Natural Disaster (MTL)

Chapter 64

Chapter 64

There are more and more refugees in Qiuye Village, and people arrive almost every day. Village Chief Ye is so busy that his feet are not touching the ground, and his hands are sore when he writes. He never imagined that one day he would be sore because of writing. He didn't even feel sore hands during the autumn harvest.

"I don't think it's right. After the family from the end of the alley came, the refugees who came later all asked to enter the house and buy land." Ye Changtian said to the village chief, "Those people got together and even had cars! Come today! The one in the car still has an RV! Dad, do you know how much it's worth? After the natural disaster, there is still a RV to drive. I even looked at its tires. They are new! They must be changed all the way, and they must be maintained and repaired all the way. We came from here."

"What's so strange, there are people who are richer at any time."

"Dad!"

Village Chief Ye looked at his son, who was not too young. He was thirty-five years old. He was not as immature as he was when he was fifteen years old, and when he stared at his father, he could even feel the pressure brought by his son.

"Stinky boy..." Village Chief Ye scolded, "Do you think your father and I are stupid? I'm not stupid! But what can we do? They gave so much, and I took the materials for their land and household registration. Next, do you know how much more children in the village can eat? Today's children are suffering, and our family's Xiaoyue is also the same. They don't have enough nutrition. How can they grow taller? How can they grow up? , Those things, even if I don't accept them, they will stay and live. The people in Yeshan said that they can't expel the refugees, so why don't I meet their demands and accept those materials?"

"But the land deed and household registration . Ben—"

"Yes, that's what I wrote. Since they want me to write it, it will definitely be useful in the future. Changtian, I don't care, I just look at the eyes." He said to his son, "As long as the people in our village don't It's okay to suffer."

Ye Changtian pursed his lips: "Dad, I feel very uneasy."

"What are you afraid of! This is Qiuye Village, and Yeshan is next door! We are the closest village to Yeshan. If something goes wrong, our village will not have an accident. Yeshan will protect us." Don't worry about this, you can't manage it, those people must have backers behind them, we can't stop them, just live a good life!"

There are more and more people in the village, and Qiao Qingqing and his family moved to the open space behind their tents. A family came.

Shao Shengan had met the male owner of the house twice, and frowned: "I think it looks familiar."

One day he suddenly remembered: "He is Zheng Pingyun, the president of Huacheng XX Company, Qingqing, he is in front of the Huacheng Rich List. One of the ten, my company has had several business dealings with his company."

"I also met the younger brother of Director Wang of the XX Bureau, in the area of ​​the No. 3 deep water well." Qiao Qingqing also said.

"I feel like this is going to change. You said that this will be transformed into a new community in the future, and I think this is a harbinger." Powerful people came early to take root, which is very telling.

"Well, maybe... the main force is coming."

"Doctor Qiao?"

Someone called her outside the tent, Qiao Qingqing coughed: "I'm here." Open the curtain and go out.

In the tent, Mother Shao smiled and said, "Oh, Dr. Qiao is so nice, my daughter-in-law is a doctor."

Father Shao also shared with Yourongyan: "Our Shao family's ancestral grave is really smoked, but unfortunately we can't go back to our hometown now, otherwise we must I have to pay my respects to my ancestors and show off to my ancestors."

Qiao Songzhi smiled: "Sheng An is also very good. When they got married, I specially went to pay homage to my mother and told my mother that Qingqing was married. Her husband and her childhood sweethearts, He is a very tall and handsome student." The

parents praised each other, Shao Shengan smiled and accompanies Shao Shengfei to play with toys, and at the same time pricked up his ears to listen to the movement outside.

The people who came to Qiao Qingqing were the villagers of Qiuye Village. She assisted her good mother-in-law to deliver Ye Fang's birth and officially made her name in the village. At that time, Ye Fang called for two days when she gave birth. In the end, Qiao Qingqing helped, and the child was born smoothly. It is almost full moon now, although Ye Fang is gone... Alas, that is also a matter of no choice. Postpartum hemorrhage, no one can do anything but the hospital.

