Chapter 290 Reverence and Protection
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on every inch of Xiaoyang Village. In the village committee compound, the impressive advanced equipment of the military hospital emits a cold metallic light under the sunlight.
Soldiers carefully carried and loaded precision instruments onto trucks, and the army green vehicles were neatly arranged. The grand lineup demonstrated the solemnity and rigor of this medical aid operation.
After the busy work, several soldiers picked up brooms and carefully swept the dust and debris left in the yard due to the moving of equipment. The rustling sound of the brooms across the ground echoed in the quiet air, as if playing the final prelude to this special operation.
Secretary Xie walked towards Professor Cao Guohua with firm steps. He held the professor's hand tightly, his eyes full of gratitude and respect: "Professor Cao, you took the trouble to bring the team from the military hospital to Xiaoyang Village to provide free physical examinations and medical assistance to the villagers. This selfless love and dedication will be remembered by all the villagers of Xiaoyang Village.
At the same time, we would like to sincerely thank President Mu and Professor Jiang for their strong support behind the scenes. It is you who make us firmly believe that as long as we work together, Xiaoyang Village will surely break through the difficulties and move towards a better tomorrow. "
Mu Xiaoji wore a modest smile on his face and quickly waved his hand and said, "Secretary Xie, you are too polite. This is what we should do. The folks in Xiaoyang Village are simple and kind. We are honored to be able to do something for them."
Jiang Chengyu also smiled slightly and said softly: "What we did is just a small effort. We just did our little bit of work. It's not worth mentioning."
Professor Cao patted Secretary Xie's shoulder gently and said earnestly, "Secretary Xie, let's prepare to return to the military hospital.
Next, the subsequent construction and development of Xiaoyang Village will require your hard work. I believe that under your leadership, Xiaoyang Village will usher in earth-shaking changes. "
At this moment, Xiao Li and Xiao Yang led the medical staff and slowly walked over, supporting the patients on the list with serious conditions.
The medical staff looked focused. Some carefully arranged seats for the patients, while others gently comforted the nervous patients. They led them one by one to the vehicles that had been prepared in advance, arranged them on the vehicles in an orderly manner, and carefully checked to ensure that every patient was seated safely and comfortably.
After everything was arranged, Secretary Xie stood there, looking at the vehicle that was about to depart with a serious look.
Jiang Chengyu opened the heavy door of the Land Rover Range Rover and sat in the driver's seat first, and Mu Xiaoji then sat elegantly in the passenger seat.
Then, Professor Cao Guohua and Luo Shaoqing walked to the car together. Professor Cao Guohua opened the back door, bent down and sat in the car, and couldn't help but sighed: "I have been running around all the way, and now I am sitting in this spacious and comfortable million-dollar luxury car. It's really comfortable! Okay, Professor Jiang, let's go!"
Jiang Chengyu responded with a smile: "Everyone fasten your seat belts, we are officially on our way home!"
The Land Rover Range Rover started up slowly like a majestic beast, and drove first towards the winding tunnel outside the village. Afterwards, vehicles from the military hospital drove one after another with their lights flashing, like a giant steel dragon moving slowly forward in the morning light.
Secretary Xie, Director An and a group of security personnel stood tall at the entrance of the village, with longing for the future and blessings for those leaving on their faces.
They waved their arms, drawing powerful arcs in the air, as if saying goodbye to this special experience and welcoming the upcoming new chapter of the Lamb Village.
As the vehicle went farther and farther away and finally disappeared at the end of the road, the Xiaoyang Village incident involving the service area case, medical assistance and the delivery of hope came to an end.
The warmth and strength it leaves behind will be forever engraved in the development history of Xiaoyang Village and become the source and motivation for the villagers to keep moving forward.
The Land Rover Range Rover was like a silver lightning, breaking the tranquility of the road and rushing forward at lightning speed. However, the atmosphere inside the car was in sharp contrast to the speed outside the car.
Cao Guohua's eyes were gentle, with a kind smile on his face, and he was the first to break the silence: "You've been running around outside these days, are you eager to go home?"
Mu Xiaoji tilted his head slightly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and a carefree look in his eyes: "For me, having a place to stay is enough. I don't have any concept of the so-called home."
Luo Shaoqing couldn't help but be curious, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "How can you have such thoughts at such a young age?"
Mu Xiaoji looked calm, as if he was telling someone else's story: "Professor Luo may not know that I grew up in the Red Star Welfare Home."
Luo Shaoqing was slightly startled, with a look of surprise on his face: "Oh? Mr. Mu is an orphan?"
Mu Xiaoji nodded gently and continued, "Although I am no longer an orphan, the Red Star Welfare Home has a special place in my heart. It contains my most precious memories.
Until now, I still have a dormitory in the welfare home. I like the tranquility and peace there, as well as the innocent smiles of the elderly and children. That is the purest beauty in the world.”
Professor Cao looked concerned and asked jokingly, "Mr. Mu, have you encountered any troubles? Why do you suddenly feel so emotional?"
Mu Xiaoji sighed softly, but his eyes were firm: "I think as long as you are alive, troubles are like a grinding pestle that tests you, poking a little bit of your anger every day until your edges and sharpness are smoothed.
