Chapter 204

Someone at the base started vomiting and having diarrhea after lunch. The military doctor and medical staff at the base examined him and said that he had eaten something unclean.

They didn't want the situation to get worse, and there was only one doctor on duty at the city hospital today, New Year's Eve, who had just completed his internship. Captain Li and his men asked Luo Xin to find Weisheng.

Shi Dongzhi drove at breakneck speed. Before even reaching the main gate, Luo Xin shouted a few times to the guards. Knowing the urgency of the situation, one of them opened the gate to let the car in, while the other trotted in. After the car stopped and they were sure Shi Dongzhi was the only one inside, Luo Xin and Weisheng returned to their posts.

He is a flexible person.

As soon as the car stopped, Weisheng praised the young soldier in his heart and ran to the infirmary with his first aid kit.

Arriving at the infirmary, Weisheng noticed that quite a few people were already gathered inside and outside. Some were there to help, while others were waiting for treatment.

"sister in law."

"sister in law."

Weisheng squeezed in, and many soldiers made way for her and called her "sister-in-law" when they saw her.

Seeing this, Weisheng walked in, saying "OK, OK, OK" to the young soldiers who called her sister-in-law. Once inside the infirmary, Weisheng discovered the situation was even more serious.

Handing his medicine box to the young soldier beside him, Weisheng immediately checked the patient who was already in a semi-comatose state on the bed.

He first looked at the eyes, then the mouth and tongue, and only then began to take the pulse. While taking the pulse, he asked the military doctor about the specific condition.

Xia Qing was already sweating profusely from his busy work. Weisheng was a skilled doctor with a great reputation in the garrison. Seeing Weisheng come in, he heaved a sigh of relief.

She had too many patients and was severely short-staffed. She called the city hospital, but couldn't reach them immediately because many doctors were on break. The interns had little experience, so apart from making an emergency medication adjustment, they couldn't find any help.

On the way, Luo Xin mentioned this to Weisheng. Now that he met Xia Qing, combined with his own diagnosis, Weisheng could conclude that it was food poisoning caused by eating stale frozen fish.

Today is New Year's Eve. At noon, both the cafeteria and the family quarters purchased frozen fish.

Western Province is close to the Gobi Desert, with scarce resources, no sea, and no large lakes, so people can only eat fish a few times a year.

Last month, the logistics department heard that the supply and marketing cooperative had received a batch of frozen fish, so they sent someone to the family quarters to take a count and then purchased a truckload of them.

They were all transported back in lumps, and when they arrived at the base, the kitchen staff and the families divided them up among themselves.

This kind of unified purchasing is very common here at the base, but no one expected that there would be problems with this batch of frozen fish.

You can't see anything when it's frozen, but after you clean it up and stew it with vinegar and chili, it's even harder to tell.

Accidents occurred in every household in the family compound. Among the soldiers stationed there, some ate fish while others did not. By comparing the two, they identified the batch of frozen fish.

The most direct and effective way to treat food poisoning is to induce vomiting and diarrhea. People with good health can handle it, but those with poor health really can't stand it.

Before Weisheng came, many people had experienced vomiting and diarrhea several times, but the situation had not improved much.

Weisheng took the pulse of each soldier one by one, then opened his medicine box and took out a whole bottle of detoxification pills made with spiritual spring water. He called Luo Xin who followed him in and asked him to give one pill to all the poisoned soldiers.

Luo Xin held up the medicine bottle and asked Wei Sheng, "Is it only given to soldiers?"

"Yes, the soldiers are in good physical condition, and catharsis can also be used." Weisheng took out another medicine bottle from the medicine box and signaled the medical staff in the infirmary to bring some warm water. Then he explained to Luo Xin and the patients in the room:

"Family members' health is generally not as good as that of soldiers, so the elderly and children must be detoxified using another method. After distributing the medicine, take them to the public restroom. If anything seems unsettled, send them to the infirmary immediately."

"yes."

Luo Xin nodded in understanding and replied to Wei Sheng. The soldiers who heard Wei Sheng's words all lined up with Luo Xin to receive detoxification pills, and then headed towards the public toilet.

In just this one moment, two-thirds of the people in the infirmary were gone.

