After four months of pre-job training, Wei Ying finally set off towards the drilling team she longed for.

Wei Ying was assigned to the Sulige Desert in Wushenqi, the natural gas and drilling team of the five project departments.

The bus departed from the provincial capital and ran for two days before arriving at Wushenqi.

After trimming, early the next morning, a pickup truck pulled Wei Ying and another girl, Huang Juan, who also chose the drilling team, and set off towards the drilling team.

Wei Ying and Huang Juan were assigned to a drilling team, the 40565A drilling team.

Along the way, two girls, very excited,

After all, they had never been, the desert of Inner Mongolia.

Moreover, what everyone usually sees on TV is the Inner Mongolia prairie.

Therefore, the two of them can't imagine what it is like to be in the Sulige Desert.

However, as soon as the pickup truck entered the desert, the two girls were stunned by the sight in front of them.

I saw that as soon as the wind blew, the yellow sand around the sky was all over the sky, and Wei Ying, who was choking, hurriedly closed the car window.

The surrounding desert is as far as the eye can see, and there is almost no vegetation.

Moreover, what Wei Ying didn't expect the most was that she and Huang Juan, the assigned drilling team, were located in the deepest part of the Sulige Desert.

The pickup truck, which ran for seven hours in the desert, arrived.

When the pickup truck arrives at the 40565A drilling team,

It's almost dark.

During the day, in the Sulige Desert, the climate is hot, and Wei Ying and Huang Juan are basically wearing short sleeves.

However, at night, the two of them were so cold that they couldn't wait to wear padded jackets.

Wei Ying got out of the pickup truck, she looked at the camping house in front of her, and the towering derrick not far away, and said to Huang Juan in the car:

"Huang Juan, let's get out of the car quickly. ”

After Huang Juan got out of the car, she shivered with cold,

She looked at the empty living camp, felt very desolate, and said:

"Wei Ying, do you feel that we are like prisoners in ancient times, and we have been sent to such a desolate border pass......

Wei Ying took her luggage from the manger of the pickup truck, and she said:

"The environment of the drilling team is similar to what I imagined, except that my father, who I grew up, was in the mountains of northern Shaanxi. And the drilling team we assigned is in the Sulige Desert in Wushenqi, Inner Mongolia. I think that compared with the loess mountains in northern Shaanxi, the environment in the Sulige Desert may be a little harsher. ”

As she spoke, Wei Ying and Huang Juan's luggage were also taken down.

Huang Juan looked at the wilderness in front of her, she was suddenly frightened, and said:

"Wei Ying, you say, do we really have to work in this kind of place all year round?"

Wei Ying nodded and said:

"Yes, we're a driller now. Since we have come to the drilling team, we must be a good driller. ”

At this time, Chen Birong, the captain of the 40656A drilling team, walked over from not far away.

I saw that Chen Birong was a short and fat man, and after he walked over, he looked Wei Ying and Huang Juan up and down, and said:

"I'm Chen Birong, the captain of our 40656A drilling team, you two, are the college students who are newly assigned to our drilling team this year?"

Wei Ying took a step forward, she smiled and nodded, and said:

"Yes, I'm Wei Ying, she's Huang Juan......"

Chen Birong was expressionless, he was very serious, and said:

"You two girls, how are you doing? Our 40656A drilling team needs people who can work, but we don't need people who come on vacation......

Listening to Chen Birong's words, Wei Ying felt particularly harsh.

However, Wei Ying turned her head and thought about it, when she was a child, her father told her that oil workers, especially those who work in the field environment all year round, are all old and rude.

When they speak, they may be expressionless, they may be very ruthless.

However, in their hearts, they are often very enthusiastic and kind.

So, Wei Ying continued to smile and said:

"We are all college graduates this year, and we have the strength to work......

After finishing speaking, Wei Ying used her elbow to poke Huang Juan, who was stunned next to her, and said:

"Huang Juan, the captain asked you. ”

Listening to Wei Ying's words, Huang Juan came back in a daze, and she said:

"I'm in good health, and I can work......"

When Chen Birong heard that the two newly assigned workers in front of him were quite enthusiastic about their work,

A smile finally appeared on his face, and he said:

"If it comes, it will be safe...... Since you have chosen the drilling team, you must be prepared to endure hardships. But because the drilling team is bitter and the living environment of the drilling team is bad, they can't retreat in their hearts, work for three or four days, and then run away. ”

Listening to Chen Birong's words, Wei Ying felt very funny and said:

"Captain, since we have chosen the drilling team, then we will definitely do a good job, how can we work for three or four days and run away?"

Although, Wei Ying is full of confidence.

However, Huang Juan, who was standing next to her, had already begun to retreat in her heart.

After all, two girls who have lived and grown up in the city since childhood, for the first time to work in this kind of uninhabited and deep desert place.

They really feel that the impact in their hearts is too great.

Wei Ying told Chen Birong and said:

"Team Chen, don't worry, my father has worked in the drilling team all his life. Therefore, I know the hard work of the drilling team, and I am also mentally prepared. ”

When Chen Birong heard that Wei Ying in front of him was a driller's son,

He nodded and said:

"The drilling kid is good, at least he knows that the drilling work is not easy, and he can persevere. If it was a child from outside, who came to the drilling team, he might not be able to stand this kind of suffering. ”

After speaking, Chen Birong arranged for Wei Ying and Huang Juan to have dinner and said:

"I see you, you're hungry too, so let's eat first. ”

After speaking, Chen Birong took Wei Ying and Huang Juan into the cafeteria.

I saw that the canteen was very simple, just a dilapidated camping house.

Huang Juan sat on the stool, she looked at the dining environment in front of her, and said:

"Wei Ying, the living conditions of the drilling team are too bad, right?"

Wei Ying touched her hungry stomach and said:

"There's no way, the drilling team has to move once in a month, or even less than a month...... Therefore, its facilities are all movable, of course, relatively rudimentary. ”

At this time, the cook had finished cooking, and he was in the window, shouting at the top of his voice, and said:

"Eat......"

Seeing that the meal was ready, Wei Ying and Huang Juan, who were already very hungry, hurriedly ran over.

When the two of them brought porridge, steamed buns, and pickles to the table, they began to eat.

However, as soon as Wei Ying took a sip of porridge, she spit it out.

To be honest, Wei Ying has never drunk such bitter porridge,

She couldn't figure out what the chef had added to the porridge.

Just as Wei Ying frowned, the chef smiled and said:

"Recently, the domestic water can't be transported, so everyone can only eat the groundwater in the desert, which is more bitter and astringent......"

The porridge was too bitter and astringent to drink, so the two could only make do with some steamed buns and pickles.

After coming out of the cafeteria, the captain instructed the administrator to take the two of them to arrange accommodation.

The entire drilling team, all of them, lived in camping houses.

The camping house is not only cramped, but also dies of heat in summer and freezes to death in winter, and the conditions are really difficult.

I saw that Wei Ying and Huang Juan walked into the camping house and looked at the small space, bunk beds, and four beds.

Although, the accommodation is poor, but this is acceptable......

However, next, the bathroom of the drilling team really shocked the two of them.
