Chapter 32

As soon as Shen Jianyi said this, the original residents of the villa area all expressed their attitudes.

Everyone has the same idea, and if someone takes the lead, everyone will follow.

As soon as they expressed this attitude, the faces of the people at the top level turned visibly unhappy.

Originally, everyone was sitting together, chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Now an unspeakable gap began to flow between people.

An older person from the top management, who seemed to be the one with the most say among them, spoke first.

He said: "This is a special situation. We are about to carry out disinfection. The rescue team also said that disinfection is to use helicopters to drop disinfectant powder from below. The powder is toxic and very harmful to the human body. The government also said that we should try to avoid it.

You all know the situation at the top. Most of us are living in tents now. If it is really disinfected, there will be no place to hide.

Didn’t we say that we should fight the earthquake together and get through this difficult time together? Please help each other and let us take shelter for a while. After these few days are over, we will move out on our own without you having to evict us.”

His words "you don't have to chase them away" clearly drew a line between the two sides, and several young people in the upper echelons immediately showed some indignation on their faces.

After all, when everyone was working together before, they really helped each other, no one was reluctant to work, and no one ever considered which side they were on.

It's easy to feel wronged when you are rejected when you need help.

But the people in the villa area also feel aggrieved!

I've already told you that you can live in such a big yard as you like, is that not okay?

Why should I let outsiders live in the house I bought with my own money and the home I worked hard to maintain?

Besides, it is easier to invite a god than to send him away. What if the people who moved in refuse to leave after the disinfection is finished?

Will we turn against each other at that time or not?

One of the people here finally couldn't hold it in any longer and whispered: "What shall we do if you don't leave? There are so many of you, we can't defeat you even if we fight!"

This sentence was like a fuse, and both sides exploded at the same time.

The villa area has a lot of land and many houses, but there are very few people.

Before the earthquake, there were only about a hundred people living there.

Later, more than a dozen people, like Xiaoyu's mother, left because they were concerned about the situation in the city.

The total population now, including children like Tongtong, is only about fifty or sixty.

There is a huge difference compared to the senior management who have about 200 people.

What that person said was right. If these people stick together, it will be hard to say who will chase whom out.

People on both sides felt aggrieved, so naturally they became angry as they spoke.

They said, "You are not the owners of the community, so it doesn't matter where you stay in the future. Now that the earthquake is over, you can find a job somewhere else! You don't even have a house, so there is no need to stay here."

The other side said, "Are you going to disown us after you've used us? Isn't it time for us to help carry bricks to repair the house and take care of the wounded?"

In short, in just a short while, the roof was almost up to the sky.

Shi Lei and Cao Hongmin both lived in high-rise buildings before, so it was inevitable that they would have tendencies at times like this.

Neither of them responded, but no one spoke out to stop them either.

The situation seemed to be getting out of control.

Chen Cong felt that this was not acceptable.

She will be living in the community for a long time, and the good atmosphere cannot be destroyed so quickly.

At this time, unity is really better for everyone than tearing each other apart.

She raised her voice and asked loudly, "What are you guys arguing about? The disinfection will start in three days. If you don't hurry up and build a house now, will the house be built by itself if you sit here and talk nonsense?"

Chencong now has a very special existence in the entire community.

She is indifferent to others, doesn't like to get involved in anything, and doesn't like to stand out.

But when you need help, as long as you ask, she will definitely help if she can.

And everyone recognizes that she is very strong.

Not to mention that they knew how to bandage the wound before, the first one to break out of the confinement circle and walk into the town was the couple.

Not only did he go, he also brought back help from the town.

Although Gu Kai was also involved, who doesn’t know that women are the head of their family?

Gu Kai always supports her.

Not only Gu Kai, but the whole family also seemed to trust her. She was definitely the one who had the final say at home.

Especially among people in the villa area, there is still a legend circulating that she knocked Xu Liang down with a stick.

So, although the sound was not loud, the room was still quiet for a moment when she opened her mouth.

"Sister Cong, you make it sound simple, but how can a house be built in just one or two days?"

