Chapter 239 Supplies Arrive
Ji Xiurong stood in the middle of the crowd, her voice firm and powerful, echoing in the small space.
"If it weren't for Master Wei's sesame paste, I might have died long ago!"
"He saved my life."
Ji Xiurong paused slightly, her eyes filled with gratitude.
It felt like I was back in the days when Yan Xiangli abandoned me.
She recalled that during her most desperate moment, it was Wei Fugui's steaming bowl of sesame paste.
It gave her the warmth of home and the strength to keep going.
"He is a good person, kind-hearted, and the best person I have ever met."
Ji Xiurong continued, her emotions gradually becoming agitated, her voice trembling slightly.
“He had someone in his family starve to death, so he knows better than anyone how important food is to an individual and a family.”
"But he was still willing to give the food to everyone."
“He did not hesitate for a moment when we were going through the most difficult time.”
Her voice was filled with admiration and emotion.
"Such a good man, who else would I marry if not him!"
Ji Xiurong uttered these words with a resounding voice.
As if declaring her determination to the whole world, her eyes shone with unwavering resolve.
Upon hearing this, Da Kui felt as if a bottle of mixed emotions had been spilled in his heart.
Feeling wronged and angry all at once.
He could no longer control his emotions and couldn't help but shout.
"And what about me? Have I been unkind to you?"
His face turned bright red, and the veins on his forehead bulged, like an enraged bull.
"I didn't even blame you for Yan Xiangli dumping you!"
He felt that his feelings for Ji Xiurong had been ignored all along, and that all his efforts had been in vain.
As Ji Xiurong listened to Da Kui's words, she slowly lowered her head and said in a low voice.
"You may not say you're complaining, but you're really resentful inside!"
“I can sense that I won’t let you blame me for Yan Xiangli for the rest of your life.”
She raised her head, her gaze resolute, as if speaking to herself and to Da Kui.
"But I know Wei Fugui definitely won't."
Da Kui was speechless after hearing this.
He was so angry that he was trembling all over, and subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to slap Ji Xiurong.
His hand was raised in the air, but it seemed to be held back by some invisible force, and he couldn't bring it down for a long time.
He was filled with inner conflict and struggle.
On one hand, it was anger at Ji Xiurong for rejecting him.
On the other hand, his long-standing friendship prevented him from doing it.
Ji Xiurong glanced at Da Kui sideways, thinking to herself.
If Da Kui really slapped her, she might think more highly of him, believing that at least he dared to act.
But now, his indecisiveness made her feel somewhat disappointed.
In her heart, Wei Fugui was now the one who was truly responsible and trustworthy.
Ji Xiurong took two more steps forward, walked to the middle of the crowd, and raised her voice.
"I'm telling you all, I'm not joking, I'm serious!"
"I made the wrong choice in my marriage."
"It's my vanity to insist on marrying a college student."
A hint of regret flickered in her eyes as she recalled her past failed relationship, her heart filled with bitterness.
"But I've made up my mind now, I'm going to marry Wei Fugui."
"He's a good man, I'm sure I'll be happy if I marry a good man!"
Her words were full of longing for the future.
Upon hearing Ji Xiurong's statement, Feng Cheng quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Ji Xiurong just mentioned it casually, and everyone just took it as a casual remark!"
"Just remember this in your hearts!"
"If only we could all live..."
As he finished speaking, his voice gradually lowered, and his expression became somewhat solemn.
These words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the lively atmosphere that had just been created by Ji Xiurong's words.
Everyone fell silent, and the atmosphere became oppressive and heavy.
Everyone understands that in this crisis of food shortages, lives are in grave danger and the future is full of uncertainty.
Wei Fugui'er hid in the kitchen and heard everyone's conversation clearly.
He was probably happy, or perhaps a little.
After all, Ji Xiurong is such an outstanding girl, and she publicly expressed her feelings for him like this.
What man wouldn't be tempted by that?
However, there is more worry than anything else; it's uncertain whether there will even be a tomorrow for Bashang.
"Rumble--"
Suddenly, the sound of a helicopter broke the silence, echoing over Saihanba.
Summer, who was standing outside lost in thought, perked up immediately upon hearing this sound.
He looked up, his eyes fixed on the helicopters circling in the sky.
His eyes were filled with expectation, as if he had seen a glimmer of hope for life.
Everyone in the cafeteria heard the sound.
Everyone was stunned at first, then excitedly ran out of there.
