county town below, Chuxia had her medical kit on her lap and was looking out the window, her emotions still not fully recovered from the separation.
Feng Xiaoyuan happily carried her luggage and got on the bus. When she saw Chuxia, she waved to her excitedly, "Senior Sister! Here I come!"
Most of the doctors on the bus were calm, but some looked reluctant, probably because they were forced to come by the director.
Only Feng Xiaoyuan's expression was particularly lively, as if a colorful bird had suddenly landed in the gray world.
