Chapter 1116: Worried
Jiang Xue walked over to the sofa and sat down, then watched Little Reunion play happily. She reached out and gently pinched his cheek. Seeing her son ignoring her, she got up to have dinner.
After eating, Jiang Xue had nothing to do, so she went straight to the sofa to watch TV. As she was watching, a news flash made Jiang Xue worried.
The news reported that due to continuous heavy rains in the South, many areas had already been washed away by the rain. Farmlands were submerged, houses destroyed, and some people were even rendered homeless. The news called for everyone to donate money and goods, and even showed the presence of the People’s Liberation Army in some places.
After seeing this news, Jiang Xue felt uneasy and turned to Mu Qiancheng, asking, "Qian Cheng, if the South keeps raining and a flood happens, will the students from your military academy have to go?"
"It’s not clear right now. If the higher-ups require it, then naturally we have to go. Of course, it’s also possible that some people will volunteer." Mu Qiancheng glanced at the news on TV, frowning slightly.
The rain in the South has lasted too long this time, and if it continues, it will surely lead to flooding. Once a flood occurs, the losses will be significant. As soldiers of the people, if the disaster is severe, they will definitely have to go for flood control and disaster relief.
Listening to Mu Qiancheng, Jiang Xue’s anxiety did not settle. Instead, she felt even more uneasy. She frowned, trying hard to recall things from her past life.
Around this time in her past life, she remembered a flood occurred too, and many people died. Many of those disaster-relief comrades from the People’s Liberation Army also sacrificed a lot.
At the most critical time of the disaster, it seemed like the comrades from the People’s Liberation Army jumped into the water, forming a human wall with their bodies to block the flood.
These are things she did not see with her own eyes, only heard from others. She wasn’t sure about the specific details.
In her past life, because she didn’t like Mu Qiancheng, she wasn’t concerned about such matters. However, Cheng Li would occasionally mention it to her.
As for whether Mu Qiancheng participated in the disaster relief at that time, she didn’t know. So now, she’s worried about whether Mu Qiancheng will take part. If he does, will it be dangerous?
Mu Qiancheng looked at Jiang Xue in silence, knowing she was worried. He said, "Xue’er, don’t worry, everything will be fine."
Jiang Xue nodded, then earnestly said to Mu Qiancheng, "If you can avoid going, try not to."
"Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing." Mu Qiancheng pulled Jiang Xue into his arms. He knew Jiang Xue was worried about him. But being a soldier, it’s their duty to protect the nation. Wherever there’s a need, they must go. It’s not a question of whether they go or not.
As long as the country gives the order, they must go even if it leads to death. However, flood control and disaster relief is not a death mission, but a task to protect the safety of the people’s property and serve the people. How can they not go?
This, Mu Qiancheng did not tell Jiang Xue, as he believed Jiang Xue understood it deep down. He only said that out of worry for him.
With weighed-down thoughts, Jiang Xue couldn’t keep watching the TV. She told Mu Qiancheng and went back to her room. Upon returning, she entered her space directly.
Even though she just understood Mu Qiancheng’s intention, knowing he would definitely go if ordered from above. She wanted to stop him but knew it was impossible.
Since that’s the case, she could only prepare some things in advance for Mu Qiancheng to take, just in case.
