Just when people were needed, Su Yan volunteered. How could the superiors not agree? They let her set off with the second batch of officers, soldiers and medical staff.
Su Yan hurried back to pack up, not knowing when she would be back, so she sent her four children out and left a lot of preserved meats at home. She left several cured chickens, ducks, and rabbits, a large bag of cured fish, dried vegetables, and dried seafood, and two hundred eggs.
There were several pounds of radish, beans, eggplant, bitter melon, and peppers, as well as a winter melon and two old pumpkins. As for the fruits, they only had a basket of Fengshui pears and a basket of grapes. There were also ten big watermelons in their room and a field of cantaloupes.
Whether they go to their grandparents' house for dinner or not, it's always good to prepare some food at home. However, Su Yan still wants the children to have dinner at their grandma's house.
No matter what, we have to make preparations for both situations. We have to prepare delicious food at home and send some to my mother-in-law. If they don’t want to cook, they can go to their grandmother’s house to eat. Lu Yiming doesn’t have to go to school and can stay at home to take care of his younger siblings.
After the family's food supply was arranged, Su Yan sent another 100 kilograms of food to her mother-in-law, including three live chickens, three live ducks, and three live rabbits, three large grass carps, a large bucket of crucian carp, and a few pieces of various cured meats. The only fruits she gave were watermelons and cantaloupes.
Seeing Su Yan pulling so many things over on a cart, Hua Min asked, "Yan Yan, where did you buy so much food at once?"
"Mom, let's talk about this later. The organization has agreed to let me go to the disaster area with you. I'll leave early tomorrow morning. I don't know when I'll be back, so please help take care of the children. I left some food at home and will send some over to you. I told the children to come over for dinner when they have time and go back to sleep at night."
"I'm their grandmother. Even if you don't send these foods over, will I still be short of food for them? Don't worry, just ask them to come over for meals during the day. If it's convenient for me, I can go over and sleep with Rourou every night. There always has to be an adult at home."
Chen Yuhe's mother sometimes comes to help her take care of the children during the day. Zhong Lingshan's little girl is almost one year old, and He Na's little girl is only two months old.
If her mother-in-law is free, she can indeed go to her house and help her look after the children. In the hot summer, Su Yan is worried that they will go swimming in the river.
"Mom, although my son Yiming is tall and can swim, the three little ones can't. Please help me persuade them every day and never let them go swimming in the river."
One or two people drown in the river near the military area every year. It's really weird. Even in such a weird river, there are still people who are not afraid of death and go into the water every year.
"Okay, I'll watch them. An'an and the others are watching TV at home and they shouldn't wander around. Yiming is older and definitely won't wander around. So, where did they go?"
"Yiming took his younger brother and sister to the farm store."
Su Yan explained everything she needed to say. After unloading the grain, she returned the cart, then went home to prepare delicious food for the children and waited for them to come back.
She had just finished cooking when Lu Yiming came back on his broken bicycle, bringing his younger brother and sister back with him.
"Hurry up and wash your hands, we're going to eat."
Lu Yining looked at the table full of dishes and swallowed subconsciously, "Mom, whose birthday is today? Why did you make so many delicious dishes?"
"It's no one's birthday. Your father went to the disaster area to do disaster relief. I also applied to be a volunteer. The hospital agreed. I will leave tomorrow morning."
"Mom, now that you're all gone, there are only four of us left at home. How are we supposed to survive?"
Su Yan looked at Lu Yiming, "Yiming, you are the eldest in this family. Mom will leave this family to you to take care of. Before I left, I left a lot of food for you and also sent some to your grandmother's house.
If you're too lazy to cook, you can go to grandma's house to eat. If you have time, you can eat at home. I have ten watermelons, dozens of kilograms of melons, and a basket of pears in my bedroom. You can enjoy them at home."
Lu Yiming looked at Su Yan with a look of longing, "Mom, can you take me to be a volunteer?"
"Just take good care of your younger siblings at home. Don't let them wander around, and don't let them go to the river or the well. You'll be the one fetching water for the family.
I tell you, people die in that river every year, and the water ghosts in the river don’t know who to find as a scapegoat this year? If you rush to the river to swim, your father and I will break your legs when we get back.”
Lu Yiming had originally planned to go swimming with Brother Liangzi tomorrow, but when he heard her mother threatening them fiercely, he naturally didn't dare to refute.
The triplets swore that they would not go to the water because they could not swim. No one had died in the river this year, and they were afraid of being taken scapegoats by water ghosts.
"Mom, we triplets can just watch TV at home. There are so many delicious foods at home. Let's close the door and eat them slowly at home."
"By the way, you guys can't fight. If you do, you'll be sent away."
Su Yan is usually very gentle, but now the situation is urgent. If she doesn't threaten them, they won't feel nervous.
Su Yan told Lu Yiming that there were various bills and dozens of spare coins in the cabinet. He could take them out when needed and leave them there if not.
After scolding the child a few words, everyone started to eat. Huamin came over just as they finished their meal and had not yet cleaned up.
She repeated what Su Yan should have said, and said that she would come to the house during the day to ask the children to come over for dinner, and would come to accompany the children in the evening.
Lu Yiming also knew that his mother was worried, so he patted his chest and promised that he would keep an eye on his younger siblings and try not to wander around the house. The triplets also promised that they would be obedient and not wander around.
The next day, Su Yan got up early in the morning, packed her clothes, and prepared breakfast for the children. Before leaving, she repeatedly gave the children instructions and asked the neighbors next door to help look after them.
I carried my luggage to my mother-in-law's house, said a few words to her, and then went to the meeting point to wait.
For the sake of convenience, she only brought clothes and pants, and did not bring any skirts. In her luggage bag, there were three sets of clothes, a white coat, a set of toiletries, and two kilograms of candy to use to comfort the children.
In addition to the luggage bag, Su Yan also carried a cowhide medicine box, which contained a stethoscope, thermometer, medical scissors, gauze, iodine, Yunnan Baiyao...
Of course, her space stores a lot of Chinese medicinal materials, some Western medicines, as well as gauze, iodine, splints, etc. for treating external injuries.
In fact, these countries will prepare medical supplies. If possible, she plans to donate some. We'll see when we get there.
The reason why Su Yan wanted to be a volunteer was that she wanted to lend a hand and save as many people as possible. When she got to the scene, she would see if there was any chance to secretly send them some food or something.
She had signed a statement yesterday, but unexpectedly signed another one during the gathering. Su Yan didn't think much about it. She was just worried about Lu Ting going to the collapsed building, disregarding his own safety, and racing against time to save the victims.
She understood Lu Ting very well. In critical moments, he would sacrifice his own family for the sake of everyone else, even at the cost of his life. He was a soldier with a strong character, so she didn't try to stop him at first. Yesterday, they hadn't even exchanged many words before he hurried off.
Su Yan stood in the truck bed facing the wind, holding the handrail tightly with both hands, thinking about the devastated disaster area and how many people were waiting for them to rescue.
