Siheyuan: I just want to live

Sure enough, just two days later, Hou Debang led a long and huge convoy and slowly drove towards the slightly old gate of the farm.

At this moment, Chen Feng, who was busy working in the earthquake shelter built with simple materials, was suddenly interrupted by the hurried footsteps of the guard at the door.

The guard reported to Chen Feng with a serious face: "Director, Minister Hou is here again, and he brought a lot of trucks!"

Hearing this, Chen Feng's heart moved, and he instantly guessed the purpose of Hou Debang's visit.

After that, Chen Feng thought for a moment, and then said to the guard who came to report the situation: "Well, I already know."

"How about this, you go and find our accountant right away, and have him meet me directly at the farm gate. Remember, move quickly!"

After hearing Chen Feng's order, the guard nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, Director! I understand what you mean. I will complete the task! I will go find Accountant Guan right away!"

Chen Feng sat behind the makeshift desk, nodded slightly, and reminded again: "Okay! Then go quickly! Time is tight, don't delay things!"

After getting Chen Feng's permission, the guard naturally did not dare to be negligent and quickly responded: "Goodbye, Director! Don't worry, I will find Accountant Guan as quickly as possible and bring him to the gate!"

Before he finished speaking, he disappeared from Chen Feng's sight like a gust of wind, leaving only the sound of hurried footsteps echoing in the air.

After the guards walked away and disappeared, Chen Feng began to sort out the documents scattered on the shabby and simple desk.

He first stacked the documents neatly according to different categories, and then carefully checked whether there were any omissions or errors in placement.

After confirming that everything was correct, Chen Feng slowly stood up, carefully walked around the slightly crowded desk in front of him, and then hurried out the door.

After a while, Chen Feng had left the small earthquake shelter and was moving quickly towards the farm gate.

However, when there was still some distance from the farm gate, Chen Feng suddenly found a familiar figure standing not far ahead - it turned out to be Hou Debang who had been waiting here for a long time.

From a distance, one can clearly see a black briefcase tightly tucked under Hou Debang's armpit.

At this moment, he was puffing smoke leisurely, and the cigarette in his hand flickered with a faint light from time to time.

At the same time, he seemed to be chatting with the security guard on duty at the farm gate. Although Chen Feng couldn't hear clearly, he knew that they were having a good time by looking at the two of them chatting and laughing.

When Chen Feng saw this scene, he quickly quickened his pace and trotted towards the direction where Hou Debang was.

While running, Chen Feng shouted at the top of his voice:

"Oh! Brother Hou! Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming? If I had known you were coming, I would have been waiting for you at the gate!"

At this moment, Hou Debang, who was having a lively conversation with the security guard on duty at the farm gate, suddenly heard the shouting coming from behind him and immediately turned his head quickly as if it was a conditioned reflex.

When he looked closely and found that the person coming was Chen Feng, a bright smile immediately appeared on his face.

Immediately afterwards, Hou Debang left the guard who had been chatting and laughing with him just now without hesitation, raised his foot, and strode towards Chen Feng quickly.

As the two gradually approached each other, Chen Feng and Hou Debang simultaneously extended their hands, as if they had telepathy. Their palms were tightly clasped, conveying warmth and friendliness.

At this moment, Hou Debang spoke to Chen Feng happily with a friendly smile on his face.

"Brother Chen, I'm so sorry! I came here in a hurry and was so anxious that I didn't even have time to call you in advance to let you know."

"If there is anything that offends me or makes me feel uncomfortable, please be more tolerant and understanding!"

Hearing Hou Debang's sincere words, Chen Feng quickly smiled and responded: "Oh! Brother, look at what you said!"

"I'm so happy that you came all the way to my little farm! How could I have any other thoughts? Besides, there's no need for us to be so formal with each other!"

Then, Chen Feng asked curiously: "But, brother, you came to me today, I think you have something important to tell me? And judging from the scene, it seems to be quite a big deal!"

As he spoke, Chen Feng raised his chin towards the long convoy of cars parked outside the farm gate, blinked mischievously, and pursed his lips to let Hou Debang know what he was referring to.

