On the third day after the disaster, Pang Chunfang followed a rescue team from G City to the epicenter of the county and found the school playground known as the 'Oasis of Life'.

There are still a lot of people here, and there are newly erected relief tents everywhere.

It is also the place where the first rescue medical team entered the disaster area, and there are sufficient medical personnel and medicines, and new rescued wounded are constantly being sent here for treatment. All of the flat rooms have been converted into wards or operating theatres.

Although there are many things, the order here is not chaotic at all, many students or parents of students act as volunteers, each injured person has a person in charge, everything will be gathered to the end of it and then processed, and then feedback the results of the treatment.

At the place where all the information was gathered, Pang Chunfang finally saw Liu Xiangdong who bowed his head and wrote a note.

Hearing the footsteps, Liu Xiangdong looked up, and was stunned for a moment when he saw Pang Chunfang, he didn't expect Pang Chunfang to appear here.

Liu Xiangdong pointed to his throat, indicating that he was still silent.

With tears in her eyes, Pang Chunfang stepped forward and hugged the tired man.

Then, Pang Chunfang saw Yao Shijing, although Yao Shijing did not lose her voice, her voice was hoarse.

"Chunfang, why are you here?" Yao Shijing was also surprised by Pang Chunfang's appearance.

"When I saw a picture of the three of you on the Internet, I rushed back immediately. ”

"Ah, are all three of us on the news? There's still no way to get to the phone, let alone the Internet. Only satellite phones can be used. I don't even know when it was in the news. Yao Shijing said.

Pang Chunfang followed Yao Shijing to meet Shen Hong, and stayed by Liu Xiangdong's side to help him deal with things.

Soon after Pang Chunfang arrived, the rescue medical team followed by Wang Qiuyun also entered the county seat at the epicenter. Wang Qiuyun hurriedly met with Liu Xiangdong, and after chatting a few words, he went to work.

On the fourth day after the disaster, mobile communications were restored, and under Pang Chunfang's reminder, Liu Xiangdong dialed home and reported to his parents that he was safe. Tang Yuhua and Liu Qiyuan hadn't slept well for three days, and after hanging up the phone, the two were finally able to sleep with peace of mind.

Yao Shijing and Shen Hong also called home to report their safety.

Qi Meiling saw on the news that Liu Xiangdong and the three were all in the epicenter area, and at first she also wanted to rush to the disaster area and share weal and woe with her friends. But when I came to the vicinity of the disaster area, there were too many people rushing to the disaster area, and it was estimated that it would not be useful to go in by myself, so it was better to stay outside and cooperate with Liu Xiangdong inside to do his logistics work.

On the fourth day, Qi Meiling finally got through to Liu Xiangdong's mobile phone. According to the list of urgently needed materials listed by Liu Xiangdong, Qi Meiling delivered supplies to the 'oasis of life' one by one.

On the fifth day, the No. 1 head of the country came to the epicenter, and also came to the playground, which is called the 'oasis of life' by the outside world, and personally came to the small command post where Liu Xiangdong worked.

"Comrade Xiangdong, hard work. The chief held Liu Xiangdong's hand tightly.

"That's what I'm supposed to do. Liu Xiangdong said calmly.

The chief also shook hands with Shen Hong, Yao Shijing, and Pang Chunfang one by one.

On the seventh day, the rescue work was nearing completion, and the disaster statistics were basically over. Due to the thorough preparation and the fact that many schools were conducting disaster drills that day, all of this minimized the number of people affected by the disaster. According to statistics, 2,127 people were killed, 6,853 were injured, and 416 were missing. All casualties combined were less than 10,000. The intensity of this earthquake is stronger than that of the earthquake in '76.

Many Chinese people attribute the success of this disaster relief to the government's effective prevention and timely response. Only a small number of people in the upper echelons know that the person who has made the greatest contribution is actually one person, that is, Liu Xiangdong, who has carried out geological monitoring of this area at his own expense three times.

On the ninth day, Liu Xiangdong handed over all the work in his hands to the local department that restored the system, and quietly left the disaster area where he had been holding on for nine days with three girls, Yao Shijing, Shen Hong, and Pang Chunfang.

Back in City B, Pang Chunfang did not go to the hotel, but openly lived in Liu Xiangdong's house, and Yao Shijing and Shen Hong did not express any opinions.

Pang Chunfang lived with Liu Xiangdong in City B for two days and flew back to Europe, without saying when she would return.

