Chapter 537 Don’t bother pooh-poohing me

The rain was getting heavier and the wind was getting weaker, but it still blocked the view.

Today's disaster relief conditions are not as good as those in later generations. Not to mention professional rescue equipment, there are not even excavators.

If you want to save people, you have to dig one shovel at a time.

The rain is too heavy and the mountain may continue to slide, so some people have to be assigned to prevent mudslides from happening again.

There is a serious shortage of staff.

Fortunately, relevant government departments, medical workers and related disaster relief personnel who received the news arrived one after another.

Yi Chichi and his group of pioneers, who had been busy and dizzy, finally had a chance to catch their breath.

Ji Jian and the others appeared at this time.

"Chichi, wipe your sweat!"

After being busy for several hours, Yi Chichi now looked quite disheveled. Not only was his head and face covered in sweat, but his body was also covered in dirt and blood. Only his hands were clean.

It was also filled with a strong smell of disinfectant.

Just as she was about to go get some water, Ji Jian handed her a piece of clean cloth.

"Sister-in-law, why are you here?"

She was full of surprise, and Ji Jian said succinctly, "I'm worried that you're too busy and don't have enough food to eat or hot water to drink."

I see, I’m here to do logistics.

Yi Chichi reached out to take it and wiped his face carelessly, then stared at the water bottle hanging on her body and swallowed uncontrollably, "Sister-in-law, give me some water."

I'm dying of thirst.

"Give!"

Ji Jian took the kettle and gave it to her. "Drink this while Xiao Yang and I go boil some water and cook."

Before she finished speaking, she turned and left.

Yi Chichi quickly caught up and came to the door of the medical tent to look outside, only to find that in addition to the disaster relief workers, there were a group of military wives and fellow villagers who lived nearby and brought their own equipment to serve as logistics personnel.

The tent was set up, and the dry firewood wrapped in oilcloth was unloaded from the cart and moved into the tent. A strong man carrying a large iron pot rushed into the tent through the continuous rain and fog.

In addition to the smell of rain, mud and soil, there is also the smell of oil smoke in the air.

Yi Chizhi was silent for a moment. It seemed that Ji Jian and the others had been here for a while.

She held up the kettle and drank gulps of water, her mouth not touching the spout. When she was about to go to see Grandpa Zhang after drinking, Xiaoduo came over.

"Sister-in-law, can you give me something to drink?"

This girl is also busy until now. Yi Chichi is responsible for assisting Mr. Zhang and Dr. Lin and doing some simple work such as debridement and bandaging.

Xiaoduo is different. Not only does she have to do all these, she also has to prepare medical supplies. She is busier than her and talks more.

Because of the strong wind and heavy rain, the wailing and crying of the wounded were too loud, so she had to shout to speak.

After shouting for several hours, even the strongest voice would be worn out.

Her voice became hoarse and rough, and she frowned with a look of pain while speaking. Yi Chichi quickly handed her the kettle and said, "Drink slowly. Don't swallow too quickly, it will easily cause coughing in your throat..."

Before she could finish her words, Xiaoduo took the kettle and started drinking water in gulps. She drank quickly and urgently, then choked and coughed heart-wrenchingly, and the water that she had not yet swallowed was sprayed out.

It just happened to spray on Dr. Lin's face, which looked very tired.

Doctor Lin, “…”

He wiped his face with his hand and said helplessly, "Xiaoduo, if you don't like me, you can just say it directly. There's no need to spit at me."

"She didn't spit, she choked."

Seeing Xiaoduo blushing and wanting to explain, Yi Chichi, who was patting her back to relieve her cough, was worried that she would choke again while talking, so he quickly spoke up to explain for her.

Xiaoduo nodded quickly to indicate that she was right, and she also handed over the kettle attentively. The meaning was very clear: Doctor Lin, you should drink some water too.

"Where's the kettle?"

Dr. Lin was really thirsty and had no intention of refusing the kettle that was handed to him.

He took over and asked casually, and Yi Chichi explained, "Ji Jian and the others are here, so we'll have something to eat later."

As soon as the words came out of their mouths, their stomachs began to growl.

