The driver, a soldier, couldn't help but praise him, "Comrade, this doesn't seem like your first time doing rescue work. You must have done a lot of preparation yesterday."

"Fortunately, there are too many people affected by the disaster. I was afraid of holding them back. The faster I go, the more people I can save."

Sister Yang scratched her head shyly. Being praised by a soldier felt different from being praised by others. After speaking, Sister Yang looked out the window and noted down the features on the road.

Without a helicopter, would she still be able to find her way when working on the ground...?

……

Three hours later, two helicopters returned one after the other to the open space in front of the Fadacai Supermarket. The disaster victims who had spontaneously organized to receive and rescue the helicopters were already in place, and they rushed over as soon as the helicopters landed.

As the disaster victims continued to disembark, Gu Xixi looked at the number of rescued victims on both sides and pondered: if two helicopters take off and return at the same time, then the remaining score difference should lie in the number of rescued victims and the evaluation of colleagues.

Old Yang jumped out of the helicopter and counted the number of people rescued on his sister's side. He had 29 people, which was already a lot. His sister's side would probably have a hard time surpassing him.

Besides, my sister always dotes on him, so she definitely won't win.

However, as he counted, Old Yang's expression changed. There were 48 disaster victims who got off the helicopter that his sister was in charge of, a full 19 more than him!

Gu Xixi walked towards the helicopter, followed by Old Yang, Chu Feng, and Yang's parents. The two rescue teams gathered in front of Gu Xixi to report on the rescue situation.

"This rescue mission saved 77 people and took 3 hours. Below is our rescue team's rating of the two team leaders."

Gu Xixi reached out and took the rating sheet. As she expected, almost all of Xiao Yang's ratings were failing, while Xiao Yang's sister was quite remarkable, with almost all of her scores above 85.

She didn't say much, but simply handed the evaluation sheet to Xiao Yang and her sister for her to see. "The results are obvious. Xiao Yang is the best in terms of both the number of disaster victims she rescued and the evaluations from her colleagues. I declare Xiao Yang the winner. Comrade Xiao Yang, do you have anything to say?"

Little Yang bit her upper lip, her face full of stubbornness. "This time it was an accident. I wasn't prepared. I'm not as old as my sister, so it's normal that I don't get along well with others. It's not fair to decide the winner in one round. I want a best-of-three series."

“I’m a man, and I speak in a strong tone, so my colleagues don’t think I’m good. My sister is a woman, and she speaks softly and gently, so of course she seems stronger than me… Anyway, I’m not convinced.”

He was so stubborn that Gu Xixi wanted to take out a dead duck and compare it with him to see who was more stubborn.

"Sister Yang, what do you think? Are you willing to accept a best-of-three series?" Gu Xixi didn't say a word of what was on her mind; she just asked for the person in question's opinion.

Anyway, she had already predicted the outcome. Given Old Master Yang's current personality, Sister Yang was bound to win!

Sister Yang nodded and smiled nonchalantly, "I'm willing, but after the competition, could I continue doing this job? I really enjoy it."

"Of course. Since you have no objections, let's make it a best-of-three series. Comrade Yang, you heard me? Your sister agreed. You won't go back on your word later, will you?"

Gu Xixi stared at Old Man Yang. If this kid dared to go back on his word, she would slap him!

Old Yang is destined to be a national elder, not now. She dares to hit him... If all else fails, she can sneakily beat him up!

"Whoever goes back on their word is a grandson!" Little Yang raised his hand and swore. He then looked at Old Yang and said, "Hey, grandpa, I have a lot of questions for you. Please teach me."

Everyone says that this old man is very knowledgeable, and it's sure to be a good choice to let him teach.

He will definitely surpass his sister this time, and let everyone see how excellent he is, and that he deserves to be respected and fawned over.

Old Yang nodded, then looked at Little Yang and asked, "Do you have any questions for me?"

"No, please rest assured and teach my brother. I have a question I'd like to ask Teacher Shen." Little Yang pointed to Shen Qingyan, who was busy in the middle of the supermarket in the distance.

Old Yang nodded and left with Young Old Yang.

Sister Yang continued to ask Gu Xixi, "Commander, many of the disaster victims are not in good health on the way to the rescue, and it has been a year since the disaster started. I am afraid of encountering some large-scale infectious disease... So can I ask Teacher Shen to teach me about traditional Chinese medicine every night?"

"On the one hand, I can play a role during the rescue and help Teacher Shen when I get back. On the other hand, I will have a means to support myself after the disaster is over."

Gu Xixi looked at him with appreciation and nodded, "Okay, go and talk to Teacher Shen and ask him to teach you some things that are urgently needed and simple, to guide you through the basics. I'll also leave you some books, and with so many disaster victims for you to practice with, as long as you're willing to put your heart into it, you'll definitely learn some skills."

"Thank you, sir!" Little Yang immediately ran into the supermarket courtyard.

As Mr. and Mrs. Yang watched their children leave, their gratitude was beyond words. Although their son hadn't changed much yet, they knew very well that one is influenced by one's company. Now that he was with these wonderful people, he would eventually become a better person.

The two exchanged a glance and bowed to Gu Xixi.

"Thank you for valuing my two children so much, sir. My husband and I have nothing to repay you with, but we know some carpentry. How about we make some handcarts to transport building materials?"

“I saw it all. There are iron carts over there at the foundation, which are much better than flatbed carts. There’s no need for thick and heavy flatbed carts. Don’t make things worse. Commander, we can also cook. Why don’t we go to the kitchen to help out?”

The two of them chatted back and forth, each afraid of not being able to get any work done.

Gu Xixi was not about to let them work while they were exhausted. The others were just sitting and doing some verbal work. "Okay, but you don't have to do anything now. Rest for half a month and then we'll talk. In these half a month, you are responsible for each of you gaining 5-10 pounds. If you don't complete the task, I will give the kitchen work to someone else."

“Your lives were saved by the country. I don’t want all our previous work to be in vain. Health is the foundation of everything. What do you think, uncles and aunts?”

Gu Xixi took out the words her parents used to say, never expecting that one day she would use them to advise her elders.

Mr. and Mrs. Yang were even more embarrassed, but they both nodded and said in unison, "Thank you, leaders, we understand."

The two turned and walked towards the disaster victims' dormitory building.

Meanwhile, on the other side, in the city's official administrative offices.

The official leader was shocked after hearing the report. "Are you saying that there are groups of People's Liberation Army soldiers carrying out disaster relief in various disaster-stricken areas, and in the name of the state? But the areas they are distributed in are not within the scope of national disaster relief. What else have they done besides disaster relief?"