Xiao Fan, who was not far away, was the first to speak.

He is Shi Lei's assistant and also his most capable subordinate.

Xiao Fan used to be a security guard in the residential area. He got to know her when he was delivering tricycles for security guards during a heavy rain.

Maybe it was because of the good first impression, Xiao Fan always felt close to Shen Cong.

I am usually not polite to her. Whenever we meet, I call her "Sister Chong" all the time.

Chen Cong was also very nice to him and would joke with him from time to time.

Now listening to Chen Cong speaking, Xiao Fan was the first to express the grievances on his side.

"We really don't mean to stay here. We just want to take shelter for a while. The disinfection will only take a few days. We will move back when it's over."

"Where are you going to move back to?" Chen Cong hit the nail on the head.

Xiao Fan did not answer immediately.

Because he had moved to the villa area with Shi Lei and others.

Although he is speaking for the people at the top now, he actually knows that he cannot represent these people.

He looked back at Shi Lei who was sitting there without saying a word, gritted his teeth and replied: "It's no longer possible to live over there. Even if we move out, we will definitely have to live here."

Chen Cong did not show any resistance.

She just asked back: "If that's the case, why don't we hurry up and build the house now? After all, there are still three days left!"

Xiao Fan stiffened his neck and tried to explain himself. Chen Cong made a gesture to stop him, then glared at him and said, "I think you are stupid!"

This sentence made Xiao Fan swallow all the words she wanted to say, and everyone else's eyes were focused on her.

Shen Cong stood up from his seat.

She said: "Let me tell you my personal opinion. You can listen to it and see if it's right or wrong. It can also be used as a reference."

Cao Hongmin immediately said, "Xiao Shen, you speak, we are all listening."

Chen Cong nodded at him and said, "Disasters always coexist with opportunities. Don't just look at the difficulties, but also think about the opportunities that these difficulties can bring us.

If I am not mistaken, most of us here are tenants in the community. Even if we are not tenants but owners, our houses were collapsed in this earthquake and no longer exist. "

After hearing this, many people below lowered their heads again, and the eyes of several high-level owners turned red.

Chen Cong did not soften her voice or comfort anyone, she continued in a calm voice: "Everyone is equal in the face of disaster, no one is better than anyone else.

Now is not the time to feel sorry for yourself. Instead of feeling bad, you should think about how to seize the opportunity as soon as possible to make your life better."

At this point, she paused and asked, "I wonder how many of you have noticed the sentence on the brochure?"

"Which sentence?" several people asked at the same time.

“The government said to keep everyone away from cracks and find a suitable location in a closed environment.

But now, let alone our community, how many suitable places are there in the whole of Bac Ninh? How many enclosed environments are suitable for staying in?"

There was silence below.

“What if there is no suitable environment? Then create it yourself.”

Chen Cong looked at everyone and said, "I know that many families in our community are not from Beining. If anyone is ready to go home and doesn't want to stay here anymore, you can just ignore what I said.

But if someone is planning to settle down here in the future, then I think this may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

We all know how big this earthquake was. Just looking at our neighborhood, we can imagine how much damage it caused to Bac Ninh.

With such a huge destruction, was our house the only one to collapse? Of course not. There are so many people in the city who are even more miserable and helpless than us, and there are many who have no houses to live in.

In the face of such a huge disaster, it is already difficult for the government to provide us with the most basic food and ensure that we can survive. Who can expect them to have the spare capacity to build houses for every household?

What if the government can’t provide housing? Then you have to find a way yourself. And it’s clearly written on the brochure that people are encouraged to find a place to live on their own.

No matter how difficult the situation is in our community, at least we have vacant land. If you are willing to build a house, we are all willing to help.

But if you don’t hurry up and take up the space…”

Before Chen Cong finished speaking, the crowd was already in chaos, and many people immediately became restless.

Smart people immediately understood what she meant.

Nowadays, once you build a house, it is yours.

You don’t have to pay anyone money or ask for anyone’s consent.

