The next morning, medical and living supplies were loaded into small light trucks that were already waiting at the entrance of the military base.

After being delivered to the aid station, the accompanying soldiers helped unload the goods and then left.

Xia Qiuran stepped into the tent and slipped as soon as she took a step forward. She almost fell. Only then did she realize that the ground under her feet was just ordinary yellow mud, which had been worn down by people coming and going. The water leaking from above was mixed with mud, and she could easily slip and fall if she wasn't careful.

"Doctor, be careful."

At that moment, Xia Qiuran suddenly felt a pair of timid eyes looking at her, and the voice was also cautious.

Turning around, I saw that it was the two little brothers from that day.

"You two are here too. How's your mother? Is she feeling better?" Xia Qiuran asked with a smile.

"My mom is over there. My little brother and dad are gone. My mom cries every day," the older brother said, pointing to a spot not far away.

Xia Qiuran looked up and saw a woman with lifeless eyes, looking completely listless, sitting on a straw bed.

The family is gone, the children are gone, the loved one is gone. Suffering so much all at once must be extremely painful.

In the face of natural disasters, humans are always so insignificant.

"You can just call me Sister Xia from now on. Go play first, and I'll go see your mother when I'm done with my work," Xia Qiuran said, patting the two children on the shoulder.

After greeting the two young brothers, a group of people followed behind. The uncle at the head of the group smiled politely and said...

"Oh, the doctor is here. I'm the team leader here. My name is Yang Cai. Dean Gao told us before that after we were discharged, the higher-ups would send a doctor to take care of us. If you need anything, just tell us, and we'll be happy to help."

"Captain Yang, you're right. We are the doctors sent by our superiors to take care of you. You can call me Dr. Xia from now on, and that's Dr. Bai."

After Xia Qiuran greeted everyone briefly, she glanced at the raindrops dripping incessantly above the doorway, then turned to Bai Yunyun and began to persuade her.

"Dr. Bai, it's too damp in here. Let's move all the medical supplies inside for storage."

Bai Yunyun only glanced at it dismissively. "What are you thinking? I'm a doctor, not a porter. If you want to do this kind of work, go do it yourself."

She then reluctantly went into the tent. She had sent a telegram home after leaving the infirmary yesterday, and she believed that she would leave this awful place soon. Now, all she had to do was to go through the motions of all her work.

Xia Qiuran seemed to have anticipated Bai Yunyun's response. She put down the medicine box she had just picked up and walked over to her, her tone calm and devoid of any personal emotion.

"Dr. Bai, no one here will divide things so clearly with you. You are the assistant, and I'm assigning you your first task: store all the medicines in the safe area, and take inventory and register them. You have one hour to complete the check, and I will come back to check."

"Stop trying to intimidate me. Didn't those people say we can ask them for work?" Bai Yunyun crossed her arms, her arrogant demeanor completely disregarding Xia Qiuran.

"The medicines are complicated and can't be left lying around. There are also some things that can't be squeezed. They don't understand this, and if they try to move them, it might cause damage. So this job has to be done by you." Xia Qiuran wasn't angry; she just calmly explained again.

"Why should I be the one to do it? The regimental commander just said a few words to you casually, and you're really taking it as an order. Let me tell you, officially I'm an officer, and you're just a common soldier; personally, I'm a city person, and you're just a country bumpkin. A peasant like you, how dare you order me around!"

Bai Yunyun stared intently at Xia Qiuran, her words blunt and sharp, showing no mercy whatsoever, instantly freezing the atmosphere in the tent to its peak.

After criticizing Xia Qiuran, Bai Yunyun's eyes clearly showed smugness. She thought to herself: Xia Qiuran is just a country bumpkin after all. As long as she dares to speak up and dares to break the ice, Xia Qiuran will feel that she can't control the situation and will naturally not dare to care about her anymore. In the end, she will have the final say.

When that time comes, he will surely let everyone know who the real leader is, and that Xia Qiuran is not even worthy to carry her shoes.

Xia Qiuran blinked, her face showing no sign of anger or loss of composure; she remained calm and composed throughout.

He slowly reached into his bag and took out a piece of paper with bold, flowing handwriting.

"Temporary reassignment appointment letter: Xia Qiuran is the main person in charge and the chief physician, and Bai Yunyun is the assistant, whose main responsibility is to assist Dr. Xia Qiuran in all her work."

Xia Qiuran read a few sentences briefly and then stared intently at Bai Yunyun.

"Dr. Bai, if you don't want to do this, you can go back to the army immediately, or I can notify the regimental commander to send a car to pick you up. But if you stay, you must obey my orders."

Her words were steady and authoritative, each one like a heavy hammer blow to Bai Yunyun's heart. The oppressive feeling emanating from her very bones rendered her speechless instantly.

Bai Yunyun's sarcasm, arrogance, and smugness vanished instantly. She closed her mouth, ultimately not daring to utter the next sentence.

"Dr. Bai, please remember one thing: whether I can direct you or not is not determined by your background, but by your job responsibilities. Time is limited, so don't delay other patients' visits. Hurry up and move it."

Xia Qiuran gave Bai Yunyun a cold look, and that condescending attitude made the usually arrogant Bai Yunyun subconsciously feel guilty.

Xia Qiuran originally thought that as long as Bai Yunyun didn't cause trouble, she would turn a blind eye, do more work herself, and the matter would be over.

But now it seems that we absolutely cannot be lenient with Bai Yunyun.

In front of someone like Bai Yunyun, if you are weak, she will be strong. You must instill fear in her in order to manage her.

Although her family has some connections, they are not omnipotent. Moreover, it is said that her family went to great lengths to arrange this job for her. If she really loses her military status and cadre position because of this, it will be very difficult to get it back.

Bai Yunyun's last shred of reason allowed her to temporarily suppress her anger, and although she was reluctant, she quickly picked up the medicine box.

Among the medicines were a lot of saline solutions, all in glass bottles. After moving them all, Bai Yunyun was so exhausted that she sat down on the medicine box, panting heavily, and couldn't even straighten her back.

Xia Qiuran stepped forward and took a quick look. The items were placed fairly neatly, and the notes were quite clear.

Isn't this a great job? It seems that being tougher is effective.

"Dr. Bai, could you go and clean the wound on that old man's leg?" Xia Qiuran continued.

Bai Yunyun looked up and saw an old man, about 60 years old, sitting not far away. The wound on his leg was already oozing pus. She only glanced at him before covering her mouth and turning away, suppressing her nausea.

"It stinks, why don't you go?"

"There are medical masks in the supplies. I need to go see the woman over there who's still in her postpartum period and is bleeding heavily from her lower body. Do you want to trade with me?"
