Rebirth of science and technology to rejuvenate the country

From this day on, more and more people entered the disaster area on foot for rescue, and the fire brigade, armed police officers and soldiers, and medical rescue teams also came one after another.

The more people came, the more supplies they brought in.However, since the road was blocked, it could only be carried by people on their backs, so what they could bring was limited.

The rescue team and the victims had a very hard time. The tents were limited and could only be used by the injured, the elderly and children. The rest of the people could only rest in the open air, and they had to endure at least one heavy rain every day. How difficult it was. One can imagine.

It is even difficult to eat and drink. People in the Yingxiu area, who were less affected by the disaster, would take out rice from home to make porridge for everyone to drink, relying on this thin rice porridge to survive.

In fact, this is all tolerable. What is unbearable is that as time goes by, the lives of those survivors are also passing away little by little.Sometimes, even you know that they are waiting for you to rescue them under the ruins, and the rescuers are too late.

Rescue can only rely on manpower, even if there is an excavator in the town, I dare not use it, because it will cause a secondary collapse, and the people buried below will be directly injured again.It would be great if there was a crane, but unfortunately the road is blocked and I can't get in.

Although he had already made psychological preparations, Yuan Xia found that his endurance was not as strong as he imagined, and his colleagues were so uncomfortable that they shed tears every day.

Even though it was so unbearable for outsiders like them, almost none of the locals had lost their relatives. According to preliminary estimates, the earthquake killed three quarters of Yingxiu's population.There is only one survivor out of every four people. This kind of pain may not heal in a lifetime.

The more this happened, the more Yuan Xia blamed himself, he could have done better.

The longer you stay, the fewer survivors.Later, what Yuanxia could do was to drive the town's excavator with his colleagues, dig the ruins, find the remains of the victims, dig graves for the victims, and help bury the remains.

He really didn't think about it at all, there is another use for construction machinery.He hopes to help the people in Yingxiu bury their pain and the past, get out of the gloom as soon as possible, and move towards a hopeful tomorrow.

Yu Xingyi arrived in Yingxiu on the 18th, and the road hadn't been repaired yet. He came in on foot with the rescue team delivering supplies, but the engineering team supported by Xingyuan has been rushing to repair and clear the road day and night.

Since the afternoon of the 12th, Yu Xingyi has lost contact with Yuan Xia, because the signal in the disaster area was interrupted, and only the emergency telephone line that the telecommunications company provided for the government can be used. Yuan Xia must not cause trouble for the government, so he has never contacted outside .

Yuan Xia was taken aback when he saw Yu Xingyi: "Why are you here too? Don't you want to go to class?"

As soon as Yu Xing saw him, his eyes turned red: "I asked for a few days off. Such a big disaster happened here, and I also want to help. Why are you so thin?"

Yuan Xia is covered in dirt, the color of his clothes can no longer be discerned, his beard is unshaven, and he doesn't look suave at all, but he is so cute.

Yuan Xia smiled wryly: "At the beginning, there was a lack of supplies, and there was very little food. In the past two days, there have been many kinds of assistance, and I can finally have enough food. Don't touch me, I stink, and I didn't wash it after I came here. I have bathed and washed my face. I have to help bury the body every day." When he said this, his voice was very soft.

Yu Xingyi said softly, "Thank you for your hard work."

Yuan Xia's eyes were also red: "It's nothing for me to work hard, I can help too little. The local people are really miserable." The key is that he should have helped, but in the end he didn't.

Yu Xingyi asked, "Can I do something for you?"

Yuan Xia said: "Go to the medical team to help. Now the search and rescue is done by the professional team. It has been six days, and the survivors are very slim." Speaking of this, he sighed heavily.

Yu Xingyi said: "Okay. Don't be too sad, you have tried your best."

Yuan Xia nodded: "Yeah." He said this to comfort Yu Xingyi, he knew he didn't try his best.

Yuan Xia and Yu Xingyi left on the 21st. At this time, nine days had passed since the earthquake, and civilian volunteers also left one after another, leaving the staff arranged by the government department to deal with the aftermath.

The road was still impassable, Yuan Xia and Yu Xingyi went out on foot, and when they walked out of the mountain, they all turned into clay figurines, especially Yuan Xia, who had to clean up for an hour when they arrived at the hotel.

After washing, I went to bed and slept for 24 hours without eating or drinking.

Yu Xingyi stayed by his side, seeing that he was so thin that he was out of shape, not to mention how uncomfortable it was, and the psychological trauma brought to him by the earthquake might not heal for a while, even if he fell asleep, his brows would still be tight. Wrinkled.

The young people in the Chengdu office are all good, and some of them may need psychological counseling.

When Yuan Xia woke up from a full sleep, Yu Xing saw that he was finally alive, so he leaned over and kissed him on the lips: "Are you hungry? Get up and eat."