So now I have let it go, I am not afraid of trouble, I just want to help whoever I can within my ability, and I think it can also be regarded as finding some meaning in this long life. "
Professor Cao smiled and changed the subject: "You two should be about the same age as my Jinxi, right? It looks like you have known each other for a long time?"
Jiang Chengyu was driving attentively. When he heard the question, he tilted his head slightly and answered, "We got to know each other since the time when a worker asked for payment for a construction project and placed a bunch of gas cylinders in the yard of the primary school.
That time when I had a stomachache, it was Jinxi who took me to the hospital. It was many years ago, by the way!
At this point, Mu Xiaoji understood what was going on. At that time, Jiang Chengyu's soul lived in his fragile body, so only Jiang Chengyu remembered the things that were still fresh in his memory!
Professor Cao thought of his niece and sighed helplessly: "Jinxi, influenced by us, has been yearning for military life since she was a child. She passed all the tests and was admitted to the police academy. After graduation, she joined the Public Security Bureau.
As a girl, she should have had a stable job in a military hospital as we expected.
But she is so hot-tempered all day long, she just likes investigating criminal cases and being in the limelight. She also fights with people all day long, she doesn't act like a girl at all."
Mu Xiaoji laughed and retorted: "Luo Jinxi is pretty good. At least she is not pretentious, has a straightforward personality, and is a person of true nature. I quite like her for this."
The two elders couldn't help but laugh at each other when they heard such an evaluation. Professor Cao rolled his eyes and said jokingly, "Professor Jiang, what about you? What do you think of this wild girl in our family?"
Jiang Chengyu tightened his grip on the steering wheel, his eyes still looking straight ahead, and responded slowly: "Xiao Ji's evaluation is very accurate, I have the same opinion."
Professor Cao coughed lightly, his expression turned serious, and he said solemnly: "The last time you followed Professor Luo to Xiaoyang Village to drill the mountain tunnel to clear the landslide, Jinxi looked for you for two days but couldn't find you.
She passed by the military hospital feeling frustrated and went in to seek comfort from me. When I saw her heartbroken look, I knew that this girl had a great liking for you.
Professor Jiang, if you don't have any other ideas, why don't you formally date our girl? What do you think?"
When Jiang Chengyu heard this, his body stiffened slightly, and he looked at Mu Xiaoji uncomfortably. Mu Xiaoji's expression was still as calm as water, and there was no ripple in his eyes.
He coughed lightly to break the awkward atmosphere: "Professor Cao, I know that Jinxi has a crush on me. She is indeed a good girl, and I also like her straightforward personality.
But Jinxi knows my situation best, and we are just good friends, so... I may disappoint the two professors."
After hearing what he said, the two professors looked at each other with confusion in their eyes, obviously not understanding what the problem was.
Under the cover of deep night, the convoy was like a slowly flowing Milky Way, marching towards the military hospital under the stars and the moon.
The metallic luster on the car body flashed a cold and firm light under the faint starlight and moonlight. The wheels rolled the ground rhythmically, making a low sound, as if beating the beat for this special journey.
As the leader of the fleet, the Land Rover Range Rover slid steadily into the designated parking space like a calm navigator. The body of the car shook slightly and then calmed down.
The two professors pushed open the car door swiftly, their movements showing the calmness and decisiveness of long-experienced practice.
They stood tall and straight, walked steadily, unhurriedly yet with a resolute aura, and walked straight towards Xiao Li and Xiao Yang who had been waiting on the side.
Professor Cao raised his chin slightly, and with a firm and clear gaze, he instructed: "Li Qiang, Yang Caiyun, your first task now is to lead the villagers to the cafeteria for meals.
After everyone has finished their meal, we will properly arrange for them to rest in the ward. Remember, everyone must be examined on an empty stomach tomorrow morning, which is very important for us to further understand the condition and formulate an accurate treatment plan. "
Li Qiang and Yang Caiyun responded loudly in unison: "Yes, Professor!" The voice echoed in the silent night sky, carrying an unquestionable sense of mission.
After saying that, the two turned around quickly and walked towards the direction where the villagers gathered. Li Qiang's face was filled with a warm and friendly smile, his eyes were full of comfort, and he said loudly:
"Fellow villagers, please follow me. Let's go fill our stomachs and have a good hot meal."
Yang Caiyun smiled as she shuttled among the women and elders, saying softly, "Sister, auntie, please follow me this way.
If you have any needs, please feel free to tell me. We will go to the cafeteria to eat first, and then we will arrange accommodation for everyone.
Coming here is like being at home, there is no need to feel scared or restrained." As she spoke, she gently guided everyone to the restaurant.
Luo Shaoqing did not slack off at this time. He quickly organized medical staff, and an intense and orderly medical equipment transportation operation began immediately.
The medical staff are well-trained, and everyone knows their duties clearly. They either bend down to lift heavy equipment boxes, or carefully hold sophisticated instruments. They walk hurriedly but steadily towards their respective departments.
The medical devices reflected a cold metallic luster in the moonlight, as if they were a group of silent and loyal soldiers about to rush into a battle without the smoke of gunpowder.
Mu Xiaoji stood quietly by and witnessed it all, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart.
He saw the team's collaboration and professionalism, and also saw that behind this seemingly calm medical operation lay countless people's reverence and protection for life.