Before the government has the energy to interfere, you have the final say on how big you want to build and where you want to build it.

As long as you have the strength, no one can stop you.

Isn't this an opportunity?

This kind of opportunity may not come once in a lifetime!

Some people still haven't figured it out and are still shouting: "Why should we let outsiders in our place? No one can come in if we don't let them in!"

Someone immediately retorted: "This land belongs to Yingshui Village. We only have the right to live there. Now we have no house and no right to live there. Why should we stop others from moving in? There is no basis for this."

"Even if we can really prevent those who come here alone from entering, what if the government makes a unified plan and allows all the people in the city to relocate here? Forget Yingshui Village. What is Yingshui Village in front of the country?

"If they say it's theirs, then it's theirs. Who cares if they say it's taken back? Don't forget, land will always be state-owned assets!" Someone who understands this said.

"Yeah, you still remember the rescue team that came before, right? They took away our personnel list, the number of personnel, and the area of ​​the community! If the country intervenes, can we stop them?!"

"What should we do? If someone really comes, where will we live?" Many people panicked immediately.

"So I don't understand, why can you still sit still at this moment?" Chen Cong added a little fuel to the fire.

Everyone laughed and felt as if their brains suddenly became clear!

you do not say.

What are you all still sitting here for?

Instead of sitting here arguing, you might as well go and choose a spot and occupy it first.

As for houses, build as many as you can.

If you can't cover it, just use some broken bricks to surround it first.

If you circle it, it's yours. If you don't, you may not have it even if you want it in the future!

In the future, even if the government really wants to relocate people to the community, they can only be relocated to vacant land.

We can't tear down the houses built by our own people in the yard, or ask them to move away, right?

The more everyone thought about it, the more they felt that Chen Cong's reminder was right, and they were glad that she reminded everyone now, as it was still not too late.

Even if they need to relocate people, it must be done after disinfection. Now is the time to occupy the land and build houses. If you grab it, it’s yours!

After thinking it through, who would still want to waste time here talking nonsense?

I wish I could disperse immediately.

Cao Hongmin saw that everyone was about to leave, so he quickly shouted, "Don't just randomly enclose the land! Come here! I have the layout of the community here, and those who want to build a house should register with me. Our community will not recognize anyone who arbitrarily occupies land without telling us!"

Those who had no houses in high-rise buildings and those whose houses collapsed in the villa area all ran towards Lao Cao.

The Shen family and other owners whose houses were still there left quietly.

After going out, the neighbor who first expressed his attitude looked at Shen Cong, and then gave Shen Jianyi a thumbs up.

Shen Jianyi smiled and said nothing.

No one spoke anymore and everyone went back to their homes.

After returning home, Shen Jianyi told this story to those who did not attend the meeting. The more he talked about it, the more proud he became, and he felt that his daughter was extremely smart!

Such a sharp conflict was resolved by just a few words from her.

Shen Jianyi admitted that he couldn't do it.

Chen Cong did not feel proud at all, she just said: "I am telling the truth."

In the future, the government will definitely unify the planning of people’s residences. Now that so many houses have collapsed in the city, people who have no houses to live in will inevitably move out.

Their community looks remote, but the living environment is pretty good.

When that time comes, it will definitely be a piece of fat meat. I wonder how many people will be eyeing it!

Instead of letting a group of outsiders who don’t know or understand each other move in, it is better to let the residents on the upper floors move in.

At least we still have the feeling of sharing weal and woe.

And judging from the current situation, those people can still get along.

It's much better than having a bunch of outsiders coming.

The family was talking in the house, and then someone knocked on the door.

When he opened the door, he saw Xiao Faner and a few other guys who were on good terms with him standing outside.

Seeing that it was Chen Cong who opened the door, Xiao Faner smiled and said, "Sister Cong, I want to borrow the tricycle at home."

"Okay, come in and push it." Chen Cong agreed readily.

When Xiao Fan came in and pushed the cart, she asked curiously, "Why, are you going to build a house too? Are you not going to live in the villa to the west anymore?"

