Zhou Mo was very tactful and came forward to help. The two of them came in with seven lunch boxes and placed them on an empty table next to them.

Xiao Sun walked to the door, took out a few bottles of mineral water from behind the door and handed them to Zhou Mo, "Sister Momo, you guys should eat first."

"You and Uncle Zhang eat first," Zhou Mo saw that the two of them didn't look like they could hold on.

"You guys go first," Xiao Sun said. "Uncle Zhang and I aren't hungry, we're sleepy. We haven't slept much in a few days. We're hanging on by a thread. If we eat, we'll be out of breath and we'll be sleepy. Being sleepy makes it easier to make mistakes, so we can't be sleepy."

"Okay, we'll eat first, then it's your turn," Zhou Mo called the other three students over.

While eating.

Zhou Mo discussed with them and decided to work overtime at night so that Xiao Sun and Uncle Zhang could have a rest.

The three students looked at each other.

Girl A: "Ah? What time do we have to go back? I won't be able to catch the last bus."

Girl B: "We are here to be volunteers, it's unpaid, why are we working overtime?"

Girl C: "Didn't you tell me I'd be working this long? If that's the case, I won't be coming tomorrow."

Zhou Mo: “…”

They have a point.

They are just volunteers, there is really no need for them to work so hard.

Even answering one more phone call may help many people in the disaster area.

Flood control and disaster relief has never been a one-person job. As a part of it, they cannot make or receive phone calls as well as the firefighters and medical staff on the front line, or even as well as the volunteers moving goods at the dispatch station. The chaos makes them forget that their purpose of coming here is to contribute their own strength to flood control and disaster relief.

The door of the mechanism seems to have magical power.

It seems that anyone who enters this door, whether they are volunteers or internal staff, forgets the people behind them and just wants to live their lives as a monk rings the bell.

No one wants to listen to talk about selflessness and dedication, and if you do talk about it, others will think you are noisy.

"Do you think that after signing up as volunteers, you can still go back tonight?" Zhou Mo asked.

The three girls looked at Zhou Mo in confusion: "What do you mean?"

"Can't you see the current situation clearly? We're short of manpower and manpower. One person is almost doing the work of two. Are you treating volunteering like strolling down the street?" Zhou Mo shook his head helplessly. "If you don't plan to be good volunteers, don't want to contribute manpower and manpower, and still want to negotiate conditions, then there's no need for you to come tomorrow."

"What are you talking about?" Girl A was unhappy. "We are here to help, and the notice didn't say that we can't go home?"

"Please take another good look at the notice," Zhou Mo didn't want to explain.

When the college issued the notice, it was already very late, and it was obviously issued urgently.

The specific requirements for volunteers were not specified in detail, except that they required a spirit of dedication. Male volunteers were preferred, but female volunteers were also welcome to sign up. Male volunteers were selected on a first-come, first-served basis.

There were more places for boys, but four were given to girls.

The last sentence of the notice specifically emphasized that we are in an emergency state now, with tight time and heavy tasks. All specific arrangements will be made by the health department personnel. It is hoped that these students from the School of Health Management can demonstrate the spirit that Southeast University students should have during their volunteer service.

The key words "emergency state" and "tight time and heavy tasks" have already demonstrated the urgency of this volunteer service.

Being able to go home and get enough sleep every day means being short on time and having a heavy workload?

Girl A complained, "Didn't the academy remind us that we couldn't go home?"

Zhou Mo just wanted to roll his eyes. "Do you have any misunderstandings about volunteering in emergencies?"

Everyone has a casual attitude. Do they really think that participating in volunteer service is the same as strolling on the street?

"What should I do then?" Girl B said, "I didn't bring any toiletries or a change of clothes."

"I didn't bring it either..." said girl C.

"Sisters, do you think we are still allowed to wash in this situation?" Zhou Mo really suspected that they were too well protected by the group of boys at the dispatching station and did not do any heavy work. They really thought that volunteer service was just to make up the numbers.

"No, I want to go home and I have to wash my face," said Girl A.

"Me too. How can I sleep if I don't take a shower at night?" said Girl B.

"If you leave, I will leave too," said girl C.

Zhou Mo shook his head helplessly.

Uncle Zhang, who was resting nearby, heard the conversation. He leaned over, rubbed his eyes, and stretched. "Let's all go. Students nowadays are simply unreliable."

He stood up and stretched his waist. "During the 1998 flood, college students didn't even sit in their offices and make phone calls. Many of them formed groups, carrying sacks and shovels, and spontaneously went to the front lines to fight the flood. That wasn't organized by the school; it was completely spontaneous. Back then, no student said they couldn't sleep without washing their face. If they were tired, they could find a grass nest and have a good sleep. Now, they're asked to stay up late to make a phone call, and they're fussy about it."

"The notice didn't mention overnight, how would we know?" Girl A objected.

"The notice hasn't mentioned providing meals yet, and I don't see you planning to bring your own food," Zhou Mo retorted.

"You..." Girl A: "We're volunteers, so we should have basic food and accommodation, right? There's nothing here!"

"Who said there isn't one?" Uncle Zhang pulled out a camp bed from the corner. "You can just pull it out and sleep on it. Someone will take care of your meals. You can stay indoors, out of the wind and sun. Still not enough? Why don't you try to fight the floods on the front lines?"

"Why are you asking for such high standards for a job? Do you think it's just a business trip? And you're still talking about salary?" Xiao Sun couldn't stand it anymore.

The three girls never imagined that the so-called volunteers were really volunteers, and they were not the same as the volunteers who went to nursing homes to carry out condolences activities.

Old Zhang is experienced. He said, "This is an emergency. The notice was issued very quickly, so it's normal that it wasn't explained clearly. Not to mention the teachers in your college, even we didn't know what to do before receiving the official notice. We all followed the arrangements of the flood control headquarters. You are already grown up children. Since you are going to come here, you should use your brains and think a little bit. But don't worry about one thing. You will definitely not starve here, and you will have a place to sleep. But these are the conditions."

"The people are already here. If you can make do with them, then make do with them. If you can't, then you can report it to the academy and the leaders here. We won't stop you from leaving." Zhou Mo simply tried to persuade them to leave. Anyway, these three people didn't have a high level of awareness. Even if they worked together, there would be disputes later.

The three girls stood there blankly, not knowing what to do.

The three of them suddenly gathered together and discussed with their heads down.

In the end, the three decided to tell the school and the local leaders that they would not be coming.
