Chapter 5: Everyday Life in Africa
With Wang Dong's old team member surnamed Li, Li Shenpeng, listening to him, he has been in this country for a year and a half, Wang Dong has been thinking about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with any meaning to this name, so Li Shenpeng smiled easily, but it was just a casual parent.
Although the car is printed with the blue UN mark, it is actually only a domestic car, and the comfort level is not as good as imagined, but it is better than the leather and durable, and it is enough for daily patrols.
On the first day, Wang Dong sat in the passenger seat, and Li Shenpeng pointed to the buildings on both sides of the road while driving.
It's okay to say that the newly built Chinese enterprises are there, but the houses of the locals are completely muddy, tattered, and if you put on a fence and wear animal skin clothes, they look like those completely primitive tribes.
Along the way, he also encountered vehicles patrolling from other countries, Li Shenpeng got out of the car with a smile and greeted them, and then introduced them to his colleague who had just arrived, Wang Dong.
To be honest, he suddenly felt a little nervous, Wang Dong smiled and stretched out his hand, greeting in his somewhat broken English.
It's not so much a greeting, in fact, it's just a casual chat, and then the two of them returned to the car, Li Shenpeng said with a smile: "Most of the people who just came from China are like you, and it's normal for some to not let go, in fact, after chatting for a long time, you know that their English level is actually about the same as ours, anyway, they can even communicate with comparisons." ”
It turns out that this is the case.,No wonder after I spoke a long list of English just now.,The two people on the other side looked embarrassed.,I thought it was my own Chinese English that wasn't up to par.,The English on the other side of the relationship is actually not much different from your own.。
After the scene just now, Wang Dong is now much more relaxed, chatting with Li Shenpeng about the recent events in China in the car, and after almost an hour, the car finally stopped outside a three-story building.
The building must have been a long time old, and the outer walls were almost gone, revealing the grayish-white bricks inside, and the front wall was full of bullet holes with big eyes and small eyes, and you can imagine how much had happened here before.
"This is where we will patrol and stand guard in the future." Li Shenpeng said a word, then parked the car in the corner of the hospital, and led Wang Dong through the gate.
It was tattered enough outside, and it was the same inside, and there was nothing like the domestic hall here, where dozens of doctors in white coats sat behind a desk, and there was a long queue in front of them, and a few black men dressed as nurses were running around, looking very busy.
"It's busy here, but there's no way around it, there's only this children's hospital a few hundred kilometers away, so where can you go if you don't come here." Li Shenpeng said with a helpless face: "The funds in the children's hospital are not very much, there is a shortage of medicines, and sometimes because of the lack of medicines, they can only treat some ordinary diseases, and you can't think of it, they may only eat one meal a day." ”
Eat a meal?
Wang Dong's mind immediately thought of the scene at yesterday's welcome party, isn't that beautiful female doctor from this hospital, but there are too many people here, and he hasn't seen her yet.
Seeing a doctor is a doctor's business, what Li Shenpeng and Wang Dong have to do is to maintain order here and not let others make trouble, in fact, such a big hospital is not something that the two of them can see, but there is no way, there is a shortage of manpower, and they have to take care of so many places, so at the moment, there can only be two people guarding here.
"Doctor Liao, hurry up." Suddenly, the figure of a black nurse appeared on the railing on the second floor, and the nerves on her face were very tense, and then Wang Dong saw a familiar figure stand up from the crowd and respond loudly: "I'll be here soon." ”
Finally saw her again, it was the woman who took the food yesterday, probably feeling Wang Dong's gaze, Dr. Liao suddenly turned his head, and when he saw Wang Dong's face, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then showed a bright smile, and then waved his hand.
"Dr. Liao is the highest-level doctor here, and of course, the most beautiful doctor." Li Shenpeng patted Wang Dong's shoulder with a smile, and then teased: "I heard that she doesn't have a boyfriend yet, come on, you have hope." ”
"I have a girlfriend." Wang Dong subconsciously replied.
Wang Dong's frankness was a little unexpected by Li Shenpeng, and after being stunned for a moment, he nodded: "That's better." ”
After a long while, Dr. Liao walked down from the upstairs with a tired face, and when he came to Wang Dong, he took off his gloves and shook his hand: "Thank you so much yesterday." ”
"You're welcome, it's not mine anyway." Wang Dong responded with a smile.
"That can't be said either, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid it wouldn't have gone so well."
"Oh, by the way, my name is Liao Zhenzhen."
"Wang Dong."
The two people who had been chatting for a long time finally knew each other's names.
As a doctor, Liao Zhenzhen is always in a very busy state, and after a few words of greeting with Wang Dong, she returned to her job, but she still left a sentence that she would invite Wang Dong to dinner at noon.
"Dr. Liao is very good, she has been here for almost two years, and the doctors here have left one after another, leaving only her to stay here and never leave, but unfortunately, good people are not rewarded."
"Why is that?" Wang Dong asked curiously.
This belongs to the category of gossip, Li Shenpeng first glanced at the surroundings and nothing happened, and then pulled Wang Dong to the door of the hospital, the two of them sat in the narrow gate, Li Shenpeng took a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Wang Dong.
"I'm sorry, Brother Li, I don't smoke." The king shook his head and refused.
"It's good not to smoke, but I didn't smoke when I came." Li Shenpeng said with a look of reminiscence.
"Then why did you smoke it again?" Wang Dong asked curiously.
Li Shenpeng smiled, and when he put the cigarette in his mouth, he sighed softly, and said helplessly: "On the one hand, it's because of pressure, and on the other hand, it's because of loneliness." ”
Both sides talked about the situation of the peacekeeping police abroad, and for Wang Dong, who had just arrived, he just experienced the inconvenience of life for the time being, and he didn't feel much about the pressure and loneliness, and after being stunned for a while, he heard Li Shenpeng say: "Dr. Liao's former boyfriend is actually in this hospital." ”
