Chapter 435: It depends on the wise decision of the leaders

Because Lu Jiansen was covering for him, Gu Xiaoxi often cleaned up the garbage on the ground without being noticed.

Then someone discovered that there were many more piles of garbage in the places that Lu Jiansen and his team had cleaned up. Some were construction waste, some were pots and pans, some were clothes and bedding, some were wooden furniture, and some were steel...

Among these things, Gu Xiaoxi only symbolically exchanged some of the broken pots, bowls, and utensils for new ones, so that these things could be reused by the people in the disaster area without being out of place.

When the area was almost cleaned up, Lu Jiansen had people pick out the good and usable pots, bowls, and pans and distribute them to the people.

After dark, Gu Xiaoxi threw all the bedding from the ruins into the junk warehouse.

In order to have more quilts, she replaced them all with thin quilts weighing three kilograms, and then quietly gave them to Lu Jiansen.

Lu Jiansen also took out some rice and flour from the space and distributed them to the people as relief supplies, thus solving the practical problem of insufficient relief supplies and the people suffering from freezing and hunger.

Late at night, Lu Jiansen led his men to sort out all the usable wood, bricks, kang mats, doors and windows.

Gu Xiaoxi felt that there were too few materials, so he quietly replaced the discarded building materials with new ones and put them into the building materials sorted out by Lu Jiansen and his team.

The next day, Lu Jiansen arranged for people to take the survivors to build simple houses on the cleaned-up ruins to accommodate the homeless people.

Gu Xiaoxi brought some women to pick out the good ones from the pile of old clothes, wash them clean, disinfect them, and hang them up to dry with ropes.

Because Gu Xiaoxi secretly used the wind-drying technique, all the clothes were dry by the afternoon.

When no one was paying attention, she secretly exchanged some of the clothes for new ones.

Lu Jiansen had people distribute clothes according to need, temporarily alleviating the major problem of clothing shortage.

You know, in the past few days, many people were wearing wet clothes and didn’t even have a change of clothes.

With basic food and shelter guaranteed, people will have more motivation to build their homes and become more proactive.

Li Kun couldn't help but sigh as he watched, "Sister-in-law is really thoughtful! I saw that many people had numb, sad and hopeless eyes before, but some just put on a piece of clothing and suddenly they seemed to come back to life and there was hope."

Lu Xiangqian was silent for a while before saying, "They must have felt the warmth from the country. The country has not given up on them, so they naturally cannot give up on themselves. Facing a disaster, they are not alone."

Li Kun smiled and patted his shoulder. "That sounds very literary, but it makes sense."

While the two were talking in a low voice, Gu Xiaoxi was already repairing the furniture.

After a while of trying, she had a dozen dining tables and dozens of simple long benches.

She also made a lot of small stools using the broken wood.

Her waste recycling has also affected many people. Many of them have joined the ranks of waste cleaning. Those who know a little about carpentry are also trying to find waste wood boards to make furniture.

Their homes were destroyed, but those who were still alive still had to continue living.

Gu Xiaoxi felt comforted when she saw more and more people joining the cleaning and tidying up.

She and Lu Jiansen were only responsible for the cleanup of an area in Fengxia City and could not help everyone, but she hoped to do her part where she was.

When it was dark, Lu Jiansen called his little girl to a quiet place to talk in private.

"Xiaoxi, can you still buy cement?"

Gu Xiaoxi nodded, "Sure, how much do you want?"

"Not too many, just five or six bags will do. You can say they were found in other ruins."

"Yes!" Gu Xiaoxi immediately bought him ten large bags of cement from the exchange mall.

Lu Jiansen quickly put away his things and said, "I'm going to go out for a while, wait for me here."

"Okay, then you be careful." There are still aftershocks, and she is a little worried.

"Don't worry!" Seeing that there was no one around, Lu Jiansen leaned over and kissed her moist red lips, then walked away seriously.

It was as if the cat that just stole the food was not him.

Gu Xiaoxi pursed her lips slightly and felt like laughing.

Lu Jiansen is really good at pretending to be serious.

At night, after Lu Jiansen led the team away, Gu Xiaoxi continued to do carpentry work with others.

After the others had gone to rest, she turned off the flashlight and cleared away a pile of debris and rotten wood.

Many things were automatically disposed of as garbage once they arrived at the junkyard, but the rotten wood was replaced with some wood, so she put them all in the area where she was building the simple house.

When she collected the second pile of garbage, she discovered an extra stack of money in the new product showroom.

After carefully counting, I found that there were 666 yuan and 75 cents.

She quickly put the brand new money back into the space, and then selected old coins of the same amount from the money box she had taken from Old Man Gu, otherwise it would be difficult to explain the brand new money.

When Lu Jiansen came back, she gave the money to him.

Lu Jiansen called Lu Xiangqian over again and handed him the money. "Take this money, along with other coins you picked up during the day, and valuables such as watches, and send them to the comrade in charge of property registration."

"Yes. I guarantee to complete the task." Lu Xiangqian immediately collected the money and went to carry out the task.

"Are you sleepy? Do you want to take a rest first?" Lu Jiansen asked.

Gu Xiaoxi shook his head, "I'm not sleepy. It's easier to get things done at night. I'll sleep in the morning."

"Then I'll have someone clean up the garbage nearby, and you can eat something next to me."

"Yeah." Gu Xiaoxi nodded, then picked up some dead branches and wood nearby and built a fire not far away.

Because a simple house was being built in the open space not far ahead, the temporary camp built by Lu Jiansen and his team was not far away. Her things were also there, so she ran back and brought over a cardboard box, then set up an iron rack and started to roast bamboo tube rice on it.

She didn't just stand there grilling, but helped clean up the accumulated construction waste when no one was paying attention.

What was more surprising was that after these things were thrown into the junk warehouse, not a single brick was exchanged, but a roll of rainproof tarpaulin was obtained.

Another wave of construction waste is collected...

What I got was a roll of oilcloth!

So she quietly went a little further to collect construction waste, and accidentally accumulated more than twenty rolls of tarpaulin.

When she ran back to the fire, she quickly washed her hands, took down the bamboo tube rice that was roasted over the fire, quickly roasted some more bamboo tube rice, and called Lu Jiansen and the others to come over for dinner.

When eating bamboo tube rice again, Li Kun's face was full of happiness, "Sister-in-law, with you around, we are happy to go on missions."

Gu Xiaoxi couldn't help but laugh, "If you go on a mission in the future and it's convenient to take me with you, then take me with you."

Li Kun also laughed when he heard it, "I do want to. But it depends on the wise decision of the leaders. Look, weren't the leaders very wise this time?"

The other warriors also laughed. Everyone was in a heavy mood for the past few days and finally relaxed a little.
