"Brother Jing, call everyone over for dinner."
Gong Linglong set out to deliver food at dawn, parked the car next to the tent, and asked a young soldier to come and help carry things.
Today we gave them steamed buns, flatbreads and rice, which are staple foods to fill their stomachs, as well as a full bucket of roasted eggplant and a pot of nutritious cuttlefish and pork ribs soup.
Lu Jingchuan quickly ran over to help, "Linglong, why is there still soup to drink today?"
"The spare ribs and cuttlefish were purchased with the help of the Seoul Civil Affairs Department. Director Yang specifically asked me to stew them for you. Each of your four teams will have a pot of soup."
"Director Yang is so thoughtful. Thank her on our behalf."
They did not go hungry yesterday. After drinking the Chinese medicine sent to them, everyone felt that their fatigue had been relieved a lot, their physical strength and spirit had recovered a little, and they were more energetic for the subsequent rescue operations.
Others also came over one after another, thanking her one by one: "Sister-in-law, you have worked hard."
"It's not hard, you are the ones who work the hardest."
"I brought some Chinese medicine today. Everyone drinks a bowl or two after dinner. The soup is a bit bitter, but everyone says it's very effective. Just bite your teeth and drink a few more sips."
Lu Jingchuan slowly brought down a large bucket of Chinese medicine and said, "The Chinese medicine Mom prepared is really effective. It's like a tonic soup. I feel energetic after drinking it."
Gong Linglong smiled and handed them two large bags of noodles and pickles. "The situation in the West District is extremely serious right now. There's an extreme shortage of supplies. We have to deliver the goods there later, so we won't be able to bring you food this afternoon. The steamed buns are enough for lunch, and you can cook some noodles for dinner."
"good."
Lu Jingchuan thought about how tired she was from running around, and reminded her, "Linglong, take more rest when you have time."
Gong Linglong nodded and told him, "Brother Jing, I met Jingyang yesterday. He's in the West District. All his cousins from his uncle's and aunt's families are here, and they're all together. They've been without water, electricity, and food for a while now, and the situation is very bad. I'll be sending supplies to support them this afternoon. Also, Jiang Yun is leading a team to deliver Western medicine, and she met with Jingyang yesterday."
Lu Jingchuan pulled at the corners of his cracked mouth and said, "I'm busy here. Tell them to be more careful and we can meet again when we retreat."
"good."
Gong Linglong was in a hurry to deliver supplies, so she didn't want to waste any more time here. While no one was paying attention, she quickly gave him a kiss.
Lu Jingchuan was satisfied with her gentle doting and quietly hugged her waist, his eyes full of reluctance: "Be careful."
"Go eat, I'm leaving now."
Gong Linglong waved at him, opened the car door and got into the driver's cab, then hurried to the next stop to deliver supplies.
After finishing this round of work, when she drove back to the warehouse to pick up food, Director Yang hurried over and said, "Linglong, I'll go to the West District with you."
"Director Yang, do you have something to do?" Gong Linglong asked her.
"My daughter secretly came to the disaster area as a volunteer, assigned to the West District, without telling me. This morning, while she was out helping out, she encountered a landslide. She and several of her classmates were injured, but fortunately, they weren't seriously injured."
"I just received a call from my lover and learned that she was here. I'll go with you and bring them here to recuperate."
Director Yang's daughter is still in high school. She has her own personality and is very independent-minded at a young age. She is well-behaved and sensible, and is a child who never worries her parents. Although Director Yang never praises her children, she actually loves them very much.
After the supplies were loaded, the drivers set off immediately without wasting any time.
Director Yang, sitting in the passenger seat, said to her, "Linglong, you've been out delivering goods recently, and the data on supplies is a bit messy. The data on food and drinking water doesn't match up at all. The supplies sent out are much more than we counted. I did a rough check, and it's true that so much supplies were sent out. I don't know where all the extra supplies came from."
Gong Linglong: "...This is a good thing."
"It's a good thing. I don't know who is secretly delivering supplies without registering." Director Yang said.
Gong Linglong blinked. It was she who secretly delivered the supplies. She curled her lips slightly and said, "Director Yang, some people do good deeds but don't want to leave their names. Everyone has their own ideas and concerns. We are not investigating. This is the greatest respect for kind people."
"Well, you're right." Director Yang also curled his lips.
"Director Yang, as time goes by, the number of survivors is decreasing. I saw that the number of people rescued yesterday was much lower than the day before yesterday. I estimate that the rescue operation will be stopped in a few days."
"The rescue was difficult and everyone tried their best." Director Yang sighed.
"yes."
Gong Linglong witnessed this catastrophe with her own eyes and personally participated in the rescue, seeing with her own eyes how fragile and insignificant life is in the face of natural disasters.
Although she had obtained the benefit of rebirth, she had no ability to prevent this natural disaster. Even if she had warned in advance, no one would believe her, so she could only provide supplies as much as possible afterwards and try her best to help reduce casualties.
"Director Yang, once the rescue operation is over, rebuilding this place will be a huge problem. The national economy is basically stagnant right now, and the local government is unable to support reconstruction. If we want the people here to return to normal life, we must have huge financial support."
"Linglong, tell me about your ideas."
Director Yang has been working with her for several months and has some understanding of her. What she said means that she has some ideas.
Gong Linglong smiled and said, "In addition to applying for funds from higher authorities, we can also organize fundraising efforts from the public. Strength lies in numbers. Even if every household donates one dollar, it will add up to a considerable sum and greatly reduce the pressure on the government."
"That's a good idea." Director Yang nodded in agreement.
Gong Linglong talked to her about many detailed measures, especially the management of donation amounts. Drawing on her previous life's experience, she put forward many ideas to prevent corruption and embezzlement.
During the nearly four-hour drive, the two of them talked about this matter. Director Yang also took notes along the way and formulated a preliminary plan for the subsequent civil affairs reform and management.
"Linglong, work hard and steadily, you will go a long way in the future."
Director Yang is very satisfied with her assistant. Her work ability and potential are obvious to all. If nothing unexpected happens, she will definitely reach a high position in the future.
Gong Linglong smiled faintly, "Director Yang, it is my honor to have a leader like you. Please work harder and take me with you."
"hehe."
Director Yang is usually very serious, but today, she made him laugh, a rare sight. He even laughed out loud. "The future belongs to you young people. It's time for you to spread your wings and fly."
"You are only in your early forties. Your wings are strong and sturdy, and now is the right time to take off. I am still a little green. I haven't experienced the wind and rain yet, and my foundation is not solid enough. I need to hone my skills before I can soar and take off."
Director Yang listened with a big smile on her face. This child is young and energetic, capable but low-key, and does not get complacent when receiving praise. He is more calm and down-to-earth than most of his peers, and his excellence makes her proud.