The good mother also said later that Dr. Qiao's acupuncture is very powerful, and he has good medicine on hand, so his reputation has been lost. These days, people from the village will come to her from time to time for consultation. If the condition is mild, the needles can be punctured with a few needles. If the condition is more serious, the villagers are willing to pay the consultation fee. With the help of Yeshan, Qiuye Village can say that the loss is relatively small, and Yeshan often distributes relief materials. , For a long time, most people's wealth is not thin.

"The child fell? Then I'll go take a look." Qiao Qingqing wanted to go back to the tent to get the medicine box, and Shao Shengan had already brought it out.

"Then let's go together." Qiao Qingqing pursed her lips and smiled.

It was completely dark the day after coming back from the consultation. On the way home, they encountered a group of people arguing. A teenager shouted: "My sister just doesn't like you! Don't be leprosy and want to eat swan meat!"

"Lin Dejun! I'll beat you up for your sister's sake!"

"Come on! Who's afraid of you!"

"Lin Dejun!"

Hearing this name, Qiao Qingqing stopped.

"Lin...is that his son?"

Qiao Qingqing nodded slightly, looking at Lin Dejun with indifferent eyes, Lin Dejun and another tall boy pushed each other, and friends on both sides quickly stopped, not far away, a white dress with black hair The beautiful girl came over and shouted in a crisp voice, "Dejun! Don't fight!"

That was Lin Weini, the first child born when Lin Mingyong cheated on Man Shu, who was only seven years younger than her.

Twenty-one-year-old Lin Weini has a thin body, long hair fluttering, and walks gracefully. The boy who fought with Lin Dejun looked straight, and hurriedly retracted his hand to straighten his hair and clothes.

"Wei, Weini, I didn't mean to fight with your brother."

Lin Weini walked over and frowned, "Zhang Qiang, for my sake, go back first, I took my brother back too, now it's dark and still It's not safe to hang around outside."

"Sister! I-"

"Don't talk... Can you Zhang Qiang?"

Zhang Qiang nodded shyly and greeted his friends to go back.

"Are you saying you're stupid? You've gone home, and Mom is looking for you." Lin Weini pulled her dissatisfied brother away, the flashlight in her hand was getting farther and farther, and the two figures drowned in the darkness.

"It turns out that they have already arrived at this time." Qiao Qingqing retracted his gaze, "Let's go."

"Qingqing, what are your plans?" Shao Shengan's mind came to the appearance of Qingqing's haggard and pain in high school. Given that pair of siblings, before that, he never thought that people's hearts would be so scary, why a pair of siblings would be so malicious towards a half-sister who had never met.

On an ordinary day, the pair of siblings asked Qingqing to go out to meet with someone after school. Qingqing was surprised and at a loss when she found out that her half-siblings came to visit her. At that time, he was called by the teacher to get the test paper, so he didn't go with him, but when he saw Qingqing later, he saw Qingqing sitting in the flower bed with a dazed face.

For the next few days, Qingqing lost her energy and often lost her mind. With his unremitting care, Qingqing told the truth. It turned out that that day, the sister and brother did not come to "recognize relatives", but to show off. They said a lot of ugly things, saying that Qingqing is not wanted, that there is no father to support her, they show off how good her father is to them, they ridicule Qingqing as an ugly thing that was thrown away, which is pathetic and pathetic. Sweeping the street...

Shao Shengan was really dumbfounded at the time, but Qingqing would not lie, the sister and brother must have said so.

But why?

The former Shao Shengan and Qiao Qingqing couldn't figure it out, and Qiao Qingqing even fell into a trap. The circle of her life is too simple. Although her parents divorced when she was seven years old, her father, Lin Mingyong, was busy with her career when she was sensible. Qiao Songzhi didn't want her daughter to learn to hate at a young age before she had any other experience, so she never spoke ill of her ex-husband.

