Surprise! The rough husband is the hidden boss of the period literature

Chapter 413 Jiang Chijing, Jiang Xingcan

In mid-to-late July, Qiaotun received orders to conduct a military exercise to surround the industrial town, and all the city's residents were temporarily relocated to the suburbs.

Many important things happened this year.

The people were very cooperative.

Many tents were set up in the spacious area.
On July 26, troops began to enter Qiaotun from all directions.

The military's fine traditions led these soldiers to sleep directly on the streets or in open spaces when they were on standby. They didn't even go near the eaves of civilian houses.

The military exercise began on the 28th.

At Jian Jingchuan's request, the command posts of the Red and Blue armies were set up at the southern and northern exits of the city, respectively. The command posts were also tents, very rudimentary, and cooking was done by digging stoves on the spot.

Lin Jianfeng patted Jian Jingchuan on the shoulder, "I really don't understand how you can come up with this idea of ​​a military exercise. I agree with it, but to be honest, the cost is still a bit too high."

Jian Jingchuan looked at this once-glorious industrial city, knowing that it would be reduced to ruins in an instant if an earthquake struck. His heart was heavy.

“I’ve thought about this before when I was in Japan. I’ve been thinking about it for years. I’ll be unwilling to give up if I don’t try it.”

"Why did you choose this city of all places?" Lin Jianfeng asked casually.

Jian Jingchuan answered seriously, "There's a lot of heavy machinery. If enemy missiles fly over, it will either be from the Northeast or from here, but I guess it's more likely from here."

Because this place is adjacent to Yancheng.

The military exercise started at four in the morning and lasted for a day. After that, Jian Jingchuan ordered everyone to evacuate from the city and rest in the wilderness outside the city.

"Why are you doing this to yourself?" Lin Jianfeng asked, puzzled by his behavior towards the soldiers.

"If this were a city targeted by missiles, could you sleep soundly in the city?"

Lin Jianfeng suddenly realized that it made a lot of sense.

After a long day of exhaustion without a moment's rest, even though they could lie down and rest now, the officers and soldiers were still on high alert, knowing that the enemy could attack at any time during the military exercise.

Around 3 a.m., the sky suddenly collapsed and the earth split open.

When the soldiers participating in the military exercise saw lightning flash across the sky like a rouge knife slicing through the air, they thought it was an enemy missile attack and shouted, "Enemy attack!"

At this moment, the command post was still able to issue orders. Jian Jingchuan rushed to the microphone and said, "Earthquake! All officers and soldiers should get away from the city as soon as possible and organize the people to move to open areas."

The city was reduced to ruins, but no one was injured or killed.

When the announcer broadcast the news, his tone was filled with regret, not much sorrow, because no one was injured or killed.

Xu Qinghuan had been restless and absent-minded while playing with the two children. Upon hearing the news, tears streamed down her face, and she felt incredibly fortunate.

Fortunately, she spoke out; fortunately, she had a father as dignified as a mountain, willing to shoulder the wind and snow on his shoulders; fortunately, in this era, the deep bond between the military and the people was like fish and water, and everyone survived.

By the end of August, Qiaotun had been cleared out, resulting in significant economic losses, but there were no casualties. As long as people were alive, everything was manageable. Jian Jingchuan returned to Yancheng and was summoned to Huo Fuhai's office.

"It was your request to conduct military exercises in Qiaotun, your suggestion and organization to relocate all the city's residents, and your order to have the soldiers sleep outside the city on the night of the exercises. What, did you know there would be an earthquake that night?"

Jian Jingchuan said, "Japan suffers from many natural disasters due to its geographical location. Their geological surveying technology is ahead of ours. I received some information from them before, specifically about this earthquake."

But, with earthquakes, whether they're accurately predicted or not, I think it's largely a matter of luck. If I loudly proclaim an earthquake and it turns out not to be, wouldn't I become a sinner? But I can't be afraid of becoming a sinner and just keep hoping for an earthquake every day.”

Huo Fuhai laughed in anger at his words, "So you're going to play these tricks in different ways without even telling us?"

"The political situation hasn't been cleaned up yet, and to be honest, I don't know who's good and who's bad, especially someone like me who has two files. You know I'm a good person, but it's hard to guarantee that others won't see me as a double agent for Japan."

"When that time comes, I won't care about my own life or death, but I still have my daughter, and now I have two grandchildren. Old Huo, when will the sun finally rise?"

October 18th was a bright and sunny day, with clear skies and a blazing sun. The whole country was filled with jubilation as a new era began.

The two little ones are six months old, and they sit up straight. They each have two baby teeth, one on top and one on the bottom. They drool all day when they see others eating, and they climb all over Jiang Xingye as soon as he comes home.

Xu Qinghuan cut a long strip of each of the peach-like fruits in the space for them to gnaw on. The fruits were soft and fluffy, and the two of them mashed them into a paste with their teeth before swallowing. They ate with saliva dripping down their faces.

The two little ones loved eating this fruit. Dressed warmly, they sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) and ate it together.

The two little ones initially only had nicknames: the older sister was called Da Bao and the younger brother was called Er Bao. When they were six months old, their father finally gave them formal names because the women's team leader came and urged the couple to register the two little ones' household registrations.

The older sister is named Jiang Xingcan because her father said he liked Cao Cao's line "The Milky Way is so bright, it seems to come from within it." Just when Xu Qinghuan was worried that he would name his son "Qili," his strong will to save lives kicked in, and his son's name became Jiang Chijing.

Xu Qinghuan considered both names and found them acceptable, neither of which was too bad. The key point was that she couldn't think of anything better herself, which meant that the two children reluctantly agreed.

It's better than nothing, I suppose!

We can't keep calling him "Da Bao" and "Er Bao" forever.

Because my son loves to eat so much, he got the nickname "Little Snack". His older siblings sometimes call him "Eat Eat". He seems to know that it is not a nice word, and he will frown and turn his face away every time.

But the older sister is different; she has a fiery temper, just like Jiang Xingye.

Once, when she was eating a cornbread, Erdan was watching her. When he saw her drop the cornbread on the ground, Erdan complained, "Auntie, my little sister doesn't cherish food."

Erdan was only three or four years old, so they didn't treat her like a baby.

As a result, she slapped Erdan across the face. The little guy used quite a bit of force, and Erdan cried on the spot.

Xu Qinghuan felt sorry for Erdan and pulled him into her arms to comfort him, "Erdan, be good, Erdan, don't cry. Your aunt will apologize to Erdan on your behalf..."

Before she could even apologize, the little guy, his face darkening, kicked Erdan in the back of the neck. Before Xu Qinghuan could say anything, she turned her head and saw Jiang Xingye. Her lips trembled, tears streaming down her face. She reached out to Jiang Xingye, trying to call him "Dad," but she hadn't quite mastered it yet. Her aggrieved expression brought tears to Jiang Xingye's eyes, making this grown man's eyes redden.
