Transmigrated as Cannon Fodder — I Rise to Female Lead Through Hard Work-Chapter 192: Integration

Yi Roujing performed a puncture for the patient, but it was actually just an emergency procedure; surgery was still necessary. Luckily, not long after she finished the emergency care, Zhong Fangrui came out of the operating room and immediately asked for the patient to be taken into surgery.

Four hours later, the man who almost lost his life after being hit by a bicycle was wheeled out. Zhong Fangrui was drenched in sweat but smiling, "The surgery was very successful."

"Wah—thank you, doctor, thank you, doctor." The man’s family cried and vigorously thanked Zhong Fangrui.

"Where’s Roujing?" Zhong Fangrui looked around and asked.

A quick-witted nurse promptly went to fetch Yi Roujing.

Zhong Fangrui looked at Yi Roujing happily, "The emergency care was well done, otherwise the patient wouldn’t have made it, Roujing, you truly are a constant source of surprise."

"Director Zhong, you’re too kind. The situation was urgent at the time." Yi Roujing was also relieved that the surgery was a success, or else her earlier emergency care might have been criticized. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Well done." Zhong Fangrui patted Yi Roujing on the shoulder, his eyes showing the kindness of an elder, "I have a surgery scheduled for Friday, and you can be the instrument nurse."

"Yes." Yi Roujing’s voice suddenly became loud and clear; she was jokingly implying how thrilled she was to have more work since once Director Zhong opens the opportunity, more will definitely follow her way.

The patient’s family, having just witnessed Yi Roujing’s miraculous skills, now listened to the surrounding medical staff’s discussions and Director Zhong’s affirmation, knowing that this young woman played a pivotal role in saving their relative’s life, kept thanking her excitedly.

It wasn’t just the patient’s family who were relieved; the man who was riding the bicycle and his family were relieved too. The incident wasn’t entirely his fault; the patient had tripped and fell into the road, leading to the collision.

After the patient awakened from anesthesia, the two families quickly reached a reconciliation; they collectively decided to give Yi Roujing a bag of food to express their gratitude.

Yi Roujing was a bit flustered about whether she could accept the gift, but upon getting approval from Nurse Chief Fan, she accepted it. She shared two boxes of peach crisps and a pound of milk candies with her colleagues, making them feel more amiable towards her, as the saying goes: "people are soft-mouthed after receiving treats."

Yi Roujing gradually began to integrate into the work in the operating room.

Since the Huang Family was going to Dingping Production Team on Saturday, on Friday the 18th, Ding Ancheng found Xu Jinchun, who hadn’t returned yet, and they took a car to Dingping Production Team that day. By the time the car drove into the village, it was already completely dark.

The jeep’s trunk was filled with items Yi Roujing and her group had purchased. Ding Weihuo and Li Hongying heard the sound and quickly came out and kept the stove hot. Li Hongying made chicken noodle soup with the chicken broth she had prepared, with some small green vegetables and an egg each. The taste was extraordinarily delicious. After eating the noodles, Xu Jinchun left.

Early on the 19th, Li Hongying got up before dawn, but she wasn’t going to work today, as she had asked for leave in advance, given that it was about her children’s marriage matters. Ding Xiaoding, of course, agreed.

Now that the double harvest had begun, nobody staying home from work seemed appropriate, so Ding Ancheng and Ding Anguo went with Ding Weihuo, the three of them working for a few hours, matching what the couple would typically earn and not delaying progress. Ding Xiaoding was very pleased, even praising them in front of everyone.

Ding Xiaoding’s exact words were, "Very good, although Ancheng and Anguo are now officials, they haven’t forgotten their roots and are still excellent at farming. Let’s give them a round of applause."

Li Hongying busied herself at home, with Ding Anmin, Yi Roujing, and Xia Xingchen all helping. All the meat and vegetables were washed clean, and the fruit platters, pastries, candies, and tea were ready.

This time, when Yi Roujing and the others came, they brought an electric fan. Li Hongying was pleasantly surprised, but since there was no electricity, it was just a decoration for the time being. However, they had prepared many palm fans and brewed a large pot of mung bean soup, kept in cold water to chill.

The Huang Family came directly by car, asking for directions at the village entrance. Although Ding Xiaoding knew that Ding Anmin’s future in-laws were visiting today, he hadn’t expected them to arrive in a four-wheeled vehicle.

Seeing the car, Ding Weihuo and his two sons stopped working and, after greeting Ding Xiaoding, went back home. Ding Xiaoding wanted to ask questions but had to hold them back for now.

The people around started talking about the car, and Ding Xiaoding had to restrain himself. Ding Weihuo, the father, hadn’t spoken yet. If he, the team leader, started gossiping about someone’s girl’s marriage like a woman, it wouldn’t look appropriate.

Huang Qianren drove, Mrs. Huang sat in the front passenger seat, and Wan Baohua and Huang Xiaobao sat in the back, the trunk filled with gifts for their first visit to the future in-laws’ home.

Ding Weihuo and his sons were walking slowly back, and when the Huang Family parked the car, they saw the three of them. Ding Weihuo felt a bit restless, but Ding Ancheng and Ding Anguo remained calm.

"Big brother, second brother, this must be uncle." Huang Xiaobao quickly walked up to greet them, bowing deeply to Ding Weihuo like an eager young man. This steadied Ding Weihuo’s nerves.

"Good child, good child." Ding Weihuo said with a continuous smile.

"In-law." Mrs. Huang stepped forward and shook Ding Weihuo’s hand, which startled Ding Weihuo, making him want to retreat.

"Elderly lady, my hands are dirty, I’ll first go wash them..."

"Oh, a farmer’s hand that grows food is clean, you see." Mrs. Huang said kindly, making Ding Weihuo smile even more broadly. He bashfully touched his head with his other hand, feeling that his daughter had good eyes, finding a good family.

Once inside the house, Mrs. Huang and Wan Baohua pulled Li Hongying aside and started chatting, while Ding Weihuo and his two sons went to wash up and change clothes.

"It’s the peak of the double harvest season now." Mrs. Huang said apologetically, "We’re sorry for disturbing, but I’m going back to Jing City the day after tomorrow, and I wouldn’t feel right leaving without seeing you, so I persuaded my son and daughter-in-law to come."

"We are glad you could come." Li Hongying said with a smile, "I have good cooking skills, you must try it today."

"Yes, good, good."

Ding Anmin blushed the entire time, while Yi Roujing found this amusing, sitting to the side, and Xia Xingchen helped serve tea. Mrs. Huang looked at these three outstanding-looking women and felt very pleased. Upon learning that Yi Roujing was married and Xia Xingchen also had a partner, she could only be thankful that her grandson was smart and now, too, had someone.

For lunch, Li Hongying made sure all the ingredients were used to their fullest potential: pickled fish, fish head tofu soup, winter melon pork rib soup, salted meat steamed egg, braised pork knuckle, braised pork, stir-fried water bamboo shoots, cold cucumber salad, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, red bean stewed pumpkin, eggplant braised with beans, and lettuce with minced garlic—a total of twelve dishes.

The staple foods prepared were white rice, mantou, meat buns, and chicken noodle soup. Knowing that Mrs. Huang spent half of the year in the North, they prepared three types of noodles.
