Cheng Su ended the baffling call and Qi Taiguo came over with a bottle of water and a piece of bread for her, asking, "What's up?"
"Nothing, just made a call back home to check in, didn't want them to worry. Ning Ge has come back, blowing up at me for no reason. Who knows what's gotten into him." Cheng Su shrugged.
Qi Taiguo let out an "Oh," pushed the water and bread into her hands, and said, "It's only bread, but eat up. I've got to go out and help now."
Cheng Su took them, cautioning, "Be careful out there."
"Okay!" Qi Taiguo kissed her quickly and strode off.
Cheng Su sat down, devoured the bread and water, saw how chaotic everything around her was, and stood up to help too. She might not have been able to assist with digging people out, but comforting and distracting children were things she could do.
