Chapter 406 That's My Home Too
The mission had just ended when we unexpectedly encountered a typhoon.
Without a second thought, Jiang Chengzhou followed the rescue team onto the island in a small military speedboat.
To prevent seawater from flowing back in, the soldiers had to move stones and sandbags and stack them layer by layer along the seawall to temporarily raise the seawall by half a meter to one meter, blocking the gaps in the seawall that had been breached by the tide and preventing the storm surge from flooding the shore again.
Only after the embankment was reinforced did Jiang Chengzhou have time to go and have a drink of water.
Just as Jiang Chengzhou took a sip of water, he noticed that the soldiers next to him were looking at him strangely. They whispered among themselves and their eyes were all turned towards the outer edge of the dock.
He turned his head to look in the direction of those gazes.
Under the scorching sun, a pretty little girl in a white shirt was standing outside the police cordon.
The sea breeze tousled the stray hairs on her forehead. She pursed her lips, her eyes were red, and tears welled up in her eyelashes as she looked at him, just like when she was a child.
Jiang Chengzhou dropped the water ladle in his hand into the vat and ran towards it.
He said something to the sentry, then walked over to Linlin in a few steps.
The sun was blazing, and the camouflage uniform was soaked with sweat, clinging to his body in patches of dark and light colors. Jiang Chengzhou leaned down slightly and tilted his head to look at his sister's downcast face.
"Why are you crying?" Jiang Chengzhou brushed aside her bangs that had been ruffled by the wind.
Linlin looked up, her tearful eyes meeting his, and choked out, "You drank tap water again, Mom is going to scold you."
Jiang Chengzhou couldn't help but laugh out loud, patting his younger sister's head, "Our Linlin has grown into a young lady."
Linlin took a step back and looked him over.
Jiang Chengzhou has grown taller and stronger, with a sharper jawline than before. His skin has turned a wheat color, and his eyes are more composed than before, but the smile on his lips remains as warm as ever.
"You're getting old." Linlin felt sorry for her brother and deliberately teased him, but tears kept falling down her face.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chengzhou suddenly clutched his chest with one hand, feigning deep sorrow, "Your brother is clearly in the prime of his life, it's your eyes that are acting strangely."
Linlin stopped crying and started laughing.
Jiang Chengzhou breathed a sigh of relief when his younger sister stopped crying. "How are Uncle and Aunt? Where's Su Li?"
"Dad's been busy with disaster relief and hasn't come back yet, and Mom's been busy too. Su Li..." Linlin turned her head and looked around, then pouted, "Look, she's over there."
Jiang Chengzhou followed the gaze and saw Su Li catching fish in a small ditch nearby.
"Su Li!" Jiang Chengzhou called out.
Su Li turned around and ran over excitedly.
Jiang Chengzhou's eyelids twitched. "Su Li, how old are you?"
"1.4 meters tall and 76 kilograms."
Jiang Chengzhou's lips twitched. This brat, he even knows how to downplay the important points.
Jiang Chengzhou still had tasks to complete and couldn't linger too long. After chatting briefly with his younger sister and brother about the family's recent situation, he had to return to his post.
Linlin only told him that he must go home once and leave with Su Li.
As soon as Linlin left, the others surrounded Jiang Chengzhou, asking about Linlin's situation.
Here were Jiang Chengzhou's classmates and his comrades-in-arms, people who were usually so close they could share a pair of pants, but Jiang Chengzhou rejected them all.
His sister is going to be a scientist, and these ordinary people are not good enough for her.
Su Lang hadn't been home for two days, while Lin Zhilan, after a busy day and night, finally returned home.
The first floor was flooded, but the water has now been drained, leaving only the smell of mugwort.
After eating a couple of bites, Lin Zhilan asked about Jiang Chengzhou.
Linlin served food to her mother, pursing her lips as she said, "My brother said they still need to go into the mountains to check for potential dangers, and they'll try to come home once the mission is complete."
There is a reservoir and a water storage pond on the mountain of the island, which are used to store fresh water.
The typhoon brought torrential rain, and the water level approached the warning line.
If the spillway is blocked, the dam can easily break, causing flash floods and landslides.
Jiang Chengzhou also had to go with the troops to guard the reservoir, clear weeds and silt from the spillway, and divert floodwaters when necessary.
Lin Zhilan was relieved to know that Jiang Chengzhou was safe and sound, and finally regained her appetite, eating an extra bowl of rice.
The next morning, Lin Zhilan had to rush to the hospital to work again.
Linlin and Su Li discussed it and packed a bunch of food and nutritional supplements before heading into the mountains along the mountain path.
Looking down from the top of the mountain, one sees many parts of the island devastated.
A soldier spotted the siblings and shouted, "What are you doing? It's dangerous here, get down the mountain right now!"
Su Li stood in front of her sister, saying, "We're here to find someone."
"Who should I look for?"
"Jiang Chengzhou," Linlin said, taking her brother's arm. "I'm his sister, and I want to give him something."
The soldier approached and saw Linlin's face clearly.
Yesterday, Linlin went to the dock to look for Jiang Chengzhou. She only showed her face briefly, but the news had already spread throughout their team.
"Wait here for a moment, I'll go get someone."
A moment later, Jiang Chengzhou came running over, covered in mud. "What are you two doing here?"
Linlin handed him the things in her hand, "These are for you."
Jiang Chengzhou took it from a distance, scolding, "Disobedient! This place is so dirty and dangerous!"
He had been wearing the same clothes for several days, and it was the end of July, the hottest time on the island.
These clothes get wet and dry repeatedly, and they even smell sour.
Linlin pinched her nose. "You smell terrible. There are clean clothes in your bag, your old ones. Go change."
Jiang Chengzhou wanted to personally escort them down the mountain, so he led them to the shed he had built.
He let the siblings sit in the shed, then took the clothes and a bucket of water to a small shed outside, which was enclosed by banana leaves. He quickly washed himself and changed his clothes and shoes.
Taking advantage of this time, Linlin took out the malted milk powder from her bag, sandwiched some jam made by Lin Zhilan between two pieces of dry bread, and handed it to Jiang Chengzhou as soon as he came out. "Brother, eat something quickly."
Jiang Chengzhou was indeed hungry. He put down his dirty clothes, wiped his hands, and took the food to eat.
He could tell from the first bite that it was made by Lin Zhilan, and his eyes narrowed.
Su Li watched from the side, swallowing hard.
Jiang Chengzhou looked at him, "You want to eat too?"
Su Li nodded and chuckled.
"You're dreaming." Jiang Chengzhou grinned mischievously.
He hasn't eaten his aunt's cooking in so many years. Su Li is home every day, and he still wants to freeload off her? Dream on!
Su Li's goodwill towards his brother instantly plummeted a thousandfold. He snorted, "I have some at home."
Jiang Chengzhou ruffled his hair. "That's my home too."
Su Li pursed her lips, offering no rebuttal.
The two brothers were bickering when Linlin got up and looked around their row of small sheds.
They simply built a makeshift bed out of tree branches; there wasn't even a bed. They just laid their raincoats on the ground, and that was their bed.
As for meals, they simply built a stove, placed two bundles of firewood in front of it, and a few bags of grain and lunch boxes on a stone next to it.
