"Mom, did you forget? Last time we talked to Dad on the phone, he has been in Jiangcheng participating in the rescue."
Xia Xia didn't dare to look into her mother's eyes.
The little body was shaking with endurance.
Jiang Ningning's nose was sore. How could she not understand? She quickly explained: "Mom also took several photos of Dad. I'll ask Auntie to help print them out later..."
Then she saw her son's eyes turning red little by little.
Tears fell like crazy.
There was a hint of pleading in his hazy eyes.
Mom, let me deceive you, and you continue to deceive us, okay?
The little hand gently grasped the hem of her clothes, and the fingertips turned white with pressure.
Please, Mom...
Jiang Ningning stopped for a moment.
Until, a wave of pain and grief suddenly tore up from deep inside.
She looked up at the sky, trying hard to hold back her tears.
"You guys wait for mom first."
Half an hour later, the names of the mother and her two children appeared on the latest rescue list of Jiang County.
"Secretary Xiao Jiang, are you really not considering it anymore?" Deputy Company Commander Wang said in a hoarse voice.
At first, he looked down on Jiang Ningning, thinking that she was a weak lesbian who would definitely not be able to stand the noise and would go back to make a scene.
But after spending these days together, she completed every task excellently. And they go wherever there is danger.
While taking care of the family, she also rescued and defended the country. She is not only a good mother, but also a great military comrade!
Jiang Ningning naturally wouldn't tell him the real reason, because it was to let the two children see their living father with their own eyes. Otherwise, they would live in self-deception for a long time, and sooner or later there would be huge mental problems.
Isn't this reason simply giving others something to talk about?
"Sacrifice your own family to protect your family, and the collective interests are above everything else! You have taught me well through your words and deeds these days."
The strong smell of tea mixed with flattery made her shiver.
Deputy Company Commander Wang was secretly moved and without hesitation, he stamped the official seal on the back of the list.
What a dedicated female comrade! Yet, there are people in the base who are smearing her behind her back. The situation must be complicated.
"Secretary Jiang, you don't have to pay attention to those reports. Those who gossip about you behind your back are just jealous of you."
Jiang Ningning looked confused, "What report letter?"
Deputy Company Commander Wang showed her several anonymous letters of complaint on the table.
"Dear leader, I am reporting that Jiang Ningning has a bad work style and has committed typical petty-bourgeois behavior. The following are some examples..."
There are even more direct ones, "Anonymous report that Secretary Xiao Jiang has been giving special treatment for several days, which seriously deviates from the spirit of hard work and simplicity, and must make a deep self-examination."
It's really that Jiang Ningning is too smooth in her dealings with people, and she has too much positive energy.
There is nothing wrong with his character. All his work was done perfectly, but you are finding fault with him in the end.
They were all reporting her for being undisciplined in taking her children to the front line, or for having a private relationship with Lin Xiaoyan and indulging in petty bourgeois hedonism.
The first one is tacitly accepted by the leaders, which is the petty-bourgeois hedonism, and we really need to pay attention to the downside.
Normally, everyone who came to the frontline would bring some supplies and make some delicious snacks by themselves, and no one would report it.
It just so happens that Jiang Ningning is too eye-catching. There are always narrow-minded people who can't stand seeing others living too well.
"Leader, please take a look. This is a certificate issued by the military doctor. My body was seriously damaged after giving birth, and the two children also lacked energy and blood. The military doctor asked the three of us to eat some meat every meal to supplement our nutrition."
Jiang Ningning had been on guard against this move for a long time, and carried proof with her and showed it to the guy.
Everyone in the base knew that she was abused by the "crazy mother-in-law", and the official seal of the health center was also on the certificate.
The eight lead characters "severe anemia" and "acute gastroenteritis" at the fold are very eye-catching, and the doctor's instructions are clearly written - two taels of lean meat and one egg are required every day.
"The person who wrote the report letter is really too much!" Jiang Ningning is not the kind of person who works hard and swallows humiliation. For a few seconds, an expression of grievance and sadness appeared on her face.
It seems that because he was too angry, he inadvertently revealed his own hardships in front of his leader:
"These days I go out early and come back late. Sometimes I am so hungry that I have low blood sugar and then I just want to eat a few bites of compressed biscuits. Why does he only focus on me eating the good food?"
Upon hearing this, Deputy Company Commander Wang felt the same way, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
There were also rumors behind the scenes that he took special care of Jiang Ningning in order to please Huo Donglin.
If he was such a scheming villain, he would not have arranged for Jiang Ningning to take photos at the most dangerous flood relief site on the first day.
"There's nothing wrong with you following the doctor's orders."
Once these words were spoken, this boring farce came to an end.
Jiang Ningning left the command post tent and vaguely felt that there were prying eyes around her.
He paused involuntarily, and when he looked again, that sight had disappeared.
Lin Xiaoyan paced back and forth anxiously outside the tent. She saw Jiang Ningning coming back from afar and hurriedly stepped forward to meet her.
"Ningning, you didn't get scolded, did you? It's all my fault. I got you reported."
In fact, to be honest, she was just greedy, and building the stove was her own idea in the beginning. Jiang Ningning was completely dragged down by it.
She hung her head in self-reproach.
Many people around stopped.
The news that someone reported "Jiang Ningning's bourgeois lady behavior" spread throughout the base last night. The news spread so quickly, and it was obvious that they were worried that the higher-ups would protect her, so they deliberately made things worse.
In front of everyone, Jiang Ningning took out the certificate from her pocket.
"I'd like to ask you to judge this. This is the medical advice from the base doctor. It says that I have serious gastrointestinal problems due to long-term hunger, and my two children have growth retardation due to malnutrition.
The three of us, mother and children, all have severe anemia problems and must supplement with sufficient protein every day. Otherwise…”
She rolled up her sleeves to expose her arms.
There was a red and purple spot on the elbow, which was particularly eye-catching among the white porcelain and it hurt just looking at it.
"The needle marks left by my low blood sugar yesterday are still on my arm."
The crowd suddenly became quiet.
Lin Xiaoyan's current mood is pain. She loves Jiang Ningning very much. Look at how serious her anemia is, which is why she pricked her arm like this.
But the next moment, Jiang Ningning had already held her hand, her voice full of gratitude: "So, Xiaoyan, are you doing something special? You are clearly saving the lives of us three children!"
"!!"
Lin Xiaoyan was deeply struck by the sudden sense of responsibility and mission.
A pair of red eyes were filled with anger, "Ningning, wait, I'll report it to you."
From that day on, the meals at the rescue site varied from morning to night.
Don't ask, asking is to respond to the spirit of hard work and simplicity.
Everyone hated those villains who wrote the report letters.
A new group of rescue workers had already boarded a helicopter to Jiangcheng.
Lin Xiaoyan held the huge military backpack filled with food and said excitedly: "I am the only female comrade in the entire kitchen squad. When the old squad leader heard that I was bullied, he was so angry that he chopped the chopping board in half on the spot."
Wow! The two little kids clapped their hands so excitedly that they turned red.
He looked carefree, as if he had forgotten the pain he had experienced two mornings ago, but his pair of pleading black eyes had already penetrated deeply into Jiang Ningning's mouth.
She looked ahead.
It’s almost time, we will be able to see their black father soon.
