Now the rescue is nearing its end, and except for a few doctors who have to stay, the rest of the doctors who came to support will be able to return to their posts soon.
The few of them did not set off immediately. It would be dangerous to travel overnight in such heavy rain, so they planned to rest for a night before continuing.
Liu Ankang cooked a large pot of brown sugar ginger soup, and each soldier drank two large bowls to ward off the cold.
Everyone smacked their lips in satisfaction while drinking the sugared ginger soup. It was just different with sugar added, it was so delicious.
This time, Lao Liu brought out a total of nine people and two cars, all of whom were his confidants.
At night, they were assigned a large tent and a small tent. The small tent was naturally reserved for Liu Ankang and the other two.
Now that I'm here, I can't waste this afternoon.
Liu Ankang pulled Lao Liu into the small tent to talk, while Song Jinxiu prepared food in the big tent.
She prepared to take out some flatbreads, cook a big pot of porridge and some side dishes.
The pancakes and side dishes are ready, so you only need to cook a big pot of porridge.
The cake is a bit similar to the sachet, and the size and taste are similar. Song Jinxiu estimated that four cakes should be enough for one person.
I took a total of fifty pancakes, two thick stacks.
I couldn’t borrow a big pot, so I estimated I would need to cook two or three pots. So I took a bucket and poured the soup in after it was cooked.
Song Jinxiu thought it was too slow, so she directly used the stock in the space to fill the bucket.
Anyway, there is still a lot in my space, and I can cook it slowly when I get back.
When marching and fighting, everyone had to eat dry rations, so when the soldiers saw such a sumptuous dinner in the evening, their eyes lit up.
Song Jinxiu seemed to hear the sound of someone slurping saliva.
"Cough cough." Old Liu coughed.
This is not a military camp. Don't embarrass him in front of his son and daughter-in-law.
Everyone immediately calmed down.
Song Jinxiu smiled and called everyone: "Come over and have dinner."
Song Jinxiu helped her father-in-law and Liu Ankang serve porridge.
"What? Are you still waiting for someone to feed you?" As soon as Lao Liu said that, everyone hurried up to serve themselves porridge.
The main reason is that they don’t dare to take action until the boss gives the order.
Old Liu sat leisurely at the table. This was specially cooked for him by his daughter-in-law, and the other kids got some.
I glared at them and realized that they had finished eating such a tall cake.
Old Liu didn't bother to savor the food slowly. He quickly took a bite of the pancake and a mouthful of porridge, occasionally taking a couple of bites of pickles.
No wonder it’s made by my daughter-in-law, the pickles are so delicious.
In a short while, everything was swept away.
Fifty pancakes, a big bucket and a big pot of porridge.
Song Jinxiu was stunned, looking at them with expressions that seemed to be unsatisfied. Were they not full yet?
My God, do they have enough food to eat? No, can the army afford it?
“Actually, they don’t usually eat that much, it’s mainly because the pancakes and pickles you made are so delicious.
Even the porridge is delicious.” Lao Liu tried to save face for his subordinate’s shameful behavior.
"Yes, yes, yes."
"Actually, we usually only eat two bowls, no, one bowl."
"Yes, our troops are famous for eating less and working more."
The soldiers under Lao Liu responded one after another.
Song Jinxiu nodded: "Yes, I believe you."
Anyway, she only ate a piece of bread and a bowl of porridge.
An An seemed to have only eaten one piece of pancake. He knew that there would be a special meal in the evening, so he ate slowly.
After eating and drinking, Song Jinxiu didn't need to clean up the leftovers, as someone else would naturally do it.
After Song Jinxiu returned to her room, she asked Liu Ankang to bring another bag of dried meat to them to thank them for coming out to save her.
When working at a high intensity, even if you eat a lot, it is easy to get hungry without some oil and water.
They didn't doubt it and thought Liu Ankang had his own way, but they were embarrassed to accept the meat.
In the end, it was only Lao Liu who gave the order and everyone put it away.
Liu Ankang gave another packet to Lao Liu.
What was given to Lao Liu was meat jerky strips, which were not as hard as dried meat and were easier to digest.
The two of them secretly cooked a small meal in the tent, and only went to bed contentedly after eating and drinking their fill.
"Have you told Dad about the cave?" Song Jinxiu asked.
"He said it's not convenient now. He will go back and report it first and see what the higher-ups say," said Liu Ankang.
"Oh." It's not something I should care about anyway.
"How long will it take you to go home?" Song Jinxiu asked.
"I'm not sure, but it shouldn't take long. You see, the medical staff here aren't as busy as before, which means the rescue is nearing its end.
We came here to provide support, and we will naturally return after we are done with our work," said Liu Ankang.
"Then I'll leave you some dried meat and flatbread tomorrow. You can have a bite when you're hungry.
You can also send some to your roommates. We are really grateful to them for this." Song Jinxiu said.
"Okay, go to sleep, I'll be back soon." Liu Ankang said.
He was reluctant to let Song Jinxiu go back, but he was even more reluctant to let her suffer here.
The next day, Lao Liu, his troops and the reluctant Song Jinxiu set out on their journey home.
The road was very bumpy and difficult to walk on at the beginning, but the road conditions gradually improved after we left Hebei Province.
At noon, the group ate something in the car and continued on their journey.
Song Jinxiu was so shocked that she felt uncomfortable and didn't eat anything.
The group didn't return to the Xia family until the afternoon. After putting Song Jinxiu down, Old Liu didn't even have time to drink a sip of water before he had to report to the military headquarters.
"Why do you look so bad? Sit down and rest for a while." Mother Xia looked at Song Jinxiu worriedly.
"It's okay, it's just a little bumpy on the road. It will be fine after a while." Song Jinxiu lay in the chair to rest.
"Forget it, I'd better go take a shower first. It will be troublesome if the two little ones wake up and ask me to hold them.
I'm all dirty now." Song Jinxiu dragged her tired body into the bathroom.
Washed myself from head to toe.
"It's so comfortable." Song Jinxiu felt a lot more energetic.
The two little guys stared at her curiously.
"Little Tail, mommy is back, Little Meatball, auntie is back." Song Jinxiu opened her arms happily to them.
The imagined scene of running over did not appear, and Little Tail and Little Meatball were still playing with toys there.
Little Meatball even looked up and took the time to call her aunt.
Little Tail continued to play with his toys.
"Children have short memories. You've been away from home for too long and I've become unfamiliar with you. It will be fine tomorrow." Mother Xia patted her shoulder and comforted her.
"Oh." I knew it, but I was still very sad.
Song Jinxiu went over to play with the toys with Little Weiba. Little Weiba did not refuse, nor did he show much enthusiasm.
Sometimes he would also teach Song Jinxiu how to play.
At night, Song Jinxiu invited Xiaoweiba to sleep with her, but Xiaoweiba still chose Xia's mother.
This made Song Jinxiu very disappointed. It had only been a short time since they last met. How could she have forgotten about him?
