Even so, no one fell behind. Everyone looked at the two figures in the front. With them there, everyone had a backbone.
The journey of more than ten kilometers took only more than an hour in the heavy rain.
Some of the comrades from the Heping Corps were staring at the rain outside, unable to sleep, while others were already sound asleep and were woken by the soldiers, who hurried out with their families.
The soldiers knocked on doors from house to house. The ground was too slippery and the elderly were afraid of falling, so each of them carried one on their backs.
Even though the speed was fast enough, the water on the ground soon reached the calf level.
The rain fell at an angle, and Fu Jingchen could hardly open his eyes. But when he looked down at his shiny rain boots washed by the water, his whole body seemed to be filled with endless strength.
…
The next day, Jiang Yuman carried Xiaoyi downstairs and saw Sun Shifu walking out in a hurry, and Qin Dongling was nowhere to be seen.
"Uncle Sun," she looked around, "Why don't I see my dad?"
Normally at this time, Qin Dongling should be sitting at the dining table reading the newspaper. Why is he nowhere to be seen today?
Seeing her, Sun Shifu stopped and said, "In the car, we're going to the resettlement site soon."
Jiang Yuman recalled the heavy rain last night and asked nervously, "Isn't the terrain there quite high? Could something have gone wrong?"
"Yesterday, the comrades at the Qiqihar Station had an accident on the road and failed to notify Jingchen and others. The Chief of General Staff had to go and see them immediately before he could feel at ease." Sun Shifu explained.
Last night's rain was similar to the initial downpour. No one knew what the situation was in areas that were not notified.
"Me too." Jiang Yuman said subconsciously.
Sun Shifu disagreed, "Xiaoyi is not suitable for the Qian side."
Jiang Yuman lowered her head to look at her son. After washing his face, the little guy was looking at her with energy. He seemed to know that he could see his father again, and he stared at his mother without blinking.
Judging from his posture, it seems that he will cry if Jiang Yuman says no.
"Old Sun, why haven't you come out yet?" Qin Dongling waited in the car for no one, so he just came in. "You haven't found the thing yet?"
"I found it," Sun Shifu raised the document in his hand, "Xiao Man said she wanted to go too, so she delayed us for a while."
Fu Siyi couldn't wait to say, "Fuck you, I want one too."
Qin Dongling didn't want to stop his daughter, but his grandson was indeed a nuisance. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Send him to your Uncle Zhuo... Don't cry, we'll come pick you up soon."
The last sentence, of course, is to comfort Xiaoyi.
After promising a series of requests to buy candies and cakes, Fu Siyi finally agreed to this request.
Seeing Zhuo Qiwei welcoming him in, the father and daughter looked at each other and both felt relieved.
"Dad, is there no news about the situation over there?" Jiang Yuman was very nervous on the way.
Qin Dongling shook his head. "No, it rained tonight and there wasn't even time to report it in the newspaper, but it shouldn't be a big deal."
For the rest of the journey, neither of them spoke. As they got closer and closer to the resettlement site, the ground was filled with water and mud, and the Red Flag car would get stuck. They had no choice but to walk across.
"I'll carry you across the river." Looking at the ankle-deep mud, Qin Dongling hesitated.
"No," Jiang Yuman felt a surge of warmth in her heart, but she still refused. "I can't just go in and have you carry me everywhere, right?"
She insisted on walking by herself, and Qin Dongling had no choice. Fortunately, after walking for a while, he vaguely saw the tent.
Inside and outside the tents, there were tons of people sitting or lying down. In the open space, there were a few porters moving things, a man holding a military camera, and a doctor.
Soldiers in military uniforms were coming in and out, but Jiang Yuman saw Fu Jingchen in the middle at a glance.
