In the blink of an eye, August, more than half of the year has passed.

Tao Tao stayed in the Ji Yuan base of the No. 1 Squadron of Dingbian Cementing.

He looked at the calendar in his phone and said in his heart that in twenty days, it would be his twenty-seventh birthday.

However, in the face of the upcoming birthday, Taotao was not happy at all.

He knew very well in his heart that with the arrival of his twenty-seventh birthday, his dream of becoming an oil extractor would be goodbye to him forever.

Because there are regulations in the unit, all young people over the age of 27, even if they meet the conditions for recruitment, will be turned away from oil production because of their overage.

After sighing and sighing, Taotao looked at the time, and there was less than an hour left before setting off to go up the mountain to fix the well.

Tao Tao looked outside, the sky was gradually darkening, and then he thought about the double level solid at night, his head was numb.

Compared with the previous single-stage cementing, the current bipolar cementing takes more than seven hours.

Therefore, as long as it is cemented at night, it is basically impossible to sleep.

Tao Tao has been working for I don't know how many night shifts in a row.

He felt dizzy and had a splitting headache.

Although after the cementing at night, the captain will arrange for a few hours for everyone to rest, but in the Ji Yuan base, there is no way to sleep during the day.

The Jiyuan base of the No. 1 Cementing Squadron is more of a noisy yard than a base.

There are not only cementing teams, but also workover teams and drilling teams......

In addition, in addition to the personnel of the oil field, there are also many migrant workers who live in this courtyard.

In addition to the noisy staff, there are shops, canteens, restaurants, and mahjong parlors in the Jiyuan base......

The simple color board room where the cementing staff live is not soundproof at all.

In addition, people come in and out, and he appears after you sing, so even if he gets off the night shift, even if he dozes off again, even if he falls asleep, even if he falls down, he will be noisy and unable to sleep.

In this way, Taotao cemented the well at night, couldn't sleep, rested during the day, and couldn't sleep......

Sometimes, he even had to do continuous cementing day and night.

Such high-intensity, daily and nightly cementing directly led to Taotao's serious sub-health state.

Outside of work, Taotao always feels very tired.

He was physically exhausted, mentally ill, and even suffered from severe insomnia.

Tao Tao sat alone in the house in a daze.

When Liu Zhiyong passed by, he walked in.

Liu Zhiyong is a gray tanker driver, and he has a good relationship with Taotao.

After he came in, he looked at Taotao's dull expression and asked him, "Taotao, what's wrong with you, do you miss your daughter-in-law?"

When Tao Tao saw Liu Zhiyong coming in, he smiled and said, "There is no daughter-in-law at all, where do you want a daughter-in-law?"

Liu Zhiyong is one of the few friends of Taotao in the cementing team.

He looked Taotao up and down and said, "Taotao, how can I see that you look tired, you haven't slept well?"

Tao Tao yawned a lot, and he said, "I fixed the well all night last night, and when I came back to the house during the day, I couldn't sleep......

I finally fell asleep just now, but before I slept for an hour, I was woken up by the noisy people who came in and out, and I couldn't sleep anymore.

Liu Zhiyong looked at the house where Taotao was, he sighed and said: "In a house, four people sleep on the kang and six people sleep on the floor under the kang......

Although everyone lives in the same house, the timetable of everyone is different, and it is really difficult to get a good night's sleep. ”

Since the Jiyuan base is full of Chase bunks, there is no fixed bed for everyone.

Sometimes, when Taotao's cementing team got off the night shift and rested in the house, the other team members did not live during the day......

This leads to the fact that people who rest after the night shift, and those who do not rest during the day, are always in the same house, which directly leads to a lot of mutual interference.

Tao Tao recalled his college days, he said: "I miss my college days now, at least I can sleep well every day, it is really a luxury happiness." ”

Now Taotao doesn't want to do anything, he thinks, as long as he can ensure that he is down-to-earth every day, without any interference, and sleeps enough for five or six hours.

However, even such a trivial wish, he could not realize it.

Liu Zhiyong saw that Taotao didn't speak, so he suggested to him, saying, "Taotao, there is still an hour before you get out of the car, you might as well go to sleep next door, forget it." ”

Hearing next door, Tao Tao waved his hand.

He said: "There are only eleven beds in this room, and it is already too noisy to do so.

If I went to the house with more than 20 beds next door, I would not be noisy to death, let alone sleep. ”

Liu Zhiyong pointed to the two-person room at the door of the next room and said, "I mean, let you go to the two-person room to sleep."

Once you're in, lock the door so that no one disturbs you and you'll definitely get a good night's sleep. ”

Tao Tao knew that the room was clean and tidy, and there were only two beds and a TV.

He smiled and said, "That's Manager Li's special room, where do I dare to sleep, I have to be skinned by him." ”

Captain Li Bin was nicknamed Manager Li by everyone because he bought a BMW, but he was actually just a captain.

Liu Zhiyong whispered: "Li Bin has not come back yet, what are you afraid of?"

Hearing that Tao Tao didn't dare to go to the small room to sleep, Liu Zhiyong looked at Tao Tao's bloodless face, and he said worriedly: "Since you don't want to sleep, then I'll accompany you to the health center to have a look, don't get sick?"

When it comes to getting sick, Taotao is also very afraid.

Because recently, Taotao feels dizzy every day, and he is so dizzy that when he was almost walking, he fell down.

He thought for a moment and said, "Ji Yuan Health Center, can you see dizziness?"

Hearing the dizziness, Liu Zhiyong deduced and said, "Taotao, I think you must have low blood pressure, let's go to the health center and show you." ”

Tao Tao also felt dizzy because of his low blood pressure.

So, he followed Liu Zhiyong to the health center.

The Jiyuan Health Center is very simple, and it can even be described as ruins.

I saw that a small room was very dilapidated.

Inside the room sat a doctor in a white coat, cooking a fire in front of the stove.

After Tao Tao went in, after describing his symptoms to the doctor, the doctor began to examine Tao Tao.

But whether it was measuring blood pressure, listening to the heart, or looking at the throat, and so on, the doctor told Tao Tao exactly, saying, "You are very healthy, and you have no disease." ”

Tao Tao wondered, he said: "Since I am very healthy, why do I feel dizzy every day, and I have been dizzy since I got off the night shift in the morning." ”

The doctor knew that the people of the cementing team stayed up late every day, so he gave Taotao advice, saying: "I think you may be overworked, and I suggest you rest for a few days." ”

Hearing the break, Tao Tao felt simply impossible.

Since his senior brother Ma Hongxing fell to the No. 6 Squadron in Longdong, the cementing truck he was in was left with the driver Zhou Zhanhe and himself.

The driver's main task is to drive, as an operator, all the work falls on Tao Tao alone.

When he came out of the health center, Tao Tao patted his head and said, "Why are you so dizzy, it feels like you have lead in your head." ”

Tao Tao and Liu Zhiyong had not yet reached the gate of the base when they received a call from the team leader, who was also Tao Tao's master Zhou Zhanhe.
