She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 839 - 785: Famine Era 26 (Second Update)

Just arrived at the new unit, I need to start from the most basic department, and only after working through all the departments in the hospital can I choose what I’m best at and most interested in.

There are quite a few single male doctors in the hospital. Although Ye Huan is not attractive, she is young and has strong professional skills; many people are interested in her and inquire about her, but she turns them down using the excuse of already having a partner.

Some promises, even if not made face-to-face, must never be broken before he officially expresses his feelings; she mustn’t tread on two boats.

In October, after the lively National Day, agricultural production cooperatives began to be established. The peasant economy started issuing agricultural loans, distributing relief grain, reducing taxes, constructing water conservancy projects, digging wells, opening canals, promoting deep dense planting, and advancing new farming tools. With three acres of land ensuring private ownership, the ’Four Freedoms’ (referring to the freedom of lending, renting, hiring labor, and trading in rural areas after land reform) were implemented, ultimately leading to the development of a few rich families, taking the capitalist road...

On a certain day at the end of October, she was at work when a nurse came over to inform her someone was looking for her. When Ye Huan stepped out of the department and saw Ji Huzi in his military uniform, she was a bit dazed, "Why did you come looking for me?"

"I went to your hometown to see your brother, and he told me you were here. Mr. Ye, can we talk?"

Ye Huan took Ji Huzi to the hospital cafeteria; from such a long journey, she surely had to treat him to a meal.

"I’ve been transferred to a division within the Hebei Army as a camp chief, it should be considered stabilized. Currently, the organization is addressing the personal issues of our unmarried youth. Mr. Ye, I immediately thought of you. We know each other well enough. If you fancy me, I’ll report it to the organization. I can’t speak sweet words, but I can promise you that I will listen to you and do whatever you want, as long as you agree to marry me!"

Ye Huan was stunned because she hadn’t anticipated that someone would rush to propose before Tong Zhan. Also, since her brother disclosed her workplace, perhaps he approved of this marriage?

They are both from Henan, and he is without parents, kind-hearted; apart from a bit of an edgy temper, she finds nothing wrong with him.

But...

"I’m sorry, Camp Chief Ji, I now..."

"I have saved a lot of allowances over the years, and I will give them to you. I know I’m not worthy of you; you are a high-achiever now working in such a good unit. I shouldn’t be so abrupt, but I wanted to try. Will you give me this chance?"

Ye Huan was troubled about how to explain without hurting him when the hospital director unexpectedly led someone to the cafeteria.

Ye Huan was facing away from the cafeteria entrance, so she didn’t see them, but Ji Huzi did. Initially, he didn’t realize they were here for Ye Huan until they stood in front of them. He quickly swallowed his food and saluted twice to the newcomers; the newcomers returned the salute.

When Ye Huan raised her head, she was startled and quickly stood up, "Director, why are you...Tong Zhan?"

The tall figure standing next to the director lifted his head, and Ye Huan’s eyes were filled with shock. Who else could it be if not Tong Zhan, whom she hadn’t seen for over a year?

They were both wearing the 50-style military uniforms issued in the 1950s, in earthy green, without any military rank, so saluting upon meeting was a basic courtesy.

The 50-style military uniform had two distinct features.

The first was the unification of the military uniform color; the second was the addition of peaked caps.

It was at this time that peaked caps were introduced into the Chinese army.

On the left chest of the military uniform, a name tag appeared, allowing for the inscribing of number and name.

After Tong Zhan and the director returned Ji Huzi’s salute, they smiled and looked at her: "As soon as I got settled, I came to see you immediately."

Tong Zhan then looked at Ji Huzi, first glancing at his name tag and then at Ye Huan, "Who is this?"

"Oh, he is Camp Chief Ji Huzi from the **troop; he previously saved me and my brother. When we were in Liao Ning, he even stayed at our hospital. He came today specifically to see,

Detecting something different in how Tong Zhan looked at Ye Huan, Ji Huzi immediately spoke up.

"I didn’t just pass by; I came specifically to see you. And your brother asked me to bring you something. Mr. Ye, this is your hospital’s director, right? Just as the leader is here, I’ll say it: I want to..."

"Ah, Camp Chief Ji, right? Let me thank you on behalf of my Huanhuan for saving her life. Hello, let me introduce myself. My name is Tong Zhan, and I have just been transferred to a special operations brigade stationed in Beijing as a brigade commander. Ye Huan is my fiancée; I came today to confirm our relationship."
