Waiting for You in a City - Chapter 30

The Imperial City was extremely dim and deserted for the next week. The smog red warning continued for a full seven days, and the value of pm2.5 was several times crazy to more than 500.

Schools are closed, small shops are closed, and some companies such as emerging industries in cbd and foreign companies have taken vacations to allow employees to work from home.

But this is only a few.

Most of the office workers who are still living are still squeezing the subway, sitting in the bus and driving in their private cars, running on their respective roads. A pair of anti-haze masks cover their faces, and their eyes are blank but numb.

On this day, at 7:30 in the morning, the city was just waking up, and Song Yan had taken the team members to end the fire fighting mission in the middle of the night.

In the winter morning, the temperature is very low.

The firefighters were all soot, cold and tired, and everyone’s face was full of exhaustion. They parked the car next to the fire hydrant on the side of the road to clean the vehicle and hose.

In the gap between adding water to the car, Song Yan was sitting on the road and smoking, probably tired, and his mind was empty, thinking nothing.

Visibility is less than tens of meters around. The gray weather made people feel depressed.

The leader was here, and several soldiers came together and sat on the ground. Song Yan threw the cigarette case to them, each of them took one and silently swallowed the clouds.

Everyone was tired for one night and didn’t want to talk much.

Don’t dare.

People with a discerning eye can see that the Song team is not right these days. The return from this vacation was more depressing than last time. I couldn’t see anything strange when I was on a mission or training. As in the past, I was rigorous and serious.

It seemed to have been moved and crippled.

No one dared to ask.

The air in the winter morning is cold and pungent, making everyone’s expressions tremble.

Xiao Ge shrank his red nose, and said, “I want to take a hot bath now.”

Jiang Yi said: “I can not bathe, give me a place to lie down and let me sleep for three days and nights.”

Yang Chi: “Dream yourself. You still have physical training today.”

Xiao Ge is still entangled in his dirty appearance, saying: “Every time I come back from a task, I have this wish.”

Tong Ming heard, hey smirk: “My wish is to give some hot water, tap water is too cold.”

Li Cheng did not speak, staring at the breakfast shop across the road. The residents nearby were eating breakfast, the steam was coming out, and the smell was tangy.

Yang Chi turned his head and asked Song Yan: “Brother, what about you? What do you want most each time the task ends?”

Song Yan exhaled the smoke and looked at the little young men looking pale in the wind and said, “Everyone is in order.”

Everyone froze in unison, then grinned.

“Don’t laugh, it’s **** darker than a face.” Song Yan took the last cigarette, twisted the cigarette **** from his mouth and wiped it at his feet, stood up, “Leave.”

A group of young men followed up from the ground: “Go back myself.”

Song Yan raised her chin and pointed across: “Fill your stomach first.”

“Good!” Everyone cheered.

A bunch of people walked to the shop early, covered in dust. People around passed by in a hurry, some cast a curious and brief glance, some frowned at their dirty appearance, some turned a blind eye and continued their journey of the day.

Everyone is accustomed to the prosperity and stability of this city, just like it is accustomed to its coldness and indifference.

…

Xu Qin slept this week, and the sleeping pills he got from Pan Qingqing worked. I don’t know if I slept well, but at least I can fall asleep.

On the morning shift, she got up at half past seven.

When washing, morning news is broadcast on the TV in the living room, and the price rises along with pm2.5:

“House prices in the eight districts of the Imperial City have continued to rise, with an average price exceeding 62,100 square meters; of which, Qifeng Road block leads the city, and the average price of the high-end community palm garden has reached 140,000 one level …

Xu Qin washed his face, thinking about the selection of the attending physician soon. If successful, the scope of her surgery will be greatly expanded, and her salary will also increase significantly.

Just after washing, the phone rang. It was from Fu Wenying, saying that it was a routine question about her. Xu Qin knew that she wanted to ask about her recent blind date.

Xu Qin blind dated again. When Fu Wenying proposed, she also objected, but to no avail.

The other party is the son of a certain minister, rich and handsome, knowledgeable and talented, and said to Xu Qin: “You don’t have to do anything, you don’t have to go to work. Just marry into my family and enjoy life with peace of mind, just have a son.

Not as good as Jiang Yu.

Xu Qin said, “I don’t like it.”

Fu Wenying sighed: “Why don’t you look down on it?”

Xu Qin remained silent for a long time, and said softly: “Mom, I said, I have someone I like. Can you–”

Suddenly, there was such an impulse in my heart, and I wanted to make some struggles, but the words didn’t start until they ended, and I knew I was powerless.

The turbulent thoughts of headlessness just now subsided in an instant.

