Chapter 31-40

Chapter 31

"Government rescue is here!" Shen Cong exclaimed in surprise, turning around and running upstairs.

Gu Kai and Old Man Gu also followed excitedly.

When they ran to the platform on the fourth floor, they saw Shen Jianyi, who used to charge all the electrical appliances with solar energy installations here, excited like a child, standing on the platform and shouting at the sky.

He jumped and jumped, and waved desperately, for fear that no one would see it.

Shen Cong has not seen his father so energetic in many years.

But don't laugh at anyone at this moment, because everyone is equally excited.

Shen Xi and Tong Tong followed Shen Cong and the three of them up, and then Cheng Ru pulled Shan Shan and climbed up together.

Everyone shouted and screamed together, the kind of excitement that anyone who has never experienced it is absolutely unimaginable.

The helicopter in the sky is getting closer.

Then at the same time, the three helicopters opened the hatch together, and countless sheets of colored paper flew out of the plane.

Everyone shouted and made a fuss to catch and pick them up, and then found that there was a letter written on it to tell the compatriots of the disaster victims.

Although no one's thoughts are here at the moment, some people's eyes are still wet when they read the greetings.

Soon, the helicopter flew to the most crowded area of ​​the community - the central square.

Then, as everyone had hoped, big boxes wrapped in camouflage canvas came down from the sky with small parachutes!

The umbrella flowers floated in the air, and everyone had the same idea at the moment, that is -

this is the most beautiful scene I have ever seen in my life!

These supplies quickly landed on the ground.

Before that, Shi Lei and Cao Hongmin had already brought people to the square.

They shouted loudly in the crowd, indicating that the materials distributed by the government belonged to all the people in the community, and no matter who picked it up, they had to turn it in.

If it is discovered that it is hidden, it will be severely punished.

At the same time, they sent several people to count how many boxes of things the helicopter dropped, and where they fell.

This look is to finally find and verify according to this statistical data.

No one thought of keeping it secret.

Or someone else had such an idea, but it was dismissed when the first box containing supplies fell.

Because the box is quite big, each one is a uniform size of one meter five by two meters.

This is too many to count, and too easy to hide.

The helicopter did not stay over the community for a long time. After they put out the supplies, they continued westward. Obviously, there are still many people affected by the disaster waiting for them to rescue.

After the helicopters flew far away, the people did not disperse. They all stayed in the square and waited to see how the leaders of the community went one by one to retrieve the boxes that had been put into them.

Because no one wanted to take it personally, the process of searching was very pleasant.

Residents who have boxes thrown at their homes will either send things out together as a family, or if they can't carry them, they will go to the square to call for people.

Then there will be a bunch of people who want to join in the fun right away to help out.

The overall feeling is that the New Year has never been so happy.

Shen Cong's house is one of the best-preserved buildings in the entire community.

Their family was all jumping and screaming on the roof of the fourth floor, and the pilot naturally saw it.

Then one was also placed on the roof of their house.

Shen Cong didn't use the space, but the whole family worked together to move the box downstairs.

As soon as the door was opened, Cao Hongmin and the others were already waiting at the door.

Shen Cong smiled and said, "Your eyes are so good, you can see it as soon as we moved here."

A young man next to Lao Cao laughed and said, "You can't even think of bad eyes, you guys. The house is so conspicuous. You are all screaming there again, and everyone in our community has seen a box fall on the platform of your house."

"Yeah, I have never seen Uncle Shen so happy and shouted so loudly, really Be strong when you are old!" Another young man interjected.

Everyone laughed together.

The materials released this time are mainly food and drinking water, as well as some medicines.

Five of the twenty-five boxes were all mineral water.

There are more types of materials in other boxes.

There are compressed biscuits, ham sausages, canned food, instant noodles, vacuum-packed dry food, and small packets of beef jerky, dehydrated vegetables and dried fruits.

In addition, there are water purification tablets, hemostatic powder for the treatment of trauma, bandages, alcohol iodine.

In addition, each box contains two radios, and several flashlights with dry batteries.

It can be seen that the government is also heartbroken when preparing these materials.

In each box, there is also a letter to the victims of the disaster with the same content as the one dropped by the helicopter.

In the letter, in addition to some cheering words and precautions after the disaster, it also said that such airdrops will be held once a week in the future.

There will be differences in airdropped materials, but as much as possible to ensure the normal needs of people.

Let everyone not despair, keep faith, and go through the difficult times together with the country.

After reading the letter, everyone cheered, and many people cried on the spot.

Even Shen Cong, who always felt that his heart was hard enough, also felt that his nose was sour.

The kind of fear and anxiety that had been pervading everyone's hearts seemed to disappear at this moment, and everyone felt an unprecedented steadiness.

There were too many supplies, so Shi Lei and Lao Cao picked a few people out of the crowd and went over to make statistics together.

Although it was hot outside, the sun was just overhead, scorching hot on the skin.

But everyone was reluctant to leave, and everyone tried to find a shady place to stand, watching them busy.

Although everyone knows that so many things will not be distributed for a while, it will take a long time to organize them.

But it seems that just looking at it can make people feel very satisfied.

Because he was thinking about tidying up the steel frame house in the backyard, Shen Cong didn't want to stay here any longer.

She touched her husband and motioned for him to leave with her.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion among those working in the center of the square, and then someone shouted loudly: "Uncle Shen, Shen Jianyi! Your family's package!"

"Package?" Shen Cong was stunned, then stopped. Step down.

And Shen Jianyi was also confused by the shouting.

Seeing him standing still, someone came to greet him: "Uncle Shen, come here quickly, there really is a package from your house with your and aunt's names written on it."

And your own name?

Cheng Ru was also stunned.

Then the couple hurriedly walked towards the square.

Shen Cong, Shen Xi and the other family naturally followed.

Then they saw a military backpack tightly taped to the outside of a material box surrounded by the crowd. A piece of paper was glued to the backpack, with the words "Cheng Ru, Shen Jianyi received" written on it.

The backpack wasn't too big, and it wasn't very noticeable on the supply box.

If the box hadn't been received, it wouldn't have been visible when it fell from the sky.

Presumably it will not have any impact on other materials.

"Is it Wei Yan's bag?" Shen Jianyi's first reaction was this.

"It must be him." Cheng Ru's tone was very proud: "This kid has always been intentional."

"Then these things we received should have been sent by their troops, right? Wei Yan has already arrived in Beining?

Oh, can you? Sending things means that he is all right and safe. Now they can finally feel relieved, but they don't have to be afraid anymore." Shen Xi patted his chest as he spoke, with a look of relief on his face.

Cheng Ran said on the phone that Wei Yan was in Qingzhou for disaster relief, and that was the front line of the disaster.

The level of danger can be imagined.

Then there was a big earthquake in Bac Ninh.

These days, while everyone is worried about Gu Jiashu, they are also worried about Wei Yan.

Cheng Ru didn't say it, but sisters Shen Cong and Shen Xi had seen their mother talking in the direction of Qingzhou more than once. They must be talking on behalf of Wei Yan. I hope he is safe and sound.

Knowing that Wei Yan is safe at this moment, the whole family is much happier than receiving the things he sent.

"Wei Yan? Uncle, are you talking about my aunt's niece-in-law?" Shi Lei interjected.

"Yeah, it's my nephew-in-law, who works at the military headquarters. Their troops have been in Qingzhou for disaster relief before. It seems that people in our city are indeed connected with the troops." Cheng Ru's tone was very sigh.

As soon as these words were said, all the people around were blown up.

"The military headquarters is the army in the capital? Does that mean that the country now knows about our disaster?"

"I must know, how can the country know about such a big thing?"

"Oh, just get in touch with the headquarters. , that is to be able to speak directly to the country." There was a

lot of discussion.

Don't care if you know the truth or not, everyone is like a connoisseur, and you can talk vigorously.

The Shen family didn't explain or refute, they all watched Shen Jianyi tear off the tape and take out the backpack.

"Uncle Shen, look at what your niece-in-law gave you! See if there is a letter in it?" Someone in the crowd shouted loudly.

When he said he wanted something from Wei Yan, many people laughed along.

But when he said he wanted to know if there was any letter, everyone's eyes lit up, and there was more expectation.

Now there is no network, no electricity, no road, and it can be said that the connection with the outside world is completely lost.

Everyone is eager to learn about information from the outside world.

Wanting to know if Wei Yan would tell the Shen family something, such an idea made it impossible to refuse.

Shen Jianyi and Cheng Ru exchanged glances, and the two simply took out all the same things in their backpacks in front of everyone.

There were several packs of compressed biscuits, four cans of military luncheon meat, and two packs of self-heating rice.

In addition, there are two nutrition bars, a small packet of military chocolate wrapped tightly in a plastic bag, and then a military raincoat.

You don't need to ask to know that these are all saved by Wei Yan from his own personal supplies.

There was no letter inside the package, just a small note written at the back of the promotional leaflet.

There are not many words on it, and it is very scribbled.

Wei Yan said on a small note that he got the news that he was going to send supplies to the community relatively late, and he had no time to prepare things, so he could only send some food first.

Let aunt and uncle take care of your health, and let the whole family pay attention to safety. Don't worry.

He also said that the country is now organizing rescues, and the disaster should be over soon. Said that the troops have assembled and set off for various disaster areas.

Let them be patient and everything will be fine.

In addition, he vaguely said that the capital was also affected by the disaster, but fortunately, the family was safe and sound, let them not worry about it. If there is an opportunity for troops to come to Beining, he will definitely come to visit.

Hearing that the country has taken action, that the troops have moved towards various disaster areas, and that the disaster is about to pass, everyone is even more excited.

Excited one by one, everyone had a look of longing on their faces.

Shen Cong's heart suddenly became heavy.

Beijing was also devastated.

So what about other places besides Beijing?

Nan'an, does it still exist?

Now the information is not available, and Wei Yan's wording can feel that the above does not want everyone to know too much.

Shen Cong felt that this idea should be the same as they were at the beginning, that is, before there was no more hope, he didn't want everyone to know too much bad news.

This is beneficial to the cohesion of people's hearts.

But she has experienced the end of the world, but she feels the seriousness of the matter from these vague words.

On the third day after the delivery of materials, the community welcomed a group of guests.

Rescue workers were dispatched from the town.

There were six of them, four men and two women, each carrying a large bag containing some supplies.

There are not many materials, but everyone is very grateful for their hard work.

Their arrival gave people in the community another shot in the arm.

Because they brought a very good news.

According to them, the rescue team sent by the government has now arrived in the town, and a disaster relief headquarters has been established there.

At present, various rescue teams are sent to go deep into the community and mountain villages, just to count the disaster situation in each area, so as to study the next disaster relief plan.

Two of the six of them were doctors, and they went to see the seriously wounded in the community first.

Then he finally proposed to bring the wounded back to the town for treatment.

This made the people in the community, especially those in charge, all let out a long sigh of relief.

After the earthquake, volunteers in the community rescued more than 100 wounded.

Among these minor injuries, more than half of them recovered slowly.

Of the remaining seriously wounded people, there were more than 30 people who could not survive and died of natural causes during these days, and now there are 12 people who are still fighting for their lives.

Seeing them suffer every day, watching them get closer to death but helpless, makes everyone feel very uncomfortable.

The community didn't think about it.

In order to find a way for the wounded to pass and send them to the town, the community sent out several teams.

Some of them walked along the big pool where Shen Cong and the others had been before, hoping to bypass the pool to reach the town.

Someone tried to walk in the opposite direction along the crack, hoping to find a more suitable path.

But in the end all ended in failure.

The terrain has changed too much.

In some places, the bulge turned into a mountain, and in another place it sank and turned into a big pit. The original road has long since disappeared, and a new road has not yet been opened.

And the passage between the buildings that Shen Cong and the others had opened before was too narrow, and it was okay for one person to pass by sideways.

So everyone can just keep going.

But this time the rescue team told them that the town had already organized people to expand the passage.

They blasted it with dynamite and cleaned it up.

Now the car still can't pass, but it's still okay to use a stretcher to carry people over there, be careful.

How can such news not make people overjoyed!

After all, to save others is to save oneself.

The fact that these wounded can go out means that they are no longer isolated from the world.

In the future, if someone gets sick or injured, there is no need to resign.

These people did not stay in the community for long.

When they and Cao Hongmin checked the information of the personnel and explored the cracks to understand the current situation of the community, Shi Lei and his people had already mobilized all the cars that could be used in the community.

Put a thick quilt and mattress on it, place the wounded on it, and then the people from the community and the rescue team will send them to the passage.

The Shen family's tricycle was naturally requisitioned again.

In addition to them, a few others also took the initiative to push their own cars out.

There are also several households who have taken out quilts and mattresses from their homes, and are not stingy.

Everyone is doing their best to help the injured.

Such a scene made Shen Cong feel a little bit in his heart.

In the last life, because Nan'an was flooded so suddenly, everyone was unprepared, and there was no one who could keep supplies.

Before the base was established, there was chaos everywhere.

She really lived a particularly dark time, and her life was full of intrigues, and it was life and death.

After all the hardships and hardships, I finally returned home, when the famine had come.

Although the government has tried to help people in various ways, but the country has no food, how much can the government do?

At that time, most of the people she met were numb, selfish, and cold-blooded, and they were able to fight their lives for one bite!

Not to mention family, friendship, and neighborly love, some people have lost even the most basic humanity.

At that time, there were not many children, and whoever had one who was bound to guard, resolutely refused to let them go out.

I 'm afraid that if I go out, I won't be able to come back again...

Seeing the big guy's enthusiastic appearance at this time, Shen Cong's eyes are deeply moved.

She really wished days like this could be a little longer, a little longer.

I hope that even in the most difficult times, everyone can be like what is written on the propaganda page - watch and help each other to overcome the difficulties together.

Although she knew in her heart, it was difficult.

Shen Cong did not participate in the operation of transporting the wounded.

As the only doctor in the community, Mr. Gu must follow him all the way.

Because they were afraid that the wounded would be injured twice, everyone walked carefully along the way. It was already dark when the old man got home.

Because the weather was too hot, the old man who had been tired all day had no appetite at all, so Cheng Ru prepared water for him.

I took out the hand-rolled noodles I bought before and boiled them in cold water, then served with freshly fried tomato and egg brine, and poured a vinegar and garlic sauce on top... Salty, sour and spicy, the old man had a big appetite.

After eating and drinking, the old man told everyone another good news, that is, the government will disinfect Bac Ninh as a whole in five days.

Especially where there are cracks or large areas of building collapse.

What this means is clear to everyone.

This shows that the government has abandoned the search for those victims, or that the victims have no hope of life.

But this is definitely good news for the living.

Because such disinfecting will greatly reduce the incidence of infectious diseases and reduce the possibility of people getting sick.

At times like this, this is so important.

Before the disinfecting, the helicopter came to deliver another batch of supplies, this time in addition to water and some daily necessities.

While delivering the supplies, the pilots on the helicopter also used loudspeakers and a large number of flyers to convey to people that large-scale killings would be carried out.

The government asked people to move as far as possible from cracks and places with large numbers of victims, and to stay in a closed environment for 72 hours and not travel.

Close the doors and windows, do not put any food or water outdoors, and do not open the windows for ventilation during this period.

After the helicopter left, Shi Lei and the others called everyone for a meeting again.

The content of this meeting is to discuss whether to give up the land occupied by the high-level side.

In terms of the entire disaster situation, the high-rise side is definitely more serious than the villa side.

Although there is a crack on each side, after all, there are more land and fewer houses here, and the occupancy rate is still low.

Unlike the high-rise, because they are all small units and not far from the town, the rental rate of the house can basically reach 50 to 60%, maybe more.

As a result, the death rate there is also very high.

Not to mention those who were buried in the ground with their houses. For those who died in the later stage, because they did not have the ability to be cremated or even buried deep, their bodies were basically thrown into the cracks.

Now the condolences of family members have to be on the edge of the crack. It is a dream to want to erect a monument for the family members.

There are too many corpses in the cracks. Let's not talk about how the people living there can withstand it. First of all, there is a lot of pressure on epidemic prevention.

Everyone is afraid of infectious diseases, and as the weather gets hotter, it's almost impossible to smell there.

The smell is smoky.

The people in the community have talked to Shi Lei many times, and they want to move to the villa area.

But the houses here were all allocated before people could live, and the rest were either dilapidated or collapsed.

So Shi Lei never spit out, didn't say whether he could move or not.

Now that the government is going to disinfect, and it is clear that everyone should stay away from cracks and places with a large number of victims, the survivors at the top have made this request again.

Shi Lei called everyone together, and also wanted to discuss a plan with people to see how to solve this problem.

"You can occupy the empty house in the community as you like. As long as no one is arranged to come to our house, we have no problem. We should help each other, and we are obliged to help each other.

But we also want to ensure the privacy of our home. After all We bought this house with real money and it is our private territory."

The owner of a villa area said first.

Shen Jianyi immediately expressed his attitude: "I agree! This is also what our family thinks. Even if you need help, you will definitely try your best to help. But the home is our own, and we do not accept outsiders."

Chapter 32

As soon as Shen Jianyi said this, the aborigines in the villa area also expressed their attitudes.

Everyone has the same idea, someone takes the lead and naturally follows up.

As soon as their attitude showed, the faces of the people at the top were obviously not good-looking.

Originally, everyone sat together talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Now an indescribable divide begins to flow between people.

The older one on the higher-level side seemed to be the one who seemed to be the first to speak.

He said: "Isn't this a special situation now, it seems to be about to be killed. The people in the rescue team also said that the killing is to use a helicopter to drop disinfection-powder below. The powder is poisonous, It is very harmful to the human body. The state has also said, let us try to avoid it.

You know the situation at the top level, most of us now live in tents. Do

n't you mean to fight the earthquake together and tide over the difficulties together? Let's do each other a favor and let us take shelter for a while. After the past few days, we will move out without you needing to force us.

" "Obviously, the boundary between the two sides was drawn, and the faces of the young people at the top suddenly showed a bit of indignation.

After all, when everyone worked together before, they really helped each other, no one was willing to work hard, and they never thought about where they belonged.

It’s easy to feel aggrieved when someone rejects you when you need help now.

But the people here in the villa area are also very aggrieved!

It's said that you can live in such a big yard as you like, isn't that enough?

Why do you have to let outsiders live in the house you bought with your own money and the small home you worked hard to maintain?

Besides, it’s easy to ask God to send him off, but when the eradication is over, what if the people who live in don’t leave?

When will you turn your face or not?

A person here finally couldn't hold it any longer, and whispered in a low voice: "Then what will we do if you don't leave? There are so many of you, we can't even fight!"

This sentence is like a The fuse, both sides exploded at the same time.

There are many large houses in the villa area, but there are really few people.

A total of more than 100 people lived before the earthquake.

Later, like Xiaoyu's mother, there were more than a dozen people who left here because they were thinking about the situation in the city.

Now the total population, including children like Tongtong, is only fifty or sixty.

It's a huge difference from the roughly 200 people on the high-level side.

That person is right, if these people are in a group, it is really hard to say who will drive whom.

People on both sides were aggrieved, and their words naturally brought out anger.

This side said, "None of you are the owners of the community. Where will you stay in the future? Now that the earthquake is over, you can go to another place to work! You don't even have a house, so you don't have to live here or leave." The other

side said " Isn't it time for us to help lift the bricks to repair the house, and let us take care of the wounded?"

In short, it took a while, and the roof was going to explode into the sky.

Shi Lei and Cao Hongmin both lived in the high-rise before, so it is inevitable that there will be a tendency at this time.

The two of them didn't pick on each other, but no one made a sound to stop them.

The scene seemed to be out of control.

Shen Cong felt that this was not possible.

She still has to live in the community for a long time, and the good atmosphere cannot be destroyed so quickly.

At this time, unity is really better for everyone than tearing the face.

She raised the volume and asked aloud: "What are you arguing about here? There are still three days left to kill the killings. If you don't hurry up to build a house now, sitting here talking nonsense, the house will be built by itself?

" belongs to a very special existence.

She treats people very lightly, doesn't like to get involved in anything, and she doesn't like to stand out.

But when you need help, just ask, and she will help if she can.

And everyone knows that she is very strong.

I won't talk about bandaging before. The first one to break out of the confinement circle and walk to the town is the two of them.

Not only went, but brought back the rescue from the town.

Although Gu Kai also participated, who didn't know that their family was headed by a woman?

Gu Kai always backed her up.

Even if they don't patronize Kai, their family seems to be convinced of her. She definitely belongs to the one who can make a final decision at home.

Especially the people in the villa area, there are still legends about her beating Xu Liang down with a stick.

Therefore, although Shen Cong's voice was not loud, the room was quiet for a while when she opened her mouth.

"Sister Cong, you put it simply, how can you build a house in a day or two?"

Not far away, Xiao Fan was the first to speak.

He was Shi Lei's assistant and the most powerful general under his command.

Xiaofan used to be the security guard of the community, and she knew her when Shen Cong sent a tricycle to the security guard in the rainstorm.

Maybe the first impression was good, Xiao Fan always felt very close to Shen Cong.

I'm usually not very polite to her. Whenever we meet, "Sister Cong", "Sister Cong" keeps calling.

Shen Cong was also very kind to him, and made a little joke with him from time to time.

Now listening to Shen Cong speak, Xiao Fan was the first to express his grievances.

"We really don't mean to stay away. We just want to avoid it for a while. It's not a few days in total, and we'll move back when it's over."

"Where are you going to move back?" Shen Cong hit the nail on the head.

Xiao Fan did not answer immediately.

Because he moved to the villa area with Shi Lei before.

Although he is speaking for the people at the top, he actually understands that he cannot represent these people.

He looked back at Shi Lei, who was sitting there without saying a word, and gritted his teeth and replied, "There is no way to live there. Even if we move out, we will definitely have to live here."

Shen Cong didn't show any resistance . look.

She just asked back: "If that's the case, why don't you hurry up and build a house now? After all, there are still three days left!"

Xiao Fan choked his neck to defend himself, Shen Cong made a stop gesture, and then glared at him , said: "I think you are stupid!"

