Chapter 140: Money Equals Waste Paper
Yangyang was far away towards Jiang Shiyue and shook his little arms.
When Chen Shanhe's father and son arrived, Jiang Shiyue saw clearly that Yang Yang was holding anti-inflammatory and painkillers in his hand.
There are only a few of them.
Chen Shanhe put down Yangyang, untied the kettle from his waist and handed it to Jiang Shiyue, explaining: "At present, there is a shortage of all kinds of materials, including medicines. ”
Jiang Shiyue nodded, took the medicinal water from Yangyang's hand and put it in his mouth, and asked Chen Shanhe, "You want to go to the disaster area?" ”
Interrogative sentences, affirmative tones.
Chen Shanhe nodded, "We inquired along the way, and this earthquake was particularly severe, as high as magnitude eight. ”
He raised his hand and pointed in a direction, "The city was almost razed to the ground, and there was an earthquake in both areas at the same time." Neighboring provinces and cities have been greatly affected. Our city is currently without electricity, water, and food, and is in dire need of support. ”
Chen Shanhe paused, "So, I have to trouble you to help send my mother and sister-in-law back to their hometown." ”
It is his duty to rescue and fight disasters.
Jiang Shiyue bowed her head and was silent.
Chen Shanhe said again: "I know that my sister-in-law is not likable, but you don't want to." But, anyway, I have to give my eldest brother an explanation. I also know that I shouldn't let a girl go far on your own...... I can only ask you for this after thinking about it. ”
Others can't bring Yangyang.
Jiang Shiyue didn't answer and asked: "Are there guest houses or family buildings in all compounds?" ”
Chen Shanhe didn't know why, but still nodded, "Generally speaking, that's the case." ”
There are also very few that don't.
"Then can you arrange your mother and sister-in-law in the guest house first? I want to go with you to the rescue. ”
Chen Shanhe frowned, "You are a girl...... It's dangerous. ”
Jiang Shiyue said a short "heh", "Now men and women are equal." Why do I want to do my part to help the disaster-stricken area? Besides, the rescue is dangerous, and there is no danger in sending Zhao Caifeng? She kept shouting that she was going to sell me! ”
Chen Shanhe: "......"
The two men engaged in a debate that lasted three minutes.
Chen Shanhe, who is not good at words, was defeated.
Chen Shanhe asked someone to send his mother and Zhao Caifeng to a makeshift shelter tent to settle down temporarily.
Chen Shanhe and Jiang Shiyue rushed to the disaster area together, and after arriving at the epicenter, they acted separately.
Chen Shanhe showed his ID and obtained temporary permission to drive all the helicopters that ordinary pilots could not drive to the open field.
This allows other pilots to arrive on site quickly with people and goods.
In '78, all aircraft were under the control of the military.
The earthquake-stricken area needed time to clear the route for rescue teams to enter, and the fastest way to reach it was by helicopter.
Every helicopter that Chen Shanhe drove out meant that a team of PLA soldiers could arrive at the rescue site as soon as possible.
Seventy-two hours of gold, and every second is heavier than a thousand gold.

Jiang Shiyue settled Yangyang in a makeshift tent, stuffed him with a book, and left the tent.
The book in Yangyang's hand has changed from "The Art of War" to "Shennong's Hundred Herbs".
The reason why I read Chinese medicine books is because I only bought this one in the bookstore halfway through.
This is what Yang Yang himself requested.
It is rare for him to take the initiative to make a request, no matter how difficult it is, Chen Shanhe and Jiang Shiyue want to meet him.
For adults, Yang Yang, who is only three years old, has already helped a lot as long as he doesn't cry or make a fuss and stays quietly in the tent.
Yangyang's requirements are very low, as long as Jiang Shiyue appears in his sight from time to time.
Jiang Shiyue's visit to the disaster area was not impulsive or chaotic, she had two plans.
The money that Jiang Shiyue carried with him added up to more than 1,700 yuan, and this money could save many people when exchanged for grain, oil, rice, noodles or emergency medicines.
But on the way to the disaster area, Jiang Shiyue understood one thing.
In the face of absolute natural disasters, banknotes are about equal to waste paper.
There is an extreme shortage of grain, oil, rice and flour throughout the city.
When trains and cars are not available, the money in her hand cannot be exchanged for any supplies.
Another plan is to act as a temporary nurse.
In his previous life, Jiang Shiyue had too many young people around him who died suddenly due to overwork.
With a wave of her hand, she signed up for a first-aid class for the team, just in case her colleague had three longs and two shorts, so that she could buy more rescue time.
Jiang Shiyue is very serious in her studies, and she can't compare with professional nurses, but she is much better than ordinary people.
It is no problem to treat simple wounds, bandages and even intravenous drips.
However, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.
All the medical resources that can be mobilized in the disaster area are used for seriously injured patients whose lives are hanging by a thread.
Minor injuries not only do not receive timely treatment for the wounds, but also have to be saved on the front line.
Jiang Shiyue was dumbfounded, she didn't expect that she couldn't help with anything.
Another thought is that the medicine is so scarce that it can't be used for non-serious illness, how did Chen Shanhe get the few pills he ate?

Reform and opening up have just begun to sprout, and our heavy industry is still very backward.
In my previous life, I would see airplanes hovering over the disaster area on TV, trucks of relief materials were transported into the disaster area, and various carts, forklifts, forklifts, and cranes were all working on the scene.
But in front of Jiang Shiyue, the main rescue force is people.
In the era when bicycles were rare, a car starting from 100,000 yuan was equivalent to ten sets of courtyard houses in Sijiu City.
Higher-cost trucks aren't likely to be all over the streets.
In fact, this disaster city is still a heavy industrial city, but the entire city has been almost razed to the ground, and the machinery that can still move is very precious.
As a result, the main force of rescue can only be people.
Heavy beams to be lifted. Bricks have to be moved. The wounded need to be rescued.
Even food and water are being found.
The sound of one, two, three, and the sound of the horn resounded rhythmically over the entire disaster area.
Jiang Shiyue stood at the door of the tent blankly, weaker than the day she had just been reborn.
What can she do for the people in the disaster area?
When she was reborn, she at least knew what she could do, and now she was at a loss and full of sorrow.
What you see on the scene of a disaster and what you see on TV are completely different concepts.
It only makes people feel powerless and the preciousness of life.
"One, two, three, up!"
The sound of the slogan that was close at hand pulled Jiang Shiyue's thoughts back to reality.
Not far from her, a group of men were trying to pull up a half-collapsed brick wall.
There were several paramedic carrying stretchers standing nearby.
Jiang Shiyue immediately understood that there were people buried under the collapsed house.
But the brick wall was too heavy for a makeshift rescue team of a dozen men, women and children to lift it.
Get together and discuss what to do.
"Why don't we smash it open?"
"There are people under the wall, what if you hurt them?"
"That really can't be moved? Why don't you call a few more people? ”
"Everyone is busy saving people, and there are really no idle people...... Huh? Comrade, will you come and help? The man looked up and saw Jiang Shiyue standing at the door of the tent waving to her.
Jiang Shiyue didn't go over for the first time, looked left and right, and dragged a wooden pillar on the ground before walking towards everyone.
