The results of the first medical team outing for inspection were actually not good.
Except for Little Boomer's grandfather, no one came over to let the medical team see him.
This is a situation that is both reasonable and unexpected.
It is reasonable to say that, because trust is like gathering sand to form a tower, it must be accumulated.
There have been various wars and chaos in Country L for more than sixty years since its independence. Troops from different countries have come and gone here, leaving behind all the pain. The people simply don’t expect these foreigners to do anything for them, so of course they trust them.
There is no way to talk about it.
In the final analysis, it's just numbness.
This is a sad thing.
The security of our own land needs to be maintained by other countries. Thinking about it will make you cry.
I say this is unexpected because in my previous impression, country L is a country with extremely backward medical conditions and resources. Only about two-thirds of the country's population has clean water.
Coupled with years of war, the average life expectancy of its citizens is only 45 years, making it a "short-lived country" in the world.
People here have long been ravaged by a variety of diseases and health-related problems, including measles, malaria, AIDS, and more.
It should be said that the medical team provides free medical services, and they should flock to it.
Unexpectedly, the medical team’s first inspection visit was so hot and cold.
Fortunately, little Boomer and his grandfather took the first step of trust, which made the medical captain, Colonel Li Li, very happy.
There is often a layer of ice between trust and distrust. As long as the ice is broken, each other can extend a hand of friendship.
For Little Boomer, it was almost like a dream.
Life in the Second Hospital was like paradise to him. Here, his grandfather could receive the most formal treatment - something he had never dared to imagine.
And then there's eating.
Eating is too simple for today's Chinese people. Basically, the problem faced by most Chinese people is "what is good to eat", but for children from country L like Bulma, they have no right to be picky.
They are faced with the problem of "what to eat".
The income of the people here is only 16 yuan per day, equivalent to RMB, and the domestically produced food is insufficient, so it is good to have enough to eat, not to mention having to choose what to eat and what not to eat.
There is a dedicated person in charge of the food in the Second Hospital. The food is not luxurious, but it is full of meat and vegetables. After two days, Bulma looks much better.
Grandpa Haji's leg injury has stopped worsening. With the help of simple debridement surgery and antibiotics, the redness and swelling have begun to subside.
Because these two people are special, they are the key to breaking the ice of trust between the medical team and the local people, so the medical team also takes great care of them.
Two days later, the team had a mission to escort two doctors from the Second Hospital to another hospital to participate in an operation. When they came back, Li Zheng made a special trip to visit them.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Bulma sitting in front of Grandpa Haji's hospital bed, holding a book in his hand and reading there.
Li Zheng found it quite strange.
Bulma stopped reading a long time ago, and he hasn't been studying for a long time, but he can still read?
"Bulma."
Li Zheng called Xiao Heiwa's name when he reached behind him.
Bulma turned around, saw Li Zheng, put down the book and stood up.
"plum!"
In his eyes, Li Zhengren is very good and takes care of him like an elder brother.
"How did you come?"
While talking, the little black baby Bulma's eyes fell on Li Zheng.
Li Zheng was wearing a body armor, a gun, and a helmet on his head. He was in combat mode.
Bulma felt that Li Zheng had an indescribable temperament that was different from the soldiers he had seen before.
Boomer used to be scared when he saw soldiers from other countries, especially the guns they carried.
But I don't know why, but I felt a sense of security when I saw Li Zheng carrying a live ammunition.
Li Zheng took off his helmet, wiped his sweat, took out a bag from his bag and handed it over.
"Given to you."
Bulma took it carefully and opened it.
Inside is a pair of sandals that are very common in the area and the quality is good.
"It's sandals!"
Bulma's eyes were shining.
In fact, Li Zheng asked Hamfatah to buy these sandals on his behalf after much consideration.
He didn't dare to give away the shoes that were too good, for fear that Bulma would be robbed. The sandals were inconspicuous, and they were very suitable for a country like L, which has no winter all year round but only rainy and dry seasons.
But for a poor kid like Bulma, sandals are already a very luxurious item!
Li Zheng originally thought that Bulma would be overjoyed when he got the sandals, but he didn't expect that Bulma looked at the sandals in his hand, and suddenly big tears began to fall from his eyes.
"What's wrong with you?"
Li Zheng was very strange.
Is it not customary here to give shoes as a gift? Is it taboo for you?
"well……"
Grandpa on the bed suddenly sighed.
Li Zheng raised his head, smiled at the old man, and nodded as a greeting.
Haji did not understand French and could only speak the local language. Li Zheng did not understand either, so the two could only communicate with each other through their eyes.
He stretched out his hand, put it on Bulma's shoulder, and asked softly: "Do you not like the shoes I gave you?"
Bulma shook his head vigorously. As soon as he shook his head, tears flew everywhere, and he quickly wiped them away with his hands.
"Why is that?" Li Zheng asked.
Bulma still shook his head.
Li Zheng guessed that the shoes might have touched something sad for him, which is why he was like this, but he didn't intend to ask further.
Everyone will have scars in their growth process. There is no need to uncover them, and it is not something worth getting to the bottom of.
If you like it, that's no problem.
Li Zheng said: "Since you like it, let's put it on and see if it fits. I'll guess the size. If it doesn't fit, I'll have someone change it."
Bulma sat on the pony and changed into sandals.
The shoes really don't fit my feet and are too big.
Li Zheng said: "I'll take it and exchange it."
Bulma immediately shook his head: "No, it's good like this. My feet will grow bigger."
In fact, this was a very smooth sentence, but when Li Zheng heard it, he felt something different in his heart.
grow up……
Yes, he is only nine years old.
He will still grow up...
Li Zheng's eyes fell on the book just now. He reached out from the edge of the bed and took it out. He saw that it was a magazine.
They are the kind of magazines that are inserted behind the seats for passengers to read on airplanes. They tend to have a lot of advertisements, and some of them are financial magazines.
Li Zheng flipped through the pages of the book and found that he had made notes with a ballpoint pen on many places and marked them with French pronunciation.
Li Zheng asked Bulma: "Did you mark it?"
Bulma nodded: "Yeah."
Li Zheng suddenly understood that this guy probably learned his French sentence by sentence like this.
He remembered something and asked Bulma: "Actually, do you like to study?"
Bulma nodded reflexively, then shook his head.
Li Zheng was a little confused: "Do you like it or not?"
Bulma thought for a while, and finally said, "I don't have time."
Li Zheng was stunned. After he was stunned, he asked again: "Just tell me whether you like it or not."
Bulma thought again and nodded: "I like it..."
Li Zheng said: "I understand."
He stood up and patted Bulma on the shoulder again: "Read well and take good care of your grandpa. I will come back to you."
