Natural Disaster (MTL)

Chapter 41

Chapter 41

Qiao Qingqing didn't care about other people's complicated thoughts. When the day came for the material ship to distribute the supplies, she and Shao Shengan took Shao Shengfei out together. When he opened the iron gate, he met Zheng Tiehui and her daughter. Zheng Tiehui, who has always been good at dancing with long sleeves, couldn't dance this time. His face twitched twice, and he walked downstairs without saying hello.

Going downstairs, Qiao Qingqing met Wang Jiale and Chen Binggang again. The former greeted their husband and wife cheerfully as usual, while the latter hurriedly walked away with an embarrassed whisper.

"Let's go first. Today we plan to bring a few children with us, so we have to go slowly." Wang Jiale said.

"Okay." Shao Shengan nodded.

Several families moved separately. Qiao Qingqing and his wife used ice skates very fast. When they came to the supply ship, they saw a lot of building materials. The materials were piled up like a mountain. Qiao Qingqing knew at a glance that it was the same as in her previous life. Shelter is going to be built here. This sanctuary will accommodate many elderly and children in the future, until the temperature suddenly rises, the accumulated ice quickly dissolves, and everything will return to the torrent.

Everyone was talking about the material, and Shao Shengan asked the soldiers to inquire, and the soldiers pointed: "There is an announcement there, you can read it yourself."

Shao Shengan asked Qiao Qingqing to lead Shao Shengfei to wait for him, and he squeezed into the crowd to see the announcement. Qiao Qingqing led Shao Shengfei to the queue first, waiting for Shao Shengan to come back to them after reading the announcement. Sure enough, Shao Shengan squeezed out of the crowd again, looked left and right, and quickly locked their positions and rushed over.

"What did the announcement say?"

"It's about building a cold shelter, recruiting workers, taking care of two meals a day, and paying wages on a daily basis. The wages are one pound of rice and two bottles of water." Shao Shengan said that the treatment was very good, and many people After reading the announcement, they said to sign up.

"Let's sign up for our family too." Shao Shengan asked Qiao Qingqing's opinion.

Qiao Qingqing just laughed: "Okay."

Their family always has to follow the trend and make a positive gesture of earning supplies. As for whether they can be selected after signing up, and whether they can be selected or not, it is another way of saying.

Today's supplies are very rich. Brother Jun said that this time, the amount distributed is five days, so the next time to receive the supplies will be five days later.

"The road was blocked by ice, so materials were in short supply a while ago. Now the situation is better, and it will be better in the future." The soldiers would also say some encouraging words, and the atmosphere in the team was very good. Qiao Qingqing thanked him with a smile, and sincerely said hard work. Shao Shengfei was very strong, he carried the three people's supplies by himself, and it seemed quite relaxed.

"Sister, give me yours too," he said.

"Brother, I'll take it myself."

Shao Shengan took over what Qiao Qingqing had in hand: "I'll do it." He said with a smile, "Mr. Qiao, we'll do the rough work, you can sign up."

Qiao Qingqing laughed: "Okay . ."

She signed up for her, Shao Sheng'an and Shao's father, and this was the plan that was negotiated before.

"Come here in five days to see the announcement of the list."

"Okay." The

Shao Shengan brothers were waiting for her not far away. Qiao Qingqing walked over, and suddenly a few cries came from a distance. She stood still and followed the sound. , several people pulled close to the material ship.

"I'm going to call the police! Comrade police, I'm going to call the police!" A middle-aged woman cried out loudly. She broke free and dragged her to run forward. She fell to the ground and got up again, with tears in her eyes and a shrill voice, "My brother starved me to death. Mom! He starved my mom to death! Woohoo! My mother didn't hide from my brother, and she still received supplies as usual, and my mother was frozen in the closet, woohoo!"

The people around were attracted by this change. Eyes, many people stopped to watch.

The soldiers who responded quickly had already taken action. Two soldiers rushed over, one helped the woman on the ground, and the other stopped the group of people chasing the woman.

"Stand still! Don't move!" Seeing that some of them had knives in their hands, the military brother drew his gun, "Don't move!" The

woman couldn't stand up. She held on to the arm of the young soldier who was supporting her and shouted loudly. : "Beasts! They are all beasts! How can you do this, that's our mother!"

Qiao Qingqing retracted his gaze and walked to Shao Sheng'an's side.

Shao Shengan gently touched her head, still looking at the change over there.

"No, no! My mother died just yesterday, and I don't have a place to bury it now, so I have to put it at home first. This is a misunderstanding! Big sister, don't talk nonsense, I'm your own brother!"

"I asked! Neighbors They say that I haven't seen my mother go out for half a month, and I haven't heard her coughing. My mother has been dead for at least half a month! The last time I came here, my mother said that I was so hungry that I couldn't sleep at night. It's time to take my mother away, my mother! You are so bitter! The stomachs of the corpses are all deflated, deflated! Wu Jianxin! You will have retribution, you will have retribution!"

