Great changes in the countryside

Chapter 407 Interview
Chen Yang nodded, "We can confirm this, there is no death or serious injury."

Chen Yang told reporters that most of them have recovered now.

The hostess said that Typhoon No. [-] this time hit Wenlin County head-on, with winds as high as force [-] when it landed, causing serious loss of life and property to Wenlin County.

The hostess asked: "Director Chen, how is the situation of the villagers now?"

Chen Yangdao: "All have been properly resettled. About a quarter of the families in our village have built new houses in recent years, and these new houses have withstood the test of the typhoon. Although all the old houses were submerged, the new houses The first floor was completely flooded, but the second floor of the new house was not flooded."

"You mean, now the villagers are housed on the second floor of the new house?"

"Yes, almost all the doors and windows on the second floor of the new houses in the village were destroyed, but they have been basically repaired now. There are 830 new houses in the village, and there are [-] villagers in our village. Four and a half people live temporarily, so it is enough for the whole village to live in."

"Here is a question, is the owner of the new house willing to let the people in the old house live?"

Chen Yang smiled, "Comrade reporter, you don't know us farmers too well. Usually they can quarrel or even fight, but in the face of natural disasters, they will quickly unite to save themselves. Our Chenjia Village is like this, precisely because of everyone's unity , the flood fighting and disaster relief can be carried out smoothly.”

"Director Chen, what self-help measures have you taken? Can you share them with everyone?"

Chen Yangdao: "Before the typhoon came, we mainly transferred people, especially those villagers who lived in dilapidated houses and those who lived in depressions. Our principle is that no family will be missed, and no one will be left behind."

"And what about during the typhoon's landfall?"

"Comrade reporter, during the landfall of a typhoon, human power is too small to do anything."

"I'm sorry. After the typhoon made landfall, what self-rescue measures did you take?"

"After the typhoon made landfall, we couldn't do much at first. But when the wind weakened, we dispatched immediately. But the heavy rain has flooded our whole village. Under such circumstances, active self-rescue is the only way."

"I heard that you carried out cadre divisions and contracted cadres, and you also organized a commando."

"Yes, our Chenjia Village is a big village. I divided the whole village into four districts in the southeast and northwest, with the village road as the boundary. Each district sent a village cadre to lead a team, and each team had more than a dozen militiamen and more than a dozen bodyguards. Strong and strong villagers. Their first priority is to save people."

"Do you search and rescue from house to house?"

"Yes, we searched and rescued from house to house. Basically, we went to each house twice or even three times. In fact, the villagers have spontaneously moved to the roof, and a considerable number of them stayed on the trees beside the road. We Search and rescue and transfer were carried out as quickly as possible, which is the main reason why we have basically no casualties."

"What did you do next?"

"The next step is to eat and drink. After we completed the search and rescue and transfer, it was noon the next day. The villagers didn't have breakfast or lunch. Everyone was hungry. Eating and drinking is a big deal. First of all To drink, under the circumstances at that time, you can only drink dirty water, and drink raw water."

"How can this work? You will get sick if you drink dirty water."

"There is no way, we can only request that the elderly, children and the infirm should try not to drink dirty water. But we young people must drink water when we work. As far as I am concerned, I only drank it for two days. Dirty water. I'm in good health, no problems at all."

"How did you solve the problem of drinking water?"

"Easy to handle. Later we set up an iron pot to boil water. Although the water was still dirty, it basically killed all the bacteria. And we asked everyone to drink hot water instead of cold water. Up to now, less than ten people have gotten sick from drinking water, and all of them have been cured by doctors in our village."

"Director Chen, please talk about the food again."

"As for the problem of food, it is actually not difficult to solve. Those who have new houses have already moved supplies such as rice and iron pots to the second floor. When they see their relatives in times of crisis, they will take it out on their own initiative. It's easy to fix."

"I heard that you once encountered the firewood problem."

"Yes, it's not enough to have rice, pots and water. Without firewood, rice can't be cooked into rice. But just in our Chenjia Village, there is a wooden suitcase manufacturing industry. There are more than [-] households, and there are a lot of them at home. The planks, they took out on their own initiative, turned into firewood when exposed to the wind and sun."

"That is to say, on the first day after the typhoon, all your villagers had hot meals?"

"Yes. It's a pity that there is no food. Everyone's first meal is only rice with salt, which barely fills the stomach."

At this time, the hostess smiled, "I also heard that your first meal after the disaster is pretty good."

Chen Yang also smiled, nodded his head and said: "It's pretty good. My family has pickled vegetables, bacon, and some vegetables. But there were 120 and [-] villagers who stayed in my house temporarily. They only had one meal at noon, and my family The little stock I had was gone."

Everyone laughed.

"Director Chen, please continue."

"We set up a commando team that afternoon. The main task of the commando team was to find food for the villagers. Anything that flew in the sky or swam in the water was caught. Of course, the main target was poultry. Here we have three kinds of pigs, ducks and chickens."

"I heard that your commando captured all the pigs, ducks and chickens in the village?"

"Yeah, they're all caught. No matter who owns them, they're all caught. But it's not enough, so we took three measures. The first is fishing. So far, we have caught 5000 How many catties of fish and shrimp."

"What's the second measure?"

"The second is to touch the vegetables on the private land of each family. Although the typhoon blew heavy rain and caused serious floods, the vegetables in the field were only flooded, and most of them should still be there. Our commando team is amazing. After a few days, More than 3000 catties of vegetables have been touched."

"What about the third measure?"

"The third is to break into the house. After obtaining everyone's consent, the commando searched door-to-door, found out the rice, pickled vegetables, and salted meat from each household, and handed them over to the village, which then distributed them uniformly. Only rice , we fished out more than [-] catties from the water."

The hostess looked at Chen Yang and asked, "We just heard that you took the initiative to donate 1 yuan to the village on the first day. Is there such a thing?"
