Chapter 91: Hidden Feelings
"I ...... I would like to ask you to help me go to a remote mountainous area in Guizhou to see a ......"
Instructor Du spoke in a rambling manner.
"Go to the remote mountainous areas of Guizhou to see a person? Brother Du, don't be embarrassed first, I can only decide if you tell me the whole thing first. ”
Wen Feng listened weird, Instructor Du didn't like his usual style.
"Okay, let me say it directly, when I was training in D City, Guizhou Province in June last year, it rained heavily in most parts of Guizhou Province for half a month.
For this reason, our troops took precautions early and dispatched teams to various rescue and rescue teams.
The rainfall in a certain mountainous area was the highest in history, so a serious flash flood and mudslide disaster broke out in that mountainous area, and I was also stationed in the rescue team at that time, and immediately dispatched to organize rescue when I received the order for rescue and disaster relief. ”
"We were divided into five teams of 12 people each, and my team was assigned to a small village called 'Landing Village', which had more than 30 households and about 70 or 80 people, all of whom were left-behind children and the elderly.
Because most of the people there are on higher ground, the damage is not particularly serious, but there are five households living on relatively low ground, and a few elderly people are inconvenient and have not had time to move, and they are trapped in a high ground by flash floods waiting for rescue. ”
"When we arrived, we saw that the other villagers who were not besieged were all gathered at the heights, helplessly looking at a high ground protruding from the low-lying area, where there were seven or eight elderly people and children, and all the yellowing torrents were surrounded by three meters away.
There was already despair in their eyes, and there was even a child and an old grandmother crying at the houses floating in the flash flood in the distance. ”
"When they saw us coming, they all shouted excitedly, 'The soldiers have come to save us!' The whole village shouted happily.
They were wet and muddy, but they showed a smile of hope, dancing with their hands, and at that moment I was so deeply aware of my mission, that responsibility, and that sense of mission to be needed. ”
"With the unity of our comrades-in-arms and the concerted efforts of the villagers, we managed to rescue everyone to safety, and they had been trapped on that small plateau for more than five hours.
When everyone was immersed in the joy of escaping death, I saw a seven-year-old boy with a dilapidated body covered in stains holding the hand of an old grandmother, looking at the raging torrent in the low-lying area and crying silently. ”
"I walked over and asked him what was wrong, and when he saw me coming, he quickly wiped away his tears and laughed, 'Uncle soldier, thank you for saving me, grandma, and everyone!'
At that moment, my heart ached, because I saw that in order to thank us, he turned from sadness to smile, and how to hide his red eyes when he wiped away his tears? How can such a young child be so sensible. ”
"I asked him why his little brother was crying, and he looked at me for a long time before he turned around and pointed to the flood in the low-lying area, saying that his house with his grandmother had been washed away by the flood, and that there was money saved by his father in the pillow on the bed at home.
He will be able to go to school in September, but the school is far away and requires boarding and living expenses. He had just seen the pillow with living expenses floating on the surface of the water and being washed away. ”
"Later, I learned that his name is Cheng Song, seven years old, ready to go to school in September, his father is a disabled person, he used to break his leg at the construction site, and even if the construction site lost some money, all the family's savings were spent because of the medical expenses.
Cheng Song's mother couldn't stand this endless hard life and left, his father used local methods to raise him for a year, and he went out to work to support his family after being injured and lame, and Cheng Song and his grandmother were left at home. ”
Wen Feng heard this pain in his heart like being pricked by a needle, and when he heard Cheng Song's life experience, he suddenly remembered Jiaojiao, and he actually met someone with a similar life experience to Jiaojiao.
However, although Wen Feng's heart was turbulent, he still did not interrupt Instructor Du's story, and occasionally signaled that he had been listening.
"That night, I called my girlfriend to report that I was safe, and told her about Cheng Song, and I told her that I wanted to support Cheng Song to adulthood, but I didn't expect my girlfriend to refuse and say no.
At that time, my heart suddenly fell to the bottom, and I was so lost that I couldn't speak, and at that moment, a sentence came out of the phone
'I won't say yes unless you promise me to support you!' ’
I was blindfolded, and then I kissed wildly over the phone.
So do you know why I love my girlfriend so much? Because she's so good, so good that I can't describe it in words, so good that my heart jumps fast at the thought of her! ”
"So since last year, I've been taking a little bit from my monthly allowance, plus my girlfriend taking a part from my internship's salary, and keeping it in an account as a support fund.
Send some living expenses to Cheng Song's family every month, and save the rest for him to pay for future tuition. ”
Wen Feng has been listening, and his heart can't be calm anymore, it turns out that Instructor Du and his girlfriend also supported Cheng Song.
He had dinner with Instructor Du and Instructor Du's comrades-in-arms several times, and they all talked about Instructor Du and mentioned the disaster relief in Guizhou last year.
It's just very simple, there are many instructors who know about Instructor Du's disaster relief, but no one has ever mentioned Instructor Du's support for Cheng Song, and it seems that no one knows about the support.
Wenfeng believes that there are still many good people in this world, and he has always seen a lot of them on the news before, but he didn't expect to hear a good person himself talk about one today.
Why did Instructor Du tell him about this? It's definitely not to show off his kindness to him, it's to explain the process clearly so that Wenfeng can make a decision.
So Wen Feng still didn't interrupt and continued to listen.
"Because my girlfriend and I support Cheng Song, Cheng Song's family has treated us as relatives.
Every New Year's holiday, I will receive a lot of souvenirs sent from Guizhou, as well as letters written by Cheng Song to me and his transcripts.
It was full of gratitude and missing for me and my girlfriend from him and my grandmother, and kept asking when my girlfriend and I would go to see him and my grandmother, and so on.
My girlfriend and I are happy every time we read these letters, not only for the joy of helping others, but also for the joy of doing something meaningful with the people we love. ”
"Yesterday, I received another package from Guizhou, which was full of dried mushrooms, honey, dried fruits, handmade dried cakes and other local products.
I opened it as usual and took it out, but this time I didn't find the letter that Cheng Song wrote to me. So I felt that something was wrong, considering that their hometown was very backward and difficult to communicate, so I had to go to a place with a signal outside to answer the phone.
So I called the son of the village chief who left the phone number outside the town to find out about the situation at Cheng Song's family. ”