In one sentence, Xiao Fan held back all his words, and everyone else's eyes also focused on her.

Shen Cong stood up from his seat.

She said, "Let me tell you my personal opinion. If it's right, please listen to it. It's also a reference."

Cao Hongmin immediately said, "Xiao Shen, let's all listen."

Shen Cong nodded at him and said: "Disasters always coexist with opportunities. Don't just see the difficulties, but also think about the opportunities behind the difficulties.

If I'm not mistaken, most of us here are tenants of the community. Even if not The tenants are the owners, and everyone's houses were collapsed in this earthquake, and they no longer exist."

After hearing this, many people below lowered their heads, and the owners of the high-rise buildings were directly red-eyed.

Shen Cong did not soften her voice or comfort anyone because of this, she continued to say in a calm voice: "Everyone is equal in the face of disaster, and no one is better than anyone else.

This is not the time to complain and feel sorry for yourself. You have the time to feel uncomfortable. It is better to think about how to seize the opportunity as soon as possible to make your life a little better. "

Speaking of this, she paused and asked, "I wonder how many of you have noticed that sentence on the promotional page?" "

"Which sentence?" Several people asked together.

"The government said that everyone should stay away from the cracks and find a suitable place to stay in a closed environment.

But now let alone our community, how many suitable locations are there in Bac Ninh? How many closed environments are suitable for staying? " There

is silence below.

"What if there is no suitable environment?" Then create it yourself. Shen Cong looked at everyone: "

I know that many people in our community are not from Beining. If someone is going to go home and doesn't want to stay here anymore, they can pretend that I didn't say it."

But if someone is going to settle down here in the future, then I think this could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

We know how big this earthquake is. Just by looking at our community, you can imagine how much damage it has caused to Bac Ninh.

So much damage, just our house collapsed? Certainly not. There are so many people in the city, and they are even more miserable and helpless than us. There are many people who don’t have houses to live in.

In the face of such a catastrophic disaster, it is very difficult for the government to provide us with the most basic food and to ensure that we can survive. Who can expect them to have the spare energy to build houses for every family?

What if the government cannot provide housing? You must figure it out yourself. And the propaganda page is very clear, it is to encourage ordinary people to find a place to live.

No matter how difficult it is in our community, there is still some vacant land. If you are willing to build a house, we will all be willing to help.

But if you don't hurry up and take up the space..."

Before Shen Cong's words were finished, the bottom was already in chaos, and many people couldn't sit still.

The smart person immediately understood what she didn't mean—

Now the house is yours as long as it is built.

You don't have to pay anyone, and you don't have to ask anyone for permission.

Before the government has the spare power to intervene, it is up to you to decide how much you want to build and where to build it.

Only you have the strength and no one can stop it.

Isn't this an opportunity?

This kind of opportunity may not come once in a lifetime!

Others didn't understand, and were still shouting: "Why let outsiders come to our place? No one can come in if we don't let them in!"

Someone immediately retorted: "This place belongs to Yingshui Village, and we only live there. Right, now the house is gone, and the right of residence is gone, why don't we let others in? There is no basis."

"Even if we really can prevent those who come here alone from entering, in case the government makes a unified plan , let the people in the city relocate as a whole? Forget Yingshui Village, in front of the state, what is Yingshui Village? If

they say it is theirs, who can take it back? Don’t forget, the land will always be state-owned Assets!" Someone in the know said something.

"Yeah, do you remember the rescue team that came before? They have counted our personnel list, the number of personnel and the area of ​​the community! If the state comes forward, can we stop it?!"

"Then what? If someone really comes, where do we live?" Many people panicked immediately.

"So I don't understand, why are you still able to sit still?" Shen Cong added a little fire.

Everyone buzzed, only to feel that their brains suddenly opened up!

you do not say.

What are you still sitting here for?

Instead of sitting here bickering, it's better to go to pick a block first and occupy it.

How many houses can you build?

If you can't cover it, even if you get some broken bricks, you can circle it first.

If you encircle it, it is yours, if you don't encircle it in the future, you may not have it!

In the future, even if the government really wants to resettle people in the community, they will only be able to resettle people in open spaces.

You can't tear up the house built by your own people in the courtyard, or let them move out, right?

The more everyone thought about it, the more they felt that Shen Cong's reminder was right, and they were fortunate that she reminded everyone now that it was still too late.

Even if people are to be resettled, they must be killed after disinfecting them. At this moment, they will occupy land and build a house, and if they grab it, it will be theirs!

After thinking about it, who still has the mind to gossip here?

I can't wait to leave immediately.

It was Cao Hongmin who saw that everyone was going to leave, and hurriedly said: "Don't make a random enclosure! Come here! The layout of the community is here, and those who want to build a house come to me to register. Whoever doesn't say hello will occupy the land We don't recognize it in our community!"

Those who had no houses in the upper floors, and those whose houses collapsed in the villa area all ran towards Lao Cao.

The Shen family and the other owners of the family's house left silently.

After going out, the neighbor who expressed his attitude first looked at Shen Cong, and then gave Shen Jianyi a thumbs up.

Shen Jianyi smiled and said nothing.

No one said a word, and each went back to their own homes.

When he got home, Shen Jianyi learned this from people who didn't go to the meeting. The more he talked, the more proud he became. He felt that his daughter was not ordinary smart!

Such a sharp contradiction was resolved by her in just a few words.

Shen Jianyi believes that he can't do it.

Shen Cong didn't feel proud, she just said: "I'm telling the truth." In the

future, the government will definitely plan people's living places. Now that so many houses in the city have collapsed, people who don't have houses are bound to live. relocation.

Their community looks out of place, and the living environment is pretty good.

It's definitely a piece of fat at that time, I don't know how many people miss it!

Instead of letting a group of outsiders who don't know or understand it move in, it's better to let those high-rise residents come and live.

At least we still have the feeling of sharing weal and woe.

And judging from the current situation, those people can still get along.

It's much better than a bunch of outsiders.

The family was talking inside the house, and then someone knocked on the door outside.

When I opened the door, I saw Xiao Fan'er and a few guys who had a good relationship with him standing outside.

It was Shen Cong who opened the door, and Xiao Fan Er smiled and said, "Sister Cong, I want to borrow the tricycle at home."

"Okay, come in and push it." Shen Cong agreed happily.

When Xiaofan came in to push the cart, she asked curiously: "Why, you are going to build a house too? The villa on the west side is no longer available?"

"I still live. But the house still needs to be built. You can't build it blindly, and you can't do it without planning. Whoever wants to do what he wants.

He is discussing with Lao Liu and the others on how to plan!

Look at what Brother Shi Lei means, there are several types of housing. There is a single room, and when the time comes, let everyone apply according to their needs."

"This method is good, this is the long-term method!" Shen Jianyi, who followed out, immediately praised when he heard this.

"No!" Xiao Fan proudly raised his head: "Our brother Shi Lei is amazing! He and Lao Liu used to be designers in big cities. They just returned to Beining not long ago, and they originally wanted to be here. Starting a business, but unexpectedly encountered an earthquake."

Xiao Fan said with a sigh of regret.

"People who have the ability will not be buried anywhere. Shi Lei is not bad, he will definitely succeed in the future!" Shen Jianyi said.

This was originally a compliment to Shi Lei, but Xiao Fan and the few people who came with him were all very happy when they heard it, and they nodded desperately as if they were complimenting them.

It was a little funny to see Shen Cong, and Shi Lei was even more impressed.

He has the ability, his character is not bad, and he can still maintain a group of people who recognize him so much.

Having such a person as a leader in the community is beneficial and harmless to the community.

Maybe they can walk better in the last days and live longer.

After chatting a few more words, Shen Cong and the others realized that Xiao Fan and the others were eager to borrow a car at this moment in order to rush to the town.

They want to see if there is anything in town that sells things like cement and sand for building houses.

If there is, no matter if you buy it with money or exchange it for something, you can get some back if you can.

After all, no matter how urgent it is, since you want to build a house, you have to be serious, and the quality of the project cannot be vague.

How can you fool and deal with people casually?

After hearing this, the Shen family recognized the community managers even more.

In the end, he not only lent the tricycle to Xiao Fan, but also let them ride away the two bicycles that can carry weight at home.

When everyone is working hard to do something, it is usually very efficient.

In the early morning of the next day, the genius was shining brightly. When Shen Cong went to the rooftop on the fourth floor to exercise, he saw that many people in the courtyard were busy.

It can even be seen that not only some places have been marked with white lime, but some places have begun to dig foundations!

It's enough to prove how many people stayed up all night this night.

At noon, all the people who went to the town to buy building materials by Xiao Fan also came back.

Not only did they come back on their own, they even brought back a construction team, and they really got back a lot of building materials.

This is an unexpected surprise!

Even Shen Cong and Shen Xi couldn't help but curiously ran out to ask about the situation.

Only after this question did I realize that not only did they start construction, but the people in the town also started to build houses and rebuild.

The building they used to go to must be abandoned now.

But the workers who were working there have not left.

These people were evacuated from the construction site when the government was first notified to prevent the earthquake, so most of them survived.

Now the earthquake is over, but the jobs are gone.

If you want to go home, you can’t go back to the traffic at the moment, so everyone can only find ways to make money on the spot.

Just at this time, the earthquake was over, and it was the peak of reconstruction. The construction workers became popular again.

The construction party dispersed the workers and formed small construction teams one by one, and began to take over the work and became self-reliant.

As for building materials - the construction

site is not finished yet, and the things that the construction party invested in before have not been completely destroyed, and they can always find usable ones.

With a serious construction team, and building a house for themselves, everyone can be motivated, and the house will be built very quickly.

The foundations are beginning to take shape in several places throughout the day.

Because every household had to go out to help, Shen Jianyi and Gu Kai went to the property to report when they got up.

As a result, he was kicked out by Cao Hongmin as soon as he left.     Lao

Cao said directly to them: "Go back and clean up your house quickly. This is about to be killed. You should cover the house anyway, otherwise the disinfectant will be sprayed on, and it will be difficult to clean up in the future."

The words were supported by everyone present, and no one left them, instead, there were people who kept giving them advice.

After all, everyone knows that the situation of the Shen family is special.

His villa was so close to the big crack that it was even within the range required by the government to evacuate.

But the house was fine, built so solidly.

It can be said that it is the first share of the community, and it is impossible for them to move away.

So how to reduce losses as much as possible becomes a top priority.

In fact, the people of the Shen family are also a little worried about this.

Old Master Gu still knew about the disinfecting medicine.

In his words, that thing can be decomposed in the environment, and it does little damage to the human body, but close contact with high concentrations can easily cause a variety of diseases.

For example skin diseases such as respiratory diseases.

So it is very important to be prepared in advance.

Moreover, those medicines are chemical agents after all, and the ones that float in the air are easy to decompose, but the ones that remain in the soil are hard to say. I don’t know how many years it will take to completely decompose.

It is impossible to grow crops on contaminated land before this.

Although when the cellar was dug before, the soil dug out was quietly collected into the space by Shen Cong, and it would definitely be enough to grow crops in the future.

But buying such a big backyard is not for being polluted!

Both the land and the house must find a way to save, at least to minimize the loss.

The family sat together and discussed for a long time. After much deliberation, there was only one way to think of it, and that was to wrap up the whole house.

This method is stupid, but it is the easiest to do and the most effective.

But - where did you get the wrapping material from?

This earthquake came suddenly, and it had never happened in the previous life, and Shen Cong didn't know that the ground would crack.

No matter how well the Shen family prepared, they never thought about buying materials for wrapping the house.

The whole family was a little worried for a while.

Unexpectedly, the turning point of things turned out to be brought by Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan took the initiative to come to the door, and as soon as he entered the door, he began to show off: "Uncle Shen, do you see who I brought you?"

He pointed at the tall and thin man who followed, and introduced: "This is from the construction team. Old Li. Uncle, don't you want to protect the house? Their construction team is an expert in this regard.

When we went to the town this time, we saw a lot of people wrapping their houses, using the color strips provided by them. , and also contracted the construction.

I specially called him over, you can talk to them, and see if you can let them do it too?"

This is the pillow for drowsiness, Shen suggested that he was overjoyed.

He thanked Xiao Fan and chatted with this person.

When it comes to the protection of the house, this man looks confident.

He read it in the front and back yard, and then gave the Shen family advice, how to pack it, and where to start.

It didn't take long for them to figure out how many color strips to rent, and even the rental price.

The price is actually not high. It only takes ten catties of grain or five packs of compressed biscuits to rent the fabric that wraps the whole house.

Add two packs of instant noodles if you need their workers to build it.

Even Shen Cong didn't expect that the rental of color strips has now become a business.

This thing used to be a one-off.

But thinking about it, I can understand that materials are in short supply now, so of course we have to make full use of what can be used.

Due to the heavy workload of the community, there were not enough workers. The Shen family discussed it and decided not to use the workers from the construction team, but rented their color-striped cloth with only five packs of compressed biscuits.

Anyway, the whole community saw the compressed biscuits sent by Wei Yan before, so it is not eye-catching to take them out at this time.

The entire Shen family went into battle, from the fourth floor down to the fence, wrapping the entire villa tightly without leaving any gaps.

It looks like a zongzi from the outside, and you can't see the scene inside at all.

This job looks simple, but it is undoubtedly a big project for people with little experience. After the package is finished, the whole family is so tired that they don't even have the strength to go out.

As soon as everyone discussed, they simply locked the door and entered the closed period ahead of schedule.

And just when the Shen family was busy for their small family, the construction projects in the community were also in full swing.

Although it was impossible to build so many houses in three days, the community finally looked no longer lifeless, with broken walls everywhere.

All the building materials that could be used were taken out by everyone, and the rubbish was also cleaned up.

The disinfecting is finally about to begin.

The previous night, the construction was temporarily suspended, and the workers returned to the town first.

Those who do not have a place to live have been temporarily taken in by residents living in vacant houses, and they are ready to squeeze together and make do with it these days.

Although the environment is a bit poor for the time being, people don't feel how hard it is to think that they will have their own small home soon.

All feel hopeful.

Chapter 33

When the appointed date came, people all went back to the house early, and no one dared to wander outside.

Everyone is nervous and curious about the upcoming mass disinfecting.

Just after eight o'clock, there was a familiar roar outside, but this time it was louder than before. More than three helicopters could be heard.

Soon, the high-pitched horn sounded again in the sky, asking those who were still outside to return to the house immediately. Let people close the doors and windows, not to ventilate at will, and not to go out.

It didn't take long for the horns to stop, followed by an overwhelming sterilization - the powder fell from the sky.

Those white powders, like snow, covered the sky almost instantly, and the whole world seemed to be shrouded in them.

Not even the sunlight could penetrate, and everything became hazy.

At this time, there was no one outside, and it was quiet everywhere, only the roar of the helicopter and the rustling of the powder when it landed.

This scene is quite touching.

People stay in the house, can't see the scene outside, and can't feel the shock.

But the smell of those medicinal powders was pervasive, and they drilled into the gaps that everyone thought were tightly blocked.

Even after so many layers of filtration, the smell is still pungent.

After smelling it, the mucous membranes of the eyes, nose and throat will be very uncomfortable.

This feeling is very alarming, everyone is trying their best to block all the gaps in the house as tightly as possible.

The situation of the Shen family is better, because before the disinfecting began, their whole family moved to the basement they built before to live.

Across the thick ground and the colorful strips of cloth wrapped around the house, there was no smell at all.

When Gu Zhengchu proposed to dig the basement, the purpose was very simple, just because Shen Cong's space was too small at that time, he dug it out for storage.

But before the official excavation, her space has been upgraded.

It just so happened that the construction team of Lao Zheng they found also had experience in building underground wine cellars, so building an underground residence was simply an effortless task.

Therefore, they simply waved their hands and directly upgraded the simple cellar to an underground three-bedroom and one-hall.

The layout and floor area are exactly the same as the steel-framed houses covered above, all including kitchen and bathroom.

Water, electricity, solar energy, air conditioning, fresh air system, sewer renovation and even kitchen waste processors are all installed, so there is no problem living directly here.

And according to everyone's original plan, there is a steel-framed room above the basement, and the entrance and exit are indoors, which is tightly blocked by the steel-framed room.

This is not intentional, and ordinary people can't find it at all.

Even if the environment is a little worse in the future, if there are any special circumstances, both Tibetans and hidden objects will be regarded as an additional barrier.

Who would have thought that the big earthquake actually started in Bac Ninh?

It also directly collapsed the steel frame house above.

Fortunately, the location of the ground fissure is still a little away from the backyard, so the basement was finally saved.

Another reason why he put so much thought into doing this was because Shen Cong said that there would be a long dry period after the earthquake.

Not only will it not rain, it will be very, very hot.

Summer seems to never end.

That time would last for almost a year or two.

Hearing this, Cheng Ru almost died of fright.

She and Shen Jianyi are both a little fat, they belong to the kind of plump body type, and they are most afraid of heat.

Therefore, the two immediately proposed to do a good job in the basement, and when the drought came, the whole family would move down to live there.

No one would have thought that the family would move in before the dry season came.

It's very quiet here.

You can't even hear the roar of helicopters outside unless you're close to the vents.

Shen Cong and the others had installed several cameras on the outer walls of their home, but they couldn't monitor them without the internet.

But this is also a peace of mind, at least for the next few days, the family can rest quietly and have a good rest.

Since the earthquake, everyone has been busy every day and has not had a good rest.

They say rest, but no one really rests.

Because there is no need to worry about someone coming to the door suddenly, and also not afraid that the smell of oil smoke will spread out and be discovered, Cheng Ru and Shen Xi's mother and daughter directly set up a frying pan in the basement, and set up a battle in this small kitchen.

Cheng Ru I don't know how to cook Western food. Although I have fried a lot of meatballs, lotus root clips, egg dumplings, etc., I don't have much fun with chicken chops and pork chops.

But Tongtong and Shanshan grew up abroad after all, and their living habits are still a bit westernized.

They also sometimes want to eat some hamburgers, hot dogs and things like that.

Although Shen Cong bought a lot of spares, it was still a little different from the taste they liked.

Now that there is time and convenience, Shenxi naturally wants to do more for his children.

Shenxi is still very good at cooking. In addition to those western-style fast food, she also cooks top-notch snacks and breads.

Since she confirmed that the electricity stored by the solar energy can support the oven, the smell of the home has become more important.

All kinds of breads, cakes, pizzas...

The rich fragrance filled the whole room.

Tongtong and Shanshan have never been so happy since the earthquake.

The bright lights, the familiar smells, all the relatives were around, and even—

the aunt set up a curtain and showed them cartoons.

This made them feel a long-lost happiness.

Gu Kai and his father were studying the ancient book in another room.

At this time, the major he has learned can be regarded as applied.

Shen Cong and Shen Jianyi put a piece of plastic sheeting in the corner of the living room, and then one at each side filled the seedling tray with soil, and the two were ready to start growing vegetables.

During this period of time, the old man Shen took the tablet to watch the popular science tutorials about growing grains and vegetables that his daughter bought for him.

Now that I have time, I have to give it a try.

He has also grown vegetables at home before.

He also opened a small vegetable field in the backyard, and planted some shallots, garlic sprouts and the like when he was idle.

It's not for eating, it should be a pastime.

But because he has too many hobbies, he doesn't actually put much effort into the vegetables, and the crops are quite average.

So even though the whole family felt that he was very experienced in growing food and vegetables, he knew in his heart that he was just a dummy and had no real ability.

Fortunately, these tutorials that my little daughter bought are really too detailed, and they have everything to say.

After looking at it for a few days, Shen Jianyi felt that his previous experience in planting vegetables was nothing, and there was a reason for the poor planting!

So, this time he wanted to give it a try as taught in the course.

"Dad, what is this root vegetable? Why haven't I even heard of it before? Is it delicious?"

Shen Cong picked up a small paper bag and looked at the name of the seeds specially marked on it, curious. asked.

"What's delicious or not, it's just the taste of ordinary green vegetables. There is a lot of food in the village, but few of them are sold in the city, so you haven't eaten much.

This thing is good, it grows fast, and the yield is high. , the stems and leaves can be eaten, but I don't like to have bugs, so I don't need to wait on them, it's quite suitable to use it to practice my hands."

Shen Jianyi said while pressing the nutrient soil into the seedling tray.

Knowing that his father had already studied it, Shen Cong didn't say more, and followed him to learn how to do it together.

"I'm thinking, we can't stay here all the time these days. When the smell dissipates a little tomorrow, let's go up and clean up the third and fourth floors together. We

can grow all the vegetables we can. Especially those that can grow in summer, heat-resistant, macaroni, amaranth, cabbage, etc.

, let's try to grow some. I still say that, even if we have food, we still have to Be careful, don't lift your tail too high.

Your fists are hard to beat with four hands.

It's a bit of a skill, and if it makes everyone in a community jealous, it's not a good thing.

Let's plant the vegetable seedlings early, Gu and I When Kai goes out to work, let your mother and your sister take care of it at home. When

it grows out, and after confirming that the weather is right now and the soil can still be planted, I will go and tell Shi Lei and the others that it is best to be in our Promote the community.

If everyone can grow vegetables, it can be considered as finding a way for people to survive.

Even if our family eats something in the future, it looks like a better life, and there is something to say."

Shen Cong nodded: "Well, it just so happens that everyone in our yard knows that you like to play with these things at home before, and it's not uncommon to have seeds in our house. I think this method is feasible."

"Besides the vegetables, in fact, we also You can try to grow some food."

She raised her head and asked, "Dad, what kind of food can be grown in summer? It's better to have high yield, heat and drought resistance, and suitable for growing in a small area in the yard."

"Where can I grow food in summer?" Shen Jianyi glanced at his daughter helplessly: "This season is to grow a la carte. Even if you want to grow corn, it's a bit late now."

"But if the high temperature persists, in the future It has been summer for a long time, so what should I do?" Shen Cong continued to ask.

Shen Jianyi's expression became solemn.

Regarding the fact that the high temperature will continue, my daughter has actually told them before.

You can listen to it, after all, before that time, people will always selectively ignore it.

