Chapter 556 It’s getting late. I should go back.
Zhang Jianjun was sitting quietly at the slightly old but very neat desk in the medical office, holding a medical book in his hand, concentrating on reading the contents. At this moment, a light and hurried sound of footsteps came from far away, followed by a clear and pleasant voice: "Doctor Zhang, it's time to get off work!"
Zhang Jianjun looked up when he heard the voice and saw a beautiful and graceful young woman standing at the door - Yu Haitang. Her long black hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, fluttering gently in the breeze; her fair skin was as soft and delicate as mutton-fat jade; her big watery eyes were like twinkling stars in the night sky, bright and moving; under her high nose bridge, her cherry mouth was slightly raised, revealing a sweet smile.
As the factory broadcaster, Yu Haitang is always loved by everyone for her sweet voice and lively and cheerful personality. Today, she is wearing a light blue dress with a white belt around her waist, which makes her look tall and slender.
When Zhang Jianjun saw Yu Haitang, a gentle smile appeared on his face and he replied, "You're off work so soon." Then he closed the medical book and stood up.
Yu Haitang came in, looked at the medical books on the table with curiosity, and said, "Doctor Zhang is really hardworking. He never forgets to read books even during his rest time." Zhang Jianjun scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly, "There is so much to learn about medicine. I am always afraid that I will miss something and delay the treatment of patients."
Yu Haitang clapped her hands lightly, her eyes lit up, "I think you definitely won't do that, Doctor Zhang, but since we're off work, let's go to the cafeteria to eat together. There's braised pork in the cafeteria today." Zhang Jianjun hesitated for a moment and was about to refuse, after all, he was used to eating a simple meal and then going back to the dormitory to study medicine. But seeing Yu Haitang's expectant eyes, he nodded for some reason.
The two walked side by side towards the cafeteria. Along the way, Yu Haitang chattered about interesting things in the factory. Zhang Jianjun listened quietly, his mouth corners unconsciously raised, and a strange emotion arose in his heart, as if this ordinary factory road had become particularly interesting.
When they arrived at the cafeteria, it was already bustling with people and steam. The aroma of braised pork mixed with the aroma of other dishes filled the air, arousing people's appetite. Zhang Jianjun and Yu Haitang found a relatively quiet place to sit down and ordered two servings of braised pork and some vegetables.
"Doctor Zhang, do you have any hobbies besides reading?" Yu Haitang asked curiously while picking up braised pork with chopsticks.
Zhang Jianjun thought for a moment and replied, "Actually, I don't have any special hobbies. I just like to study medicine. Sometimes I also write medical notes and summarize some clinical experiences."
"Writing medical notes, that sounds amazing." A trace of admiration flashed in Yu Haitang's eyes, "Then you will definitely become an excellent doctor in the future."
Zhang Jianjun smiled and said modestly, "No, no, I'm still far from it. Medicine has no end. I will be satisfied if I can learn a good medical skill and do something practical for my fellow villagers in this life."
Yu Haitang nodded, with a sincere light in her eyes: "Doctor Zhang, you are really kind and everyone likes you. Especially when you cured Mr. Li's leg injury, he praised you to everyone he met."
Zhang Jianjun scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Of course, of course. A doctor's duty is to cure diseases and save lives."
The two of them ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Yu Haitang laughed like a silver bell from time to time, which made Zhang Jianjun feel particularly happy. He found that he had not been so relaxed for a long time. When he was with Yu Haitang, it seemed that time slowed down.
After dinner, Yu Haitang suggested taking a walk in the factory garden, and Zhang Jianjun readily agreed. The flowers in the garden were in full bloom, emitting bursts of fragrance. The two strolled along the flower path, enjoying this rare quiet time.
"Doctor Zhang, have you ever thought about leaving here and working in a bigger hospital in the future?" Yu Haitang suddenly asked.
Zhang Jianjun stopped, looked into the distance, and pondered for a while: "In fact, I have thought about this question. But the folks here need me, they trust me and rely on me. Every time I see them suffering from illness, I feel that I have a responsibility to stay and help them."
Yu Haitang nodded, with admiration in her eyes: "Doctor Zhang, you are really responsible. In this materialistic society, there are not many people like you who stick to their original aspirations."
Zhang Jianjun smiled, and a warm feeling surged in his heart: "Thank you for your compliment. In fact, I am also grateful for everything here. The people here are simple and kind, which makes me feel the warmth of home. Moreover, I think I can realize my life value here."
The two continued on their way, occasionally stopping to admire the scenery along the road, or chatting about each other's dreams and future. Before they knew it, it was already getting dark, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, lengthening their shadows.
"It's getting late. I should go back." Zhang Jianjun looked at his watch and said reluctantly.
Yu Haitang nodded, with a hint of reluctance in her eyes: "Well, I should go back to the broadcasting room to prepare for the evening broadcast. Doctor Zhang, see you tomorrow."
After Zhang Jianjun returned to his residence, his mind was still full of the scenes of his time with Yu Haitang today. He sat at the table and opened a medical book, but his thoughts drifted far away. He realized that Yu Haitang's existence had deeply affected him.
On the other side, Yu Haitang was absent-mindedly sorting out the broadcast script in the broadcasting room. She thought about Zhang Jianjun's firm words and admired this man even more.
The next day, the village suddenly received news that a seriously ill patient needed to be sent to a large hospital for treatment, but transportation in the village was inconvenient. Zhang Jianjun heard about it and immediately went to help coordinate vehicles and emergency measures. Yu Haitang also rushed over to help after learning about it. In the busy process, they exchanged glances and encouraged each other.
After finally sending the patient to the car and sending him away, the two stood at the entrance of the village and smiled at each other. At this moment, a subtle emotion spread between the two. Zhang Jianjun plucked up the courage to say to Yu Haitang: "After going through so many things, I realized that it's really good to have you by my side." Yu Haitang blushed and responded: "Me too." From then on, the relationship between them became deeper, and they wrote their own story together in this small village.
