At 8 o'clock in the morning on September 3, 1987, after having breakfast in the canteen of the Youth League headquarters, Xiaohui, Taiduo, Hu'er, Wulong and Erya went to the Affiliated Hospital of the Youth League Headquarters for internship and work.

Xiaohui, Taiduo and Erya are on duty in the outpatient department.

Hu'er and Wulong interned in the hospital's field medical department.

After Hu'er and Wu Long arrived at the Field Support Department, they were received by the attending doctor Qiu Shitong, the director of the field service.

Mr. Qiu Shitong is a middle-aged man in his forties, his body is very strong, and he looks more like a farmer and herdsman than a doctor.

Director Qiu smiled and said, "Huzi! Wulong! I see that the two of you are quite sturdy! You can ride a horse?"

Wu Long smiled and said: "Director Qiu! My master Huzi can ride horses! I grew up in the capital, so I don't have the opportunity to ride horses! However, I am very interested in horseback riding! I should be able to learn it in a few days!"

Director Qiu smiled and said: "Okay! Wait a minute, you go to the stables of the field support department to get two horses! You all practice horseback riding! If you work in us, not being able to ride a horse is like having no feet! Our hospital is not only responsible for the medical work of nearly 10,000 people at the regiment headquarters and its subordinate units, but also for the medical work of the nomadic herdsmen and peasants in the local agricultural and pastoral areas within a radius of 200 kilometers centered here! Alas, our department used to have more than 30 field doctors, but because this work was too hard, now there are only five or six field doctors left in our department! You are still young, so stay here and work hard! Here, the field allowance is two and a half yuan a day, so that in a month, each of us will receive at least 50 yuan more than the doctor on duty in the hospital! Although we are in the desert here, the living conditions of our regiment headquarters are very good! If you do a good job! After your internship, you can apply to work in our hospital! In this way, in the future, you will be regular employees of our regiment headquarters! This is a public unit, and in the future, you will be contracted by the public!

Hu'er smiled and said: "Director Qiu! We are not afraid of hard work! Actually, the desert is not as terrible as imagined! We feel that the regiment headquarters is like a modern city, and everything is fine! We are now going to get two horses and get acquainted with the nature of horses!"

So, Director Qiu gave Hu'er and Wulong a collar strip.

Hu'er and Wulong took the collar strip and went to the stable.

When they arrived at the stable, they saw a stable master in his fifties, his name was Li Shancat, he used to be a horse breeder at the regimental headquarters, but now the regimental headquarters no longer raises horses, so he was transferred here to take care of the stable.

Master Li smiled and said, "Alas! You two doctors are so young! You are not as old as my son and daughter! The sandstorms and blizzards here are very unpredictable! They are coming! Therefore, I will give you two old horses that can sense the weather and can read the way! These two horses were trained by me five or six years ago! They have great strength and can walk fast!"

Hu'er said, "Master Li! Thank you very much! We want to take the horse away now! We want to practice and test ride for a few days! Then, we are going to go out on duty!"

Then, Master Li pulled out two horses from the stable, the horses given by Master Li, one of which was called "Zhuangzhuang" and the other was called "Kuaikuai".

Master Li put dragon sheath on the two horses, installed and saddled.

After finishing the work, Master Li smiled and said, "Huzi, Wulong! I have got the horses for you! You can practice riding horses on the grass by the river to the west of here! At noon, you let the horses drink water by the river and graze on the grass! At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, you can lead the horses to the stable! In this way, you will have more time to train your horses!"

So, Hu'er and Wulong took the two to the grass west of the stable, and practiced horseback riding.

After arriving at the meadow, Hu'er tried to ride two horses, and he felt that Zhuang Zhuang was more docile, so he let Wu Long ride Zhuang to practice.

The tiger tied the quick reins to a poplar tree and let it graze and rest.

Then, Hu'er began to teach Wulong how to get on the horse, how to clamp the horse's belly with his feet to make the horse walk, how to control the reins, make the horse turn left and right and stop, etc., how to make the horse run with the whip, how to maintain the balance of the body while the horse is running, and so on.

After Hu'er explained and demonstrated Wulong, he asked Wulong to practice the same.

After a morning of practice, Wu Long basically mastered the operation and essentials of these movements, and Wu Long was already able to ride a horse!

Hu'er said, "Okay! Let the horses graze here! Let's go to the regimental canteen for lunch! Then, let's come back here to practice riding!"

Wu Long smiled and said, "Master! Riding a horse is so much fun! It's much more fun than piloting a god airship!"

Hu'er smiled and said, "It's fun! It's because the horse is not very obedient! If you give it a command, it may have seven or eight moves!"

Everyone laughed!

So, after they tied their horses, they went to the regimental canteen for lunch.

......

In this way, from September 3rd to September 8th, Hu'er and Wulong practiced horseback riding.

Through the practice of horse riding, they not only became familiar with the horse nature, but also established a friendship with Zhuang Zhuang and Kuaikuai, and had a comprehensive understanding of the situation of their 5354 regimental headquarters in the second phase.

There are more than 3,000 people stationed at this regimental headquarters, and there are nine companies under the regimental headquarters, each of which has about 200 people, that is to say, there are more than 2,000 people in the subordinate units of the regimental headquarters, and the nine companies are scattered in a small desert oasis.

In addition to the clinics of the nine subordinate companies, the field staff of their hospital is also responsible for the treatment of more than a dozen local natural farming and pastoral villages, involving the treatment of five or six thousand local people.

