Chapter 617 Encountering an old friend in a foreign land

When the doctors arrived at the peacekeeping camp, they received an unprecedented warm welcome.The United Nations peacekeeping force in Bolitanvia is a joint team composed of many countries.In addition to Chinese peacekeepers, there are also soldiers from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Nigeria.Soldiers from the four countries lined up neatly under the leadership of officers, armed with weapons, and lined up to welcome them.

However, it turns out that the enthusiasm of the soldiers is a wink thrown to the blind.When the convoy entered the camp, the Chinese doctors in the car were sleeping staggeringly, and few of them saw the welcome ceremony.

The act of winking at the blind also includes a sumptuous welcome banquet.Probably because I haven't met other compatriots in the mission area for a long time, or it may be because the people's soldiers have always been so enthusiastic about the people.In short, the chef on the peacekeeping team presented a sumptuous welcome dinner to all members of the medical team.

A group of tired doctors who couldn't keep their eyes open sat in front of the round table, looking at the dozen or so carefully prepared meals on the table, but they just couldn't get up the energy to eat.Everyone's thinking about the same thing - finish this meal quickly and get on with catching up on sleep.

Of course, not all doctors are as sleepy as Chen Tianyang.The female doctors who were left in the small village before and did not rush to the American camp with Sun Li'en and the others had a good rest.I don't know if it is to make them feel that they are about to go home, but today's dinner is full of dishes with a special domestic flavor.For example, the stainless steel washbasin placed in the center of the round table... there are handfuls of bamboo sticks inside.There are also various sliced ​​meat, quail eggs and even vegetables on the bamboo sticks.

Isn't this cold pot skewers!The female doctors suddenly regained their spirits. They haven't eaten this kind of food for two years.

There are not only cold pot skewers, but if you look carefully, there are many domestic snacks on the table.Finger cakes, casserole noodles, cold noodles, baked cold noodles, and even a cup of milk tea with condensation in front of everyone.Although the milk tea is served in a green enamel jar, if you stir it with an iron spoon, you can even see black pearls underneath.

"Originally, according to the scheduled plan, we should be able to see all the doctors last night." A senior colonel presided over the welcome party. He and other officers in military uniforms and blue berets greeted the doctors. Raising the army green enamel mug in his hand, "Because of the environment and the discipline of the army, we have no wine at the welcome party tonight. But I personally think that in this environment, a glass of iced pearl milk tea may be better than Moutai. To your liking."

The female doctors laughed one after another, while the male doctors looked around dully, not sure whether they should laugh along with them, or simply raise their army green enamel cups to toast.

"This cup is not only to welcome you." The colonel raised the cup in his hand and said seriously to the doctors, "It is also to thank you...thank you for your humanitarian relief work during this period in Politanea. "

Sun Lien held the enamel cup in front of him, thought for a while, and handed the cup to Hu Jia beside him.It is estimated that Hu Jia has never tasted milk tea since he came to study in the UK.Sun Li'en looked around, but he didn't see any refillable utensils on the dining table.He guessed that this thing is probably limited supply, one cup per person.So after a little thought, he handed the milk tea in his hand to Hu Jia.

"I don't really want to drink something cold." Sun Li'en explained in such a low voice, he looked at the senior colonel who was speaking, and his expression relaxed a lot.This is a military camp, no matter how arrogant those militants are, they will not directly attack here.

According to Liu Tangchun's arrangement, the next trip will end within a few hours - they will start from this camp by land, cross the border north and enter Tanzania.After entering Tanzania, the medical team is considered safe—at least compared to Politanvia, the Tanzanian government and military have a higher degree of control over the environment and security.

"Your work in Bolitanvia has played a vital role in alleviating ethnic conflicts." The colonel raised the enamel cup a little higher, "Your work is the same as ours, and it contributes to the local social order." and public safety. This cup of milk tea is also a tribute to our colleagues.” Holding the cup, he blinked and said with a smile, “Thanks to the mission period, I really can’t drink it.” Used to Moutai."

The Chinese doctors laughed knowingly, but the military officers from other countries present at the dinner obviously couldn't understand the joke.The five official languages ​​of the United Nations are used in the peacekeeping force, and there is nothing impolite about speaking in Chinese.But whether people understand it or not is another matter.

The dinner was very casual. Of course, in addition to the casual atmosphere deliberately created by the peacekeeping troops, the dishes also played a very important role-few women could keep calm in the face of the long-absent milk tea and roasted cold.And the finger cakes and cold pot skewers are indeed unpalatable and elegant.The military officers from other countries who attended the banquet left the venue after finishing their portion of the dinner.Before long, there were basically only Chinese doctors and Chinese soldiers left here.

"Doctor Sun, long time no see." Sun Lien was gnawing on a chicken paw soaked in cold pot skewers when he suddenly heard someone beside him greet him.Looking back, Sun Li'en really found an acquaintance.

The status bar saved Sun Lien from the embarrassment of not being able to remember the other party's name, "Liu Chuang? Why are you here?" The person who came was Liu Chuang, the young military officer who brought the son of the commander of the Tanzanian Armored Forces to see a doctor in the Fourth Hospital.After not seeing him for more than a year, Liu Chuang already had a two-star military rank on his shoulders.

"I graduated, and when I left the company, it happened to be our turn to go to Northern Europe for training." Liu Chuang said with a smile, "I didn't expect that the company would be assigned to the peacekeeping force."

It is an exciting thing to meet an old friend in a foreign land.Sun Li'en is happier now than when he met Lin Hua, a military doctor in Sanya - he doesn't know Lin Hua very well, but he and Liu Chuang have met a lot more.Later, when Rawls received follow-up treatment in the Fourth Hospital, he met Liu Chuang several times.

"How is Rawls? Is he still in the country?" Sun Lien asked curiously. Rawls was the first foreigner he treated.And the disease he was suffering from was sickle cell disease, which is very rare in China.The Hematology Department of the Fourth Hospital published several articles based on Rawls' case, but Rawls was discharged after half a month of hospitalization.Therefore, the article lacks follow-up follow-up reports.

"He has already returned to China." Liu Chuang pointed to the north, "He is now the captain of the Tanzanian Army Armored Forces, and has become the deputy battalion commander... What's more, their troops are still stationed at the northern border. Go. It's about two hours' drive from here."

"It's a pity that I can't see him now." Liu Chuang sighed, "The discipline in the army is very strict, and we can't contact foreigners casually. They are in Tanzania - and it is impossible for me to cross the border to meet my old classmates. .”

Sun Li'en and Liu Chuang chatted a few more words, and then heard Liu Tangchun's call.

"Li En, there are still about two days before our departure. Don't be idle these few days, and add burdens to yourself." Liu Tangchun looked radiant, in stark contrast to Chen Tianyang, who was sluggish. "There is a peacekeeping hospital in the camp, and they are also dealing with the medical needs of local residents recently. Tomorrow morning, you will go to the hospital with Dr. Wang." He looked at Sun Li'en and said seriously, "You don't directly contact the patients, you only read the medical records And the treatment process, understand?"

Sun Li'en's face was too dark. If he was to treat patients, he would have to have many strange diseases.Liu Tangchun knew this well.But Sun Li'en had to go back to China in a few weeks just to make a trip to Africa. Anyway, Old Comrade Liu felt a little flustered.

It's better to let Sun Li'en see more patients.