Therefore, in Qiao Qingqing's mind, father was just a distant word. When her classmates told her that her younger siblings were coming to her, she realized that she still had younger siblings. There is no hatred in her heart, and she naturally has no resistance to her younger siblings. She met her out of curiosity and a natural intimacy due to blood relationship, but unexpectedly, she received a load of malice.

Later, under the persuasion of Shao Shengan, Qiao Qingqing figured it out.

She doesn't need to analyze and speculate on the psychology of Lin Weini's siblings, she just needs to understand that she shouldn't take their actions to heart. Since she has no feelings, she doesn't need to be sad about it. They want her to have a hard time, but they have to do it well and get the test results.

"I have no plans." Qiao Qingqing took Shao Sheng'an's hand and continued walking. In the past life, their siblings had a bad life. How did they show off how much Lin Mingyong loved them in the past, and whether the future love for them can be tolerated, she will just stand by and watch!

Knowing that Lin Mingyong's family also came to Qiuye Village, Qiao Qingqing planned to tell her mother not to be unprepared when they met.

"He's here too?" Qiao Songzhi frowned, thinking of what her daughter had said in her previous life, she hated her teeth.

"Mom, don't be angry with that kind of person. What should I do if I get angry? I forgot to tell you that I took his small treasury." With a smile, he went to Yulong Bay to take Lin Mingyong and hid it in the I talked about the safe in the pool. "In this life, he wants to work hard for his career, but he has a lot less capital than in his previous life."

Even in his previous life, Lin Mingyong didn't actually have much success. In the tenth year of the end of the world, he was a small leader in the logistics department. In order to climb up, he gave up The daughter and daughter-in-law are still eyeing her disfigured daughter, it can be seen that he has reached a bottleneck and can no longer be promoted. Without those gold jewels in this life, Lin Mingyong may not even be able to get along with the junior leaders of the logistics department.

Qiao Songzhi felt relieved, but also felt strange: "How could his wife just sit back and let him do nothing to her daughter?"

"I didn't meet Yu Manshu at that time. When I asked about his family, people told me that he was a widower. "

Qiao Songzhi was stunned for a moment, thinking of the strong woman who looked gentle but sharp-eyed, Yu Manshu touched her stomach and said that she was pregnant and could not have an abortion due to physical reasons.

"I can only apologise to you." Yu Manshu looked at her apologetically and sympathetically, saying the so-called apology, but her eyes were condescending.

She shook her head: "regardless of their family's affairs, as long as they don't provoke us, who is willing to pay attention to them!"

Qiao Qingqing hugged her mother and said with a smile, "Ignore them, we will live our own lives."

Qiao Qingqing The family's life in Qiuye Village gradually stabilized, and she also gained a little reputation among the villagers with her medical skills. There is a shortage of doctors and medicines in the local area. There must be doctors on Yeshan, but ordinary people cannot go up the mountain without permission. There are soldiers at the foot of the mountain guarding with guns. Among the refugees, there are not no doctors, but those who are willing to save people do not have medicines, and those who have medicines shout high prices. The natural disaster has been going on for several years, and the medicine is only one less. Maybe one day, oneself or a loved one gets sick, Is there only one life-saving medicine missing?

Therefore, although more and more refugees gather in Akiba Village, people can only survive when they are sick.

Qiao Qingqing has medicine on hand, and I heard that there is ginseng. But Qiao Qingqing doesn't prescribe medicine every time. When prescribing medicine, she also takes out crushed medicine powder or soaked potion. She said that the reserve is limited, and everyone believes this. Dr. Qiao's family only has a tricycle and camel luggage. I heard that people come on foot. How much can they carry? It is good to have a little medicinal powder. They have survived some minor illnesses in the past few years. The body's resistance has increased too much. If you take a little medicinal powder to speed up the recovery, it will not be bad.

