Chapter 1018: Ghost Town Dongshan? What's going on?
"Nannan, what's wrong? What happened?"
The old man had a light sleep, and after a while Zhu Qiuju heard the noise and got up and put on her clothes.
Several people sitting at the door of Li's house all stood up instantly.
"Mom, it's okay. Why did you get up?" Li Xiangnan scratched his head embarrassedly.
"It's all right! You can't even lie anymore! You were knocking on the door and making phone calls late at night, and I was listening from next door!" Zhu Qiuju looked at her son distressedly, then looked at Defa Leijin and others who were smiling at her, and advised: "Although it's hot, it's cool at night, come sit inside!"
"Auntie, no need, it's okay! We'll just sit here for a while and leave soon!" Wang Defa waved his hand and smiled apologetically.
Zhu Qiuju looked at the few people.
"Aunt, it's okay!" Lei Jin also smiled shamelessly.
"Mom, go to sleep. I just have to go on a business trip tomorrow morning, so I asked them to wait here! It's really nothing!"
Li Xiangnan naturally didn't want his mother to worry. It was already two o'clock. Most elderly people couldn't stand staying up late, and he didn't want to wake his mother up.
"Well, is Ruobai asleep?" Zhu Qiuju looked into the room with concern again and listened to his wife's movements.
"Mom, I put her to bed! She's fine!"
"That's fine!" Zhu Qiuju turned around and fetched two stools from the house, "Xiao Fang, you and Xiao Shui should sit down too! The ground is cool!"
"Okay, Auntie!"
Not knowing how prepared Huang Ninglei was, Li Xiangnan simply leaned against the wooden door and chatted with a few others while waiting.
Obviously, the ministry needed to borrow some important materials from 301, so the call was made to Lin Weimin.
Li Xiangnan didn't want to let the Lin family's children know that Lin Jianzhou was in Dongshan County, but now that they knew, they would inevitably worry again!
But in the whole of Yanjing, there are only a few large hospitals including 301 that can quickly cooperate with the Ministry of Health to urgently call for supplies. Some advanced diagnostic and treatment equipment still has to be obtained from military hospitals, and other civilian hospitals really have no choice.
But I didn't expect that I would wait until six o'clock.
When Huang Ninglei led Lin Muyu and Lin Weimin hurriedly into the yard, Li Xiangnan and others were drinking porridge.
"Captain Huang, are you all set?"
Seeing him, Li Xiangnan hurried over to meet him.
"Thanks to the Xiaolin brothers and sisters, they helped contact several hospitals in the middle of the night! The department's emergency reserve warehouse has also been activated! This time we brought two trucks of various instruments and medical supplies..."
At this point, Huang Ninglei's face suddenly froze, as if he was afraid that Li Xiangnan would say something he didn't want to hear, and he said with a complicated expression: "Xiao Li, is this enough?"
As he spoke, he took out a list of medical supplies from his shirt pocket and handed it over.
After Li Xiangnan took it, he patted his arm and shouted to Lin Muyu and Lin Weimin, "Eat some breakfast first, I'll take a look!"
"Okay!" Several people agreed.
Lin Muyu hurried into the room and saw Qin Ruobai and Li's mother Zhu Qiuju busy steaming buns, so she hurried over to help.
"Mu Yu is here!" Qin Ruobai was very enthusiastic when he saw her. He pulled her to the edge of the table and said, "Hurry up and sit down. I'll make you some porridge!"
"Thank you!" Lin Muyu felt a little embarrassed, her face turned red, and she looked at her second brother.
"Auntie! Xiao Qin!" Lin Weimin also quickly smiled politely and wanted to go over to help carry the steamer.
"Wei Min, please sit down! Eat first! You've been busy all night!" Zhu Qiuju refused and persuaded him to go back to the table.
After Lin Weimin sat down, he saw that people inside and outside the house were eating. It was only six o'clock. He guessed that Zhu Qiuju and Qin Ruobai probably didn't sleep well in the middle of the night. He felt really bad.
"Aunt, I'm so sorry!"
Zhu Qiuju picked up two steamed buns and put them in a bowl, passing it to him, and said with a smile: "Your father is so old, but he is still concerned about the country's health. When someone dies, it's only right to call Xiangnan! If Nannan can make some contributions to society, we would also be happy to see it! There's nothing wrong with that!"
Lin Weimin and his sister looked at each other and scratched their heads embarrassedly.
"Mu Yu, you should also persuade your father to take more care of his health! His health is not good to begin with, and staying up late will make it even worse!" Zhu Qiuju gave him a few more reminders.
"I know, Auntie!" Lin Muyu could tell that the words were full of sincerity, "You too!"
Qin Ruobai took out a jar of pickles from under the bed, opened it, and scooped a lot of pickles into the bowls for Lin Weimin and his sister. He smiled and said, "I knew you wanted this! Hurry and eat more!"
"This is great! Xiao Qin, you are so right. I have been thinking about it for a long time!" Lin Weimin's eyes lit up, but as he lowered his head to eat the pickled beans, he inexplicably thought of his sister Lin Chuqiao again. He felt his throat a little hot, and he didn't know if it was because of the hot porridge.
Qin Ruobai smiled, and ran out to scoop beans for the people in the yard, and helped her mother-in-law to distribute steamed buns to them. Seeing a group of people eating in a hurry, she felt very distressed, but there was nothing she could do.
"Have you finished eating?"
After a while, Huang Ninglei finished eating, waited for a while, and then asked everyone.
Everyone nodded and started packing their bags.
"Section Chief Huang!" Zhu Qiuju led her daughter-in-law out and stuffed net bags into everyone's hands. "Take these steamed buns. You will have to stay up late these days, so don't let your stomach suffer!"
Huang Ninglei didn't want it at first, but Li Xiangnan didn't give him a chance to refuse. "Fatty, Brother Lei, take them all with you. We don't know what the mission will be like this time!"
"Okay!" The fat man grabbed the net bags one by one, gathered them together, and carried them on his back with Lei Jin.
Huang Ninglei had no choice but to accept it: "Thanks, Xiangnan's mother!"
"Mom, I'm leaving!" Li Xiangnan waved his hand, and everyone filed out. He then told his wife, "I'm not here, please take care of the house! I'm leaving!"
There was no extra time to say goodbye, Li Xiangnan left almost as soon as he said this.
After leaving the yard and going out of the alley, I saw three trucks parked on the side of the road.
There were two carriages for supplies and one for people, so everyone had to squeeze into the carriage. There was no other way because there were just too many people.
At six o'clock in the morning, a red sun is shyly poking its head out from the eastern sky. The golden light penetrates the mist, like a warrior's sword, fearlessly cutting through the long night, heralding the beginning of a new day.
Li Xiangnan and others stood or sat and watched the Yanjing City gradually change from magnificent to as small as a bean in their field of vision, and finally disappear completely.
The city roads were gradually replaced by mountain village trails.
When the strange fishing port town came into view, everyone felt an inexplicable pressure, and the world seemed to be shrouded in a thick haze.
This legendary small county town, even if it only has 50,000 or 60,000 people, should have been thriving.
At this moment, there was no one on the street...
