Chapter 286 Return Home
Lin Anan nodded. Of course she knew. Not only did she know, but her own illness would require a lot of money to treat.
She needs money and can earn more.
She has a chronic disease and can wait, but the people affected by the disaster cannot.
When life can be defined by money, then money is the most valuable.
"Brother Yan, life is priceless. This ten thousand yuan is just a string of numbers to me, but in Henan Province right now, it can save many, many people...
A stranger in our eyes may be the backbone of another family. This money is worth spending.”
Gu Yan was silent for a moment, then the corner of his mouth raised in a beautiful arc.
Compared to yesterday's liveliness, he saw a new shining point in her today: righteousness.
"But I'm not as thoughtful as you. If this thing succeeds, it will definitely be good for Mingzhou's reputation! We will definitely thank you when the time comes."
"Need not."
Lin Anan smiled happily, with her eyes curved. She looked very similar to when they first met, but... not quite the same.
Gu Yan shifted his gaze away and looked ahead quietly, his expression remaining calm.
Chu Mingzhou has quickly immersed himself in the intense coordination work. He first reported in detail to the Northwest Military Region the severe situation of epidemic prevention and control, as well as the fundraising and herbal prevention plans discussed by everyone, and then mentioned the central organization in the name of the Northwest Military Region.
In addition, the leading role of Lin Anan and Gu Yan was also emphasized.
The superior leaders were deeply moved after hearing this and immediately expressed their full support. They would speed up the approval process and arrange for someone to coordinate national fundraising matters to ensure that materials and funds flow to Henan Province as soon as possible.
Then, Chu Mingzhou contacted the surrounding unaffected areas and other military regions to explain the situation and seek assistance.
All parties responded one after another, some promised to urgently allocate herbal resources, and some expressed their willingness to send medical volunteers to support Henan Province.
It was not until the afternoon of the third day that the group boarded the evacuation vehicle.
Along the way, Lin Anan looked at the devastated scene outside the car window and felt extremely heavy.
After the flood, the villages were destroyed, the farmlands turned into a vast ocean, and the people lost their homes. They could only live in temporary resettlement sites, their eyes full of helplessness and confusion.
Chu Mingzhou gently held her hand and whispered to comfort her: "Don't worry, I will lead a team to support you as soon as I get back and settle you down. Henan Province will gradually get better."
"Yeah, okay."
Gu Yan sat in the passenger seat, remaining silent and looking out the window quietly.
The car stopped and started, and when it encountered some damaged sections of road, it had to get out to help clear the obstacles before it could continue moving forward.
Finally, after two days of trekking, they arrived in the Northwest.
Chu Mingzhou asked Captain Ke to lead the rest of the vehicles and soldiers back to the army, while he himself sent Lin Anan home first.
"Doctor Gu, you are tired from the journey. Come to my house to rest, take a bath and have a meal."
Gu Yan originally wanted to get off at the gate of the military compound, but Chu Mingzhou asked him to stay.
Chu Mingzhou obviously had something to say, and Gu Yan nodded and agreed.
When the military vehicle arrived at the door of her house, Lin Anan saw four figures standing at the door...and her eyes instantly turned red!
"mom!"
Lin's mother actually came.
"My An An!"
Lin's mother took a quick step forward, and as soon as the car door opened, she immediately reached out to support her daughter. She looked her up and down carefully, and was reluctant to move her eyes away.
"sister in law."
"Sister, brother-in-law."
Lin Zihuai and the two little guys also came over.
As soon as Lin Anan got out of the car, she was hugged tightly by her family. She couldn't hold back her tears any longer and they fell down.
The experiences in Henan Province during this period, the hardships and fatigue, the grievances and persistence, at this moment, all turned into longing for my family.
"Mom, I miss you so much!" Lin Anan said while choking.
Mother Lin gently stroked her hair, her eyes full of heartache: "My dear An An, you are finally back, you scared me to death!"
Lin's mother knew that her daughter was going to contribute to the organization. She had a lot to say, but there were outsiders present, and she thought it would be a mistake if she spoke too much, so she had to go home and say anything behind closed doors.
"Mom." Chu Mingzhou got out of the car and nodded to Lin's mother with a smile.
"Hey, Mingzhou, you've been tired, come in quickly, mom has made some food for you. I originally said you could arrive at noon, but it's already 1:30 in the afternoon."
As she was talking, Lin's mother's gaze suddenly fixed on Gu Yan, and her eyes widened little by little!
“You…you are…”
Gu Yan raised his eyes and shook his head slightly at her, then he politely greeted her, "Auntie."
Mother Lin's heart skipped a beat. She quickly glanced at her son-in-law and found that he looked normal and hadn't even looked at her. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Please... please come in."
"Um."
Lin's mother knew Gu Yan. When Lin Anan was sent to Shanghai Hospital for treatment, she accompanied her throughout the whole process.
Although I didn't know that the two were dating, as an elder, how could I not see that there was something fishy?
And my daughter has kept this man's photo...
Lin Zihuai kept chattering on the side. Such a grown-up boy didn't care about his image at all. While talking, he raised his hand to wipe away his tears, his eyes were bloodshot.
"Sister, you really scared us to death! You said you would be back soon, but there was no news for so long. Later, when we learned that a dam had collapsed in Henan Province, Mom was so scared that she fainted twice. She was so worried about you that she hurried to the Northwest to wait for you..."
The flood in Henan Province was a major event that shocked the whole country. Even after so much time, almost everyone knows about it.
When they learned that Lin Anan was in the disaster area, not only Lin's parents were worried, but the entire family and neighbors were also terrified.
As the team leader, Lin's father couldn't get away, otherwise it wouldn't just be Lin's mother who came.
The two little guys also followed Lin Anan eagerly.
Chu Minglan's eyes seemed to be able to speak, full of concern.
Chu Mingyu couldn't take it anymore. He was whimpering, tears streaming down his face, and he kept calling his sister-in-law.
After entering the main hall, Lin Anan squatted down and hugged the two little ones, "Don't cry, sister-in-law is back safely, and she also brought you some sesame candy, a specialty of He City. I kept my promise."
Lin Anan turned around and took out some candy from her bag, a small package wrapped in brown paper. But when she opened it, she found that the candy was all stuck together, a whole lump.
Lin Anan was dumbfounded. "This... I'm sorry... Sister-in-law didn't pay attention. I won't eat it. Wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and sister-in-law will take you to buy good ones."
This candy is a few days old. Lin Anan exchanged it for Aunt Li. But the weather is hot now and it has been affected by the flood, so it is difficult to preserve and no longer looks good.
"No, I'll try it."
Chu Mingyu wiped his face, stretched out his hand and broke off a small piece and put it in his mouth, and deliberately smacked his lips, "It's delicious. My sister-in-law is so good to me. She thinks of me wherever she goes."
