Crossing the Western Tianshan Mountains

"Ling Fengxi never talks nonsense with women." Fang Ya's face showed a little disappointment when she said this. If he was willing to talk nonsense with her, she would be happy instead.

Wu Yongjie concluded, "You are double-standard and biased!"

"I'm biased. What's the matter? Are you not convinced?" Fang Ya said and walked out of the tent.

Wu Yongjie looked at the food in front of him and said, "At least I have food delivered to me!" He immediately became happy and ate with big mouthfuls.

No matter how much they quarreled, the problem still had to be solved. Ling Fengxi returned to his "office" and sat there silently for a long time. Then he reported his work to his superiors. In the report, he mentioned the possibility of extending the construction period and expanding the project. In other words, in order to build this tunnel, he had to first build a section of road with good quality.

The superiors had actually heard Ling Fengxi's report earlier, and now they finally delivered the good news. "The Zhongtianshan Tunnel is a key project for the G219 Zhaosu to Wensu Highway Project. Building a road is essential, but it's different from the road used to transport machinery up the mountain. However, it's also a necessary project, so after careful consideration, they've agreed to allocate project funds. To complement the Wensu Highway Project, the highway project personnel will take over and quickly build the surrounding supporting roads for the West Tianshan Tunnel Project."

Things sound more complicated, but Ling Fengxi's burden has been lightened a lot. However, this requires attention to the time difference between the two engineering teams.

Because the engineering team here cannot wait until the highway project workers have repaired the road before proceeding to the next step.

The superior said, "Don't worry, we are all professional engineering teams. You just need to discuss the time coordination with each other."

But in fact, it is not that simple.

In this way, there is actually no need to work 24 hours a day. After all, all the people and equipment in Wu Yongjie's engineering team are prepared to dig a tunnel. This section of the highway project is an accident.

When Fang Ya entered the tent, Ling Fengxi had just finished a phone call. Fang Ya looked depressed and sat across from him, muttering, "What a jerk this Wu Yongjie is! A man with a family, yet he speaks to a woman with no respect at all. There's something wrong with his character!"

"Old Wu has already left..."

Just after saying these words, Ling Fengxi suddenly thought of something and said with a wry smile, "Old Wu does have some bad habits, but he's a very good person, there's nothing wrong with that. He's just too concerned about his reputation and can't say some things clearly. What happened today was my impulsiveness due to my eagerness to make progress. It's my fault."

Fang Ya's expression softened a bit, but she added, "You don't have to speak for him or make excuses for him. How will the other workers react if he smashes a bowl against you, a high-ranking leader, in public?"

"It doesn't matter. Although I'm the leader, the project still depends on him. The protagonists of the project are also these workers, not us so-called leadership team."

"You just like to flatter others." Fang Ya was still in a bad mood, but she said helplessly, "Anyway, Wu Yongjie's character is really bad. For a woman, a man who is unfaithful to his family has bad character."

After saying this, Fang Ya left the tent in anger.

She didn't hear what Ling Fengxi said behind her, "He's been single for several years and has no family."

Early in the morning, Ye Minglang suddenly sighed, "Kashgar's winter is short, and the real cold comes in spring."

Li Jianguo, who happened to be out for a walk, heard this and said, "Yeah, this spring cold is really freezing. I almost passed out last night. Luckily the medical team came in and took care of me."

Then he asked Ye Minglang, "Where is Kashgar? The proverb you mentioned is quite unique."

Ye Minglang answered seriously, "Kashgar is the central city of the Kashgar region. It borders Tajikistan to the west and Afghanistan and Pakistan to the southwest. It's a very special region. As for proverbs, have you noticed that the proverbs of our great Xinjiang are very interesting? They are very special."

Li Jianguo just wanted to make a small talk, but he didn't expect Ye Minglang, who was usually quiet, to explain so carefully. He suddenly thought of something, "I heard that you like that Gulinar?"

Ye Minglang blushed, "No, don't talk nonsense... I'm only nineteen years old..."

Li Jianguo is also a workaholic, but he is young after all, so he couldn't help but laugh at this time, "Ye Minglang, you are in love. Age is not a problem."

Ye Minglang: ...

Ling Fengxi finally apologized to Wu Yongjie. The two of them stood in the middle of the camp, still holding their vegetable dishes. The long line of people waiting to get their food stared at them. Ling Fengxi said, "I was impulsive yesterday. I apologize. My suggestion was also wrong. You don't have to accept it."

Wu Yongjie was still angry, but when he saw Fang Ya staring at them not far away, he suddenly put on a bright smile. "Hey, what's the relationship between us brothers? It's just like brothers at home. When something happens, we fight and quarrel to achieve results. We are all working towards the same goal. As long as the goal is right, we are all right."

The two of them talked, then went into the tent arm in arm to eat.

Fang Ya found it a little funny looking at the two of them.

Cheng Yue didn't come to dinner, so Fang Ya personally brought a portion to the makeshift "patient room." Cheng Yue's face was haggard. "Doctor Fang, what's wrong with Lin Jinghui? He has a high fever that keeps coming back. Does he need to be sent to the county for a checkup?"

Fang Ya was also a little worried, but based on her experience, Lin Jinghui did have a high fever caused by a cold or pneumonia, and he could only control it by taking medicine when he went to the county.

Although it is a little more serious than the average cold, it is not too severe.

However, since Cheng Yue had made such a suggestion, she had to think about it carefully, lest some hidden illnesses were not found out and delayed the treatment. As the two were talking, Lin Jinghui had already opened his eyes and said, "I have been like this since I was a child when I caught a cold. I like to have a fever, but I am actually fine. I won't go to the county."

Cheng Yue glared at him. "Why are you so stubborn? Do you know how dangerous last night was? You had a high fever the whole time. If I hadn't kept twisting the towel handle to cool you down, you might have died by now."

Lin Jinghui turned his head away and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Nurse Cheng, but I really won't go to the county, and I feel much better now."

"You, what's with your attitude?"

Cheng Yue was almost crying with anger.

Fang Ya brought a drip and put it on Lin Jinghui. "If the fever doesn't go down after this, send him to the county."

Lin Jinghui wanted to say something, but Fang Ya said coldly, "This is not the place for you to show off. Whether you want to go to the county is up to us doctors and nurses. Otherwise, if you die here, we will be responsible."

Lin Jinghui's indifferent attitude was immediately suppressed, and he said awkwardly, "Okay."
