Rebirth in the end times: The whole family keeps a low profile
Chapter 70 Post-Disaster Reconstruction
Su Yun was not idle either. When he was free, he took the children to the ruins to look for things that could be exchanged for points. He brought back things that could be used at home. Today, he saw several door panels. Door panels are good things. They can be used as bed panels or door panels. Bricks are too heavy, so the children picked up scraps of copper and iron on the ground. After the natural disaster, these little guys went out too little, so they still need to get in touch with the outside world more.
Qiqi and Su Bowei were very excited, dragging their younger brothers and sisters to search for treasures in the ruins. They carried a cloth bag in their hands, just like they were playing a treasure hunt game. Su Yun and Zhang Lili did not dare to take the children too far, fearing accidents. Therefore, they only wandered around Lingyun Community, which was undoubtedly the most popular place for the scavenging team in the entire base. Occasionally, someone would find a valuable watch or a whole bag of food.
After the Feilong team cleaned up the ruins of the hospital, it was put back into use the next day. Director Li lived directly in the hospital. Later, Su Yun asked him to check Su Ma's leg again, and found that there was nothing serious. To express his gratitude, Su Yun gave him a bag of noodles as a consultation fee.
In this way, a month passed. The Flying Dragon Team had been doing the cleaning work inside the base, while Su Yun and the children found what they could do in the ruins. More and more women and children took the initiative to take shovels to tidy up the roads inside the base, turning the originally difficult path into a passable one.
The children gradually fell in love with this way of exercise and put on gloves every day to start working at the base. In just one month, they all got tanned and their bodies became stronger.
More and more half-built houses were cleared out. Although they were dangerous, they were not afraid of death. A small number of people left the awnings and moved into the cleared dangerous houses.
One dark and windy night, Sun Wukong rented another excavator to the base. Soon the parking lot was expanded several times. The base prepared to transfer all the victims here and then divide the area for building houses according to the number of people.
Su Ma: Isn’t this just giving away land per person, so that you can build your own house?
Father Su: Yeah. I have lived for decades and have never encountered such a thing. How much can our family of 11 people get?
Su Zhangming: If we get more land, we can build a villa.
Wang Jie frowned slightly, secretly thinking about the plan of building his own house.
He said: Although the base provided the land, it is not easy to build a house by yourself. You need to find materials, hire workers, and consider safety and planning. Fortunately, the building materials I stockpiled before are quite complete. It would be great if I could find someone who can build a house. By the way, I remember that my cousin was building a house on the construction site before the natural disaster, so he has some experience.
Su Yun and Su's father were also listening attentively. They thought that if they could build a house by themselves, it would be a brand new beginning. Su Zhangming even began to fantasize about building a villa full of luxury and comfort.
Wang Jie seemed more steady. After some thought, he said: Let's go and find out tomorrow and take a look at the plan of the base first, and then we will make a decision. Building a house is a major matter that requires careful consideration and cannot be done rashly.
The next day, when the Flying Dragon Team was working, they chatted with the instructor and learned that the base had to be re-planned. They did not have the spare capacity to build a shelter, so the land was divided up for the victims to arrange themselves. It was considered that they had a place to live, but they did not know how to arrange it specifically.
Su Yun brought two bags of salt and went to find Sister Peng to inquire about the situation. Sister Peng was in a cloth tent not far away. The whole family, young and old, found a lot of usable door panels from the ruins to surround the house, and the situation seemed to be better than other houses.
Sister Peng looked at the two bags of salt excitedly. The base is short of salt now, and the relief porridge at the base is very bland. She has no energy to work: "Sister, why are you so polite? We have a good relationship. Even if you don't take anything, I would still do it. I told you, my eldest son works in the post-disaster planning office, I know more than others. He said, this parking lot has been allocated to the victims, and each person can get about 2 square meters, but it is said that points can be exchanged for more land. The subsequent construction depends on the individual. No matter it is a thatched house or a brick house, you need to find materials yourself.
Su Yun: What about the materials recovered from the foundation over the past month?
Sister Peng: The base should have its uses, and it is unlikely that points can be exchanged for them, so if you can find bricks and wood now, try to keep them for your own use.
Su Yun was not worried about building materials. The building materials she stockpiled before the natural disaster were enough for her to build two villas.
