The second time to Ann not only engaged in medical work, but also shouldered the vegetable basket project, after coming to the office to arrange a soldier named Sim, about 1 meter 7 thin, black short curly hair, black skin, big eyes, office colleagues said: "Dr. Xue, this soldier will be managed by you later, and said that this Sim can not be left alone as long as he is assigned a job, he will do a good job."
Sim's job is to be responsible for planting vegetables, fertilizing and cleaning up the chores in the yard, and I don't believe that Sim can do the job according to my colleagues, in my opinion, he will be lazy and do not do a good job. However, through several inspections at work, I gradually found that this African boy was not lazy in his work, and he was serious, although sometimes it was a little slower, and sometimes you used your hands to draw a few strokes in addition to a few non-standard Portuguese in the middle of a few Bruce Lee-style comparisons. He understood what you were going to make him do, and he understood it very quickly. Every morning after cleaning the nest of our "bodyguard" (dog), he began to manage the vegetable garden, I remember once went out to buy cow dung I thought the price was high and did not talk about it, Sim said: wash white, wash white, (Angolan means wait a minute) He slowly walked to the fat woman selling cow dung and whispered "mayi and then I only saw his mouth and hands gently waving, and after a while, he told me that he had negotiated a good bargain of 1000 kwanzas." I gave a thumbs up and said: Sim, Big Ben! (Angolan good meaning).
Slowly I also have a new understanding of Sim, through my own beginner's rough and blunt Portuguese and Sim conversation learned that this is a high school student who has been admitted to college, but because of the death of his father, his mother has no job at home, there are many brothers and sisters in the family, there is no financial resources, I have to give up the opportunity to go to college, come out to earn money to support the family, he asked me if China is not able to go to school without money, I said that in China, if you are admitted to the university, the country provides a student loan with a discounted interest, until graduation, it will make every college student can go to college. From elementary school to junior high school, he did not have to pay tuition, he stopped for a long time after listening to it, gave a thumbs up and said: Sina, Sina (China), big pump, big pump (good), and told me that I was happy to work in such a Chinese enterprise.
Oh, yes! Through the Belt and Road initiative of our country, I came to Angola for the second time, and I have a new understanding and understanding of this country and the African people, no distance, more love, and hope to spread our culture and ideas here.
