Chapter 191 Wang Lijuan Successfully Enters the Village
More than 100 elite soldiers from the military helped with the rescue and relief efforts. Three days after the rain stopped, the fallen hillsides and trees were finally cleared, and the road was passable again.
“There were signs of a minor landslide before. If it continues to rain during this period, the villagers should not go out. Even if there is a reason that you absolutely must go out, you must pass through this section of the road as soon as possible.”
Qi Jingchuan rushed over to explain the precautions to Xiang Yiguo. This year's rainstorms were more severe and sudden than in previous years, flooding most of the village.
Fortunately, the grain harvest was timely this year, which prevented the villagers from suffering too much loss. After the rain stops, they can proceed with autumn planting.
Hearing Qi Jingchuan's words, Xiang Yiguo was moved to tears.
"Commander Qi, Nurse Cen, thank you both so much. If it weren't for you leading the team to the countryside for rescue, we ordinary people don't know how we would have survived this year."
These ordinary people, the farmers, are most afraid of famine like in previous years, with people starving to death in every family. Fortunately, this year's harvest has been stored in the granary; otherwise, the production team of nearly 300 households would not have had a good year.
Cen Yan chuckled, "We shouldn't thank you, we should thank the organization. It's because the organization has done a good job leading us."
Xiang Yiguo patted his forehead. "Yes, yes, it's all thanks to the good leadership of the organization. Nurse Cen, Commander Qi, the villagers are planning to slaughter a pig tonight to thank you for your hard work. We'd like to invite you all to a feast of 'pig-killing stew.' You must do us the honor of joining us!"
"We appreciate your kindness in not taking a single needle or thread from the people." Qi Jingchuan saluted. "The matter of Xiangyang Brigade has come to an end. We will return to our team tonight, or go to other production teams to help out."
Xiang Yiguo looked troubled. "How can this be? Nurse Cen, please help me and try to persuade Commander Qi."
Cen Yan had nothing to say to persuade them; it was military regulation. Before, when she invited the soldiers to dinner, she always did so in the name of their families. If she had used any other name, none of them would have accepted the meal.
Now, if we ask Xiang Yiguo to lead the production team to slaughter the pig, not only will Qi Jingchuan disagree, but no one else will agree either.
“Captain Xiang, this pork stew is really going too far. The pigs in the production team are raised until the end of the year and sent to the slaughterhouse to earn money for everyone in the production team. How can we just eat it like this? If you really feel bad about it, you can send a joint banner to the naval units on Dongming Island. That would be more gratifying than eating any amount of pork stew.”
Cen Yan felt that the banner had really done a great job; for anything that was hard to refuse, showing the banner would definitely work.
Seeing that she had gone this far, Xiang Yiguo had no choice but to agree.
Just then, a car slowly drove up to the village entrance, making quite a commotion.
Cen Yan recognized the car; it was the pickup truck that Qi Jingchuan had borrowed from the military after they registered their marriage. How did it end up at Xiangyang Brigade?
Qi Jingchuan, with his sharp eyes, recognized the person in the passenger seat. "It's my teacher's wife."
Cen Yan looked over and saw that it was indeed Wang Lijuan. However, the Wang Lijuan she saw today was pale and bloodless, as if she had been seriously ill. As soon as the car stopped, before it had even come to a complete stop, she couldn't wait to grab the handrail and jump out.
"I'm afraid your wife came here this time for Wang Manman. Now that the road is open, the villains should pay the price." Cen Yan raised an eyebrow, making no attempt to hide her schadenfreude in front of Qi Jingchuan.
Qi Jingchuan nodded and echoed, "Yes! Wife, none of those who hurt you will get away with it."
