Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Chapter 274
"The first floor is roughly like this. The second floor where we are standing now has a public activity room in addition to the dean's room and public toilets. In order to allow the elderly to have a larger activity space when they cannot go outdoors on cloudy days, In addition to restaurants, music corners, book and newspaper corners and TV corners, there are also comprehensive leisure corners and dance corners in the public activity room. Apart from these three suites, there are only temporary rest rooms for some nurses on the second floor. The third to fifth floors are all single-room suites for the elderly except that there is a bathroom on each floor. Sometimes the care workers live in the same room with the elderly, and sometimes live on the second floor. Every building here has an elevator. So if there is an emergency, it will be very convenient to reinforce any building." Wang Shunan said as he led the two of them to a room with a green paint on the door on the second floor, "I will take you to the public activity room to have a look. .”

As soon as he walked into the public activity room, Dong Qiangqiang suddenly felt enlightened.

The walls are all painted in the most visually comfortable pale green, and through the tall, transparent and bright windows, you can see the green plants in the courtyard and the scenery beyond at a glance.It should be possible to see the outside environment even at night.

The simple and elegant Nordic-style wooden and white furniture looks pleasing to the eye, giving people a warm and comfortable feeling.

"Then shall we work in this room today?" Dong Qiangqiang asked.

"No, just now Barbara said that you will work here for a week. Although there are only four hours a day, she hopes that you can learn more about the situation here. So in the past few days, your daily work content should not be fixed. .”

"Then what's the content today?" Dong Qiangqiang asked impatiently, "Tell us quickly."

"For novices like you, the nursing home will not entrust you with heavy nursing work such as bathing, changing diapers and going to the toilet for the elderly. Your first day's work is mainly to get used to the working environment and content. Lord, at the same time complete some relatively light tasks, such as washing dishes, cleaning the room, tidying up the public toilets, sweeping and mopping the floor, etc.”

"This is indeed reasonable. Then let's wash the dishes first today." Dong Qiangqiang turned his head and looked at Tong Lele, and said in a low voice, "We will do it together, I will do it, and you just watch." Tong Lele didn't speak, but was just in a daze looking out the window.

"Okay, you two come with me." Wang Shunan led the two of them directly to the kitchen workshop in Building 1, and looked at several pots, plates, dishes, bowls and knives of various sizes that were as high as the hill and several pools. Forking the tableware, Dong Qiangqiang swallowed his saliva: "So much?"

Dong Qiangqiang's surprise is actually understandable. It is also possible that these "hills" add up to thousands of plates.

"It's only in the morning, you have to wash them all out before lunch." Wang Shunan smiled slightly, "Of course, don't worry too much, there is a machine called 'dishwasher' that can improve your work. Efficiency, to help you."

She walked to a row of stainless steel metal cabinets, lightly pressed the stainless steel button of one of the cabinets with her hand, and the gate of the metal cabinet slowly fell, revealing the stainless steel metal frame inside.

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's stuff it in quickly." Dong Qiangqiang rolled up his sleeves and prepared to practice.

"Although there are eight German dishwashers here, they wash quickly, save water, and can be sterilized at high temperature. But this does not mean that they have no disadvantages. For example, the number of dishes that a dishwasher can wash at one time is Limited, you need to wait for one wave to be washed before washing the next wave. And for some oil stains, because of the angle, they cannot be completely washed off at one time, so manual visual inspection is required.” Wang Shunan paused, “Also That is, in addition to machine washing, if you want to finish all the dishes by noon, you have to do a lot of hand washing."

"Manual...how many thousand washes?" Dong Qiangqiang felt his scalp go numb.

"If you have no other questions, I'll take her to the next place." After saying that, Wang Shunan glanced at Tong Lele, and she found that the girl seemed very shy.

"The next place?" Dong Qiangqiang was confused, "Didn't we brush together?"

"Of course not, these are just your workload alone." Wang Shunan said with a smile, "I used to be alone, and you are so big, it must be no problem."

Dong Qiangqiang was embarrassed by what she said: "That's not what I meant."

Wang Shunan smiled and waved: "Then I will teach you how to use the dishwasher."

The operation of German kitchen appliances is usually the kind that is easy to learn. It took only 2 minutes for Dong Qiangqiang to be familiar with the method of use.

"This is my mobile phone number. If you encounter any problems, please call me. Or you can go directly to the service desk on the first floor of Building 5 to find me." Wang Shunan speaks very fast, I don't know if he often says German habits.

Tong Lele didn't ask any questions from the beginning to the end, and silently followed Wang Shunan out of the kitchen.

Dong Qiangqiang glanced at the mountain of dishes in the pool, opened the gates of all the dishwashers, quickly counted the total number of tableware that could be loaded in each dishwasher, and then put all the tableware that could be washed into it by category.

Wang Shunan reminded him just now that in order to wash the dishes in the dishwasher as clean as possible each time, it is best not to exceed the full load limit specified by the dishwasher each time.It’s okay if there are only one or two more dishes each time, but if there are more than ten or twenty dishes each time, the cleanliness of all the washed dishes in the entire dishwasher will be compromised.

When Dong Qiangqiang filled up the eight dishwashers, the mountain of dishes seemed to be missing a peak, and three-quarters of the dishes were lying quietly in the pool.

Dong Qiangqiang put on his gloves, pressed the buttons of the eight dishwashers, and brushed them up.

Wang Shunan took Tong Lele to the tool room of the public bathroom on the first floor, pointed to the brushes, mops and buckets hanging on the wall, and said, "You can clean the bathroom in this building this morning, it's relatively easy."

The key word for relatively easy is relative. What is not easy is that there are 5 public toilets in the whole building, especially each toilet has a row of barrier-free toilets, which takes a lot of time to clean up thoroughly.

After explaining to Tong Lele about cleaning the bathroom, Wang Shunan left.

Tong Lele put on gloves, first put the "cleaning, do not use" sign outside the bathroom, and then began to clean up little by little.

Except for the sound of sweeping and mopping the floor, there is almost no sound in the bathroom.Since it is cleaned every day, there is not much smell in the bathroom.

Tong Lele slowly wiped the stainless steel barrier-free handrails with a rag, somehow reminding her of her experience when she first arrived in Germany.

She just arrived in Germany two years ago, and she didn't bring much money with her.After deducting the rent and insurance every month, there is less than 100 marks left for living expenses. Life is very tight, and occasionally when she does not have classes and cannot find a factory job, she will go to the mall to play the piano for others.

But the job of playing the piano is not stable, and it comes and goes, so she often goes to the hotel as a cleaning lady.

The work of the cleaning lady in the hotel is very tiring, especially cleaning the shower room in the bathroom. Tong Lele is often too tired to straighten up after cleaning the bathroom room.

In Tong Lele's memory, those days seemed to be gray and endless.

Now, these fragments of the past are like beads, strung together by the thread of memory.

Wiping, Tong Lele suddenly had a sore nose, and crystal tears fell quietly.