They gazed at the sky, their eyes shining with a longing for rescue and survival.
Soon, a comrade named Two Cents descended from the helicopter.
"Which of you is Summer?"
As soon as Liang Mao came down, he immediately asked. His voice was crisp and decisive, with the resolve of a soldier.
"I'm!"
Summer quickly stepped forward and excitedly welcomed Liangmao into the cafeteria.
His steps were hurried, his heart filled with anticipation.
I am also excited that everyone is about to get out of this predicament.
"Our unit has been ordered by our superiors to airdrop supplies to you!"
After entering the cafeteria, Liang Mao didn't waste any time talking.
He directly told Xia Tian the purpose of his trip.
"Thank you, you've worked hard!"
Summer listened to the words of the man in front of her, who was only two cents, and her voice trembled with excitement.
The people in the canteen were also very excited to hear Liangmaoyi's words.
The oppressive atmosphere was instantly replaced by joy and hope.
"Great, we are saved!"
"Yes, we survived!"
Everyone cheered, their faces beaming with the joy of surviving a disaster.
Some people were so moved that they shed tears, and the fear and despair of the past few days vanished in that moment.
Soon, bags of supplies were airdropped from the helicopter.
Everyone worked together to move the airdropped supplies into the canteen.
As they carried the loads, they laughed and talked, as if they had forgotten the hardships they had endured before.
"Thank you, Comrade Two Cents!"
Summer once again expresses her gratitude to the two Maos.
His eyes were filled with sincerity and gratitude; the supplies had come at just the right time.
"You're welcome, it's what we should do!"
Liang Mao saluted Xia Tian, then took out a list of supplies and handed it to Xia Tian.
"This is the list of supplies for this airdrop. Please check it!"
He was polite and meticulous, and diligently fulfilled his duties.
"it is good!"
Summer took the list and carefully checked it.
He finished counting in no time and said.
"The supplies are not a problem!"
Upon hearing this, Liang Mao prepared to leave.
Summer saw him off, and as the helicopter gradually disappeared into the distance, he was filled with mixed emotions.
"Comrades, the organization will not abandon us!"
Looking at the supplies, Xia Tian addressed the crowd, his voice filled with strength and encouragement.
"Old Wei, grab some millet and go cook a pot of porridge!"
"Cook more so that everyone can have a hot drink."
He turned to Wei Fugui and said.
"it is good!"
Upon hearing Xia Tian's words, Wei Fugui immediately grabbed a bag of millet and headed to the kitchen.
His steps were light, and his heart was filled with joy.
It wasn't just because there was food, but also because they saw hope for the future.
Meanwhile, at a base in Rehe Province.
"report!"
The two men who had just entered the office saluted the leader.
"Come in!"
The base commander's voice was calm and powerful.
"Reporting to the commander, our unit has successfully completed the airdrop objective!"
Liang Mao loudly reported to the base commander.
"Okay, good, go and get back to work!"
The leader nodded in satisfaction, and after Liang Mao left, he made another phone call.
Inside the Weichang County Forestry Bureau, Yu Zhenglai was chatting with Qu He when the phone on the table suddenly rang.
"I'm!"
Qu He answered the phone, and as he listened, his expression suddenly became very serious.
His expression was solemn, which made Yu Zhenglai, who was standing to the side, feel uneasy.
"What? What did you say?"
Yu Zhenglai watched from the side, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.
His brows furrowed as he anxiously awaited Qu He's reply.
"Saihanba, food shortage, distress call!"
Qu He put down the phone and said to Zheng with a livid face.
His voice was low and filled with self-reproach and unease.
"What? What's going on?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Zheng was also taken aback and immediately stood up from his chair.
His voice rose eight octaves, filled with anger and anxiety.
"Qu He, Qu He, what promise did you make to me?"
"If anything happens to any of the college students, I will punish you severely!"
"Quickly, organize a rescue team and get them to the dam immediately!"
He knew that the situation in Saihanba was critical, and that every second wasted increased the danger to everyone's lives.
Qu He lowered his head, looking like a child who had made a mistake, and responded meekly.
"Yes!"
He was filled with guilt.
He secretly blamed himself for not keeping abreast of the situation in Saihanba and for not doing a good job in ensuring its safety.
……
"The Air Force said they have received orders from their superiors and have already airdropped supplies to Bashang!"
A little while later, Qu He brought the same news.