"I still live there. But the house still needs to be built. Brother Shi Lei said that houses need to be built but they can't be built randomly, and they can't be built without planning and just do whatever anyone wants.

He is now discussing with Lao Liu how to plan!

It seems that Brother Shi Lei wants to divide it into several types, including family housing and single rooms, and then let everyone apply according to their needs."

"This is a good idea. It's the long-term solution!" Shen Jianyi, who came out with him, praised immediately upon hearing this.

"Of course!" Xiao Fan raised his head proudly. "Our brother Shi Lei is amazing! He and Lao Liu used to be designers in big cities. They just returned to Bac Ninh not long ago. They originally wanted to start a business here, but they didn't expect to encounter the earthquake."

Xiao Fan said this with a regretful sigh.

"A talented person will never be buried anywhere. Shi Lei is good and will definitely succeed in the future!" Shen Jianyi said.

These words were meant to praise Shi Lei, but Xiao Fan and the people who came with him were all very happy to hear them, and nodded vigorously as if they were being praised.

Shen Cong found it a little funny and he also looked at Shi Lei with a new respect.

He is capable, has good character, and can maintain a group of people who recognize him.

Having such people as leaders in the community is beneficial rather than harmful.

Perhaps because of this they will be able to do better and live longer in the apocalypse.

After chatting for a few more sentences, Chen Cong and the others realized that Xiao Fan and his friends were in a hurry to borrow a car in order to rush to the town.

They wanted to see if there were any cement, sand or other materials needed for building houses for sale in the town.

If there is, get some back if you can, whether you buy it with money or exchange it for something.

After all, no matter how urgent it is, if you want to build a house you have to do it seriously and the quality of the project cannot be fuzzy.

How can you really just fool people?

After hearing this, the Shen family became more supportive of the managers of the community.

In the end, not only did he lend the tricycle to Xiao Fan, he also let them ride the two load-bearing bicycles in his home.

When everyone is working together to do something, they are usually very efficient.

The next morning, when it was just daybreak, Chen Cong went to the fourth-floor rooftop to exercise and saw many people busy in the courtyard.

One can even see that not only have many places been marked out with white lime, but in some places the foundation has already been dug!

This is enough to prove how many people did not sleep all night.

At noon, Xiao Fan and his group who went to the town to buy building materials also returned.

Not only did they come back by themselves, they also brought back a construction team and a lot of building materials.

This is such an unexpected surprise!

Even Chen Cong and Chen Xi couldn't help but run out to ask about the situation out of curiosity.

After asking this, I found out that not only they had started construction, but people in the town had also started repairing their houses and rebuilding.

The building they had visited must be abandoned now.

But the workers who were originally working there have not left yet.

These people evacuated from the construction site when the government first notified them to prepare for earthquakes, so most of them saved their lives.

The earthquake is over now, but the job is gone.

There is no transportation to go home at the moment, so everyone can only find ways to make money on the spot.

It just so happened that the earthquake was over at this time, and it was the peak period of reconstruction, so construction workers became popular again.

The construction party dispersed the workers into small construction teams, and started taking on jobs and becoming self-reliant.

As for building materials——

The construction site has not been completed yet, and the things previously invested by the construction party have not been completely destroyed, so they can always find something usable.

With a proper construction team and building a house for themselves, everyone was very motivated and the house was naturally built quickly.

Within a day, the foundations of several places began to take shape.

Because every household needed someone to help out, Shen Jianyi and Gu Kai reported to the property management as soon as they got up.

As a result, he was chased away by Cao Hongmin as soon as he arrived.

Lao Cao directly told them: "Go back and clean up your house quickly. It will be disinfected soon. You should at least cover the house, otherwise the disinfectant will be sprayed on it and it will be difficult to clean up in the future."

Lao Cao's words were supported by everyone present. No one wanted to keep them, and instead people kept giving them advice.

After all, everyone knows that the Shen family's situation is special.

His villa is so close to the crack that it is even within the area where the government requires evacuation.

