Chapter 114 Come Back Alive
Director Wang pulled a key from the bunch of keys at his waist, opened a room on the first floor, and said to the men, "The comrades in this room have all gone to the Military Region Hospital. You six can stay here. Put your things down and wait for me downstairs. I'll take these two women upstairs first."
After reaching the upper floor, Director Wang found the key and unlocked a room near the stairs. He said to Yun Qiao and Jiang Hua, "You two can sleep in this room. Put on your coats, put down your other things, and follow me downstairs."
Yun Qiao and Jiang Hua put the things in their hands into the house and obediently changed into their robes.
After coming out of the room, Director Wang took out the key from the key ring and handed it to Yun Qiao and Jiang Zhan as he walked downstairs. "This is the room key. Who of you keeps it?"
Jiang Hua took the initiative and said, "I'm a few years older than Comrade Ye, so I'll keep it."
Director Wang nodded and handed the key to Jiang Hua: "Then you must keep it safe. This is the only key I have. If you lose it, it will be gone."
Jiang Hua agreed: "Don't worry, Director Wang, I will keep it safe."
After going downstairs, he met up with six male medical workers downstairs. Director Wang said to them, "Put on your medical gowns too."
After giving the male staff the keys to the downstairs room, Director Wang added, "Although the staff haven't agreed to lend you their beds, you still have to be clean and not dirty them. Especially the men, wash your hair regularly and don't be sloppy. Don't go to bed without washing your feet at night."
Director Wang's eyes fell on one of the male comrades, and it was him who was being addressed.
The gay man's ears were red and almost bleeding, and he replied shyly, "I know."
After the accommodation was assigned, Director Wang gave each of them a temporary meal ticket. With this temporary meal ticket, they could eat in the cafeteria without paying money or using food coupons.
"Take your meal tickets. We won't replace them if you lose them. Keep your room keys safe, too. Don't come back looking for them if you can't get into the room. It'll be a hassle." Director Wang said, and led them out. "Let's go to the outpatient building. I'll arrange your internship."
Director Wang first led the eight of them around the various departments in the outpatient building, and five of them were left behind.
Afterwards, he took the three remaining people, Yun Qiao, Jiang Hua, and Lu Yingjie, to the hospital building.
After knocking on the office door, Director Wang said to the person inside, "Head Nurse Yu, these three comrades are newly qualified health workers who have just passed the examination. They have been sent by the Health Bureau to help you for a few days. Please make arrangements for them."
Head nurse Yu Lu nodded: "Okay, I understand. Thank you for your help."
After sending the person there, Director Wang left.
Yu Lu put down the shift schedule in her hand, looked at them and said, "Please introduce yourself first. Tell me your name, age, and what you can do."
Yu Lu first called on the only gay man, Lu Yingjie: "You go first."
Lu Yingjie said, "Head nurse, my name is Lu Yingjie. I'm seventeen years old today. I'm a veteran employee of the Sixth Regiment and can diagnose some simple and common illnesses."
Jiang Hua was next: "Hello, Head Nurse Yu. My name is Jiang Hua. I'm thirteen years old and from the Ninth Regiment. My father is a doctor at the Ninth Regiment Headquarters Hospital. I've learned medicine from him for ten years. As long as it's not a difficult or complicated case, I can basically treat it."
Finally, it was Yun Qiao: "Hello, Head Nurse. My name is Ye Yun Qiao. I'm seventeen years old. I'm a sent-down youth from the Fifth Company of the Third Regiment. In addition to treating some common illnesses, I also know first aid, bandaging, bone setting, and acupuncture."
"I know quite a lot, but unfortunately this is the inpatient department, so I don't do consultations. Since you guys haven't been assigned here to help me these days, you have to know what I need." Yu Lu asked, "Do you know how to give acupuncture?"
Han Yingjie shook his head: "I learned it, but I haven't tried it yet."
