Chapter 238 Digging River Sand
Hao Zhiguo has to stay for another half a month to hand over work to his successor.
He brought three housing purchase quotas in Xia City to Yang Qing and others.
Not everyone can get a spot in the reconstruction of Xia City New Town. The first phase has not yet been topped out, and it is unknown when the second phase will be completed. The houses are limited, so the number of spots is naturally limited as well.
Many people have to go through various channels to get a place, and I am really grateful to Hao Zhiguo for thinking of them.
"Take this carefully. It's just a qualification, but when you redeem points, they will be registered and cannot be bought or sold. When you buy a property, you need to see the ID. If the name on the ID and the points card don't match, you can't get the house." said Hao Zhiguo.
"Thank you, leader!" Yang Qing was very grateful, and he didn't have to look for anyone himself.
"Leader, where will you live then?" Yang Qing asked.
"I should be living in the New Town Administrative Center. They've built a new building there for staff to live in. But only a few senior leaders don't need points. Everyone else needs points to live there."
"When the time comes, you can come to me at the administrative center if you have any problems," said Hao Zhiguo.
Yang Qing smiled, "Is the leader transferred back this time a big leader? The top leader?"
Hao Zhiguo had made many contributions in Xia City before, and he also made many achievements in the past six months since he was transferred to Mingcheng. There is absolutely no problem with his performance.
Hao Zhiguo smiled and said, "No, I'm just the second one. Thanks to you, I have achieved what I have today. My success is inseparable from you!"
Yang Qing was very emotional. There were not many leaders like Leader Hao who were humble and dedicated to serving the people. It was a blessing for Xia City that he was promoted to the second-in-command of Xia City.
"If you need our help, local leaders, please let us know. We will probably buy villas and you can find us in the villa area." Yang Qing said.
Hao Zhiguo nodded. They were capable people and could live in a villa if they wanted. No one else could compare to them.
"Okay, I won't be polite then, I will really come find you."
Yang Qing smiled, "It's our honor!"
After finishing the instructions here, Yang Qing gathered everyone together and said, "Tomorrow we will start digging river sand."
"But we don't have the tools," said Li Liang.
"Don't worry, we will take care of it. We will also prepare the truck." Yang Qing said.
Leng Yi smiled. Back then in Xia City, he and Yang Qing had run around all the buildings under construction and unfinished buildings. What tools didn't they have?
You can exchange your existing supplies for points to get a villa.
But we can't let them know, nor can we let them reap the benefits without doing anything else. They will only appreciate something if they have put in the effort.
When they woke up the next day, Li Liang and Lin Feng saw a truck at the door. Although it was not new, it was very rare.
Brother Yi and his wife are so awesome, they can get whatever they want.
After breakfast, everyone got in the car and drove towards Shaxi River.
Lu Lin also went with them. After half a year, her hair had almost healed. It had grown to about six or seven centimeters long, and at first glance, she looked like a tomboy.
Because it was eternal night, it was dark everywhere. There were few people on the streets, and only a few buildings had scattered lights on.
"Hey, there seems to be a moon!" Lu Lin suddenly shouted.
Everyone leaned out the window and saw the moon.
"Normally, it should be around eight o'clock in the morning. Why is there a moon?" Lin Feng asked.
"It's the end of the world now, what's impossible?" Lu Lin said.
Leng Yi said as he drove, "Even before the end of the world, in the Arctic Circle, there would be a moon during the polar night. During the polar night, there would be a moon in the sky for half of the month, and no moon would be visible for the other half."
“There will also be stars, and if you’re lucky you can even see the northern lights.”
"Wow, I wonder if we can see the Northern Lights here?" Lu Lin suddenly felt a little longing.
"We are not in the Arctic Circle here. Of course, it is the end of the world now, and the climate is disordered everywhere. Nothing is impossible." Leng Yi smiled.
"You just said that there is a moon every half month. Does that mean it only appears at night? That is... the night we usually talk about." Yang Qing asked.
"No, it's there all day long. Since it's eternal night, it's night all day long, so the moon will naturally be there all day long." Leng Yi said.
"Is that so?" Yang Qing nodded. She hadn't expected Leng Yi to know so much. Had he been to the North Pole?
When we arrived at Shaxi River, we saw several lights on the riverbank, and there were other people digging river sand?
It seems that they are not the only ones who have received the news.
Leng Yi shone his flashlight over there and saw that they were digging with a dustpan and a shovel. They only had a cart and their conditions were much worse than his.
When others heard the sound of the car and saw the car lights, they knew that the person had driven here and they were all envious.
Li Liang climbed onto the car with a flashlight to get the tools. He was surprised to see the tools. In addition to dustpans and shovels, there were even nets for sifting sand.
The river sand dug from the river varies in size, and there are also a lot of small stones. All the sand used in construction must be sieved. The quality of the sieved river sand is better than that of the unsieved one, and it can get higher points.
Brother Yi and the others really know everything and are so well prepared.
Leng Yi took a rechargeable lantern and placed it on the ground, illuminating the large area of the river beach.
Everyone started digging river sand, each with a shovel. They shoveled the river sand into a dustpan, then took it to the sieve, propped the sieve up on the shore with a wooden stick, and then shoveled the river sand towards the sieve.
Small pebbles and coarse sand are blocked in front of the sieve, and fine sand falls behind the sieve. The sieved sand is of uniform size and good quality.
Yang Qing and Lu Lin got blisters on their hands after just a few shovels.
The main reason is that they have never done any rough work, and their skin is delicate and tender, so they can't withstand friction at all.
Leng Yi felt distressed when he saw this, "Stop working, go to the side and have a rest, let us do it."
The two men then put the sifted river sand into a dustpan and wanted to take it back to the car, but they didn't know that the river sand was so heavy that the dustpan was so full that they couldn't lift it at all.
The two of them were suddenly embarrassed.
Li Liang smiled and said, "You guys just take a rest, we'll do the work."
After a large amount of river sand was sifted, Leng Yi carried the dustpans filled with sand into the carriage one by one. Li Liang took them in the carriage, poured out the sand, and then threw the dustpans out of the carriage.
Yang Qing and Lu Lin could only do some work of picking up dustpans and taking them to the riverbank for them to continue using.
The rest were heavy physical work, which two women could not do at all.
"I didn't expect it to be so tiring." Lu Lin and Yang Qing looked at each other.
Yang Qing smiled helplessly, "This isn't a woman's job. Let's prepare some water and food for them!"
Fortunately, the temperature is low now, so they don’t sweat much. If it were during the polar day, they would be exhausted if they were exposed to the sun again.
However, after working for so long, everyone was sweating, so Yang Qing and Lu Lin hurriedly brought them some water to drink.
