Crossing the Western Tianshan Mountains

Cheng Yue continued, "Yes, there are actually many cultured and well-educated people among them. Of course, when men get together, they tend to be more vulgar, but think about it, if we women weren't here, they might talk even more vulgarly because there's nothing to be shy about."

Cheng Yue concluded, "This is human nature."

Pan Xiaoyue still felt that there was something wrong, but it was not easy to argue, so she just walked away depressed and did her own work. But in fact, Fang Ya took Pan Xiaoyue's words to heart.

At lunch time, Fang Ya finally caught Ling Fengxi.

The two of them each brought their food and sat at a simple table on the side of the tent to eat. At least they were eating while sitting down.

"I still feel it's a bit dangerous. The quality of these workers varies greatly, and our medical team is made up of women. I'm afraid something might happen if we continue for too long."

Ling Fengxi had actually thought about this matter. When the organization said it accepted his proposal and sent a medical team to Western Tianshan, Ling Fengxi repeatedly emphasized that it would be best if the entire medical team was composed of men.

But later, unexpectedly, a female leader Fang Ya was sent.

In order to consider the medical team's accommodation, living conditions, cooperation and other factors, an all-female medical team was finally organized with the team leader being a female.

In fact, the above considerations are also involved. Although women are weaker, they are more resilient, and most of the allocated members do not have family burdens.

Even young men usually have to bear the burden of their original families or their own small families. In such remote areas, they may not be able to go home for a year or two, which may cause the medical team's stationing to fail. Therefore, Fang Ya's female medical team was finally chosen.

However, women do face many difficulties when they arrive in such harsh conditions and environments, including the differences between men and women and how women can better protect themselves in the mountains.

When the medical team chose their second base, Ling Fengxi deliberately chose one above his and Wu Yongjie's camp, in order to better protect the girls, but after all, this protection was limited.

Ling Fengxi finished the thick noodles in his bowl in a few mouthfuls and said, "Next time you go to the workers' camp, let Ye Minglang accompany you."

He knew this solution was crude, but it was the only way for now.

Fang Ya had no choice but to nod, "I understand."

That evening, Ling Fengxi and Wu Yongjie met for a meeting. Ling Fengxi bluntly stated, "Some construction workers are still far too poorly qualified. This is a national project, and the requirements are stringent. Starting today, you must organize the staff to learn the Ten Great Spiritual Civilization Concepts. You must have one class every week."

"What?" Wu Yongjie thought something dirty had gotten into his ears and he had misheard.

Ling Fengxi continued, "It's to let them know that physical contact between men and women is forbidden, and that they shouldn't harbor bad thoughts. They should abide by the rules and work hard for the general direction of national projects, and not dwell on those vulgar thoughts all day long."

"Did Fang Ya say something? Today the medical team came to give our workers Isatis root injections, and everyone felt warm after drinking them. When I returned to the camp, they were all praising the medical team. What's going on? The medical team is so critical of our workers?"

Wu Yongjie brushed his short hair and said unconvincedly, "They just look down on us construction workers! They look down on the vast working class!"

Ling Fengxi frowned, "What are you talking about? Learn the Ten Great Spiritual Civilizations. This is my order."

“I won’t learn!”

Wu Yongjie refused outright.

"This damn place is so hard to just survive, and we have to build and dig tunnels in this environment. We're still in the early stages of preparation. Once we're in, it's a life-threatening job. You could be exhausted in a day. And then we have to come back and study those twenty major subjects you mentioned. Are you kidding me?"

"Because we are in the initial preparation stage and haven't officially entered the construction phase yet, we have to learn."

"why?"

“After learning, they will have righteousness, and they will know what is right and what is wrong.”

"I reject."

"This is an order. If you don't obey it, you can get out with your troops!"

"You! You're such a jerk, Ling Fengxi! You said that!"

Wu Yongjie turned around with disappointment on his face and returned to the workers' camp with an emotion that was about to explode. In the camp, tents were pitched on the gravel, and the roads here were really marked by footprints.

Two wooden poles were randomly inserted outside the tent, with a wire stretched in the middle, which served as a clothesline.

At this time, there were quite a few men's underwear on these clothes drying racks, especially the red waistbands were fluttering in the wind, which was very eye-catching.

There were also some workers gathered at the door playing cards. I don’t know if they were trying to look cool or for some other reason, but they were shirtless in such a cold day.

There was still a cigarette in his mouth.

But this is a scene that Wu Yongjie has become accustomed to. These workers, whether they are in the city, in the countryside, or in the mountains and swamps, basically look the same.

That means working hard and resting as much as you can without caring about your image.

What's wrong with this?

Wu Yongjie casually walked into a tent and saw seven or eight workers gathered inside drinking. There was no table, so they put the drunkard peanuts, bagged dried fried fish and braised tofu shreds directly on the ground and ate and drank happily.

When Wu Yongjie came in, they were toasting, so they didn't notice him coming in.

One of the workers said in a joking tone, "Those girls today are pretty good-looking. Once they put on those little white clothes, they are definitely uniform temptations."

Another person said, "Who says it's not true? In this deep forest, they have to bring in a bunch of beautiful women. Do you think they are specially arranged for us to spice up our lives?"

Others also said: "Don't dream, even if this arrangement really happens, it won't be your turn."

The man still insisted on his own idea, "Why can't it be my turn? I see at least 20 women here. Can those leaders take them all?"

Someone echoed, "Yes, let's forget about Fang Ya and Cheng Yue. But can't we get those other ugly ones for free?"

Wu Yongjie quietly came out of the tent, and he felt his old face was very red.

In fact, he was even familiar with some of these workers and was not unfamiliar with them. They had been working with the construction bureau for many years and he knew that they liked to talk nonsense.

But he really didn't expect it to come to this.

But he couldn't teach them a lesson directly. These workers earned money through their own strength, and the leader's role in them was only to assign them work.

There are not many people who really abide by discipline.

They are also a bunch of people who are soft-hearted and don't like to be tough.

Wu Yongjie came to Li Jianguo's tent in a depressed mood. There was no one inside. Some measuring tools that Li Jianguo needed were not there. He must have gone up the mountain again.