A month later, the state commended the disaster relief heroes, Shen Hong was listed in the first batch of commendation lists, Yao Shijing was listed in the second batch of commendation lists, and Liu Xiangdong's name did not appear on any commendation list.

Liu Xiangdong has no public praise for himself, he has no complaints, he is willing to be an unsung hero.

The higher-level leaders discussed how to reward Liu Xiangdong several times, and finally decided that in order to protect him, he could only be rewarded privately. Before Shen Hong went to Beijing to receive the award, Liu Xiangdong had already received his medal: the National Special Contribution Award, with a bonus of 10 million. It is estimated that the above also knows that he spent 8 million yuan on three self-funded monitoring, which was compensated to him.

Liu Xiangdong donated all the 10 million funds to the disaster area.

When Shen Hong came back from the capital, she not only became a celebrity in the Affiliated Hospital of the Medical College, but also a celebrity in City B and the entire J Province, and was called 'the most beautiful angel in white' by the people in the disaster area of S Province. Many people who have been treated by Shen Hong have photos of Shen Hong enshrined in their homes.

Many media wanted to interview Shen Hong, but she rejected them one by one.

Shen's father and Shen's mother came to City B again to visit Shen Hong and Liu Xiangdong.

Shen's mother stroked the medal that Shen Hong had gotten, and said with tears in her eyes: "You guys, don't scare us next time, this time I was so scared that half of my life was almost gone." Your dad also went to the hospital for two days of intravenous drips. ”

Father Shen patted Liu Xiangdong on the shoulder and said, "Xiangdong, do it right, do it well, accompany me for a few drinks tonight." ”

At dinner in the evening, Yao Shijing ate together.

Shen's mother took Yao Shijing's hand and said, "You are all good children, you must have a good life." ”

After experiencing this time, Shen's mother did not pursue what kind of relationship Liu Xiangdong and the three of them had. As long as they live well and live safely, parents will be at ease.

Father Shen didn't care about what happened to Liu Xiangdong and the three of them, he touched several glasses with Liu Xiangdong, and he was so happy that he drank too much.

Shen's father and Shen's mother haven't gone back yet, Tang Yuhua and Liu Qiyuan also came to City B, and the two families met in this way.

The two families sat together, and this time, Yao Shijing did not attend.

Tang Yuhua didn't know what to say to Shen's mother, but Shen's mother took Tang Yuhua's hand and said, "Sister Yuhua, let them handle the children's affairs by themselves, I think they are all good children, as long as they are doing well, we can rest assured." ”

Shen's father just dragged Liu Qiyuan to drink, and told Liu Qiyuan from time to time that he had a good son. Obviously, Shen's father is very satisfied with Liu Xiangdong.

Yao Shijing's family was also going to come to City B, but fortunately, they called Yao Shijing before they came. In order not to let the three families get together, Yao Shijing dispelled the old man's idea of coming to City B on the phone, saying that after a while, she and Liu Xiangdong would go back to see the old man together.

On Yao Shijing's father's fiftieth birthday in July, Liu Xiangdong drove Yao Shijing and her sister Xiaoyu, who had graduated from primary school and was about to enter junior high school, to go back to celebrate Yao Shijing's father's birthday.

The daughter and the prospective son-in-law came back together to celebrate her birthday, and Yao's father and Yao's mother were very happy.

On his birthday, more than a dozen tables were set up in the town, all the best dishes were ordered, the best cigarettes and alcohol were used, and of course the money was paid by Liu Xiangdong, the prospective son-in-law.

Before Liu Xiangdong and Yao Shijing wanted to return to City B, Yao's mother finally asked Liu Xiangdong and Yao Shijing.

"Xiangdong, the matter between you and Ah Jing was said to be done this year, have you set a date?" asked Yao's mother.

"Mom, we are going to get the certificate on August 8th, and come back for the National Day to set up the wine, what do you think?" Yao Shijing said the plan discussed by the two.

"Okay, you can just set it, do you want to put the wine in the town, or do you want to go to the county?" asked Yao's mother again.

"Let's still be in the town, and then we will also put it on the east side, we will eat the day before and the east side the next day. ”

"Okay, then I can send out the invitation half a month in advance. ”

"At home, Mom, you and Dad can just watch it. ”

On August 8, the opening of the Chinese Olympic Games, Liu Xiangdong and Yao Shijing went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate and became an official husband and wife.