At this moment, she raised it again, which made Shen Jianyi finally realize the seriousness of the matter.

The earthquake must have dealt a devastating blow to agriculture across the country, and there are not many places where food stocks are not enough.

If the weather continues to be so hot that autumn crops cannot be planted, what will happen in the future is completely unimaginable!

If there is another drought...

Shen Jianyi couldn't help shivering.

But he also knew that his daughter couldn't talk nonsense.

She must have a basis for saying so.

Trying to control himself not to think wildly, Shen Jianyi said in a calm voice, "I'm really not good at farming. Why don't I plant some peanuts or corn first, maybe it won't work, let's try again.

" Shen Cong's mood was very bad, and Shen Cong comforted: "You don't have to think too much, the country will definitely attach great importance to the food issue. Maybe we have already started to think of ways to solve this problem. In

a country as big as ours, in terms of agriculture, I don’t know how many experts there are, but they will definitely be able to find suitable crops for planting.

Let’s figure out how to do it first. If it doesn’t work, we will work hard to cooperate with what the state     requires

.

Then, Shen Jianyi sighed deeply, and didn't speak any more, and the strength of his men increased a bit.

After talking about planting vegetables, Shen Cong talked about the next step: "Dad, when the killing is over, Gu Kai and I discussed going back to the city. One is to see our Fulin house, Another one, we want to go back to find Jiashu and my aunt."

Hearing the mention of Gu Jiashu's mother and son, Shen Jianyi stopped his movements, looked at the back room subconsciously, and asked in a low voice, "Xiaokai's father also Let's go together?"

"If he doesn't go, just the two of us." Shen Cong replied.

"Yeah." Shen Jianyi nodded in agreement: "Don't let him follow, you guys run first. If there's anything really wrong, come back and think about it. He's also getting old, don't make him feel uncomfortable."

Although Shen Jianyi didn't say it clearly, But Shen Cong knew that he was talking about the family tree.

When the earthquake came, Jiashu was accompanying his girlfriend home, and her brother lived in a high-rise.

It's hard to say whether people can survive this disaster.

And my sister-in-law, when the earthquake happened, even the family tree was not by her side.

Whether she was in the shelter or had returned home, no one knows at all.

If it was in the shelter, it might be better, if it was back home...

So, without Dad mentioning it, it is impossible for Shen Cong and the others to let their father-in-law go back with them.

This trip back to the city is imperative.

If it weren't for the various things happening here one after another, the two of them would have gone early.

Although everyone knows that the road to that place is difficult, but so many people have come, they must be fine.

In addition to looking for a family tree, Fulin's house is also a matter, and he can't just ignore it.

When he decided to keep the house, Shen Cong meant to be a backup.

I want to wait until the insect plague comes in three or four years later, and the whole family will move back in.

Back then, the city was safer than the country.

Before that, the house could be opened up to grow food, and if it was a big deal, I would run around on both sides, and the hard work would not get anywhere.

The more choices you have, the more protection your family lives.

But who knew it would crack in situ?

I don't know if the house will be as lucky as in the previous life and will survive the earthquake.

But no matter what, you have to take a look and know the result.

But no one would have thought that before Shen Cong and his wife set off to go to the city, Jiashu would find them first!

It was the fifth day after the extermination.

For the first three days, everyone stayed at home and couldn't go out. Shen Cong and the others helped old man Shen to build a small vegetable garden upstairs.

On the fourth day, they did their best to remove the colorful strips wrapped around the outside.

On the fifth day, when he was about to clean up the sanitation inside and outside the house, Gu Jiashu ran over.

As soon as he entered the door, he threw himself directly in front of Gu Zhengchu, and knelt down to his uncle with a puff.

Then he kowtowed three times in a row, and then he cried, "Uncle, damn it, I didn't take good care of my mother! Her old man is gone!"

Everyone knew that he actually came to report the funeral.

Even though the family members were somewhat mentally prepared, everyone was still stunned when Gu Jiashu suddenly made such a move.

Mr. Gu sat there without saying a word for a long time, only the hands on the table were shaking uncontrollably.

The room was extremely quiet, only the sound of Gu Jiashu's crying.

After an unknown amount of time, Old Man Gu tapped on the table and said, "Get up, it's not your fault either."

His voice was exhausted.

At this moment, Shen Cong actually felt that he seemed to have seen his father-in-law in his previous life, that kind of repressed pain, that kind of tiredness that was about to dissipate...

This made her suddenly feel an indescribable sense of panic!

Make her want to find something quickly to make the old man feel more motivated.

She glanced at Gu Jiashu, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said quickly, "Dad, look at Jiashu's legs first."

After speaking, she took the initiative to step forward to support her cousin, and asked, "What's wrong with Jiashu's legs? What's wrong? Where is the injury, why are you limping?"

Hearing what she said, the family's attention immediately focused on Gu Jiashu's leg, and Gu Kai also stepped forward and pulled him up from the ground. .

After Gu's family tree got up, everyone saw that his calf was still wrapped in gauze after the trousers were pulled up.

The wound should be huge, and the gauze covered almost his entire calf.

The gauze was dirty, black-yellow, black-yellow, and he didn't know how long it had been wrapped around his legs.

Seeing that his nephew was injured, Gu Zhengchu couldn't bear to feel sad. He stood up from the chair, pointed to the sofa next to him, and said, "Sit over there and I'll take a look."

Shen Cong ran to another room to fetch his visit. box.

Gu Jiashu's leg was injured during the earthquake.

In his words, he and his girlfriend Tingting were on their way to her brother's house when the earthquake came.

Then he was on the phone when he felt a sudden turn of events.

Immediately afterwards, he watched helplessly as Tingting, who was walking in front of him, fell and was heavily pressed by a collapsed wall!

At that time, the family tree was thrown far away by the huge force, and it fell to the ground and couldn't move.

When he tried his best to get up and wanted to pull Tingting out, a tin billboard on the side of the road smashed straight down, photographing him and his girlfriend under the wall. .

Jiashu was knocked unconscious on the spot, and it was the second day when he woke up again.

At that time, he had been sent to the first aid station by volunteers.

Gu Jiashu was photographed by a billboard with a concussion, dizziness, and vomiting tortured him for several days, so dizzy he couldn't even open his eyes.

Can't do anything.

In addition, the torn iron sheet of the billboard was deeply inserted into the muscle of his calf, and a large hole of more than ten centimeters was pierced in his calf, and a large piece of meat was cut off!

At that time, the city was a mess, there were not enough doctors and nurses, and there were not enough medicines.

Injuries like his were not worth mentioning at the first aid station at the time, and they couldn't even find someone who could suture his wounds.

Only bandaged, gave him two antibiotics and let him lie down in the tent to dry.

Gu Jiashu couldn't remember how he survived.

Later, the order in the city recovered a little, and finally a doctor came to re-treat the wounds for them.

Jiashu and the others recovered a little and were able to stand up, so they left the first aid station.

"I went home immediately after I came out of the emergency station. But home..."

Having said this, the big man burst into tears.

The huge pain was unbearable for him. He covered his stomach with his hands and couldn't raise his head sobbing.

"Uncle, brother, my house is gone, and the whole building has fallen into the cracks! My mother, my mother..."

He couldn't stop crying.

In fact, there is no need to say any more, everyone understands what he has not done.

His mother must have gone home after the aftershock, and when the real earthquake hit, there was no chance to escape.

Gu Zhengchu couldn't go to check the wound for his nephew at all. He sat on the small stool, covered his face with his hands, and tears slowly flowed down his fingers.

The old man did not cry out, but this silent cry made people feel grief in their hearts.

"Tingting is gone."

Gu Jiashu calmed down for a long time before continuing with a choked sob.     "I found the volunteers who took me to the emergency center. They told me that Tingting

was also dug out at the time, but she lost her breath when she dug out."

It's a sapling struggling under the storm.

"Stop talking, take a break first. Let your sister-in-law re-bandage your wound." Gu Kai interrupted him.

Shen Cong quickly opened the medicine box and squatted beside Gu Jiashu to help him deal with the wound.

Gu Zhengchu didn't help. He sat on the side and tried to calm down. He looked pale and tired.

The whole person seems to be holding on with one breath.

Afraid that the children would be afraid, Shen Xi silently brought the children back to the small room.

Cheng Ru ran to make a cup of tea for the two of them.

What was given to Gu Zhengchu was the soothing tea he prepared by himself before, and what was given to Gu Jiashu was a cup of hot brewed black tea with a lot of honey in it.

"You just came back from outside and sweated so profusely. Don't drink cold things first, drink a hot cup and talk about it slowly."

"Thank you, Auntie." Gu Jiashu took it and said gratefully.

Then he almost drank the cup of tea cleanly in one breath, even if it was slightly hot.

Seeing him like this, Cheng Ru hurriedly went to pour him another glass of cool white water.

Gu Jiashu drank again.

Shen Cong untied the gauze on his leg and found that there was only a little inflammation inside, and the sutures looked a little red and swollen because the sutures were not fully grown.

All in all, no problem.

Seeing that she changed the medicine for Gu Jiashu, and watched Jiashu take two anti-inflammatory drugs, Gu Zhengchu opened his mouth again.

He said, "You should stay at your Uncle Shen and Aunt Cheng's house for the past few days. You have to take care of your legs. Don't run around

during this time, or you will become disabled in the future if your muscles don't grow well and shrink." Hearing what he said, Shen Jianyi and Cheng Ru nodded again and again: "Don't go, don't go, just live here! Take care of your legs first, this is a big deal,     and

everything else will be backed up."

The tree did not resist this time.

He wiped away the tears from his face and said gratefully to the two old people, "Uncle and auntie, that's going to cause you trouble. I'll stay for a few days and leave when my legs are healed."

"The family won't say such polite words! "Shen Jianyi waved his hand to stop him from continuing.

Then he looked at Gu Kai and instructed: "Go and pour some water for your brother, and help him wash his head. Can't see the water on this leg? Then wrap it in a plastic bag, and run over so far, what's the matter in such a hot day? I also have to take a bath."

Then he looked at his wife again: "Go and make a stutter for the family tree, he must not have eaten well these days."

Having said that, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "Children here It's a big crime!"

Gu Jiashu really suffered.     Let's not talk

about the injuries he suffered, just by looking at the T-shirt that was so dirty that the color could no longer be seen, and the sticky strands of hair, the chapped lips...

What a bad day it has been.

Chapter 34

Gu Jiashu stayed in the Shen family like this.

On the first day, because he had suffered too much outside and dragged his injured leg so far, he lay down on Old Master Gu's bed and fell asleep.

I slept so darkly that I couldn't wake up when I called, and I didn't even eat dinner.

Seeing the whole family suffer.

Because there was no extra bed at home, Shen Cong and Gu Kai originally discussed getting him a mattress to make do with it, and then looking for an opportunity to make him a bed.

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Shen Xi offered to give up the single bed that Tong Tong was currently living in and let him use it first, and the three of them would sleep in the same bed for a few days.

Cheng Ru also felt distressed when she looked at it. The way she felt distressed was to try her best to cook delicious food for the younger generation.

But even if the Shen family were to suffer for the family tree again, they still had some degree of control.

For example, for the meal he cooked when he came, Cheng Ru used a small pot to cook noodles and fried eggs for him, and specially prepared beef stew for him.

All available are vacuum packed canned, dehydrated vegetables.

The fresh vegetables, fruits and meat in the space were not taken outside.

Before they have established complete trust, it is impossible for them to show their bottom line so recklessly.

Gu Jiashu also accepts the fact that the Shen family eats well.

After all, before the earthquake, his uncle and his sister-in-law called several times, wanting their family to move in to avoid the earthquake.

Later, after confirming that they didn't want to come, his sister-in-law, someone who doesn't like to meddle in nosy things, told them over and over again on the phone, asking them to stock up on food, water, and canned and vacuum-packed food.

Later, his brother simply sent him an electronic version, which listed the materials that need to be hoarded before the earthquake, and asked him to buy all of them according to the list.

He also asked him to send a photo after buying it, and said he wanted to check it.

Gu Jiashu's father died early, and he and his mother have been cared for by the uncle's family for so many years.

He has long been accustomed to listening to his uncle listening to his cousin in big and small matters.

Therefore, his own family has a lot of stockpiles. If the house hadn't fallen directly into the cracks, it would not be too bad for him and his mother at this stage.

Therefore, Gu Jiashu is not surprised that the Shen family has a lot of things and eats well.

He just regretted that he didn't listen to him in the first place.

He has lived for more than 20 years, and has always been an obedient person, so he made his own decisions this time, but...

Thinking of this, Gu Jiashu's heart aches as if it were torn apart.

He didn't come for a reason.

If the uncle and cousin live in their own house, then if he is asked to move, he will definitely move, without a word.

But his uncle and cousin now live in the cousin's family.

They're in-laws, it's okay to live together, what would happen if he and his mother went to live with them?

This relative is too crooked.

When he said it, his mother and girlfriend also meant the same, and they all felt that it was a bit inappropriate to live in the past.

Besides, the community arrangement is quite good, and living in the city is not necessarily unsafe.

At this time, Gu Jiashu only hated that his face was not thicker and his attitude was not tougher at that time.

He should force his mother and girlfriend to move in together, even if they live for a few days!

After all, he was involved in building the houses on both sides, and he knew better than anyone how solid the house was.

The more she thought about Gu Jiashu, the more sad she felt in her heart, she couldn't help burying her head in the pillow again, and shed tears silently.

"Get up, such an adult, what are you doing lying down, get up to eat!"

He was not able to lie on the bed for too long, and was pulled from the bed by his uncle Gu Zhengchu just before dawn the next day.

Gu Jiashu rubbed his face and got out of bed.

Then he said, "Uncle, I'll go back after I stay for two days."

Gu Zhengchu glanced at him and didn't talk to him. He just said, "I have something to say after dinner.

" The Shen family said that someone came to the door.

The people who came were Shi Lei and Cao Hongmin.

Now is the busiest time of the community, the construction site outside is closed at night, and the work is in full swing.

Including Shen Jianyi and Gu Kai, they had to go out to help after breakfast, so the two of them suddenly came over, and everyone felt it was strange.

"Uncle Shen, didn't we bother you by coming so early?" Shi Lei was the first to speak after knocking on the door, his tone was very polite.

"Why bother, we're all ready to go to work. Why are you two running here now? What's wrong?"

Shen Jianyi asked while letting the two go into the courtyard.

"No, nothing happened, I just knew that your family had relatives coming from the city. Lao Cao and I thought about coming over to see

if there was any difficulty at home? The current situation."

Hearing what he said, Shen Jianyi nodded.

Then he took the initiative to explain: "It's your Uncle Gu's nephew. It was too chaotic before. It's not that the city is a little better, so he came over to see us.

He injured his leg and walked so far. I slept when I came yesterday. We didn't ask anything.

Just when you came, let's listen to him together."

After that, he brought the two of them into the room together.

This was the first time that Cao Hongmin had come back to the Shen family, including Shi Lei who had come twice before, but he had only entered the courtyard and not the house.

Both of them couldn't help chatting with Shen Jianyi while looking at the yard calmly.

No one in the entire community was not curious about the Shen family.

Everyone felt that their family was not so lucky that they were able to overhaul the house just in time for the earthquake.

Such a strong earthquake, the courtyard wall did not collapse!

How strong this house has to be built, how God help them!

But when they really entered the hospital, and it was during the day, they were able to see the situation in the hospital clearly, and the two felt that what people said was a bit exaggerated.

If nothing else, what happened to the steel building in the backyard?

Completely useless!

The scattered and broken walls and roofs...

At first glance, they were all made of good materials, and they were newly built.

Completely scrapped now.

Just like this, the small hundreds of thousands went in, right?

Shi Lei is an architectural designer, and when he glanced at it, he twitched in distress.

Feel so miserable!

In the living room, this feeling is even deeper.

The sofa was obviously repaired, the wall on which the TV was hung was bare at the moment, and the TV must have been scrapped.

The top half of the Bogu shelf nailed to the wall is gone, and the bottom half is used as a place to put debris. At this moment, it is full of stainless steel bowls for children, plastic milk bottles and so on.

In the center of the room was a pile of picked up rubble. After neatly arranged, a table with no legs was placed on it, which seemed to be used as a dining table.

This is completely different from the rich man who lives in the villa in everyone's imagination.

Seeing such a scene, both of them couldn't help sighing in their hearts.

I feel that everyone is equal in the face of natural disasters.

After knowing the intention of the two of them, Jiashu told everyone about the situation in the city.

The Shen family all sat down and listened together.

Because I just arrived yesterday, and I came to report the funeral, in fact, Jiashu didn't say much about the outside world.

Listening to his description now, everyone's heart is like being squeezed and twisted hard, and it hurts and throbs.

Even Shen Cong felt uncomfortable hearing it.

After he described it, everyone really couldn't even speak, and the hopes that the two had held before they came were almost extinguished.

Knowing that the relatives of the Shen family came from the city, Shi Lei and the others really held out hope.

I think this should be because the city is settled and the road is easy to go, otherwise who will come to the countryside at this time?

But who would have imagined that the situation in the city is even worse than that in the countryside!

Thinking of this, Cao Hongmin glanced at Shi Lei quietly, but there was no expression on his face.

This annoyed him.

But he was in charge of the internal affairs of the community, and he had to ask about it.

So he smiled, and then asked in a very kind tone: "Xiao Gu, are you here to stay at your uncle's house this time, or do you just come and see?"

The people watching the Shen family raised their heads at the same time When his eyelids were lifted, he quickly waved his hand and explained, "Don't think too much, don't think too much, I'm just asking, nothing else. You all know that guests in our community always have to register."

Shen Jianyi snorted.

In a half-casual tone, he said, "I have lived here for several years, how could I never know that our property has been so conscientious?

When there was no accident in the past, I didn't see a relative from anyone. You came to the door to ask when they left. What's the matter, is this because we are afraid that our Shen family can't afford to support relatives and cause trouble to the community?

Don't worry, we will not take less of the materials that should be received, and we will not take more of the materials that should not be received.

With so many people in my family, whoever saves a mouthful of food is enough for my nephew, and will never take advantage of the community! Hearing what

he said, Gu Jiashu was the first to be unable to sit still. He was about to speak, but was held down by Shen Cong.     Cao

Hongmin was immediately blush.

Knowing that Shen Jianyi was telling the truth, he didn't know what to do for a while.

Shi Lei quickly explained: "Uncle Shen, Auntie, Uncle Gu, don't be angry, we really don't mean that. Having

said this, he sighed: "Don't think too much, Lao Cao and I actually don't want to ask this question, it seems that people are too thin and have no human feelings at all.

But isn't it impossible?

We are not afraid to speak out and shame. We came this time to ask about the situation outside, and on the other hand, we really wanted to know about Xiao Gu's next plan.

Our community now relies on government relief for its supplies, and the relief food is by human hair. We all know that the town specially sent someone to count it.

If there is a permanent resident at home, you still have to go to the town to register..."

"If you don't have rules, you can't make a circle, you are right. I don't want to care about you, the main reason is that my nephew came to your door as soon as he came, and it was like what our family was thinking. "

Shen Jianyi interrupted him and said bluntly. The

two nodded quickly and apologized in a chorus.

"Don't worry, our family has a large population and a lot of labor. How can we solve the problem of eating, we won't eat too much." occupy. "Shen Jianyi added again.

After hearing him say this, Shi Lei and Cao Hongmin really couldn't sit any longer. They stood up and said their goodbyes with embarrassed expressions on their faces.

At this time, Gu Jiashu opened his mouth.

He said, "The two leaders, are they leaders? Don't go away, just listen to me."

Shi Lei and the two stopped at the same time.

Jiashu smiled at them and explained, "I'm here this time to see what's going on at home. When such a big incident happened, my relatives are all here, and I'm not at ease in the city alone

. After reading it, I know that they are good in all aspects, so I feel at ease.

I will not live here for a long time, and I will return to the city after a few days of rest to support my legs, so I don't have to go to the town to report. .Trouble

the two leaders, if anyone in the community asks, let me know, I won't stay here for a long time, and I won't take up the rations of our community, so don't think about it."

Hearing him make such a promise, Shen Jianyi's face changed. Suddenly changed, turned around immediately, with a posture that he was going to have a good fight with him.

Gu Jiashu also quickly stood up, walked over to support his arm, and said with a smile, "Uncle, don't be angry, I know you're doing it for my own good, so listen to my reasons first.

" It's too bitter, and it may be that the person closest to him has left -

this little bit of Shen Jianyi's kindness from the elders made Jiashu's eyes inexplicably burst into tears.

He lowered his head and calmed down for a while before speaking again.

"The city is quite chaotic, but it's not impossible to survive. On the contrary, there are still plenty of opportunities. Every place needs to be rebuilt, not to mention the private ones, and the government has been recruiting workers. Build roads and build bridges. Ah, and garbage removal, these all need people.

So, if you want to survive in the city, as long as you are willing to do your best, there is no problem at all.

I have been helping in the first aid station a few days ago.

At that time, my legs hadn't recovered, and I couldn't do heavy work, but I could still do things like washing gauze and cleaning. Just a little bit of work is enough for me to eat every day.

I have already thought about it. When my legs recover, I will sign up to repair the road. I heard that the treatment of the road is quite good. I will give you grade points regardless of the three meals a day. It is said that in the future, based on their GPA, they will be given priority to rent the resettlement housing built by the government. Hearing what

he said, both Shi Lei and Cao Hongmin's eyes lit up again. The

two didn't say that they left, and sat down again. Shi Lei urged, "Can you tell me in detail?" Gu Jiashu told them in detail about the

government's recent new policy.

Although it can be heard that it is only temporary, it is quite able to calm the hearts of the people.

Beining now calls on everyone to save their homes together.

Except for some special circumstances, such as injury The disabled, the old and the young, who do lose their labor force, can go to a special place to receive food according to the head every day, and the rest of the people must rely on labor to earn their rations.

In the earliest days, the government used currency to settle accounts and distribute money on a daily basis. For two days, everyone didn't want money.

