Chapter 38

Ma Xiaohong looked around outside, but came back again after seeing no one.

Gui Xiang hurriedly wiped away her tears, it was too late to pull her hands back.Ma Xiaohong's eyes widened and she bluffed and said: "Guixiang, why did you ignore me, and made me search around. Why is this person holding on to your hand?"

Guixiang hesitated for a long time without answering, so Xiaohong pulled her away: "Let's go, is there a shortage of people over there? Don't forget the original intention of our coming here."

Gui Xiang nodded, and carefully buried the man's hands under the quilt.

When Gui Xiang came back from a busy circle, Hou Chunsheng had already woken up, but the ward was full of people, Gui Xiang knew that it was not the right time to see him now, so she should go when she came back earlier tomorrow.

Guixiang and Xiaohong arrived at the county hospital early the next morning. She used the excuse of going to the toilet to go to the ward, but there was no one else but a nurse who was rounding the ward. "Where are the patients in this ward yesterday?"

"Oh, I developed a fever last night and was transferred to the Provincial Military Hospital overnight."

Guixiang was like a deflated ball for a while, but she temporarily forgot about that person when she left the door, that was his responsibility...

That afternoon, Qu Yang also sent a group of injured patients, and Gui Xiang followed the doctor all the way in and out, without any slack.

The rain finally stopped. Shan Fuman's intestines turned green these days, and Li Hongying sold all the food stored at home. It's raining, how can there be a harvest in the field, what should I do next year.Why didn't he listen to his daughter?
Compared with Shan Fuman, Ma Fuyuan was more worried that so many people in the village would have to carry their stomachs after eating up all the food stored at home. If there was chaos at that time, he would not be safe when he went to Yushui.

Li Hongying didn't dare to cook more rice these days, and mixed half of the sweet potatoes in every meal.Her stomach was not good at all, and after eating sweet potatoes for several days, her face turned pale.

On the fourth day, Guixiang put down her chopsticks and said to Li Hongying, "Mother, let's put more rice tomorrow."

"What?" Shan Fuman looked at his daughter.

Guixiang squinted her eyes and smiled: "The food at home is still enough."

Gui Ping admired his sister's decision more and more, everything was watertight and just right. He still remembered that his eyes popped out when he heard that Gui Xiang would spend money to buy his own rice.Her sister deliberately didn't bring out the food a few days ago, and she also had her intentions.

But the lucky ones are only Guixiang's family. How can those families who have not had enough to eat in the past have any food left?She vaguely remembered that people in the village really starved to death the next year.Guixiang is not a holy mother, but she can't see others starving to death. The reason why she chooses Ma Fuyuan's house to sell food is just to hope that he can save these people.

Hou Chunsheng was transferred to the provincial military doctor for three days before his fever subsided and the wound on his back healed, and he returned to the team.The work after the disaster was more serious than before. The weather was hot, bacteria grew wildly, and mosquitoes were more severe than before.The tents they lived in were in a higher place, and it was inconvenient to drink water. Some soldiers who did not have common sense wanted to drink water from the river, and that night they developed a fever.

Chunsheng hurriedly reported to the higher-ups and issued an urgent order: "No one is allowed to drink the raw water in the river."

After the flood, there was a high incidence of malaria. They had to deal with the dead while taking care of the living.Since the disaster relief, Hou Chunsheng has only slept for three hours a day. I don't know if it is his illusion, but he always feels that he has seen Guixiang recently.

After that, the wound on Chunsheng's back broke open several times, and he developed a low-grade fever for several days.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the disaster relief activities for more than two months have finally come to an end. In July, the team had a training camp, and they went back to the team without even going home.

The wheat in Shuitang Village has been soaked in big water, and the yield is extremely low.Fortunately, after summer came, the weather became more normal, but the long-term lazy habit of collective development was still there. Anyway, it’s the same as doing more work and less work. Who is willing to do more?
This is exactly what Ma Fuyuan is worried about.

Shan Guixiang often went to Ma Xiaohong's house recently, and seeing Ma Fuyuan in a daze, she tugged at Xiaohong's sleeve and asked, "Uncle, what's wrong?"

Ma Xiaohong sighed and said, "Last year's production cost in the production team was not good, and the budget was overrun during the spring season. Now that the flood has caused trouble, it is even more difficult. My father is worried about this, but I can't help him. Share your worries."

Guixiang knew where the root of this matter was, and suddenly remembered the land that had been silted up on the river ridge after the flood. When the fields were distributed to households, her family got a piece of land, but it is still wasteland now. If it can be gathered...

Guixiang deliberately took Ma Xiaohong there after school that day, saying that a field grew by the river.When Ma Xiaohong got there, she was stunned. The place where the river bank and the farmland bordered was full of weeds, and no one had ever planted crops on the river bank. This time, the mud was brought to the bank and dried by the sun. Mixed on the bank of the river, at a glance, it looks like the bottom of a pond that has just dried up, flat and fertile.

Guixiang just reminded: "If crops can grow here, no one in our village will be hungry."

"I have to hurry back and ask my dad to come and take a look at this place!" Xiaohong ran home in a hurry, completely ignoring the rotten soil under her feet.
