The flood was severe, submerging many villages and communes. In the low-lying areas near the reservoir, the water level reached over two meters.
All the troops stationed in Beijing had to rush to the rescue, and the PLA Logistics Department, represented by President Gao, also had to go deep into the flooded areas to prevent and treat diseases for the victims... Most of the people in the General Military Region compound were there.
Jiang Yuman didn't have the habit of reading the newspaper in the morning. Since the flood, the first thing she did when she got upstairs every day was to read the newspaper.
In today's newspaper, there was a picture of soldiers sleeping on sandbags. Fu Siyi pointed at it and asked, "Mom, who is Dad?"
He hadn't seen Fu Jingchen for several days. He asked his mother and grandfather, and they said he could see him in the newspaper.
"Your father isn't up there," Jiang Yuman said. "They're sleeping in a tent now."
There has been no rain in the capital since the day before yesterday, and it's even sunny today. The situation has stabilized.
The 24th Army is dredging floodwaters in the detention areas and camping in tents at resettlement sites.
"Mom, what is a tent?" Fu Siyi looked at her.
Jiang Yuman tried to explain it in a way he could understand, "A house made of cloth can be zipped up."
Fu Siyi knew about zippers. Every time he put on his coat, his parents and grandparents would ask him to zip it up.
He quickly asked, "Is there a TV in there?"
Jiang Yuman was speechless for a moment, but Qin Dongling beside him couldn't help laughing and picked him up. "It's you, the clever little guy, who wants to watch TV, right?"
"Dad, wait until he finishes breakfast before watching TV." Jiang Yuman tried to stop him.
"You don't listen to your mother," Fu Siyi quickly covered Qin Dongling's ears, "Grandpa, I love you the most."
Even someone as serious as Qin Dongling was amused by his grandson and laughed heartily. He deliberately teased him, "If you block Grandpa's ears, how can I hear clearly?"
Fu Siyi believed it, put his hand on his ear and said it again.
Qin Dongling didn't even eat breakfast and carried him to turn on the TV. Jiang Yuman looked at the backs of the grandfather and grandson, feeling both angry and amused.
Ever since he was able to straighten his tongue, this kid seemed to have opened up his Ren and Du meridians, and learned how to coax his elders without any instruction.
He knew his position in the family clearly. Whenever Jiang Yuman didn't like something, he would pester his grandfather or grandparents, using sweet words and grammar to achieve his goal accurately every time.
With a face so similar to Fu Jingchen, but doing things that acted like a spoiled child and cute, Jiang Yuman would sometimes find it particularly interesting, deliberately teasing him and watching him act like a spoiled child.
"Xiaoman, you eat first and don't wait for us." Qin Dongling turned on the TV and didn't forget to turn around and remind his daughter.
Fu Siyi also stood up from the sofa and imitated her words, "Xiao Man, don't wait for us."
Qin Dongling and Sun Shifu both laughed, "Xiaoyi, this is not what you should say, or your mother will beat you."
Beat someone up? Fu Siyi rolled his eyes, quickly covered his mouth, turned around, and watched the TV with relish.
Even after Jiang Yuman finished eating, the two of them were still sitting on the sofa, one watching TV and the other reading a file, with no intention of coming over for breakfast.
Originally, Jiang Yuman planned to let her son play more, but seeing his current condition, it would be better to send him to the military kindergarten.
Fu Siyi felt a chill on his back for some reason. He turned around and saw that his mother didn't seem to be looking at him.
He breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes turned, and he suddenly said happily, "Aunt Feifei."
Jiang Yuman turned around and saw Gao Fei standing at the door with something in his hand, looking like he was about to knock.
"Xiaoyi has such good eyesight. He saw me before I even knocked on the door."
"Come in and sit down," Jiang Yuman led her in. Seeing her carrying a lot of bags, she asked, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to deliver medicine to my dad. I didn't bring much last time."
At this point, she seemed to recall something, her eyes filled with worry. "I heard it's going to rain again in the next few days. The commune over 20 miles away is flooded. If it rains again, the city will be flooded sooner or later."
"Is this news accurate?" Jiang Yuman asked solemnly.
The silt in the flood detention area has not been cleared yet, and the breached reservoir has just been rebuilt. If it rains more, the disaster will be even more difficult to control.
"I heard from my friend at the weather station that the observatory has already reported it. Anyway, we're prepared for the worst."
Gao Fei raised the things in his hand and said, "I'm afraid my dad won't have time to come back, so I'm sending him something."
Sun Shifu, who was listening nearby, suddenly said, "Let me drive you there."
"I've been waiting for you to say that," Gao Fei said without hesitation. After that, he asked, "Yuman, will you come with us?"
Jiang Yuman shook her head. She did intend to give something as a gift, but it was definitely not something this simple.
"Then let's go first."
Gao Fei and Sun Shifu left in a hurry.
Jiang Yuman didn't stay at home for long. She couldn't go out due to the heavy rain a few days ago. Now that it was clear today and she heard that it might rain again, she planned to move out the supplies she had stored and send them to the resettlement site.
The flood was severe, but the impact on the capital was not great. After the rain stopped, a small patch of water filled the sunken area, while the rest of the area was covered with a shallow layer of undried silt.
She found an alley and cleared out all the supplies in the space.
Wild ginseng has been planted in black soil for a long time, and due to the passage of time, it has turned a deep yellow. Its roots are large, with crisscrossing roots and densely packed pearly dots indicating the age of the plant.
You can tell at a glance that it is wild ginseng from a very old age, and the effect is excellent.
Even with the spatial flow rate, it would take years to grow such wild ginseng. Jiang Yuman kept half and took out the rest.
The supplies and wild ginseng were carried to the resettlement site in the capital by hired porters.
The resettlement site is for the victims who were displaced from their homes by the flood and the soldiers who were busy with rescue work. When they saw these daily necessities, the simple soldiers and civilians all had tears in their eyes.
They pulled the porters over to ask, but the porters only knew that it was a beautiful female volunteer and did not know the true identity of this kind-hearted person.
At this time, the newspaper editor came back after a circle.
Seeing everyone gathered in a group, he followed them forward to find out what was going on, not knowing what was going on.
The next day, in addition to publishing the flood situation in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the morning paper also specifically thanked an anonymous kind-hearted person in a prominent position and expressed the hope that the kind-hearted person would see the news and contact them as soon as possible.
Other hard-working people who were able to serve the motherland also lent a hand after seeing the newspaper. Bag after bag of supplies were moved into the resettlement site, and the original simple disaster shelter was now full of food.
Food is the most important thing for people. Smelling the fragrance of the food, the frightened people finally smiled for the first time in these days.
The soldiers also had a rare and satisfying meal.
In the middle of the night, Fu Jingchen came back temporarily, dusty and covered in mud on his clothes and shoes.
