Chapter 218: In the face of danger, it is our duty
The military and the political parties held an emergency meeting.
The location is still in the office building of the 52nd Division.
After explaining the general situation, Yin Hongqi asked directly: "What do you think about Comrade Xiao Su wanting to go to the disaster area? Everyone is welcome to speak freely."
After Yin Hongqi finished speaking, he signaled everyone to speak.
Everyone present looked at each other and fell into deep thought. After a few minutes, someone spoke.
"Comrade Xiao Su is a weak woman after all. It's fine for her to go to Hucheng as a volunteer, but isn't it a bit embarrassing to ask her to go to the front line of flood prevention and rescue? Can she handle it?"
"The conditions in the disaster area are harsh, and it's hard to even get a bite of warm food. I don't support Comrade Xiao Su going there!"
"In times of crisis, which is more important, food and clothing, or life?"
"What if something happens to Comrade Xiao Su? This disaster area is in chaos! It's not like the capital city right now, where we can defend it with all our might!"
"Isn't it easy to solve the problem of food, drink and safety? Can't we bring more people and more supplies? If Comrade Xiao Su is not allowed to go to the front line, if Huo Lang really dies, will she be able to get over it?"
"If I don't agree with her suggestion, it would be even more difficult if she ran away by herself!"
"You just like to complain! We are military men, we shed blood and sweat but not tears, we charge into battle and are not afraid of death! Why think so much, just do it!"
"You have thick skin and tough flesh. Is Comrade Xiao Su the same as you?"
“…”
The opinions of the participants were half and half, just as Wang Zhengkai and Yin Hongqi had expected.
After all, this is a difficult decision.
Yin Hongqi concluded: "What everyone said makes sense."
"If we go, we can save the lives of many seriously injured soldiers, including Huo Lang. But the disaster area is complex and Comrade Xiao Su may have difficulty adapting. It may be too hard and he may even face danger."
"If we don't go, the warriors, including Holland, will be injured no matter how well they take precautions. Without the super antibiotics and other life-saving resources redeemed in the system mall, they will most likely die."
He raised his hand, motioning for everyone to remain quiet, and looked at Huo Jianguo and Huo Yan, father and son, who had rushed over overnight, and asked for their opinions.
"General Huo, Captain Huo, what do you two think?"
Huo Yan raised his eyes and looked at Huo Jianguo, who nodded to him solemnly.
The two had already had a preliminary discussion on the way here.
Under everyone's gaze, Huo Yan stood up and spoke calmly: "What we mean is that we should respect Comrade Su Lingyu's ideas and do our best to protect her safety. If she wants to go, then go!"
"Okay!" Yin Hongqi made a decision, "Let's go!"
Wang Zhengkai also laughed: "There is no point in looking ahead and behind. With so many of us, can't we protect Comrade Xiao Su? Just like last time, Huo Yan, you lead the troops in person to protect your lover!"
Huo Yan stood at attention and saluted: "Yes!"
…
That's how it was settled.
The meeting ended and everyone left one after another.
Wang Zhengkai and Yin Hongqi did not leave, but talked for a few more words, with some regrets in their hearts.
From a big picture perspective, natural disasters change rapidly and the situation is complex. Various on-site information cannot be covered by Su Lingyu's "predictive letter" at the time, and there are many unexpected situations.
If Su Lingyu went to the disaster area, with her as the "commander", at least the losses in the disaster area where she was could be minimized, which is of great significance.
The role she played in the disaster area may be much greater than people imagine.
The reason they didn't say anything was that they didn't want to put pressure on others.
On the way home, Huo Yan and Huo Jianguo were also talking.
"This time we go to the disaster area, the situation is more complicated than the last time we went to Lake City. You must protect your wife and bring her back safely!"
Huo Yan nodded seriously: "Yes."
"Huo Lang will join the flood rescue tomorrow. The situation is indeed dangerous. You should also take good care of him... It's okay if he gets injured, but don't let him lose his life."
Huo Yan nodded again: "Yes!"
…
It was late at night and everyone was asleep.
When Huo Yan returned home, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
Maybe it was because she worked too hard before going to bed, but Su Lingyu, who was sleeping soundly, didn't notice his departure. When he came back, she was still sleeping soundly.
After washing up, he went to bed quietly.
He put his arm around the woman's neck and gently held her in his arms. Her unique fragrance lingered in his nose. He closed his eyes but could not fall asleep for a long time.
After a long while, he lowered his head and kissed her forehead carefully.
The next day.
Su Lingyu woke up from her sleep, suffocated and having difficulty breathing.
The man's warm breath fell on her face and neck, and the light blue stubble on his chin pricked her skin, making her itchy.
Not enough last night, come early in the morning?
She snorted softly, opened her misty eyes, and shyly pushed the man's face away: "What is this? A wake-up call?"
"Yes." Huo Yan smiled softly, "Wake me up and provide more service."
Without waiting for her to say anything, he added, "There's still enough time. I'll be quick, too."
Su Lingyu: "..."
Even if this person is faster, it will still take at least half an hour, okay?
And faster means stronger force.
When Su Lingyu couldn't bear it anymore, she angrily kicked the man in front of her, and her hands were not idle either, as she hit him hard on the shoulders several times.
But soon, the surging waves engulfed her, making her already powerless moves even more limp.
The sun is rising and spring is fading.
Su Lingyu lay lazily on the bed. Huo Yan lowered his head and kissed her sweaty forehead. There was a gentle smile in his voice: "I'll carry you to wash up."
She bit her lip and hit him again.
…
Time was urgent, so the first thing Su Lingyu did when she got to work was to prepare suggestions to Dean Hao.
What she didn't know was that Dean Hao was on the phone with Wang Zheng, discussing organizing a volunteer team at the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine to provide support to the disaster area.
Wang Zheng made the call in order to inform Dean Hao and let him be mentally prepared.
Dean Hao patted his chest and said, "Since Comrade Xiao Su has this idea and wants to do her part for the disaster area, our Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine will definitely support and cooperate! She doesn't need to apply. I will call a meeting for everyone to sign up for those who want to go!"
"It doesn't have to be like this..." Wang Zhengkai disagreed, "If Comrade Xiao Su 'just happens' to be the one every time, it would be too much of a coincidence."
"What should we do then?" asked Dean Hao.
Wang Zhengkai said: "Why not let Comrade Xiao Su take the initiative to apply, and the Chinese Medical Research Institute will agree to support her after 'researching' her, so that she can feel more involved. In this way, we can also take the opportunity to commend Comrade Xiao Su, let her become a role model, and publicize and praise her."
Dean Hao thought about it and felt that this was a better idea.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Dean Hao turned his head and saw Su Lingyu standing at the door knocking on the office door. Her clean and clear almond-shaped eyes looked at him, which frightened him so much that he subconsciously covered the microphone with his hand.
