Chapter 102 A Futile Watch
He Yunqing's plan to go up the mountain to collect materials directly conflicts with Chen Tuo's interests.
After glancing at Teacher He, I refused his request.
Chen Tuo was also thinking about whether to have Wu Laowai take this guy to the settlement in the mountains.
Wu Laowai is not a forestry worker, but just an ordinary mountain dweller in the Songling area.
In the event of this accident, it was only because He Yunqing was acting unilaterally, and Wu Laowai was too old and weak to provide any assistance.
"Teacher He can go into the mountains with the new medical team; they're currently making rounds to provide medical services to various hunter settlements!"
Compared to Chen Tuo, Hu Yuling, the pretty doctor protected by Sun Changkui, was still somewhat naive.
After Chen Tuo refused, she gave He Yunqing the path to the mountain.
"Sister, the medical team has arrived. Aren't you planning to return to the city? Teacher He should have experience in this area, why don't you ask him..."
Having practiced medicine in the secluded Songling area for many years, and with Sun Changkui's protection, Hu Yuling was unable to see the wickedness in people's hearts.
But Chen Tuo was different. He had experienced too much trampling among cattle and horses, and was wary of everyone.
"Oh? You saw those naughty boys too? I'm going back now, what about them?"
When Chen Tuo mentioned returning to the city, Hu Yuling seemed flustered, clearly troubled by the same issue.
He Yunqing then turned his deep gaze to Hu Yuling.
A few years ago, it was difficult to even learn a foreign language and use it as leverage.
Now, the return of educated youth to the city is a compelling reason to serve as a stepping stone.
"Dr. Hu, given your family connections, I also advise you to leave the forest area. After all, you have a bachelor's degree in medicine, and returning to the city would be more beneficial!"
Hu Yuling didn't need to ask Chen Tuo's instructions; He Yunqing had already shown her the way forward.
"Dr. Hu, your medical skills are widely recognized in Songling Forest Area. If you are promoted professionally, bringing your child along shouldn't be a problem."
Seeing that Hu Yuling still looked conflicted, He Yunqing used her five sons as a breakthrough point for persuasion.
"Dr. Hu, besides living conditions, educational opportunities are also an unavoidable issue. You're from Shanghai, right? Compared to Songling..."
He Yunqing lived up to Chen Tuo's title of "Teacher He," persuading Hu Yuling with just a few words.
It's not that she didn't have the opportunity to return to the city, but her children, husband, and past experiences had become burdens on her mind, which made her hesitant.
Logically, she should have had the opportunity to return to the city in 1975 or 1976.
I just missed it because I was pregnant with my fifth child at the time.
She then had her sixth child, and missed another opportunity.
In late summer and early autumn, a large number of educated youth from Songling returned to the city. She still had a chance, but the household registration of her children and husband became a burden for her.
If Hu Yuling returns to the city on her own, she will have opportunities and job opportunities at any time.
Unable to leave her child behind, she always refused, and her family arranged for her to return to the city.
Her family was fully capable of moving the whole family back, but Hu Yuling's parents didn't really approve of Sun Changkui, this rough and uncultured man.
"Teacher He, what will happen to the patients at Songling if I leave?"
Hu Yuling was persuaded by He Yunqing's few words, and Chen Tuo did not give Lao He a chance to continue persuading her.
"Sister, even without Butcher Zhang, we won't eat a whole pig, hairless and all..."
Chen Tuo started to speak, and He Yunqing wanted to add a few more words, but she couldn't find an opportunity to interject.
Chen Tuo stood up, pointed to the vast mountains, and said:
"Sister, many of your efforts are futile. With your professional skills, can you really utilize them as a doctor in Songling?"
When Chen Tuo asked this question, Hu Yuling shook her head with a wry smile, even though she could perform surgery under harsh conditions in the wild.
But the biggest field surgery she ever performed was a simple wound suture.
If natural childbirth counts, then she has performed more than a dozen natural childbirth surgeries in various settlements and hunting camps.
"Did I hit the nail on the head? In fact, many young people in various positions don't have a big enough stage to showcase their skills."
Speaking of the unfulfilled potential of young people, Chen Tuo exaggeratedly slapped his forehead and belatedly sighed:
"Teacher He, was what I just said inspiration? If I were to write a novel about being sent to the countryside during the Cultural Revolution, could I do so with the title 'A Futile Wait'?"
Before He Yunqing could answer, Chen Tuo started talking to himself again.
"Yes! They are the 'futile watchmen,' many of whom have wasted their years and their lives. If they were given a suitable stage..."
Chen Tuo didn't need to say anything more; He Yunqing continued the conversation on her own.
If he had had the opportunity to publish a newspaper or periodical back then, he would probably be famous throughout the country by now!
If this opportunity had been given to Hu Yuling, she might already be a medical expert.
As Chen Tuo said, many young people waste their years and their lives in futile waiting, which also ruins their health.
"Sister, if you were asked to become an attending physician at a major hospital, do you think you're qualified?"
After giving He Yunqing time to indulge in self-pity, Chen Tuo turned to Hu Yuling and asked her a question.
"Yes! Definitely! Although I haven't performed major surgery on humans, I've practiced on cattle and horses, and I've never failed!"
When talking about her major, Hu Yuling is also confident.
If Chen Tuo could borrow Russian books through Xiao Kai, her family naturally also had a complete set of Soviet-style medical works.
These professional books were originally transferred from the provincial capital to Songling.
As soon as the books arrived in Songling, she asked Sun Changkui to find all these medical works.
If you give her a pen now, she can recite tens of millions of words of Soviet-style medical case studies from memory.
"Sister, aren't you just wasting your professional talent by staying in Songling? If you still have concerns, you could easily apply for a return-to-city study program!"
For Chen Tuo, the beautiful doctor Hu Yuling was the one who saved his life.
He Yunqing was just an insignificant person. Seeing that he had persuaded Hu Yuling, he didn't try to trap Teacher He anymore.
The initial steps have been enough for Teacher He to improve himself through his own initiative.
As for the outcome, it has nothing to do with Chen Tuo.
People either die from stupidity or from impatience.
If you don't act foolishly or rush things, you naturally won't make mistakes.
When someone is so eager to do something stupid and court death, no one can dissuade them.
"Further training? My relationship is still in Songling. Go to a big hospital for an internship? Xiao Chen, that's a good idea. Your brother-in-law will agree too."
Not to mention He Yunqing, Hu Yuling, under the influence of the two, also thought that her vigil was pointless.
His resolve to stay in Songling was already wavering, and this handsome doctor also began to consider temporarily leaving Songling.
"That's right! Don't you even know who came up with this idea? If my brother-in-law doesn't agree, I'll talk to him!"
Looking at Chen Tuo, who was full of confidence, Hu Yuling was also deeply moved.
Although she had rescued Chen Tuo, she later realized that he would probably have been fine without her help.
After losing his memory, Chen Tuo actually helped her and Sun Changkui a lot.
Don't underestimate the fact that the meat was plentiful at the educated youth settlement. After half a month, her several boys not only became more energetic, but also grew taller and stronger.
"Xiao Chen..."
Hu Yuling wanted to say a few words of gratitude, but when the words reached her lips, only sobs remained...
