Only Feng Qingxue, Ming Lan, and a few other doctors who frequently went to sea were able to return to their original posts; they could report back within a month, while the four doctors staying at the rear hospital did not receive reassignment orders.
Feng Qingxue didn't know the specific reasons and had no intention of finding out.
As a member of the military, following orders was enough.
Feng Qingxue's plan to buy pearls from Station Chief Gu naturally fell through. Fortunately, there were Doctor Gu and Ms. Gu. She left Ms. Gu two hundred yuan, asking her to have Station Chief Gu get the best quality pearls and either bring them back or mail them to her.
Ms. Gu agreed readily, "Sure, I'll have my husband get you the best Hepu pearls of this year."
Among South Sea pearls, Hepu pearls are the best. Having lived here for many years, she knew this very well.
Feng Qingxue thanked her.
