Chapter 129: An Empty Tomb
"Xiaoyi, grandma knows that you are worried about me, don't worry! Grandma knows in her heart! People, living in this life, there are always some things in my heart that I can't let go! I can't let go of you in this life, as well as your grandfather and your father! You obediently stay in school, don't let grandma worry! There is grandma watching at home! Nothing can happen!"
"Hmm!"
called and told me about staying in school as a volunteer, and my grandmother was relieved on the other end of the phone, and Lin Yi said that she still didn't ask.
It doesn't matter if this has anything to do with grandma.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yi stood by the small window at the end of the corridor, looked at the light rain outside the window, and sighed softly.
No matter what the dispute, one side will always have to give in in the end.
Lin Yi knows what it's like to be obsessed in his heart.
So when she understood her grandmother's determination, she finally chose to let go.
Do not force it, even in the name of love.
Instead of being frightened by the memories of the previous life, it is better to trust grandma to handle these things.
After all, grandma is a person who has lived by the Yangtze River for most of her life and experienced the once-in-a-century flood in 54 years!
301 all four people passed the assessment, to the agreed day, the four and alumni took the school bus together, first went to the temporary flood control and flood rescue department, after a simple training, was assigned to the bus station, railway station, airport and other traffic arteries, ready to obey the command, volunteer service.
Most of them, the freshmen, have never received any important jobs, and most of them are to show the way to the humanitarian relief personnel from abroad, or to send them to the foreigners who have traveled to China, and send them to the car or plane, and by the way, to ease the fear in the hearts of these foreign friends who have been apprehensive due to natural disasters, and to make them feel the friendship and warmth of this country.
July, it passed quickly.
August, here.
Lin Yi rejected the popular TV series, and was very devoted to her volunteer work every day, Su Wanqiu and her family have been very busy recently, except for an occasional phone call to care, and they didn't have time to come to see her, Lin Yi was also very interesting, and almost didn't bother them.
Probably because the image is relatively good and the professional quality is also excellent, Lin Yi's work is arranged at the airport.
Here, many foreigners return to their home countries every day, and many foreigners come to each country.
At the beginning, as a freshman, Lin Yi could only do some work with a small flag to guide the way, and then once, an Italian child was lost, Lin Yi helped her find her family, and the staff in charge of managing her found that this was still an all-rounder, not only could speak English, but also spoke Italian!
Because of the school selection exam, you need to first write and then take an oral test, she can speak some languages, but she has never seriously learned written expression, in order to save trouble when registering, she only reported the most sure English and French.
In fact, she can speak and write Italian, Japanese, Korean, and simple Russian, and she can also speak some minor languages, but she can't write.
The staff member in charge of her was stunned!
Especially when I found out that she could speak several domestic dialects, not speaking Cantonese, and even speaking everyday Mongolian, I was stunned!
As a result, Lin Yi soon went from a guide holding a small flag and wearing a little red riding hood to a translator at the airport who was responsible for receiving humanitarian rescue teams, and later achieved several jumps, jumping step by step from the airport to the International Disaster Relief Center temporarily formed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, following a group of government officials to deal with various donations at home and abroad, as well as the transfer of relief materials from all parties.
Lin Yi has always been quite inferior in terms of learning, even if she has learned many things by herself, she still can't see her own value correctly.
In her previous life, she learned languages, first for practicality, and then because of boredom, she never thought that one day she would be treated as a baby!
She only thinks that the government department is really short of people now, and she won't let go if she catches one.
With the excitement of "the country needs me", Lin Yi is trying to be the best version of himself every day!
When she arrived at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, she had to learn more than just languages.
Here, in addition to saying things appropriately and well, we must treat the interests of the country with all our hearts, and we must not lose the bearing of a great power!
When it comes to diplomacy, it's always a difficult task!
Especially now, this department is responsible for negotiating donations and rescue with various foreign forces, which is purely taking advantage of people and taking money out of people's pockets in vain, and it is even more difficult to work!
Some people may not be able to do well after working hard all their lives, but Lin Yi seems to be born to do this, no matter what work is given to her, she can do it properly and considerate all aspects quite thoughtfully.
It's like dust can't hide a pearl, it's like a cone in a bag, it's something that can't be hidden.
She came across a job that could give full play to her strengths, and she put in 12 points of hard work! Her ability was quickly seen by the leaders!
After repeated observations, it was found that she looked kind and soft, but she was very principled in her work, and she would never let go of her mouth if she did not let go! The leader was very satisfied, and the work assigned to her became more and more important.
has strong ability, plus she is the child of a martyr who has been on the People's Daily, she is absolutely rooted, as a person in the system, everyone likes her very much, and she is willing to teach her how to deal with difficult work.
Lin Yi has been so busy every day this summer, tired but fulfilling.
In Shanlin City, Li Fengxia got up early in the morning and heard Mr. Tao downstairs say that the water in the river had flooded Binhe Street, and all the residents along the river had been evacuated.
Li Fengxia climbed to the top of the building, looked at the Yangtze River that was getting wider and wider in the distance, and looked at the green mountains by the river, frowning slightly.
Another day.
The news said that Hongfeng was about to cross the border.
The neighborhood committee told you to prepare for evacuation, but if the situation is not right, you will have to move to a higher altitude.
Li Fengxia checked the items at home, took out a thick stack of waterproof bags, put away the important things unhurriedly, packed a backpack, and prepared to take it with her.
Looking at the electrical appliances that she had only bought for a short time, Li Fengxia was very reluctant, in case the water rose to the house, such a good electrical appliance would have to be destroyed.
But fortunately, although Shanlin No. 2 Middle School is very close to the river, this place was originally a mountain, as long as there is no situation like 54 years, it should not be able to flood the home.
With the raging floods, the supply of food in the city has become increasingly difficult, and it is difficult to buy meat and vegetables.
But this is not difficult for Li Fengxia.
The bean sprouts sent a few days ago can already be eaten, and you can solve a meal by pulling out a handful of noodles later.
After making good noodles and dividing them into bowls and basins, the black tiger squatted at Li Fengxia's feet, staring at the noodles in the basin, his eyes were very disgusted.
"Black Tiger! Obedient! Recently, the duck seller has not come out of the stall, and grandma can't help it! I will buy you more, okay?"
Li Fengxia coaxed the dog while eating noodles, and then turned on the TV casually.
While it hasn't been ruined by the flood, such an expensive TV, don't lose by watching more!
The TV signal quickly stabilized, and it was the noon news that must be watched every day recently.
"Recently, due to the crossing of the flood peak, the city's riverside street has been flooded, and all residents have been relocated"
Watching the news every day is already a daily routine, and the rhythm of one person and one dog eating noodles is not chaotic at all.
Until, Li Fengxia heard a sentence: "The martyr's cemetery in our city suffered a flood peak last night, and a martyr's tomb collapsed"
When I looked up, the TV screen flashed, and Li Fengxia's chopsticks fell to the ground.
Her son's grave was recognizable to her eyes closed.
Now the wordless tombstone is gone, the ground building has been washed away, and all that remains is a pit in its place, which is empty.
Was her son washed away?
Or was this an empty tomb in the first place?
Li Fengxia was uneasy.
She remembered her son's funeral.
The leader said that the child was too seriously injured and that it was too hot to rot, so it was not suitable to open the coffin.
She didn't see her son for the last time, in fact, she always suspected that her son was not in the coffin at all.
It's a mother's instinct, but she can't tell anyone.
For so many years, she has been so obsessed with this tomb, and there is no reason for this.