Finally, the woman and her brother The whole family was taken away. There was still a lot of discussion about this in the crowd. Shao Shengan said softly: "Go home." On the way, Shao Shengfei

asked innocently: "Brother, what is starvation?"

Death."

Shao Shengfei covered his stomach in fear: "Then I don't want to starve to death." "

No, we will not starve to death."

The popsicles are spicy with millet and mung bean sprouts.

"I don't know where the supplies came from. Are there still vegetables?"

"There must be a way to grow them. Isn't it going to build a greenhouse? We should be able to grow them here in the future.

" Let's have cabbage, the cafeteria in the factory used to make this very delicious."

So at noon Qiao Qingqing ate the stewed cabbage with vermicelli made by Mrs. Shao, with spicy millet, yuba, and dried bean curd. Go down, and the spicy juice bursts in the mouth.

"Delicious." Qiao Qingqing praised.

"It's especially delicious, better than anything I've eaten before." Shao Shengan also gave a thumbs up.

Shao's mother was so happy that there was only a slit left in her eyes: "Eat more if it's delicious. I cooked a lot."

This dish was really refreshing, and in the end, even the soup was eaten up by Shao's father's bibimbap.

After taking a nap in the afternoon, Qiao Qingqing exercised first, and then read.

"Have you finished reading that book?" Shao Shengan asked after finishing the training task assigned by Qiao Qingqing.

"Well, I've finished reading that book, come here, can you identify the acupuncture points for me?"

"Okay." Shao Shengan sat in front of Qiao Qingqing and asked her to touch it. He thought it was a little funny: "Is it really possible to learn Chinese medicine by myself?"

"Yes, why not." Qiao Qingqing focused on finding the acupuncture point on Shao Sheng'an's back, made a mark with a red pen, and said casually, "I I saw a barefoot doctor in the survivor base. He said he was a barefoot doctor, a top student in the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. At that time, I wanted to have books to read, no matter what I learned, but unfortunately I didn't, and books were very precious at that time."

After she finished speaking, she felt that Shao Shengan was silent, and just wanted to lean over to see his With the expression on his face, I heard Shao Shengan say in a relaxed and happy tone: "It sounds really good, then I'll learn it together. Let's get laid off and re-employment together, cultivate second skills, and then be able to support our family in the future."

"Yes . , anyway, the book is there, you can read it as you like."

Qiao Qingqing's self-learning Chinese medicine effect quickly showed.

The weather is too cold, although there is no snow and the air is dry and cold, the temperature of minus 50 is really enough, the ground is slippery, and you will fall if you are not careful. Three days later, Shao's father slipped and fell when he went downstairs to throw the garbage, and couldn't get up. Fortunately, Chen Binggang also came down to take out the garbage, and hurried back to call someone, and Shao Shengan immediately went downstairs to carry Shao's father back.

"How do you feel?" Shao's mother turned around in a hurry, and Shao Shengfei was also uneasy, holding his hands and his eyes were red.

Qiao Songzhi asked Shao's mother to take care of Shao Shengfei: "Don't let the children frighten." Turning to ask Qiao Qingqing, "What do you see?"

Qiao Qingqing pinched Father Shao's ankle and asked carefully.

"...It doesn't hurt...Hey! It hurts! It hurts here!"

Qiao Qingqing nodded: "The bones are fine, it should be a sprained ankle, so apply cold compresses first."

Shao Shengan immediately went to get a towel and went to the kitchen to dig the knots in the bucket Ice cubes of water, after breaking a few pieces, wrap it in a towel, and bring it in to give Father Shao a cold compress.

During this period, Father Shao couldn't help but snorted twice. Qiao Qingqing asked him if the pain was still bad. He nodded slightly and hissed, "It hurts a lot, just like slashing with a knife."

"Then let me get some medicine. There is a medicine box at home."

Qiao Qingqing's medicine was only a little less than the food, and it was very complete. She quickly found the right Chinese patent medicine for Shao's father.

Seeing her actions, Qiao Songzhi was very confident, but still reminded: "You also learned it yourself. It takes three to five years for others to study medicine. If you are not sure, we will send your father-in-law to the hospital."

"Don't worry, Mom, I have it. Confidence." Not to mention, bruises were the items she specialized in from the very beginning.

At night, Shao's mother took care of Shao's father and lay down, and asked him worriedly, "How do you feel?"

"It seems to be better, it's less painful, I'll sleep, and everything will be fine."

Second This morning, Shao's father's ankle did not deteriorate, Shao Shengan asked him if he wanted a hospital, he kept shaking his head: "Qingqing gave me a good medicine, I used to go to the hospital every time I fell in my hometown. There's nowhere to burn the money, it's fine."

One day, Qiao Qingqing mixed some ointment to wrap his feet, and the next day, Father Shao felt that the pain was greatly relieved, and he was full of praise for Qiao Qingqing.

