Chapter 66: Practicing in the Desert, Familiarizing Yourself with the New Environment!
At 3 a.m. on August 31, 1987, the landslide of the road where Hu'er and their traffic were blocked was finally cleared.
At 6 a.m., they entered the Ruoqiang Bus Terminal.
Ruoqiang is a transportation hub in southern Xinjiang into Qinghai and Tibet, so this station is relatively large and has relatively complete facilities.
Due to the traffic jam and the harassment of gangsters last night, the driver and passengers did not have a good rest, so the station decided that the driver and passengers should rest for a day in hotels and hotels near the station, and then set off for Yutian at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Because Hu'er, Wulong, Taiduo, Xiaohui and Erya belong to the righteous and brave youth, they were arranged in the driver's apartment at the station for free food and accommodation!
They were arranged in an apartment suite, Xiaohui and Erya lived in one bedroom, Hu'er, Wulong, and Taiduo lived in one bedroom, they put away their luggage and belongings, and after a simple wash, they went to bed.
......
Because they were too tired and sleepy, Hu'er, Wulong, Taiduo, Xiaohui and Erya slept until 4 o'clock in the afternoon before waking up.
After waking up, they bathed and changed their clothes inside and out.
After tidying up their personal hygiene, they went to the driver's cafeteria for dinner.
After dinner, the five of them went for a walk outside the station.
The scenery here is beautiful, not only with beautiful poplar forests, but also with jujube groves and grape plantations as far as the eye can see.
In the distance, you can also see the snow-capped mountains of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the white snow-capped mountains shining with silver-white light under the sunset!
At this time, it is already late autumn, and the temperature is only a few degrees Celsius in the morning and evening, and it is particularly dry and cold because it is located in the desert and plateau.
Erya said, "Alas, this place doesn't seem to be a place for people! Let's go back to the apartment and get warm! Otherwise, our skin will be chapped!"
Wu Long smiled and said: "Alas, how beautiful this scenery is! This is the so-called Kunlun Mountain! This is the place where the ancients became immortals!"
Taiduo smiled and said, "Alas! The ancients cultivated so hard! They must have come here to cultivate with the determination to die!"
Everyone laughed!
Hu'er smiled and said: "Alas! Many things in this world have already gone through the vicissitudes of life! Before the end of the last ice age, this should be a land of fish and rice crisscrossed by rivers, dense lakes, and lush forests, which is very suitable for human survival and reproduction! At that time, the Tarim Basin was nourished by the glaciers of the Tianshan Mountains in the north and the glaciers of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the south! Moreover, it is surrounded by high mountains and plateaus, and the cold air of the Arctic and the hot air of South Asia are all blocked by them, so at that time, this place should have been a paradise on earth with a pleasant wind and sunshine and a pleasant climate! Later, after the glaciers melted, the Tarim Basin lost the nourishment of snow water, and it gradually became the Taklamakan Desert!"
Wu Long smiled and said: "Alas! My master is very knowledgeable! I finally understand! No wonder everyone here has run away to the Central Plains and Jiangnan!"
Everyone laughed!
......
At 7 o'clock in the morning on September 1, Hu'er, Wulong, Taiduo, Xiaohui and Erya got on the bus again with their luggage.
They still sat in their same positions, and after they put their luggage and belongings, the car drove to the station.
After leaving the station, their bus headed west along the desert road.
At this point, it's hard to see green in the view outside the window!
The cotton fields here have turned yellow, and many workers in the mainland are picking cotton in the cotton fields!
The jujube trees have also begun to turn yellow, and the trees are full of jujube-red jujubes!
The grapes are yellow, and the local girls are picking grapes in the vineyard in their national costumes!
It's a busy harvest season and everything is golden here!
Wu Long said: "Alas, why is it all yellow?! The desert is yellow, and the poplar forest is also yellow! Bosses! I am already visually tired! I am sleepy! You can enjoy the scenery slowly!"
Everyone laughed!
......
At 7 o'clock in the evening, Hu'er and their bus finally arrived at Yutian Bus Station on time.
After Hu'er and they left the station with their luggage and belongings, they found a public phone booth and called them to go to the Youth League Hospital, and they wanted to ask the Youth League Headquarters, is there a car to pick them up to take them to the Youth League Hospital?
After the phone was connected, the other party told them that there were still more than 100 kilometers between Yu Tian and the regiment headquarters, and asked them to find a guest house in Yutian, the 5354 regiment headquarters, and at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, all the hosts would pick them up and report to the regiment hospital.
The 5354 regimental headquarters is the regimental headquarters where they want to intern, and the hospital where they intern is the affiliated hospital of the 5354 regimental headquarters.
Yutian was a small place, and they quickly found the 5354 regimental headquarters guest house.
They were at the front desk of the hostel, and after the "Internship Notice" and "Letter of Introduction" had an accident, the hostel treated them as insiders and arranged accommodation and dinner for them free of charge.
Xiaohui and Erya live in one room, and Hu'er, Wulong and Taiduo live in one room.
After putting away their luggage, they went to the guest house cafeteria for dinner.
The five of them ate at a small table, and their meals included scrambled eggs with tomatoes, pickles, porridge, and steamed buns, but they ate deliciously because they were so hungry!
Xiaohui smiled and said, "Alas, tomorrow, we will go to the place of internship! I hope that in the future, we will be safe! Don't have anything unpleasant happening!"
Erya said: "Alas! This may not be guaranteed! I have heard that the locals here always feel that we mainlanders have robbed them of their territory and resources! They are not so friendly to us!"
Taiduo laughed and said, "Alas, we stay in the hospital and work, and we don't have to contact the locals! what do they do to us, and what do they have to do with us?!"