Fu Wenying waited quietly for a while, expecting that she would not dare to speak, and only asked: “Qin Qin, what mom said to you in those years, did not forget it? Listen to mom, okay?”

After the phone hung up, Xu Qin stood there for a while, looked at his watch, and was going to work.

She went to the living room to get the remote control to turn off the TV. The figure of the firefighter appeared on the screen:

“Yesterday afternoon, a child at the door of Xintiandi Square accidentally got stuck in the revolving door. After receiving the police, Qifeng Road Fire Squadron quickly rushed to the rescue …”

Xu Qin’s fingers were dull for a second, as if the mind had opened a small gap, and it seemed that the brain nerves and fingers were out of harmony. After the reaction, he quickly turned off the TV and took the key to go out.

But it was like a glass bottle filled with sand opened a crack, and his hands were desperately trying to intercept, the sand still leaked from the gap.

She was leaning against the elevator wall, standing in the descending elevator, all in front of her in silence from the house that day.

While driving to the hospital, she stopped at a red light port, and her eyes hit the red light again. She forced her mind to be blank, not to think about it.

When this obligatory subconsciousness was about to collapse, she quickly turned her head to look out of the car window, only to see the gray smog, and the tall buildings were hidden in it.

The whole world is depressed and depressed. Unexpectedly, a red car passed by from the sight, the body was as bright as a fire, and a color was drawn on a gray background.

In an instant, the barrier of thinking failed, and she suddenly thought: At this time, what is Song Yan doing in the other corner of the city?

On another block, Song Yan squeezed his soldiers in a small shop for breakfast.

Everyone is already hungry, fried dough sticks, soy milk, noodles, steamed dumplings, steamed dumplings, all brains are on the table, and everything they catch is sent to the mouth.

The indoor heating is large, and the table is next to the steamer in the kitchen. A few days ago, the faces that were white and frozen in the cold wind gradually appeared ruddy.

Song Yan didn’t eat much and was not in a hurry. From time to time he looked up at his brethren, all young soldiers from all over the world. The youngest is 19 years old, and the oldest is only 25.

By next year, he may leave; and some of the first service here will expire next year, unable to stay and settle, facing a job change.

Most of the soldiers in the iron battalion are unable to stay in the army.

Xiao Ge sucked the noodles and asked Jiang Yi: “Brother Jiang, where are you going to retire next year?”

Jiang Yi laughed: “Go back to your hometown and see if you are going to be a security guard or an auto repair.”

Li Cheng said: “Think about other ways, and go to the enterprise to do specialized fire management.”

Jiang Yi said: “There are so many soldiers retreating each year, where can I get my turn. Besides, I come from the countryside, it doesn’t matter if I have no background, I can’t trust people.”

Song Yan didn’t speak, but succumbed to the noodles.

In the past few years, he has sent his comrades to retire and demobilized. Everyone is born of a poor child and has no way out. The skills he learned in the team are out of society. They can only go back to their hometown and do unskilled work to maintain their livelihood.

Come in obscurity and walk in obscurity.

Song Yan diverged the topic: “As I said above, the salary will rise next year.”

Everyone was excited: “How much?”

Song Yan: “Three hundred.”

Everyone was so happy that Yang Chi was silent in his heart, and he smiled and said: “It’s all set and I have collected 4,500 months.”

Li Cheng envy: “I’m only over three thousand.”

Yang Chi said: “You have just come and stay through.”

Li Cheng nodded: “Eh.”

Song Yan smiled faintly and said: “Starting next year, the system will be reformed, and the holidays will also take turns on weekends. Not so tired.”

Li Cheng didn’t care: “I have no place to go on holiday anyway.”

Xiao Ge stared at him: “Sleep. This day, I’m exhausted.”

Yang Chi: “Xiao Ge, you are tired all day long, are you using your right hand too much?”

Xiaoge: “Laozi kicked you!”

When the boys were playing together, a young girl walked by the table. Xiao Ge turned his head inadvertently and looked away. Song Yan looked down. The girl and Xiaoge were about the same age, petite and beautiful, and left after buying breakfast.

Song Yan looked at Xiaoge again, and saw from his eyes the most primitive love and desire of young men for women, fleeting. When Xiao Ge turned his head, there was no smile on his face, and then he looked down at the black and gray of himself, and the whole person went silent.

Song Yan was drinking soy milk, so complicated that she didn’t know what to think.

It was at this moment that he remembered his girl.

These days he is busy training and on duty, not thinking about her. But when I think of it at the moment, it is like a sharp blade, and my heart is torn open, and the cold wind swells into it.

Failed.

…

The haze is getting heavier every day, the school continues to have holidays, and the hospital is operating as usual.

