Chapter 306: Reporting Safety

When I got home, Lin Zihuai was sitting on a stone bench in the yard, holding a few pages of paper, shaking his head slightly, humming a song, and looking very serious.

Hearing the door open, he looked up and said, "Sister, you're finally back. I've been waiting for you for a long time. Come on, help me find the ending tune of this song. The art troupe is waiting to use it!"

Lin Anan walked over with a smile and took the pages of paper. She saw that they were densely covered with lyrics. The song was called "Dawn Ahead".

She hummed softly, and Lin Zihuai listened attentively, nodding along with the rhythm from time to time.

"Sister, I always feel that the melody of these lines is not passionate enough. It cannot fully show the energy of breaking through the darkness and welcoming the dawn. And the last few lines... please give me some advice!" Lin Zihuai said, pointing to one of the lyrics.

"Lu Qing asked you to come to me to revise it?" Lin Anan asked casually.

Lin Zihuai has learned his lesson now. "Well, the instructor said that if this song is successful, he will give me a composing bonus. And the leaders of the group all think highly of this song. They said I did a very good job, except that the tune at the end is a little off."

Chu Mingzhou's greeting did work and he knew to pay.

Lin Anan smiled slightly, looked at it carefully, then closed her eyes slightly. The scene of soldiers marching bravely and people looking forward to hope emerged in her mind. Inspiration flashed through her mind, and she hummed a new tune softly.

Lin Zihuai's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands excitedly: "Sister, that's great! You brought out all the feelings at once, why didn't I think of it."

Lin's mother also came over and asked, "Zihuai, is this song for the art troupe to perform?"

"Yes, this charity performance is very important. It is related to post-disaster reconstruction! We have to put on the best show. My song "The Dawn Ahead" will definitely be included, so we can't be careless."

Mother Lin smiled so much that her eyes curved, and she kept saying it was a good thing, a very good thing.

"Of course not. We all hope that this charity performance can help raise funds and encourage the villagers affected by the disaster, so that everyone can rekindle their hope for life."

Lin Anan didn't say much to him. She took out her pen, turned to the table and started to revise it. "Since you have accepted such an important task, you must go all out. If there are any adjustments that need to be made later, please let me know at any time."

"Sister, don't worry. With your help, I feel more at ease."

Lin Zihuai carefully put away the pages of paper and turned to leave.

"No, the sun is about to set. Why are you going back? Are you coming back for dinner?" asked Lin's mother.

Lin Zihuai waved his hand casually, "I'll be back after I hand in the music. By the way, Mom, Du Juan will come back with me later."

Mother Lin paused, looked at Lin Anan, and said, "Okay, then go slowly."

Lin's mother had to tidy up the yard and prepare food, so she urged Lin Anan to go and have a rest.

Lin Anan couldn't sleep either, so she took advantage of the time to organize the manuscript.

I plan to submit the manuscript of my new book next week, and I also have to settle the royalties. After all, my wallet is not full and I feel unsure.

Outside the window, the breeze gently blew the branches, causing light and shadows to sway on the ground.

As Lin Anan wrote, her attention was not fully focused. She only glanced out the window and her thoughts drifted away.

I don't know how Chu Mingzhou is doing...

Henan Province, He City.

Chu Mingzhou and the third Northwest rescue team have arrived at the Heshi Military District’s base.

As they got closer, they smelled a strong herbal scent.

"Colonel Chu!" Major Zhao and his group hurried out to greet him.

They all looked much more haggard, but when they saw Chu Mingzhou coming with a large army, their eyes were filled with joy again.

Chu Mingzhou just nodded lightly and told Instructor Qin to start the handover and arrangements.

"Thanks to the Northwest Military Region General Hospital for providing the prescription, it is very effective! Thirty-five counties and cities around He City have arranged defense points, and new defense plans have also been issued..."

Major Zhao reported everything in great detail.

Chu Mingzhou followed everyone to the temporary meeting room.

"Wait a minute."

At this time, a female military doctor with double braids came over with a few cups. "You are all new comrades, right? Please drink the Chinese medicine to prevent infectious diseases first. Thank you for your cooperation."

Chu Mingzhou looked at the Chinese medicine handed over by the female military doctor, took the cup and drank it all without any hesitation.

The other team members followed suit. Although Chinese medicine tasted bitter, they knew it was a necessary measure to prevent infectious diseases.

The female military doctor smiled sweetly at Chu Mingzhou and said, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone. If you feel uncomfortable, feel free to tell me." After that, she turned and left.

Major Zhao continued to report the situation to Chu Mingzhou: "Colonel Chu, the biggest problem at the moment is the shortage of supplies, especially medicines and food. Although a lot of relief supplies have been shipped in, it is still far from enough. Moreover, due to the impact of the flood, transportation is inconvenient, and the transportation of supplies has also become a big problem."

Chu Mingzhou frowned. He knew very well how much impact the shortage of supplies would have on the rescue work, and he had to find a way to solve this problem as soon as possible.

"Major Zhao, please compile a list of urgently needed supplies. I will report to my superiors as soon as possible and try to allocate more supplies.

The fundraising we initiated in the northwest is going smoothly, and the materials donated by the people are already on the way. Our most important thing now is to open up transportation routes to ensure the smooth transportation of materials. "

"Yes, Colonel Chu!" Major Zhao immediately saluted in response.

Entering the temporary meeting room, Chu Mingzhou looked at the map on the wall and learned in detail the currently verified situation around He City.

He found that the disaster-stricken people in some remote areas had not received timely rescue, and personnel must be arranged to go to the rescue as soon as possible.

"Captain Ke, our people must cooperate with the soldiers stationed in Heshi and proceed in five groups. You will personally lead a team to several villages west of Heshi, where the disaster-stricken people are concentrated and transportation is inconvenient, and rescue is urgently needed..."

Chu Mingzhou did not rest for a moment and discussed the next course of action with the people stationed at the Heshi Military Region.

Now that the water level has almost receded, post-disaster reconstruction is extremely difficult.

Clearing road obstacles, repairing damaged bridges, road repairs, etc. Which one is easier?

I'm so devoted to this that I don't even have enough time to sleep, let alone keep in touch with my family.

Every time I called the troops, I would ask them to give Lin Anan a message to let them know they were safe.

Lin Anan also knew the seriousness of the matter. Knowing that he had arrived safely, she did not ask any more questions. She just hoped that he could solve the problem and come back soon.

The two of them could never have imagined that Chu Mingzhou would be gone for two whole months!

Not to mention reconstruction, even the post-disaster rescue work trapped him tightly, and he was the one who led the team to complete the most difficult and painful operations.

After a series of busy work, I have accumulated some achievements, but it is more tiring than fighting a war.

But that’s all in the past.
