After listening to the two soldiers guarding the gate talk about cold-resistance exercises for a while, several people entered the base and went straight to their posts.
Qiao Xuejun and Wang Juanfeng went into the medical department together.
Originally, Wang Juanfeng went out with the patrol team, but the medical resources in the base were completely insufficient in the past few days. There were about a hundred severely malnourished survivors, and the inpatient department was full and there were not enough accommodation, so she was arranged to go to the base to help with emergencies.
Qiao Xuejun walked into the ward area and wanted to find Yuan Zhiyi, but she stopped after taking one step.
The wards are full.
Although people outside are doing cold-resistance exercises, people with weak bodies don't need to participate.
There were many people and a multitude of smells. The heaviest odor was the disinfectant, which was stronger and more pungent than anything she had ever smelled before.
Medical staff walked between the beds, taking care of the patients.
People with severe malnutrition are not just thin, they also suffer from many other complications, the most serious of which are organ failure, as well as night blindness and scurvy caused by vitamin deficiency.
A patient lying in the bed next to Qiao Xuejun was suffering from severe calcium deficiency, which caused him to twitch continuously from time to time.
There are also children of two or three years old.
The condition is complicated and the medical staff are very busy.
Qiao Xuejun glanced over and didn't see Yuan Zhiyi. Walking further in, she saw her sleeping on a portable camp bed against the wall.
When she approached, Yuan Zhiyi was folding up her cot with one hand. Her other hand was still recovering from an injury and couldn't lift anything heavy.
That look was so clumsy.
Qiao Xuejun stepped forward and quickly put it away for her, placing it against the wall.
Yuan Zhiyi limped beside him and accepted it calmly, and thanked him happily: "Thank you, Teacher Qiao!"
After Qiao Xuejun put away her things, she belatedly remembered that she was now a one-handed cripple like Yuan Zhiyi and could not lift anything weighing more than 10 kilograms.
“…”My hands are too fast, that’s a problem.
Qiao Xuejun pretended to be calm: "It's okay."
She immediately wanted to tell Yuan Zhiyi not to tell anyone about her helping to make the bed, but then she thought, this is just a casual favor she wouldn't tell anyone about. Her insistence would only make it seem strange.
Qiao Xuejun: "You don't have a bed?"
Yuan Zhiyi said, "I was released. My wounds have healed well. Today is my last day of hospitalization for observation. My condition is stable and I can be discharged."
Qiao Xuejun looked at the other two people in the sea fort next to him. They were still lying on the hospital beds.
Yuan Zhiyi said: "They both had gunshot wounds, which are more serious. They can't be discharged from the hospital yet."
Qiao Xuejun nodded: "I have something to tell you."
"You need me for something?" Yuan Zhiyi was surprised. "What is it? Is it the thing you talked about with Brother Zhou and the others before?"
Qiao Xuejun looked around and said, "Let's go to the cafeteria and talk."
Yuan Zhiyi nodded: "Okay."
The cafeteria opens at 7 o'clock, and it's 6:30 now, but there are still not many people.
Qiao Xuejun asked, "Are you still singing for the children?"
Yuan Zhiyi said, "No. The Coordination Department has sent all the kids to class these past two days, so they barely have time to play with me."
Qiao Xuejun was curious: "Studying in class?"
Yuan Zhiyi: "You don't know? I used it all to study. I collected a few books and learned to read and study. Uh... I think I also learned some manual work, carpentry, shoe repair and so on."
Qiao Xuejun nodded.
Today's children don't just learn theoretical knowledge, they also learn hands-on skills and gradually develop into a usable workforce.
Qiao Xuejun asked, "I see you like singing. Are you interested in trying singing in the radio studio?"
The First Base has broadcast loudspeakers, which are installed in most areas.
Yuan Zhiyi: "Broadcasting room?"
Qiao Xuejun: "Sing it to everyone in the base."
Yuan Zhiyi's eyes widened: "Really?"
Qiao Xuejun: "If you're willing, I'll coordinate it."
Yuan Zhiyi: "Of course I do. This is my dream, okay?"
Qiao Xuejun looked at the time and was about to get up and take Yuan Zhiyi to the broadcasting room when suddenly someone brought a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Qiao Xuejun and Yuan Zhiyi.
Qiao Xuejun looked up: "Xiao Zheng?"
This is Uncle Zhang’s little apprentice.
Xiao Zheng greeted with a smile: "Teacher Qiao, our chef heard you were here and said there's no need to wait, he'll serve you the meal right away."
During this period, his master kept talking about how hard it was for Teacher Qiao to manage the greenhouse and grow vegetables, and how hard it was to get those rutin eggs.
Qiao Xuejun was a little flattered: "Thank you."
It’s not even dinner time yet.
It is a bowl of potato noodles, cooked until crystal clear, with a thick milk soup base.
Yuan Zhiyi took her bowl and said, "Thank you, Teacher Qiao. I'm also grateful for this."
She first held the bowl and looked at the soup, a little surprised. She raised her eyes and asked Xiao Zheng: "Is this soup made of broth?"
Xiao Zheng said, "It's fish soup. Some fish are too tough to eat, so they have to be boiled repeatedly until they're tender. This is the fish soup after the fish has been boiled and the residue has been removed. It's very delicious."
Yuan Zhiyi immediately took a sip of the soup.
It’s really delicious.
Yuan Zhiyi gave a thumbs up: "That's amazing."
The potato flour is also smooth and chewy, and tastes great.
Yuan Zhiyi: "I declare this to be fish meal."
Qiao Xuejun also started eating. She didn't say anything, just ate at a very fast pace.
She had finished eating, while Yuan Zhiyi opposite her still had half a bowl.
Yuan Zhiyi looked at Qiao Xuejun's empty bowl, a little surprised: "Teacher Qiao, you eat too fast, don't you?"
