Chapter 189: Earthquake Relief (7)
It takes about six hours to drive from Luancheng to Maoxian on weekdays, because of the earthquake and the fact that there are big cars following along the way, Chen Qiang and his team did not drive to the scheduled location until ten o'clock in the evening!
In addition to chatting about work along the way, Chen Qiang also asked Jiang Xiaoxiao a lot of questions through text messages!
"Why are you participating in disaster relief?" Chen Qiang asked!
"Guess!" Jiang Xiaoxiao replied!
"I don't have the heart to guess, just say it!" Chen Qiang replied!
"It's boring, but there's no reason for it!" Jiang Xiaoxiao replied!
"I don't believe it!" Chen Qiang replied!
"It's definitely not you anyway!" Jiang Xiaoxiao replied!
"I've never thought of it that way!" Chen Qiang replied!
"Actually, Maoxian is my hometown!" Jiang Xiaoxiao replied!
"Aren't you from a neighboring county?" Chen Qiang asked!
"My mother is from Mao County!" Jiang Xiaoxiao replied!
"Oh, I see!" Chen Qiang replied!
"When I was a child, I often went to Maoxian to play, and my grandmother liked me very much, and I often stayed there all summer vacation!" Jiang Xiaoxiao replied!
"Then did your grandmother suffer this time?" Chen Qiang asked!
"Grandma is no longer here......," Jiang Xiaoxiao replied!
"I'm sorry!" Chen Qiang replied!
"It's okay, I heard that the house where my grandmother used to live collapsed, I want to go and see it!" Jiang Xiaoxiao replied!
"The old house is not earthquake resistant!" Chen Qiang replied!
"I want to go back and visit my grandmother's grave!" Jiang Xiaoxiao replied!
"Oh!" Chen Qiang replied!
"Why are you going?" Jiang Xiaoxiao asked!
"Leader arrangement!" Chen Qiang replied!
"Your family Yuanyuan just gave birth, and she is willing to let you go?" Jiang Xiaoxiao asked!
"Reluctantly, but my leave leader didn't agree!" Chen Qiang replied!
"Your leader is so inhuman!" Jiang Xiaoxiao replied!
"There may be other reasons!" Chen Qiang replied!
"There are so many people in the Construction Bureau, why do you have to send you?" Jiang Xiaoxiao asked!
"If I don't go, will you go?" Chen Qiang suddenly asked!
"Probably not!" Jiang Xiaoxiao replied!
"Maybe!" Jiang Xiaoxiao then replied!
"You haven't answered my question yet!" Jiang Xiaoxiao continued to reply!
"My father-in-law also supports me to go!" Chen Qiang replied!
"You mean you want to go too?" Jiang Xiaoxiao asked!
"To be honest, I do!" Chen Qiang replied!
"That's because you're so inhuman!" Jiang Xiaoxiao replied!
"As a technical worker, it is a responsibility and an honor to be able to experience earthquake relief firsthand!" Chen Qiang replied!
"I can't imagine you are such a person!" Jiang Xiaoxiao replied!
"What kind of people?" Chen Qiang asked!
"The loveliest people!! Ha ha! Jiang Xiaoxiao replied!
"I'm not that noble!" Chen Qiang replied!
"I know, because I know more than you do!" Jiang Xiaoxiao replied!
"What do you know?" Chen Qiang asked!
"Don't say anything that hasn't been implemented and has no evidence, and I'll tell you when it becomes a solid hammer in the future!" Jiang Xiaoxiao replied!
"I guessed!" Chen Qiang replied!
"You're good to go!" Jiang Xiaoxiao replied!

……
After the disaster relief team arrived at the predetermined location, they first got in touch with the local headquarters, and for Mao County, which is full of tents, the resettlement board house disaster relief team sent by Luannan District is indeed more necessary!
The earthquake was followed by a large number of aftershocks, which were small of three or four magnitudes and five or six of magnitude, with variable frequency but high frequency! Basically, there are not many residents in the entire Mao County who dare to sleep in their own homes!
All the vacant land in the county seat of Maoxian County has been used to set up tents to resettle the victims, because Maoxian County is one of the few disaster-stricken places to restore transportation, so a large number of disaster relief teams and materials have gathered here, there is no shortage of water and food here, tents are relatively lacking in the short term, and many medical teams have gathered here, so there is no epidemic in Maoxian County!
Chen Qiang's tent was quickly used for the resettlement of the victims, and the rest of the tents were used for the accompanying migrant workers and technicians, Deputy Director Jiang left a tent for Liu Changfei alone, and the others could only sleep in the car, in fact, sleeping in the car is better than sleeping in the tent!
Chen Qiang and the others started to rest when it was already one o'clock in the evening, and after a few small aftershocks, it rained heavily, Chen Qiang and they slept in the car, and the windows were full of thick fog!
Liu Changfei's tent is actually even worse, due to the heavy rain and the lack of experience of the disaster relief team in the wild, Liu Changfei's tent has been wet for most of the time at two o'clock in the middle of the night, plus aftershocks from time to time, Liu Changfei did not fall asleep all night!
The few people in the car were relatively better, at least the car was dry, and when the aftershocks came, the suspension of the vehicle could offset some minor aftershocks, so a few people in the car fell asleep for three or four hours!
……
……
After a whole night of heavy rain, the sky was shining again the next day, and the weather in mid-May in Mao County was close to 30 degrees, which was undoubtedly more intense for disaster relief!
At about six o'clock in the evening, Chen Qiang had already woken up, he walked out of the car door, although he was prepared, but he was still stunned by the scene in front of him!
This is not the epicenter, there are still 150 kilometers from the epicenter, but the damage here is also very serious, basically the houses built before the 90s have collapsed or the walls are cracked and cannot be inhabited, and some early public buildings have also collapsed!
The whole Maoxian looks like a ruin, and occasionally a few modern buildings still swear the existence of Maoxian!
This county town of only 20,000 people basically needs to be completely rebuilt, and the people evacuated from the epicenter are still pouring out.
Liu Changfei decided to start the construction of the resettlement board house early in the morning, and according to the original plan, he was ready to build 30,000 square meters of board house in half a month, about 1,500 rooms!
It is impossible to set up tower cranes in the disaster area like a normal construction site, and all construction can only be done with simple machinery and manually!
The twenty or so migrant workers prepared by Jiang Xiaoxiao are obviously not enough, and after only half a day, there are migrant workers who are ready to leave!
The reason for their departure is simple, how can they continue to do it when their lives are threatened!
Jiang Xiaoxiao and Chen Qiang had no choice but to use economic means to stimulate, from the initial 300 yuan a day to 500 yuan a day!
In the afternoon of the same day, when the construction was underway, there was another six-level aftershock, and all the migrant workers were so frightened that they ran out of the construction site, and when they came to their senses, the team organized by Jiang Xiaoxiao had already left five people!
Jiang Xiaoxiao had no choice but to open her salary to 1,000 yuan a day, so there were still workers to leave!
This innate fear is not something that can be solved with money!
Of course, whatever the reason, the workers who were able to stay and continue working in the end were amazing!
Same! There's nothing wrong with leaving! After all, they are all the pillars of the family!
