Seeing someone coming to distribute supplies, all the dark-skinned kids came over in an instant, some were timid and not too presumptuous.
While secretly glancing at Jiang Ningning's face.
Finally, a little girl with a pointy chin slowly approached and timidly opened her arms: "Hold me!"
The staff member was so scared that he ran over and pulled Jiang Ningning away.
"Secretary Jiang, you must not hug them just because you feel sorry for them. It will affect our management."
Avoid unnecessary physical contact and let the children here develop premature emotional attachment.
When the little girl saw the beautiful older sister avoiding her, her mouth pouted and soon tears fell from her eyes.
Jiang Ningning forced herself to harden her heart and nodded: "I understand."
After distributing the supplies, we took a few more photos and boarded the ship amidst the greedy gazes.
The boat had been sailing for a long time when she looked back for some reason and found several children still staring at her eagerly.
"The kids really like you," the rowing volunteer exclaimed.
But it is understandable. Xiao Jiang is pretty and gentle, and even adults are willing to get along with her.
"Since the implementation of the family planning policy in 1971, more baby girls have been abandoned. The conditions in the welfare home in Jiang County are considered good. I heard that in the poorest Zhao County nearby, one or two girls starve to death every year."
Jiang Ningning said to herself: When the "one-child policy" is implemented in 1980, there will be even more abandoned baby girls.
The small boat swayed, carrying supplies as it shuttled through the streets and alleys. The couple were so busy throughout the day that they didn't see each other again.
Ten o'clock at night.
Jiang Ningning boarded the plane back to the island.
After a tiring day, she leaned back tiredly, staring blankly across the cabin. Her face was vaguely reflected in the glass window, her brows were calm.
It's that kind of solid feeling in your heart that everything has been completely settled!
He's not dead, that's really good...
Thinking that the two little girls could finally rest assured, Jiang Ningning couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips.
She hopes that the cubs can grow up without worries and do not need to endure many things.
Half an hour later, the plane landed back at the base.
The rain finally stopped.
Jiang Ningning picked up her backpack and got off the plane a few steps later, someone caught up with her: "Sister-in-law, Captain Huo left some behind when he changed his clothes this morning."
Zhang Da handed over a crossbody bag and said, "It contains some repair tools such as wrenches. I'm going to rescue someone else tomorrow. Please return these things to Captain Huo for me later."
It was a very old crossbody bag, the edges of which were worn and frayed. The words on it were not very clear in the night, and the words "...factory advanced..." were vaguely printed on it.
The bottom had been sewn and patched, with patches upon patches, obviously having been used for many years.
"OK."
Jiang Ningning took it in her hand, the cross-body bag felt heavy, and when she lifted it up, the mechanical parts inside jingled.
It was already midnight, but the rescue area was still brightly lit and people were hurrying along.
As expected, the two groups did not sleep either.
"Mother!"
"Mom, I missed you a little more today than I did this morning."
Jiang Ningning squatted down and took the cubs in her arms, "Did you listen to Aunt Yan today?"
"Yes!" the little voices said in unison.
"You guys are awesome!" Jiang Ningning gave them a big kiss on the face.
Manman smiled with her little tiger teeth showing, Xia Xia had two dimples on her cheeks, and they shyly buried their faces in the crook of her neck.
In the blink of an eye, the steaming hot dough comes out of the oven.
Next to them, Lin Xiaoyan's heart was overwhelmed with aunt's love. How could two little balls be so cute?
"Ningning, are you hungry? I'll get you some midnight snack."
Manman raised his chin and said, "It's Chinese sausage clay pot rice. My sister and I taught Aunt Yan to make it, and Grandpa Wen also praised it for being delicious."
Jiang Ningning was surprised: "What Grandpa Wen?"
She was not there on that day, and the little guy made new friends?
"Grandpa Wen is Goudan's grandpa!"
Manman's voice was full of admiration: "Mom, do you know? Grandpa Wen and other grandfathers have always lived in the desolate mountains. It's inspiring that they can still make wind radar in the most difficult environment."
Why is radar so powerful? It has a lot of unfamiliar terms. He used to have no interest in these things, but now he can hardly remember them.
He was so boastful that he didn't know how to continue and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.
Xia Xia explained in a baby voice, "The wind radar uses pulse signals to detect the wind speed and direction outside the typhoon and provide early warning for coastal areas. The number of radar stations is still too small. Grandpa Wen said that if we can solve the fuel problem as soon as possible, improve multi-stage separation and other technologies, and send more rockets into outer space, we can deploy Starlink, and we will be able to accurately warn of typhoon conditions in the future..."
Manman is worthy of being born by Jiang Ningning.
The mother and daughter's black eyes widened and they felt dizzy after listening.
But she was too embarrassed to discourage her daughter (sister) from her enthusiasm, so she cooperated with him with her most perfect acting skills of her life, nodding from time to time as if she understood.
When talking about these topics, Xia Xia's whole body was glowing, completely different from her usual shy appearance.
On the other side, seeing her mother and brother listening so attentively, Xia Xia puffed out her chest and became more and more excited as she spoke, reciting the professional terms that Grandpa Wen told her one word after another.
When Lin Xiaoyan nearly hit her head on the table for the first time, she decided to give up her ideological progress.
Forget it, she decided to go to the stove to have a midnight snack.
She didn't know if it was her hallucination, but the moment Lin Xiaoyan stood up, she felt two burning gazes following her out of the tent.
That night, Jiang Ningning and Manman had the best sleep quality ever.
I woke up the next day feeling refreshed.
"Mom, do you want to go out for rescue again?" Manman hugged Jiang Ningning's neck and acted coquettishly.
Jiang Ningning finally remembered something extremely important.
She brought both cubs to her side.
The brother and sister sat side by side, their hands obediently behind their backs, their heads slightly tilted back.
The big black eyes looked at her with admiration without blinking.
Jiang Ningning's heart softened and she stopped trying to protect him. "Your father Heidan is not dead. He was rescued from the sea."
"Luckily, mom met him in the hospital yesterday. Although dad's right leg was injured, he is not in any danger of life."
"However, Heidan's father has to stay in Jiangcheng for rescue and will not be back until half a month later."
After hearing her words, the two corners of his mouth pulled down at the same time.
No matter how hard they try.
Mom finally knew that Heidan was missing!
Instead of any sense of relief or joy, the air was surprisingly quiet.
This was completely different from the expected reaction. Jiang Ningning was shocked: "Aren't you happy?"
"Happy!"
Manman reached out and held her sister's hand, and raised the corners of her mouth again with great "happiness", even raising her voice deliberately: "We are just too happy, it's great that Comrade Heidan is not dead."
...So fake.
Manman believed that Jiang Ningning mistakenly thought that they didn't know and was deliberately acting in front of them, so he sensibly cooperated with her in the performance.
