Chapter 459 [Yu Man] This family is all the people he loves
Go home and spend the winter vacation.
Qin Jiahuai had never looked forward to the New Year so much.
Because my parents agreed to come back this year.
Their family can finally be reunited.
But you have to wait until Laba Festival.
Mom is back, but Dad is missing.
Qin Jiahuai can find the latest news from foreign countries.
The country where my father is now has experienced a cholera outbreak in April last year and has now reached its second peak, with more than 10,000 new cases in a single week. My father, as a senior doctor, was urgently dispatched there.
Moreover, that country is still in the midst of a civil war. The airport has been bombed, civil aviation has been completely suspended, and the land routes are controlled by rebel armed forces. Even phone calls cannot be made.
If I wanted to contact home, I could only find a satellite phone.
Now the mother and son no longer look forward to his return for the New Year, they just hope that he is alive and well!
They kept waiting for news.
Jiang Yuman had hardly dared to close her eyes these days. If she couldn't hold on to sleep for a while, she would hold her cell phone tightly, fearing that she would miss any news.
New Year's Eve, midnight.
Jiang Yuman's phone suddenly lit up.
A video call request pops up.
It is the official communication ID of Doctors Without Borders!
"Xiao Huai, your dad called!"
Jiang Yuman shouted excitedly, and the mother and son immediately went to the living room to answer the phone.
Jiang Yuman's heart was beating fast as he looked at the constantly flashing screen, and finally the picture popped out!
The background is a simple and dilapidated earthen wall, the light is dim, the signal is not good, and the picture is shaky.
Qin Mingzhang opposite had lost a lot of weight, and his eye sockets were sunken, but his eyes were still bright, and he didn't look injured at all.
He opened his mouth, his voice immediately filled with tears: "Yuman, Xiaohuai, I'm sorry, I had already planned to leave, but the airport here was bombed. I called you today to coordinate military equipment..."
Jiang Yuman's voice choked with sobs: "What's there to be sorry about? This is not your fault, husband, I..."
Before she could finish her question, the screen began to shake violently!
Qin Mingzhang wanted to speak anxiously: "...I am safe...you...take care...love..."
His image was distorted and broken, and his voice was intermittent, leaving only a harsh electrical noise.
The screen suddenly went black.
The room suddenly became quiet.
The mother and son looked at the dark screen and didn't speak for a while.
After a long time, the sound of fireworks exploding began to be heard outside.
Jiang Yuman didn't know whether her husband was huddled in the ruins of a dilapidated building thousands of miles away, listening to the sound of artillery fire in the distance?
Thinking of her son still being by her side, she forced a smile and said, "Xiao Huai, don't blame your father."
"Your father is doing all this to pursue his own self-worth, but in fact, he is also paving the way for you to a certain extent. He is a diplomatic soft power, which will be beneficial to your future entry into politics."
"After returning to China, he will definitely work at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. He will then provide feedback on his experience with infectious diseases to the country, benefiting both the country and the people..."
Qin Jiahuai felt depressed and uncomfortable.
Benefit children, benefit the country, and benefit the world.
The only disadvantage is his wife.
He thought about what Chu Yao in the future had told him at the beginning. After his father died, his mother had another love, so he began to hate her...
How could he not know how difficult it is to feel sorry for his mother?
His parents are already very good.
When he was a minor, he was given a complete and loving family, and he was never allowed to suffer any hardship. He was taught the ways of the world, but without forcing him to be worldly-wise.
Everything we do now is still paving the way for him.
Why didn't that version of him know how to be considerate of his mother?
He is grown up now and shouldn't ask his mother to take care of his emotions anymore.
"Mom, I'm fine." He spoke with a calmness rare for his age. "The most important thing for us now is to find a way to contact Dad... I'll go check the real-time battle situation over there."
Jiang Yuman nodded. She also had friends from all over the world on her phone, so she sent a message to her Moments asking if anyone knew the situation of the war over there.
Just a few minutes after sending it out, Qin Mingcong called.
As soon as the call was connected, the man's soothing voice came: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I have already contacted the people over there. I will go there tonight and make sure to send my brother to a safe place."
Jiang Yuman immediately said, "No, if I have to go, I'll go alone!"
"Sister-in-law, please stop causing trouble. The vaccine you have is about to be released. Do you know how much you are worth now? Believe it or not, you will be kidnapped as soon as you land there. By then, I will have to save you! It's settled. I'm hanging up."
He hung up the phone without giving her a chance to retort.
Jiang Yuman called again, but no one answered!
-
Five days later.
The mother and son received a video call from Qin Mingzhang.
The two brothers in the picture are fine, and the background has been changed to a bright and clean room, not the dilapidated earthen house before.
Jiang Yuman was so excited that his eyes were blurred and he couldn't speak.
Qin Jiahuai was surprised: "Uncle, how did you get through? My mother and I even contacted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but we couldn't get through..."
Qin Mingcong was very proud. "How can the people from the regular routes be as useful as my friends from all walks of life? I flew to the neighboring country first, then came here overland. There were rebels, guerrillas, regular soldiers... I used my connections along the way, my money, and my brother is a doctor and is really respected. They all took turns to escort us out. We didn't lose a single hair."
Qin Jiahuai could imagine how difficult it was behind his casual words.
His eyes slowly turned red: "Thank you, uncle."
Qin Mingcong said with disgust: "Eh... corny, you are like a puppy wagging its tail at me crazily."
"..." Qin Jiahuai instantly stopped being so hypocritical, "Uncle, if you get chased when you come back, go hide in the mosque. They won't harm pigs there."
"You little brat! How dare you talk to your elders like that!" Qin Mingcong handed the phone to his brother, "Here, I'll use my own phone to scold him!"
They both knew that the couple had a lot to talk about.
So they went somewhere else to curse each other.
Qin Mingzhang looked across at his lover whom he hadn't seen for a long time. He had a lot to say, but in the end, he could only say three words: "I'm sorry..."
Jiang Yuman smiled and asked, "When will you be back?"
Qin Mingzhang was filled with guilt: "The epidemic here is very serious, I still can't..."
Jiang Yuman was disappointed for a moment, then kept smiling: "It's okay, then don't bother. Xiao Huai will start school in a few days, and I have to go back too."
-
So in the end the family was not able to reunite.
Qin Mingcong was quarantined for a few days after returning.
He was only released on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month and returned to the group to handle work.
Chu Yao has been doing social practice with him for the entire winter vacation. Today is the last day, so she came to ask HR to sign and stamp.
After the HR signed the document, he told her, "The president asked you to go see him before you leave."
So Chu Yao went upstairs.
As I got off the elevator, I saw my personal doctor coming out with a medicine box. There was also a smell of blood...
She suddenly remembered that Qin Jiahuai had told her a few days ago that they were able to contact their father thanks to his uncle, and that they were all safe and sound.
Now it seems that he was injured over there, and it was quite serious, but he just didn't tell his family.
She hesitated outside for a few seconds, knocked on the office door, and went in to ask him.
"Uncle Qin, do you have something to talk to me about?"
