Chapter 127: Going to the Countryside
In addition to six doctors from the surgery department, four doctors from the internal medicine department, two from the gynecology department, and several nurses were sent to the countryside by the military hospital.
The place to go to the countryside this time is called Li County, which is far away from the capital city, and the medical care is not developed, and even the information is relatively closed.
After Tang Muchen returned home, he talked about his going to the countryside.
For this kind of work, Gu Chengyuan supported it, but he had heard that the conditions in Li County were really not good.
"During the zipper training of the army, I went to Li County once. The environment is beautiful surrounded by mountains, but people's living conditions are not good. You should prepare more things." Gu Chengyuan helped Tang Muchen pack his luggage.
Tang Muchen didn't take it to heart, it's not that he has never been to the countryside, as long as he has a place to live.
"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who can't endure hardship." Tang Muchen sat on a chair and ate watermelon.
Gu Chengyuan squatted on the ground to help him pack his luggage, but he really didn't see where Mu Chen could suffer.
"I have a practice mission for a while, and I'll go find you after it's over." Gu Chengyuan packed the things for him.
Tang Muchen threw away the watermelon rind, "Okay."
The military hospital prepared a bus, including some instruments and equipment, which were put into the car.
Led by the chief of surgery, Gu Yan, they went to Li County.
Tang Muchen dragged his suitcase into the car.
"Give me your luggage, and I'll put it on for you." Meng Heng extended a helping hand to Tang Muchen.
Tang Muchen was also polite, and handed him the heavy luggage.
"I'll go, Doctor Tang, what's in it that's so heavy?" Meng Heng was startled when he took it over.
Tang Muchen let out a breath, "My wife pretended for me, I don't know too well."
"I'm so happy." Meng Heng helped him lift his luggage up. His girlfriend knew that he was going to the countryside, so she didn't say a word of caution, so she asked him to bring some souvenirs when he came back.
Everyone got into the car one after another. Director Gu counted the number of people, and then sat behind the driver, "You can drive now."
The environment of the air-conditioned bus is not bad, and the wind from the air-conditioning is getting cooler after driving.
It takes six hours to go to Li County. Everyone was very active when they were in the car, but they soon became listless.
Tang Muchen reclined the back of the chair, adjusted the wind direction of the air conditioner, and fell asleep.
Meng Heng sat beside Tang Muchen, looking at the endless fields outside the car, his eyes were a little blurred.
Tang Muchen slept for about half an hour, and when he woke up, he saw Meng Heng looking out the window with a dazed expression.
He raised his hand and waved it in front of Meng Heng's eyes. Isn't this guy stupid?
Only then did Meng Heng come back to his senses, rubbed his astringent eyes and said, "I woke up, do you want some water?"
"Not thirsty, but what are you looking at, are you fascinated?" Tang Muchen asked curiously, the scenery outside is so attractive?
Meng Heng was a little embarrassed when he heard the words, "I didn't look at anything, I just thought of my girlfriend. My mother hopes that I will get married as soon as possible, but she doesn't seem to want to."
"Because there is no house in the imperial capital, I can lend you money." Tang Muchen said, it is normal for the woman to ask for security.
Meng Heng pursed his lips, "At first I thought so too, but when I went to see the house with her yesterday and was about to pay the down payment first, she didn't seem happy."
Tang Muchen fell silent when he heard the words. It seems that the problem between these two people cannot be solved by one house.
"Before I left this morning, when I called her, there seemed to be a man's voice on the other side of the phone." Meng Heng's voice became even deeper.
He asked on the phone, but his girlfriend said he misheard.
He didn't have auditory hallucinations, how could he hear wrongly.
Thinking of his girlfriend's indifferent attitude towards him, it seems that the relationship between the two has faded unconsciously.
When they were in school, they were very innocent and didn't know what material things were, but as they stepped into society, under the pressure of life, they inevitably changed.
Tang Muchen didn't know how to comfort him, "Let it take its course."
Meng Heng took a deep breath, thinking that this time when he went back to the countryside, he would explain that if it was not suitable, it was better to separate as soon as possible.
Heartache?
It will definitely hurt, after all, they are already talking about marriage.
But if this kind of thing happened again after marriage, he was afraid that he would not be able to bear it.
Six hours later, the car arrived in Li county.
There is a mission to go to the countryside this time. They have to help local hospitals improve their service capabilities and standards, and improve and strengthen management.
Then, go down to the grassroots level according to the task, implement the disease census, and participate in the free clinic work.
The bus stopped at the entrance of Li County Hospital, and Director Gu went down to negotiate with the local hospital.
About 10 minutes later, the doctors got out of the car one after another under the arrangement of Director Gu.
Everyone from the local hospital came out to greet them and held up a red banner to welcome them.
"Everyone stands in a row. Considering the intensity of the work going to the countryside, we will work separately." Director Gu began to make arrangements.
He will stay with some people to guide the work in local hospitals, and the rest will go to grassroots free clinics.