Because the currency depreciated too fast, and money couldn't buy anything, so later recruited workers and settled with food.

In addition, a grade point system was adopted, and everyone who went to work They will give you a small notebook, how much work you have done, and how many GPAs will be recorded in the small notebook every day.

The government promises that in the future, whether you are renting or buying things, you will be given priority to exchange GPAs.

Gu Jiashu said, and from In the small bag I brought with me, I took out a small notebook about the size of a driver's license for everyone to see.

"It is said that such a notebook is also temporary. In the future, when the electricity and the network are restored, it will be made into an electronic version, with a real-name system. Don't be afraid to lose it. "

This is simply the best news that everyone has heard recently, and Shi Lei and the two are also very happy.

Gu Jiashu looked at them and suggested: "I see that people in the community are building houses recently, so don't say anything. When the house is built, you can actually go out for a walk, there are still opportunities outside. After all, it depends on labor. Is it better to eat than to stay at home and wait for relief? Maybe this relief won't last long."

Both of them nodded in agreement.

After seeing them off, Shen Jianyi and Gu Kai didn't rush out to work, and the family sat together and talked for a while.

Shen Jianyi still had the same meaning, determined not to let Gu Jiashu go back, and let him live here with peace of mind from now on.

The thinking of the old man is different from that of the young man. He is also in his sixties, so he can understand Gu Zhengchu's psychology in particular.

During these days, he watched his old brother worry about his sister and nephew every day. He couldn't sleep well, and he was also worried.

The family tree has suffered so much in the city, the family is gone, the mother is gone, and there is only one child left alone.

He felt that his brother must be reluctant to let this nephew go back.

But if you stay at the family tree, Brother Gu must be hard to say, after all, this is his own house after all.

Then it's up to him.

But Jiashu obviously really doesn't want to stay here, his tone is good, but his attitude is very firm.

He said, "Uncle, I know you and Auntie are sincere in keeping me, and I'm not being polite to you. We are a family, and I won't turn around and talk nonsense with you. I have to go back."

He smiled bitterly: "I'm twenty-seven this year, and an earthquake shattered my life, causing my family to be destroyed and nothing left. But

since I haven't died, I have to figure out how to live in the future!

I know that I'm staying here, my home People will treat me very well, and we can live well together as a family.

But what can I do?

There is no shortage of labor in our family, and I don't have any special skills. I can't help the family by staying here. Seeing

that Shen Jianyi was about to refute, he quickly continued: "Uncle, I have to stand on my own. Now that there is a chance in the city, I will fight, and I have to make a home for myself.

I thought that while I was young and energetic, I would work hard, maybe within two years, I would stand up again. " No one

can refute this.

Gu Jiashu is not an incompetent person, otherwise he would not be able to make enough money to make a down payment and buy a house in his twenties.

This kind of person is not unless you kill him with a stick . , as long as he is given a chance, he can stand up again.

Shen Jianyi can't say anything to save him.

Seeing that his father was silent, Shen Cong only opened his mouth, and she asked the question she had been thinking about.

"Jiashu, you are in the city. Have you visited Fulin in the past few days, do you know what's going on there? "

Gu Jiashu shook his head in shame.

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I really didn't have time to see it." I came home from the emergency station first, and then went to find Tingting. I haven't even found their corpses here, and the whole city has been slaughtered over there. When the disinfecting is over, I will rush here. "

His voice became very painful again.

"It's okay, I'm just asking." "

Shen Cong reassured: "Anyway, your brother and I have been discussing going back for the past few days, and we will naturally know what happens when we go back. Gu Jiashu wiped his eyes and said, "

Fulin is in Beicheng, which is said to be the least affected place in Beining." It is said that many houses over there have been preserved. You can go back and have a look. I don't think anything will happen to Fulin, and the house is newly built a few years ago.

Hearing them talking about going back to the city, Gu Zhengchu, who had never spoken, finally said: "Don't rush back, wait for the family tree . Wait for his legs to be raised for a few more days, then you will walk together and there will be someone to take care of him on the way. "

The meaning of the old man's words is obvious. He agreed with Jiashu to return to the city.

Since he had spoken, Shen Cong and his wife naturally agreed.

Gu Jiashu stayed at the Shen family for a week.

This week, apart from talking with his uncle and the second elder of the Shen family, he spent the rest of the time in the newly built nursery room on the third and fourth floors.

Gu Jiashu lived in the countryside when he was a child, until his father died when he was in junior high school.

So when it comes to those things in the fields, it can't be compared with the real crops, but compared with Shen Jianyi, he is really not bad.

After hearing Shen Jianyi tell him about the family's next plan, and knowing that this side is going to start a small farm at home, grow vegetables, raise fish, and possibly even grow food at home, Jiashu shows an envious look.

"That's why I said you don't have to leave! It's not like there's no work to do at home. When this is done, our own family may not have enough work to do!" Shen Jianyi started another round of lobbying.     Jiashu smiled and said, "I need help and I'll come back! Now that I'm working, it

's enough for my aunt and sister Xiaoxi to take a look. There's no need to stare."

Ask: "Uncle, do you have a lot of vegetables here? Can you give me some? I don't want more, and I don't have room to grow more, so you can give me some cabbage or something, and I'll get a pot to plant it on. , I will also eat some green leafy vegetables in the future."

How could Shen Jianyi not agree? Immediately let him find Shen Congna.

Shen Cong had other plans.

Instead of planting vegetables for the Gu family tree, she told him that everything would be read after returning to the city.

Gu Jiashu was a little timid towards this cousin, but after hearing her say that, he didn't even dare to ask anything else when he went back to the city.

The day they decided to go back to the city, Cheng Ru got up early in the morning and worked in the kitchen for a long time to prepare a lot of food for the three of them.

Of course most of them are for the family tree.

All kinds of vacuum-packed beef, sausage, and ham prepared a big bag for him.

Gu Jiashu, who was directly installed, repeatedly refused, saying that he had no place to put it back. He lived in the collective Chase at night, so it was inconvenient to carry these.

Cheng Ru then stopped helplessly.

The way back to the city was actually pretty smooth.

First of all, the passage to the town has been opened.

Then it is estimated that later, for the convenience of walking, everyone specially leveled the road, and those too bumpy ditches disappeared.

So, although it's not particularly flat, at least you don't have to be afraid of being tripped over at any time when you walk.

It's better to go through that passage.

The unbuilt community has now become a temporary station for the engineering team, where they pick up and dispatch work.

People in the neighborhood know that they will find it here when they need an engineering team.

In order to facilitate the transportation of goods, and they have equipment, the road here is much better than the other side of the passage.

Shen Cong felt that even a car should be able to barely pass.

But such a good road disappeared after leaving the town.

The road after that is a bit similar to the state that Shen Cong and the others walked through when they first went out. Obviously, everyone's progress has not caught up, and the area with less traffic can't be taken care of for a while.

And this also made the couple truly feel the disaster brought by the earthquake once again.

The location of Qingshan Town is right in the middle of Bac Ninh and Yingshui community.

It took the three of them more than two hours to walk from the community to Qingshan Town, but they walked for a long time from Qingshan to the city.

It was dark when we entered the city.

Fortunately, the three of them discussed it on the way, and went straight to Fulin after returning, so they detoured a little and entered the city from the north of the city.

In this way, from entering the city to Fulin, they walked for about an hour and then arrived.

Walking down the road, Shen Cong believed what Jiashu said before, the disaster situation in Beicheng was indeed much better than other places.

At least where they have walked so far, they can still recognize where it is.

Even if the house collapses, even if the road is broken, if you look closely, you can at least see some shadows from before.

Unlike other places, they had passed by the east side of Bac Ninh before and found that the expressway over there was broken.

There was a big gap between the entrance of the city and the expressway. The location of the entrance was squeezed up and hung high in the air. It looked a bit ridiculous and chilling.

The more the three of them walked, the more hope they felt, because this place was really different from other places. Not to mention that there were no big cracks around, they had already seen several tall buildings standing on both sides along the way.

Sure enough, after walking for another twenty minutes, Gu Kai excitedly raised the volume and said, "Home is still there!" As

he spoke, he raised the emergency light in his hand high.

In the dim yellow light, the three of them really saw a few tall black shadows in the distance.

Looking at the location, it is the direction of Fulin Community.

The three walked faster, and even the previous fatigue seemed to be much less.

It's a pity that when I was about to reach the community, I still encountered a roadblock.

In front of them appeared a large piece of building ruins.

It can be seen that it should be the collapse of the multi-storey houses in front of several high-rise buildings.

These multi-storey residences do not belong to the Fulin Community, but are a family home of the unit in front of the community.

The houses are very old and densely built.

Now it collapsed into a large area, blocking the passage to Fulin.

The three stood helplessly in front of the ruins.

Mainly because it's already dark, and now the whole city has no electricity, let alone the street lights.

It's pitch black everywhere.

It is too dangerous to rely on an emergency light to find a way in such a completely unfamiliar and particularly bad environment.

Even if the three of them were in a hurry, they had to choose to find a place nearby to make do with it for a night, and then try to find a way to go home after dawn.

Fortunately, three people who might stay overnight in the wild were also prepared in advance.

With the family tree around, Shen Cong couldn't take things out of the space, so they prepared sleeping bags and moisture-proof pads in advance.

These were all carried on Gu Kai's back.

The three of them found a relatively flat place, spread the moisture barrier and sat down.

After taking out some food and eating a little, the three of them immediately fell asleep exhausted without saying a word.

Because everyone knows that tomorrow there are many things waiting ahead, and no one wants to waste energy in other areas.

It was early in the summer, and all three woke up before six o'clock the next day.

They tidied up casually and started looking for their way home.

In fact, after waking up, the three of them were very happy, because with the dawn, the houses in the distance could be seen more clearly.

They are now very sure that Fulin's house has not collapsed, and their home is still there!

This keeps them motivated, even if they are still tired.

Several people walked around the ruins for a long time, but could not find a suitable way to pass.

As a result, the collapsed houses are next to each other, and the overlapping is too high!

It is impossible to cross from above.

Furthermore, the firmness of the walls of this old house is incomparable to the high-rise buildings built later.

For example, Shen Cong and Gu Kai dared to walk through the passage formed by the high-rise fracture in the middle of the town, but they did not dare to walk among the wreckage of these buildings.

Because these walls are all shattered. Even those that seem to have support and have not collapsed for the time being, no one can guarantee that it will not suddenly collapse in the next moment.

Don't take such a risk.

Fortunately, in the end, they were relatively lucky, and after turning around for more than an hour, they encountered a passerby.

After offering a package of compressed biscuits as payment, the man promised to take them to Fulin through a newly carved path.

Gu Jiashu's distressed eyes and nose were wrinkled when he heard his cousin said that he wanted to give that person a pack of compressed biscuits.

But after following the man around, he had to admit that he couldn't do without the biscuits!

Because that road is so hard to find!

Not to mention several inexplicably extra aisles, I even had to pass through several collapsed first-floor homes!

People who have not lived in this courtyard for a long time can't find such a way even if they are killed!

It was almost noon when the three of them finally arrived at the door of the house.

Although the surrounding environment has been greatly damaged, the building where they live is basically unchanged from the outside.

Only the roof of the underground garage in front of the building collapsed, and the garage was covered so tightly that it almost ceased to exist.

In addition, the glass door of the lobby on the first floor was completely missing, and the vending machines in the lobby were also gone.

However, this is already hundreds of times better than they expected!

The three of them took a short rest downstairs before starting to climb the stairs.

The nineteenth floor is a daunting goal, but it's nothing scary compared to walking all day.

Shen Cong still carried the big bag, but quietly moved the contents of the bag into the space.

She also moved the heavy things in his bag while standing behind Gu Kai.

Only the family tree can't do it.

Fortunately, because his leg was injured, the backpack he originally carried was the lightest of the three, so it shouldn't be too difficult to go upstairs.

The three of them climbed up the stairs, and along the way they even met several neighbors who lived on the lower floors.

They are up and down, but almost all of them have buckets and basins in their hands, and some people have big mineral water buckets for drinking fountains.

"Is the water truck delivering water now?" Shen Cong asked subconsciously.

"Yeah, now most of the city has to rely on water trucks to deliver water. The underground water pipes in the city are basically useless. Although they have been talking about urgent repairs, they have not seen any results after so long. I still don't know what. Only then can tap water flow." Jiashu said with emotion.

In his last life, the drought lasted for two whole years, and Shen Cong was used to this kind of water truck for water supply.

Hearing Jiashu's words, he just nodded without much emotion.

Gu Kai was clearly shocked.

He looked up at the stairs and muttered in a low voice, "Fortunately, I don't live here, otherwise I could kill me by lifting water every day!" He

laughed at Jiashu.

He couldn't help but tease: "Brother, don't be in the midst of blessings and don't know the blessings. How many people don't have a chance to lift water like this! You let me live here, I'm not afraid of being killed."

Shen Cong rolled his eyes at him: " Didn't I bring you here to let you live here, otherwise why did we wait for you for a few days?"

One sentence shook the family tree to the ground.

"Sister-in-law, this house... do you really let me live?" He couldn't help but ask again.

"Otherwise?" Shen Cong asked back: "My house is empty, I'm idle, I'll leave it for nothing, and then let you go to sleep at Datongpu? You really don't think of me as a sister-in-law!"

Gu Jiashu's face suddenly turned purple . .

Several people were talking, but they did not delay climbing the stairs, and they finally climbed to the top floor.

Because knowing that he can live here, the family tree looks more excited than the couple, his legs don't hurt anymore, and there seems to be a spring under his feet when he walks.

The first one ran out of the corridor.

But as soon as he exited the corridor, he stopped, and he braked suddenly, almost preventing Gu Kai, who followed closely, from hitting him directly!

"What are you doing, why are you so reckless." Gu Kai pushed him angrily.

Jiashu didn't say anything, just pointed to the front.

The couple looked forward together, only to realize that the aisle leading from the elevator entrance to their own house was sealed on both sides with broken furniture, rotten wood and stones.

In the middle, there was a small passage that allowed one person to pass through, but at the moment, there was a broken iron door that was half rotten.

Shen Cong pushed forward, but did not push.

It seemed that there must be something heavy behind the iron gate, which completely blocked their way home.

Chapter 35

The expressions of the three men sank.

Gu Kai took another step forward, grabbing the side of the iron door and shaking it a few times.

Then, a little girl's voice suddenly came from inside: "Who? Who are you? Don't come in! My brother is at home, I will ask my brother to come and beat you!"

She seemed to be more and more afraid.

The outsiders didn't say a word, but she made herself cry while she was talking.

She cried and shouted loudly: "Brother! Brother! Come and beat them!"

Hearing the voice, the child should be very young, and he was really frightened. A buzzing cry to the ears.

Gu Jiashu was the first to cover his ears.

"Fuck, how can this child cry like this!" he whispered, and then rubbed his ears.

Shen Cong glanced at him.

However, Gu Kai leaned forward again, leaned his face to the gap between the door and the wall and looked inside, then he tentatively shouted: "Can Can? Are you Shi Can?" The

little girl's cry Suddenly stopped.

She also seemed to be leaning closer to the crack of the door, but apparently she couldn't see the scene outside at all.

After a while, he sobbed and asked, "Who are you?"

Gu Kai breathed a sigh of relief.

He hurriedly said in a very gentle voice, "Cancan, I'm Uncle Gu opposite your house, do you still remember me? You even gave me a white rabbit toffee!

" Cong also remembered!

The little girl inside should be the child of the neighbor's house opposite them, Shi Can, their youngest daughter.

Because of the two lives, Shen Cong was about to forget the whole family, and only after her husband's reminder did she recall the appearance of the little girl.

This year, the little girl is not even six years old, is she?

Smaller than Tongtong!     Thinking of what the little girl

had cried before, Shen Cong's heart sank, and she asked subconsciously, "Cancan, I'm your Aunt Shen, where are your parents?"

I cried again and again!

With the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, the child cried out loudly: "Mom, I want mom! Mom, come back, come back! I don't want soda, I want mom!"

The voice was sharp and shrill, and the three of them felt their scalps numb.

Gu Kai didn't hold back and took two steps back.

The husband and wife looked at each other, and knew in their hearts that the child's parents must have been killed.

But why is she locked in the house?

Where is the brother who has been shouting in her mouth?

"The door has to be opened." Shen Cong said in a deep voice.

The other two nodded together.

Before the three of them could make a move, the sound of tom-tom-tom footsteps came from the corridor.

The voice was urgent and stumbling, and you could hear how flustered people were at the moment.

The three turned their heads at the same time, and before they could speak, they saw a white object smashing straight at them!

The three of them were startled and ducked to the side at the same time. The object fell to the ground, bounced again, and then rolled out a long way.

Only then did they realize that the thing turned out to be an empty oil drum that had been washed.

"Go! Don't stand in front of our house, let me go!" A boy came up, about sixteen or seventeen years old.

The cry of his sister obviously angered him, and the child went crazy.

He didn't take a close look at the three of them, picked up the oil can and swung it on the head of the tree closest to him!

While scolding, "I told you to bully my sister! I'll die!"

Gu Jiashu avoided helplessly, and Shen Cong and Gu Kai stepped forward to stop them.

The three of them pulled and tugged, and in the end Gu Kai simply hugged the boy's waist and pulled him aside, and then yelled at him, "Shi Chen, calm down for me!

" Calling his name, the boy's tense body loosened a little, and the eyes that had become red were somewhat clear.

He raised his head to look at Shen Cong who was facing him, hesitated for a while before calling out, "Auntie?"

Shen Cong breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he replied: "It's me, your neighbor Aunt Shen." The

boy's face suddenly showed a look of embarrassment, his body was stiff, and he was a little stupid standing there, as if he didn't know how to face them.

Gu Kai let go of him.

Then he rubbed the top of his sweat-drenched head in distress, and said, "Open the door, don't frighten Cancan."

At this time, Cancan was separated by a door because he heard the outside sound of fighting.

But she couldn't see the situation, she had already cried so much that it was no longer a human voice, and her heart trembled when she heard it.

Shi Chen quickly walked to the small iron gate to coax his sister.

"Cancan don't cry, my brother is back. You open the door and let us in. Be obedient, you open the door."

He said it several times before the cry of the little girl inside gradually stopped.

Then slowly, there was the sound of heavy objects pushing, and then there was the noise of iron objects rubbing against each other.

I don't know what the little girl was fiddling with inside, and it took a while for the little door to be opened with a small crack.

"You go to the station next to you." Shi Chen said to his sister very gently.

The little girl inside was still sobbing, and while she was burping, her grandmother replied, "Okay."

Shi Chen was very patient at the moment, but he waited for a while, and only after making sure that his sister had escaped. He pushed hard towards the iron door.

The sound of heavy objects rubbing against the ground was heard again.

Then everyone watched as the door was pushed open, leaning on a pile of construction waste bags that were in a mess and didn't know what they were.

There was a very narrow path that could only allow one person to pass sideways.

Several people walked in together with Shi Chen.

Shi Chen quickly walked over to pick up his sister, hugged her in his arms and coaxed her slowly, but Shen Cong turned his head and glanced at the iron door that had been pushed open.

Only then did she notice that there was a drilled hole on the iron door. It must have been newly drilled, and an iron ring was nailed to the wooden wall parallel to the hole.

At this moment, there is a stainless steel rolling pin on the ground next to the plank, and a wooden crate for feet.

It seems that the brothers and sisters used this rolling pin to fasten the door from the inside.

She deliberately went to look at the pile of rubbish, and then found another interesting situation.

Most of the earth and stone bricks blocked behind the door were placed in fixed positions, and they were numerous and heavy. It seemed that at least with Cancan's little effort, they could never be moved.

But there was a small bag of stones next to the door and the garbage heap, but it was placed on a small wooden board. Two swivel wheels were installed under the board, and I don't know what furniture they were removed from.

It can be seen that it is this bag of things that Cancan should move just now.

Because it's on wheels, it shouldn't be too difficult for even a child like Cancan to move.

After her brother went out, the little girl moved the bag of garbage between the door and the garbage pile, and fastened the buckle of the universal wheel, so that all the garbage bags became one, and the door was tightly blocked, unless there was a lot of strength. People, otherwise it will be difficult to push away.

When her brother came back, the little girl removed the board with the pulley and the rolling pin, and Shi Chen's own strength was enough to push the door open.

Shen Cong took a deep look at the boy, and at the same time he was amazed at his intelligence, his heart was also extremely heavy.

What happened in this building to scare the two children like this?

Let's not talk about how much brains Shi Chen has spent on such an arrangement, how many ways he has thought of, just these things...

It is a huge project to bring so many stones and bricks up from downstairs little by little!

This is the nineteenth floor!

While Shen Cong was still staring at the arrangements, Shi Chen had already coaxed his sister.

He came over and apologized to the three of them: "Uncle, auntie, it was my fault just now. I was too anxious and didn't look carefully. I almost hurt you. I'm so sorry, don't be angry."

Gu Kai patted him on the back. Pai, sighed: "Don't talk about this, you are also worried about Cancan."

Shi Chen was silent for a while, and then explained: "The upstairs has been quiet these days, especially in the days before the killing began, every day People from outside ran upstairs.

They knocked on the door next to the house. If they couldn't open it, they smashed it or pried it. They occupied many vacant houses.

On this floor, we were the only family that lived before you came back. No one came back from your house and the two houses opposite.

They knocked on the door several times, and also knocked on your house. I was afraid that they would occupy the house, so I found a reason to deal with it.

Recently, they may have found out that I lied to them and came again. I took a few people with me, and I was a little worried..."

Before Shi Chen finished speaking, Can Can, who had already slowed down, started to interject.

"It's bad! When they beat my brother, they also beat Cancan!" The

little girl may feel that she has confidence when she sees someone she knows.

It's also possible that I haven't seen adults for a long time. When I see them, I feel that someone is supporting me, and I rush to complain to them.

"They have a stick, beat your brother! Bad guys! They're going to enter the house!"

The expressions of the three people changed suddenly.

"Are you injured?" Gu Kai asked while looking at Shi Chen.

