Chapter 414 Rebuilding Home
Chapter 414 Rebuilding Home
At the same time, Secretary Xu Gang, who heard the situation here, ran over quickly with his men. As soon as he arrived outside the shelter, he heard Ruanruan's words. He stopped his hurried steps and wanted to see what else the girl would say.
Before the people could figure out these questions, Ruanruan continued, "This is your home. After the disaster, you should not feel sorry for yourself. You should use your own abilities to protect your home instead of waiting here all the time, because you will not get any results."
Hearing Ruanruan's words shattered their thoughts. Yes, they were waiting, waiting for the country and the leaders to give them an explanation. In this earthquake, they had nothing. They needed hope, a hope that could cheer them up.
"But what else can we do now except wait?" A young man clenched his fists, stood up and asked Ruanruan with an unconvinced look on his face.
"You are all the most useless now. Do you see them?" Ruanruan said, pulling Bosrui who was standing behind her and said to them, "When they received the news that an earthquake was about to happen here, they came all the way to you just to save your lives. Originally, their work has been completed, but now the materials escorted from all over the country are stuck outside and can't get in. They started to clear the obstacles on the road, but they only have these few people. By the time they finish, our food here may have been eaten up. Do you all want to wait here and starve?"
One of them reacted and continued to attack. They were very happy when they heard that someone was sending them supplies. However, when they heard that the other party could not get in at all and they would starve in two days, they didn't accept it.
"Let's go together and clean up together." Just now, everyone thought Ruanruan's words were unpleasant, but now they all stood up.
"Yes, let's go together. Let's go together."
"Yes, there is strength in numbers. Maybe we can clean up the railway today."
With one person taking the lead, everyone else followed and walked out.
"The doctor is right. Tang City is our home. We have to rebuild our home ourselves."
The group of people who were calling for "Rebuild Our Home" walked past Bosrui and headed straight into the city, shouting slogans.
Looking at the backs of the villagers walking away, Bosrui and the others had to admit, "You are really capable."
When he thought about how he had just been standing there talking like a clown and no one paid any attention to him, Bosrui shook his head.
"This is the art of speaking, learn it!" After saying that, Ruanruan threw the loudspeaker in her hand back into his arms and slowly walked back to continue eating.
After watching Ruanruan return to the infirmary, they turned around and were about to follow her when they saw Secretary Xu standing outside the wall. After the two parties nodded and greeted each other, Bosrui quickly followed.
"Secretary, what should we do?" The secretary was just telling them to pay attention to the emotions of the masses, but now they have stirred up the emotions of the masses with just two sentences, which makes them seem useless.
"What should we do? Didn't we hear what they said? Rebuild our homes." After saying that, the secretary ignored them and walked back.
The subsequent work progressed smoothly.
Huo Haocheng, who was leading people to carry out relatively large cement bricks at this time, was shocked when he saw the huge crowd walking towards them.
A minute later, when they came closer, Huo Haocheng could hear clearly what they were shouting.
"Rebuilding homes?" So they came to help.
Ten minutes later, Huo Haocheng looked at the busy crowd. Teams of three or two cleaned up the waste on the street in a short time. He was sure that they were here to help.
Not only here, but also professionals from the railway and highway sides came to help.
The young and strong ones helped to lift the big objects, the older ones stood in a row and used conveyor belts to transport the broken bricks and cement blocks. The ladies helped to clear the branches on the roadside, and the smarter ones even made brooms out of branches to sweep up the dirt and glass fragments on the ground.
In just one day, half of the obstacles on the railways and roads were cleared, and the main roads in the city were also cleared.
Everyone came back when it was dark. Just like last night, after dinner, all the doctors in the shelter set up the treatment tables and asked them to line up one by one after finishing their meals to have their wounds cleaned.
Because they were tired after a whole day, everyone simply washed up after applying the medicine, returned to their sleeping places and fell asleep.
Huo Haocheng and the others who were sitting not far behind Ruanruan and the others were eating slowly while listening to Bo Sirui and Ruan Shaolin telling them what Ruanruan said this morning as if they were performing a crosstalk.
But at the end, Ruan Shaolin slapped Bo Sirui on the back and said in a very proud tone, "This is the art of speaking, you should learn from it."
"....Hahahaha" The others burst into laughter at Ruan Shaolin's action and tone.
Only Huo Haocheng turned around and looked at the back of his wife as she worked diligently.
He had always known that she defended the dignity of soldiers and valued their lives, but today, she did what they all wanted to do and mobilized the masses, which should be what the mayor, secretary, or military commander should do.
After the disaster, the people who bring hope to the masses should be the leaders of this city. It is not time for a little girl like her to do these things.
Thinking of this, Huo Haocheng looked around. He wanted to see where the mayor, the commander and the others were and what they were doing.
"Hey, Huo Haocheng, what are you looking at?" After joking, a few people talked about today's progress. They were very happy when they knew that the railway and highway should be cleared tomorrow. However, after talking about the situation in the city, they saw Huo Haocheng looking around all the time. They called him twice but there was no response from him.
Gu Jinghe, who was sitting next to him, imitated the way Ruan Shaolin slapped Bo Sirui just now and slapped Huo Haocheng on the back.
Huo Haocheng came back to his senses and saw that they were all looking at him in confusion, so he asked, "Did you see the mayor and the commander today?"
Several people asked in confusion, "Aren't you the one who usually deals with them?"
"No, I didn't see them today from the time I left in the morning until I came back in the evening."
“Yeah, me too.”
"We saw Secretary Xu this morning, right after Ruanruan finished speaking. He must have heard what Ruanruan said. What happened?" Bosrui didn't know much about politics and seldom dealt with people in the government, so when Huo Haocheng suddenly asked this, he didn't understand for a moment.
No one understood why Huo Haocheng would specifically look for the mayor and the commander when they were having a good chat.
"Do you think that what Ruanruan did today was something that the mayor or the commander should have done, but Ruanruan got there first?" Deng Yi thought about what his grandfather had said to him, then looked at Huo Haocheng's actions and asked uncertainly.
"It's not that they got there first, but this is what they should have done. However, two days and two nights have passed since the earthquake. You saw them that night. Besides Bosrui and the others who saw Secretary Xu, I think he also showed up today because he heard the noise. What about the others? Did you see them?"
After hearing what Huo Haocheng said, yes, they haven’t seen much of the government leaders in the past two days!