Su Yun asked: Sister, if I have enough points, where is the best place to go?
Sister Peng: Of course, the closer to the army, the better. Those who are rich and powerful will probably build houses together. I will tell you the specific address when I have it. I guess I will be the one to handle it then, haha.
Su Yun: Thank you so much. If the base is still short of manpower, please let me know. I have some smart people at home.
Ms. Peng: Okay. Now we basically do internal recommendations and rarely recruit from outside. Next time there is a position that requires someone, I will tell you directly.
Su Yun: That’s it, I’ll wait for your news.
Sister Peng: By the way, you live in the RV over there, right? I saw it a long time ago. Your family lives the most comfortable life around here. When the land is divided, I want to live closer to you, sister.
She has been busy helping her family earn points recently, and occasionally seeing Su Yun's family getting in and out of the RV, she feels very envious.
Three days later, Sister Peng came to the Su family's RV. Mother Su invited her to sit in. Sister Peng walked into the RV, which looked shabby on the outside, with a stack of information in her hand. She didn't expect the inside of the RV to be so clean and tidy.
Su Yun took the children out, and Su Ma was the only one in the car. During the day, Xiao Jing followed Su Yun out, and Aunt Wang took Xiao Xingxing to the next door. Su Ma stayed in bed to recover from her injuries, occasionally reading her favorite books, drinking wolfberry tea from a thermos cup, and watching TV series downloaded on her phone. Su Ma became the most idle person in the family. Su Ma, who never really stopped, also enjoyed this time of recovery.
The door of the RV is usually closed, leaving only the skylight for ventilation. When Su Ma sees Aunt Peng coming, she can open the door with her hand. Aunt Peng sits on a clean soft leather seat. The interior of the RV is decorated in log style and looks very comfortable. With such an RV, she is willing to live in it for the rest of her life, so why would she need to build a house herself?
The two chatted in the car, and after a while Su Yun came back with his men, holding a bucket of water. Several wells in the base have resumed water supply, so Su Yun brought back a bucket of water for washing his hands.
Sister Peng: Sister, I came to see you because the plan has been finalized, and the sales will officially start tomorrow, so I came to see you first. Here is the plan this time. I will just consider it as working overtime, haha.
After saying that, he spread out the black folder on the small table.
Su Yun: Sister Peng is really thoughtful.
After washing his hands, Su Yun picked up an iron can from the locker, which contained some Drunkard Peanuts that were left over from the Flying Dragon Team last time. Nowadays, even if people have delicious food, they will save it and are reluctant to eat it all.
After opening the can, Sister Peng was embarrassed to eat it at first, but then she symbolically took a few pieces and chewed them.
Sister Peng: Look, this is the base map. The air raid shelter is at the northernmost part. The training camp is next to it, and the parking lot is next to it. The east and south areas have collapsed, and will be turned into factories and parking lots. After the houses on the west side collapsed, all the land will be sold, 100 points for one square meter. Some of them have been selected, I'll show you.
This is Chief Li's, about 80 square meters, this is Director Li's of the hospital, she lives alone in 40 square meters, this is the Jiang family, the richest man in our base, about 160 square meters.........
Su Yun looked at the fifty circles above and said: Does that mean so much has been pushed out before the market even opens?
Sister Peng: Who said it wasn’t? My family of five is planning to live in a 5-square-meter house, but we haven’t chosen a location yet. Sister, please take a look at some suitable places. It wouldn’t be bad for us to live next door to each other.
Sister Peng looked at Su Yun's expression and couldn't help laughing. She knew what Su Yun was thinking about. Su Yun was a smart person. She would not make a decision easily, but needed to carefully weigh the pros and cons.
The two of them studied the information together in the booth. Su Yun read the document attentively. She saw that this area was planned as a medium-sized residential area. Su Yun couldn't help but rejoice secretly, which meant that she had a great chance of obtaining a satisfactory residential plot.
The two studied the map carefully again. The West District was divided into five 5-meter-wide building zones. Houses could be built within the building zones, and there was a road outside the building zones. The bosses basically chose areas close to the North District military camp, as they felt they would feel safer.
Su Yun looked for a while and found that the open space next to Director Li seemed quite spacious. There was an open space of 20 meters by 10 meters. Opposite was the home of Jiang Fuhao who had just moved to the base. While Su Yun was hesitating, the members of the Flying Dragon Team also came back.