And the medical resources in these natural villages are almost empty, there are no clinics, and there are no medical workers!

Their hospital is such a hospital with the best medical conditions, with a complete range of outpatient departments, laboratory departments, inpatient departments, etc.

The hospital has more than 150 doctors, more than 100 administrators, more than 300 nurses and nursing staff, etc., and more than 200 beds in the inpatient department.

However, due to the fact that the economic income of the Youth League headquarters has not been very good in recent years, the funds of this affiliated hospital have gradually become tight, so the hospital has begun to accept a large number of patients who pay for diagnosis and treatment, so as to solve the problem of insufficient funds for the hospital.

One of the tasks of their field staff is to mobilize farmers and herdsmen from natural farming and pastoral villages to visit and treat patients in the regimental hospital, because the local people have to pay for their own treatment, and the regimental hospital only provides free treatment to the staff of the regimental system.

......

At 8 o'clock in the morning on September 9, when Hu'er and Wulong were working in the field support department, Director Qiu Shitong talked to them.

Director Qiu said: "Huzi and Wulong! You two can already ride horses! We have more than a month to go here, and the weather is starting to get worse! Therefore, before the weather deteriorates, we have to carry out supplementary statistics and distribution of medical equipment and medicines to the nine subordinate company clinics, and we also have to do a good job in the general investigation and diagnosis and treatment of diseases in the company headquarters and the responsible treatment of agricultural and pastoral villages!"

Hu'er said: "Director Qiu! I understand! I just send medical treatment and medicine to my subordinate units! Give free medical treatment to farmers and herdsmen, and then invite them to our hospital to see and treat their patients!

Director Qiu smiled and said, "Alas! Huzi is so smart! You can understand a little! You go back and prepare some field luggage! Then, you should prepare for a business trip!"

Wu Long smiled and said, "Director Qiu! We have no sense of direction in the desert! You don't give us a guide! What if we get lost?"

Director Qiu smiled and said: "Oh! I forgot to tell you! This time, I will send you a local expert, his name is Liu Maiti, to be your guide! Liu Maiti is an 18-year-old boy, he has just graduated from high school, and he has not yet taken the university exam! His parents are both employees of our hospital, and his mother is a local, so Liu Maiti is very familiar with the geography, language, customs, and human feelings here! Moreover, he can also ride a horse! Wait a minute, when you come here to get the supplies from the countryside, you can meet him!"

So, Hu'er and Wulong went back to the dormitory to change their field work clothes, shoes and hats, and brought a change of clothes, daily necessities, cash and other business trip luggage.

After they left the dormitory, they went to the stables to find Master Li Shancat to get the horses.

After receiving the horses, they led them to the yard of the Field Support Department to load the goods.

In the courtyard of the Field Support Department, they met the young man Liu Maiti.

Liu Maiti is more than 1.8 meters, a little taller than Huzi and Wulong, and looks exactly like the locals!

However, he speaks Mandarin very well!

After they and Liu Maiti got to know each other, Director Qiu began to instruct the three of them to load their medical diagnosis and treatment boxes on the bags and racks of the three horses, and distribute medicines and other goods to the subordinate units.

After packing the things, Director Qiu said: "Huzi! On the way, you are the team leader! You take this delivery document! When you arrive at the company clinic, you give them the goods according to the receipt! If they still need it, let them make a new plan for me! After you finish the affairs of your subordinate units, let Xiao Maiti take you to the natural village for free medical treatment! Go to all the dozen or so natural villages as much as possible! Get some more information! When the time comes, we will send an ambulance to pick up a group of local people to our hospital for medical treatment and treatment! In the past few years, they have made a lot of money selling cattle and sheep, as well as grapes and cantaloupe! However, the locals have money and do not see a doctor! They always think that there are gods who bless them!"

Everyone laughed!

In this way, after Hu'er collected the delivery list and map given to him by Director Qiu, the three of them flew on the horse.

They left the regimental hospital on horseback and set off along the desert oasis path.

On the way, the three of them talked as they walked.

Liu Maiti smiled and said, "Hu'er and Wulong! You are about to graduate from college at such a young age! You are so amazing!"

Hu'er said: "Maiti! This is nothing! Many of our relatives are teachers! Therefore, we are close to the water! You need to find a good teacher and study hard for a year! You can also be admitted to university!"

Liu Maiti said: "Alas! The teachers of our Youth League headquarters middle school have all gone back to the mainland! Our mathematics, physics, and chemistry courses are all taught by elementary school teachers! There are some problems that they do not understand before us! If we review them, it will be in vain!"

Wu Long said: "Alas, go to your provincial capital to study! Can you still have a good teacher in your provincial capital?"

Liu Maiti said: "Alas! My parents are workers on the farm of the regiment headquarters, and they drive tractors to grow cotton! My parents' combined income is more than 200 yuan a month! It costs more than 5,000 yuan a year to study in the provincial capital! How can I go to the provincial capital to study?"

Hu'er smiled and said, "Maiti! As long as you help us lead the way on this business trip! I will be responsible for giving you 6,000 yuan for tuition! How about letting you go to the provincial capital to study and review for the college entrance examination?"

Liu Maiti smiled and said: "Huzi! I will definitely help you lead the way! However, you are not allowed to deceive people!"

Everyone laughed!

In this way, Hu'er's internship work began!
