Transmigrated as Cannon Fodder — I Rise to Female Lead Through Hard Work-Chapter 128: First Day at Work

As soon as they entered the main gate of the food factory, the three of them parted ways. Yi Roujing went to the staff hospital, which hadn’t started work yet, but there were already quite a few people waiting in the hospital lobby.

"Comrade Yi Roujing." Nurse Chief Luo Yueyuan personally led Yi Roujing today to handle the induction procedures and receive her work uniforms.

"You will receive two sets of uniforms. Meals are to be had at the staff canteen. We will schedule shifts every month: day shifts and night shifts will alternate, and the rest days will be marked. Once you see the schedule, you’ll understand," Luo Yueyuan introduced with a smile.

"You will be assigned a position in the outpatient department, but there is no schedule for you in May. For these few days, you can familiarize yourself with everything. Feel free to ask any questions, whether it’s to me or any of the other nurses. In June, when you officially start, you’ll be better prepared to integrate into the work."

"I’ll introduce you to others during lunch."

"This is the nurses’ duty room. When you’re on night shift and it’s your turn to rest, you can take a nap here, but you’ll need to bring your own bedding. This cabinet is empty and for you to use," Luo Yueyuan said, opening the uppermost cabinet.

"This is also where we change clothes usually. You can change into your clothes now." After speaking, Luo Yueyuan left.

Yi Roujing, wanting to dress comfortably for work, specifically had Ding Anmin make her a pair of loose cotton trousers that matched her work uniform, in white, and had also bought white cloth shoes in advance.

The current nurse uniform is a short-sleeve one-piece skirt, so you’ll still have to wear your own clothes underneath.

After dressing appropriately, Yi Roujing opened the door, and outside the room, Luo Yueyuan was amazed. With such good looks, anything she wore looked good. The white nurse uniform was actually quite nice, and many people look clean and spirited in it, but seeing someone wear it as well as Yi Roujing was a first for Luo Yueyuan.

"Nurse Chief Luo, is this the new nurse comrade?" After changing into her work clothes, Yi Roujing followed Luo Yueyuan to familiarize herself with the hospital’s internal departments, and many workers greeting patients and accompanying others gave her friendly greetings along the way.

"Yes, this is Comrade Yi Roujing. Starting today, she is a nurse at our food factory’s staff hospital. I hope everyone will take good care of her," Luo Yueyuan introduced Yi Roujing with a smile.

"Oh my, such a pretty girl. Is she of age?"

"She’s nineteen this year," answered Luo Yueyuan on her behalf. "Although she looks like a young girl, Comrade Yi Roujing is already married."

"Married? Ah, what a pity. I was thinking of introducing her to my nephew."

...

People of this era were very simple, and after being shown around for a whole morning, Yi Roujing deeply experienced this. She also gained a good understanding of the staff hospital, which has four major departments: the treatment department, auxiliary treatment department, nursing department, and logistics department.

The staff hospital of the food factory has two nurse chiefs. Luo Yueyuan and the other, Fan Yuanrong, mainly responsible for the operating room. The nurses they lead are different, as are their responsibilities, which don’t overlap.

Of the two nurse chiefs, Luo Yueyuan’s responsibilities are broader, and she’s quite busy. After giving Yi Roujing a brief introduction, she let her follow a round-faced, thirty-six-year-old veteran nurse, Han Xiangxi, whom Yi Roujing calls Xiangxi.

"Roujing, although it’s the first time we’ve met, I’ve long heard of your great name." Han Xiangxi winked and even gave a thumbs up to Yi Roujing. "Great job."

Yi Roujing replied with a smile, "We have aspirations in this area. When encountering comrades in need of help, we always do our best."

"Eh, not that," Han Xiangxi leaned in and whispered. "I heard you gave Dr. Wu Aihua some trouble. Well done."

Upon hearing this, Yi Roujing twitched her mouth. She hadn’t expected Nurse Han Xiangxi, despite her age, to be so "cheerful and lively." But it seemed that Dr. Wu Aihua wasn’t popular among everyone.

Before Yi Roujing could even think to ask, Han Xiangxi started sharing information eagerly.

"Although Dr. Wu Aihua is a high-caliber graduate from the medical university and her medical skills are decent, she’s too arrogant. Let me tell you, she looks down on nurses, summoning us at will. Although we’re not under her management, she often scolds us. Tell me, isn’t she annoying?"

"In any case, not a single nurse working with her likes her. But since our outpatient nurses rotate shifts, there will inevitably be times you’ll work with her. When it’s your turn, it’s best to steer clear of her. Her words can be quite unpleasant."

"But I don’t take it to heart. We just focus on doing our jobs well."

"Yes, thank you, Xiangxi." Yi Roujing thanked her with a smile.

...

"It’s eleven-thirty now. Let’s go eat. Did you bring your meal ticket?" Han Xiangxi asked.

"Yes, I brought it."

"When on the day shift, you can rest for two hours at noon and start work at one-thirty. The nurse chief said you’d start with the day shift these days," Han Xiangxi said with a smile, winking at Yi Roujing. That’s a privilege.

"But even on the night shift, don’t worry. It’s actually quieter at night, with hardly anyone coming to see the doctor. The outpatient night shift has four nurses who rotate in pairs. You can sleep in the duty room while off-duty and will only be called upon if needed, so bring your bedding as soon as possible," Han Xiangxi reminded.

"Understood."

Yi Roujing brought two bowls, an aluminum lunchbox, a pair of chopsticks, and a soup spoon and followed Han Xiangxi to the cafeteria.

The staff hospital’s cafeteria is about half the size of the one at the County First Middle School, but with fewer people since only hospital staff eat there.

The dishes were plentiful: braised pork, potato stew with chicken, scallion-roasted fish, scrambled eggs with cucumber, and various vegetables—about fourteen or fifteen different types.

"Wow, they have braised pork today, Roujing. Let me tell you, our cafeteria’s braised pork is not inferior to that of state-run restaurants. Quick, get it fast, or it’ll be gone," Han Xiangxi hurriedly lined up and urged Yi Roujing.

Having tasted Li Hongying’s braised pork, Yi Roujing viewed other braised pork as just average, so she opted for scallion-roasted fish. To be honest, she ate fish less often than meat.

Yi Roujing also got some potato-braised eggplant. Soup was free and almost entirely clear, with a few strands of pickled vegetables floating in it.

Han Xiangxi led Yi Roujing to the eight-immortal table where the nurses ate together. When they arrived, six people were already seated, and the remaining two seats were just enough for both of them. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Sister Xiangxi." Despite her age, all six of the nurses greeted her with smiles before curiously looking at Yi Roujing.

"Let me introduce to you, Yi Roujing, nineteen years old, and today she joins our nursing department family. Everyone, please welcome her," Han Xiangxi said, and the other six began to applaud.

Yi Roujing gave a slight bow to show her gratitude, "I will work hard. Please teach me well, seniors."

Next came the self-introductions of the other six.
