Chapter 180 There's a problem with supplies in the disaster area.
After hesitating for a moment, Sun Mei took the letter and had no choice but to go and send money home.
Fortunately, Zhu Chao had given her a lot of money before, so she sent some of it back.
Even though she was here, she missed her son.
After all, it's a child she carried for ten months and gave birth to; how could she possibly ignore it?
She even considered bringing her son over to study here, but she had to wait for Zhu Chao to come back and discuss it with him.
After Wang's wife took Xiaoya back, she cooked her a new meal.
Although Xiaoya was bullied by Zhu Wenying today, she never expected that her mother would hit her grandmother for her sake.
Back when we were at home, no matter how my grandmother treated them, my mother always put up with it.
This time, she seemed like a completely different person.
This kind of mother is like a gentle aunt, making her feel very safe, and she likes her very much.
"Little girl, if the Zhu family dares to bully you again, just call me," Sister-in-law Wang instructed Little Girl.
The little girl nodded. "I understand, Mom."
Mom isn't afraid of Grandma anymore, and she won't be afraid anymore either. If Grandma dares to bully her again, she'll fight back.
While we were having dinner, the radio broadcast the latest situation in Chongqing. The news reported that the flooding in Chongqing was still escalating, and the military personnel who had been deployed there were making every effort to participate in the rescue work.
Because of the torrential rain that has lasted for almost a month, traffic has been severely blocked, and the affected areas have suffered heavy losses. Rescue workers are waiting for supplies, but because the roads are blocked, the supplies cannot be delivered in the short term.
Upon hearing this, Wenrou slowed down her eating, her eyes filled with unconcealed worry.
Huo Yanchuan has been gone for a week now.
She hadn't received any news from him during the past week and didn't know how he was doing.
However, this is not surprising. With such a severe flood in Chongqing, communication equipment must have been affected, so it is normal that no message was received from Huo Yanchuan.
Seeing Wenrou's serious expression, Li Xiuying and Liu Xiaoyu knew that she must be worried about Huo Yanchuan again.
Liu Xiaoyu was afraid that Wenrou would worry too much, so she reached out and turned off the radio.
"Xiaorou, don't worry, Commander Huo will definitely be alright. Don't listen to what they say on the news, those reports are just scaremongering people," Liu Xiaoyu said, placing her hand on Rourou's shoulder to comfort her.
She nodded gently, said nothing, and continued eating her meal with her head down.
She remembered that in her previous life, due to the scarcity of resources, many people did not disappear because they were swept away by floods, but because they starved to death.
The military can't even get supplies in, let alone the disaster victims.
They had no food, and their homes were destroyed, so it's normal for riots to break out.
In order to survive, they looted military supplies, which meant that soldiers not only faced the danger of flood fighting every day, but also had to work on an empty stomach.
In this way, the body cannot hold out for long, and if one's strength fails, there is a risk of being swept away by the flood.
Although Wenrou had not experienced it herself, she had heard about this news in her previous life.
Many soldiers participated in the disaster relief efforts at the time, but nearly half of them went missing or were injured.
Thinking about this always made Wenrou feel a vague unease.
She finished her rice in a few bites, then said to Li Xiuying and Liu Xiaoyu, "Mom, sister-in-law, I'm going out for a bit. I'll leave the house to you for now."
"Hey, it's so late, where are you going?" Li Xiuying called out to Wenrou behind her.
Wenrou left the family compound and went straight to the military base.
She was worried about Huo Yanchuan. Whenever she thought of the soldiers who had been swept away by the flood in her previous life, she couldn't help but worry.
The most important reason is that the soldiers who went to participate in disaster relief were trapped inside and lost contact with the military. The supplies that were supposed to be given to them were stolen, and the people outside did not know the actual situation inside, so the best opportunity for rescue was lost.
If they could contact the people inside and get in time to send another wave of supplies, and find a way to get them in, they wouldn't have been swept away by the flood and died due to exhaustion.
They were all young soldiers with brighter futures ahead of them, and they shouldn't have to sacrifice themselves in this way.
When Wenrou arrived at the entrance of the military base, she was stopped by the soldiers on guard duty.