What Qiao Qingqing diagnoses and treats the most is heatstroke, so after diluting Huoxiangzhengqi water with water, a large bottle can be sold in three or two days.

There are also various types of remuneration. The more generous ones have a handful of rice. The normal remuneration is a bundle of firewood, a piece of unpatched clothes, or an enamel cup. She also received a bamboo woven chair, which was the last time she helped her. The reward received by a child with a crooked foot after the bone is set.

The asylum seeker heard the news and came over to ask if he could sell ginseng to him. Qiao Qingqing sold a box and asked to settle it in gold, and the man readily agreed.

Later, there were occasional non-medical, pure business, and even people came to ask if there was a certain brother.

"..." Although Qiao Qingqing did stock up on a lot of things, he really didn't stock up on such things.

The man was a little disappointed, but in the end he bought a copy of American ginseng to go back.

Qiao Qingqing didn't sell too much. After selling it three times, she said that there was no stock. No matter how high the price was, she didn't let her go even when they said they could give her a car.

"I really don't have it anymore. Otherwise, I live in a tent and only have a three-wheeled motorcycle at home. Why wouldn't I want an SUV? It's really gone, alas!" After a

few times, no one came to her to buy one. Things are gone, Qiao Qingqing is a "Doctor Qiao" with peace of mind, honing his medical skills in the process of seeing a doctor for the villagers.

There are still many pregnant women in Qiuye Village. The good woman said that she is too old and unable to do what she wants, so she often asks Qiao Qingqing to cooperate with the delivery. She spoke directly: "Everyone has nothing to do, so why don't you just create children at home? In fact, Fang's luck has been calculated, at least her children survived. I have handled it in the past two years... three of them are adults and children. It's all gone, alas! The village chief has said that it's a crime to have children these days, so let the villagers take it easy, but outsiders can't control what husbands and wives do at home at night. Today's house was born during a heavy rainstorm. I passed one last year, one last year, and that one was enough when I was born, but you see, another one this year! I really don't want to live anymore."

Qiao Qingqing cooperated with her mother several times, and also learned some knowledge of birth delivery along the way. The good mother is also willing to teach her: "This is a good craft. My grandmother taught my mother, and my mother taught me. In the past, everyone gave birth to children like this. Later, everyone's life got better, and the government did not let them. When I give birth at home, my craftsmanship is abandoned. I don't think I'm seventy years old, and I have to be a midwife again. You are young, you are a doctor, how good it is to learn to deliver babies."

Shao Shengan is not only happy for the smooth development of his wife's career, but also worried that he can't find a job direction. He thought, there must be no need to repair electrical circuits or electrical appliances in the village, but there are on Yeshan.

There is a solar generator on Yeshan, and there are always lights on Yeshan at night. Since there is electricity on the mountain, the equipment that needs to be powered on must be turned on, and as long as the equipment is turned on, it needs maintenance. He heard Qingqing say that there is an arsenal in Yeshan, and he doesn't know where there are coal mines. He guessed that there are arsenals and iron ore. In short, there should be job opportunities in Yeshan.

So when the military card on Yeshan came down to deliver the supplies, Shao Shengan went to ask: "Do you recruit electricians?"

Brother Jun looked at him: "Are you an electrical engineer?"

"I'm not, but I know some conventional circuits. Maintenance, wiring and wiring, I can learn more advanced content."

"There were some professionals recruited on the mountain before, and there is no shortage now. You can register first, and you will be notified for an interview when you need it."

Shao Shengan is very happy : "Okay." He wrote his name, place of origin, education and address on the notebook.

The five deep-water wells in the village were soon dug. Water is now the most precious living resource. Five guards were left on Yeshan for this purpose. The leader, Wu Squad Leader, also discussed with the village leader Ye, and asked him to make arrangements for fetching water. Someone or a group occupies a deep well so that no one else can reach it.

