"Our ship is also here," Liu Jiajun noticed that the sign on the pier had lit up with the lights of "Chongming-Changxing".

"Chengzhi, let's go," Meng Jie called Du Chengzhi over, and everyone came to the gangway to line up together.

"I don't know what Changxing Island is like yet," Li Xiangjun began to feel apprehensive again when he boarded the ship. Originally, they didn't have to report to the unit so early, but two days ago, Liu Jiajun took Li Anrui to Yingdong for a walk and found that there was nothing to visit nearby, so everyone simply decided to sign up for work early.

"It should be better than Chongming," Meng Jie remembered that Gu Annan had told him that nearly half of Changxing Island was already under the control of government forces, while only one-eighth of Chongming was a safe area.

"You work in a unit in the medical system, not on the front line, so don't worry too much," Shu Qinghe comforted her, "And Changxing Island is very close to Hengsha Island, so let's move around more when we are fine." ”

Li Xiangjun nodded, she came to the boat through the gangway, and found an open place with everyone to sit down.

The ship let out a long whistle, which was a signal that it was ready to set sail. Li Xiangjun glanced back at the Dongtan Wharf, and then looked at the Dongtan International Conference Center building a few kilometers away, she took a long breath and tried to calm down.

Meng Jie looked at the other big boat on the river in the distance, which was the same boat that Chen Ting and the others had been on before.

The big ship and the boat under Meng Jie's feet headed one after the other, heading towards two different places to the south.

Chen Ting's boat was going to the Jianghai Wharf on Hengsha Island, and the boat that Meng Jie was taking was going to the Jianghai Wharf on Changxing Island. After the boat circled the northwest corner of Hengsha Island, the boat that Chen Ting was riding disappeared from Meng Jie's sight.

At the beginning of January, when the river wind was still a little biting, Meng Jie tightened his collar and took his eyes back from the river. Ships sailed into the waters between Changxing Island and Hengsha Island, and there were more boats here, and Hengsha Wharf and Zhujiang Wharf were in front of one left and one right, and many ships came and went.

This body of water is an important waterway in the three islands of Chongming, and several routes need to pass through here, from Wailiu Wharf to Dongtan Wharf, from Zhujiang Wharf to Hengsha Wharf, and from Dongtan Wharf to Zhujiang Wharf.

After waiting for the boat to stabilize on the dock, Meng Jie and the others went down to the shore. The wharf on the river is very large, several trestle bridges extend to the river, and there are even several ships of different sizes moored on the same trestle bridge, and everyone can do not affect each other in the meantime.

"This is Changxing Island," Shu Qinghe looked at this strange place, slightly excited. This bustling wharf is different from the slightly deserted Dongtan because the military's disaster relief headquarters is located on Changxing Island, and with a large number of troops deployed here, the island's popularity seems to be more prosperous than that of Chongming.

Meng Jie asked someone for the next way and learned that the Changxing Health Service Center was in Yuandong Village in the south, about two or three kilometers away from the wharf.

"Walk over there?" Meng Jie asked everyone.

"Let's take the bus," Li Xiangjun saw a bus stop on the side of the road outside the wharf, she thought that Changxing Island was just the first stop for Shu Qing and them to come out today, and then these companions had to report to the unit on Hengsha Island, so in order to save time, she chose decisively

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

I chose to take a means of transportation.

The central to easternmost part of Changxing Island is a safe area under the control of government forces, and it is also closely following the pace of Hengsha Island, where people's livelihood and transportation are gradually recovering, and things such as shops and buses have appeared for months, but they are not as widespread as Hengsha Island.

Everyone came to the bus and bought tickets with negotiable coupons, and the car drove out of the bus stop outside the pier and headed south along Changxing Cooperation Road.

There are many trees along the roadside, but there are very few high-rise buildings nearby. There are quite a few cars on the road, most of them are trucks carrying goods, and private cars are quite rare.

There are also farms on Changxing Island, but the scale is much smaller than Chongming Island, and there are machinery and labor figures in the fields from time to time, and everyone is quite surprised when they see these.

The bus inserted into a small road in the southeast direction at the T-junction in front of it, which is called Yuandong Road and is one of the main roads leading to Yuandong Village. As the car drove in, there were noticeably more houses on both sides of the road, most of which were only two or three stories high, and they were neatly arranged around them, separating the nearby fields.

After crossing a concrete bridge in front of you, there is no trace of farmland nearby, and there are houses and streets all around, giving the impression of a small town.

The bus stopped on the side of the road, and the conductor shouted at Meng Jie and the others, "The health service center has arrived." ”

"Okay, let's get out of the car," Meng Jie beckoned his companions to get out of the car, he looked around and found that there were quite a few stores on this street, as well as a supermarket that was not too big.