Considering the age and physical fitness of the doctors who went to the countryside this time, all those who stayed in the local hospitals were women or older medical staff.
He kept two people in surgery, and he himself will go to the free clinic with him.
The two doctors in the gynecology department were both women, so he kept the older one and took the younger one.
In the end, the one who stayed didn't appreciate it, and gave him a few blank glances.
Everyone was satisfied with Director Gu's arrangement except for the female gynecologist who was left behind.
After instructing the remaining people to complete the work as required, Director Gu took the rest of the people to change cars, took a local donkey cart, and headed to the countryside.
Tang Muchen watched everyone put the medical equipment on the donkey cart, and suddenly thought of a question, "There are not many donkey carts, where should we sit?"
Meng Heng also found out, "You won't let us sit on the instrument."
Zhou Wei said from the side: "You are so beautiful, it would be nice not to let you hold the instrument."
After all the instruments were fixed on the donkey carts, there were only two donkey carts left empty.
Director Gu was not polite at all, and greeted two elderly doctors, a female gynecologist, and a head nurse in her 40s to get into the car.
"There is a car behind, you can arrange it yourself." After speaking, Director Gu gave the order to enter the village.
Tang Muchen and others were dumbfounded. A donkey cart can accommodate at most five or six people, and there are nearly NO.20 people left on their side. How can they ride?
Although the accompanying nurses didn't move, as men, they definitely wouldn't grab a car from a woman.
A middle-aged doctor in the Department of Internal Medicine suggested that the nurses should go up and six of them would walk into the village.
Tang Muchen took a look at his luggage, and knew that he should go out with a backpack like Meng Heng.
"There are dirt roads ahead, do you want to pick up the suitcase?" Crossing the suet road near the hospital, they turned into the trail.
Tang Muchen shook his head, "No, the quality of this suitcase is not bad, it shouldn't fall apart."
If they were carried, they would be left behind, and it would be bad if they got lost.
The people in Lixian County who passed by looked at them like monkeys, and they were all dressed up brightly. Are they really doctors who have gone to the countryside?
Two hours later, Tang Muchen and others came to the countryside under Li County. At this moment, he finally knew why Gu Chengyuan said that the conditions here were not good.
Not to mention the potholes on the road, he couldn't see a single stone house in the whole village, they were all adobe houses.
The village head was dressed in 80s clothes and brought a group of villagers to greet him. Apparently the county had notified them.
It's just that there are more than 20 people in the village, and there is simply no room for them.
Director Gu thought of this a long time ago, and comforted the village chief, "We brought tents, and we will not stay at the villagers' houses."
In the end, the village head arranged them to the grain drying field, which was very empty because the grain was not ripe.
Everyone started to act, and the young and strong villagers came to help.
The medical equipment was unloaded from the donkey cart, and the arrangement was completed soon.
A temporary medical center was established, and Dr. Gu discussed with the village head about arranging for the villagers to check their bodies.
The village head was very polite to these doctors who went to the countryside, "You guys rest today, and I will let them come over one after another at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Director Gu looked at the medical staff who had been tossed hard, and didn't let them go to work immediately.
But to be honest, these medical staff really lack training.
If there is a war, it will not work in their state.
Tang Muchen and Meng Heng were arranged in a tent instead of living in those adobe houses, and he was obviously relieved.
Those houses looked unsafe, some of the walls were crooked.
Just as they were about to start a fire and cook, a little girl with braids came over in a donkey cart, led by a young man.
"Director Gu, I'm here to deliver watermelons to you." The young man shouted from afar.
Director Gu said with a smile on his face, "Li Feng, I'm sorry to trouble you."
"No trouble, I'll unload the watermelon for you next to the well, and it will taste even better if you soak it in well water." The young man carried the watermelon out of the car.
The little girl also jumped down from behind, not knowing if she made a big move, and coughed twice.
Tang Muchen's ears moved, and he came to the little girl, "Did you catch a cold a few days ago?"
The little girl was a little surprised, "How does the big brother know?"
Tang Muchen raised his hand and rubbed her head, the little girl was seven years old, she looked very cute, but the clothes looked big and old, it should be given to her by someone else.
"It's not okay to call me brother, you have to call me uncle." Tang Muchen smiled slightly, the little girl's call "brother" lowered everyone's seniority.
The little girl changed her words and obediently called her uncle.
Tang Muchen took out a lozenge from his pocket, "This is for you."
The little girl didn't pick it up, because her father didn't let her ask for other people's things.
Seeing the little girl turned to look at the young man, Tang Muchen straightened up and said, "Your daughter's throat is still a little inflamed. These are throat lozenges. Just take a few."
"Niuniu, thank you uncle." The young man said to his daughter.
The little girl took the candy Tang Muchen handed her, "Thank you uncle."
"Come to my place tomorrow morning, and I'll get you candy again." Tang Muchen said to the little girl, this is medicine, not real candy, and he was afraid that if he gave out too much, it would be bad for the little girl to eat too much.
The little girl responded, and her affection for Tang Muchen doubled.