"This, I can do my best to arrange it. Now that there is water, it's too late for everyone to be happy, and they won't make trouble." Village Chief Ye was a little helpless, "But I can't control the people who are not the villagers of Qiuye Village. It's up to you to come. Tube."

Village Chief Wu nodded: "I have roughly counted the number of people, and the number of outsiders is twice that of your village... In this way, the people of Qiuye Village are divided into three wells, and the refugees are divided into two wells. Do you think it is acceptable?"

Ye Village Chang readily accepted. This world is not good. Although the refugees have occupied the survival resources of the villagers, as long as the leaders on Yeshan can safeguard the interests of the villagers, the two sides can still live in peace.

On the side of the refugees, Squad Leader Wu made a water meter. When the sun rises, the deep well is closed. After the sun sets and before it rises, it is time to draw water. Each household can only draw water once a day. liters of water. As for the order of fetching water, Squad Leader Wu also made arrangements, drawing lots to plan the fetching period.

Village Chief Ye also has a water meter on his side. The water specification is specified by Wu Squad Leader. He can only arrange the villagers' water draw time. After the lottery, Qiao Qingqing's family was assigned to fetch water between 3:00 and 4:00 in the morning.

"Let's go in two batches." Shao Shengan said, "I'll take the mothers to fetch water first, Qingqing, you take dad and elder brother."

Qiao Qingqing has no objection to this arrangement. I set out with a bucket first, and came back at 3:30, carrying half a bucket of water.

"There is a water collector there, which is made of two-liter beverage bottles. The well water is pumped up into the bucket first, and then the water is measured with the beverage bottle. One person measures one bottle. The three of us are three bottles, and no more than a little." Shao Shengan He explained, "That's good. Squad Leader Wu is guarding there. The team is very orderly, and there is no need for quarrels or fights."

"Then let's hurry up too!" said Father Shao.

After the opening of the deep well, the atmosphere of Akiba Village has obviously become much more cheerful.

Although a person only has two liters of water a day, limited supply for a limited time, but after the high temperature, this is already an extremely luxurious enjoyment! You must know that in the water supplies distributed on Yeshan, there is only one bottle of 350 ml of water a day. After cooking rice (the rice that is not cooked with enough water is particularly hard), it is not bad to have two mouthfuls left to drink. I sweat profusely every day in the high temperature. The lack of water made the throat smoke, and I could not wait to lick back all the sweat that flowed out.

Everyone was beaming with joy, like a New Year's Eve.

Qiao Qingqing's family is not short of water. The tap water she has stored is enough for their family to eat and drink for at least fifteen years. During the rainy season, she also stored a lot of rainwater for living. Qiao Qingqing boiled the water from the deep well and used it as an anti-heat medicine. Before adding the dried honeysuckle to boil, she tasted it.

"Is it bad?" Seeing her frowning, Shao Shengan asked.

"It's a little bit bitter." Qiao Qingqing said, "It's fine. After boiling the honeysuckle, it won't come out. I'll add a little more rock sugar."

She didn't add a lot of honeysuckle, only a pinch, and finally put a piece of old rock candy. .

After boiling for more than an hour, the honeysuckle was boiled into a transparent floc. After letting it cool down to room temperature, Qiao Qingqing packed a pot and asked Shao Shengan to take it to Squad Leader Wu and the others: "Bring a bowl."

Shao Shengan smiled and nodded: "Then I'll take my big brother with me."

An hour later, Shao Shengan They came back and the kettle was empty.

"Squad Leader Wu refused to drink at first, but I persuaded them for a while, but they were too tired, so they stood on guard there and didn't move."

"The sun is about to rise, and when the deep well is locked, they can rest for a while. Yes ."

"By the way, I also met the village chief and his son Changtian. There is a lot of honeysuckle water, so I gave them all to drink."

Qiao Qingqing laughed: "That's good, but I didn't meet the village chief. I also want to give some to his family."