His tone carried a hint of relief, as if a huge weight had finally been lifted from his shoulders.
"What? That's great!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Zheng breathed a long sigh of relief, and the expression on his face softened considerably.
"Qu He, this incident is far too serious and must be thoroughly investigated!"
"Yes!"
Qu He responded again, secretly relieved.
Fortunately, the Air Force provided airdrops; otherwise, the responsibility would have been much greater.
He was determined to thoroughly investigate the matter.
Peking City.
Qin Qiufeng received a call from the head of the Rehe Province base.
"That's great, thank you so much for your support!"
"Don't worry, I will have the Rehe Provincial Department deliver the supplies to you!"
As the call ended, Qin Qiufeng let out a long sigh of relief.
His biological daughter nearly starved to death in Saihanba.
What are those people down there doing?
Qin Qiufeng was furious.
Such a serious work error actually occurred in the forestry department.
Moreover, it was the military that discovered it first.
This time, Qin Qiufeng has completely lost face.
"Put me on the phone with the Forestry Department of Rehe Province."
Forestry Department of Rehe Province.
After receiving the call from Qin Qiufeng, Director Li listened to the barrage of insults coming from the other end of the line.
Director Li looked completely bewildered.
He knew nothing and was inexplicably scolded by Qin Qiufeng.
He's innocent! He's more innocent than Dou E!
However, faced with his boss's harsh scolding, he had no choice but to endure it.
Soon, the call was hung up.
Director Li was about to order his subordinates to investigate what had happened.
Unexpectedly, the phone on my desk rang again.
"I'm!"
Left with no other option, Director Li had to answer the phone first.
"I'm from a base in Rehe Province!"
"Our people just airdropped a batch of supplies to the Saihanba area."
Director Li listened to the voice on the other end of the phone and then realized what had happened.
No wonder Minister Qin got so angry.
Minister Qin didn't tear him apart; it's all thanks to his magnanimity.
"Ok, I see!"
"Don't worry, after I talk to the leaders, there will definitely be enough supplies!"
Director Li hung up the phone in frustration.
"Let's go find Yu Zheng!"
Director Li, after hanging up the phone, became increasingly upset.
Why is he the only one being scolded?
He decided to go and get back at Yu Zheng.
After all, the Weichang County Forestry Bureau was under the jurisdiction of Yu Zheng.
"Our Director Yu is not here!"
Since the Forestry Department of Rehe Province and the Forestry Bureau of Chengde Prefecture both operate within the Imperial Palace.
So Director Li arrived at the Forestry Bureau very quickly.
However, the forestry bureau staff told them that Yu Zheng was not there.
"Where did he go?"
"Our Director Yu went to the Weichang County Forestry Bureau."
"Okay, let's go to the Weichang County Forestry Bureau!"
After hearing the staff list report, Director Li immediately decided to go to the Weichang County Forestry Bureau.
I'll inspect the work of the local forestry bureaus and, incidentally, find Yu Zheng to cause trouble.
Weichang County Forestry Bureau.
Yu Zhenglai and Qu Hezheng are having a meeting with mid-level cadres of the Forestry Bureau.
The atmosphere inside the meeting room was somewhat awkward.
Yu Zhenglai, sitting at the head of the table, stared intently at the people below, without uttering a word.
The forestry bureau officials were all in a state of panic.
In particular, Tian Qingshan, the director of the General Office.
At that moment, he wished he could beat the driver, Xiao Pang, to death.
A scoundrel who betrays his superiors.
He asked for leave to go home before he had finished his work.
Qu He lowered his head, looking ashamed.
Such a big thing happened in Bashang, and he, as the direct supervisor, knew nothing about it.
This was a mistake in his work.
If something were to happen to the college students in the summer in Bashang.
Even being skinned alive would be too lenient for him.
"Boss, I apologize!"
"I bear primary responsibility for this accident!"
After a long while, Qu He stood up and spoke to Yu Zhenglai.
"How will you take responsibility? Can you afford to take that responsibility?"
Yu Zhenglai listened to Qu He's words and asked a question in return.
"University students and advance teams from Bashang braved the heavy snow and stayed there."
"I only asked you to handle the logistics, how did you do it?"
"The dam area has been without food for more than ten days, and not a single one of you noticed?"
"If the Air Force hadn't happened to be there on a mission and discovered the problem in time!"
"Are you going to wait until all the college students starve to death before you're satisfied?"
Yu Zheng looked at Qu He with disappointment.