After receiving Chen Feng's signal, Hou Debang's expression instantly became extremely solemn and serious. He slowly released the hand that had been tightly holding Chen Feng.

Then, he gently and quickly took out a document from the briefcase tightly tucked under his armpit, and handed it steadily to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng noticed the document handed over by Hou Debang with sharp eyes. Without any hesitation, he immediately reached out to take it and held it tightly in his hand.

Then he lowered his head and began to read the document carefully.

This is not an ordinary document! Chen Feng soon discovered that it was an important document about selling grain.

As Chen Feng read the entire document carefully, line by line, word by word, a thought flashed through his mind like lightning.

The steel plant must have received the relevant information by now. It not only knew the location of the epicenter of the earthquake clearly, but also had an accurate understanding of the magnitude and severity of the disaster in the epicenter area.

Obviously, they are preparing to collect food and go to the disaster area to provide assistance and support!

However, although Chen Feng had the memories of his previous life and knew where the earthquake occurred and what the consequences of the disaster were, the specific details were not clearly stated in the document, and Chen Feng was not in a position to say it directly.

Therefore, Chen Feng couldn't help but raise his head and asked Hou Debang in a slightly cautious tone: "Brother Hou, it seems that the senior management of our steel plant has already grasped the exact information of this earthquake?"

"Can you tell me what exactly this earthquake is like? For example, where did it happen? And how big is the magnitude? How serious is the damage at the epicenter?"

After asking these questions, Chen Feng suddenly realized that he seemed to have asked too many questions, and a trace of regret arose in his heart.

Chen Feng hesitated for a moment before he said a little embarrassedly: "Oh, Brother Hou, I'm so sorry!"

"I may have asked too many questions at once. If these questions involve any confidential information, just pretend that I never asked them."

As Hou Debang listened to Chen Feng's slightly apologetic words, a barely perceptible smile slowly appeared on his originally serious face.

He just waved his hand gently, and then responded: "Brother Chen, what you said is really polite! What you asked is not confidential at all."

Hou Debang paused for a moment and continued, "Actually, even if you don't ask, I'm going to tell you about these things in detail later. Since you've brought it up now, I'll tell you in advance!"

When he said this, Hou Debang was silent for a moment, as if he was carefully organizing his words and considering his choice of words in his mind.

After a while, Hou Debang spoke again with a solemn expression and a heavy tone: "Our steel plant received a notice from the higher authorities this morning."

"According to the report, the epicenter of the earthquake was located in Tangshan City, Jidong District, Hebei Province, and the magnitude of the earthquake was as high as 7.8!"

"What's worse is that this sudden and strong earthquake happened at around 3 a.m. At that time, most people were still immersed in sweet dreams. It can be said that when the earthquake occurred, the people were completely unprepared."

"In addition, Tangshan itself is a densely populated heavy industrial city, so the disaster it is facing can be said to be quite serious. The entire city is destroyed!"

"Because of this, the senior executives of the steel plant immediately held a meeting under the personal leadership of the secretary and the factory director."

"After a heated discussion, a major decision was finally made in this crucial meeting."

"That is, our steel mill must not hesitate and race against time to quickly organize manpower, food and supplies, and rush to the disaster area to carry out intensive and orderly rescue work."

"It is because of this decision that I came to this farm to sell grain at this moment."

After hearing Hou Debang's words, Chen Feng, who had been listening quietly, nodded slowly as if waking up from a dream, indicating that he had completely understood the cause and effect of the matter.

However, in reality, even if Hou Debang did not say these words, Chen Feng, who traveled from the future, already knew it clearly in his mind.

After all, the huge destructive power and heavy casualties caused by this terrible earthquake are truly shocking and unforgettable.

The cold and cruel number of more than 400,000 deaths and serious injuries alone is enough to explain everything.

It not only represents the unspeakable pain and suffering that the city of Tangshan has experienced, but has also become a deep scar that can never be erased in the hearts of all Chinese people and an unforgettable historical memory.

Whenever it is mentioned, everyone will feel a heart-wrenching pain, and the sadness and heaviness will linger in the heart for a long time and will never go away.
