Chapter 1342 Earthquake Relief!

5:48 pm, Tenglong Logistics Park, Binjiang Development Zone.

Trucks loaded with relief supplies slowly drove into the parking lot. Zhao Jiang, the newly appointed armed minister of the development zone, immediately led the reserve officers and soldiers to put the flags of "Binjiang Development Zone Reserve Battalion" on the trucks and tied banners that read "Help from all sides when one side is in trouble" and "Rescue supplies".

According to the unified deployment of the Municipal Party Committee, Municipal Government and Military Sub-district, the Binjiang Development Zone Reserve Battalion will undertake the task of transporting emergency rescue supplies to the disaster area.

The supplies on these dozens of large trucks include equipment and supplies needed by the Linghai Reserve Battalion, Binjiang Armed Police Fire Brigade, Binjiang Municipal Public Security Bureau Special Police Brigade and Binjiang Port Enterprise Fire Brigade, but more are supplies donated to the disaster area by more than 1,000 enterprises in Binjiang's seven districts and counties.

In order to ensure that dozens of trucks of supplies can be transported to the disaster area as quickly as possible, the Development Zone Public Security Bureau and the Development Zone Armed Forces will arrange police cars and military vehicles to escort them along the way, and even specially dispatch an "emergency repair vehicle". If a tire blowout or other fault occurs along the way, the auto repair personnel will use the tools on the emergency repair vehicle to carry out repairs.

There are still sixteen vehicles loading goods from companies that have generously donated goods. It is unknown when they will be loaded and assembled.

Shen Fan was extremely anxious because the supplies in the car were urgently needed at the front line.

Just two hours ago, Yang Jianbo used a satellite phone to report the situation to his hometown, saying that the reserve officers and soldiers who were repairing the road day and night only had one can of eight-treasure porridge per person per day, and one bottle of mineral water for four people, and they were all working on an empty stomach.

Although the temporary "base" has a cooking team and can purchase firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, fruits and vegetables nearby, it is too far away from the various emergency construction teams, and the narrow roads are extremely crowded, so the prepared meals cannot be delivered.

If we can deliver instant noodles, sausages, biscuits, mineral water and other supplies earlier, our comrades will not have to go hungry sooner.

Shen Fan was just about to call the truck drivers who were loading goods when an ambulance drove into the parking lot.

"President Chen, Lao Zhu, what are you two doing?"

"Engineer Han and Director Xiang asked us to take your car to the disaster area." Director Chen of the former Bailonggang Health Center opened the back door of the ambulance and shouted, "Director Shen, please arrange two people to help me load the things onto the truck!"

Shen Fan was stunned for a moment, and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Go save people!"

"I'm not." Zhu Baogen didn't have as much stuff as Dean Chen. He took out two bags from the back seat of the ambulance and asked in a low voice, "Director Shen, which car should I get on?"

Although Bailonggang Health Center closed down long ago and Director Chen retired early, he has not left the medical front over the years. Due to the shortage of primary medical resources, he was rehired by the Fourth Factory Health Center as soon as he retired, and he went to the Fourth Factory Health Center every morning for consultations over the years.

He is an experienced old doctor. He can really help a lot in the disaster area. He even brought several large boxes of medicines and medical equipment from the Fourth Factory Health Center.

But what does Zhu Baogen do? He specializes in collecting the dead!

Engineer Han and Director Xiang were so busy on the rescue front line, but they actually thought of asking Lao Zhu to come over. What does this mean?
Shen Fan didn't dare to think further or ask any more questions. He immediately called over a few reserve officers and soldiers to help Director Chen load the medicines and medical equipment onto the truck.

……

At the same time, Hanhan, who had just finished school, ushered in the happiest time of the week.

Carrying my schoolbag, I took the bus to the Customs Building, walked south along the Bund with my mother who had also just got off work, and rushed to the ferry terminal to take the ferry to Pudong.

Her family is the same as Aunt Yuzhen's. Although they are all from Donghai now, they don't have many relatives in Donghai except her aunt, which makes life in Donghai a bit lonely.

So the two families agreed to meet up every weekend to have a meal together and have some fun. Originally, it was just two families meeting, but later Teacher Gao's family joined in, and the two families became three families meeting.

It was originally agreed that the three families would take turns, but Aunt Yuzhen's family and Teacher Gao's family had a good location, and sitting on the balcony one could overlook the night view of the Bund, so the gatherings among the three families were mainly "hosted" by Aunt Yuzhen's family and Teacher Gao's family.

As usual, Aunt Yuzhen prepared a large table of delicious food and bought a lot of fruits and snacks. Hanhan threw down her schoolbag and started eating with Little Crocodile and Little Yunfei from Teacher Gao's family without even washing her hands.

"You eat so fast that if you don't understand, you might think you are a starving ghost reincarnated!" Han Xiangning felt so embarrassed that she glared at her daughter.

At Aunt Yuzhen's house, Hanhan was not afraid of her. She laughed while eating, "I'll eat a few bites first, and then I'll play with the little crocodile and Feifei."

"Just playing."

In order to save face for her daughter in someone else's home, Han Xiangning stopped blaming her.

The children ate very quickly and went back to their rooms to play after finishing. Han Xiangning, Yuzhen and Gao Xiaoqin turned on the TV and continued eating while watching the news about the disaster area.

Gao Xiaoqin ate a piece of fruit and whispered, "Sister Ningning, my dad just called and said that Dean Chen and Uncle Zhu are also going to Xichuan."