"I just received an emergency call from the disaster area and I need to see Political Commissar Zhao." Wenrou explained her purpose to the sentry at the door, hoping that Political Commissar Zhao would still be there at this time.
Although Wenrou is a military dependent, she is not allowed to join the military unless there are special circumstances.
The guard reported the situation to his superiors and learned that Political Commissar Zhao was discussing important matters with Division Commander Tan, so he wanted Wenrou to go back first.
Wenrou didn't rush to leave; she waited at the door.
She won't leave today unless she sees a leader in the military.
"Sister-in-law, you should go back first. It's cold at night, and it's not good for you to stand here waiting." The guard said with some pity when he saw Wenrou still standing there waiting, her clothes still very thin.
Wenrou shook her head. "No need. This matter is urgent. I need to report it to the political commissar and division commander immediately."
If she goes back now, she probably won't be able to sleep at night.
After speaking gently, she waited in the same spot for a while, until around 11 p.m., when she finally saw the division commander and political commissar walking towards the door.
Commander Tan came here this time because of flood relief. Although Huo Yanchuan had already led people to the rescue, they had been out of contact with the outside world for several days due to the heavy rain.
They are currently trying to find a solution to the problem, but they are unclear about the details.
"With Yan Chuan leading the team this time, there shouldn't be any major problems. Let's relax." Political Commissar Zhao and Division Commander Tan were talking as they reached the door.
Commander Tan nodded; he naturally trusted Huo Yanchuan's abilities.
His car was parked at the entrance, and just as he was about to turn around and get in, someone called out to him.
"Commander Tan, Political Commissar Zhao," a gentle voice came from the side.
Upon hearing the sound, both of them looked in her direction.
Political Commissar Zhao knew Wenrou, but this was the first time he had met Division Commander Tan.
"Comrade, you are...?" Commander Tan looked at Wenrou, not expecting that someone would be waiting for them at the door so late.
Before Wenrou could speak, Political Commissar Zhao introduced her, "This is Xiao Huo's wife, Comrade Wenrou."
"So you're Yan Chuan's wife! You're quite something! I've heard so much about you back in the General Military Region." Commander Tan praised you with a gentle smile after hearing the introduction.
The stories of Wenrou's past deeds had already reached the General Military Region, and the leaders were quite curious about Huo Yanchuan's wife.
"Catching spies and defusing bombs at the same time, this is truly extraordinary." Commander Tan looked at Wenrou with admiration in his eyes.
If she were a man, she would definitely have achieved great things in the army.
"Xiao Rou, what are you doing here so late?" As an elder, Political Commissar Zhao asked with concern when he saw Wen Rou.
Wenrou's expression was very serious. She looked at the two leaders and hurriedly said, "The situation on Huo Yanchuan's side is very urgent. I request to apply for support."
Upon hearing the gentle words, the expressions on the faces of the two leaders changed.
"Where did you get this information from?" Political Commissar Zhao asked, puzzled.
They were just talking about losing contact with Huo Yanchuan, and Wenrou got the news so quickly?
"I dreamt about it," Wenrou said earnestly.
After all, there's even less basis for her saying anything else.
If even the military leaders hadn't received the news, there was even less chance she would have any news.
However, she and Huo Yanchuan are husband and wife, and sometimes the telepathic connection between husband and wife may sound unbelievable, but it can often save lives.
After she finished speaking, not only did the expressions on the faces of the two leaders become somewhat subtle, but even the two guards behind them felt that her gentleness was too outrageous.
She called two leaders late at night saying she had urgent news, was it all because she was dreaming?
If it were anyone else, they would probably just ignore Wenrou and kick her out.
However, these two leaders were not ordinary people either, especially Commander Tan, who had led his troops to many battlefields before and had seen all kinds of situations, big and small.
Political Commissar Zhao also knew Wenrou well; she wouldn't joke around in such a situation.
Moreover, when she defused the explosion and captured the two spies, he had asked Huo Yanchuan about it.
Huo Yanchuan also told him that it was something Wenrou dreamed about.