"It's alright." Shi Chen shook his head and made a disdainful look: "They just pretended to be powerful, and they would be cowardly when I took out a knife."

After that, he looked at the three again: "Gu Gu Uncle, Aunt Shen, I made the door like this without your consent, don't you mind?"

The house on Fulin's side is the kind of two-ladder four-family house. In the middle is the elevator room. There is a passage on both sides of the elevator, and there is a family at each end of the passage.

Another door opened next to the elevator to the east, leading to the stairwell.

The Shi Chen brothers and sisters sealed the position between the elevator room and the passage on their side, that is, they sealed his house and Shen Cong's house inside together.

This is understandable, because their siblings are too weak, and Shi Chen probably doesn't want Shen Cong's family to be occupied by outsiders.

This floor is less occupied by one set, and the security of their living environment is higher.

"I don't mind, but my uncle's house has a more suitable door. Let's replace that door together later." Gu Kai said.

Hearing that there are more suitable doors, Shi Chen showed a surprised expression.

However, Gu Jiashu suddenly realized: "Brother, you bought an extra security door just to keep it here! Isn't it right, can the two of you know what to expect?"

When the house was renovated, Shen Cong ordered a total of three security doors.

Two were installed at the front door, and there was a folding sliding door similar to the one commonly used in street shops. After receiving the goods, they were kept at home. Neither of the couple mentioned the installation.

At the beginning, Jiashu still thought it was strange, and asked his brother several times why he bought this door? When will it be installed?

They were all put off by Gu Kai.

Over time he forgot.

Unexpectedly, Gu Kai mentioned it again at this moment.

"What kind of prophet. We wanted to install it at the entrance of the rooftop, but the property didn't agree, so it was useless to keep it there.

Isn't it just right, it's also suitable to put it here. Come in and work, you talk more. "I

'm not annoyed at being trained by my cousin, Jiashu, anyway, he hasn't been trained once or twice since he was a child.

With an "oh", he followed the two into the house, but he still felt that something was wrong.

What kind of sliding door is installed on the roof, and that door is not afraid of being exposed to the rain when it is installed outdoors?

But anyway, now that I'm uneasy, it doesn't matter.

He threw aside all the mess in his mind and followed Gu Kai to carry the door down from the upstairs.

Shen Cong took Cancan and brought her home.

She took out a wet tissue from her bag and wiped the child's face, then took out a bottle of mineral water and handed it over.

The child said obediently, "Thank you."

Then he held the bottle and drank half of the bottle in one breath. At first glance, he was thirsty.

Ke Cancan only drank half of the bottle before putting down the bottle, then screwed the bottle cap on carefully, and cherished it by his side.

"You can drink it. Auntie still has it here. I'll give it to your brother later when he comes over." Shen Cong said.

Cancan showed a shy expression, but shook his head: "No need, I'll just give my brother a drink."

After that, she looked at Shen Cong and said seriously, "Auntie, water is very expensive now. Don't give it to others casually, but cherish it."

The little girl's eyes are black and white, shining brightly, and they look extremely pure.

However, Shen Cong's heart felt sour again.

In fact, they were not close to the Shi family before.

First of all, because the two of them have not lived here for a long time, and they are not familiar with the surrounding neighbors.

Another point is that Shi Chen was admitted to the No. 1 Middle School the year before last.

Shi No. 1 Middle School is the best high school in Bac Ninh, and every parent wants their child to be admitted.

But the school was on the outskirts of the city, and it was an old campus with poor accommodation.

Therefore, many people start renting a house nearby to accompany their children from the day they are admitted to the university, and accompany them until their children are admitted to university.

The Shi family is also a family of accompanying students.

Therefore, Shen Cong and their family did not know how many times they would meet each other in a year.

Before the home decoration, it may be in time for Shi Chen's final exam, and they have never seen this family during the whole decoration process.

This is also the reason why all three of them didn't think about the neighbor's house when they saw that the door to the aisle was sealed.

When Gu Kai and Gu Jiashu moved the door to the passage, Shi Chen came back from downstairs.

He went out to fetch water just now, and when he was halfway there, he heard his sister's cry, and he rushed up when he didn't want any more water!

There was no other way, so I had to mention it again.

At this moment, he was holding the white oil barrel in one hand and a large mineral water barrel in the other.

Tired and sweating, panting.

The boy's body has not yet fully grown, and he is still in high school, studying hard. He looks thin and tall, like a bamboo pole in his clothes.

T-shirts are all over the body.

The two buckets of water were brought up, and the boy's lips were white with exhaustion.

The veins on the back of the hands bulged even higher.

Seeing his appearance, Jiashu was the first to notice the problem and asked aloud, "Child, have you eaten today?"

Shi Chen looked up at him, pursed his lips and didn't answer.

Jiashu sneered: "I'm not too old, and my temper is not too small. I didn't care about you when you hit me just now. Do you think I'm not good at speaking?"

He smiled again and stretched out his hand. He patted Shi Chen on the shoulder: "Don't think too much, I don't see what you mean, just... I didn't understand what my brother called you just now."

"Shi Chen." The young man replied coldly.

Jiashu didn't care about his attitude at all.

He asked again: "Shi Chen, have you eaten yet? Have you and your sister not eaten since morning?"

"I did."

Seeing that his brother didn't speak, he was following Shen Cong's side. Can answered for him: "I ate half a block of instant noodles, and I'm full!"

She said and touched her belly.

Half a piece of instant noodles.

Sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy who is in puberty can eat half a block of instant noodles?

Moreover, looking at Shi Chen's appearance, it's very likely that he didn't eat it at all, and it's not necessarily that he saved the noodles to his sister.

Without saying a word, Jiashu went back to the house and took a biscuits with beef from his backpack and stuffed it directly into Shi Chen's hand.

"Eat, and then work."

The biscuits had been in the bag for two days. Although they weren't broken, they looked a little out of shape.

The biscuits became soft.

But at this time, this kind of cake is also a rare delicacy.

Shi Chen immediately refused.

Gu Kai stopped and said, "Eat it. After eating, come over and work together. All these things have to be thrown downstairs. This is manual work.

As he said, he pointed at the "big project" that Shi Chen had done before.

Shi Chen's face blushed, he didn't refuse any more, but reached out to tear the biscuits, and he could see that he wanted to share a portion for his sister.

"Eat it by yourself, we won't eat that, we will eat buns." Shen Cong stopped him.

As she spoke, she tore open a small package of honey bread in her hand and brought it to Cancan's mouth.

Shi Chen lowered his head, took a big bite on the biscuits, and chewed hard.

He used slightly exaggerated movements to cover up the flickering fragility in his eyes.

Shi Chen hadn't cried for a long time, and he only cried once after his parents died.

He always felt that the death of his parents was inseparable from him.

If it wasn't to accompany him, the family would not have moved to the school, nor would there be no food at home.

If it wasn't for his tuition at school, they could have come back a few days earlier.

Parents don't have to take the risk and grab time to buy food for the family after the government has issued an earthquake warning.

If...

there are no more ifs.

The moment he saw his parents' bodies being dug up from the supermarket, Shi Chen knew that he was no longer qualified to cry.

Parents are gone, the pillars of the family are gone, but the family cannot be without.

As long as he is alive, he must carry his home.

At the same time, there is also a bright future.

Shi Chen felt that he was able to be very strong, and he didn't hesitate to face such a group of villains!

But, Uncle Gu touched his head, and Aunt Shen gave his sister a bun... which made his eyes wet again.

Shi Chen finished eating the sesame cakes in two or three, and then the four of them worked together to throw all the construction waste downstairs.

The stones and planks were not lost, they were neatly stacked in the corridor, ready to be kept for later use.

To say it is a backup is actually an excuse to put it bluntly.

Because there are too many things, people are too tired, after all, this is the nineteenth floor!

After going up and down empty-handed so many times, people are almost gone, not to mention having to move things.

After this day, the three of the Shen family valued Shi Chen even more, and they only felt that the tenacity of this child was really hard to underestimate.

The four of them are exhausted, and the garbage has not been completely thrown away. How did he bring it up in the same way? !

When I asked him, he simply said, "I used pancakes to let someone help me lift the door."

But it wasn't just the door that came up!

At noon, the two families ate together, and they still ate what Cheng Ru brought them.

In the afternoon, I sorted out some bits and pieces, and then a few people helped to fix the door together. Shi Chen took the key and took his sister home.

It could be seen that he was very afraid of Shen Cong and the others to keep them for dinner.

In order to take care of the children's emotions, the three did not stay this time.

The next day, none of the three went out, and all stayed at home to clean up the house.

Although the house did not collapse, it did not mean that it was not damaged.

This earthquake happened so suddenly that Shen Cong didn't have a chance to come back early to pack up the things in the house, so the tragic situation in the house at this time can be imagined.

The furniture was all smashed into a mess, and the decorative paintings on the walls that didn't make it to the ground fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

The worst part was the kitchen. Not to mention the glass of the two sliding doors were all shattered, and several hanging cabinets fell down, smashing the kitchen countertop.

The only thing that is fortunate is that when they moved to the villa, they removed all the kitchen utensils in the house, so as not to see the scene of pots and pans being broken.

A water tank installed before the roof fell from the fixed shelf, and the sharp metal corners stabbed into the cracks of the floor tiles, destroying the waterproof layer.

The cameras installed outside didn't know where they were flying, and the solar panels were knocked off in several pieces.

Gu Jiashu didn't go out to find work, and spent a whole day working upstairs with his cousin.

And Shen Cong was cleaning up the mess downstairs.

Fortunately, the husband and wife thought of this situation before they came, and they had already said hello to their family. This time they will stay in the city for a few more days, so they are not in a hurry.

And after Gu Jiashu had already decided to find some relief and sleep in the Datong Shop, he was happy to have a big house to live in, so he naturally felt less panic.

Although there are a lot of things to do, the three of them don't feel too irritable.

The next night, the work was finally done, and the three of them sat down and seriously discussed the next step.

Gu Jiashu was the most optimistic of the three. He took the lead and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about me. I'm alone now, I don't have a burden, and I still have a place to live. I don't know how much better conditions are than others. Bei!

Just stay at the villa, I don't need to worry about it here, you just need to take good care of the old man."

"There is no food at all, what do you eat?" Shen Congcai asked directly, not listening to his nonsense.

"I'm going to look for work tomorrow."

"What if I can't find it? You also said that you have to register for work first, and then wait for the assignment. If there is no suitable one, you will be hungry?

" If I can't find a long-term worker, I'll take a part-time job."

Shen Cong shook his hand and interrupted his explanation.

Question: "The other day, you said that the price of grain has been rising, and the money is worthless. Does that mean that there are still people who are willing to sell grain, but the price is high?

" After regulation, the price will definitely come down.

By that time, wouldn't the people who sell grain make a lot of money now?"

Gu Jiashu came from a sales background, and he said these things naturally.

"Then if I give you money, can you buy it?" Shen Cong patiently waited for him to say a few more words before continuing to ask.

"Should be able to...?"

Jiashu was also a little uncertain: "Anyway, I saw someone selling it before I went to find you. But the price is really expensive.

It's the most common kind of rice in woven bags. They are all sold for fifty yuan a pound. Before, they were sold for two and five yuan!"

Fifty yuan a pound.

It was the same price that Yingshui Village asked for before.

Shen Cong and Gu Kai looked at each other, both of them wanted to laugh.

The two of them thought -

if Xu Liang knew that they maliciously raised the price at the beginning, the sky-high price marked has become the norm now, and it may even be sold at a low price, wouldn't it be maddening!

The money is worthless, and the rice sold will never come back no matter how much you think about it in the future.

Knowing that there might be a way for the family tree, Shen Cong walked into the house without saying a word, took out some banknotes from the space and gave them to him.

"Ten thousand yuan will be used to buy food tomorrow. You can buy as much as you can. What are you buying, don't choose, you want everything, no matter how expensive it is, don't be reluctant."

Gu Jiashu was startled.

He never thought that his brother and sister-in-law would carry so much cash when they went out.

He quickly waved his hand: "Sister-in-law doesn't need it, where can I use your money? I still have..."

"Can you get it in your card?" Shen Cong glanced at him.

The family tree was silent for a moment.

"It's not all for you. I just want to stock up as much as possible while you can still buy it. Try it first. If you can buy it, we'll have the money with you." She explained again.

This time the tree has nothing to say.

Because the earthquake came too suddenly, a week earlier than Shen Cong expected, so that their family's money was not spent in the end.

There are hundreds of thousands left.

When Shen Cong left the money, it was actually a speculative idea.

She originally wanted to go back to the city with Gu Kai after the aftershock, and then go to the antique market jade shop to buy some damaged jade.

After all, they only used jade to set up the formation, and they didn't care whether it was in good condition or not.

I believe that the price of those jade fragments will definitely be very cheap.

But no one expected that the big earthquake would follow the aftershocks, which caught people by surprise.

They still want to go to the antique market this time, but the couple both know that it is unlikely that they want to exchange money for jade now.

It is better to convert that money into food as much as possible.

Although Shen Cong knew that relying on family trees to buy from the market like this, it was impossible to exchange a lot.

But it can be exchanged for a little bit, and finally the money can be of some use before it is completely turned into waste paper.

Chapter 36

Jiashu took the money and went out early in the morning.

He said that he wanted to go to the market to try his luck first, to see if the grain sales outlets opened by the government were still there and whether there would be any grain for sale.

In the earliest days, in order to fear the collapse of the social order and fear of panic among the whole people, the government set up food sales points in many crowd gathering places, selling small amounts of food every day.

Although a person can buy not much, and sometimes you may not be able to queue for a long time, it is always better than nothing.

Not long after he went out, Shen Cong and his wife also went out.

But before going downstairs, they went to Shi's house.

Because the anti-theft door has been installed outside, the garbage in the passage has also been thrown down, and now the door of the two families will finally have no place to go.

Shi Chen should have swept the entire corridor in the morning. Although there was no watering, the entrances of the two doors were all clean, and there were even traces of the dirty parts of the walls that had been wiped with a rag.

Seeing the two of them couldn't help sighing in their hearts, it was really a pity that Shi Chen was born in a troubled world.

If there is no natural disaster, with his intelligence, his ability will definitely be able to live a good life in the future.

After reporting their names at the door, Shi Can quickly opened the door for the two of them, and then happily let them in.

Speaking of which, this was the first time that Shen Cong and his wife entered Shi's house.

Although the same home was destroyed in a bad way, from the remaining decorations and furniture, it can be seen that the days before the home should have been good, at least above the well-off.

But this is also normal. People who can afford a top-floor duplex will not be too poor.

But looking at the two thinly sliced ​​steamed buns that Shi Can was eating before the door was opened, Shen Cong and the others realized that there was no food at home for these two children.

Jiashu told them about the government’s standard for food when recruiting workers, and skilled workers are given the most preferential treatment.

They can usually get permanent jobs, so that even if they are short of food, they can pack two meals a day, and each meal can have two steamed buns or the same amount of other dry food.

In addition to this, you can also give a bowl of vegetable soup, and sometimes after working overtime or doing heavy and dirty work, you can also give a packet of small biscuits and shredded mustard as a subsidy.

Then there is the coolie, which will be given according to the amount of work.

Generally, if you work for a long time, you will be given a steamed bun or sesame cake, and you will also be given a bowl of miscellaneous grain porridge.

Although the porridge can't be said to be unstoppable with chopsticks, if it is just relying on it, it can be filled with water.

Not enough to eat but certainly not hungry.

This is the kind of work that everyone likes the most, and most hope to get it, because if you control your food and eat less for one job, you can almost support two people.

In addition, there is another kind of lightest work that Jiashu did in the hospital before, such as washing gauze, wiping the body of patients, and cleaning.

However, this is usually a special post for people who are old or who have not recovered from the disease. They will give you a steamed bun after working for a long time to ensure that you have food to eat.

But other than that, nothing else will be given.

But this kind of job has requirements for applicants, so it is very difficult to find.

It is luck to meet, and there is no way to meet it.

However, no matter whether it is doing coolies or doing special light work, unless long-term workers organized by the government, such as going out to build roads and bridges, or serving critically ill patients, must always accompany them, or they are rarely able to work full-time.

Especially for strength work, we usually recruit a bunch of people at a time according to the workload, and finish the work as quickly as possible. Generally, it is like cleaning up construction waste, moving fallen trees, etc. Most of them are done in half a day.

So it is difficult for a person to get food for two meals in a row.

This can also be regarded as a control measure by the government, at least it allows more people to have the opportunity to receive food.

Looking at the cracked steamed buns on the table, Shen Cong and the others knew that this must have been squeezed out by Shi Chen for his sister.

He is a high school student who does not understand technology and can only do physical work.

But if he could only get one meal a day for physical work, he wouldn't be able to eat enough himself, let alone do it for two.

If this continues, how long can the child last?

Shen Cong couldn't help but think of Shi Chen's small appearance as thin as a bamboo pole.

Gu Kai obviously also thought of this question.

He frowned and asked, "Isn't a child like Cancan able to receive relief?"

"Don't you have to wait in line to receive relief? There is also a time limit. Cancan is so young, Shi Chen definitely doesn't worry about her lining up by herself. I have to go out to find work again, and it is impossible to spend all my time queuing." Shen Cong said.

Hearing his wife's words, Gu Kai pursed his lips, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

Cancan didn't know that the two adults were worried about their brother and sister's future. Usually, she was the only one left in the family when her brother went out. It was rare for anyone to come, and the little girl was very happy.

She pulled the two people to sit down on the stool. She didn't seem to know how to entertain them, so she brought two pieces of steamed buns that she had not touched and handed them to them: "Uncle and aunt, eat."

"Uncle and aunt . After eating, Cancan eat by himself." Shen Cong patted the little girl's head and said to her very gently.

"Where's my brother? Did you go out to find work?" Gu Kai asked.

"Well, brother wants to build a bridge!" Cancan gestured to them with a proud look.

"Build a bridge?" The two looked at each other, and then asked, "Is it the high-speed bridge outside Nancheng?" The

little girl blinked, but couldn't answer.

It's obvious that the age is here, and there are many things she still doesn't understand.

"Brother is going to build a bridge, what about Cancan?" Shen Cong couldn't help but ask again.

"Cancan is at home, I'm not afraid!" The little girl patted her chest proudly and said.

If in the prosperous world, a child under the age of six is ​​locked at home every day, the family will definitely be blamed by everyone.

Even within two days, the neighborhood committee or the police station may call the parents to have a good chat.

But now, it was impossible not to lock Cancan at home, Shi Chen had to go out to earn food for the two of them.

But building bridges? !

Between the South City and the North City, the entire Bac Ninh City is separated!

If he really went to work there, Shichen would not be able to come back at night.

What about Can Can?

Is it really like what the little girl said, keeping her locked at home all the time?

Shichen could not have imagined the dangers that he might encounter.

Knowing that he still wants to go, it must be that this child really can't support him and his sister.

"Cancan, when brother comes back, tell him that uncle and aunt have something to do with him, and ask him to come to our house at night." Shen Cong said.

The little girl nodded quickly, indicating that she knew.

The two of them didn't leave much for the family, but gave the little girl two honey breads that she had eaten yesterday, and two pieces of military chocolate sent by Weiyan.

Then they left together.

After going downstairs, Gu Kai asked, "What do you think about Shi Chen and the others?"     " I have

n't made up my mind yet. I'll ask him what he thinks tonight."

Asked, nodded and the two left the community together.

They still want to go to the Antique City today as planned.

Although the money is no longer available, they are not short of food.

If they could exchange grain for a batch of jade, then their trip back to the city would be a worthwhile trip.

The Antique City is actually not too far from the Fulin Community, and it usually takes less than half an hour by car.

But now this journey can't be calculated in time.

Fortunately, the two of them weren't in a hurry, and it was dark when they entered the city before, so the two of them didn't even see what was going on in the downtown area of ​​Beining.

Walking all the way in this way, it also gave them a deeper understanding of the disaster.

The two asked for directions while walking, bypassing many collapsed buildings, and the wide and narrow cracks that suddenly appeared. When they finally reached the vicinity of the antique city, it was already noon.

The sun was so strong that people couldn't even open their eyes.

Sweat was pouring out, and the clothes on his body seemed to be washed with water.

Standing in front of another collapsed building blocking the way, Shen Cong wiped his sweat, and really didn't even have the desire to speak.

"I'm going to ask someone." Gu Kai handed the mineral water bottle in his hand to his wife and said comfortingly.

"Let's go together, it's so hot, and you should run less."

Shen Cong said, picked up the water bottle and took two gulps, then followed her husband and walked towards a group of people who were cleaning garbage not far away.

"Excuse me, may I ask how to go to the Antique City?"

Shen Cong bent down and asked when she walked over to a woman who was squatting with her back to them, who was squatting there to put construction waste in an earthen basket.

The man was visibly startled, then raised his head.

"Xiao Shen?"

"Zhou Ying?"

"Uncle Gu!"

Three voices suddenly sounded at the same time.

Shen Cong looked at the dusty, sweaty woman, and asked in surprise, "Zhou Ying, are you back in the city? Great, we've been worried all the time, my mother was talking about it two days ago, I'm afraid Something happened on your way."

Zhou Ying had already stood up.

She rubbed her dirty hands on her body, then looked at the two people in front of her with a smile, and nodded happily.

"I'm back, I'm back, I really want to thank you all. Without the help of you and my uncles and aunts, Xiaoyu and I might not be able to come back!"

After that, she turned to look for her son who was following her: "Xiaoyu?"

A voice next to him said, "I'm here!"

Then a small head emerged from behind Gu Kai's body.

When the little guy was in the earthquake, it was Gu Kai who carried him into the house.

I don't know if it belongs to the fledgling complex. After that, the children became very dependent on Gu Kai.

Whenever his mother cried or encountered something he was afraid of, he would subconsciously look for Gu Kai with his eyes, and only when he saw him could he calm down.

Therefore, when Zhou Ying recognized Shen Cong, Xiaoyu, who was on the side, jumped on Gu Kai long ago.

Zhou Ying was extremely happy to meet her acquaintance.

