Chapter Thirty-Six: Ordinary Posts
After eating, the two of them walked around the county town of Wushenqi,......
However, time was limited and soon it was dark.
Wei Ying felt that time was flying, and she said:
"Liang Boyi, do you feel that when we are on the drilling team, time flies very slowly...... However, as soon as I came out to the wonderful world outside, I found that time passed very quickly......"
Liang Boyi nodded, he said he agreed, and said:
"yes, because we've been on the drilling team for too long...... So, we feel like time is slowing down...... And we don't spend much time outside...... So, we feel like time flies. β
After speaking, Liang Boyi looked at Wei Ying's nostalgic appearance, and he said:
"It's okay, I'll take you out again in a few days. β
Wei Ying shook her head, and she said:
"Forget it, let's focus on work...... Once a month, I'm already very satisfied to be able to come out and play......"
Liang Boyi told Wei Ying, saying:
"However, our well is about to be finished. After this well is finished, I heard that we will move the next well to a place not far from the town of Tauley......"
Hearing that the drilling team was about to move, Wei Ying was very curious and asked:
"Liang Boyi, you said, after we finish drilling this well, we are going to move to the vicinity of Taoli Town? Is that our drilling team very close to the town, and after getting off work every day, we can go to the town, take a turn, and buy some daily necessities......
Liang Boyi nodded, he told Wei Ying, and said:
"Yes, actually, the drilling team has an advantage, which is that it moves frequently, here today, there tomorrow, not fixed...... And we can follow the drilling team and go to many places...... This is stronger than the oil production team...... Because, the oil production team is only fixed at one point. β
Wei Ying was very looking forward to it and said:
"I really hope that our well will be dug soon...... That way, we'll be able to move......"
Liang Boyi told Wei Ying, saying:
"Actually, the natural gas wells in our Sulig Desert will be completed in a month if you are faster...... The reason why our team's well was drilled for more than two months was mainly because the underground situation was complicated and something happened, so it was delayed for a while...... In the past, it would have been a month to drill a well and move the house......"
When Wei Ying heard that a natural gas well could be drilled in a month,
His eyes widened, and he said in amazement:
"I really didn't expect that the natural gas wells in our Sulige Desert would be drilled so quickly......"
Liang Boyi was very proud and said:
"Yes, this is our Changqing speed...... In 08, the Beijing Olympics will be opened soon, and the natural gas wells we drilled are the ...... to directly provide natural gas to the Beijing Olympics."
Hearing this, Wei Ying also felt extremely proud, and said:
"I really didn't expect that our humble work would be able to provide natural gas for the Beijing Olympic Games......
ζ’εδΌ says:
"Yes, Wei Ying, don't underestimate our work...... Although, our posts are ordinary...... But the meaning of our work is much greater......"
Listening to Liang Boyi's words, Wei Ying made up her mind in her heart that she must work hard in her ordinary post and contribute her meager strength to the construction of the motherland's oil and gas industry.
After a while, Batu's van drove over from not far away,
After he stopped the car, he looked at Liang Boyi and Wei Ying, and said:
"If you two don't want to go back tonight, I'll come over early tomorrow morning and pick you two back, and it's done......"
As soon as he finished speaking, Batu burst into a wicked laugh.
Liang Boyi told Batu to be serious and not to joke, he said:
"Batu, be careful when you speak...... Although, we are all drilling workers, big old and rough...... But after all, Wei Ying is new here, and she is also a college student......"
Wei Ying was beside her, and while getting into the car, she said:
"It's okay, Liang Boyi, Batu likes to joke, just let him do it, I won't go to my heart......"
Liang Boyi followed Wei Ying, and after he got into the car, he said:
"Wei Ying, don't you care...... Batuu, that's the kind of guy he is...... In addition, most of the workers on the drilling team are big and rough...... When people talk to each other, they just like to joke and laugh...... In that way, we can entertain ourselves in the hard environment of working in the field......"
Wei Ying nodded, he looked at the time on his watch, and then said:
"Liang Boyi, isn't it a bit long for us to come out to play this time? Now, it's more than 7 o'clock, it's almost 8 o'clock, and when we go back, it's 10 o'clock......
Liang Boyi told Wei Ying not to worry, he said:
"It's okay, on the way back, I asked Batu to drive faster...... We were back in less than 10 o'clock...... After we go back, we hurry up and wash up, and when we are done, we will hurry up and go to bed, which will definitely not affect tomorrow's work......"
When Wei Ying heard that it would not affect tomorrow's work, he was relieved.
Wei Ying is a person who works very seriously, and is positive and enterprising.
Now, what worries him the most is that he is afraid of affecting his work.
Along the way, Batu drove the car very fast,
Wei Ying grabbed the handle with both hands, for fear of bumping herself up and hitting her head on the roof of the car.
Luckily, on the way back, the van was only in the sand and got stuck once.
Back on the drilling team, Wei Ying carried the things she bought from the county seat, and while getting out of the car, she thanked Batu and said:
"Master Batu, thank you so much, it's not easy to go out of the drilling team......"
Batu smiled and said:
"You drilling workers, it's not easy, you have lived in the depths of the desert for many years...... In the future, if you want to go out and relax after work, call me...... I, Batu, will go out with you safely and come back safely......"
Liang Boyi was beside him, and after giving Batu the fare, he smiled and said:
"Okay, then this time, I'll trouble you......"
Back in the dormitory, Wei Ying was very happy,
She hurriedly took out all kinds of daily necessities she bought.
This time, when she went to Wushenqi County, Wei Ying bought toilet paper, slippers, toothbrushes, toothpaste towels, and other daily necessities.
With the supplement of these daily necessities, Wei Ying's life is much easier.
After washing, when Wei Ying lay on the bed, she was in a very wonderful mood and said:
"It is said that oil workers work hard and the environment is bad...... However, I don't think it's as scary as I imagined......"
Obviously, after about two months of life and adaptation, Wei Ying has gradually adapted to the life on the drilling team.
Even Wei Ying herself didn't expect that she, a child who grew up in the city since she was a child, would persist in this desert where no one lives.
couldn't help but think in her heart:
The reason why I was able to persevere is probably because of the oil dream and the Chinese dream that I have always pursued in my heart.
And when Wei Ying fell asleep, Liang Boyi in the opposite house, he was worried in his heart.
Because, after the well was drilled, the two of them immediately faced the need to move.
On the drilling team, new workers are generally required to look at the well site.
Therefore, Liang Boyi was very worried that when the drilling team moved out, the captain asked Wei Ying to stay and watch the well site, whether she would be able to survive this cold and terrible night.