"The Changxing Community Health Service Center is there," Li Xiangjun has already seen the unit she is about to arrive, and when she came over today, she packed some daily necessities and clothes in a suitcase, and she will not go back to Chongming after reporting.

"Wait a minute, I'll buy a pack of cigarettes," Mr. Deng said.

"Brother Deng, wait for me, I'll go too," Su Penghui said and followed.

Everyone stood on the side of the road and waited for them to come back, and Du Chengzhi was already curiously looking at the goods in those stores. The center of the area seems to be here, radiating out from the Changxing Community Health Service Center in the center, attracting many nearby houses and facilities.

"How are prices here?" Shu Qinghe asked.

"The official price," Deng Xin and Su Penghui bought a pack of cigarettes and came back.

"Let's go, let's send Xiangjun to report," Shu Qinghe nodded and helped Li Xiangjun take the suitcase.

When everyone came to the door of the health service center, Li Xiangjun was allowed to enter after explaining his intention and showing the post arrangement sheet issued by the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, while the others could only wait outside.

"The management is quite strict," Meng Jie said with emotion, comparing this place with the hospital before the disaster.

"Be strict, when the medical trouble was terrible in the past, there were fewer and fewer people who wanted to be doctors," Shu Qinghe was a little relieved, he was a former teacher, in fact, before the disaster, the school also faced the same dilemma, but it was slightly better than the hospital.

I don't know when it began, there was a wave of good news in the society, and it was called "crying children have milk to eat", so whenever something happened, Xu

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Many people don't care about 3721, they just make trouble first.

"But the government also has the government's difficulties, many things can't be achieved overnight, there is always a process of getting better slowly," Shu Qinghe remembered some of the things Ju Yan had told him before, and his heart was deeply touched. Both of them are from the education system, but because everyone stands at different heights and perspectives on problems, Shu Qinghe and many things are not as thorough as Ju Yan's.

He still remembers the topic of "burden reduction" in the education circles back then, when he was a teacher was also firmly advocating less learning, less exams, and less homework for students, but from the experience of teaching for many years, he felt that no matter how many documents were placed on it, no matter how many schools and teachers tried to comprehensively cultivate students in terms of morality, intelligence, and physique, the final result could not escape the cycle of "more and more reduction".

It wasn't until Ju Yan's words at the beginning that Shu Qinghe understood the reason like an empowerment. Ju Yan said that "reducing the burden" is only an appearance, and the high school entrance examination will remain unchanged, the resources of prestigious schools will remain unchanged, the social stratification will remain unchanged, and the selection system will remain unchanged, and this "negative" will not be able to be truly reduced. Once parents recognize the reality, they will only make the choice of "increasing the burden", although this choice is difficult and decisive, but it is indeed a reasonable thing.

This kind of economic "prisoner's dilemma" is ubiquitous in society, and it often affects everyone's life choices.

Everyone waited for a while, and finally saw Li Xiangjun walking out of the Changxing Community Health Service Center.

Li Xiangjun's entry into the company went very smoothly, and her original apprehension quickly calmed down. As she walked out of the health center, she saw her companion waiting outside the gate, and her heart suddenly became heavy, and her eyes were slightly red.

"What's wrong? Isn't it going well for check-in? Shu Qinghe noticed her expression and thought that something had gone wrong in this matter.

Li Xiangjun shook her head, she hugged Shu Qinghe, and then hugged the other companions one by one, "Things are going well, thank you." ”

"I can't go back to Chongming with you today, the unit has arranged a place for me to live, thank you for taking care of me all the time," Li Xiangjun said and squatted down and hugged Du Chengzhi, "Chengzhi, I have to come to see my aunt often when I am on vacation." ”

"I will, don't worry, Aunt Xiangjun," Du Chengzhi nodded, "But I'm so reluctant to let Auntie be here alone." ”

Du Chengzhi's words made Li Xiangjun finally couldn't hold back his tears, "Auntie can't bear you." ”

"Sister Xiangjun, we are all here," Li Anrui walked over to help her wipe her tears. These people got together in the disaster, and they have already formed a deep friendship, Li Xiangjun is now the one farthest away from everyone, and the reluctance in her heart is felt by others.

"Some people say that parting can weaken shallow feelings and deepen deep feelings, just like the wind can blow out a candle, but it can fan a bonfire more vigorously," Li continued, "We need each other, Chongming Mishima also needs each of us, and today's separation is for tomorrow's better reunion." ”

Li Xiangjun held Li Anrui's hand and nodded fiercely, and after she put everyone on the bus back to the dock, she stood on the side of the road and watched the car leave.

Suddenly, a voice in my heart began to shout towards the figure in the distance of the car, "Everyone should be well." ”