At the time, he thought Huo Yanchuan was joking, but now, hearing Wenrou say this, his expression turned serious.
Wenrou wasn't sure if the two leaders would trust her, but she had to give it a try.
"Commander Tan, Political Commissar Zhao, the situation in Huo Yanchuan is critical. Their supplies have all been looted. If we don't send new supplies soon, their strength won't last much longer."
Wenrou told them about Huo Yanchuan's current situation and hoped that they could prepare for a rescue as soon as possible.
After listening to what Wenrou said, the two looked at each other.
"If what Xiaorou said is true, then their situation over there is indeed very urgent," Political Commissar Zhao said at this moment.
No matter what, as leaders, they absolutely cannot allow their subordinates to encounter any accidents.
Commander Tan looked at Wenrou, his brows furrowed, and then said, "I can prepare supplies for you, but how are you going to transport them?"
The first group of people who delivered the supplies have not yet returned, and it is already too late to wait for them to come back.
More than half of the troops have gone to the rescue operation, and the troops are in dire need of manpower right now. Who can take on the task of transporting supplies is indeed a problem.
"As long as you can provide me with enough supplies, I can find a way to transport them to the disaster area," Wenrou said earnestly, looking at the two leaders.
Although her transport team was newly formed, she was confident that she could lead them to complete the mission.
Besides, the other members of the transport team are all veterans, and their physical fitness is excellent.
In this situation, it is actually most appropriate for them to complete this task.
Hearing Wenrou's words and seeing the confident look on her face, he was stunned.
In order to get them to agree, Wenrou told them about her plan to establish a transport team.
"I've heard Xiao Huo mention the transport team before, but I didn't expect you to actually be able to set it up?" Political Commissar Zhao asked in surprise.
He knew that Wenrou could drive a truck, so the only feasible solution now was to have Wenrou make the trip.
"Okay, I promise you." Before Political Commissar Zhao could say anything, Division Commander Tan agreed.
"Young comrade, I'll have someone prepare the supplies for you tomorrow. I hope you can keep your word and deliver the supplies safely to the disaster area," Commander Tan said to Wenrou with a serious expression.
"I guarantee I'll complete the mission," Wenrou replied loudly.
At this moment, the two guards standing behind them were dumbfounded.
Are they mentally deranged, or have both leaders gone mad?
Just because Huo Tuan's lover had a dream that the supplies were stolen, they actually agreed to let her lead people to transport the supplies?
This is outrageous!
Huo and his men are soldiers; who would dare to rob their supplies?
However, these were orders from the two leaders, and they dared not question them.
After receiving the order, Wenrou rushed home and began tidying up.
"Where are you going?" Li Xiuying asked with a puzzled look when she saw Wenrou packing her luggage.
Upon hearing the noise, Liu Xiaoyu also came out of the house.
"Xiaorou, is something wrong?"
She sensed something was wrong during dinner tonight. It was so late, and seeing Wenrou packing her luggage made them feel uneasy.
"Mom, sister-in-law, I'll be away for a few days. I'll leave the two kids and the house to you for now."
Wenrou looked at them with a serious expression and told them everything that needed to be explained.
Although Li Xiuying usually favored boys over girls and seemed unreliable, she realized at this moment that something might have happened.
So he nodded and replied, "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on the two children. Nothing will happen to them."
Liu Xiaoyu, also somewhat worried, said, "Take good care of yourself and come back soon."
After gently packing her luggage, Wenrou went to check on her two daughters in the house. Seeing that they were sleeping soundly, she lowered her head and gently kissed their cheeks before turning away with a reluctant expression.
Jiang Yan was asleep at this time. Wenrou went to his room to check on him, gently rubbed his face, and then got up and left.
With Li Xiuying around, she wasn't worried that anything would happen to Jiang Yan.
After leaving the house, Wenrou took a flashlight and rode her bicycle to the transport team.
Everyone was still asleep when they heard a knock on the door. Wu Li, leaning on his cane, walked over and opened the door.
"Sister-in-law, what brings you here?" He was also surprised to see Wenrou.
"Gather everyone immediately, I have something important to announce," Wenrou said with a serious expression.