The three of them looked at each other, then looked away at the same time and continued to join the busy team.

The excavation work is still going on, and a small-scale landslide occurred in the middle. Fortunately, there were no large-scale casualties in the area where the landslide occurred because the excavation work has been completed.

Some of the diggers were injured by the falling mud and rocks, but fortunately they were only superficial injuries and not serious.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, Ji Jian and her friends had all the hot meals, dishes and hot water ready.

The staff began to eat and drink water in batches. At around 2:00 p.m., the rain gradually subsided, then stopped for more than an hour before continuing to rain.

But by this time all the excavation work had been completed, and the damaged houses and casualties had been counted.

What remains is the post-disaster reconstruction work after the rain stops, which has nothing to do with Yi Chichi.

She couldn't help either.

After being busy all night and all day, Mr. Zhang could no longer bear the workload due to his age, so he and Yi Chichi withdrew from the medical team and went home to rest.

It was already dark when I got home. The lights in the main room were on, the front door was open, and Qin Jiu was singing "Yingshanhong".

The young boy had a nice voice and sang beautifully. When he heard it, he shook his head and clapped his hands.

Wen's mother didn't see it, but the kitchen light was on, so at this time she was probably boiling water to prepare for washing.

The sound of rain covered up the creaking sound of Yi Chichi pushing the courtyard door. No one noticed her coming back until she stepped over the threshold and entered the main room. Wen Yi, who was clapping his hands, saw her and immediately a bright smile appeared on his chubby face.

"Mama..."

He screamed with excitement and crawled towards her on his hands and knees, leaving the mat.

Yi Chichi was startled by the sound of his mother calling her, and felt all the tiredness in her body disappear like a tide.

But the little kid's crawling movements and speed made her joy disappear, and she hurriedly backed away.

"My dear, don't come over here yet. Mommy is dirty."

She had stayed in the medical tent for too long, and the smell of mud, blood, medicine and disinfectant mixed together. Now she was not only smelly, but also dirty.

There might be a bunch of germs in it, so I dare not let children touch it.

However, Wen Yi doesn't listen when he should, but his ears are sharper than anyone else's when he shouldn't.

Yi Chizhi's retreat did not stop him from moving forward, but actually accelerated his progress.

Fortunately, Qin Jiu reacted quickly. When he saw her like this, he quickly rushed over and picked up the little reptile Wen Yi and held her in his arms. "Be good, little brother. Wait until mommy takes a bath and changes into clean clothes before I come to hold you."

Without waiting for Wen's response, he shouted towards the kitchen, "Grandma, Auntie is back. Please cook her some noodles or eggs."

After that, he asked Yi Chichi, "Aunt, have you eaten it?"

"not yet."

I didn't have time to take care of it.

Wen's mother, who had peeked out of the kitchen, heard this and immediately asked, "Do you want noodles or boiled eggs?"

"noodle."

Sugar-water eggs are not her cup of tea. They are too sweet and too choking. "You can just have an egg."

"Take a bath first and then eat, or eat and then take a bath?"

“Wash it before eating.”

It doesn’t take long to cook noodles, but taking a shower doesn’t take that long.

You also need to wash your hair. It’s better to wash it before eating to avoid the hair from clumping and affecting the taste.

So, Yi Chichi went to take a shower.

Wen Yi refused to do it anymore and kept clamoring to follow. The stubborn little brat could cause a lot of trouble. Qin Jiu really couldn't handle it, so he asked Wen's mother for help.

Wen's mother had no other choice but to hold Wen Yi and stand guard at the bathroom door, letting Yi Chizhi talk to him.

After coming out of the shower, he finally calmed down and stretched out his chubby little hands to hug her. There were traces of tears on his face and his eyes were red from crying.

"I'm just taking a shower. It's not like I don't want you anymore. Why are you crying like this?"

Yi Chichi kissed him out of pity. Wen Yi was content as long as she had her mother. She babbled to her and even reached out to grab the noodles on her chopsticks when she was eating.

He had already started eating complementary food, and Yi Chizhi did not stop him. He gave him some noodles to taste.

After eating and drinking, Wen's mother and Qin Jiu began to ask her about the situation in Santai Village.
