When the doctors arrived at the camp, they were greeted with unprecedented warmth. The United Nations peacekeeping force in POLITAVIA is a multinational joint force. In addition to Chinese peacekeepers, there are also soldiers from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Nigeria. The soldiers of the four countries lined up neatly under the leadership of the officers, armed with weapons, and lined up to welcome.

However, it turned out that the enthusiasm of the soldiers was flattering to the blind. When the convoy entered the camp, the Chinese doctors on the bus were sleeping staggeredly, and few people saw the welcoming ceremony.

The act of flattering the blind also includes a sumptuous reception banquet. It may be that they haven't met other compatriots in the mission area for too long, or maybe it's because the People's Soldiers have always been so enthusiastic about the people. All in all, the chef of the peacekeeping force gave a sumptuous reception dinner to all the members of the medical team.

A group of tired doctors who couldn't open their eyes sat at the round table, looking at the dozen or so well-prepared meals on the table, but they couldn't muster up the energy to eat. Everyone was thinking about the same thing – to finish the dinner and get some sleep.

Of course, not all doctors are as sleepy as Chen Tianyang. The female doctors who were left in the small village before, and did not rush to the American camp with Sun Lien and them, were resting well. I don't know if it's to make them feel like they're about to go home, today's dinner is full of dishes with a special domestic flavor. For example, the stainless steel basin placed in the center of the round table...... Inside is a handful of bamboo skewers. The bamboo skewers are also dressed with various slices of meat, quail eggs, and even vegetables.

Isn't this just a cold pot skewer! The female doctors suddenly came to their senses, they hadn't eaten this kind of thing for two years.

Not only are there cold pot skewers, but if you look closely, there are a lot of domestic snacks on the table. Finger cakes, casserole powder, cold skin, baked cold noodles, and even a cup of milk tea with condensation in front of everyone. Although the milk tea is served in a green enamel jar, you can even see black pearls underneath when you stir it with an iron spoon.

"Originally, according to the plan, we should have seen the doctors last night. The welcome party was presided over by a colonel, and he and other officers in military uniforms and blue berets raised the army-green enamel jar in their hands to the doctors, "Because of the environment, but also because of the discipline of the troops, we will not have alcohol at the welcome party tonight." But I personally think that in this environment, a cup of chilled bubble tea may be more appealing to you than Moutai. ”

The female doctors laughed, while the male doctors looked around sluggishly, unsure whether to laugh along or simply raise their army-green enamel cups for a toast.

"This cup is not just for everyone. The colonel held up the cup in his hand and said earnestly to the doctors, "It is also to thank you...... Thank you for your humanitarian efforts during your time in Politane. ”

Sun Lien held the enamel cup in front of him, thought about it, and handed the cup to Hu Jia beside him. It is estimated that since studying in the UK, Hu Jia has never tasted milk tea again. Sun Lien looked around, but he didn't see a vessel that could refill the cup at the dinner table. He guessed it was a limited supply, one drink per person. So after a little thought, he handed the milk tea in his hand to Hu Jia.

"I don't really want to drink cold. Sun Lien explained in such a low voice, he looked at the colonel who was making a speech, and his expression relaxed a lot. This is a military camp, and no matter how arrogant those militants are, they will not directly attack here.

According to Liu's arrangement, the rest of the trip will end in a few hours - they will depart from the camp by land, cross the border north and enter Tanzania. Once in Tanzania, the medical team is safe – at least the Tanzanian government and military have a better grasp of the environment and security than in Polythanvia.

"Your work in Polytavia has played a crucial role in easing ethnic tensions. The colonel raised the enamel cup a little higher, "Your work, like ours, has made an important contribution to local social order and public safety. This cup of milk tea is also a tribute to our peers. He raised his glass, blinked his eyes, and said with a smile, "Thanks to the fact that it's the time of the mission, I'm really not used to drinking Moutai." ”

The Chinese doctors let out a knowingly laugh, and the other country officers at the dinner clearly did not understand the joke. The five official languages of the United Nations are used in the peacekeeping force, and there is nothing inappropriate about speaking in Chinese. But it's another thing if people don't understand it.

The dinner was very casual, and of course, in addition to the casual atmosphere deliberately created by the peacekeepers, the dishes also played a very important role - few women could stay calm in the face of the long-lost milk tea and roasted cold. And the finger cakes and cold pan skewers are indeed difficult to eat elegantly. The officers from other countries who were present at the banquet left the venue after eating their share of dinner. It didn't take long for only Chinese doctors and Chinese soldiers to be left here.

"Doctor Sun, long time no see. Sun Lien was nibbling on a chicken paw soaked in a cold pot skewer when he suddenly heard someone next to him greeting him. Turning his head, Sun Lien really found an acquaintance.

The status bar allowed Sun Lien to avoid the embarrassment of not being able to remember the other party's name, "Liu Chuang, why are you here?" The person who came was Liu Chuang, the young military academy officer who took the son of the commander of the Tanzanian armored forces to the Fourth Courtyard for medical treatment. I haven't seen him for more than a year, and Liu Chuang has already hung a one-bar and two-star rank on his shoulders.

"I graduated, and when I left the company, it was our turn to go to Northern Europe for training. Liu Chuang said with a smile, "I didn't expect that the company would be assigned to the peacekeeping force." ”

It's an exciting thing to meet someone in a foreign country. Sun Lien is happier now than when he first met Lin Hua, a military doctor in Sanya—he and Lin Hua are not too familiar, but he has met Liu Chuang much more. Later, when Rawls received follow-up treatment in the Fourth Hospital, he also met Liu Chuang several times.

"How is Rawls? Is he still in China?" asked Sun Lien curiously, Rawls was the first foreigner he had treated. Moreover, the disease is sickle cell disease, which is very rare in China. The hematology department of the fourth hospital sent several articles based on Rawls's case, but Rawls was discharged after half a month of hospitalization. Therefore, the article lacks follow-up reports.

"He's already back home. Liu Chuang pointed to the north, "He is now a captain in the armored corps of the Tanzanian Army, and he has become a deputy battalion commander...... Coincidentally, their troops are still stationed on the northern border. It's only about a two-hour drive away. ”

"It's a pity that I can't see him now. Liu Chuang sighed, "Discipline in the army is very strict, and we can't just contact foreigners." They're in Tanzania again – and there's no way I'm going to cross the border to meet my old classmates. ”

Sun Lien and Liu Chuang chatted a few more words, and then heard Liu Tangchun's call.

"Lien, it's about two days before we go. Don't be idle these days, add a burden to yourself. Liu Tangchun looked radiant, in stark contrast to Chen Tianyang, who was sluggish on the side. "There is a peacekeeping hospital in the camp, and they have recently been dealing with the needs of local residents. Tomorrow morning, you will go to the hospital with Dr. Wang. He looked at Sun Lien and said seriously, "You don't have direct contact with patients, you only look at the medical records and the treatment process, understand?"

Sun Lien's face is too dark, and if he wants to start treating patients, I don't know how many strange diseases will have to pop up. Liu Tangchun knows this. But just let Sun Lien come to Africa, and he had to return to China in a few weeks, and Comrade Liu felt a little panicked anyway.

It's good to let Sun Lien see a few more patients.