These days, Xu Qin didn’t order takeaway anymore, he ate in the cafeteria at noon, and found that the food became more and more unpalatable, but when he was about to dump, he remembered Song Yan again, and he said that the food in the army was better.

Also, the soldiers need the most physical strength, not eating well.

But her job also requires physical strength, and thinking about it, she barely took a few more bites.

Unlike the outpatient clinic, there is no lunch break in the emergency department, and you have to rush back to work after lunch.

This afternoon, Xu Qin completed a surgery.

Although the difficulty of the operation is not small, the degree of completion is very high. At the end, Xu Qin discovered that Professor Xu Ken was watching in the observation room next door with a serious expression and could not distinguish between good and bad.

Seeing the end of the operation, he turned away without expression.

Xu Qin quickly packed himself up and chased out to find Professor Xu Ken.

“Professor Xu!” Xu Qin ran all the way into the stairwell, and the safety door slammed shut behind him.

Xu Ken stopped.

“I saw that you have seen the operation just now. I would like to consult you to see if you have any suggestions or advice to me? Your comments are very valuable. Thank you.”

The answer I got was: “Your technology is perfect, I don’t have much to teach you.”

Xu Qin knew Xu Ken’s character. He wouldn’t speak polite words. That’s for sure. can–

“But you still have opinions on me, do you?”

Xu Kendao: “You treat a patient like a rabbit doing an experiment.”

Xu Qin has always been aware of the differences between Professor Xu and her. She believes that this is a difference in views between people and is harmless; and she has always been unwilling to talk and communicate with people, so she has never been clear.

But now, the selection of the attending physician has reached a critical juncture, and this disagreement may affect her promotion. Although relying on the relationship of the Meng family, she has made every effort, but this time, she hopes to rely on herself like never before.

Forced to this road, there is no retreat. Simply set aside.

Xu Qin said: “Professor Xu, you and I don’t think about medicine in the same way, but you have the same path and save people. You think doctors need heart and affection, but I don’t think it’s wrong for me to solve the problem with a calm and onlooker academic attitude This is nothing more than a divergence of ideas. ”

“Medical doctors, be human first.” Xu Ken didn’t answer directly, but asked back, “Doctor Xu, when you choose medicine, do you remember the vow you made?”

Xu Qin was slightly stunned, his eyebrows frowning slightly.

“I will maintain the honor and noble tradition of the medical industry. I will give the greatest respect to human life.” Professor Xu read this oath, saying,

“You lack the most basic respect for life, you violate the oath of the doctor. The honor and tradition of medicine is not in the hands of you. It is because you are an extremely gifted surgeon that I am so sad.”

After Professor Xu finished speaking, he went downstairs and left.

Xu Qin stood at the same place, his mind was hard to understand.

Professor Xu Ken’s words seemed to give her a little shock, but the shock was so impressive that she didn’t seem to be so touched.

It felt like spider silk lingering in my heart, light and untouchable, but lingering there.

When Xu Qin pushed open the safety door and walked into the corridor, he accidentally raised his head and ushered in his inner shock.

She saw Song Yan, dressed in an olive-green military uniform and standing tall, standing by the window at the end of the corridor.

Xu Qin did not respond within a second or two. I wonder how he would appear here at this moment. This was also the first time she saw him wearing military uniforms, military caps, tight belts, and more straight shoulders, tall legs, and the whole person was brave, tall and straight like a poplar.

Song Yan originally looked aside, as if feeling something, her eyes moved over and fell on her.

She had just come off the operating table, wearing a light green surgical gown, with gray shoes on her soles and a surgical cap over her head. Looking at him at the moment, his eyes glared slightly, and his expression was still mumu.

The whole person can be described as dirty, messy and poor, and extremely untrimmed.

Xu Qin froze for a second or two. After the reaction, the first action was to quickly pull off the surgical cap on his head, and his long black hair scattered instantly.

She hurriedly grabbed her hair twice, and unconsciously prepared to walk in his direction. Before leaning forward, she had not stepped on her feet, remembering that she would never meet again, so she quickly stopped and turned in the opposite direction. Turned again and found that there was a wall behind, no way …

He had to turn back to face him again.

Song Yan’s eyes were still, watching her a series of busy movements from afar.

Xu Qin’s eyes dodged, and he walked in the direction of his head daringly, walking in a hurry, heading straight to the corner of the corridor between the two.

Seeing that it was about to turn around the corner, the safety door next to Song Yan was pushed open, and Deputy Director Liu of the Hospital Logistics Support Department came out: “Sorry, Captain Song, let you wait a long time. The people below are careless and the information is confused Look, eh? Xiao Xu? ”

Doctor Xu, who was named by the leader, calmly stopped.
