Chapter 282 Let them live until the end of their lives
Maybe it was because Xiao Yunfan drove the car by himself and was speeding the whole way, so he came here much faster this time. It took him four and a half hours to get there, but it was already past six o'clock in the afternoon and only half past ten o'clock in the evening. Four hours left.
"Xiaochan, what happened?" Xiao Yunfan was panting and looked a little tired. Maybe it was because he had just returned from his last job and hadn't had time to rest, so he rushed over in a hurry because of her call. Maybe Not even a moment's rest.
Xia Chan couldn't say those words, so she handed the paper she had written in advance to Xiao Yunfan.
I saw it read, 'At 10:30 tonight, in Lin'an City, Gujia City, and Yuangao City, landslides will occur.'
With the words "mountains collapsing and ground breaking apart", Xiao Yunfan knew what was going on, and his expression became serious, and then he said, "Take care of yourself, I'm going to deal with this matter."
The situation was urgent. Xia Chan didn't ask him, "Do you just trust me so much?" Instead, she nodded to him and asked him to do it with confidence. Since she already knew, she would naturally lead her family to avoid this disaster. .
At 8:30 in the evening, when most people were preparing to go to bed, the voice of the captain rang out on the radio of the Yong'an Production Team. The captain asked everyone, regardless of men, women, old and young, young children or paralyzed old people, to go to work at 10 Show up at the grain drying yard before 10 o'clock, otherwise the whole family's work points for the whole year will be deducted. Everyone is also reminded to move out all the furniture that can be moved out. Anyway, as long as you arrive at the grain drying yard before ten o'clock, it will be fine.
This punishment was so severe that it would starve an entire family for a year. Anyone who had any resentment in their hearts would quickly pack up their children and elderly people, clean up their homes, and rush to the grain drying field.
The captain would shout on the radio every half hour until all the villagers and educated youths appeared in the grain drying field. After that, he asked Xiao Fengfeng to read the news to everyone in the radio room so that everyone could listen carefully.
Everyone thought that there was something important about the captain calling everyone out in the middle of the night. Unexpectedly, he actually asked everyone to come over to listen to the news. He had obviously listened to it every morning, so why did he let everyone listen to the news at night?
At 10:25, the captain asked Xiao Fengfeng to stop. Xiao Fengfeng came out of the broadcast room and walked to Xia Chan and the others, waiting for the captain to start a meeting.
Some people were anxious to leave, and some people bent their waists and tried to sneak away. As a result, at half past ten, there was a sudden violent shaking, and all the unsuspecting people were knocked down. Even Xia Chan had already prepared his mind. He was ready, but she was also shaken and fell to the ground. Zhou Qizhi hurriedly pulled her over and protected her tightly.
The shaking feeling lasted for a while. After everyone reacted, they were all frightened. If they didn't come out for the meeting tonight, would they be buried in the house?
Although most of the houses we build are made of mud bricks, there are tiles on the roof. If such heavy tiles and mud bricks fall down, you will be injured even if you don't die, right?
But because they all came out for the meeting, they avoided getting hurt.
This was the first time for Xia Chan to experience such a thing in person. Even though she was mentally prepared, she was still panicking. In the 21st century, she had only seen such things in Moments, the news and Weibo. Moreover, some of her classmates had experienced such things personally. Fortunately, there was a warning and everyone ran out, so nothing serious happened in the end.
It rocked intermittently a few more times, but the time was not as long as the first time. No one dared to go back. They all sat on the grain drying ground, and the whole family cuddled up to each other in the middle of the night.
Xia Chan's heartstrings were always tense, knowing that there would not be as many casualties as in the nightmare. As soon as she relaxed, she felt very tired, so she leaned on Zhou Qizhi and fell asleep. Even when she fell asleep, everything was in her mind. Thinking that this time, tens of thousands of people have been saved and the losses have been minimized. God should have mercy on the five brothers and sisters and let them live until the end of their lives, right? She didn't want to die miserably due to various accidents.
She just wants to live well, why is it so difficult?
The next morning, a ray of light pierced the sky, making the whole world brighter. When everyone opened their eyes, they were still a little confused and didn't understand why they slept on the grain drying field. It wasn't until they recalled what happened last night that everyone knew They were lucky enough to escape, and they all cheered each other.
If the house is gone, you can build it again, but if the people are gone, then there is nothing.
The circuit was interrupted and the radio was unusable, so the team leader knocked on the gong and said, "Quiet, everyone. Let's go home first and see what's going on at home. We should pack up all the usable things. The gay men will go to the mountains to cut down trees." Build a shed, let everyone live in the shed first, and then go home to live after the house is repaired.”
After that, the captain followed everyone to check the situation. After having a basic understanding, he could arrange the next things. The old man and the children stayed in the grain drying field. It was the end of June and the temperature was already quite high. They stayed in the grain drying field. It's not cold either.
Since everyone moved the furniture and other items into the yard in advance, the damage was not serious, and there were still many things that could be used after tidying up. Most people had stoves and clay pots, so eating during this period was not a problem. of.
After the visit, the team leader arranged for one-third of the people to make mud bricks, one-third of the people to clean the collapsed houses, and the remaining one-third to take care of the crops in the fields. I originally thought that this year would be a bumper harvest. year, but I didn't expect that such a thing would happen. Fortunately, the people in their production team came out in time and there was nothing wrong.
Cleaning from house to house will make the progress faster. Once the mud bricks are usable, houses can be built as soon as possible.
Xia Chan and his family's house is a stone house, and it has been there for many years. It has resisted before, but not this time, but the lower part is still there, so there is no need to knock it down and rebuild, just build on top.
Jin Pengyuan wanted to build a new house to get married. Now that half of the house has collapsed, he can demolish it all and build a brick house. However, the team is busy rebuilding and there is no time to build his brick house for the time being, so he can only wait.
After Xia Chan and the others returned home, they also went up the mountain to cut firewood and grass. When they came back, they built a straw shed in the yard to live temporarily. Since there were no mud bricks now, they could only wait for the team to finish the mud bricks before they could build their own house. .
After eating something simple at home, the brothers went to work, cleaning the collapsed houses and making mud bricks. Xia Chan took Xiao Tiantian and Yuan Bingbing to the mountains to see cassava and pick some mushrooms. Dig some wild vegetables.
Yuan Bingbing said to Xia Chan, "Xiao Chan, I want to go home and see. I don't know what's going on at home. I'm really worried about my family."
"Go and tell the captain, he should agree to your return." Xia Chan said, everyone should be fine. After all, they have been notified in advance. If there are disobedient people staying at home, it has nothing to do with others.
