Wearing eighty books, the little widow turns into a rich woman

Chapter 415 Chapter 416 Natural Disasters 2
Captain Zhou breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, okay, I said the government won't leave us alone." He patted his grandson happily again, "Dashu goes back to wash and eat something."

Zhou Dashu said to everyone: "Fortunately, we were roasting mushrooms in the baking room. The landslide in the brigade below caused a landslide in several families and some people were buried below before they could escape in time."

After hearing this, everyone was very happy. Although the things were gone, the whole family was still there.

After another day of torment, the rain finally stopped, and the team leader organized everyone to dig ginger taro and wild vegetables.

Someone proposed to dig up the buried materials, but was stopped by the team leader: "Just after the rain stopped, the soil and sand washed down were still very soft. A slight movement may cause a second collapse. Life is gone. Bring something What are you doing?"

A man said with a bitter face: "Captain, our quilts, change of clothes, pots and pans, and agricultural tools are all buried below. There is no money in my pocket, so what can I use to buy things?"

Captain Zhou looked at him: "Then you choose, life or things are more important?" Seeing that everyone was silent, he waved his hand and said, "It's better to break up than to be buried below."

Everyone followed him sleepily to find something to eat.

On the third day after Zhou Dashu and others came back, only two commune cadres led a team of about ten people and led mules to bring some grain, oil and salt.

The group looked at and took photos of their washed-out homes and fields.

The two cadres and the commune members who brought the food saw the disaster caused by the mudslide and were very glad that no casualties were caused. They told them that they only delivered food to the disaster-stricken brigade in front of them yesterday.

It was worse than them over there. There was a family with only one ten-year-old child left, but because of his love of playing, he went out to fish and escaped unharmed.

In the face of disaster, people are like ants.

One of them said to Captain Zhou: "We have already reported to the superiors. After we come to check on the spot, we will report the situation and try our best to help you get some help."

"Okay, we don't want to cause trouble for the government, but there's nothing we can do now. Everyone doesn't even have a place to live, no change of clothes, no bedding..."

One person frowned and looked at him and said, "We have already reported to the superiors, and you should also call on everyone to show their hard-working spirit. Put some in the brigade room, and arrange for others to huddle in the members' homes."

Captain Zhou could only nod his head after hearing this. With these rice noodles, oil and salt, everyone can dig some wild vegetables, and they can cook for a while with ginger and taro.

The group left without even eating.It's actually delicious.

Captain Zhou's grandfather and grandson sent them away.

On Wednesday, when my aunt saw the captain leave, she thought that her house was going downhill and was not completely submerged by rocks.I didn't listen to everyone's dissuasion, took a hoe and went down the mountain, trying to dig something out.

Unexpectedly, just after digging a few hoes, the soft soil rumbled and collapsed. Aunt Wednesday was so frightened that her legs became weak and she was almost buried under it.

Everyone hurriedly dragged Aunt Wednesday, who was so frightened and limp, to the mountain. Seeing her distressed appearance, they originally planned to dig things out, but they didn't dare to dig things buried below.

After Captain Zhou came back and found out about this, he felt that it was not an option to go on for a long time, so he called everyone together and said to everyone:

"I distribute the rice grains to everyone. Those with relatives and friends can borrow them for a period of time. Those who have nowhere to go will cut down trees and build tents on the flat ground in front of the drying yard."

After the members heard this, they all looked at the captain with a sad face: "Captain, they are all poor relatives, and it is not suitable to go to anyone's house. There is not enough food in every family, how can you bother him?"

A woman nodded: "That's right, if you go back to your mother's house and stay for a few more days, you have to look at the face of your brother and sister-in-law. I don't have such a thick skin when I go to a relative's house."

"Captain, it's just a little food. Everyone digs wild vegetables, ginger taro, and yam to eat together. You can still eat it for a while. If you share it, going to relatives' house is not a long-term solution."

A man who sent pumpkins out of the mountain with Zhou Shitou said: "Captain, my family will stay and build a shed to live in! I think we should take advantage of the abundance of mushrooms and the emergence of peppercorns, so we should all pick peppercorns, look for mushrooms, and get them. Come back and dry it, take it out and sell it for money, and come back with some clothes and shoes.”

After hearing this, Captain Zhou felt that this was also a solution: "Stone, you send the mushrooms we collected to your cousin, and ask her to buy some cloth and cotton for us."

Zhou Shitou looked at him in embarrassment: "Grandpa, my family's mule was also buried below, so I can't carry things out!"

Captain Zhou said, "Take my mule and I'll let Dashu go with you."

"Okay." Zhou Shitou nodded in response.

"I'll go back and get the mule." Team Captain Zhou looked at everyone, "The strong man will chop wood and bamboo to build a shed. The rest will pick peppers and mushrooms with their household items. This year's food depends on this season's mountain products. "

"Okay." With the goal, everyone's spirit has improved a lot.

Wu Shuqun said to Zhou Shitou: "You send your wife and a few children out, and go to Shilian first to see if your uncle and cousin are still there?"

Zhou Shitou said: "Yes! Hongju and the children can only live with the second brother for a while."

Wu Shuqun reminded: "Hongju, you went to Shisong, work hard and learn." She thought it was impossible, so she followed the example of the second child's family, found a place to live in Dongshi, and started a small business.

Xu Hongju nodded repeatedly, she was a little excited to go to live in Dongshi, she thought about it and asked: "Mom, did Xiaofeng's family suffer a disaster?" She was worried that Li Xiaofeng's parents would also go to Dongshi, and they would not be able to live there .

Wu Shuqun shook his head: "Dashu said no."

Zhou Dashan said to her: "Old woman, why don't you go to Dongshi with Hongju mother and son, and Shitou and I are here, waiting for the relief."

Xu Hongju also nodded: "Yes, Mom, I haven't gotten along with Xiaofeng very much, so it's better for us to have you together."

"Okay!" Wu Shuqun thought for a moment and nodded in response.

Captain Zhou led two mules and fodder to the baking room, and when he learned that Wu Shuqun was going to take his wife and children with him, he happily agreed.

There are five fewer people, and some food can be saved.

He brought rice noodles to Wu Shuqun's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and asked them to fry some pancakes to eat on the way. He also gave Dashu ten yuan and a few food stamps.

Wu Shuqun's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law finished frying pancakes, and the team leader also packed the mushrooms and put them on the rack, and covered them with oilcloth in fear of rain.

After eating, several people carried bamboo tubes and baskets, and drove their mules up the mountain.

Some parts of the originally rugged mountain road were washed away by the water, leaving a narrow mountain road, stepping on it with a little force, and stones and mud fell to the bottom of the cliff.

A few people looked at the cliff below in fear, and the two mules did not dare to walk along the narrow mountain path.

Zhou Shitou and Zhou Dashu used machetes to chop the nearby bushes to create a path, and they walked in the mountain with difficulty.
