Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1160

Chapter 1160: Chapter 1033: Gathering in the Disaster Area

Watching Miao Lishan hang up the phone, the two brothers slumped into their chairs, then exchanged glances with each other, and sighed simultaneously.

They had indeed been careless, failing to keep an eye on their wife for their father!

Miao Lishan thought the kids were worrying about their sister’s personal safety and quickly comforted them, "Look, your mom said she left with the Ministry of Health, so there’s certainly no problem."

May 1st glanced at her and shook his head.

He didn’t want to admit he was worried about his mother’s safety. The earthquake had happened several days ago, and supposedly, aftershocks were no longer occurring.

Moreover, although his mom looked weak, with her skills and the precautionary items she carried, it wouldn’t be a problem to deal with a few blind fools.

Besides, did they really think his mother was a little rabbit? She’s tough when it comes to dealing with people, and anyone who provokes her might not return to Beijing!

Oh, mom... you really lack a sense of brotherhood, leaving just like that, without even thinking to take the two brothers with you!

No amount of complaining would help, and the brothers were furious enough to shake their mom hard for an explanation, or to force her into an unfair agreement.

But they needed her here to do that.

Powerless, they could only wait for now, as they’re also busy.

While the twins Liu Yi and May 1st, along with their playmates, were busy helping at the donation point, Zhou Jiao had disembarked with the Ministry of Health’s small team.

On this journey, after getting off at the nearest station to Tengshan City, just as Zhou Xiaozheng had predicted, they had to start carrying their backpacks and walking.

In all directions leading to Tengshan City, voices from all over the country mingled together; these were passionate comrades rushing to the rescue scene from various places.

They were young, enthusiastic, and full of energy.

During this hot summer, even though the long trek made them unbearably thirsty, no one suggested taking a break for water or food.

Everyone walked while nibbling on dry food, not wanting to waste any time, each focused on reaching the site sooner to contribute their part.

Gradually, no one could eat another bite...

As they got closer to Tengshan City, the collapsed house corners, brownish soil, and the blood-stained sorrow-laden air were visible everywhere.

The atmosphere grew more and more heavy.

Though major newspapers tirelessly published the latest updates, presenting the truest pictures daily, on-site experiences were far more profound.

As Zhou Jiao neared Tengshan City, there was still a noticeably conspicuous team behind her.

What stood out in this team was, among the thirty young men, though exhaustion was evident, it didn’t overshadow their tall statures. Moreover, among them were five female youths, each looking more charming than the other.

If Zhou Jiao didn’t grit her teeth to keep up with the team, she would realize that Old Zhang’s "Ming" generation and the three Zhang Ziwen brothers almost all showed up.

Why did they appear here?

This had to be traced back to the early morning tremors of July 28 which also extended to the small county in the Northeast.

Of course, it was just mild shaking, but given the number of families living in adobe houses, some ancient courtyards’ walls collapsed, with chunks of soil falling off.

On the morning of the event, Zhang Dad’s three sons and two daughters, except for Zhang Guoqing outside, went frantic and rushed to the courtyard after the shaking.

Once the whole family gathered at the courtyard and saw their parents, they realized that if it weren’t for the noise outside being too loud, Zhang Dad and Mother Zhang hadn’t even noticed the tremors.

Which proved the courtyard’s quality was surprisingly good.
