Sun Chan was busy preparing for the wedding. Right until the day before the wedding, Gu Junming invited Sun Chan for a al, and after hesitating for half a day, he finally spoke his mind. He even dared not look into Sun Chan’s eyes.
Who knew Sun Chan would only be silent for a mont before saying, "Then let’s leave it. Wait until you have a break to go out, but when will you be back?"
"Hmm, when the flood season ends, maybe end of August."
Sun Chan smiled, "Good, I’ll still be on sumr vacation. We can have so ti to play then."
Gu Junming held her hand, "I’m sorry, I really just..."
"I don’t bla you. You’re a soldier; it’s your duty. Your matters are of great importance; I wouldn’t say anything." Sun Chan comforted him instead, "Just be very careful! Water and fire are ruthless; don’t be too impulsive when doing things. It’s most important to protect yourself."
Gu Junming smiled, "I understand. I will be careful for you too, wait for my return."
Sun Chan was actually worried sick; water and fire are ruthless, not to ntion floods! Just a small mistake and one could be swept away, losing life, leading to misfortune.
Gu Junming said, "I’m already married, I won’t be so reckless."
Sun Chan responded with a "Hmm" and leaned against him.
She recalled her past life, when she was twenty, there indeed was a flood disaster. That year, there was a lot of rain, floods everywhere. Her village had higher ground, so it wasn’t serious. But other villages were completely subrged, crop fields bore no harvest, and so villagers refused to leave, hiding and resisting evacuation, eventually drowning inside.
The broadcast was filled with stories of many soldiers fighting floods and rescuing, sacrificing many lives. Later, a flood prevention morial tower was built by the river bank.
Thinking of these things made her shiver: "Gu Junming, please be very careful. Don’t make worry about you."
"I understand." Gu Junming patted her back, "Let’s not think about these. It might turn out well, I could even be back by June. There’s never been such a big flood here anyway."
"We can’t be too optimistic; this flood might be very dangerous. For instance, in our low-lying areas, Red Village, and Er Dong Village’s farmland could be at risk. Nearby villages may lose water and power, embanknts could collapse, people must be moved out first. You need to be prepared with sandbags, and dicine. Oh, and there might be two collapse monts; don’t think of rescuing when the water recedes." Recalling her past life, the severity wasn’t predicted, costing many lives.
It was said that the people at the ti were reluctant to leave. Seeing the water gone, many villagers thought it was fine and went to roads to pick mud surfaces, even finding fish. Who knew not long after descending, the second flood ca, sweeping them away. Many soldiers sacrificed themselves to save them, as the villagers narrated.
Gu Junming froze: "How do you know these? Will the dam really collapse?"
Sun Chan’s mind raced, quickly saying, "It’s what I’ve heard from villagers when I was little. Those villages are prone to flooding; I imagine towns here are similar, must be tougher on evacuating folks to avoid big incidents. I think this is similar to that case back then."
Gu Junming said, "I got it, I’ll pay attention."
Because of this matter, the two didn’t feel the joy of getting married; after leaving Sun Chan’s side, Gu Junming returned to his dormitory, took out nearby area maps, viewed them carefully, feeling cold sweat on his back.
What Sun Chan ntioned was possible, precautions were necessary.
He took out pen and paper, wrote down so thoughts, applied for many speedboats, and food and dicine, also sandbags. Preparations had to begin upon arrival, downstream people must swiftly evacuate.
He finished writing a draft until dawn and went to sleep.
The next day, he was awakened by colleagues. Soone directly pulled off his blanket.
"The groom is still sleeping? Hurry up, you’re getting married today and sleeping so soundly?"
"Yes, wake up!"
Gu Junming smiled, sat up, glanced at his watch, not yet seven o’clock, first went to the cafeteria for breakfast, then departed robustly with the team to fetch the bride.
Sun Chan was pulled up around five in the morning to get makeup and hair done. A crowd surrounded her, Guihua laughingly chatting with people outside, discussing how to tease Gu Junming.
Zhao Jieyun arrived early, helping her daughter change clothes. Seeing her youngest in red wedding garb, she nodded contentedly, her eyes moist: "Finally grown up. Mom never managed you well, it’s mom’s fault, don’t bla ."
"Mom, don’t say that, you’ve treated very well. I’ll live well, you relax." Sun Chan smiled.
Zhao Jieyun nodded, put a thin, shiny gold bracelet on Sun Chan’s wrist, hanging several small gourds, very beautiful.
Sun Chan quickly said, "Mom, I bought gold jewelry."
"It’s mom’s token. I know you’re not fond of gold jewelry. But this one’s delicate, you might like it. Wear it."
Sun Chan smiled and nodded, lifted her hand to look, indeed quite pretty.
Zhao Jieyun sighed; she bought two identical gold bracelets, one was for Yang Yun, prepared for her wedding, but now it seems uncertain when Yang Yun would marry.
At that mont, Yang Yun was arguing with Yang Dongfeng; she woke up late, Yang Dongfeng changed clothes and urged several tis, she was unwilling to get up, making Yang Dongfeng a bit angry.
"Fine, continue sleeping, I’ll go by myself."
Yang Yun hurriedly said, "No, I must go. Wait for . Who knows why, holding the wedding so early, just making people suffer!" She grabbed her clothes. She still had plans today; not letting her go was impossible.
Yang Dongfeng frowned: "Are we ordinary wedding guests? We are family! Where are relatives going this late? And, what did you prepare for your sister?"
"Why should I prepare anything for her?" Yang Yun was very annoyed, she simply had no money, how could she prepare anything?
Yang Dongfeng helplessly looked at his eldest daughter: "You’re her big sister! Last ti, you were wrong, never wanting to apologize? Your sister’s wedding, not a bit of gesture, why even go?"
