"Emergency Notice! On July 28th, a strong earthquake struck Fenghuang City, Hebei Province! The magnitude reached 7.8, causing significant damage to people's lives and property! Emergency action is being taken across the country to support earthquake relief efforts in the affected areas!"
"Emergency Notice! On July 28, a strong earthquake struck Fenghuang City, Hebei Province!"
The factory radio broadcast the breaking news, and everyone was shocked and saddened for a moment.
Qiu Yuling urgently formulated response policies, allocated all logistical supplies, and formed a rescue team in response to the workers' spontaneous call.
The simple times and the simple people once again brought her a great shock. The workers all felt that they had a responsibility to do their part to help their compatriots who were affected by the disaster.
"I'm in good health, let me go!" "We have to hurry and help our brothers and sisters in Phoenix!" Such words echoed throughout the workshop. They quickly packed their bags, gathered their tools and supplies, and prepared to rush to the disaster area at any moment.
Qiu Yuling had no choice but to ask the factory office to make adjustments and requirements. "First, only those in good health can be included. Second, only children are not allowed to apply. Third, priority will be given to those whose relatives are in Phoenix City..."
After contacting her fourth uncle's fleet, Qiu Yuling managed to secure four trucks, three of which were loaded with supplies, some of which were for their own logistics support and some of which were purchased through other sources. The remaining truck was for workers eager to go to the front lines to provide support.
The head of the security department was a demobilized soldier. He led the team personally and set off day and night.
Qiu Yuling began to worry about Li Xingyao. She knew that his original destination was far away from Phoenix City, but it was inconvenient for them to communicate with each other now. She was afraid that they would change their route to a nearby place later.
Her worries were not unfounded. When Li Xingyao and his team heard the local broadcast, they spontaneously formed a rescue team and went to provide support.
He didn't even have time to report to the organization before he was taken away by a military vehicle on the road.
Now is the time for large factories to demonstrate their responsibilities. Qiu Yuling is in charge of the rear and has a lot of things to do. Considering the difficulties of post-disaster reconstruction, she began to donate materials for post-disaster reconstruction.
Not only was she preparing for these, her parents-in-law were also carrying out related work at their respective workplaces.
Even the three brothers of the Qiu family made donations in their own names at their respective workplaces, and Qiu Dahe's troops were even dispatched to the scene as soon as possible.
When passing by Wu City, Wang Xiaotao, with her medium-sized belly, delivered Ludou to Qiu Yuling.
"Sister Xiaotao, you're pregnant, are you going to the frontline too?"
Wang Xiaotao is in charge of communications engineering. Before follow-up support is provided, she has the responsibility as a soldier.
The couple acquiesced. Qiu Yuling embraced her nephew and stuffed their arms full of things. "No matter when or where, you must remember that you are the most important. This is what we say to each other behind closed doors. You two must take it to heart. Remember?"
This statement seemed wrong to the couple. From the day they put on that layer of skin, they had been aware of putting others before themselves. However, Qiu Yuling's insistence forced them to compromise and agree.
"...I'll leave Ludou to you first. We feel at ease with you." At this time, Wang Xiaotao only thought of Qiu Yuling. Her father and mother also had their own tasks. The old man was too old to take care of the naughty child.
Only Qiu Yuling is the most suitable person to be entrusted.
Li Qingmei and her grandmother had originally felt sorry for the front line, but it was even more obvious at this moment. When their own children had to go to the front line one by one, they felt unprecedented anxiety in their hearts.
"Dahe, Xiaotao, just listen to Yuling. Eat what she tells you to eat on time. Especially Xiaotao, don't act so arrogantly. You have another baby in your belly. Just for him, you can't let others worry..."
In fact, Wang Xiaotao was responsible for setting up a communications base and did not need to go down to the heart of the disaster area. Relatively speaking, the danger was smaller, but he could not be careless and ignore these concerns.
"Got it, Mom. I'll leave Lubao in your care, Grandma and I. We have to set off now. The main force has already set off, and we have to keep up..."
In fact, they only stayed for about an hour in total, and only had time to exchange a few personal words.
Qiu Yuling took Lu Bao by the hand and said, "Say goodbye to Mom and Dad. Ask them to write to us regularly. Let's wait for them to come back together!"
"Goodbye, Mom and Dad. I will be a good boy at my aunt's house. I won't act up or bully my sister..."
Lu Dou was already old enough to go to school, and Qiu Yuling began to take him to and from get off work every day. If she went to the factory, he would attend classes at Zaohua School. If she went to the Party School, he would sit aside and listen while doing homework.
It's not that she doesn't want to leave the child at home for the elderly to look at, but the child is really smart. Qiu Yuling feels that smart people should be taught according to their aptitude, rather than letting them grow wildly like weeds when their brains are developing.
During this anxious waiting and anticipation, the letter sent back by Li Xingyao let Qiu Yuling know that he had actually met his second brother and others, which was also good news.
He is a geological expert and was directly recruited into the technical team on site, so they can take care of each other.
With the address, Qiu Yuling sent him food, clothing and daily necessities for the first time.
Considering that he would have comrades fighting alongside him, except for the pills, he was given as many doses of everything else as possible and as frequently as possible.
Li Xingyao once again intuitively felt the strength transmitted by his lover, and always felt that he had endless energy every day!
When someone was taking a break, they teased him, "Captain Li gets so excited whenever he gets a letter from home..."
Li Xingyao bluntly boasted about this mutual love, "...So, you also have to persist in meeting the right person..."
"You talk as if this can be achieved through persistence..."
"That's right, that's right, Captain Li is really talking without any worries..."
On August 25 of the same year, just when the communication infrastructure was being built, Wang Xiaotao gave birth to a baby named Qiu Wenzhi in the field hospital. His name was taken from the homonym of the word "purple".
The name "Zi" (Azi) was originally chosen, referring to a deciduous tree whose wood can be used for construction and crafting. The word "Zi" carries beautiful connotations such as nobility, blessing, perseverance, harmony, diligence, and friendship. It symbolizes noble qualities, the desire for peace and health, perseverance, hard work, and friendship and mutual assistance.
This was during the Chinese New Year when Wang Xiaotao and her sisters-in-law pestered Qiu Yuling to ask about the meanings of their children's names.
It was originally a very suitable character, but when it was connected together it became bad and became Autumn Mosquito!!!
So I compromised and changed it to Zhi, Qiu Wenzhi! Zhi in the name means determination and concentration, and it also reflects the child's lofty ideals and ambitions for the future. When combined with the Chinese character "wen", it is even more wonderful!!!
Qiu Dahe took a moment to check that the mother and child were safe. Amidst a sense of loss, he felt incredibly fortunate. He held onto his wife and child's hands and said, "Thank you for your hard work! Hold on a little longer. You take Xiaoqi and evacuate first."
Wang Xiaotao nodded slightly. In the army, military orders are above everything else. He is not only a husband, but also a superior!
