The driver said, "Political Commissar, my sister-in-law has brought over the steamed buns for everyone."
Political Commissar Zhou looked towards them, and after hearing what Xu Zhaodi said, his eyes brightened a little more, showing admiration and praise.
"Thanks for your hard work."
At this time Xu Zhaodi looked around, looking for the shadow she was looking for.
"It's not hard, compared to what you guys do, what I do is nothing."
Political Commissar Zhou saw that she was looking for Chen Jianguo, so he said to the driver, "Go pack 40 or 50 steamed buns and take your sister-in-law to find Battalion Commander Chen. They are in the direction of the granary."
"yes."
Li Wenhui said, "Political Commissar Zhou, I am Feng Daqiang's wife. May I ask if Feng Daqiang is also at the granary?"
"Yes, they are all over there, you can go together."
Li Wenhui nodded gratefully: "Thank you, Political Commissar Zhou."
The rain stopped and the flood began to recede. The driver took them around the river from a high place, and the road was covered with mud.
Xu Zhaodi's cloth shoes and calves were covered in mud.
The three of them arrived at the granary. Chen Jianguo and his men were exhausted. They had not eaten or drunk anything for more than 30 hours. Their lips were pale and cracked, and their eyes were bloodshot.
The granary was saved, but the flood from upstream was still rushing towards this side.
He led people to push carts and move the sandbags from the granary to the riverside.
A lot of land along the river has been washed away, and these sandbags can serve as a buffer.
When Xu Zhaodi saw Chen Jianguo, Chen Jianguo was exhausted. He was hunched over and half lying on a sandbag, gasping for breath.
Zhao Erdan and Zhang Xiwa sat directly in the mud and leaned on sandbags to rest.
Feng Daqiang and Li Wei did the same, sitting directly in the mud to rest.
There were so many people, all covered in mud. Xu Zhaodi recognized Chen Jianguo at a glance in the crowd.
Zhao Erdan was in a daze and saw Xu Zhaodi standing not far away, looking at their battalion commander with moist eyes.
In panic, he raised his sore and limp hands and patted the legs of Chen Jianguo, who was half-lying beside him.
"Boss, sister-in-law..."
Chen Jianguo was really tired. He had been working very hard since yesterday and just wanted his soldiers to do less work.
He discovered that no matter how capable he was, one person's strength was not enough.
Chen Jianguo didn't hear clearly, and said, "What did you say?"
"sister in law……"
Zhao Erdan pointed behind Chen Jianguo. When Chen Jianguo looked up, he saw Xu Zhaodi standing not far away.
I don’t know if it’s because of his eyes, but I always feel that the person in front of me is thin and small.
He grinned, revealing two rows of neat, white teeth.
Chen Jianguo panicked and raised his hand to wipe his face, but when he saw the mud on his body, he seemed to think it was unnecessary.
His heart was pounding as he walked towards Xu Zhaodi.
"Why are you here? Go away quickly."
Although he was obviously happy in his heart, his tone was a little embarrassing when he said this.
Xu Zhaodi felt distressed and couldn't help but tears in her eyes.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Chen Jianguo felt a little panicked.
"Speak."
"I'm afraid you'll starve, so I'm bringing you some food."
It's so dangerous here, she shouldn't come.
She held two snow-white steamed buns in her hand. Chen Jianguo grinned and whispered, "Spendthrift woman, you're spending money again."
Xu Zhaodi: ...
Before coming, she had imagined what he would look like while working, and also imagined what he would look like seeing her.
He never thought that he would meet a spendthrift woman like himself.
Good intentions but bad lungs.
"Then don't eat it."
"You bring me some rice, why shouldn't I eat it?"
Xu Zhaodi pursed her lips and glanced at him.
"Good intentions are not rewarded. I am just worried that you will be hungry."
Chen Jianguo knew that she was not really angry, so he said softly, "It's too dangerous here, you shouldn't come."
Xu Zhaodi was silent for a while. Seeing that everyone else had started eating the steamed buns, she handed two steamed buns to Chen Jianguo again.
"Wash your hands and eat something to fill your stomach."
Chen Jianguo reached out to take the white and yellow steamed bun and took a bite of half of it.
He muttered, "It's dirty, but you won't get sick if you eat it."
He ate the steamed bun in two bites. When he took the second bite, a dirty little girl beside him stared at the bun in Chen Jianguo's hand with a pair of pitiful eyes.
Chen Jianguo handed the steamed bun to the little girl without hesitation. The little girl took the bun, said "Thank you, uncle" and ran away.
Xu Zhaodi looked at the driver's hands and saw that all the steamed buns had been snatched away.
Chen Jianguo scratched his muddy short hair and said with a smile: "The steamed buns you make are still delicious and sweet."
Xu Zhaodi looked up at the man who was much taller than her, her eyes red.
He is a person who is just stubborn and stubborn.
She reached out and wiped the mud off his face with her sleeve, and Chen Jianguo smiled foolishly.
Not far away, military reporters captured this scene.
"When you get home, I'll cook you a table full of delicious dishes, four meat dishes and four vegetable dishes, okay?"
"Wouldn't eight dishes be too much? It would be a waste if we couldn't finish them."
Xu Zhaodi burst out laughing, and the mud on his face had been wiped clean.
Zhao Erdan and Zhang Xiwa watched this scene with great envy.
Zhang Xiwa nudged Zhao Erdan with his elbow and said, "I feel that our eldest brother and sister-in-law are becoming more and more compatible. They used to say that sister-in-law is a bad person, but I have discovered that sister-in-law is really wise, good-looking, and gentle. Look at our eldest brother, his soul has been seduced away since sister-in-law came.
When I marry a wife in the future, I want to marry someone who looks just like my sister-in-law."
Zhao Erdan said disdainfully: "Our boss is about 1.9 meters tall, do you have a height like him?
You are just like an underdeveloped quail, your height is only 1.7 meters at most, you have no education, no looks, you are not good at anything, you eat everything you want, no good girl would be interested in you."
Zhang Xiwa was stunned.
Damn, is this kid's mouth filled with gunpowder today?
"You're exaggerating. You're not much taller than me."
Zhao Erdan retorted: "I'm only seventeen. I'm still growing and developing."
"I'm only eighteen. If you grow, why don't I grow too?"
The two men were arguing with each other, and Li Wei, who was standing by, slapped them on the head.
“Stop making so much noise, if you’re not tired then go to work, didn’t you look in the mirror?
Didn't anyone tell you that you two were children?"
The friendship between these two people can be broken up at any time, but they will be reconciled in just a few minutes.
After eating a steamed bun, Chen Jianguo felt full and his appetite was aroused.
Xu Zhaodi asked, "When can you come?"
"Probably tomorrow."
"Then be careful."
"Okay, don't come this afternoon. Stay at home and don't go anywhere."
There had been several days of heavy rain, with landslides here and there. Half of the houses in the town had collapsed this time. They would probably have to come and help repair their houses later.
"Got it. I'll wait for you at home."
Xu Zhaodi nodded.
Li Wenhui went to find Feng Daqiang and watched him eat two steamed buns with her own eyes before she felt relieved.
Feng Daqiang asked: "Does the child miss me?"
"Yes, please be careful when you are busy."
Feng Daqiang smiled. He was satisfied that Li Wenhui could come to see him.
