Han Ji did not speak to Bai Shuixian outside. When they got inside the tent, he said to Captain Peng, "Captain Peng, go invite Comrade Bai in."
"yes."
Captain Peng followed the order without hesitation and went out to call for help.
Bai Shuixian followed him to the tent and saw that only Han Ji was here, with no outsiders around. She smiled tiredly and asked, "How did you know I was here?"
"The Chinese medicine you prescribed is very effective." Han Ji also smiled at her.
Seeing that they knew each other, Captain Peng instinctively felt that their relationship was not ordinary, so he immediately said cleverly: "Commander-in-Chief, I have something to go out first, you two can chat."
"Okay, go ahead."
Han Ji waved at him and poured Bai Shuixian a glass of water. "Are you so busy that you didn't even have a sip of water?"
"Water resources are in short supply. If we drink less, the soldiers rescuing us at the front can drink more to relax."
It's not just Bai Shuixian who has this idea. Other volunteers who came to the rescue had the same idea. After arriving here, they tried their best to do more work and take up fewer resources.
"Donated supplies from surrounding areas will arrive soon, and the shortage will no longer be so severe in a couple of days."
After she finished drinking the water, Han Ji poured her another glass and asked, "Linglong is pregnant, why did you let her come?"
"Linglong can drive and is quite skilled. We're in urgent need of a driver here. Her pregnancy is stable. Apart from being hungry, she doesn't have any other morning sickness symptoms and is in good health. I thought she could be of great help, so I agreed to let her come along."
The two of them were talking in the tent. Gong Linglong happened to be dragging a truck of supplies back. When she learned from Professor Shui that Han Ji had arrived, she immediately ran to the tent.
"Report."
Her voice came from outside, and Han Ji shouted: "Linglong, come in."
Gong Linglong, dusty and exhausted, pulled open the tent curtain and walked into the house, smiling and calling out, "Uncle Han."
"Um."
When Han Ji saw her this time, his expression was no longer complicated. He smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for your hard work during this period."
"fine."
Gong Linglong walked up to them and took out two bags of persimmon cakes and gave them to them. "A volunteer from the north just gave them to me."
Neither of the two elders took the call. Han Ji poured her a glass of water and said, "You're pregnant. The food supply here is short. You won't be able to eat three meals a day. You should stay and eat by yourself."
"Linglong, you eat it. Mom doesn't want it." Bai Shuixian didn't take it either.
Since they didn't want it, Gong Linglong didn't force them. She put it back in her pocket and said to Han Ji, "Uncle Han, can I make a small report to you?"
"Speak." Han Ji handed her the water.
"Thanks."
Gong Linglong took the water cup and gulped down half a bowl. After soothing her dry throat, she began to report, "A lot of second-generation rich people came today. The men wore shirts and leather shoes, and the women were dressed up, wearing small leather shoes and skirts. Some even wore lipstick and powder, and carried suitcases."
"They weren't here as disaster relief volunteers at all. People who didn't know them would think they were here for vacation. Some of them might have taken this opportunity to gild their faces."
"These people are still near the train station. As soon as they arrived, they started complaining about this and that. Not only did they refuse to help move the supplies, but they also used various identities to coerce vehicles carrying the supplies to them. They're just causing trouble and are here to cause trouble."
"I have a bad temper. When I was hauling supplies just now, I couldn't help but scold them. I think they will find fault with me again and try to trip me up."
Han Ji nodded after listening: "I understand."
He had things to do, and Bai Shuixian was too busy to handle it, so she said, "Han Ji, you go ahead and do your work. I'll go make the medicine."
"Okay, I'll ask Captain Peng to allocate more people to help you, so you don't have to work too hard."
Han Ji sent the mother and daughter to the door, then turned around and went to the next tent to find Captain Peng. He made several phone calls in a row, one of which was to the General Revolutionary Committee. He denounced the behavior of the members of the General Revolutionary Committee on the phone and asked them to recall all the people.
Another group of second-generation rich people who had just arrived were decisively driven away by an order in less than half an hour.
The next day, the People's Daily, which was distributed nationwide, published the incident, listing the names and behaviors of the disruptive revolutionary committee members and second-generation rich people. The report was full of criticism and accusations, and the whole article was sharp in its language, severely vilifying and accusing those who came to the disaster area with hidden purposes.
This was the time when the power struggle was at its most intense, and once this article came out, it caused quite a stir in the political circles.
Zheng Huiyun and others who were named were sent back to their units, and were met with a storm of accusations. They were then suspended from work and from school. Even if their families had powerful backgrounds, the elders in their family did not dare to speak up for them at this critical juncture.
Gong Linglong and the others were unaware of what happened to these second-generation rich people after they returned. At this time, she was driving a truck following Song Tao, delivering supplies to the earthquake epicenter.
After reaching a fork in the road, Song Tao stepped on the brakes, leaned out of the car window and shouted, "Sister-in-law, I'll go right, you go left. Brother Jing and his men's camp is on the left, about four or five miles away. We'll meet here in an hour and a half."
"Okay, be careful."
The two cars separated at the fork in the road, and Gong Linglong turned left. The situation in the epicenter of the earthquake was the worst. All the houses collapsed, and there was blood everywhere. There was a foul smell everywhere, which made her feel nauseous.
Gong Linglong stepped on the brakes and quickly took out a mask from the space and put it on.
This time her stomach started growling again. She touched her abdomen and whispered softly, "Babies, wait a moment. We will see Daddy soon. Let's eat together after we see Daddy."
"Captain, the supply truck is here."
Zheng Yong was the first to see the big truck. They had started working before dawn and hadn't had a drop of water until now. They were hungry and thirsty, but no one complained and they kept searching in the ruins to save people.
Gong Linglong spotted her familiar figure from a distance and immediately stepped on the accelerator to speed up, holding the horn in one hand and shouting, "Brother Jing."
"Linglong."
Lu Jingchuan was standing on the rubble at this time. When he saw her driving here, his bloodshot eyes were full of worry.
Gong Linglong parked the car as close to them as possible, quickly opened the door and got out, then shouted at them through the horn, "Take a break first, and come over for dinner."
Their team consisted of forty or fifty people, led by Lu Jingchuan. Under his command, everyone finished their work and rushed over to eat.