Everyone discussed it together and decided that this location was good. It was relatively close to the military camp, with few idle people, and Director Li was next to him, so it was very convenient to consult him whenever he had any headaches or fever. Of the 200 square meters of open space, Su Yun decided to occupy 100 square meters, and the remaining grandfather took 40 square meters, Lan's father took 30 square meters, Xiao Jing took 30 square meters, the eldest cousin took 20 square meters, and the youngest cousin, who was single, took 10 square meters.
Since there was not enough space, they decided to live behind Director Li's house. People lived in the same area as each other, and Sister Peng also liked the hustle and bustle and was very satisfied with this area. She thought that when she returned, she would let her son live nearby.
Everyone else was fine. They went up the mountain during the hottest time and got a lot of mountain products, which they exchanged for several thousand points. In addition to the several hundred points they earned during this period, they could just buy a piece of land to get by. Xiaojing and her cousin had just arrived and were penniless. They also worked together during this period and each of them earned more than 300 points. In addition to the scrap copper and iron they sold, each of them could get 200 points.
It was far from enough to buy the land. 10 square meters required 1000 points. Su Yun suggested that they borrow from him and make up the difference when they earned points.
Several people quickly wrote IOUs, and finally Su Yun used his points to lock in this area. Xiao Jing and his cousin would pay for it first and then pay it back slowly.
After the area was circled, everyone was a little excited and wanted to go over and check it out immediately. Su Yun also felt a little relieved and was very grateful for the unconditional trust of the Flying Dragon Team in her. Whether it was the location of the residence or the future of the Flying Dragon Team, the Flying Dragon Team followed without regrets. Even though it was because the Su family, as the backbone, could lead them to a better life, there was no ungrateful person after all.
The next day, the temporary service hall at the base was full of people. Those who did not have points were allocated the lowest standard of 2 square meters per person, and those who needed to purchase land lined up to choose a location.
The Flying Dragon Team was assigned to draw lines in the residential area of the base today, and marked the areas on the roads and residential areas with lime powder according to the latest planning map of the base.
The information board at the base was crowded with people, all of whom were discussing enthusiastically and exchanging their ideas and opinions. Some were concerned about the water source and hoped to live near a well; some were considering living with their teammates to facilitate collaboration; and some were thinking about how to decorate their own houses to create a comfortable and warm home.
The service hall of the base was as busy as a vegetable market. Those who had bought space immediately moved their things there. Su Yun also took his father and the others to the west district on foot to survey the terrain.
When I got there, I realized that it was no wonder that no one had chosen this location, even though it was so good. It turned out that there were a few more large rocks as tall as a person here than in other places. It seemed that it would be difficult to move them with manpower, but for Su Yun, it was a simple matter. He could just tighten the space at night when no one came.
After moving the big rock, I looked at this place again and was satisfied no matter how I looked at it.
In the evening, Wang Jie came back and opened the long-lost drawing software on his laptop. He wanted to design the house himself.
Although he doesn’t know how long he can live in this house or when the next natural disaster will come, Wang Jie is very passionate about the conception and layout of the new house.
He sat at the table, staring at the computer screen intently, and the mouse in his hand moved quickly on the software. During the design process, Wang Jie kept thinking and trying, constantly adjusting and optimizing. Finally, after spending half a day to complete the first draft design, he looked at the work in front of him with satisfaction and called Su Yun to discuss it together.
Su Zhangming and Zhang Lili had just wiped their bodies, changed into pajamas and came over to discuss.
The space for development in 100 square meters is indeed limited. Considering the current construction capacity and cost, the house is made 6 meters high and a duplex, which saves more space. Five bedrooms and a multi-functional living room are designed.
Su Zhangming and Zhang Lili stayed in one room, Su Yun and his friends stayed in one room, Su Xiaogu and little cousin stayed in one room, Su's mother and father stayed in one room, and the remaining three boys stayed in one room.
The two rooms on the second floor are mainly used by the couple Su Yun and Zhang Lili. There are three bedrooms on the first floor, and the remaining space is a living and dining room, plus a kitchen and bathroom.
In fact, the Su family could have bought more land, but they were worried that it would be too ostentatious. They chose a smaller house than the one owned by the wealthy Jiang across the street so as not to arouse jealousy.