Don't do the work anymore, entrust your soil basket to the friends who came with you, and then personally lead them on the way.

Shen Cong and the others did not refuse.

After all, they are friends who have suffered together, and they also want to know what happened to Zhou Ying and their mother and son after they left.

Chapter 37

Zhou Ying's shop had been opened in Antique City before, and she was very familiar with this area.

Hearing that the two were going there, she asked curiously, "What are you going to see there? The antique market building collapsed, and the whole market is gone. The shops are all closed, and now there are all kinds of things like this. The same ruins."

She said, pointing to the place behind them where they had been before.

"Where's the street in the back?" Shen Cong asked.

"It's gone." Zhou Ying's tone was heavy: "Our store was originally in the backstreet, and the whole street is gone."

Hearing what she said, Shen Cong and his wife paused at the same time, and Gu Kai immediately asked. : "Did it fall into the crack?"

"That's not true." Zhou Ying shook her head.

"It's that all the shops on the street were built by the Antique City. In order to make some antique style, the doors, windows and beams were all made of wood. The wood is not good wood, and it all collapsed after the earthquake.

" The city is a scene of Bac Ninh City, and it has not been built for a few years.

Its original banner was "the fusion of modern and classical", so it is a very modern building facing the road.

The building has a total of six floors, and the architectural style is similar to that of a general luxury shopping mall.

It is said that it is an antique city, but most of the modern art and decorations sold in it are at most a few good-looking calligraphy and painting houses supporting the facade.

The fourth and fifth floors have become a pet market.

But there is an antique street behind the building.

What kind of Ming and Qing style is that street, I don't know if it looks like it, but it looks like an ancient commercial street in the film and television city.

The houses are all carved and painted, with lattices and patches, and the larger the storefront, the more luxurious it is.

It looks like a bit of an old-fashioned brand.

Such a house usually looks good when it's fine, but when disaster strikes, it's worse than tofu dregs.

The real earthquake has not yet come, just a bigger aftershock, half of the house collapsed.

"Fortunately, the house collapsed early at that time, which saved many people's lives." Zhou Ying said with a wry smile.

She and Shen Cong talked about the situation at home.

"At that time, my husband was in a hurry to come back to see my in-laws and the store at home, but it was too late for him to hurry. When he came back, the store at home had collapsed.

My father-in-law was trying to save the goods in the store. The cabinet that came down broke her waist, and my mother-in-law was frightened and frightened, and she had a brain hemorrhage on the spot.

My husband came back only to see the old man for the last time."

Speaking of this, Zhou Ying wiped the corner of her eyes.

"However, the old people still bless their sons. Because the two old people died of illness, my husband stayed in the hospital to deal with the funeral and didn't have time to manage the situation on the store side.

Many neighbors with similar conditions as ours, because the house also collapsed. Well, I just stayed here, wondering if I could dig something out of the rubble. As a result, there was a major earthquake later."

Zhou Ying couldn't continue.

And Shen Cong and the others don't need her to say anymore, so at this moment they have reached the ruins of the antique city.

The previous scene of Beining no longer exists at this moment. The landmark building of Beining, the very luxurious Antique City building, was completely shattered.

In addition to the ground floor, you can faintly see the previous structure, and the entire five floors above are all torn apart.

Much of the wreckage was left on the curio street behind the building.

In other words, although the street did not fall into the crack, the entire street was buried under the collapsed building ahead.

Shen Cong and Gu Kai stood there, looking at the once glorious ruins in front of them, unable to speak for a long time.

Gu Kai still remembered that he had come here to buy some jade before, but he was scared off by the price before turning around.

How lively and prosperous it was back then!

But now...

Maybe because of the reason that Zhou Ying turns around here every day, Zhou Ying is much calmer than them.

Seeing the heavy expressions on their faces, she asked again: "Is there something wrong with you coming here? Can you tell me?"

She seemed to be afraid of misunderstanding between the two, and explained again: "Xiao Shen and Xiao Gu, you guys Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who just asks random questions. I just want to... see if there is anything I can help. After all, you are also the benefactors of our family. It's considered familiar."

"Don't be so polite, it was just a matter of helping hands before, and anyone who encounters it will do the same." Gu Kai said.

Zhou Ying kept shaking her head, obviously she didn't think so.

Gu Kai glanced at his wife, and then said to Zhou Ying: "Actually, there is nothing that can't be said. My dad wants to buy some jade. You know he is a doctor. Sometimes he needs some jade utensils for medicine at home. Jade is also needed for the collection and storage of medicinal herbs.

Before the earthquake, I had some in my house, which he had accumulated over the years. But many earthquakes have smashed it..."

This reason is actually lame enough, but no one will understand it these days. get to the bottom.

What's more, Zhou Ying originally wanted to help, as long as she knew what she could do, she didn't want to inquire about anything else.

"I know I know." After listening to Gu Kai's words, Zhou Ying nodded immediately.

Of course she knew that she was in the Shen's house when the earthquake occurred, and she naturally understood what the things in the house were like when they were smashed.

At that time, she took her son and the whole Shen family to hide in the toilet. The sound of the utensils breaking outside shocked people.

Until now, sometimes she would wake up in a dream at night.

Not to mention brittle things like jade, the house in the backyard of the Shen family was smashed!

She thought for a while, and then asked, "Is there any requirements for the jade that Uncle Gu wants? If I think about the smaller ones, I might be able to find them, but the bigger ones are difficult. The bigger ones are basically not rescued.

" There is no requirement, as long as you can find it, any size will do. My dad said that it is of great use, and small is of little use. It would be better if you could find a better quality jade."

"That's no problem."

Zhou Ying smiled. Laughing: "It's definitely a good thing that can save everyone's life and save them. Those cheap goods are not specially searched by anyone."

Having said this, she sighed again: "You don't know, although the aftershocks The shop collapsed, but a lot of people ran out.

My in-laws were smashed because they were old and had inconvenience in their legs and feet and wanted to rescue the two newly entered ornaments. But many other people came out at that time.

But after the aftershock passed, everyone felt distressed about the loss, and they went back to check again unwillingly, and then they were stuffed under the rock.

The people who were stuffed under the rock died more than the house collapsed!

The things those people picked up were really You got your life back!"

Speaking of which, Zhou Ying looked at the ruins and was speechless for a while.

Tears rolled down silently, leaving two traces of different shades on her face.

After a long time, she sighed again very lightly: "Who would have thought that those things that were exchanged for life, can't even be exchanged for a bag of noodles now."

Several people were speechless again.

In fact, when the disaster just hit, everyone was quite optimistic.

Although the disaster was very serious, the entire city was almost destroyed, and so many people died, but everyone still has a sense of trust in the government.

I always feel that these disasters are temporary, and the government will save the people from this dire situation sooner or later.

At that time, it was not just ordinary civilians who thought so, but also the heads of various agencies, including the government.

Therefore, everyone organized themselves to help themselves, raise funds, and even the leaders were generous when it came to providing relief to the people and providing food for disasters.

Everyone is thinking about trying their best to get through this difficulty, even if all the warehouses are emptied.

For disaster relief, no matter how much it is used, it should be used.

In the later period, the supplies from the country will definitely be sent over. As long as the country takes action, everything will be there.

But as the days went on, the relief supplies above were delayed.

Only then did more and more people realize that it didn't seem to be the case, and that the development of things was different from what everyone thought.

A ground fissure occurred in Beining, almost destroying a city.

It can be heard from people with news channels that this is not even ranked among the geological disasters in the country!

Xishan also had an earthquake.

Their earthquake not only destroyed a city, but the entire Xishan Mountain Range, including the four cities and five counties around the mountain range, all fell into the sinkhole caused by the earthquake!

Four cities and five counties, half of the province is gone!

That's not all, there was an earthquake in Nan'an too.

And the tsunami triggered by the earthquake submerged the entire city of Nan'an.

At the same time, the entire southern sea area has been affected. Along most of the coastline, I do not know how many provinces, cities, counties and towns have been hit by typhoons, tsunamis, earthquakes, rainstorms and other attacks.

The affected area cannot be calculated in detail.

Others say the catastrophe is global.

The disaster is not only the own country, the surrounding countries, and even the countless countries and regions of the entire planet have suffered various disasters, many of which are annihilated, which can completely destroy a country.

When news spread that even the capital was hit, people found desperately that it has become unrealistic to expect the state to send aid.

All you can rely on is yourself.

And at this time, everyone from the government to the common people realized that their food reserves were not enough!

This is also why food prices have skyrocketed recently, and the government is giving workers less and less rations.

Compared with the urban area of ​​Beining, the community where Shen Cong and the others are located is still blocked.

And because the road has not been fully opened up to now, it is too difficult for people to get in and out. If the government does not provide assistance, many, many people will not be able to survive at all.

Therefore, no matter how difficult it is, the government's relief materials are still being distributed, and even if the quantity and quality are sharply reduced, there will always be some.

This is also the reason why everyone, including Shen Cong and the others, has not realized that life outside has become so severe.

When the family tree passed by, I once said a word to Shi Lei and the others, asking them to find a way to go out and have a look, and not stay in the community all the time.

It was also said that they could not count on government relief, and even if they wanted to count on it, it would not be long.

At that time, everyone's mind was on the point that they could find a job to exchange their grades, and they didn't realize what he meant.

In fact, the meaning of the family tree should be that the government's relief food cannot be expected for too long.

Because it was a chance encounter, Zhou Ying was not prepared, and it was impossible to help Shen Cong and the others find jade immediately.

So they left the address of Fulin Community, made an appointment with Zhou Ying to meet the next day, and asked her to find something suitable and send it there.

The two of them didn't stay outside for much longer and went home directly.

The two hurry up and hurry, and it was already dark when they got home.

But that's fine, at least there are no people nearby, even if someone walks around, they can't see their actions clearly.

The two found a secluded place, Gu Kai helped observe the surroundings, Shen Cong unpacked a 50-pound bag of rice in the space with his mind, and then packed it into different small bags.

Make it look like it was bought from a different place.

Then she took out the two large black bags that the two of them carried before, and carried them on their shoulders with Gu Kai.

With the bag as a cover, when she was about to get upstairs, she put the rice in again, it looked like the two of them bought it outside today, and no one would notice anything strange.

This is the way the two discussed on the way back.

If they hadn't gone out today, they wouldn't have known that the situation in the city had gotten to this serious.

The family tree should not want them to worry, and has been working hard to decorate peace in front of them, and did not tell them the real difficulties.

But now that you know it, you can't ignore it.

Not to mention the cousin of Jiashu, it is the Shichen brothers and sisters. It's fine if you don't understand the situation. Now you know that the two children are struggling like this.

Besides, the two kids kept their house for them.

No matter what the reason is, without Shi Chen, it is hard to say whether Fulin's house can still be his own.

This love has to be repaid.

When the two returned, the family tree had already returned, and they were fidgeting at home, anxiously waiting for them.

Gu Jiashu was shocked to see that the two of them had brought back so much food on this trip.

He hurried over to help them unload the food, and then he went into the back room and took out the food he had bought, saying, "Brother, sister-in-law, I didn't buy much, it's less than half of what you bought, only twenty. A few kilograms."

Not much food could be bought, which was already expected by Shen Cong and his wife.

In exchange for them, there may not be so much that a family tree can buy.

So they didn't show any dissatisfaction.

On the contrary, Jiashu was a little embarrassed and explained: "There are no food for sale in the places I have been to before.

I am looking for a patient I met in the hospital before, a cook in the canteen of the Electromechanical Company, and through him I only bought so much. And I bought it from several people." The

more he talked, the more curious he became, and he couldn't help asking, "Brother, sister-in-law, where did you buy this?

" I met an acquaintance." Gu Kai replied simply.

Everyone knows that Gu Kai doesn't like to talk, and the family tree has long been accustomed to it.

Seeing that his brother didn't like to talk, he didn't ask any more questions, but took the initiative to change the subject: "Shi Chen came over just now and said that you have something to do with him? What's the matter, are you in a hurry? Do you want me to go to him now? Call again?"

"Go and call, and call Cancan too."

Jiashu agreed to leave, Shen Cong went to the kitchen and took out an electric kettle, then took out two bottles of mineral water from the space and poured them in to start boiling water. .

This pot was the only surviving electrical appliance she found when she was cleaning up the house yesterday.

This house is equipped with solar energy. Although two pieces were damaged during the earthquake, with the experience of repairing solar energy in the villa, this kind of damage is not a problem for Gu Kai, and he quickly repaired it. .

So, there is electricity in the house at the moment.

But even though the house was on the 19th floor, and there were not many buildings of the same height around it, it was still a bit too dazzling to turn on the lights when there was no electricity in the whole city.

Therefore, candles are lit in the house now, and the lights are not turned on.

But it's fine to boil some water.

When Shi Chen brought his sister to Shen's house, he smelled a strong smell of braised beef noodles as soon as he walked in.

He stopped immediately.

He stood at the door, turned around and said to Gu Jiashu, who was following behind him, "Brother Gu, shall we come over later?"

Gu Jiashu rolled his eyes silently, and really couldn't figure out where this child's seniority came from. ?

He and his sister can call their brother and sister-in-law uncle and aunt so naturally, but when they come to themselves, they are only willing to call him brother?

It's just that, as a mature adult, he can't care about him.

He pushed Shi Chen's shoulder and said, "There must be something to call you here. It must have been a matter of time before it was over. Haven't you seen that Cancan is already sleepy?"

Shi Chen helplessly lowered his head and glanced at his sister. He was swallowing all the time, but he didn't show any intention to eat.

He picked up his sister, patted her on the back soothingly, and then walked in.

After entering the door, Shi Chen saw Shen Cong and Gu Kai hugging a plastic lunch box, eating a box of instant noodles one by one.

Seeing them come in, Shen Cong extended his hand and said, "Hurry up and eat, it has already been soaked for you. It won't be delicious if you soak it for a while."

Only then did he realize that next to the two of them, it was used as a dining table. There are also two instant noodles on the small wooden coffee table.

One in a disposable transparent lunch box, and one in a large fresh-keeping lunch box the same as the one they both held in their hands.

Seeing him hugging his sister, staring at the lunch box without moving, Shen Cong explained again: "We have smashed all the things in our house, and after searching for a long time, we found these, you can make do with it. Jiashu, you eat that one. Small box, big box is for Shi Chen and Cancan."

Jiashu agreed to pick up the lunch box and sat down beside them.

Cancan swallowed quietly, then looked at his brother.

Seeing that her brother didn't want to go, the little girl buried her head in her brother's arms, and instead of looking at the box of noodles, she turned her back to everyone and said, "Thank you auntie, thank you uncle, we have eaten, and we have nothing to do at all. hungry."

The child is very polite, and the voice is soft and soft, but listening to it makes people feel sad for no reason.

Shen Cong stuffed the lunch box into her husband's hands, stood up and took Can Can from Shi Chen's arms without saying a word.

She took the child back to the original position and sat down, then with her husband's hand, she picked up a chopstick of noodles from the lunch box and fed it to Cancan's mouth, and said to her, "Don't listen to your brother, you have to listen to your aunt at my aunt's house. Yes. Come, open your mouth, and I'll feed you."

Cancan's eyes were full of longing, but she pursed her mouth tightly, turned her head and looked at her brother with those bright, bright eyes.

Chapter 38

"There's no need to let a bowl of noodles come and go, it's all soaked, eat it quickly." Gu Kai turned his head to look at Shi Chen and said.

Shi Chen also saw that it was no longer possible to not eat it, so he bit his lower lip and walked over to hug his sister back, and said, "I'll eat with Cancan, Auntie, you can eat first."

Shen Cong and Gu Kai didn't Ignore him again and eat noodles together again.

Realizing that no one was paying attention to him anymore, Shi Chen picked up the lunch box.

At this end, his hands sank unprepared, and the lunch box fell straight down, startling him!

He hurriedly stretched out another hand to hold the lunch box, only to find that the box was full of noodles, not even soup.

It looks like there are at least two packs.

His lips twitched a bit, wanting to say that it was too much, but none of the three people next to him ignored him, all of them were eating their own meals, he pursed his lips again, took out a chopstick and blew it. sister's mouth.

He also found that there were several sliced ​​ham sausages and a marinated egg hidden under the noodles.

This time Shi Chen didn't say anything, he just buried his head lower, and tried to hold back the tears that were about to overflow.

This meal can be regarded as the most filling meal that Shi Chen and Shi Can have eaten since the natural disaster.

Their family is basically the first group of people who felt the hardship in this disaster.

Because there have been several aftershocks in Qingzhou before, most people have more or less participated in large purchases, and they still have some surplus food at home.

But they used to live in No. 1 Middle School because of the earthquake, and the school did not allow any more tutoring. The family moved back to Fulin only after evacuating the students.

They hadn't come back for half a year before that.

In this case, what can I eat at home?

Otherwise, parents wouldn't have to go shopping when they already knew that aftershocks would happen at any time.

Parents left their lives in the supermarket, but they didn't bring back anything to eat for their siblings.

After the initial panic, despair, and struggle, Shi Chen began to lead his sister to receive government relief.

But before receiving the relief for a few days, the government changed the rules. Except for those who are completely incapable of labor, everyone has to rely on themselves to earn food.

Shi Chen was only sixteen years old, and he was still half a year away from his seventeenth birthday. He was not a sports talent at school before, so his physical fitness could be imagined.

He tried his best, but the food he got was not enough for him and his sister.

What's more, Cancan is still so young, he doesn't dare to go to work far away.

Even if I find work, I still run back to see my sister's situation after working for a few hours.

These reasons add up, and the life of the two of them will not be good, and they live in a state of hunger and satiety every day.

Shi Chen was finally full, and he didn't even drink a drop of noodle soup.

He wiped the sweat from the tip of his nose and let out a long sigh of satisfaction.

He put down the lunch box while feeling the fullness that he had almost forgotten.

Only then did I realize that my sister, who had been fed before, was tired of Shen Cong's arms and was drinking the mineral water from her bottle one by one.

When Shi Chen was about to speak, Gu Jiashu had already walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and motioned to him with the kettle in his hand.

Shi Chen hurriedly handed over the lunch box containing the instant noodles.

Jiashu poured half a box of water into his lunch box, and poured some more into his own box, then sat back at the coffee table and took a sip from the box.

Seeing that they had all finished eating, Gu Kai opened his mouth.

"It's all finished? Let's discuss something together."

Hearing that he was going to discuss something, Shi Chen put the lunch box handed to his mouth down again, showing a very serious expression.

Seeing him like this, Shen Cong smiled: "Don't be nervous, it's not a big deal. It's... Shi Chen, we heard from Cancan today that you are going to build a bridge? Which bridge is it, Nancheng Interchange?

" , Shi Chen was embarrassed: "Auntie, don't listen to Cancan, she's just talking nonsense."

Cancan was suddenly unhappy, and looked at his brother with a puffed chest, but did not refute, leaving enough for his brother in front of outsiders face.

Watching the interaction between the little brother and sister, Shen Cong felt more and more that the two children were well-educated, and at the same time felt more distressed for them.

"I just thought about it. I said something casually that day, and she remembered it. I can't actually go there. It's too far." As soon as

I heard that there was work on the Nancheng Interchange, Jiashu came. Spirit.

He moved the stool in front of Shi Chen and asked excitedly, "Is it really going to start repairing over there? Where did you sign up and say you are hiring?"

Shi Chen saw that he was interested and asked, "Brother Gu. Do you want to go? It's going to be a little faster. We are applying for registration in the past two days! It is said that 300 people will be recruited, and it will take about 15 days to do it.

But it doesn't matter if it is not covered, I know One person, their home was originally from Nancheng.

He said that there is a parking lot not far from the overpass, and it was not damaged much during the earthquake. Many people who go to work lay the floor there and do not charge any money. ."

Hearing what he said, Gu Jiashu became more interested.

"Hey, then I'll go check it out early tomorrow morning, don't tell me, I've really been thinking about this matter! How is it that Xiunan City Interchange is also a big project in our North City, if you can participate in it, it will be considered a qualification in the future. I have something to say about picking up other jobs.”

"Yes, and they also need a large number of skilled workers, preferably those who can do hydropower or masonry. They say that the rations they give are doubled.

I happened to know a master who said that he would take me to learn hydropower or something. One day Just one steamed bun..."

When Shi Chen said this, he suddenly stopped talking, with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face.

Who is the fool sitting in this room?

Naturally, he heard that the child really wanted to go, but because he had a younger sister at home, he had to give up this opportunity because he was worried.

Shen Cong cleared his throat and said, "Shi Chen, do you want to listen to Auntie's advice?"

Shi Chen looked at her shyly and said, "Auntie, tell me, I'm listening."

"Shi Chen, I see. After you and Cancan, to be honest, my uncle and I have been very sad these two days. I can't say that I watched you grow up, but you were only so tall when I first met you."

Shen Cong gestured beside him After a moment: "I was still in junior high school. Cancan was just over a year old at that time. In my impression of your uncle and I, you were still two children. I didn't expect that when we met again, you became the pillar of the family. "

Shen Cong didn't mention the Shi family and his wife, but those two words already made the boy bow his head forcefully again.

"Shi Chen, we don't meet often, but we've been neighbors for so many years, so we know the bottom line. Uncle and aunt's house is here, and they won't run away, and your brother Gu will live here in the future. , you can see him every day."

When Shi Chen heard that something was wrong, he looked up at Shen Cong and asked, "Auntie, what do you want to say?"

"Don't be nervous, I just discussed with your uncle. For a moment, I feel that since we met, you and Cancan are both grown-up children, so we have to help."

"Don't refuse first, just listen to me." Seeing that Shi Chen was about to speak, Shen Cong made a statement. A stop gesture.

"We originally thought of another way, but at that time we didn't know your true thoughts, and we didn't know that you wanted to go to the Nancheng Expressway.

In fact, your idea was right. Once you have some qualifications, the future will be open. , and if you can learn skills, it will be even more glamorous.

If you really want to go, we want to discuss with you, or we will take Cancan away and take it to the countryside to raise him?

I have told you these two days. Let's take a look at the situation of our family. You also know that we still have a house in the country, and the conditions there are good.