But the house is in good condition and built so solidly.

From any perspective, they can be said to be the first in the community, and there is no way they can move away.

Therefore, how to reduce losses as much as possible becomes a top priority.

In fact, the Shen family is also a little worried about this.

Mr. Gu still knows something about the disinfectant.

In his words, that thing can be decomposed in the environment and does not cause much harm to the human body, but high concentrations and close contact can still easily cause a variety of diseases.

For example, skin diseases, respiratory diseases.

Therefore, it is very important to prepare in advance.

Moreover, those medicines are chemical agents after all. They are easy to decompose when they are floating in the air, but it is hard to say about those that remain in the soil. It is unknown how many years it will take to completely decompose them.

Before this, it was impossible to grow crops well on the polluted land.

Although the soil dug out when digging the cellar was quietly stored in the space by Chencong, it will definitely be enough for growing crops in the future.

But I didn’t buy such a big backyard to have it polluted!

Whether it is land or house, we must find a way to keep it, or at least minimize the losses.

The family sat together and discussed for a long time. After thinking about it, they could only think of one solution, which was to wrap the whole house.

This method is stupid, but it is the easiest and most effective.

But - where to get the materials for wrapping becomes another problem.

The earthquake came suddenly and had never happened before. Chen Cong had no idea that the ground would crack.

No matter how well prepared the Shen family was, they never thought of buying materials to wrap the house.

For a moment, the whole family was a little worried.

Unexpectedly, the turning point of the situation was brought about by Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan took the initiative to come to the door, and started to show off as soon as he entered: "Uncle Shen, look who I brought to you?"

He pointed to the tall and thin man who followed him in and introduced him, "This is Lao Li from the construction team. Uncle, don't you want to protect the house? Their construction team is an expert in this area.

When we went to the town this time, we saw many people wrapping their houses, all using the colored striped cloth they provided. In addition to renting the cloth, they also took care of the construction.

I called him over here specifically, let's talk about it and see if we can get them to do it as well?"

This was like giving someone a pillow when they were sleepy. Shen was overjoyed by the suggestion.

He thanked Xiao Fan and started chatting with the man.

When it comes to protecting the house, the man looks very confident.

After taking a look around the house, he gave the Shen family some suggestions, explaining in detail how to wrap it and where to start.

It even took them a short while to calculate how much colored strips of cloth they needed to rent and even the price.

The price is actually not high. It only costs ten kilograms of grain or five packs of compressed biscuits to rent the cloth to wrap the entire house.

If you need their workers to set up the place, just add two packets of instant noodles.

Even Chen Cong did not expect that renting colored striped cloth has now become a business.

This stuff used to be disposable.

But if you think about it, it's understandable. Materials are in short supply now, so of course we should make full use of whatever we can.

Because the workload in the community was heavy and there were not enough workers, the Shen family discussed it and decided not to use the workers from the construction team. They only rented their colored strips for five packs of compressed biscuits.

Anyway, everyone in the community had seen the compressed biscuits that Wei Yan had sent before, so it wouldn't attract attention if he took them out and used them now.

The entire Shen family took action, wrapping the entire villa tightly from the fourth floor down to the wall, leaving no gaps.

From the outside it looks like a dumpling and you can't see what's inside at all.

This job looks simple, but it is undoubtedly a big project for people with no experience. After finishing it, the whole family is so tired that they are staggering and don’t even have the strength to go out.

After everyone discussed it, they simply locked the door and entered the closed period early.

While the Shen family was busy building their own home, construction projects in the community were also in full swing.

Although it was impossible to build so many houses in three days, the community finally looked less lifeless and no longer filled with ruins.

All the usable construction materials were collected and the garbage was cleared away.

-

The elimination is finally about to begin.

The night before, the project was temporarily stopped and the workers returned to the town.

Those who have no place to live are temporarily taken in by residents living in vacant houses, and they plan to squeeze together for a few days.

Although the environment is a bit bad for now, people don’t feel it’s that hard when they think that they will have their own family soon.

Everyone feels very hopeful.
