"Sister Qingyue, how is the process of flood relief? Now that the rain has stopped, I just saw that the water level of the flood seems to have dropped a lot. It seems that the situation is quite optimistic~"
Anyway, there were only Qin Feng and Ji Qingyue in the tent, so Qin Feng didn't need to call him "Captain Ji" and just called him Sister Qingyue as usual.
A rare smile appeared on Ji Qingyue's serious face, and she said excitedly and joyfully: "Although the floods this time are fierce, our flood fighting work is going very smoothly. Army soldiers, fire brigade, electric power recognition, medical team... All units and departments are united as one. So far, we have rescued more than 50,000 victims, and the water level of the flood has also dropped significantly. Many power facilities have returned to normal after emergency repairs... It seems that as long as nothing happens, tomorrow morning This disaster can be suppressed.”
After hearing this, Qin Feng felt very relieved and smiled.
Ji Qingyue looked at Qin Feng's pale face and couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Qin Feng, you seem to be in very bad condition. You must be out of breath due to the pressure of the rescue work. How about we eat first!"
"Have a meal?"
Qin Feng didn't expect to hear such two words of luxury in such an environment.
Qin Feng then followed Ji Qingyue to the soldiers' rest area. The so-called rest area is actually an open space in the open air. The ground is covered with rainwater and mud. It is cold and damp. The conditions are ten times more difficult than the medical shed!
In the rest area, there is a large shed similar to a "simple canteen". The aroma of rice comes from the large shed, which is very tempting. Flood relief soldiers are queuing up to get food.
Qin Feng was a little surprised, because the organization did not provide such a sumptuous meal for the soldiers, the most was compressed biscuits and dry bread.
Ji Qingyue quickly explained to Qin Feng: "These people who provide meals are enthusiastic citizens of Qingshan City. In order to thank the soldiers for helping them fight floods and provide disaster relief, they cooked a lot of dishes and staple food for us for free, and drove them themselves. Come over here, I hope we warriors can have a steaming dinner!"
After hearing this, Qin Feng pursed his dry lips, a moved look appeared on his face, and his heart felt warm.
China is a country with warmth. Whether it is soldiers or civilians, they all exude kindness and warmth.
These enthusiastic citizens, like the soldiers, are lovely and respectable people.
In the face of large-scale natural disasters, the military and civilians must work together as one!
Qin Feng and Ji Qingyue also picked up their dinner plates and lined up to get food.
One chicken leg, one tomato scrambled egg, one shredded potato, one roasted eggplant, plus two big warm steamed buns, and a bowl of mung bean soup.
The dinner provided by the enthusiastic citizens was very rich for the soldiers.
In the rest area, the soldiers sat on the floor, holding their dinner plates and eating steamed buns with dirty hands, all smiling happily.
Qin Feng looked at the happy smiles on the faces of his comrades, and he couldn't help but smile brightly.
Qin Feng and Ji Qingyue also sat on the floor and began to enjoy this hard-won "love dinner".
Even though the rest area was full of soldiers having dinner, there were actually some soldiers working in the flood, and they hadn't had time to have dinner yet.
They kept transporting sandbags and built new embankments along the river.
They carried shovels and dug mud and sand downstream of the river, just to dredge the river and speed up the discharge of floods.
They drove lifeboats and continued to search and rescue victims trapped in the floods in the dark night.
…
When the soldiers in the rest area are full, they will exchange positions with the soldiers at work and continue their hard work of flood control.
One hundred thousand Chinese soldiers, with the Chinese soul in their hearts.
Soldiers can withstand the test of life and death only because they all have the same "motherland" in their hearts.
After several hours of flood fighting and disaster relief work, everyone's faces were full of exhaustion, but their eyes remained firm.
In the rest area, the dim light illuminated the embarrassed figures of the soldiers.
Their bodies were soaked, covered with mud, and scarred. Their hands and feet had been swollen by the flood, and they were miserable.
Qin Feng was no exception. Two layers of skin on his hands had been soaked, and the flesh and blood were directly exposed to the air. When blown by the cold wind, the pain was unimaginable!
Military dog units also played an important role in flood fighting operations. Their keen sense of smell and swimming ability saved the lives of many victims in floods.
At this time, the military dog Hei Feng was lying at Qin Feng's feet. Qin Feng gave Hei Feng the only chicken leg on the dinner plate.
Hei Feng was very happy, hugging the chicken legs and started chewing them. Its right paw was injured. Qin Feng had just bandaged it, but a lot of blood still oozed from the wound.
One person and one dog have become good partners in the process of flood fighting and disaster relief. Hei Feng has saved at least more than 200 lives.
While Qin Feng was having dinner, some media reporters walked into the rest area one after another.
People across the country are concerned about the compatriots in Qingshan County, so media reporters came to the flood fighting front line regardless of their lives, hoping to broadcast everything here live to audiences across the country, so that people across the country can see the heroic deeds of Chinese soldiers and the soldiers and civilians. The courage and will to fight the flood together.
Qin Feng was eating steamed buns when a pretty figure walked in front of him.
"Sir, we meet again."
Hearing the familiar female voice, Qin Feng raised his eyes and saw that the woman in front of him was CCTV reporter Wang Bing. Wang Bing looked at Qin Feng with admiration and admiration in his eyes.
During the last evacuation operation in Nigeria, Qin Feng became acquainted with Wang Bing.
At that time, Wang Bing had been following and reporting on Qin Feng. After the two parted that time, today was the second time they met.
Although it was only the second time they met, the two looked at each other and smiled like old friends.
"Reporter Wang, what a coincidence... By the way, how did you recognize me?" Qin Feng scratched his head, a little shy.
In fact, Qin Feng's image today is different from that during the earthquake relief work. Although he was very embarrassed, this time Qin Feng had been soaked in the flood for three hours, his face was swollen, and his biological mother did not recognize him. , but Wang Bing recognized him at a glance.
Wang Bing smiled and explained: "Sir, I remember your figure and shape. And I heard you when you spoke just now, and I always remember your voice."
Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly. It turned out that it was his voice that betrayed him.
Wang Bing's eyes fell on Qin Feng's shoulders. Qin Feng's epaulette changed from "major general rank" to "lieutenant general rank". This speed of promotion surprised Wang Bing, but it was also reasonable.
After all, Qin Feng's contribution in the last evacuation operation was seen by people all over the country and even the world, but they just didn't know Qin Feng's real name.
Then Wang Bing saw the rich food on Qin Feng's plate.
"Sir, the food for the soldiers this time is much better than during the last earthquake relief effort. I remember that last time you could only eat instant noodles."
Qin Feng looked proud and said proudly: "Reporter Wang, last time we were abroad. This time we are at home. These sumptuous dishes are provided to us for free by the enthusiastic people in Qingshan City. Our Chinese motherland, We should pay attention to the fact that the military and the civilians are one family! The military and the civilians are originally one family. We feel happy when our families cook for us!"
This is the difference between foreign and domestic.
In foreign earthquake relief operations, Chinese soldiers tried their best to save people, but they could only eat instant noodles without any nutrition.
But in the country, all ordinary people are the "food, clothing and parents" of the people's soldiers. With the support of the people, the soldiers can eat four dishes and one soup at any time!
All in all, in the Chinese motherland, soldiers are never afraid of not having enough to eat, they are just afraid of eating too well!