Wu Long said: "Alas, this hospital doesn't just treat the personnel of the regiment headquarters, right? I heard that the area around our regiment headquarters is all agricultural and pastoral areas of the locals! When the time comes, we will inevitably have to treat them and deal with them!"
Hu'er said: "It's nothing to deal with them! The regimental hospital has been dealing with the locals for decades! The hospital must have regulations on dealing with the locals, and the old doctors in the hospital must have experience in dealing with the locals! When the time comes, we just need to study seriously!"
After eating, they went back to their rooms to wash up and went to sleep.
......
At 8 a.m. on September 2, Hu'er, Wulong, Taiduo, Xiaohui and Erya had breakfast and boarded a truck with a tarpaulin roof on their backs with their luggage and belongings.
There were seats on both sides of the vehicle, they put their luggage and belongings, and after they were seated, the truck drove out of the guest house.
......
At 10 o'clock in the morning, the truck pulled them to the courtyard of the hospital affiliated to the 5354 regimental headquarters.
After the five of them moved all their luggage and belongings out of the car, the truck drove away.
In the courtyard, they were greeted by an old gentleman in his fifties in a tunic suit.
After smiling and shaking hands with them, the old gentleman said: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 5354 Affiliated Hospital of the Youth League! I am the head of the personnel department of the hospital, and my name is Li Yongze! You can just call me Section Chief Li! I will first handle the registration, work, dormitory, and meal for you! You come with me!"
So, Hu'er and the five of them followed Section Chief Li into an office with their luggage and belongings.
In the personnel department of the office building, Section Chief Li and the staff helped Hu'er, Wulong, Taiduo, Xiaohui and Erya with internship entry procedures and work arrangements.
Taiduo, Xiaohui and Erya were assigned to be on duty at the outpatient clinic of the hospital.
Hu'er and Wulong were safely working in the hospital's field medical team.
The work of the field medical team is to go deep into the health centers of the battalion headquarters and company headquarters, as well as the agricultural and pastoral areas of the people within the jurisdiction of the hospital, to carry out medical guidance, epidemiological investigation, and patient diagnosis and treatment.
They were assigned a doctor's apartment suite, which included two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a dining room, and a bathroom, all in all, enough for the five of them to live and live.
During the internship, the hospital gave them a living allowance of 50 yuan per month for each person, and they could buy meal tickets for meals in the canteen of the Youth League headquarters, and they could also buy food and ingredients for their own cooking at the Youth League stores and farmers' markets.
Finally, the section chief smiled and said: "Little colleagues! Now, you have already gone through the formalities of registration and entry! Today, you will first settle down and familiarize yourself with the environment of the regiment headquarters! There are three or four thousand people living here! There are all kinds of shops, and you will have to buy whatever you lack in your apartment! In the future, you will have to go to the property management office of the regiment headquarters to pay the management fees, water and electricity bills, and heating expenses of the apartments! It will soon get cold here! You must find something to do what you should do!"
After they had finished their work in the personnel section, they followed a section member with their luggage and belongings.
The clerk took them to the second floor of an apartment building.
Then, the clerk handed over a bunch of keys to Xiaohui and said, "Little colleague! The five of you live here! You should take care of the furniture and daily necessities provided by the public house! If you break it, you will have to compensate according to the price! You should settle down first! If there is anything unclear, come to the personnel department and consult us!"
After the clerk gave the key, he left!
After he left, Hu'er and the others saw that this room was room 203.
They opened the door and entered the suite, and after dropping off their luggage in the living room, they toured the whole room.
They saw two bedrooms, one with three beds, which Hu'er, Wulong, and Taiduo lived, and the other with two beds, which belonged to Xiaohui and Erya.
The bedding and furniture in the bedroom is already complete, in addition to the bed, there is also a wardrobe, table and chairs, etc.
The living room has a coffee table and a sofa.
The kitchen has a gas stove, a range hood and a full set of cooking utensils.
There is a round table and a few chairs in the dining room.
Xian's hand room has just been cleaned, hygienic and clean, and can be used at any time!
This suite is equipped with radiators for heating in winter, and I heard that the temperature here in winter is as low as minus 20 degrees Celsius!
After putting their luggage and belongings in their respective bedrooms, they had a meeting in the living room.
Xiaohui said: "Alas! We have finally settled down! This is a militarized management! We must conscientiously follow the rules of the regiment headquarters! We must not be as casual as when we were in the capital! If we fail to pass the graduation internship, we will have read the books in vain in the past few years! You understand? !
Hu'er said: "I understand! We must go to work and get off work honestly, and we will never make a fuss!"
Everyone laughed!
Xiaohui smiled and said, "Okay! We will now go to the property management office to pay the gas bills, water and electricity bills, heating bills, and property management fees, and then go to the market and store of the regiment headquarters to buy ingredients, condiments, tableware, and daily necessities! From tomorrow, we will commute to work on time and work hard!"
After that, the five of them left the room with cash, locked the door, and went downstairs to run errands.
......
The regimental headquarters is not large, it is a military camp town with a population of several thousand.
Their hospital is located at the west end of the town, and in the center of the town is the regimental administration center and the business district.
Because Xiaohui and their places to do things are very concentrated, therefore, at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, they didn't finish all the things they had to do.
After that, the few of them made lunch at home.
After making a sumptuous meal, Wu Long poured the 'Corps Erguotou' high liquor for everyone!
Then, everyone started talking while eating.
After Wu Long ate a few pieces of meat in the pot, he smiled and said, "Bosses, please take a sip, the second pot head of the Corps brewed by the headquarters! There are spirits in other places! There are also greetings in other places!"
Everyone laughed!
......
In this way, Hu'er and the five of them worked in the Affiliated Hospital of the 5354 Regiment Headquarters for nearly a year, and their internship work and life began!
