In March 1979, the war continued, and from time to time, wounded soldiers on the front lines were sent back to the rear, and reinforcements from elsewhere would fill their gaps.
Because of the war, the school had been closed, and many students volunteered to help care for the wounded. Liu Yanran met many of her classmates and Gu Shiyuan here.
With the arrival of reinforcements, the food supply in the canteen became more scarce, and most of the time only coarse grains such as porridge, pickles, steamed corn bread and sweet potatoes were available.
For ordinary people, this amount of food was barely enough to meet their nutritional needs, let alone the injured soldiers. Liu Yanran saw this and felt extremely anxious, but even though reform and opening up had already begun, purchasing food still required coupons.
In the end, she decided to use her own space to place an order through her mobile phone and donate anonymously. Although this is costly, what is it compared to life?
In addition to the supply problem, medical care also faced a severe test. Although it was possible to order medicines through the app, the production dates and packaging were very different from those of today. Moreover, although Western medicine had been introduced in this era, many modern medicines were not available.
Moreover, because there were so many injured people, the medical room was not enough and the medical staff were overwhelmed. Liu Yanran looked at the suffering soldiers and the busy medical staff, her heart filled with helplessness and sadness.
This was her first time to face the cruelty of war, which made her deeply realize the fragility and preciousness of life.
Just when Liu Yanran felt helpless, the medical reinforcements sent by the army finally arrived. They brought more medical equipment and medicines, and also set up a temporary medical tent, relieving the pressure on the medical room.
Liu Yanran felt a little relieved as she watched the newly arrived medical staff. However, she was even more surprised to meet a special person here—An Xu, who would become her best friend.
An Xu was born into a military family. Her father and mother were both high-ranking generals in the army. Growing up in a military camp, she was deeply influenced by her family tradition and has a deep affection for the military. This affection is reflected not only in her thoughts and ideas, but also in her behavior and career choices.
An Xu has been diligent and studious since childhood. With excellent grades, she was admitted to a military medical university, majoring in Western medicine. During her time at the university, she excelled, received multiple scholarships, and actively participated in various military rescue operations.
After graduation, she joined the army and became a highly acclaimed military doctor. However, she was not satisfied with this and continued to learn and explore, raising her medical skills to a higher level.
Initially, the two were strangers. An Xu was a doctor, and Liu Yanran a volunteer. However, one night, Liu Yanran, under cover of darkness, went to her rented warehouse to restock provisions. This caught An Xu's attention, and she suspected Liu Yanran might be a spy, so she decided to follow her. Although An Xu was a doctor, she had received professional training, and Liu Yanran was completely unaware of the person following her.
Later, An Xu witnessed Liu Yanran enter the warehouse and stay there for about two hours before emerging. This confirmed her suspicions, so she planned to inform her grandfather, the former head of the local military region, the next day and request that he arrange for someone to investigate and arrest Liu Yanran.
However, something unexpected happened. The next day, the political commissar led a group of people to transport grain and happened to run into the person sent by the chief to investigate. The person immediately returned to report to the chief, and eventually learned that it was all a misunderstanding.
An Xu, a straightforward person, took the initiative to invite Liu Yanran to meet and apologize. Liu Yanran was extremely nervous at the time, almost thinking that the secret of her space possession had been exposed. Fortunately, An Xu did not follow her into the warehouse; if she had seen so much food appear out of thin air, she would probably have been terrified.
Later, An Xu also thought that Liu Yanran had bought the food from the black market. After all, in those days, how many people didn't secretly go to the black market to trade in order to have enough food? Now, apart from the grain management office, the black market is probably the only place that can raise so much food. Liu Yanran saw that An Xu had misunderstood and didn't explain. This understanding was also good. Later, Liu Yanran just hoped that An Xu would keep it a secret for her, and An Xu happily agreed.
After An Xu apologized to Liu Yanran, the two gradually became familiar with each other. They began chatting and sharing their lives and experiences. An Xu discovered that although Liu Yanran appeared fragile, she was actually very strong and independent. Her unique perspectives and way of thinking made An Xu increasingly interested in her.
Liu Yanran gradually let down her guard against An Xu and found that he was actually a kind, honest and responsible person. As time went by, their relationship became closer and closer, and they became good friends who could talk about anything.
They ate and walked together every day, sharing each other's joys and sorrows. This simple and beautiful friendship made Liu Yanran feel extremely warm and happy.
An Xu was not only an exceptional military doctor, but she also showed no sign of complacency due to her privileged family background. Instead, she displayed admirable qualities: exceptional intelligence, determination, and a kind heart. Her arrival was like a ray of light shining into Liu Yanran's life, bringing a touch of warmth and hope. They quickly became close friends, sharing everything, their joys and sorrows.
An Xu honestly expressed to Liu Yanran her deepest dream: to become a top doctor, wholeheartedly helping those in dire need. She was passionate about medicine and constantly learning new things to improve her medical skills.
