Chapter 378 Thank you, Mom

It's getting dark.

After a whole day of emergency rescue, the disaster situation on the island was initially under control.

Also taking place is mass transfer.

The small playground in front of the school certainly couldn't accommodate so many people.

Under the unified coordination of the military, all the disaster-stricken people were moved partly to the training ground in the military camp and partly to the open fields.

Existing supplies should be tilted towards the injured as much as possible.

The green tents became temporary wards.

More people were given cold mats, which were brought from the dormitory by the soldiers at the risk of their lives.

The cold mat was spread on the ground, and the family huddled together.

The harsh conditions are nothing. Being alive at this moment is a blessing.

Jiang Rou brought Zhou Xiaochuan and Zhou Xiaohua, and together with Song Qingqian, assisted Yang Zhenzhen in moving all the children to the training ground in the military camp.

The children finally saw their parents, stumbled and cried, and rushed into their parents' arms.

Jiang Rou finally met Lin Yulan and Zhao Guifen again.

Lin Yulan looked very bad, her gentle face turned pale, and her bulging belly made it seem as if she would faint at any moment.

This whole day was a thrilling day for Jiang Rou.

The same is true for Lin Yulan.

She also has more burdens than most people.

Even with a big belly, she was still busy going in and out.

All the people in the compound were transferred under her organization.

"Sister Yulan, are you okay? Do you want to go see Doctor Pei?"

Jiang Rou was really worried and asked with concern.

She knew how much Lin Yulan valued this child. If something happened...

Lin Yulan was very tired, but her eyes were still bright and she looked quite energetic.

She gently stroked her belly with her palm and shook her head towards Jiang Rou.

"I'm fine. I can handle it. Doctor Pei has more important things to do right now. I can take care of myself."

When talking.

Lin Yulan frowned.

She started having fetal movements a month ago.

The baby in my belly is a lively person, and the fetal movements have become more and more frequent since then.

now.

Not only was she experiencing fetal movement, but she was also experiencing bouts of cramping.

pain……

Lin Yulan took a deep breath and held it in.

The look she gave Jiang Rou was still complicated, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

The name "Lin Yuyao" was tacitly avoided by both of them.

Let's sit down and have a good talk after the current chaos is over.

Lin Yulan said with concern.

"Where are Xiaohua and Xiaochuan? How are they? Are they feeling better?"

"They are there."

Jiang Rou pointed in a direction.

Not far from them, on a small mat, Zhou Xiaohua and Zhou Xiaochuan were curled up together and sleeping.

The two little kids are like two little dumplings.

He was covered with a dark green military blanket.

Lin Yulan glanced at it for a few seconds and sighed.

"I'm sleeping... It's good to be asleep... When I'm asleep, I don't have to think about anything..."

Talking.

There was a faint sound of sobbing coming from the side.

Jiang Rou looked up.

Zhao Guifen, who had always been full of vigor, now had red eyes and tears as big as beans fell down, and she couldn't stop them.

Zhao Guifen noticed Jiang Rou and Lin Yulan's gazes and sniffed hard.

"It's okay... I'm fine... You guys continue talking, I won't disturb you..."

Having said that.

But Zhao Guifen couldn't stop crying.

She kept wiping her face with her sleeve.

I tried hard to adjust my mood, but in the end it was still a mess and I burst into tears.

"Dead... How could Juanzi die... How could she die... I was talking to her this morning... Her child... The child was just one month old... How could she die..."

Before the most serious earthquake in the afternoon, Zhao Guifen and Lin Yulan went to the compound together.

Zhao Guifen yelled at the top of his voice, calling out many people inside and outside.

The houses in the military compound were newly built after the troops arrived on the island.

It is made of bricks and is of better quality than the houses in the village.

Throughout the compound, there were many houses with cracked walls, but only two houses had completely collapsed.

Among those two houses, one household could not be rescued.

The military wife in the house was called Juanzi, a young woman who had been married for less than two years.

She just gave birth to a big fat boy a month ago, and they are living a happy life.

Because she had to take care of the baby, Juanzi heard Zhao Guifen's cry but couldn't come out quickly.

"The house was right in front of me...it collapsed right in front of me...I saw Juanzi...I saw her holding the child...she was about to come out...but the house collapsed...why couldn't we wait...wait for her to come out..."

"Juanzi fell down holding the child... She was covered in an instant... I couldn't see her anymore..."

"Then they came... I called them over to rescue Juanzi... They just kept digging... kept digging..."

Zhao Guifen stayed where he was and refused to leave until he saw Juanzi being dug out.

But Juanzi had been buried for too long and was no longer alive.

Only the child in her arms was strictly protected by her body, without even a bump.

Zhao Guifen witnessed the scene with her own eyes, and the psychological blow he suffered can be imagined.

As soon as she heard Jiang Rou mention the child and then saw Zhou Xiaohua and Zhou Xiaochuan, she couldn't stop crying.

Amid Zhao Guifen's sobbing, neither Jiang Rou nor Lin Yulan said a word.

The atmosphere of sadness spread silently and became the eternal theme of this night.

After a while.

Jiang Rou returned to the two children.

Her hands were covered with mercurochrome, iodine, cotton swabs, and gauze.

After a busy whole day, I finally had time to treat Zhou Xiaochuan's injuries.

Jiang Rou opened the quilt and gently took Zhou Xiaochuan's hand out.

The small palms were covered with scars, all of which were caused by the rocks on the beach.

Jiang Rou first used iodine to disinfect the wound.

As soon as the cotton swab dipped in iodine touched Zhou Xiaochuan's fingers, he immediately opened his eyes.

The dark pupils stared straight at Jiang Rou.

"Xiaochuan, does it hurt too much?" Jiang Rou asked softly, "Just bear with it. Only after disinfection and application of medicine can it heal quickly."

She held Zhou Xiaochuan's hand, tried to be as gentle as possible, and applied the medicine bit by bit.

While applying the medicine, blow gently on the wound.

In the entire training ground, there was only a faint light and the moonlight in the sky, casting a faint light and shadow.

Jiang Rou lowered her head and moved closer, trying to see the tiny wound clearly.

"Be patient, Xiaochuan is very brave, we are not afraid of pain, we will be fine soon..."

The gentle words, like a soothing breath, lingered in Zhou Xiaochuan's heart over and over again.

He watched Jiang Rou apply medicine to him, wrapping the gauze around his palm in circles.

At the same time, he also saw the same wound on Jiang Rou's palm.

That was the seaside, the injury was on the rocks.

Zhou Xiaochuan's eyes darkened silently.

"alright."

Jiang Rou treated the wounds on Zhou Xiaochuan's hands and put them back into the quilt.

Just about to let go.

The little hand wrapped in gauze tightly grasped Jiang Rou's fingers.

Zhou Xiaochuan looked at Jiang Rou and moved his thin lips, "Thank you, Mom."