"I know. My dad and mom invited them."

"Dean Chen can be of great help, so what is Uncle Zhu going to do?" Yuzhen asked puzzled.

Han Xiangning sighed and said solemnly, "When a person dies, they should be restrained and die with dignity. At least they should be clean."

The death toll is counted on TV every day. Although it was painful to watch before, my first impression was that it was just a string of numbers. But when Gao Xiaoqin thought about what Lao Zhu would do after he rushed over, her heart suddenly became heavy and she no longer enjoyed anything she ate.

Yuzhen realized that this topic was too heavy, and quickly said, "I don't know what Xiaoyu is busy with. He didn't call me in the past two days."

"He may not have cell phone signal over there."

"They have satellite phones. I called Sister Zhang Lan and she said that the satellite phones of Binjiang Maritime Safety Administration, Binjiang Customs, Changhang Branch, Navigation Department and Fisheries Administration were all taken over by them."

Compared to the two of them, Han Xiangning was more informed and explained, "They did have a satellite phone, but the local earthquake relief headquarters needed it more than they did. Xianyu said they only kept one, and the others were given to the earthquake relief headquarters."

Yuzhen reacted, thought about it and asked again: "What's the situation over there now?"

"I only know that General Hao has returned to the team with three excavators, two loaders and more than 20 workers. Now the entire battalion is divided into more than a dozen teams, repairing roads in more than a dozen places."

"Where's the little fish?"

"Xiaoyu is with my parents and my dad. They are mainly responsible for digging and rescuing people."

"Poach?"

"Many houses collapsed, and those who failed to escape were buried in the rubble."

This topic was equally heavy. Gao Xiaoqin did not dare to continue the conversation and asked in a low voice: "Divided into more than a dozen teams, with construction in more than a dozen locations at the same time, can Minister Yang and General Manager Sun take care of it?"

Han Xiangning pretended to be relaxed and said, "The Linghai Reserve Battalion lacks everything except senior officers. Yang Jianbo has been appointing officials arbitrarily over the years. There are 22 deputy battalion commanders like your General Manager Zhang. Your General Manager Zhang manages such a large company very well, so what's the big deal about managing a construction team?"

“He’s not doing logistics anymore?”

"This time is different from the flood control in 98. More than a dozen teams are fighting independently in more than a dozen places, and the deputy battalion commander who leads the team has to take care of everything."

"What about Uncle Ge, Director Qin, and Manager Sun?"

"Xianyu said that Uncle Ge was busy spending money. The 'temporary base' of the Linghai Reserve Battalion has become a huge processing plant. More than a dozen emergency construction teams are building roads and bridges in the mountains and rivers. Uncle Ge is organizing local workers and volunteers with engineering and technical personnel in the rear to process the brackets and bridges needed for building roads and bridges for the front line. If there is steel, they will use it to process and make it. If there is no steel, they will use wood. Anyway, now we buy whatever we can and use whatever we have."

Han Xiangning took a deep breath and continued, "Director Qin joined the transportation group of the local earthquake relief headquarters, responsible for communication and coordination, and at the same time striving for various materials needed to repair the roads; Mr. Sun's job is the hardest and most dangerous. The climate in the mountainous area is harsh, and it always rains heavily. He has to risk his life and take the road and bridge engineers on a helicopter to conduct on-site surveys of collapsed or landslide sections of the road, and then formulate a repair plan."

"Where's your dad?"

"My dad originally planned to go and support the local meteorological department, but he found that the current weather forecast conditions are better than before, so he couldn't help even if he went there. So he went to the disaster area with my mom and Hanhan's grandparents to rescue people."

"Sister Ningning, your family is amazing. So many people went there."

"It's nothing. Xianyu said there are many volunteers like my parents. They came from all over the country, all on their own initiative. They were not well prepared. When they got there, they didn't even have food to eat or clean water to drink. They couldn't even buy it with money, but they didn't complain. They even used their bare hands to rescue people from the ruins without any professional tools."

"How much is a lot?"

"There are tens of thousands of them, and the number of salted fish is estimated to be at least hundreds of thousands."

"Hundreds of thousands of volunteers?"

"There are still many volunteers rushing to the disaster area from all directions!"

In the past, when major disasters occurred, all sides would come to support each other, but this was mainly organized by the Party committee and the government. This was the first time that the public had spontaneously provided rescue services.

Gao Xiaoqin was so moved that she was speechless.

Yuzhen's eyes were filled with tears and she quickly wiped them with a tissue.

Han Xiangning took a few deep breaths, calmed down and said, "Our unit organized a donation, and I donated one month's salary like Xianyu."

"I'll donate 100,000 yuan." Yuzhen said without hesitation.

In the past, the output value of Huimei Clothing was higher than that of Longgang Rice Industry, and Yuzhen made more money than Zhang Erxiao.

Now Zhang Erxiao is engaged in real estate and making money much faster than Yuzhen. Gao Xiaoqin is a genuine "rich woman". She was silent for a moment and whispered, "I will donate 200,000 yuan."

Han Xiangning was no longer surprised by their wealth and asked curiously, "Who are you donating to?"

"Of course, donate it to the Linghai Reserve Battalion."

“Donations to the Red Cross will come with a certificate.”

“What do I need a certificate for?”

"If you don't need a certificate, donate the money to the Logistics Support Command of the East China Sea Maritime Safety Administration. Xianyu is helping Uncle Ge and his team purchase much-needed supplies. Donating to the Logistics Support Command will put the money to good use."

"Row!"
