Chapter 373 Who is your teacher?

He Tingyue hurried back and brought the news.

"Director Zheng agreed and sent me a car, but we have to leave the main force and act on our own."

He held a document in his hand, which was a certificate issued by the factory, enough for them to have a smooth journey.

There was also a document of Chen Yu's demotion. The place he was going to was also in Henan Province, but unlike the location of the disaster area, this place was close to the north city and was at the junction.

"If we set out now, we can arrive in the evening, right?" Jiang Yu asked.

He Tingyue hummed, "You may have to work hard these days."

It must not be comfortable to travel all the way with a bumpy ride.

Jiang Yu smiled, "We are going to rescue the disaster, not to have fun, so of course it will be hard."

Soon, the two set out on the road to Henan Province.

"You should get some sleep first."

The two of them had hardly had any rest since midnight last night.

He Tingyue was used to staying up late, and it was common for him to go without sleep for two or three days.

But Jiang Yu was different. She was sleepy a long time ago, and she was relying on her willpower to hold on.

The car was bumpy, and Jiang Yu fell asleep unknowingly.

When they arrived at the destination, He Tingyue called her to wake up, but she was still dazed as if she was dreaming.

"Are we there yet?"

"We are."

But it was pitch black all around, and Jiang Yu couldn't see anything.

"Wife, wait for me in the car. I'll go down and ask who the local captain is."

"Okay."

He Tingyue left her a flashlight, so it wasn't too dark in the car.

But Jiang Yu still felt a little scared and hoped that He Tingyue would come back soon.

Jiang Yu glanced at the car window casually, and this glance was incredible. She actually saw a face.

Under the light of the flashlight, the outline was vague, giving off a gloomy feeling.

Jiang Yu screamed and almost lost the flashlight.

The person outside said quickly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I just saw someone inside and came to take a look!"

Hearing the voice from outside, Jiang Yu was still terrified, and seemed to hear his own heartbeat in his ears.

"Who are you?"

"I'm from Tong'an Village... No, I should ask you this question, who are you? Did you drive this car here?"

Jiang Yu heard the words "Tong'an Village" and quickly opened the car door and got out.

The flashlight swept over and saw a girl with a pigtail.

"You are from Tongan Village, then do you know a comrade named Chen Yu? He was sent down to your village a few years ago."

The girl was stunned, "Sent down?" The

only person who could be described with these two words was probably the people living in the dilapidated house.

"There is a man named Chen, but no one in our village likes to associate with him."

For fear of being involved in gossip, everyone basically avoided him.

At this time, He Tingyue came back.

"Wife!"

Jiang Yu hurried over, "Ask about it?"

He Tingyue nodded, and turned to see the person standing aside.

"Who is she?"

The girl immediately said, "My name is Chuncao. If you want to find old man Chen, I can show you the way, but I won't take you there."

Jiang Yu said, "We have to find the captain of your village first."

Chen Yu's identity is sensitive, and they can't just take him away, they have to talk to the local captain first.

Chuncao heard this and said she would take them home. Jiang Yu then realized that her father was the team leader.

On the way to Chuncao's house, Jiang Yu asked, "Why are you wandering around alone at night?"

Chuncao said, "I'm catching frogs in the field." She

didn't catch any frogs, but heard the sound of a car.

She was startled by the rumble and ran up to see that there was a car in the empty place.

Jiang Yu also knew what happened afterwards.

"Dad!"

At this point, everyone in Chuncao's house was asleep and the house was quiet.

Chuncao shouted and a kerosene lamp was lit in the house.

Soon, the team leader came out.

"What time is it? You just came back!"

Chuncao pointed at He Tingyue and Jiang Yu, "They are here to look for old man Chen. They drove over in a car."

The captain squinted his eyes and looked He Tingyue and Jiang Yu up and down. They

were well dressed, but they looked unfamiliar. They were not locals.

"Let's talk inside."

He came into the house with a kerosene lamp and asked Chuncao to boil water and make tea.

He Tingyue hurriedly said, "Don't be polite. We are rushing to the flood-stricken area in southern Henan to help with disaster relief. We will leave after we finish talking."

The captain was stunned and said in surprise, "You are going to the disaster area? Everyone else is avoiding that place. What are you going to do there?"

He Tingyue took out his work certificate and pushed it over to explain his purpose.

The captain took out a magnifying glass and stared at the stamp.

The certificates are all real, and they drove over in a car, so it must be true.

"Comrades, I can let you take old man Chen away, but you have to write a certificate and leave contact information. Otherwise, if he gets lost, I won't be able to report it to the higher-ups."

He Tingyue agreed immediately. The captain asked Chuncao to bring out a pen and paper, wrote him a certificate, and left his address.

Then, the captain led them to find Chen Yu.

At this point, there was no light in Chen Yu's shabby house.

After knocking on the door for a long time, there was no movement.

Jiang Yu had never seen Chen Yu, so naturally he didn't know what he looked like before. He only knew that he was now unshaven, with hair over his shoulders, and a sullen look.

"Engineer Chen."

Chen Yu's eyebrows moved, because the flashlight was too dazzling, making him squint uncomfortably.

He turned his back and said in a rough voice: "I am no longer Engineer Chen."

Jiang Yu said: "We are employees of Beicheng National Cotton Mill. We should have been on the way to the disaster area at this time, but someone recommended you to me. We specially applied to the factory and detoured here, asking you to help the people in the disaster area."

Chen Yu sneered coldly, "I am not a god, I can't bring the dead back to life, you think too highly of me."

He Tingyue: "You are not a god, but you know how many people are trapped in high places because of this flood, and food and water cannot be delivered. They are all old, weak, women and children. They will starve to death or freeze to death in a few days."

"What does that have to do with me! Was this caused by me? What does it have to do with me!"

Chen Yu's eyes were red with anger, and he asked in his throat.

Jiang Yu whispered, "Of course it has nothing to do with you, but the teacher said that you participated in the construction of dozens of reservoirs in southern Henan, and no one knows more about the floods in southern Henan than you. How to drain the floods and how to rescue those people, only you know how to do it!"

Chen Yu sneered, "It is because I know that I have ended up like this today!"

His wife and children left him, and his family was broken.

His parents were ashamed of him, and his relatives avoided him.

He hated himself countless times, why did he need to know these things!

What's the point of studying? What's the point of studying!

"Mr. Chen, I didn't know you before. My teacher told me that you are a far-sighted talent and tried hard to persuade me to come to you. She trusts you."

"Many years ago, you had foresight and focused on storage. Emphasizing storage over drainage can easily cause disasters. You must have a way to drain this flood!"

Mr. Chen squinted at her, "Who is your teacher?"

Jiang Yu took out the pen in his pocket and said seriously, "Ms. Ma Fuhua, her husband is Mr. Qin Kangyi, you should know him."

Chen Yu's pupils shrank, snatched the pen from her hand, tears welled up in his eyes, and stroked the engraving on it.

"Is my senior sister... is she okay?"

That year, he and Qin Kangyi were targeted and sent to other places.

There were only orphans and widows at home, and I think life was not easy.

Jiang Yu said softly: "The teacher has suffered a lot just like you."

Chen Yu sighed and wiped away his tears.

"You wait here for me. After I wash up, I will go to southern Henan with you."
