"The first floor is roughly like this. The second floor where we are standing now, in addition to the dean's office and public toilets, also has a public activity room. In order to allow the elderly to have a larger space for activities when they cannot go outdoors on cloudy days, In addition to the restaurant, music corner, book corner and TV corner, the public activity room also has a comprehensive leisure corner, dance corner, etc. In addition to these three sets of rooms, there are only temporary rest rooms for some caregivers on the second floor. Above that In addition to a bathroom on each floor, the third to fifth floors are all single-room suites for the elderly. Sometimes the caregivers live in the same room as the elderly, sometimes on the second floor. Every building here has an elevator. So if there is an emergency, it will be very convenient for reinforcements in any building." Wang Shunan said as he led the two of them to a room on the second floor with green paint on the door, "I will take you to the public activity room. .”
As soon as he entered the public activity room, Dong Qiangqiang suddenly felt enlightened.
The walls are all painted in the most visually comfortable light green. Through the tall, transparent and bright windows, you can see the green plants in the courtyard and the scenery beyond at a glance. You should be able to see the outdoor environment even at night.
The simple and elegant Nordic style wooden white furniture looks pleasing to the eye and gives people a warm and comfortable feeling.
"Then shall we work in this room today?" Dong Qiangqiang asked.
"No, Barbara just said that you have to work here for a week. Although it is only four hours a day, she hopes that you can learn more about the situation here. So in the past few days, your daily work content should not be fixed. .”
"Then what is today's content?" Dong Qiangqiang said impatiently, "Tell us quickly."
"For novices like you, the nursing home will not entrust you with such strenuous care work as bathing, changing diapers, and going to the toilet for the elderly. Your first day's work is mainly to get used to the working environment and content. Lord, at the same time complete some relatively light tasks, such as washing dishes, cleaning the room, tidying up the public bathroom, sweeping and mopping the floor, etc.”
"This is indeed reasonable. Let's wash the dishes first today." Dong Qiangqiang turned to look at Tong Lele and whispered, "Let's do it together, I'll do it, you just watch." Tong Lele didn't say anything, just stunned. Looking out the window.
"Okay, you two come with me." Wang Shunan led the two of them directly to the kitchen workshop in Building 1, looking at several pots, dishes, bowls and knives of various sizes on several pools as high as the hills. After forking the cutlery, Dong Qiangqiang swallowed: "So many?"
Dong Qiangqiang's surprise is actually understandable. It is possible that these "hills" add up to several thousand plates.
"This is just for the morning. You have to wash them all out before lunch." Wang Shunan smiled slightly, "Of course, don't worry too much. There is a machine called a 'dishwasher' here that can improve your work." Efficiency helps you.”
She walked to a row of stainless steel metal cabinets and lightly pressed the stainless steel button of one of the cabinets with her hand. The door of the metal cabinet slowly fell down, revealing the stainless steel metal frame inside.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's stuff it in quickly." Dong Qiangqiang said as he rolled up his sleeves and got ready to start practicing.
"Although there are eight German dishwashers here, they wash quickly, save water, and can be sterilized at high temperatures. But this does not mean that they do not have shortcomings. For example, the number of dishes that a dishwasher can wash at one time is Limited, you need to wait for one batch to be washed before washing the next batch. And for some oil stains, because of the angle, it cannot be completely washed off at one time, so manual visual inspection is required." Wang Shunan paused, "Also That is, in addition to machine washing, if you want to wash all the dishes before noon, you have to do a lot of manual washing.”
"Wash thousands of times manually?" Dong Qiangqiang felt his scalp numb.
"If you have no other questions, I will take her to the next place." Wang Shunan glanced at Tong Lele after saying that. She found that the girl seemed to be very introverted.
"Next place?" Dong Qiangqiang was confused, "Shouldn't we do it together?"
"Of course not, this is just your workload alone." Wang Shunan said with a smile, "I have been alone before, and you are so big, it will definitely be no problem."
Dong Qiangqiang was embarrassed by what she said: "That's not what I meant."
Wang Shunan smiled and waved his hand: "Then I will teach you how to use the dishwasher."
The operation of German kitchen appliances is usually simple and easy to learn. It didn’t take two minutes for Dong Qiangqiang to be familiar with how to use them.
"This is my mobile phone number. If you encounter any problems, please call me. Or you can go directly to the service desk on the first floor of Building 5 to find me." Wang Shunan spoke very quickly. I don't know if he said it often. German-speaking habits.
Tong Lele didn't ask any questions from beginning to end, and followed Wang Shunan out of the kitchen in silence.
Dong Qiangqiang glanced at the mountain of dishes in the pool, opened the gates of all the dishwashers, quickly counted the total number of tableware that could be loaded in each dishwasher, and then put all the washable tableware in them by category.
Wang Shunan just reminded him that in order to wash the tableware loaded in the dishwasher as cleanly as possible, it is best not to exceed the full load limit specified by the dishwasher each time. If there are only one or two more dishes to be washed each time, it is fine, but if there are more than ten or twenty plates each time, the cleanliness of all the dishes being washed in the entire dishwasher will be compromised.
When Dong Qiangqiang filled eight dishwashers, it seemed that the plate mountain was just missing a peak, and three-quarters of the dishes were still lying quietly in the pool.
Dong Qiangqiang put on his gloves, pressed the buttons on the eight dishwashers, and started scrubbing.
Wang Shunan took Tong Lele to the tool room of the public bathroom on the first floor, pointed to the brushes and mops hanging on the wall and the bucket on the floor, and said, "You should clean the bathroom in this building this morning. This is relatively easy."
The key word for "relatively easy" is "relative", but the difficult part is that there are 5 public restrooms in the whole building, especially each bathroom has a row of barrier-free toilets, which takes a lot of time to clean thoroughly.
After explaining the request to clean the bathroom to Tong Lele, Wang Shunan left.
Tong Lele put on gloves, first placed the "Cleaning, please do not use" sign outside the bathroom, and then started to clean it up bit by bit.
There was almost no sound in the bathroom except for the sound of sweeping and mopping. Since it is cleaned every day, there is no big smell in the bathroom.
Tong Lele slowly wiped the stainless steel barrier-free handrail with a rag, and somehow her mind recalled her experience when she first arrived in Germany.
She just arrived in Germany two years ago and didn't bring much money with her. After deducting the rent and insurance every month, there was less than 100 marks left for living expenses. Her life was very tight. Occasionally, when she didn't have classes and couldn't find a factory job, she would go to the mall to play piano for others.
But the job of playing the piano was unstable and intermittent, so she often worked as a cleaning lady in hotels.
The job of a hotel cleaning lady is very tiring, especially cleaning the bathroom. Tong Lele is often so tired that she can't straighten up after wiping the bathroom.
In Tong Lele's memory, those days seemed to be always gray with no end in sight.
Now, these past fragments are like beads, quickly connected by the thread of memory.
While wiping, Tong Lele's nose suddenly felt sore, and crystal tears fell quietly.
