Why it never ends

"What are you talking about in your sleep..."

"Really," Hesta said softly, "In some wastelands that have been infested by chelates but not completely destroyed, neither AHgAs nor the nearby coalition government can station medical personnel for a long time. This gap is usually To supplement local training, we recruit some young adults who can read and write locally and start training from scratch. The longest period is seven months. Generally, they start working directly in the third or fourth week of general training. I know some such doctors."

Cheng Xiaoshu frowned slightly, "Is this a barefoot doctor? Do you recognize him in a livable place?"

"After two years of practicing experience, the coalition government will issue a certificate. After obtaining this certificate, these training doctors can directly prepare to take the doctor's licensing examination in a livable place," Hesta replied, "If you want to work in a livable place in the future, There are only so many procedures for practicing law in the country.”

"Then...it will take three or four years in total?"

"Yes," Hesta replied, "but if you want to study medicine in a livable place, you have to pass the medical school first. You don't need to take this path. It's not just doctors, it's also vehicle maintenance, weapons maintenance, bridge engineering...generally in various districts The coalition government has a wartime training process. After recruiting local volunteers, senior practitioners will conduct high-intensity practical teaching in a short period of time. The teaching time of a day-including practice-may be fourteen hours or more. , the entire training cycle usually only lasts three to seven months.”

Hesta looked at Yugali, "It's more efficient than studying, but it does require some hardship."

Yugali didn't speak. She looked at Hesta blankly and didn't react for a long time.

This feeling is very strange, as if suddenly, there are countless more intersections and possibilities in life - car maintenance? Weapon repair? The image of himself wearing protective gloves, covered in engine oil, working in front of a huge machine suddenly appeared in Yugali's mind... This scene was both ridiculous and heart-warming.

"...Can you help contact me here?" Yugali asked softly.

"I have to ask, if you can find a suitable training plan, it should be fine." Hesta replied, "Sometimes it depends on luck and which places are recruiting people. If the location is too dangerous, then I don't recommend it. You go."

"It's amazing." Cheng Xiaoshu sighed, "Is this how you became a medic?"

"Well," Hestad said thoughtfully, "Forget it."

Everyone was silent. In the silence, the imaginary question raised by Cheng Xiaoshu suddenly became reality.

Both Yujiali and Cheng Xiaoshu couldn't help but re-examine the question of "what they most want to do" - when a good wish is far away, people can imagine its realization as much as they want, but when it is really close, it seems to jump. When you can reach it in one jump, your thoughts and fantasies suddenly become torturous, confusing, and even frightening.

"So what do you want to do?" Hesta asked again.

"That's weird," Cheng Xiaoshu murmured, "I feel like... I haven't really considered this issue before."

"...This is the question you asked."

"That's why I said it's weird."

Hesta looked to the other side again, "Eucaly?"

Yugali hugged his knees with his hands and stared at his toes without answering.

……

At around ten o'clock, Cheng Xiaoshu and Hesta came out of Yugali's apartment together.

The two ran for a long distance in the crisp and clear night wind, feeling very comfortable. As soon as the two of them arrived at the bus stop and saw the stop sign indicating that the next bus would arrive in more than twenty minutes, they immediately decided to jog back to school.

"When are you free in the past two weeks," Hesta asked, "Choose a time to accompany me to buy a cup?"

"Why did you buy the cup?"

"I'll give it to Yugali as a regular gift. I think she likes it very much——"

"Go on your own! I won't interfere!"

"Why?" Hesta asked, "I need someone to help me look at the styles!" "Anyway, don't come to me!"

"Oh!" Hesta reacted, she quickened her pace and ran in front of Cheng Xiaoshu, "Are you still concerned about her sending her salary home?"

"Correct!"

"That's her salary!" Hesta laughed, "If she wants to, you can't help but throw the money into the sea-"

"If she really throws money into the sea, I won't care! Some people just like to throw money into the water and hear the sound. That is other people's freedom!" Cheng Xiaoshu slowed down, "But how miserable she is now... I looked angry, but it seemed like she couldn’t feel it at all.”

"But why don't you want to pick a cup with me?"

Cheng Xiaoshu gradually stopped and said, "Jane, believe it or not, if her sister, brother, or any relative suddenly comes to visit another day, sees that the cup you gave her looks good, and asks her for it, she will give it to you right away. people."

"Give her a gift, it's hers anyway—"

“But what if that’s what we picked out over the course of an afternoon?”

Hesta concentrated slightly and suddenly understood what Cheng Xiaoshu was talking about.

"You understand, I won't go," Cheng Xiaoshu raised her eyebrows, "You can choose it yourself."

"...Why do you have such a big opinion?" Hesta laughed again, "She already said it, her mother——"

"Let me ask you again, suppose Yugali said today that in order to thank you, she would put all of her first month's salary on your card. Can you accept the money?"

Hesta thought for a while and then heard Cheng Xiaoshu continue.

"So do you understand? A friend of mine who just met her feels sorry for how tightly she lives her life. If her mother is as good as she says, there is no way she can take money from her!"

……

Back at home, Hesta thought about Yugali and realized that Cheng Xiaoshu's judgment was probably right.

Yugali's uncle was an elder who would recommend her to Mihailo, and her mother obviously knew about this - but when Yugali categorically told her mother how hard it was and how she was able to do it for herself, When he was happy about sending money to his family, Hesta quickly obeyed her judgment and completely forgot about all the previous feelings.

At this moment, the phone rang. Hesta opened it and found a message from Eucalyptus:

"Jane, are you free next week? I just got off the phone with my mother. She said she is coming to Orange Town next week. I have talked to her many times about you, and it just so happens that I can introduce you to her this time!"

"Okay." Hesta replied, "What is your mother doing in Orange Town?"

"She just received the money today and called me to ask about my situation. I told her about the new job, but she seemed uneasy."

"When next week?"

"The date hasn't been decided yet. It depends on when she buys the ticket. I'll let you know when I confirm the time, okay?"

"Okay, I'll wait for your news."

Putting down the phone, Hesta's mood became a little subtle.

Thinking that next week she might meet Yugali's mother, a middle-aged Hesta woman, she suddenly felt that her heart had turned into a sponge full of water.
