After class today, Jiang Baige went home to prepare dinner, but the door was locked. It was obvious that Chen Jianguo had not been there.

She thought Chen Jianguo might be busy and had no time to come and cook.

I took out the key and opened the door, went back to the room to put down my textbook, and then made something to eat. It was very hot now, and cold dishes were the best to go with rice.

The fastest she could make were simple dishes like smashed cucumber and a cold-mixed pork head. They were not bad, but the taste was not amazing either.

After packing her lunch box, she went to the armed forces department.

There was no one in the yard of the Armed Forces Department. She looked around and heard someone talking in the office.

Jiang Baige walked over and listened for a while, and heard someone saying that a forest fire had occurred somewhere.

She looked in through the window and saw that there seemed to be a lot of people inside, some of whom she didn't recognize.

Afraid that the people inside would come out and discover her, she turned around and went to the kitchen in the backyard.

Erzhu Niang was very busy now. She took out two cloth bags made of white cloth and put the steamed buns into the pockets. The buns were still very warm. She picked them up while blowing on her burned hands.

Jiang Baige put the dishes she brought on the table and asked.

"Auntie, what's going on? What are you putting all this up for?"

Erzhu Niang heard the voice and looked up at her.

Then he said, "Just now, the town below called and said there was a wildfire over there. The fire started this morning and it seems that it will not be put out in a short time. They need our people to go and provide support."

Jiang Baige thought to himself, no wonder I heard about forest fires just now, I didn’t expect that the mountain was on fire.

The crops are still in the fields now. If the fire burns to the foot of the mountain, the crops will be destroyed.

Jiang Baige was also a little worried. The fire had no eyes when it started burning. Once the wind blew, there was no telling which direction the fire would burn.

Seeing that Erzhu's mother was busy, she hurried to help pack the steamed buns. How could they be ready to be taken away to eat?

Siyan came out from somewhere and when he saw Jiang Baige, he hummed and rubbed against her legs.

He rubbed me so hard that I couldn't work, so I had to give the order to hold him still.

Jiang Baige said, "Siyan, sit down and don't move!"

Siyan was obedient and sat down quickly, even sticking out his tongue to act cute.

At this moment, Erzhu suddenly ran out and hurriedly asked, "Mom, is the dry food ready?"

Seeing Jiang Baige there, he shouted, "Sister-in-law, are you coming to see the captain? The captain should be busy now. We are about to set off."

Jiang Baige looked outside and saw Chen Jianguo in the yard in front of the Armed Forces Department.

He was carrying two water bottles, an army green shoulder bag, and a towel around his neck.

He was working, and Jiang Baige didn't want to disturb him, so she picked up the two boxes of food on the table and put them in a bag from the side.

When Erzhu was about to leave, she handed the bag to him.

"Erzhu, here are some dishes, remember to eat them when you eat."

Erzhu took it and said hurriedly: "Oh, I understand, sister-in-law, I'm leaving now."

Jiang Baige called him again: "Erzhu, tell your captain to be careful."

Erzhu responded: "Yes, I will complete the task."

At this time, Chen Jianguo's voice was heard, and he shouted fiercely.

"Erzhu, are you ready? Stop dawdling and get back to the team."

Erzhu, carrying a backpack, replied, "Coming, coming."

Watching him run out, Jiang Baige took a quick look outside and saw that the team had already left the armed forces department.

Siyan was still sitting there and didn't come to find him. Jiang Baige thought that Siyan probably wouldn't go.

Erzhu Niang left a few steamed buns, as she hadn't eaten yet.

He asked, "Girl, have you had lunch? Or you can just make do with this to fill your stomach."

Jiang Baige smiled and said without hesitation, "I'm not very hungry."

Erzhu Niang took out a plate of pickles and they started eating steamed buns.

Because of the sudden mission, the people in the armed forces had no time to eat, so Erzhu Niang hurriedly steamed two days' worth of steamed buns for them to take away.

The villagers don’t have enough food to eat, so they have to bring their own food when they fight the fire.

She asked, "Girl, if you're not full, here are two steamed buns. I'll give them to you."

She was busy steaming buns today and didn't cook porridge. She didn't know whether the girl was full.

Jiang Baige had already taken a steamed bun. These steamed buns were all very big, and she couldn’t finish this one.

He shook his head and said, "I've had enough, auntie, you eat."

Er Zhu Niang saw that she only ate this little bit, and sighed, "Why do you only eat this little bit? When I was a girl, if I had steamed buns, I could eat four in one meal."

Jiang Baige smiled at her and listened to her carefully.

There were more than a dozen people in Chen Jianguo's group. Erzhu came up to Chen Jianguo mysteriously with a bag in his hand.

"Hey, Captain, this is what your sister-in-law can bring you."

As he spoke, he handed a package into his arms.

Chen Jianguo didn't have time to visit his wife today. He didn't expect her to come over, but he didn't see her.

Looking back, I found that they had already left the armed forces department. Even if I looked again, I couldn't see anyone.

I felt something in my pocket and found what looked like two boxes.

Guessing it was food, I opened my backpack and put the food in.

Erzhu next to him said jokingly, "Captain, why don't you take a look at what your sister-in-law brought you."

He had just held something heavy and guessed that there must be something delicious inside.

Every time their sister-in-law comes over, she brings food, and today should be no exception.

Chen Jianguo said: "Go back to your team."

Erzhu immediately said, "Yes."

The next day, Jiang Baige went to work and saw several teachers chatting in the office.

Teacher Yuan said, "Hey, do you know? There's a fire in the mountains over in Shigou Village. We can see it from our house. The flames shot up into the sky in the middle of the night, illuminating half the sky red."

A male teacher continued, "Yes, I heard that the comrades from the Public Security Bureau and the Armed Forces have all gone. I think if they really can't put out the fire, we'll be the next ones to go."

Jiang Baige was correcting her homework with her head down. When she heard them talking, she looked up at them.

Then he asked, "It burned all day yesterday, and it hasn't been put out yet?"

Teacher Yuan said, "Yes, I just saw it this morning. The fire has burned several mountains."

After hearing this, Jiang Baige began to worry about Chen Jianguo. He had been gone for a whole day and didn't know when he would be back. The wildfire was so big, and she hoped he wouldn't get hurt.

Teacher Yuan suddenly asked, "Hey, Teacher Jiang, isn't your boyfriend from the Armed Forces Department? Did he go there too?"

Jiang Baige nodded: "I went there yesterday, but there is no news at all."

A teacher nearby said, "How are we going to put out the fire in this scorching heat? It's probably too hot to even get in!"

After hearing this, Jiang Baige couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Yes! It was a hot day, the sun was so scorching, and there was a huge fire in the forest. I'm afraid everyone would have been roasted.