Weisheng found a bottle of blood-replenishing and qi-invigorating pills and asked the nurse to give them to the elderly and children first. Then he took out silver needles and carefully detoxified the pregnant woman and protected the fetus.

Fortunately, pregnant women have a keen sense of smell and eat less fish, otherwise, after all this trouble, the child would not be saved and the adults would also be in danger.

The nurse brought the warm water over, and Weisheng turned around and added a lot of spiritual spring water while mixing the pills into it.

Those who needed to stop diarrhea were given silver needles first, while those who didn't were given warm water with elixir and spiritual spring water. Then, together with the military doctors and medical staff, some of the patients were given injections and infusions...

Weisheng was busy from three or four in the afternoon until midnight. He took the pulse of all the soldiers and their families who had eaten fish, whether they had symptoms or not, and made sure that the situation was temporarily stable. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Speaking of which, Captain Li had asked Shi Dongzhi to bring back a bunch of frozen fish. But Weisheng took the opportunity to repair the machine for someone and secretly took out two live fish from the space.

Captain Li and Political Commissar Gao had been guarding here. When they saw Shi Dongzhi, they asked him if he had eaten the fish.

Shi Dongzhi shook his head. If he really ate the fish, he would probably not be able to come again.

However, their family also ate fish at noon today, but it was fish in sauce made from live fish.

By the way, during the meal, Su also asked when the winter solstice in Huyang City would begin.

While the winters in Huyang City aren't as cold as those in the north, they're not much warmer either. Frozen food at home is always vulnerable to sudden temperature increases. Knowing the patterns of seasonal changes in advance allows us to eat frozen food in advance, or prepare it for pickling, smoking, or curing, thus avoiding food waste.

By the way, Su had previously asked Weisheng whether he wanted to dry the fish that Captain Li and his men sent him and steam it for later.

╮(╯▽╰)╭

Weisheng will stay at the base for two more days. She will only return to the city after this wave of food poisoning is completely over.

In order to facilitate the response to emergencies, Political Commissar Gao directly asked someone to clean up the room next to the infirmary for Weisheng, and then asked someone to go to the logistics department to get bedding, kettles and other items.

Seeing that Weisheng had settled in, Shi Dongzhi returned to his dorm. The next morning, Shi Dongzhi asked Luo Xin to go to the rental house again. Firstly, to inform Su Shi about the situation so she wouldn't worry, and secondly, to ask Su Shi to help Weisheng pack some things and bring them over.

Knowing that her son and daughter-in-law were fine, Su Shi wasn't really worried. However, she had been getting along well with the families in the family quarters these days, so she found more than ten pounds of millet at home and followed Luo Xin to the army.

In Su's opinion, egg water mixed with rice soup is the most nutritious, and millet porridge is good for nourishing the stomach. Bringing millet to visit a patient is really a sign of sincerity.

When they arrived at the base, they met Weisheng and his family members. They gave some of the millet they brought to the families and asked Shi Dongzhi to take the rest to the kitchen staff to feed the young soldiers.

Originally, they wanted her to stay at the base for two days and then go back with Weisheng, but she was worried about home and said she had to go back to feed the chickens and cats.

So seeing that it was getting late, Su rode her bicycle back to the rental yard.

Weisheng stayed at the base for six or seven days, and was only sent back by Shi Dongzhi after the soldiers and their families were safe.

This time, although it was also voluntary help, everyone from the top to the bottom was grateful to Weisheng. If it weren't for Weisheng, the young military wife's pregnancy would definitely not have been saved, and the elderly and the child would have been half dead.

It's a pity that during the winter solstice, Weisheng couldn't join the army...

Many people knew that Shi Dongzhi did exercises when he had free time. After asking him, they found out that he wanted to apply to a military academy.

Some people didn't quite understand why he did this and thought it was unnecessary, while others vaguely guessed what he was doing and quietly started reviewing as well.

Shi Dongzhi: ...there are suddenly a lot more competitors!

There are two common types of love in this era: one is marriage first, love later, and the other is love first, marriage later. Obviously, Shi Dongzhi belongs to the former.

Influenced by the ideas that have been instilled in him for a long time, Shi Dongzhi has always believed that getting married is something that must be done.

