"Chief of the General Staff, Yuman, why are you here?" Before they could come forward, a familiar voice suddenly came from the side.
Turning around, I saw Dean Gao.
I haven't seen you for a while. Dean Gao has lost a lot of weight and there's even mud on his trouser legs.
"I haven't heard anything. It rained so hard last night, I was worried something might have happened." Qin Dongling said, "I'll be relieved if I come here to check... Lao Gao, have you been here the whole time?"
"No," Dean Gao shook his head. "We just got here this morning. A comrade from the weather station broke his leg last night. We found him this morning and came all the way here, fearing something might have happened."
"Is everything alright?"
"Good," Dean Gao said with a relieved smile. "They evacuated all the people from He'e Commune last night. Otherwise, if the reservoir had leaked again, the situation would definitely not be so optimistic."
The flood came back with a vengeance, and the water level in He Commune was even higher than before. For a short period of time, they had to live in a resettlement center.
"Comrade Jingchen is someone who can shoulder the heavy responsibility." Dean Gao said finally.
As he was talking, a few more people gathered around. They had a good relationship with Qin Dongling, and it seemed that they had high military ranks.
A group of leaders were talking together, which quickly attracted everyone's attention. Fu Jingchen, who was originally busy, quickly looked over here.
He hadn't slept the whole night, and he looked several times before confirming that his wife and father-in-law had arrived.
He quickly came over, took Jiang Yuman to sit next to him, and squatted down to wring out her wet trouser legs.
Seeing the bruises under his eyes, Jiang Yuman stretched out her hand to stop him, "Don't bother with this. We'll have to tread water again when we get out later."
Upon hearing this, Fu Jingchen didn't stop, "I'll carry you out." His reaction was surprisingly similar to Qin Dongling's.
"I can go out on my own," Jiang Yuman refused, her tone concerned. "I heard you were very tired last night. Did you not get much sleep?"
Fu Jingchen did not deny it and said, "Don't worry, just transfer all the people safely."
Speaking of this, Jiang Yuman was very curious, "Have you always lived here?"
"We have enough disaster relief tents. Today we will move to a larger and more spacious square." It is indeed safer here than in He Commune, but it is not a big deal for the soldiers to sleep on the ground.
Jiang Yuman nodded, and her eyes were suddenly drawn inside the tent.
A man was lifting his foot. The sole of his foot seemed to have been hit by a sharp object and was bleeding. A man and a woman were preparing to bandage his wound.
Jiang Yuman recognized them at a glance. They were Dr. Shi and his students. They probably came to support them today.
While Doctor Shi was busy giving medicine to the injured, Ji Rushuang glanced over here. When she saw Jiang Yuman, there was a hint of surprise in her eyes, as if she didn't expect her to appear here.
"Oh! It's really you!" The sudden voice startled everyone around.
The sweaty man whose wound was bandaged by Dr. Shi pointed at Jiang Yuman and said excitedly, "You are the kindhearted person who asked us to move our things here. Comrade, because of you, I am still able to get a newspaper!"
His voice made almost everyone's eyes focus on Jiang Yuman's face.
They all knew that a kind-hearted person had delivered the first batch of supplies before, and after they put an advertisement in the newspaper looking for her, other people began to deliver things one after another.
Without these supplies, their lives would have been even more difficult during this period of disaster.
"Is this true? There's actually such a young lesbian here." The old man next to him widened his eyes in surprise.
"Really?" the man said anxiously, "I'm sure I won't get it wrong." Otherwise, he would be afraid of ruining the reputation of lesbians. He wanted to say that she was so beautiful, how could he get it wrong?
But the people present were not stupid. Judging from the man's reaction, they could guess what was going on.
Since they remembered correctly...for a moment, they looked at Jiang Yuman with gratitude and respect.
"So beautiful and kind, lesbians are amazing."
Someone else gave a thumbs-up and said, "Oh, if she hadn't been recognized, she wouldn't have counted. Now she does good things without expecting anything in return!"
“…….”
Everyone was talking at once. Jiang Yuman hadn't faced so much sincere kindness for a long time, and she actually felt a little awkward.
She looked up at Fu Jingchen, only to find that he had a smile on his face and was looking at her softly, with no intention of rescuing her.
The soldiers were filled with emotion when they saw this scene. After an unknown amount of time, Monkey said quietly, "Sister-in-law is really kind. She is beautiful and kind-hearted."
The others didn't say anything, but they all nodded.
At this time, the editor holding the camera had already sensed the explosive point of the next issue of the newspaper, and quickly walked over to Jiang Yuman to interview her in person.
Jiang Yuman had been interviewed for her scripts before, and now she was being interviewed for doing good deeds. Looking at her father's eyes filled with hidden pride, she thought to herself that this time her low-key behavior had been exposed, so it wasn't a complete failure.
On the other side,
Everyone was watching with great interest. Zhuo Qinghuai only took a glance and urged, "Let's move our things."
When the leader gave the order, everyone lined up in pairs and followed him to move, even if they hadn't seen enough.
"There's water everywhere on the ground. Even though I'm wearing shoes, my feet are just like being soaked in water." Someone said bitterly on the road.
The others agreed.
The monkey said sadly, "Not everyone wears rain boots like the deputy chief of staff."
Others: “…”
Are you looking at Jiang Yuman or them?
From the moment Jiang Yuman's good deeds were exposed, Ji Rushuang's attention has always been on her.
"Rushuang, what are you daydreaming about?" Doctor Shi walked a long way away and saw that she was still looking over there, and his tone was funny.
Ji Rushuang came back to her senses instantly, retracted her gaze from 껗, and the admiration in her eyes was hidden as she moved.
That night, it didn't rain again.
The next day's newspapers detailed the second breach of the reservoir, and how the entire Hebei Commune had been evacuated, this time thanks to the cleverness of the 24th Army.
In the newspaper's half page, the 24th Army was highly praised, with emphasis on praising the performance of Fu Jingchen, Zhuo Qinghuai and others in the flood.
As the mysterious donor, Jiang Yuman's story occupies the second half of the page, detailing why she thought of donating, why she remained anonymous, and how she was finally recognized.
The newspaper obviously wanted to emphasize the theme of the close relationship between the military and the people. At the end, it also wrote about her husband, a soldier.
"People from the same family are closely related." Gao Fei was overjoyed when he saw the newspaper. "You two are actually reading the same newspaper."
