Mixed in the last days as a salted fish

Chapter 99 The Return
At lunch time, the whole family sat together and ate dumplings.

The twins ate a dumpling with each mouthful, and they ate heartily. The brothers grew up by the sea and were used to seafood for a long time.

"Oh, I'm so hungry."

Zhang Jiaqi, who was wearing a military overcoat, suddenly broke in from the outside. Without saying a word, she reached out and grabbed a dumpling from her nephew's bowl and threw it into her mouth.

"Wow, sister-in-law is back!"

The twins seemed particularly excited.

Seeing this, Li Dajuan immediately stood up, and said with a distressed face: "Isn't the road in the city open? Why are you coming back now?"

I haven't seen her for more than a month. Not only has my little daughter lost a lot of weight, but she also has chilblains on her face and hands, as if she was fleeing a disaster.

If it wasn't for the presence of her in-laws, she would have shed tears. Her daughter had never suffered such a serious crime since she was a child.

"Oh...it's delicious, don't mention it, I'm too busy with work, and I can't ask for leave at all. If Governor Li just passed by this time, it's not easy for me to be a girl, so I specially granted me a half-day leave."

After Zhang Jiaqi finished speaking, she picked up a few more dumplings.

"Aren't you that press spokesman? The TV is off, what are you busy with?"

Li Dajuan couldn't help complaining.

"Mom, you don't know how serious the disaster in the urban area is. Everyone in the state capital has been sent out, either to the front-line rescue team or in charge of logistics support. Where are there idlers? Huh..."

"Hurry up and drink some water, don't choke."

Zhang Chongxin handed over a cup of tea.

"Well, I'm so thirsty!"

Zhang Jiaqi took the water glass and immediately "gudong" a few times.

Zhang Hao tried to inquire: "Third sister, what's going on in the city? Can you tell us in detail?"

"Actually, I don't know much about it, but it's certain that the disaster was severe. The community I'm in charge of is in good condition, but dozens of people were killed or injured, not to mention other hard-hit areas."

"How did you get hurt? Didn't the city build a temporary shelter?" Zhang Hao wondered.

"Well, not everyone is willing to go to a shelter. There are still quite a few people who choose to stay at home. Some of them died when they fell asleep, some of them were poisoned by carbon monoxide due to careless heating, and some directly caused a fire. There are all kinds of reasons."

"It's really self-inflicted, no wonder the officials."

Li Dajuan sighed.

Immediately afterwards, he turned around and went into the kitchen to help his little daughter fill up a large plate of dumplings.

Zhang Chongxin felt sorry for his youngest daughter: "Third brother, how is your life there? Would you like your brother to say hello to Governor Li and ask for a few days off for you?"

"No, I'm actually fine. Except for the longer time, the task is not too heavy. As for life, although the conditions are a bit poor, there is still no problem with eating and drinking."

Zhang Jiaqi quickly shook her head.

During this time, she has learned a lot and met many new colleagues and friends. Everyone is working together to provide disaster relief. She does not want to be a deserter.

"Hey, look at your cold. I knew it was the situation today. I shouldn't have let you go to the state capital. It's all because of your brother's blind idea. It would be better to stay at home."

Li Dajuan couldn't help nagging.

Zhang Jiaqi took the dumplings from her mother, and immediately started to gobble them up: "Mom, this matter has nothing to do with Xiaohao. Besides, I am an adult and am afraid of suffering? The youngest volunteer in our group is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and he is busy with me every day." I was busy up and down, and never said a word of bitterness."

"Hey, Mom, it's said in the books that you can be a master if you endure hardships. Third sister has performed well this time, so she will be promoted quickly. There is nothing in this world that you can get something for nothing." Zhang Hao defended.

"What do you know? She's a girl, what kind of official will she be promoted to? It's best to be safe."

Li Dajuan said unhappily.

Zhang Chongxin frowned. He had a long-term view and must be on his son's side: "Okay, let's not say a few words. It's rare that the third child knows how to make progress. It's fine if you don't support it. Don't hold back?"

"I'm dragging my feet?" Li Dajuan suddenly lost her temper, pointing at her little daughter and shouting: "Look at what this has become? You two are cruel, and you don't know how to love others. I, a mother, suffer No."

After speaking, I couldn't help wiping away tears.

"Old Li, Jiaqi finally came back, don't be angry."

"My mother, Lao Zhang didn't mean that."

Mother Zhou and Aunt Lisa quickly comforted her.

Zhang Jiaqi didn't care about eating, and immediately hugged her mother's arm and said coquettishly: "Mom, I'm just frostbite, it's not serious at all, it will be fine after a while, don't worry, just smile."

"You can still laugh? You didn't look very good-looking at first, but now it's better, it's as cold as a monkey's butt, and it's even uglier." Li Dajuan nags.

"Mom, you can scold me for anything, but you can't call me ugly. I'm going to lose my face."

Zhang Jiaqi pretended to be angry.

"Pfft..." Zhang Hao quickly covered his mouth, and then left the seat: "Sister San, there is frostbite medicine at home, I'll go find it for you."

"No need, medicine has been issued from above."

Zhang Jiaqi waved her hand.

Li Dajuan sighed: "Stop talking, hurry up and eat! Looking at you like this, you know that the usual food must not be good. I will help you pack some food and clothes, and you will take them away later."

Her arms couldn't hold her thighs, and the whole family supported her, so it was useless for her to object.

"Lao Li, let me help you."

Mother Zhou and Aunt Lisa followed and left.

……

In less than 5 minutes, Zhang Jiaqi directly finished a plate of dumplings, and finally grabbed the millet porridge from Big Pudding.

"Is it enough? There is still in the pot."

"Dad, I'm full."

Zhang Jiaqi patted her belly with a smile.

Zhang Chongxin nodded, and asked casually:

"Did you drive back alone?"

Hearing this, Zhang Jiaqi immediately reacted: "No, I forgot about Xiao Tao."

"Who is Xiao Tao?"

"Xiao Tao is my colleague. Uncle Li was worried about me being alone, so he specially asked Tao Junlin to send me back. I was only focused on eating dumplings and forgot about him."

Zhang Jiaqi hammered her head angrily.

"You child, where is Xiaotao now?"

Zhang Chongxin hurriedly asked.

What the younger daughter did was too rude.

"It should still be in the yard, but he is too, too thin-skinned, just come in!"

After Zhang Jiaqi finished speaking, she ran towards the gate.

Zhang Hao and others followed closely behind.

In the yard, Tao Junlin was standing beside the car, not daring to move. In front of him were sitting two big golden retrievers baring their teeth, looking very aggressive.

"Egg yolk, toffee, come back quickly."

Zhang Jiaqi hurried over and took away the two dogs.

Zhang Chongxin apologized: "Young man, didn't you scare me? Don't worry, our dogs don't bite people, so don't be nervous."

"It's all right, uncle."

Tao Junlin breathed a sigh of relief for an instant, and then reached out to wipe the sweat on his forehead.