"Sure enough, he's a college student, he's good at reading, he can learn everything quickly, and now Qingqing is also a doctor."

Qiao Qingqing was embarrassed by the praise: "Dad, I just learned a little bit, and I still have to learn.

" It's a pity, I can't leave for the time being, and I can't let you take my place, it's a pity!"

Today is the day to receive supplies and announce the list of recruited workers. The establishment of the shelter temporarily recruited 500 people. The list was drawn by lottery, and only the name of Father Shao was selected in the family. After seeing Shao's father's name, Shao Shengan immediately contacted the staff to see if it could be transferred to his relatives, but was rejected.

Shao Shengan raised his voice from the kitchen: "Dad, there's nothing to regret. We'll just wait for the next chance. You're so lucky to be selected by the lottery, so next time you'll be fine."

Father Shao liked to hear this. I feel better.

At the dinner table, Father Shao talked about it again. It was hard for him to let go of missing this job.

"Who else has been drawn in our building?"

Qiao Qingqing shook her head and said she didn't pay attention.

"There are more than 500 people, I can't see them clearly."

"Then how did you see your father's name?" Mother Shao was curious.

Qiao Qingqing smiled and said, "The list is arranged according to the initials of the names. The letter Q didn't find me. Sheng An saw Dad's name in the surname with the letter S.

" Where is it?"

Knowing that Zheng's surname was the last letter, Qiao Qingqing and his wife didn't pay attention, and Shao's mother was a little regretful: "You should take a look, I hope he won't be selected, that person is too bad, and he is so bad as before. Just like the deputy director of the factory, he looked at him with a grin, but he actually had a bad mind and bullied your elder brother."

Shao Shengan patted Shao Shengfei's head: "It doesn't matter if the Zheng family gets a quota, we just have to live our own lives well. ." After he finished speaking, he looked at Qiao Qingqing, and the two smiled at each other.

In the cold wind, the announcement posted by the material ship was blown away, and at the bottom of the list, the words "Zheng Liangdong" were written impressively.

However, in 802-li, Building 4, Jinyuan Community, the atmosphere was not cheerful, but rather solemn.

"Anyway, I won't go, and I won't die!" Zheng Liangdong stared at him with a dead face, and after slamming these words, he slammed the door into the room.

"You, you! Zheng Liangdong! Who will go if you don't go, I won't force you if you can change someone, and the quota cannot be transferred! You won't go? You won't go!" Zheng Tiehui shivered with anger and slammed on the door to let him out.

Mrs. Zheng was busy comforting him, but Zheng Tiehui was not so relieved this time, and almost smashed the door of the room.

"Dad, my brother's mental state is not right, haven't you found out?" Zheng Liangying said, "Don't force him."

"He stays at home every day to eat and drink, doesn't do any work, and his mental state is not good. ?" Zheng Tiehui sneered, "That's idle!" The

Zheng family was in trouble for a while, but Zheng Liangdong didn't come out during dinner.

"Let him starve to death!"

Mrs. Zheng couldn't really let her son go hungry. She looked for the key to open the door, but the house was locked, and no one responded no matter how much she shouted. Amidst Zheng Tiehui's complaints about Mrs. Zheng's spoiled children, Zheng Liangying worriedly said, "Isn't there something wrong? He told me a few days ago that he didn't want to live anymore, I thought he was joking!

" "Zheng Tiehui didn't believe it, but got even more angry. "Such a big man doesn't help the family to lighten the burden, but instead uses life or death to avoid work. What does it look like!"

"Really! Meaning! No, Dad, we have to break the door!"

801, Qiao Qingqing heard some movement next door, but she didn't pay too much attention. It wasn't until I saw Zheng Liangdong's name on the list later that I linked the noise of the next two days when the list was announced. However, the reason why Zheng Liangdong did not work, she was not interested at all.

The shelter was built in a hurry, on the original site of Jinyuan Primary School.

If there is a way to take a photo, the frozen elementary school is under the ice, and the new building is on the ice at a height of more than ten meters. The picture must be very shocking.

Qiao Qingqing and Shao Shengan went over to pick up supplies every time they went to pick them up every five days, and every time they could see the changes in the shelter.

The special material feels like foam, but it is stronger and heavier than foam. It is said that it can protect against fire and cold.

Twenty days later, the shelter was built, but no one had entered for the time being. The soldiers said they had to wait for the next batch of supplies.

"The bed has to be made."

Later, Shao Shengan realized that "making the bed" was not that simple. Because the steel pipe material was delivered, the bed had to be made on the spot, so the material ship issued a new recruitment announcement: recruiting welders and related experience workers.

There is no lottery for this job, and an interview is required.

No one in Qiao Qingqing's family knew how to weld, so he didn't sign up.

Father Shao's feet were completely healed later, and Qiao Songzhi caught a cold. After taking medicine for a few days at home, his condition improved at the beginning. On the sixth night, he suddenly started to burn in the middle of the night. The cough worsened and he had difficulty breathing. people to the hospital.