He went home to visit his relatives and then went on a blind date. The girl was young, beautiful and gentle, and Shi Dongzhi couldn't find any reason to refuse.

It was not until this visit that he discovered that the wife in his memory completely overturned his cognition.

First there is pride from the inside out, and then there is inferiority from the outside in.

Make yourself better for the people you love.

Make yourself better and then make yourself worthy of the person you like.

It felt like the same thing, but also different. But Shi Dongzhi felt that the person he liked... preferred the latter statement.

If you like someone, you will notice all her preferences and little habits.

She doesn't like eating onions, ginger and garlic in dishes, but she still likes to add some when she cooks, and then pick them out little by little when eating.

But she also likes to eat the whole garlic and minced garlic in the casserole...

She liked the burnt crust on the bottom of the tortilla and also liked the skin on the top, so the tortillas my mother made were long and thin.

She loves beauty very much and always puts various things on her face before going to bed, which makes her smell nice and look smooth.

She also loves cleanliness and always washes and soaks her feet before going to bed. If I go home and don't wash and soak my feet like her, even if I don't say anything, I will keep a distance from her in my actions.

She doesn't like to laugh much, even though she often smiles at people, and sometimes her eyes and eyebrows are curved when she smiles, but if you look closely you will find that her smile does not reach her eyes.

When she wasn't smiling, she exuded a sense of indifference and alienation that kept people at a distance.

When he gives orders with a cold face, his aura is so strong that people obey his orders unconsciously.

By the way, even though she often heals patients and saves lives, her heart is not soft. No matter how severe the injuries are, no matter how touching the separation of life and death, it seems that nothing can truly move her.

That day, the cultural troupe came to perform at the base, and Shi Dongzhi saw the third battalion commander talking to a young girl in a corner. Captain Zhang was nervous and embarrassed, and the young girl blushed with embarrassment.

At that moment, Shi Dongzhi was wondering whether the girl he liked had ever been so innocent.

It seemed like she was this shy on the day of our blind date, but the memory of our first meeting was becoming increasingly blurred, gradually replaced by the person before her.

Now she is calm, composed, and cool, as if she would remain calm even if Mount Tai collapsed...

Shi Dongzhi cherishes every opportunity to be tutored by Weisheng, and has always tried hard to make Weisheng see him.

One was hardworking and motivated, and the other was willing to provide tutoring. So in the spring of 1973, after more than a year of study, Shi Dongzhi was able to get a place in the military academy through the written test after being recommended within the army.

When Shi Dongdao received the notice from Captain Li, there were less than ten days left before reporting to the military academy, so Captain Li directly gave him a vacation.

After Shi Dongzhi finished handing over his work, he took his luggage and returned to the rental house.

The radio was placed in the yard, playing a storytelling program with no beginning or end.

Su was tending to the various vegetables planted in the yard, while Weisheng was sitting in the yard using scissors to cut the picked beans into shreds.

The white-clawed tabby cat was lying at the door with its belly exposed, and from time to time it would use its little paws to scratch the door curtain.

The door curtain is made by twisting candy wrappers, paper shells, and paper clips one by one, then stringing them together and hanging them up. The colors are bright and beautiful, and they can also keep out mosquitoes.

Looking inside through the gap in the courtyard gate, for a moment, Shi Dongzhi didn't want to disturb the tranquility and comfort of the room.

But the kitten seemed to have heard his movement, and it rolled over and stood up, tilting its round little head and looking over with its round eyes wide open.

'Man, you're back from hunting, why don't you come in?'

Looking into those cat eyes, Shi Dongzhi seemed to see doubt in those eyes.

Just as the kitten was walking towards the gate step by step, Shi Dongzhi shook his head and chuckled while knocking on the gate.

Hearing the knock on the door, Weisheng glanced at Su, who was squatting there picking tomatoes, put down his scissors, and stood up to open the door. At the same time, he called out towards the courtyard gate, "Who is it?"

"I!"

“It’s the winter solstice!”

Shi Dongzhi only said "I", but Su Shi heard it, and Weisheng had already reached out to open the gate.

Their eyes met, and Shi Dongzhi nervously and expectantly handed the admission letter to Weisheng, "I, I passed."
