After morning exercises and breakfast in the cafeteria the next day, the instructor came to see Wang Jianxin.

"Wang Jianxin, pack your things and leave immediately." The instructor held a piece of paper in his hand. "This time we are going to the Shuangqiao China-Cuba Friendship People's Commune Health Center in Chaoyang District, Beijing. It will last for fifteen days."

He walked up to Wang Jianxin and said in a low voice: "There are leaders above who are optimistic about you and have specially appointed you to lead the team."

Wang Jianxin was stunned for a moment and wanted to ask who it was, but looking at the instructor's expression, he knew he shouldn't ask.He stood at attention and responded: "Yes!"

Back in the dormitory, Wang Jianxin quickly packed his luggage.He changed his military uniform into a clean one, put his toiletries into his mesh bag, and stuffed his copy of "Surgical Pathology" into his satchel.After thinking about it, I brought the silver needle bag with me again - although I may not necessarily use it, I feel at ease with it.

He arrived at the school gate and other team members had already arrived.There were seven people in total, eight with him.Liu Xiaodong, Guo Qiang, Li Jianguo, Zhang Shuqing, Song Changhe, Zhou Xiaomei, Chen Xiuying.Wang Jianxin has learned about the situation of this group of people before - they are all hygienists or military doctors, with battlefield rescue and basic medical capabilities.Among them, Zhou Xiaomei and Chen Xiuying have experience in obstetrics and gynecology nursing and delivered several children when they were in the army.

Liu Xiaodong was the first to say hello, smiling: "Captain, are we going to the countryside with a military team or a medical team?"

Guo Qiang added: "It's all the same, it's all about fighting anyway. Gun barrels and stethoscopes are both weapons."

Several people laughed.

A green truck with a canvas hood was parked at the school gate.Everyone loaded their luggage and equipment into the car.There is a lot of equipment - surgical instruments, anesthesia equipment, antibiotics (penicillin, streptomycin, a small amount), sulfa drugs, analgesics, hemostatic drugs, and commonly used Chinese herbal medicines.There are also sterilizers, dressing kits, suture materials, and stretchers.Box after box, half a truckload full.

Wang Jianxin looked at these devices and thought: The superiors attach great importance to them, but they don’t know why.Does a commune health center need anesthesia equipment and surgical instruments?But he didn't ask. The duty of a soldier is to execute orders, not to ask why.

Eight people were crammed into the bed of the truck, sitting side by side.The canvas tent was rustling in the wind, and the fields outside could be seen through the gaps.In the suburbs of Beijing in September, the crops are almost ripe, the cornfields are golden, and the ears of sorghum are bright red.

At noon, the truck arrived at Shuangqiao Commune.

The commune is not big, with a dirt road running from east to west, with a supply and marketing cooperative, a post office, a grain station, and the commune compound on both sides.The health center is to the east of the commune compound, a row of one-story houses with gray bricks and gray tiles. The steps in front of the door are polished and shiny, and the windows are covered with newspapers. In some places, the newspapers are broken, exposing the glass inside.

The car stopped, and a man in his early fifties with gray hair came up to him, wearing a blue tunic suit with a tightly buttoned collar.He came over and shook hands with Wang Jianxin: "Welcome, welcome, I am Zhao Deming, the director of the health center."

Wang Jianxin saluted: "Hello, Dean Zhao, I am Wang Jianxin, the team leader. I'm sorry to bother you this time."

Dean Zhao spoke slowly, but there was a shrewd light hidden in the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.He led everyone into the courtyard and introduced as he walked: "The conditions of the health center are limited, please bear with me. The dormitory is arranged in the backyard. There are a few empty rooms that have been packed up and you can live there."
