"My uncle is here too?"
This was something I hadn't thought of.
She wasn't surprised that the garrison would come, but she was still quite surprised that Cheng Jin would come in person.
"There must be quite a few places like this, right? How come you all managed to come here together?"
"No, my uncle's original task was to stay in the camp and oversee operations, and then coordinate personnel deployment and resource allocation."
As a result, Uncle Lin's old ailment relapsed, and he had difficulty even lifting his leg. The military doctor refused to let him move.
And so, it was my uncle who came out.
Our tasks are not here. My uncle is going to the commune to discuss the follow-up with Secretary Lin.
I just came to see you for a moment and will be leaving soon. The snow covers a wide area, not just this commune or county, but almost half of the province. From here northwards, the situation is almost the same.
However, Xiao Wu is leading a team to help with the reconstruction, and he'll be here for a while. If you need anything, just go find him.
Lin Dongfang hadn't expected things to turn out this way, so he quickly asked...
Is it serious?
These people were all veterans of war, and each of them had some old wounds, which could be quite troublesome if they flared up.
Cheng Chao thought of Lin Zhengde's unwilling look and almost laughed.
"He kept saying he was fine and even insisted on coming out, but with the military doctor keeping him in check, this was no joke. Because of this, he was able to patiently rest and recover."
"Once this is over and the road is cleared, you can go and see him. You can also try to persuade him; he's always complaining about this and that, but he doesn't take it seriously, and he won't listen to anything we say."
After exchanging a few words and seeing that the danger had passed, Lin Dongfang and the male educated youth helped the villagers carry the wounded and clean up the scene. Jian Dan was about to go back to change his clothes when Cheng Chao went to the village entrance to meet up with Xiao Wu.
He had only taken a few steps when Liu Weimin came running up to him.
"Xiao Jian, that place in the cowshed, isn't there someone who can treat medicine?"
They both revealed quite a bit about themselves, without any pretense or concealment.
"Yes, you want him to treat the wounded?"
"Hey, that's right. Old Chen is fine with treating minor ailments like headaches and fevers, but he's not too keen on treating injuries like this."
That's simple and understandable, but...
"Even if they could help, they don't have any medicine. They're always under your watchful eyes, and you know exactly what they're doing. All they can do is gather firewood on the mountain. Aren't you making things difficult for them?"
She was covered in a foul stench of blood, and Jian Dan's tone wasn't very friendly. Liu Weimin was preoccupied with the matter and didn't notice Jian Dan's attitude.
"It's alright, it's alright, I'll go ask him. Old Chen has all the commonly used medicinal herbs."
The two children were nervously pacing around in the yard. When they saw the blood on Jian Dan's body, their faces turned pale with fright. Cheng Rui wanted to rush over but didn't dare. He checked her over several times before he felt relieved.
Watching Cheng hurriedly fill his stomach, Jian Dan suddenly remembered what he had just said.
"You're heading north?"
Cheng Chao knew their worries, and touched each child one by one.
"Don't worry, your mother is a doctor, and your father is a professional too, they'll definitely be fine."
The two children pursed their lips, naturally worried, but they also knew that while it wasn't an absolute emergency, things weren't much better.
"Big brother, can you bring them some things?"
Seeing their expectant eyes, Cheng Chao nodded, and then watched as the two children turned and left.
"If the snow stays this heavy all the way, how will you travel? By car? Or by train?"
Don't worry!
We're driving, and this car is tall.
Moreover, in some places it's windy, so the snow on the road isn't very thick, and it all drifts into the ditches by the roadside.
Besides, it's not that far.
We often travel outside to complete missions, so we have experience with these kinds of road conditions.
By the way, what are they taking? Are they planning to follow us?
With a simple sigh, she spoke of the dumplings frozen under the heavy snow outside.
“We stayed up half the night yesterday to make those, and we couldn’t persuade them to stop. If you can take them with you, please do so. They’re a token of the two children’s love.”
"Did they book it?"
"I'm just a tool for mixing the filling and making dumplings, an assistant. Everything else is thanks to the two of them. It's also fortunate that I changed the lids more this year and used all those big wicker baskets, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to freeze them."
I slept only half the night last night, and after a whole day of tossing and turning, I simply yawned.
“Let me tell you, they really miss their second uncle and aunt. When you go over there, you have to tell them that this is all made by their own son.”
"But wasn't it said that conditions on the border are worse than here? Are you sure everything's really alright over there, or are you just trying to comfort them?"
Cheng Chao sighed.
"That's what I'm worried about. It's probably because of the heavy snow. We can't get through on the phone there anymore, and the supply trucks that went there a few days ago haven't returned yet. We can't contact them now either. I really don't know what the situation is like there."
Jian Dan also gasped.
"Is it that serious? Then you'd better hurry up and stop wasting time here."
Two children carried in two cloth bags filled with grain. The bags were quite large, and each was more than half full, so they looked heavy.
Cheng Chao quickly got up to take it, wanting to ask something, but then, remembering his brief words, he swallowed them back.
"Okay, don't worry, your older brother will definitely deliver it to your parents."
The two children visibly breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other, and smiled.
"Brother, we saved some for you. We'll cook it for you now. Take it and eat it on your way."