We took Cancan there. When we came, my sister's two children were there. They were about the same age as Cancan. You can be a companion, and Cancan doesn't have to be locked in the house every day.

Then you can go to work with peace of mind and don't have to worry about her safety."

Gu Kai also interjected at this time: "We don't want to separate you brothers and sisters, you You can visit Cancan at any time. If you want to go, let Jiashu take you there.

I can also write you the address, or you can go back with us this time to see the situation.

After your work is done, go to Can Can take it back, too."

When Shen Cong said that he was going to take Can Can away, Shi Chen immediately sat up straight, his whole body was in a tense state, and he was about to say no.

But after hearing her say that Cancan doesn't need to lock the house every day, Shi Chen's shoulders slumped again, showing a hesitant expression.

It can be seen that he is also very worried about leaving his sister alone at home every day.

"You don't need to answer right away, let's listen to the second plan we thought, okay?"

Seeing the child's entanglement, Shen Cong didn't want to embarrass him, and continued.

Shi Chen nodded immediately: "Okay."

"Then you come up with us."

Shen Cong and Gu Kai stood up at the same time and took the three of them up to the second floor.

Shen Cong's house is the same as Shi Chen's house, it's just a different orientation.

So when he first came up, Shi Chen didn't feel any difference.

But after they opened the balcony door, the young man immediately felt the difference.

"Uncle, auntie, are you planning to build a flowerbed?"

He said, looking at the flower pond built on the balcony, and a row of large plastic and preservative wood flower pots and flower boxes.

"Yes, I wanted to build a flowerbed before. My uncle was going to relocate the house, and he said he would move in with my brother and sister-in-law.

Then the old man is a Chinese medicine practitioner, so he wanted to grow some Chinese herbal medicine after moving here. In the end, an earthquake happened before we moved.

Didn't you realize that the house was renovated? It was because I thought that my uncle was going to move in, and my sister-in-law specially cleaned it up. I didn't expect..." I

didn't expect that in the end, it was cheaper for me.

Jiashu sighed silently in his heart, but was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

"That was the idea in the past. We are now thinking of using this place to grow vegetables and food." Shen Cong said.

Chen's eyes lit up when he heard growing vegetables and grain, and immediately asked, "Auntie, do you have vegetable seeds in your family?"

"Yes, our family is in the countryside after all." Shen Cong smiled at him.

"This is the second plan I want to tell you. We want to ask you to help the family tree to grow vegetables together.

Of course, you don't have to stare all day. You can go out to work when you are free. In the first few days, you have to help the family tree to carry soil together, find fertilizer, and maintain it together with him.

We also pay you the wages with grain at the market price. It

was the hardest at the beginning . Lou, we'll give you five catties of rice this week. If you

maintain it normally, it won't take too much time, two catties a week, do you think it's alright?"

It is really impossible for two children to eat 11 kilograms of rice a month, but this is the amount determined by Shen Cong and Gu Kai after repeated discussions.

Because food is really hard to come by now, even if they don't lack it, they can't just take it out, and they can't take it so easily.

Moreover, it was said that Shi Chen helped the family tree to grow vegetables together, but how big could the balcony be? Even with the addition of the roof, a single person is fully capable of doing such a job.

The two of them just couldn't see the two children endure hardship and wanted to give them some help.

But Shichen was such a proud child, and he didn't want to make him feel sad or feel like he was eating something that came from him.

For this reason, the two of them really considered all the details.

Although they didn't say hello to Jiashu in advance, they all believed that with the character of their cousin, they could understand their meaning without saying much.

The amount of rice that is said to be given can not be changed at any time?

The two children really had no food to eat, so he would naturally find a way to help out. The family tree was trustworthy.

Just when the couple was still wondering-

"Is the food being given too little, will the two children not have enough to eat?

That silly boy won't really even go out to find work, and he will really give up on his luck. Dig soil to fill the flowerbed?"

And when he was tangled, Shi Chen over there had already started shaking his head violently.

"No, no, it's too much. Auntie, you're not hiring me at all, you're just trying to give us food. That won't work!"

He said, stepping back, as if he was about to hug his sister. Run away.

Shen Cong was about to be pissed off by this kid, so he pulled him.

"I just want to help you, what's the matter, can't you?"

She unceremoniously stretched out her finger and poked Shi Chen's sweaty forehead hard.

"What about the top students in the No. 1 Middle School, what do you learn every day in school? You are young, how can you learn so

much? How old are you? You are still underage! You call me auntie, I am your elder, elder Help the junior, why can't you? Why is it so unacceptable?

Put away your inexplicable insistence. If you don't eat, we can still eat it. How old is Cancan, you can bear it when you are hungry, she Such a small child, are you willing to let her endure it with you?

Do you know that a child will have a stomachache when he is hungry, so you are willing to let your sister have a stomachache every day?

" Shi Chen burst into tears.

He hugged his sister tightly, but was so sad that his legs were so weak that he couldn't stand, so he could only lean against the wall with his entire body.

He put his face on his sister's little chest, choked silently, his whole body was shaking because he was holding it too hard, and his tears wet Cancan's clothes.

Cancan was frightened by his brother.

She didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only hold her brother's head and rub it hard

. When he said what he said just now, he couldn't swallow in one breath.

She was so worried.

As the saying goes: too much is easy to break.

Shi Chen stretched himself too tight, if he kept doing this, the child couldn't hold on for too long.

Don't talk about his sister, he can't even take care of himself.

After a few days of contact, she really liked these two children very much, and she didn't want Shi Chen to continue like this, so she wanted to wake him up.

But I didn't expect that the blow was too big, and the child cried like this.

She stood at a loss for a while and didn't know how to persuade her, so she could only look at her husband with help.

Gu Kai's eye circles were also red at this time.

No one will feel good when they see the brothers and sisters like this.

Jiashu also wiped away tears with his back behind his back.

But after receiving his wife's gaze, Gu Kai still stepped forward and patted Shi Chen on the shoulder, and said to him, "Don't cry, you scared Cancan."

Hearing that his sister was frightened, Shi Chen finally took it back. mood.

He glanced at his sister who was also choking after him, reached out to wipe her tears, and then rubbed his face on her clothes again.

Then he tried to squeeze out a smile and said, "Don't cry, my brother is fine, don't be afraid."

After persuading his sister, he looked at Shen Cong again and said, "Aunt Shen, don't be angry, I know you are here for We're good."

Shen Cong's eyes suddenly turned red when he said that.

She came over and said nothing, and gave the two children a big hug.

Then he patted Shichen on the back, and told him, "Don't cry, it's too dark here, and there are mosquitoes, let's go down and talk."

So the family tree headed, holding candles, and the group followed him back again. living room.

Shen Cong told Shi Chen about his thoughts again.

"Shi Chen, don't blame your aunt for being unpleasant just now.

In fact, the more difficult it is, the more we should pay attention to helping each other. In front of nature, people are very small, and there are too few things we can do alone.

At this time, we have to help each other . Help, unite, and fight against natural disasters together. It is not enough to rely on your own ability.

If you feel that we are helping you now, then you should write down our goodness. When we encounter something in the future, you will help us in turn. That's good.

There's really no need to push this kindness out.

Besides, you helped us keep this house, and you've helped us a lot. No matter how thank you and Cancan, my uncles and aunts are willing to do so."

After all, she asked Jiashu to show Shi Chen the food she had brought up earlier.

"We are helping you within the scope of our ability. We are not trying to support you or make your face fat.

Although it is difficult to get food now, it is not impossible to get it if you think of a way, so there is no need for this matter. You are driving yourself to a dead end.

Don't underestimate our flowerbed upstairs. Now let's try to grow vegetables, and when we have experience, let's grow food together. If food is grown, no matter what happens outside, at least we You don't have to worry about food.

Besides, growing food is a technical job. If you really master it, even if you go out to find a job in the future, it won't be difficult if you think about it.

" Even including the family tree, all eyes are shining brightly.

Chapter 39

Shi Chen finally chose to grow vegetables with the family tree.

Hearing his choice, Jiashu was the first to laugh.

"I'll just say, children just have to listen to persuasion, listen to people's persuasion to eat enough. My brother and sister-in-law won't hurt you. I didn't listen to persuasion at the beginning..."

He said this, his eyes became sad.

Fortunately, he quickly recovered his emotions, patted Shi Chen's shoulder with his hand, and said, "Shi Chen, can you listen to Brother Gu's advice again?"

At this time, Shi Chen showed a rare expression. With the cooperation, he nodded: "Brother, you said."

Seeing him like this, Jiashu was very happy.

He said: "Shi Chen, in fact, my personal situation is similar to yours. Your parents are gone. My dad died early, and my mom and girlfriend were also gone in this earthquake.

You only have one younger sister, and besides my uncle, I do n't have any relatives other than my brother and sister-in-law, and I'm alone in the city.

I mean, we have nothing to worry about anyway, just don't eat five pounds of rice a week like my sister-in-law said, we can eat together. He pointed to the rice bags: "I'm not afraid of being called

thick-skinned. I know that these were left to me by my brother and sister-in-law. They were afraid that I would starve to death.

But that's all, I will definitely not be able to do it again in the future . Grab food from the mouths of family members. If you really do this, you are still human!

Just the three of us, I mean we don’t make two pots of rice, we can eat together. You can’t support your sister alone, and the two of us still Can’t afford it?

Let’s work hard, get through this period of time, and when the vegetables we grow grow out, apart from eating for ourselves, maybe we will be rich, and then we can always get better.”

Shi Chen raised his head. , eyes full of gratitude.

He didn't answer immediately, but asked, "Don't we need to send the vegetables we grow to uncles and aunties?"

"No." Shen Cong replied.

"We are also growing vegetables in the countryside. After you plant them, you can keep them for yourself, whether you can eat them or take them out for other things, it's up to you to decide.

Growing vegetables is just the beginning, and it's mainly for you to practice your skills. The crops are the main

thing. We will consider the distribution after the crops are planted."

Since the adults said so, Shi Chen was no longer stubborn, and nodded in agreement.

Because they had to wait for Zhou Ying to deliver the jade, Shen Cong and the others did not go back the next day and stayed at home for another day.

Early in the morning, Gu Kai took the family tree and Shi Chen out to find flowers and soil. Their goal was the greenery before the community.

Although the community has been smashed to pieces, the rose gardens and fig bushes are still there. It doesn't matter if the flowers are dead, the soil is still good soil for a serious garden, and it is still very good to move home and grow vegetables.

And Shen Cong stayed at home to clean up the roof and watch the children.

Because she had too many secrets and the roof was too hot, she didn't let Cancan go up.

Instead, he gave her a tablet that stored hundreds of cartoons, and then turned on the fan for her, leaving the children to watch cartoons and eat buns downstairs.

Cancan herself didn't remember how long she hadn't lived like this, she nodded like a dream, and then sat on the sofa obediently, not causing any trouble to adults.

When the flower ponds were built, Shen Cong and the others bought a batch of soil.

It is to go to the fruit tree wholesale station to buy the nutrient soil prepared by others, and also pay the shipping fee to let them send it back and fill them in the flower pond.

There were elevators at that time, and it didn't cost much to transport the soil.

For fear of not being enough, she later stocked up a lot of coconut bricks, large packages of nutrient soil, and various fertilizers and pesticides in her own space.

The earthquake destroyed a lot of these soils.

The soil in the flower pond was fine. Those that had been filled in the large flower pots and flower boxes before were all lost because the container was knocked down, the soil was scattered, and it was taken away by the rain in the next few days.

It is not a small project to refill these.

While the three were not around, Shen Cong took out coconut bricks from the space and used a plastic flowerpot as a container to start foaming.

The so-called plastic flowerpot is actually a fish tank.

Each one is one meter two high and ninety wide. All are made of thick plastic with all kinds of flowers, plants, fish and insects printed on the outside.

Buyers usually buy them and put them on the roof, plant a few water lilies and raise a few small fish...

It looks unique and interesting.

Shen Cong saw that they were light, strong, and resistant to beating, so he bought twenty of them and placed them on the roof as flower pots, and planned to use them to grow vegetables.

Now it looks like this was the right choice.

A few of the preservative wood flower boxes were broken, and they were nothing at all.

There was a super-large water tank on the roof, but it survived the earthquake because it was fixed well.

In addition, it rained for several days before the earthquake, and there was still about half of the water in the box, so it was not difficult to soak the coconut bricks.

Shen Cong didn't even have to think about how to explain where the water came from.

The three people went upstairs with the dug flower soil on their backs, and as soon as they opened the balcony door, they saw the fluffy coconut bricks soaked in flower pots.

Then the door of the small storage room in the corner, which was covered by the space under the stairs, was also opened, and the ground inside was full of nutrient soil and various fertilizers.

Several people's eyes were rounded.

Gu Kai naturally knew what was going on, but the other two didn't!

Jiashu let out a "wow", dropped the sack and ran to the storage room, shouting in surprise: "Sister-in-law, you kept this thing before? Ah! Sister-in-law, how do you have such a brain? You don't even have a computer. Smart! How can you think of anything? You were an immortal in your last life, right? You must be an immortal!"

Shen Cong was stunned by his praises.

After reacting, I just felt angry and funny.

Grab a mineral water bottle and throw it at it!

"I've been your sister-in-law for so many years, and this is the first time I've heard you compliment me so genuinely. If I did so much with my co-authorship, it's better to let you carry the soil twice less."

Jiashu took the mineral water bottle , did not drink, first laughed.

The mineral water bottles are all used in the past few days, and they are filled with boiled water that was boiled in the morning.

Even Shi Chen didn't feel any burden when he drank it, so he took over and poured half of the bottle in one breath.

In the afternoon, Shen Cong went out for a trip, and when he came back, he brought back a backpack of food.

There are rice noodles, as well as biscuits, vacuum-packed hard-faced biscuits.

Jiashu knew that her brother and sister-in-law had her own channels to buy goods, so she didn't ask any more questions, but just helped her carry the bag into the house.

Not long after Shen Cong came back, Zhou Ying came to the door.

This time she didn't bring Xiaoyu, she came by herself.

After she came, she took out a small package and said to Shen Cong in a very apologetic tone: "Xiao Shen, I ran for a long time yesterday, and I found such a little thing, I don't know if you can see it. ?"

Shen Cong took a look and found that there were two jade ring fingers, a jade bracelet, two small jade plaques, and a palm-sized jade incense burner.

The jade wrench looked pretty good, and the water head of the bracelet was good, but there was a deep crack in the middle. It could be seen that it had been dropped before, but it was barely broken.

The same is true for the two small jade cards, with more or less traces of collision.

For the jade incense burner, the two ears by the hearth were broken, and the lid was missing.

"Okay, how much?" After looking at the things, Shen Cong asked directly without commenting.

Seeing that she actually liked it, Zhou Ying clearly showed a relaxed expression.

She didn't hold back at all, she just laughed.

She patted her chest with her hand: "Oh, it's really great, Xiao Shen, you don't know, I've been going all the way this way, I'm always afraid that you won't look down on these things. In fact, don't Saying that you can’t see it, if I didn’t even look at it before, what would it be like? How can I take it out and see someone? But

now…”

She paused: “I can’t find anything special now. There are complete things. There are no big ones."

"It's alright, Zhou Ying, don't think too much. I feel very sorry for you to make this trip on such a hot day, and you helped us find so many people. Inquiry.

Just say how you want to exchange, you can ask for money or food. We are also in trouble. I will not say those kind words, I will just say a little bit, you don’t think about those things that you don’t get, let alone because they are I lost myself for what I gave."

Zhou Ying was even more moved by these words.

She really thought about taking these things and giving them to Shen Cong.

Compared with the help of the Shen family, what are these things?

But unfortunately, she really doesn't have this ability now.

She bit her lower lip and said, "Xiao Shen, if you want to say that, then I will tell you the price with the cheek. These are all collected from the fellow villagers I used to open a store with, although the goods are not very good. , but everyone still wants to count on them to change their stutters."

"Adding these things together," Zhou Ying pushed the cloth bag in front of Shen Cong: "Can you give me a total of ten catties of grain?"

This price... was a bit out of Shen Cong's expectations.

It's also enough to prove that Zhou Ying really bothered in the middle, and I don't know how to help her lower the price.

Shen Cong went back to the room without a word and took out two bags, along with an electronic scale.

"This is ten catties of rice, please weigh it." She put the thing in front of Zhou Ying.

Zhou Ying glanced at the bag and found that the Northeast rice sold in the supermarket was completely different from the broken old rice that had been stored in many granaries outside for many years.

But this is also understandable.

She used to live in the same yard as the Shen family, and she had heard the other party talk about the importance of hoarding grain, so she naturally felt that this was the rice that the Shen family hoarded by herself.

It is certainly impossible to be the same as the relief food provided by the government.

"This rice is so good." She waved her hands again and again: "Xiao Shen, why don't you give me some other food. If this rice is exchanged outside, one pound of broken rice can be exchanged for one pound or two!"

Shen Cong really didn't know this.

But she had nowhere to go.

"You can take it back. If you have a place, you can replace it yourself. It can be regarded as a subsidy for the family." She said to Zhou Ying.

Zhou Ying was naturally overjoyed.

When Zhou Ying put the rice into the big bag she was carrying and was about to leave, Shen Cong stopped her and stuffed a small plastic bag into her hand.

"This is your reward."

"No, no!" Zhou Ying's face suddenly flushed, and she stepped back: "Xiao Shen, I don't want it, you just look down on me."

"How can you look down on me?"

Shen Cong grabbed her hand and shoved the bag into her hand firmly: "On such a hot day, you sent me something across half of the city, not to mention the travel expenses, you didn't work all day today, right? If you don't work, what will Xiaoyu eat? Shouldn't I be the auntie to bring something to eat for the child?"

Hearing her say that, Zhou Ying's face flushed redder, but she couldn't say anything to say no.

She didn't work today, but after Shen Cong left yesterday, she started to look for Yu, and she didn't work for almost two days.

I've almost finished eating all the things I saved at home.

She didn't intend to let Shen Cong know about this, but she didn't expect her to be so careful.

Shen Cong didn't give her another chance to refuse, and after stuffing the bag into her hand, he pushed her to the door.

As he walked, he said, "Come on, let's go, what time is it now, and it will be midnight if you arrive home later. Oh, no, I don't worry about you leaving alone, otherwise, you can make do with a night here tonight, and tomorrow Go back again?"

Seeing that she was still so worried, Zhou Ying smiled.

Instead of rejecting those things, she generously put the plastic bag back into her mountaineering bag.

Then he said to Shen Cong: "Xiao Shen, thank you. I won't say anything about my gratitude. Anyway, I know where you guys live, and you also know where we live temporarily, so let's not cut off contact in the future. It 's about

jade. I'll keep watching for you, and I'll send it to your cousin if you find a suitable one. If you need anything else, you can just say it."

Shen Cong nodded and asked her again: "Want to? Why don't you make do here for one night? Now you have to go back to where you live, and you have to walk for several hours. I'm really worried about you alone."

She and Gu Kai came back that day, and the two of them walked from two in the afternoon to the evening. nine o'clock.

There wasn't even a street light on this road, and the road conditions were still so bad that she really didn't dare to let Zhou Ying go like this.

"It's okay, my husband and Xiaoyu are waiting below, the three of us will go back together." Zhou Ying said.

"Ah? Xiaoyu is below?"

Shen Cong ran to the balcony, opened the window and looked down.

Sure enough, I saw two people, one big and one small, standing in the shadows downstairs.

The child is Xiaoyu, and Shen Cong recognized it at a glance.

The man couldn't see his eyebrows and eyes clearly, but his figure was relatively familiar, and he must have seen it in the courtyard before.

It's just that the position below his right forearm is gone, and the sleeve of his shirt becomes empty.

Shen Cong's body froze in shock.

Seeing her reaction, Zhou Ying smiled. Although the smile was slightly bitter, her voice was full of happiness: "My husband's luck is considered good. He happened to be in the hospital when the earthquake happened. Although his hand was broken, Well , anyway, by guarding the doctor, I finally had time to perform the operation, and there were no sequelae.

Many people who were similar to his original condition did not recover as well as his postoperative recovery!"

Shen Gong nodded heavily: "Well Good people have good rewards. Zhou Ying, don't worry, your family's bad luck has come to an end. You can see that under such a big disaster, your family can still be safe, and it will definitely be better in the future! Definitely!"

"Thank you, I think so too." Zhou Ying had a big smile on her face, a sincere and bright smile.

You can imagine how happy she was when she heard Shen Cong's words.

Although Zhou Ying didn't want to live or die, Shen Cong still shoved her a bag of buns and gave her a few pieces of milk candy.

Said to be for Tongtong to Xiaoyu.

He also said to let her and her mouth take Xiaoyu back to the villa to play together if they have time.

Zhou Ying also agreed.

The day after Zhou Ying left, Shen Cong and Gu Kai finally decided to go home.

Because they wanted to go on the road when it wasn't too hot, they left very early. Apart from saying goodbye to Jiashu, they didn't say goodbye to Shi Chen and the others.

In the past few days, several people were exhausted because they had to carry soil upstairs.

Allows the kids to get more sleep without disturbing their rest.

Fortunately, the way back was much smoother than when we came.

The most important thing is that since the family tree is not there, there is no need to worry that the things in the space are not easy to take out. When reaching a suitable road section, Shen Cong will take the bicycle out of the space for walking.

When you encounter a bad road, take it back.

Don't look at it, there is only such a simple means of transportation, and the speed is more than twice as fast as before.

They returned to the community that night.

Although they didn't leave for a long time, I don't know why the couple immediately felt the difference as soon as they entered the community courtyard.

It was already dark now, but the yard was still very lively.

Especially the construction site, crowded.

They were only waist-high houses when they left, and now they are all built with small second floors.

This speed makes it impossible to believe that it was completed without the help of large-scale machinery!

Seeing the couple coming back, many people greeted them. In the crowd, they also saw several invited workers dressed in construction team clothes.

The two chatted with everyone one by one, and after talking for a long time, they finally returned home.

