Chapter 121 Medical Team Goes to the Countryside
The medical team went to the countryside, but the people didn't hear a word about it. There were only two possibilities: either nothing happened, but there was no need for the medical team to be on Dongming Island, or the situation was serious and the organization had issued a secret order to block the news, not wanting too many people to know the truth, so as to avoid chaos.
They are all military wives. With their husbands away from home, they should be even more determined to hold the fort and not lose their composure. Otherwise, wouldn't they become a laughing stock?
“Cen Yan, if you need anything for your trip to the countryside, just tell your sisters-in-law, and we'll do our best to get it for you,” Wang Lijuan said.
Cen Yan picked up two sets of clothes to change into. "Teacher's wife, don't worry. The medical team has everything you need. There's no need for you sisters-in-law to worry. Don't panic too much at home. Just live your lives as usual. I'll try to send you any news."
She has everything in the space, so she doesn't need the military wives to crowdfund for her. She just hopes to travel light, not hold anyone back, and be able to help Qi Jingchuan and the people of Xiangyang Brigade.
With Cen Yan's words, the sisters-in-law finally felt at ease and clasped their hands in prayer.
"I hope the Bodhisattva will bless my husband so he can be well, and I also hope for peace and prosperity for the country, and that we will escape unscathed. Amitabha, Amitabha..."
"Are you out of your mind, leading the way in promoting feudal superstition?"
"What time is it? You still won't let me find someone to rely on?"
There's no need for that.
The sisters-in-law started talking amongst themselves, which eased the tense atmosphere considerably.
Cen Yan arrived at the health center carrying a small, lightweight leather suitcase.
The medical team, consisting of thirty people, split into three groups and headed to several production teams around Dongming Island.
They went there in a truck carrying supplies, but the mountain road was slippery, so they could only drive slowly.
It was pouring rain outside, and everyone sitting on the side was soaked. If it weren't for the rain cover on the back of the truck, the situation would be even worse.
"Cen Yan, I miss Zhou Chen."
In the corner of the truck bed, Yang Mei rested her head on Cen Yan's shoulder and sobbed softly, "The countryside must be very dangerous now. What will Zhou Chen do if I can't get back?"
What can you do? You've only been dating for a few days. Zhou Chen can't possibly remain celibate for you.
Cen Yan patted Yang Mei's head and said, "Don't talk nonsense. We are a medical team, guarding the rear. If anything happens, someone will be carrying the burden for us. What we need to do is to be 120% serious and do our best to save lives and treat the wounded."
"You're so calm. I wonder if Zhou Chen is thinking about me. Anyway, I miss him terribly. A day apart feels like three autumns," Yang Mei said softly.
Cen Yan couldn't stand the love-struck girl anymore, so she gently pushed her away. "I have a thermos in my suitcase with ginger tea in it. Let's all have some together, so we don't collapse as soon as we arrive."
Using the small suitcase as cover, Cen Yan took out a thermos from her spatial storage. It was ginger water that she had boiled before leaving, piping hot and meant to ward off the cold.
On such a rainy day, especially in late autumn, with a chilly feel, it's no wonder you'd get sick if you weren't prepared for a downpour.
"Did everyone bring enamel mugs? I have some ginger water here; feel free to come and get some if you need it," Cen Yan said after pouring herself and Yang Mei a glass of ginger water.
"I want!"
"I want one too!"
"Nurse Cen is so thoughtful, she even prepared ginger water."
As Cen Yan served ginger water to people, she smiled and said, "That's because you're all so compassionate and considerate of the patients that you didn't think of such details. I hope you'll all take good care of me after I go to the countryside, and please give me some pointers if I don't understand anything."
"Don't mention it! We'd really appreciate Nurse Cen's guidance, haha!"
"Ginger water is so good. It's piping hot. After taking a big sip, I feel all warm and cozy. Nurse Cen, thank you for thinking of us."
Cen Yan: "No need, it's all what I should do."
Pang Ziyang waited and waited, then shoved the enamel mug in front of Cen Yan, saying, "I want one too!"
