The firelight illuminated the dark night sky.
Everyone looked at the crackling fire at the back of the warehouse, their faces pale.
"Oh no, Brother Guoliang is still in there!"
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and put out the fire!"
Everyone was scrambling to rescue supplies and put out the fire.
At this time, a figure rushed out holding something.
.....
The next day it was bright.
Du Xiaoying reached out and touched her right eyelid, feeling a little uneasy for some reason.
"Mom, let's eat."
Du Xiaoying felt distressed and helpless. "Da Ya and Er Ya don't need to get up so early in the morning. Mom will get up and cook. You are in the growth period, so sleep a little longer."
Erya frowned, "Mom, I can't be lazy when Dad is not at home. If you let me sleep in and not exercise, I will feel uncomfortable all day long."
Daya nodded and said, "Mom, I'm used to it. I wake up on time. If you don't let me go to work in the fields, I can't lie down either."
Du Xiaoying sighed, "Okay, rest if you're tired, mom is at home."
"Um!"
Breakfast was yesterday's steamed buns with corn porridge and pickles.
"That's strange. Dad usually comes back around this time, but why hasn't he come back yet?"
"I guess something happened at work. Come eat quickly."
Although Du Xiaoying said this, her heart was beating fast involuntarily. Her right eyelid started twitching again, and she couldn't help but feel worried.
Then I comforted myself that the bicycle wheel might be flat and maybe it was on its way back.
After having breakfast, washing the pot, and feeding the five chickens at home, the mother and daughter went out.
Du Xiaoying watched her four daughters carrying their backpacks and going to school, chatting and laughing. She held Wu Ya in her arms and waited for Liu Dajiao and her daughters as usual, and went up the mountain together.
"Xiaoying, let's go back to where we were yesterday."
"good."
Just as the two of them entered the mountains, a young man wearing a dark blue work suit and pushing a bicycle came to the door of the Song family with an anxious look on his face.
"Comrade, have you seen Song Guoliang's wife?"
"Oh, everyone is probably going up the mountain to collect firewood at this time. What do you want to see my sister-in-law for?" The person who spoke was Li Erniu's wife Zhao Taohua, who was about to go up the mountain with a backpack on her back.
Seeing that the other person seemed very anxious, he hurriedly said, "Then wait a minute, I also happen to be going up the mountain, I will help you call your sister-in-law down."
"Okay, please hurry up, I have something urgent to do."
"Okay, okay."
As Zhao Taohua spoke, she quickened her pace and muttered to herself, "Looking at the clothes, I guess they belong to Brother Guoliang's unit."
But after searching the mountain for a while, we didn’t see anyone. We only saw Wu Ya, Yue Ya and a few other children.
"Wu Ya, where's your mother?"
Wu Ya said in a baby voice, "Mom and aunt went into the mountains to pick up mountain products."
"Oh, what should I do?" Zhao Taohua slapped her thigh anxiously.
Just when Zhao Taohua was getting dizzy with anxiety, she spotted two figures, one tall and one short, walking out of the woods, and immediately shouted excitedly.
"Sister-in-law, you're finally out. I was so worried."
"What's wrong Taohua?"
Zhao Taohua pointed hurriedly down the mountain and said, "Sister-in-law, someone is looking for you. I see that the clothes are similar to the work clothes that Guoliang wears. I guess they are from Guoliang's unit. You should go back and see what's going on."
"Okay, thank you Taohua."
Du Xiaoying's heart skipped a beat. She was so panicked that she hurriedly picked up Wu Ya and ran down the mountain to go home.
I saw the man sitting on a bicycle at the door from a distance and ran over breathlessly, "Comrade, you're looking for me, is it my Guoliang who's in trouble?"
"Sister-in-law, don't worry. I'm Liu Wei, a colleague of Brother Guoliang's in the security department. You can just call me Xiao Liu."
Du Xiaoying breathed a sigh of relief. "Xiao Liu, just tell me what you have to say. I can handle it."
Xiao Liu's face was not looking good, and he spoke quickly and urgently, "Sister-in-law, this is what happened. Last night, the warehouse suddenly caught fire due to an aging short circuit. Brother Guoliang discovered it in time while on night patrol and asked someone to sound the alarm.
While he was putting out the fire and rescuing supplies——"
Du Xiaoying's legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground, but fortunately Xiao Liu caught her quickly.
I couldn't help but recall that nightmarish day in my previous life!
Such a tall and majestic figure turned into a small box when he came back. His face turned pale in an instant, tears welled up in his eyes, and he sobbed uncontrollably.
"Guoliang, why did you leave like this and leave us mother and daughter behind? What do you want us to do..."
"Wuwuwu~ Mom and Dad~" Wu Ya cried loudly in fear.
Xiao Liu was startled and interrupted loudly, "Sister-in-law, Brother Guoliang is fine, he just injured his arm. He is now in the county hospital. The unit sent me to report the news!"
"W-what?" Du Xiaoying grabbed Xiao Liu's clothes and said, "Say it again!"
"Really? Brother Guoliang injured his arm while rescuing supplies and is now in the county hospital..."
Du Xiaoying wiped her tears, hurriedly carried her daughter into the house, and quickly took the money.
Liu Dajiao looked at the hurried mother and daughter, feeling a little worried. "What happened to Xiaoying? What happened?"
"Heimei, you came at the right time." Du Xiaoying hurriedly told her about Song Guoliang's injury.
"I'll take Wu Ya to see her father right away. I'm afraid Daya will get worried when she comes back and can't see us. Please tell the other kids not to worry."
"Okay, okay, go ahead."
Xiao Liu rode his bicycle directly to take the mother and daughter to the county hospital.
"Sister-in-law, I have to go back to work quickly. I'll come to see Brother Guoliang after work."
"Okay, go get busy." Du Xiaoying nodded and hurriedly carried her daughter to the ward.
On the hospital bed, the man looked pale and haggard, his eyelashes slightly closed, and his arms were tied with glaring gauze. Du Xiaoying couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in her nose, and she bit her lip to control her emotions.
Faintly hearing sobbing, Song Guoliang opened his red eyes, bloodshot, and asked, "Wife, why are you here?"
"Dad~"
Du Xiaoying sniffed and put her daughter down. "You were fighting fires and rescuing supplies last night. You must be exhausted. You should get some sleep."
"Yeah." Song Guoliang moved, "Xiaowu, come up and sleep with daddy for a while."
"Xiaowu, be careful not to touch daddy's arm~"
Wuya nodded, "Xiaowu, blow on daddy, and daddy won't feel any pain anymore~"
Du Xiaoying touched her little girl and told the man, "Take Xiaowu and take a nap for a while. I'll go buy you some food."
"Yeah." Song Guoliang watched his wife's back as she hurried away, hugged the chubby little girl, and asked softly.
"Xiaowu, is Mommy scared?"
Wu Ya's bright dark eyes turned, she pouted and thought for a while, then nodded and shook her head.
Song Guoliang frowned, "What does Xiaowu mean by nodding and shaking his head?"
"Uncle said that, and Mom and Xiaowu both cried. Then Mom smiled happily and brought Xiaowu to find Dad~"
