Yu Sui said nothing, put the bundle she had prepared on the table, opened it, and said:
"Don't worry, give me a minute. I've packed some things for you, take a look. First, this bag is all food. You're going to disaster relief, so it's not easy to get food, so here are all dry rations. If you can't eat for a while, you can eat what we brought with us.
After an earthquake, there will most likely be problems with the water supply. Look at this, I made a water purification system myself. You put it on top of your kettle to collect water. Ordinary drinking water enters from this end and goes through layers of filtration. It will be cleaner when you drink it.
Don't underestimate these things. If you drink unclean water, you might not be able to rescue the disaster, and you might even have to trouble others to rescue you. So I've made several of these water filter cartridges, and you need to replace them every five days.
If that's not enough, make a few more yourself using my recipe, but always make sure to filter them. The rest are things like gauze or tape, and you'll learn how to do them once you see them, so I won't explain them. Anyway, protect yourself."
Xia Linsheng was stunned.
I never expected that Yu Sui could prepare all these.
He originally thought that it would be great if his fiancée didn't cry, but it turned out that the other party was more considerate than he thought.
I knew my wife was good, but I didn't know she could be this good.
At this moment in Xia Lin's life, his heart was filled with joy.
He opened his arms and hugged Yu Sui tightly, tightening and tightening, and then took great effort to let go and saluted: "Comrade Yu Sui, I, Xia Linsheng, promise to complete the mission!"
Yu Sui gave him a big smile: "Well, go get busy."
Xia Linsheng left just like that.
Communications were not well developed in those days, and various events in the disaster area needed to be counted. It was nearly half a month later that Yu Sui learned the general situation in Tangshan.
In the past half month, Xia Lin has not been seen and has not called back.
One day after the earthquake on May 28, all the people living in the family compound were required to live outdoors.
They say there might be more major aftershocks, so everyone needs to live outside.
The first company of the first battalion that stayed behind was responsible for setting up tents for each household. Yu Sui, as the deputy battalion commander's family member, shared a tent with the families of two other deputy battalion commanders.
The families of the two deputy battalion commanders both brought their children, a total of five children, all of whom were not very old, ranging from three to nine years old, the age that even dogs dislike.
These children were also relieved by the earthquake. They all had holidays and did not have to go to primary school. They were very happy. They started to make noise after eating and even wanted to rip the roof of the tent off.
Yu Sui really couldn't stand it.
Think about it, the tent is only about ten square meters, and these children are making noise all the time. How can you sleep well?
Not to mention sleeping, even if you want to drink a sip of water, there will be children staring at you and asking you what you want to eat?
Yu Sui would go back to the room quietly every day under the pretext of going back to the dormitory to get something, and even slept indoors at night instead of going to the tent.
Because she knew that there would be no earthquakes where they were, there was no need to live outside.
But others didn’t know, and after discovering that Yu Sui was not good enough several times, they started to talk about it more.
One day later, Ding Lili came to the dormitory to find Yu Sui.
Yu Sui opened the door and let her in.
Ding Lili kept sniffing: "Hiss, what delicious food did you cook? It smells so good."
Yu Sui stuffed a piece of dried meat into her hand and said, "There are so many delicious things, I can't count them all at once."
"Ha!" Ding Lili laughed, taking a big bite of dried meat as she sat down at the table. "You're amazing! The compound hasn't let anyone go out easily these days, and the logistics department has been cooking those marching meals. I'm almost vomiting after eating them. Where do you get the meat?"
Yu Sui: "Would you believe me if I told you I secretly ran out to buy something?"
Ding Lili: "I believe you! I think you're quite capable. Han Duomi called and said that among all the people who went to the disaster relief, only your man brought his own dry food and medicine, and even a water purification system. Anyway, from what I heard Han Duomi say, he just despised me for not getting anything for him. Humph!"
Yu Sui: "Han Duomi can still call back? I envy you so much!"
Ding Lili glanced at her and said, "Then he'll be in charge of driving. He'll definitely be able to find the place to make the phone call by going in and out."
"Just because he can find a place to call doesn't mean he has to call back. If he can call back, it means he misses you."
After Yu Sui finished speaking, Ding Lili forced a smile. "Maybe my dad made him fight, and he had to fight. He rarely talks to me now."
Yu Sui didn't want to continue this topic.
To be honest, as a friend, she has been helpful enough, but when it comes to emotional matters, it is useless to ask for help from others, you have to deal with it yourself.
Yu Sui pretended not to hear any of this and asked about the disaster situation: "Hey, if you can get a call from there, do you know what's going on there now?"
Ding Lili: "It's okay. I heard it was quite amazing. The earthquake was a 7.8 magnitude, which is quite large. About 90% of the houses collapsed. Just imagine, even the railway tracks were twisted like twisted dough sticks. What a powerful earthquake it must have been. However, the casualties were okay. They are currently saying that there were about 4,000 casualties. It sounds like a lot, but experts say that compared to the magnitude of the earthquake and the number of collapsed houses, the casualties are very small. Han Duomi said that the locals happened to be living outdoors that day, so they were able to avoid the disaster."
Yu Sui could almost hear a "thump" sound in her heart, as if a huge stone had been lifted off her shoulders.
Compared with the 240,000 people in the previous life, more than 4,000 people is really very good, quite good.
It exceeded Yu Sui's greatest expectations.
Yu Sui was very happy and immediately asked excitedly, "Huh? So everyone over there knew the earthquake was going to happen, and what a coincidence that they all lived outdoors?"
Ding Lili: "Han Duomi said that when he went to make the phone call, everyone was talking about how they were lucky to have the gods' guidance, so they didn't die. Han Duomi found this statement very strange, so he asked about it. Later, he heard that there was a local saying that on the first night of the seventh month, you must live outside. If you see the seven stars or something, you can avoid disaster. Anyway, many people live outside.
So when the earthquake happened, the people outside felt it first and started yelling, which gave the people inside an opportunity to react. This way, the overall number of casualties was reduced. Otherwise, the number would definitely be more than the current number. Oh, and the people in that place are saying they want to build a golden statue for that deity!
Yu Sui was a little amused: "They even made a golden statue for the gods. Did they even see the gods?"
Ding Lili: "That's what happened. Some people saw her, but their accounts differed. Some saw her as a hunchbacked old lady, others said she was a young girl with pigtails, and still others said she was a man with glasses. So now they want to portray an old lady with pigtails and glasses."
Yu Sui: “…” This is how my image was vilified.