As soon as he knocked on the door, Cheng Ru smiled at them both: "As soon as you entered the hospital, Xiao Fan came over and told me that you were back. It took almost half an hour to get home. Where did you get stuck?"

Shen As Cong and Gu Kai entered the house, they complained to their mother: "Don't mention it, we happened to be passing by the construction site, and anyone who saw it would ask a few questions, asking about the situation in the city. I don't care about many people. I know, and I don't know how they know me?"

Cheng Ru couldn't help but smile: "How many people in our yard don't know you? That's why you don't remember people very well. Alas, don't say they want to drag you to ask about the situation outside, our own family members are waiting for you to come back. It 's over!"

"So exaggerated?" Shen Cong smiled: "We've only been gone for a few days, do you want to think about us that much?

" Gu Kai silently followed behind.

Seeing them come in, Tong Tong and Shan Shan, who had not slept yet, rushed over immediately, flying around them happily like two little butterflies.

The two children are kept in the house every day, and they have little chance to go out to play.

Even if they go out once in a while, they won't let them out of the yard at the farthest, and the two children have long been overwhelmed.

I couldn't get out by myself, and when I saw my aunt and uncle who came back from the outside, they were naturally terribly kind, and they asked this question in front of their eyes.

In the end, Shen Cong stuffed a donut in his mouth, which was considered to be blocking the two small mouths.

Knowing that the two of them had eaten on the road, Cheng Ru didn't say anything about cooking, and just kept urging them to take a shower, saying that they should take a shower. The whole family was waiting to ask about the situation in Beining!

In Fulin, Jiashu lives with them.

Even if the guy is rough, Shen Cong and the others can't take out too many things in the space in front of him.

So these days, I've been busy every day, but I can't even take a nice shower.

When they finally got home, the couple each took a bath with a set of artifacts, and then each took out a bucket of hot water and took a hot shower.

After washing, my whole body felt refreshed, and I felt that my whole body was lighter by several kilograms.

When they finally finished packing and returned to the living room, except for Shen Xi who went to put the child to sleep, everyone else in the family was already waiting in the house.

The two of them didn't sell anything, and told their family everything that happened in the past few days.

Of course, I also talked about meeting the Shichen brothers and sisters and the Zhou Ying family.

I heard a few old people sigh.

Especially Cheng Ru, she had seen Shi Chen and the two of them when she went to her daughter and son-in-law's house before. Knowing the current situation of the two children, she repeatedly said that they should bring Cancan back.

Even if you stay for a few days and then send it back, you will still make up for the child.

Otherwise, such a small child would not be able to cook with Jiashu and Shichen at first sight.

Shen Cong couldn't persuade her, she could only explain the sudden change in the little girl's family.

Cheng Ru thought that there was such a possibility, so she could only give up.

After he finished talking about Beining's affairs with his family, Shen Cong asked what he saw outside.

"Mom and dad, what's going on outside? Why do I think everyone is in such a hurry? They used to work at night, but they don't look so desperate now. Did something happen?"

Shen's father, Shen Jianyi He sighed: "Isn't this because the government has already issued a notice and will not distribute relief materials in the future? It is

said that people who are incapable of labor will collect data from the community, and then report to the town, and the town will distribute basic materials on a weekly basis. Others Everyone has to be paid according to their work. The labor force in our     community

will have to go to the town to wait for work in the future. They can’t wait for the plane to deliver food at home. Those houses haven’t been built yet, can you not panic?

The food is not enough for so many people to eat for a few days, so the house must be built quickly so that people can go out to work!"

Sure enough, as they thought, the airdrop did not last for a few days, and it did stop.

only--

"So many people have flocked to the town. The town is so big that it can be accommodated here? How many jobs are allocated to everyone?" Shen Cong asked worriedly.

"In addition to going to the town to work, you can also stay in the community to farm. Before the town came up with a work team, and brought an agricultural expert, and organized us to learn a lot about vegetable and grain cultivation.

People in the town also said , as long as they are willing to open up wasteland and cultivate land, the state will give strong support, and the first batch of seeds can also be loaned to everyone, and then repaid when they are harvested."

Having said this, Shen Jianyi smiled: "My mother and I, and Brother Gu. After discussing, let's not go out to do the work, let's all stay at home to grow vegetables. We don't have to go out to open land, we just tidy up the backyard and add the roof."

After listening to his father's words, Shen Cong did not immediately squeak.

She was silent for a while, and then said thoughtfully: "Look,     Yingshui

Village must be noisy again."

Chapter 40

"You mean they will come to ask for the land?" Old Man Gu asked.

Shen Jianyi felt deeply beaten in the face because of his previous visit to Yingshui Village, and his feelings were greatly hurt.

So now he doesn't express his opinion on matters related to that side.

But at this time, when he heard the question from his in-laws, he didn't mean to change the subject, but looked at his daughter with questioning eyes.

Shen Cong felt that this was a clear fact, and there was absolutely nothing to doubt it?

He couldn't help but ask back in doubt: "Sure! Do you think not?

Everyone used to take relief, and Wang Liangcai said when he came back from that trip that many people in the village were injured. At that time, they definitely couldn't remember what happened Son. Now that the government is going to encourage farming, who would think that there is too much land?     Not to

mention the area outside us, even the land in the community belongs to them, so it’s normal for people to take it back?

We also have a contract."

Although I don't know whether Xu Liang is in charge of Yingshui Village now, no matter who it is, anyone with a long mind will not come to the community to ask for land.

There are more than 300 people living in this courtyard. It is not certain whether there are enough people left in a village of 300 people. There is no need to cause conflicts.

But the land from the gate of the community to the crack was all from Yingshui Village. They were rented out to build a front house facing the street. Now that the house has collapsed, it is reasonable to take it back for farming.

"No, they can't take it back."

Old Man Gu shook his head: "The town's work team said that the land at the gate is all wasteland, and whoever gets it out is who. Whether it's vegetables or grain, the government buys all of them, and you can sign a contract, so you don't have to worry about not being able to sell

them.

What the working group said is definitely not just for our community, people in Yingshui Village will also know. The government all said that it was wasteland, and their previous land certificates were definitely no longer valid. "

"That would be more troublesome." "Shen Cong frowned. In the

past life, because there was no such a big earthquake, neither the community nor Yingshui Village suffered such heavy damage, so the contradiction between them did not intensify from beginning to end.

Because Beining was not seriously affected, the city There are more job opportunities in the suburbs than in the suburbs, so whether it’s the old residents of the villa area or the tenants from the high-rise, everyone who can leave is gone, and not many people are left in the entire community.

When Shen Cong came back, the original The total number of residents did not exceed ten households.

These few people can't do anything, so no one thought of going to fight with Yingshui Village.

At that time, all the land was still in the village, and the people in the community were either in the town. Working part-time, or renting the land in the village.

Life is hard, but we live in peace. But

now it's different.

The number of people left in the community has doubled than before, and a crack appeared in the center of Yingshui Village, causing heavy casualties. It

is not clear how many people are left.

This makes it very likely that the two are in a state of evenly matched power. It is hard to say who will win and who will lose in the real fight.

"Why is it troublesome? "

Shen Jianyi still couldn't hold back, he glanced at his daughter and said, "Let's stand firm on this matter!" Where can we say that we are also members of the community, and we should focus on the interests of the community. After hearing him say this, Cheng Ru sneered at him before her daughter could speak, "

I want to say this to you. Besides you, who else in our family would prefer the people of Yingshui Village? "

Shen Jianyi's eyes were so choked that Shen Jianyi's eyes popped out, but he didn't know how to refute it.

On the contrary, Shen Cong did not agree with his mother's words, but said: "If you really want to take the position of the community, then don't fight. They want the land to give it, anyway, it is the land of other people."

"You can't say that, The government has said it's wasteland..."

"So it's not wrong for people from Yingshui Village to come to open up wasteland."

Shen Cong's sudden change of position, not to mention the second Shen family was surprised, everyone present was surprised.

Even Shenxi, who had just put the child to sleep and came out to attend the family meeting, felt something was wrong.

"Monggong, don't betray you, make it clear."

"I didn't betray, I'm telling the truth."

Shen Cong sighed: "If they want, give it to them, there's really no need to fight for this. So what if you get it? , when the drought comes, the water supply will not be able to supply the water?

And parents, have you ever thought about it, Yingshui Village is upstream from us, and the river in front of our door flows from their village.

If they scramble for these land, for their own sake They are also reluctant to let the river stop flowing, but if there is no land, they really go crazy and block the river, what should we do in our community?" Everyone in the

room was shocked.

"Can't you?" Shen Jianyi asked subconsciously.

After he finished speaking, he realized that he had asked something stupid, what could he not do?

If they really had a vengeance and blocked the river from the upper reaches, it would not be something that the village could not do.

Since the earthquake, there has been no running water supply in the community. The drinking water and domestic water for all the people in the hospital depend on the small river behind.

The water that flows down from the mountain is crystal clear, which is rare in the suburbs.

This used to be a big selling point for the neighborhood.

There are small rivers and water purification tablets. Although it is a little troublesome to carry water every day, everyone has never worried about water.

Because of this, it is easy to be ignored by everyone.

If Shen Cong hadn't said it, even Shen Jianyi would have forgotten that Yingshui Village was located in the upper reaches of the river!

Although the earthquake created a mountain between the community and the village, the water never stopped.

The people from Yingshui Village have not been seen going over the mountains to fetch water, which means that they are also drinking from the same river.

"Even if we knew about it, there's nothing we can do! You guys haven't come back, I don't know that yesterday Shi Lei and the leaders of several of their communities called everyone to hold a meeting.

Apart from mobilizing the strong workers to find work in the town, He also specifically said that the left-behind members of the family must go out to open land.

He also said a lot of reward and punishment systems, and the meaning is very clear, that is, the community does not support idlers.

I also discussed with my mother today . My uncle is growing vegetables at home, and my mother is watching the child, and the three of us go out to open up wasteland. Even if we don’t expect the crops we grow to exchange food for food, we have to follow the crowd.

Our mother also said that we will wait for you to come back and discuss.”

Speaking of which, Shen Xi There was a pause.

Then he turned to look at Cheng Ru: "Mom, think about it again, now I recall how I felt Shi Lei and the others were so anxious, I must have also thought of the reason why Yingshui Village would come to grab the land?"

Cheng Ru nodded: " Yes, I didn't think about it here yesterday, but the more I think about it, the more I think it is. But it's normal for Yingshui Village to come and grab the land. Most of the land they used to have turned into mountains, and the good fertile fields are gone.     If they don't open up wasteland, what will they eat? Even if we are far away from them, it is better to have flat land than open mountains, right? Besides, the land here is really owned by other people."     "But there is not much land in our community! There are so many people in the community. Well, it's not enough for us to not occupy the land at the door?!"     "Yeah, now we are going to tell the people in the community that a major drought is coming, and it is useless to occupy too much land, and no one will believe it!"     The mother and daughter said one sentence at a time, and the more they said, the more they felt that Shen Cong's previous words made sense. Once this policy came out, it was not a big trouble.

This really pushed the community and the villagers of Yingshui Village to opposites.

When the government promulgated this policy, it must have been well-intentioned.

In order to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, but also to open up more farmland.

But the situation is different in different places. Without in-depth investigation and research, and eager to release, it is easy to cause fierce fighting if you do not master the degree.

But now that the country is in short supply of food, the leaders have no time to conduct in-depth investigations.

Shen Jianyi suddenly stood up from the stool: "No, I have to find Shi Lei and tell him about the downstream and downstream of the river. They definitely didn't expect this. You can't do it."

But Shen Jianyi was not given a chance to lobby.

As soon as he got up, there was a piercing whistle from outside, and then someone shouted loudly: "Beating! People from Yingshui Village are coming to beat people! Everyone from the community has come out, and someone is bullying us. It's gone!"

There was great anger in his voice!

All of the Shen family's expressions froze, and they all stood up.

At the same time, a thought popped up in my mind—it was too late.

Leaving Cheng Ru at home to take care of the children, the rest of the Shen family ran towards the gate with the flow of people.

Before I got to the door, I was far away and I could hear all kinds of quarrels and scoldings coming from outside, mixed with the sound of iron objects colliding.

Everyone's hearts followed closely.

The place where the two sides faced off was not far from the community, about 500 meters away from the gate.

At this time, the people on both sides were holding up emergency lights, and the surroundings were brightly illuminated and could be seen clearly.

At this moment, the two sides in the fight have been persuaded to stop, but the people on both sides are all holding shovels and hoes and glaring at each other, and the battle is on the verge of breaking out.

Shi Lei and Cao Hongmin stood at the front, each holding a young guy and blocking them with their own bodies.

The heads of the two boys were all broken, and blood flowed down their foreheads. One of the young men's eyes was covered with blood, looking a little scary.

Gu Zhengchu immediately stopped and said to Shen Xi next to him: "Go home and bring my medicine box."

Shen Xi was also frightened by this scene, turned around with an "oh" and ran away.

They were only five or six meters apart, and the people from Yingshui Village standing opposite were not much better than here.

All men, women and children held up the farm tools they brought and confronted them with a stern look.

In the open space between the two sides, an old man in his fifties was lying on the ground with one leg curled up, screaming in pain.

Blood stained his trouser legs, and half of his trousers were soaked with blood and stuck to his legs.

There was also a young girl beside him, who was pulling his clothes and weeping loudly.

Seeing so many people rushing towards the community, the expressions of the villagers in Yingshui Village all changed.

A young guy raised the shovel in his hand and shouted: "This is bullying us, we are few, let's fight! Fight with them!"

Following his shout, the villagers next to him responded in succession, all shouting up.

Everyone lifts their guy even higher!

"Shen Fei, put it down!" Shen Jianyi, who came over, shouted, rushed a few steps to the front of the team, and grabbed the young man's hand.

Shen Cong was startled!

She didn't even see how Dad rushed over.

Without saying a word, she hurried to her father's side, and Gu Kai naturally followed closely.

The young man named Shen Fei obviously did not expect that Father Shen would rush over to block him at this time.

He took a step under his feet, and after a moment of hesitation, he put down the shovel he was holding.

But his eyes were red, he looked at Shen Jianyi and said aggrievedly: "Second Master, they bully our Shen family!" Shen

Jianyi held his hand not loose at all, frowned and looked at the person standing next to him and said : "Put down the farm tools! Hoes and shovels are for work, not for beating people!     Not

enough people died in the earthquake, do you want to add more?"

Choking sound.

The one who led the team here today should be this young man named Shen Fei.

Although Shen Cong didn't know him, he knew from his surname and how he called his father that this person was at least of the same clan.

And respect for his father.

This gave her a little relief at last.

The people brought by Shen Fei here put down the farm tools, and the people around Shi Lei over there naturally put away all the "weapons".

Because Shen Jianyi is now a middleman recognized by both parties, he can't refuse even if he doesn't want to get involved.

So he, Shen Fei and another representative elected from Yingshui Village went to the side to negotiate with Shi Lei and Cao Hongmin.

Shen Cong ignored them. Together with her sister who hurried over, she helped her father-in-law deal with the wounds of the injured.

The wounds of the two young people in the community looked terrifying, but in fact the wounds were not deep. It would be fine if they were cleaned and disinfected and sprinkled with anti-inflammatory powder.

The old man's injury was a little serious.

There was a sunken wound on his leg, the wound was deep, and the flesh on both sides was sinking into the wound, and the blood could not be stopped without stitches.

But the community has no treatment at all right now.

Shen Cong stood up and walked over to the few people who were negotiating the conditions, and said directly to Cao Hongmin: "We need a tricycle, and the community has to go with someone, and now we must immediately send that uncle to the emergency center in the town. "

Although the few people here have Shen Jianyi as the intermediary, it is obvious that the talks are not going well.

The atmosphere was a bit deadlocked.

Shen Cong's words eased the stalemate.

Shen Fei didn't talk anymore, turned around and ran towards the old man.

Cao Hongmin hesitated for a while but did not refuse, but shouted at the people on his side: "Little Qian, go and bring the tricycle over and put a quilt on it!"

"Bring some more food!" Shen Cong didn't give the old man at all. When Cao opposed the opportunity, he shouted at Xiao Qian.

Xiao Qian was obviously a little hesitant, and looked up at Cao Hongmin.

Cao Hongmin nodded and repeated: "Bring some dry food."

As the only doctor in the community, Gu Zhengchu must follow at this time. After all, in the middle of the night, if you stumble a little, it's not a joke. of.

Gu Kai was not worried about his father, so he had to follow him.

So three people went to the community, Xiao Qian, Gu Kai, and Gu Zhengchu.

In addition to the old man and his granddaughter, Yingshui Village also followed a young man.

After the car that sent the wounded left, the atmosphere that was on the verge of breaking out also dissipated.

In particular, the community did not shirk its responsibilities. Not only did people send vehicles to take the injured to the hospital, but they also brought out a lot of food. This at least shows an attitude.

Although the Shen family doesn't want to take the lead at such a time, sometimes there is no way to do things in a hurry, and forcing you to the front.

At this time, Shen Jianyi could only come forward to appease the people in Yingshui Village, let them go back first, and say that there is something to talk about tomorrow and during the day.

Those people agreed, but they did not go back to the village. Instead, they spread mats and mattresses on the open space outside the community, and it seemed that they were ready to stay here.

This made the community's popularity burst into flames.

Fortunately, Shi Lei and the others were still able to remain calm, and they just brought back all the people on their side, and they were not allowed to stay outside the community.

After letting everyone in the community go back, the Shen family's father and daughter followed Shi Lei and the others to the villa on the west side.

There are more people living here now than before, and the environment is worse than when it first started, but obviously Shi Lei and the others have more prestige.

Seeing them come in, the people who were originally laying the floor in the living room voluntarily voluntarily rolled up the bed and went to other rooms, just to free up a relatively quiet space for them to talk.

"What's going on outside today?" Shen Cong asked first before Dad could speak.

"I really don't blame us for this today!" Xiao Fan was still following Shi Lei's side, and at this time he acted as his spokesman again.

"Sister Cong, you just came back from the outside, don't you know, didn't our community plan to prepare the land for opening the door?

Today our people measured the land outside during the day, and then divided it into blocks with white lime, for the purpose of The reason is that everyone will have a good score tomorrow.

But who knew that those people in Yingshui Village ran over without even     saying

hello .

The old man, the old woman and the children were standing on the edge of the ground. As soon as our people went up to stop them, they lay down on the ground and started howling.

That old man was not beaten by our people at all. He didn't see it when he knelt down. Our people's shovels are on the shovel.

But they really beat our people!"

Shen Cong's forehead hurt when he heard this, and Shen's father's face was not good-looking.

This is simply touching porcelain!

Just thinking about the scene at that time, as someone who came out of Yingshui Village, he felt embarrassed.

But what can be done?

This still has to be dealt with.

"Have your leaders thought about what our community is going to do?" Shen Jianyi asked with a sigh.

After that, he waved his hand: "You don't have to think about my thoughts, I'm from the community, so naturally I'm on the community's side."

His words made those people's faces look much better.

"Uncle, we can't compromise on this. They all came to our door to provoke. If we acted a little softer, they would definitely slap their noses in the face. They might even make trouble in the community by then. "

Yeah, uncle, you know that the land in our community was said to belong to Yingshui Village before, but the government has said that this land belongs to us now. But those people don't recognize life or death, if we don't be tough, They must think that we are easy to bully."

Shen Jianyi nodded: "I agree."

With his statement, Xiao Fan and the others immediately became more energetic.

A few young people stood up directly from the ground, waving their hands and scolding: "How many of them are they? They've all run to our door, can we still let them take advantage? Go! Let's go and destroy them together tomorrow!"

Shi Lei stretched out his hand A slap on the back of the man.

The man laughed twice, but didn't say a soft word.

Shen Cong remained silent.

She didn't want to say anything to persuade her.

This kind of thing is really because the father said that the public is reasonable, and the mother said that the mother is reasonable, and she can't say that the people in the community think wrong.

If she hadn't known that the drought was coming, she couldn't bear this kind of slap in the face.

Seeing her bowing her head and not expressing her opinion, Shi Lei asked, "What is Xiao Shen's opinion? You have seen the big world, and you just came back from the city, tell me what you think? What if we did something wrong? , you also tell us, let

's discuss it again?" Shi Lei's attitude was very low, but the meaning was obvious, he hoped that Shen Cong could express his stance.

"I agree with the community's decision. If outsiders are bullied, they should take action. Don't let them get used to their troubles!"

"I knew that Sister Cong would definitely say that!"

"That is, Sister Cong has always been the toughest in our community!"

As soon as Shen Cong's voice fell, Xiao Fan and the others cheered.

"You guys are thinking about dragging me to fight together, right? Are you going to pad me up first so that I'm embarrassed to jump off?" Shen Cong looked at the few well-known guys and said jokingly.

"No, don't listen to their nonsense." Shi Lei also laughed.     "Captain Shi, that's what you said, but we still have to consider some issues. Let me tell you, Captain Cao, and the big guys

about our return to the city this time."

I told everyone about the important things I encountered in Bac Ninh, focusing on the two points of the shortage of food and the need for water trucks to deliver all the water.

Then she concluded: "I didn't realize the problem of water shortage before, but obviously the water in the city is obviously not enough. On

the first day we went, the water delivery was still limited and unlimited. As long as you want, you can send it after delivery. When we got home, we went to the queue and no one stopped us. When we left, someone at the gathering point had already started counting, and everyone had to receive water according to the amount every day.

I was thinking at the time that this was only providing drinking water, and not all staff had started. What about wasteland reclamation? Now it's not just that we are propagating wasteland reclamation in the countryside, but the city has also begun to advocate indoor vegetable cultivation.

If it starts to operate, the water consumption will inevitably increase sharply. How to solve the water problem?

Think about it, everyone, from the beginning of the earthquake to the present, not a single drop of rain has fallen. And it's already September, and it's still so hot.

If it continues like this, even if we occupy the ground and open it up, can we pour it over? "

Also," she looked at everyone again: "Yingshui Village is upstream from us, and the water we drink every day comes from their village." "
