"Hang Chi...Hang Chi..."
The old green train was moving slowly, and the scenery outside the window kept passing backwards!
But none of this bothered Zhou Yang. It had been more than three hours since he got in the car.
Apart from drinking some water and eating something in the meantime, he had been translating the manuscript.
Suddenly, Zhou Yang felt a little anxious, so he put down the pen in his hand and walked towards the toilet behind the train carriage.
The toilet in the old train was as dirty and messy as ever, and there was a pungent smell as soon as you entered.
Fortunately, Zhou Yang has become accustomed to the dry toilets in rural areas in the past few years, otherwise he might not even be able to get in through this door!
Zhou Yang simply relieved his hands and washed his face, and then he was ready to return to his seat.
Just when I turned around, I saw an extra man sitting on my seat.
The man was in his forties and was wearing a common cadre uniform, but it was a little dirty. He looked tired and his eyes were bloodshot.
At this time, he was looking through the chemistry textbook Zhou Yang put on the table!
Seeing Zhou Yang coming over, the man said a little embarrassedly: "Are these manuscripts yours?"
"It's mine, are you?"
"I'm sorry, I just saw a book when I was passing by and couldn't help but take a second look. Please forgive me!"
"Can you understand?" Zhou Yang asked in surprise.
“Most of it can be understood, but it doesn’t work when it comes to some professional terminology!”
Then the man looked at Zhou Yang and said, "Comrade, are you a translator?"
"That's right! I think you don't look like an ordinary person. Are you..."
Before Zhou Yang could finish speaking, the man smiled sheepishly and said, "Look at me, after asking you so many questions, I forgot to introduce myself! Hello, my name is Duan Yinzhong, and I am a teacher at Kyoto Medical College! "
"Kingto Medical College, teacher? Then what are you doing with your career?" Zhou Yang asked in surprise.
"To be honest, there are reports of plague in the Northern Mongolia Banner, and Ning City is helpless about it. I was invited by them to assist in epidemic prevention and control!" Duan Yinzhong said.
Zhou Yang's heart skipped a beat when he heard the word plague.
Whether they are farmers, herdsmen, or other professionals in Saibei Province, they are no strangers to infectious diseases such as plague.
Although this disease has been almost solved in most places across the country, because Saibei Province is located in the grassland, there are a large number of Mongolian marmots, Daur's squirrels, long-clawed gerbils, and Bush's voles, which are easy to carry. plague animals.
Therefore, this is also one of the historical natural foci of plague, and it will come here every few years.
"So how is the situation now? Is it under control?" Zhou Yang asked hurriedly.
"Basically it's under control, but..."
"but what?"
Duan Yinzhong sighed and said: "Although this epidemic is temporarily under control, when I was conducting plague treatment and prevention and control in the epidemic area, I found that the people in the Northern Mongolia Banner often caught wild animals such as marmots, chinchillas, and hares. Eating meat, in this case, is simply treating the symptoms but not the root cause, and we don’t know when the plague will break out again!”
Zhou Yang nodded, expressing that he understood Duan Yinzhong's concerns.
It is indeed not easy to prevent and control infectious diseases like plague. The first thing to do is prevention, and the key to prevention is to reduce or even avoid contact with wild animals that carry the plague bacteria.
But this is very difficult for those people in epidemic areas.
After all, they live deep in the grasslands. Hunting and preying on these small animals is part of their lives. How can they change it easily?
Thinking of this, Zhou Yang immediately said: "It is useless to worry about this kind of thing. Changes must be made from the government level, such as promulgating some relevant policies and laws..."
Then, Zhou Yang exchanged some methods and experiences in preventing and treating infectious diseases with Duan Yinzhong in later generations.
Although it was said to be a communication, Zhou Yang was basically speaking and Duan Yinzhong was listening throughout the whole process.
After hearing the key points, he even took out the notebook he carried with him and started taking notes!
In the next two hours, Zhou Yang's plan to translate the textbook was completely ruined!
........
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the train arrived at Ningshi Railway Station smoothly, more than half an hour earlier than expected!
After declining Duan Yinzhong's request to treat their family to dinner, Zhou Yang took Li Youwei and Baoer, who had just woken up, out of the train station.
Originally, according to the plan, Zhou Yang had to go to Xinhua Bookstore first, hand over the manuscript to Lao Xu, and then go home.
But since the second textbook had not yet been translated, Zhou Yang gave up the idea.
You have to pay for postage anyway, it doesn’t matter if it’s more or less!
So after leaving the train station, Zhou Yang took Li Youwei and Baoer to the bus station not far away!
Like most stations in this era, Ning City's train station and bus station are closely adjacent to each other, with only a narrow road in between.
Knowing that the bus left at two o'clock, Zhou Yang did not enter the station immediately. Instead, he took his mother and daughter to a state-owned hotel next to the station.
Seeing that Zhou Yang took her to a state-owned hotel again, and it was a hotel in the city, Li Youwei was somewhat nervous.
She had a deep memory of the last time she went out to a restaurant in the county town.
A meal costs several yuan, and the work points she earns in a month in the fields are not even worth that much money, which makes her feel distressed.
"We'd better not go in, just deal with him and go home!" Li Youwei looked at Zhou Yang and said.
"Can't bear to leave?" Zhou Yang said with a smile.
"Well, I spent a lot of money coming out this time!" Li Youwei said in a low voice.
This time they went to Huaxian County and spent nearly 300 yuan on several purchases.
When I left, I left another two hundred yuan for my parents-in-law. There was not much left of the six to seven hundred yuan I brought out.
Zhou Yang smiled and said, "Just spend it, I'll make more money after you spend it!"
Then Zhou Yang said again: "I see that you and Bao'er didn't eat anything in the morning. If you can make do with it at noon, that will work!"
"It's okay. Mom cooked eggs for us and brought us snacks..."
Zhou Yang shook his head and said: "Those things cannot be eaten as a meal. It doesn't matter that you are an adult, but Bao'er is still a child. It's not good to eat too much of those things!"
Seeing Zhou Yang talking about Bao'er, Li Youwei knew that she couldn't defeat her man today, so she immediately sighed and said, "Then don't order too expensive dishes later!"
"OK!"
Later, Zhou Yang held Bao'er in one hand and carried his luggage in the other, and took Li Youwei into the state-owned hotel.
Since it was lunch time, there were many people in the restaurant.
Although they are both state-owned hotels, they are still very different.
Compared with the state-owned hotels in Yunshan County, first of all, the hotels in the city are not only larger in size, but also more sophisticated.
The reason is also simple, because many of the state-owned hotels in the city are not hotels funded by the state, or provincial or municipal commercial departments, but are formed by time-honored public-private partnerships.
Whether it is the dishes or the business style, it has inherited some traditional features from the past, which are not available in ordinary state-owned restaurants.
Since Li Youwei had already spoken, Zhou Yang did not order anything hard, but simply ordered two bowls of noodles!
Although they were just simply making noodles, Li Youwei and Baoer were still very satisfied!
These days, it is indeed a great happiness to have a bowl of fragrant noodle soup from a state-owned restaurant.
Unfortunately, with the development of the times, it is becoming more and more difficult for people to achieve happiness!
Even if you go to a luxury hotel for a big meal, it’s hard to get back that feeling of happiness!
After eating, Zhou Yang took his wife and daughter straight to the bus station and boarded a bus bound for Yunshan County.
