So why did Wang Xiaolan choose to establish this sanatorium in a remote, inaccessible mountain location? The reason was simple: she didn't want these advanced equipment and instruments to be known to the outside world. This way, she could protect her health from outsiders while maintaining the sanatorium's uniqueness and privacy. She could also contribute a small part to the nation.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile and said softly, "I'm just like that. If I decide to do something, I'll do it to the best of my ability. So when transporting these equipment tomorrow, everyone must be very careful and cautious. There must not be any bumps or damage. I asked a friend to buy these from the port city. They are not only precious, but also involve great risks. Liu San, you know why I'm telling you this."
"Sister, don't worry, I understand what you are saying."
As he spoke, he quickly and carefully put the list in his hand into his bag, then patted his chest and assured, "Sister, you can rest assured. I will definitely protect these equipment like my own children and bring them back intact and safely."
Liu San continued, "Sister, this sanatorium has such advanced equipment that it will surely attract many wealthy people to come for recuperation and treatment. If that happens, our sanatorium will probably be overcrowded."
Wang Xiaolan smiled slightly and responded, "Your concerns are not without reason, but not everyone can come to my convalescent home. First, priority is given to military personnel and retired military personnel. They have made great contributions to the country and its people and deserve better care. Secondly, those who have made significant contributions to the country will also be given priority. As for others, it depends on the specific situation."
After hearing this, Liu San said thoughtfully: "Sister, there will be so many patients as soon as the sanatorium opens, so we should need a lot of doctors and nurses!"
Wang Xiaolan smiled and nodded, then replied, "Yes, I've considered that. However, I've already contacted the medical school regarding the nurse issue. They'll have a group of nurses coming to our school for internships this summer, which will help alleviate the staffing shortage. As for the doctors, I've also made arrangements, and some of my classmates and comrades will be coming to help."
When she said this, she suddenly remembered something and asked Zhaodi beside her, "Have the five nurses I told you about in the letter arrived?"
Zhaodi said, "They are all here. I have arranged for them to stay in the staff dormitory in the hospital."
Wang Xiaolan said, "Let's go and see them."
As they were talking, they unknowingly arrived at the dormitory area for medical staff. At this moment, Wang Xiaolan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she saw several familiar faces!
Those faces were none other than Xiong Juying, Zhang Tingting, Tang Fengmei, Huang Lili, and Lei Jiajia. These were all battlefield paramedics she had treated!
As soon as they saw Wang Xiaolan, they ran over excitedly like children seeing their mother and hugged her tightly.
"Doctor Wang, Doctor Wang, we meet again!" Their voices were filled with joy and excitement.
As Wang Xiaolan looked at her lively and adorable comrades, her mind raced back to those days in the cave. Back then, they were in dire straits, their lives in danger, and she had dedicated all her energy to saving them. Now, seeing them all recover, Wang Xiaolan felt a surge of emotion, tears welling up in her eyes.
Her voice trembled slightly, as if with a hint of uncertainty and worry, and she asked softly, "Are you all recovered?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Tingting smiled widely, and then she jumped lightly in place in front of Wang Xiaolan, as if to show that she had fully recovered.
Seeing this, Wang Xiaolan quickly reached out to hold Zhang Tingting, fearing she might fall or hurt herself. Her tone revealed concern and gentleness, and she smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you have to be careful. You're still recovering, so don't be too reckless. You have to take care of yourself. Do you understand?"
After hearing what Wang Xiaolan said, Zhang Tingting lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly and replied softly, "Yes, I'll listen to you."
Tang Fengmei, who was standing by, slowly pulled out a thick stack of banknotes from her bosom and carefully handed it to Wang Xiaolan, saying softly, "This is my retirement allowance. Although it's not much, it's a small token of my appreciation for the nursing home."
Wang Xiaolan looked at the stack of money with some hesitation in her eyes. She shook her head gently and said, "I can't take this money. This is the hard-earned money you earned with your lives. You should keep it for your future family and career."
Tang Fengmei quickly explained, "I'm not planning on not getting married. I just feel like this place is as warm as my home. I'm willing to treat this place as my home. You won't abandon me as your comrade, will you?"
Wang Xiaolan smiled and comforted her, "Look at what you're saying. You're our comrade-in-arms, sharing life and death with us. How could I possibly abandon you? This will always be your home. You're always welcome here!"
Tang Fengmei put the money in front of Wang Xiaolan without hesitation and said firmly, "Since this is my home, you should accept the money!"
At the same time, several other sisters also took action, took out their money from their pockets without hesitation, and handed it neatly to Wang Xiaolan.
Wang Xiaolan looked at the pile of money in front of her and felt a little touched, but she didn't accept it immediately. Instead, she pondered for a moment and said, "How about this! I'll take your money, but I have a suggestion. Think of it as your shares. How about that? That way, the money can still be put to good use and it can be considered a strong support for my business."
Her words were sincere and firm, making people applaud her ideas.
But after hearing what Wang Xiaolan said, the five comrades didn't know how to respond.
At this time, Zhao Lihan, who was standing aside, said: "It's decided. Stop making excuses. This is a good idea. It can help my wife and everyone can benefit from it." His tone was decisive, and he had already made the decision for everyone.
Wang Xiaolan looked at Zhaodi with a smile and said softly, "Zhaodi, please register this money carefully." After that, she turned around and faced the five comrades standing in a row, her eyes firm and gentle.
She said, "You are the first batch of medical staff in our nursing home. This is a very important job. Next, we will recruit some young nurses, and when the time comes, you will be responsible for training them."
Upon hearing this, the five girls straightened up, their faces showing serious and solemn expressions. They stood in a row, like well-trained soldiers, and raised their right hands together in a standard military salute.
"We guarantee to complete the mission!" They shouted in unison, their voices clear and loud, as if they were issuing a military order to Wang Xiaolan.
At this moment, suddenly, a clear and loud "report" came from behind.
The sudden sound startled everyone present, and they all looked towards the source of the sound.
