"The Length" (31)

I pointed to the trunk and said, "What kind of bullshit is this?" ”

"Instruments for seismic monitoring." Xiao Wang said.

"Where do you want me to transport it in the car? Hurry up and get it to make the car a little fresher. I said.

"It's just in the car." Xiao Wang said.

"Don't wait? So a good car won't be crushed by these all the time? I said.

"This is a survey vehicle, where there is an earthquake, drive over to survey." Xiao Wang said.

"Wait, is mapping going to put things down? Do you want to put it back on after you're done? I said.

"Of course, how else can I test it?" Xiao Wang said.

The large and small heavy instruments and seismic instruments piled up the back half of the entire off-road vehicle, and the original small seven seats could sit three people at this moment plus the driving position.

Isn't it a waste that the driver, the co-pilot, and half a seat left in the back row?

And will I have to help move up and down my future work? Isn't that killing me?

"Wait Xiao Wang, what the hell is our Earthquake Bureau doing?" I said.

"I can't speak clearly about this thing, you can know it after a few times." Xiao Wang said and went back to the office.

Then I realized that the nature of my job is no different from that of a taxi driver, and that this on-call is really on-call.

In addition to clocking in and out of work at a fixed time every day, I was later killed by an accident. No matter what time it is, no matter what you're doing, you have to go downstairs to the company and wait for half an hour on the phone.

That's what I do, and then it's not as simple as driving who to take anywhere. At least two of the three male employees except Jiang Nian would show up to tell me where I was going, and then start moving the instruments up and down.

Generally, it is the surrounding area near Mianyang City, find a vacant land and wait for surveying and mapping.

After reporting the data, wait in place for further measurements or leave, which usually takes at least 14 hours in the car.

In order to detect whether the earthquake will further intensify, and you probably don't know.

I have to go out almost three or even four times a week, not five because four takes about a week. You guess you're wondering where the earthquake came from? This is because earthquakes below the third level are not felt, but sophisticated instruments can feel them. After that, we had to go to the site to measure accurately, and of course I later found my own understanding.

If there are bridges, power stations, gas stations, reservoirs, caves, coal mines, waterworks, etc., within five kilometers of the earthquake area, then it will take more than 14 hours, two or three times.

If you're somewhere there isn't, you'll be able to go home after a fourteen-hour routine survey and carry your things back into your car.

But the problem is that the whole Mianyang is so big, and there will not be a few times a year when it ends in 14 hours.

At first, I really didn't complain about my work, but I didn't realize how difficult it was until I persevered for half a year.

Xiaohua had a caesarean section in the hospital and gave birth to a daughter.

I was surveying and mapping and couldn't get to the hospital.

The name I took was Lu Jiao, and Xiaohua taught the child wholeheartedly at home.

After all, she is also a college student with poor grades, and she is much more educated than me in elementary school.

The falsification of my academic qualifications was later discovered, exposing the true nature of my illiteracy.
