The reason why I participated in the selection of the ambulance team was entirely because of Wei February's instigation, but I never thought that because of my excellent medical knowledge, I was successfully selected, but the initiator himself was named Sun Shan, and was only selected into the reserve team. In fact, the reserve team is a mobile configuration when the ambulance team is undermanned or a large number of wounded people are in, but in fact it is just an idle organization of a comforting nature, and it is unlikely to be useful.

After listening to the announcement of the results, I hugged Wei February's shoulder very heroically: "February, if you want to cry, cry out happily, I'll lend you a shoulder." ”

Wei February, like a frightened little animal, was pitiful: "Hey, why do you say life is so helpless." I would have turned my heart to the bright moon, and the bright moon shone on the ditch, tsk, it's really bitter. ”

I slapped her on the shoulder in disgust: "What do you mean, I look like that stinky gutter!" ”

Wei Er's Ai Aidi was coquettish on the side: "No, it's just that people really want to go." "This looks soft and cute, if I could, I would definitely give her my place. I patted her on the top of her head soothingly: "Actually, you can find a more suitable job in other organizations, you are so appealing, you might as well try the propaganda team." ”

Anyway, from this day on, my life has been busier than ever. In addition to eating and sleeping in class, I received professional ambulance training almost without sleep, and even when I returned home, I repeatedly practiced the nursing knowledge I learned during the training. My family defined my forgetting to sleep and eat as "studious", and my second aunt, who had reconciled with my mother, said that a smart and studious girl like me was destined not to follow their old path, but to do something big.

However, my mother is a mother after all, and no matter how secret my every move is, I will never escape her eyes. Sure enough, as soon as I sat down at my desk, my mother quietly followed.

She wasn't prepared to beat around the bush at all, but asked me in a straightforward manner, "Ranran, you have something to hide from me, right?" ”

I thought that the second brother's incident had already caused my mother to be shot once, and this time I couldn't stab myself in the wound again, so I wondered if I should find a reason to prevaricate. It's just that I can't lie, and every time I am exposed, it's because of my tachycardia, which goes from red cheeks to the tips of my ears. I looked at my mother and said, "Mom, you have to listen to me calmly." ”

My mother looked at me with a serious face, like a stern teacher facing a student who had been caught: "What's going on?" ”

I said respectfully and cautiously, "Mom, I signed up for the Women's Ambulance Corps, and they wrote to me two days ago to tell me that I was selected. In the past few days, I have gone to participate in the training of the ambulance group as soon as I get out of class, and it is not like my second aunt who is studying hard. ”

My mother was not as angry as I imagined, nor was she sad because of this, but she was relieved: "Women's Salvation Association, this is a good thing, why do you want to hide it from us, so that I have been alone there for the past two days." ”

I was puzzled by her reaction: "Mom, aren't you really worried? In the future, if the Japanese go to Shanghai, I will follow the soldiers to the battlefield. ”

My mother patted me on the back as gently as I did when I pestered her every night when I was a child to listen to a story: "Ranran, at that time, it was because the world was still peaceful, and what Qizhi did happened to touch the nerves of the government, and your father and I thought about sending him out to avoid the limelight." But what you do is completely different. The Japanese have already provoked a war, which is tantamount to dragging all the Chinese into the war. If they reach Shanghai, none of them will be safe, and even if they hide at home, they may be hit by shells. When you go to the field ambulance team, you go to save everyone. Only when Shanghai is preserved will we have a way to live. ”

I looked back at her dark, crystal bead-like eyes: "Mom, you are really relieved, you are not afraid that I will be injured or something, how can I get married when the time comes!" ”

My mother laughed softly, and I could see the words "quiet as water" in her. In the past, most of the girls in the scholarly family were cultivated in this way, but in the years that followed, such women gradually disappeared, and many people attributed this phenomenon to the times. I don't have any doubts about the development of the times and the progress of the economy, but deep down I often feel that I regret that the elegance of this old-school Shanghai woman is the reason why the word Shanghai is unforgettable.

My father, who had left early and returned late, found time to talk to me in earnest even when he felt that it was a luxury to see each other. Originally, I thought that his job was just to collect and sort out what had happened. Only now do I know that he knows everything about what is about to happen but has not yet happened. He spoke in a serious tone, but the love that flowed from his eyes could not be concealed in any way. I still remember what he said to this day. He said that a hundred years is simply insignificant in history; For politics, every minute can be a radical reversal. For a hero, great feats are just a shining point in his life; And for an ordinary person, it may only be possible to do one impressive thing in his life.

At that time, I was only "unaware" of what he said, but it took me a while to understand what my father was trying to say. What he didn't say should be "Death is lighter than a feather, and some is heavier than Mount Tai." Even if ordinary people who died in war do not change history, what they did will always be remembered by history. He didn't say it because he didn't want me to make any mistakes.

Halfway through the first aid course, we finally started to get in touch with the real wounded. The injured all volunteered to sign up after seeing the ambulance team's propaganda. They could have gone to a major hospital to receive regular care, but now they have entrusted all their trust to us with a sincere heart. As I picked up the needle, I felt my hands tremble involuntarily, and I gritted my teeth to calm myself, only to find that although this simple action had been repeated a thousand times, my usual confidence in facing the real injured person was completely gone.

The injured man's arm has been pricked by me several times, and he gasped for air conditioning, but he still did not forget to comfort me kindly: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm an old man with rough skin and thick flesh and I'm not afraid of pain, little girl, you can rest assured." ”

I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and took the needle and pricked it into the protruding vein.
