At two in the afternoon, Gong Mingxia and Zhang Yun began slicing watermelons, cutting up a whole twenty large watermelons, and delivering them to the dike in several batches.
Before coming, she had purchased a lot of Huo Xiang Zheng Qi Liquid. When the children took the watermelons, she gave each of them two bottles to keep in their bosom, reminding them to pay attention to heatstroke prevention and cooling down.
Everyone thought the two were just ordinary villagers, and after they expressed their thanks with sincerity, they quickly ate and then hurried off to fill sandbags, heaving bag after bag tirelessly. Their busy looks and flushed faces inexplicably touched her heart.
After leaving the dike, Gong Mingxia and Zhang Yun drove to a nearby town and bought a truckload of watermelons, mineral water, and Huo Xiang Zheng Qi Liquid, spending three thousand yuan.