Yuan Xia let out a "hmm", and when he got up, he almost didn't sit up, and there was a roar in his stomach.

Yu Xingyi handed him a cup of yogurt: "Hurry up and drink some."

Yuan Xia didn't wait to brush her teeth, she quickly drank this cup of untasteful yogurt, so her stomach stopped screaming: "How long have I been asleep?"

"24 hours."

"so long!"

"It's been a long time since you slept well. You need to take good care of it after you get home, and you don't have to do anything else, but I will watch you when you eat and sleep, and take the amount on time." Yu Xingyi said.

Yuan Xia chuckled: "Okay. Listen to you." He got off the bed and walked into the bathroom.

Yu Xingyi followed behind him and said, "Take a look in the mirror and see how thin you are?"

Yuan Xia looked at her sunken cheeks and said, "It's a bit out of shape. It needs to be repaired."

Yu Xing asked, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

Yuan Xia said: "Anything is fine, I'm starving to death. Hot pot, I want to eat a lot of meat."

The two of them went to eat hot pot together, and they ordered mandarin duck pot. Yu Xing and Yuan Xia strictly forbade to eat spicy pot, and only allowed him to eat light ones. He was too hungry during this period, and his stomach could not bear too much stimulation.

Yuan Xia didn't refute it either, being able to eat hot food is already a very lucky thing in the world: "We can eat hot food, but many people in the disaster area are still eating dry food, and they don't even have enough to eat." Speaking of this, his eye sockets became a little hot again.

Yu Xingyi scalded the mutton for him, took it into a bowl, and said: "Everyone is working hard to help them. Our company and colleagues are helping to clear the road. When the road is repaired, there will be everything you want to eat. People all over the country When donating money and materials, overseas Chinese are also donating money. It is true that one side is in trouble and all sides are supporting. The Chinese people have unprecedented unity and bravery in the face of disasters."

Yuan Xia nodded: "When the disaster rebuilds, I will donate schools to Wenchuan and Beichuan. This is what I owe them."

Yu Xing raised his eyes and looked at him: "Why do you say that?"

Yuan Xia raised his head: "Our bursary fund originally had a project to donate schools. Xinjiang has built a lot of them. I was negligent and didn't donate to children in western Sichuan. If schools were built earlier, there would definitely not be so many. The child died."

Yu Xingyi said: "I can't blame you, who knew such a serious earthquake would happen?"

Yuan Xia lowered his eyes, his throat was painfully swollen, he knew it, but he was negligent.

As soon as Yu Xing saw this, he quickly said: "Okay, don't think so much, let's eat." He boiled goose intestines for Yuan Xia again.

Yuan Xia ate it silently.

After dinner, Yuan Xia went to meet the employees who went to Yingxiu with him, and expressed his gratitude and awards to them, and his salary was doubled this month.

The colleagues in the Chengdu office were very surprised. Zuo Yan waved his hand and refused: "No, no, Mr. Yuan, how can this work? We are from Sichuan, and we are helping our fellow villagers. Mr. Yuan has helped us in Sichuan so selflessly. It's too late for us to be grateful, how can we ask you to pay us more wages."

Yuan Xia said: "During this period of time, you have endured hardships with me, and you deserve it. The company's batch of samples were taken to rush to repair roads, and when the time comes back, they are all old, and you still use them as second-hand ones. Let’s sell it.” This is an old tradition of the company.

Zuo Yan said very seriously: "Mr. Yuan, we have no objection to the second-hand disposal of the machine. But I will never ask for this salary!"

"Neither do I!"

"Neither do I!"

"..."

Yuan Xia had no choice but to say: "Then you can donate it to the disaster area. Mr. Yu said, if you need psychological counseling, report it to the company, and the company will reimburse you for seeing a psychiatrist."

These employees looked at each other in blank dismay, there is such a thing?The two bosses are too kind!

Zuo Yan shook his head: "I don't need it."

"I shouldn't need to."

"I don't need either."

Yu Xing smiled and said, "It would be great if you don't need it, but it's better for you to confirm it yourself."

Yuan Xia said: "It doesn't matter if you need it in the future, the company will still reimburse you."

Leaving Tao Yang here to deal with the follow-up situation, they flew back to Yuecheng.

Tao Yang's main tasks this time were to transport relief supplies, find engineering vehicles, and clean up roads. He didn't go to the first-line disaster areas, so the earthquake's psychological impact on him should not be too great.

Xingyuan donated a total of about 500 million yuan in materials and money for the earthquake this time, and will donate several schools in the future, plus the loss of those engineering equipment, it is already a considerable amount.

But Yuan Xia doesn't feel bad, he has always felt that it is not a pity to donate money and goods because of urgent needs, as long as he can afford it.
