Chapter 236 Base Director
Gu Yuanping cursed into the phone and suddenly felt that he had vented a lot of his anger over the past few days.
I had originally agreed to be away for a week, but now it’s been almost two weeks before I returned to base.
He put away his cell phone and went to the office in Building 2 instead of going to the interrogation room.
When I entered the office and saw the scene inside, I suddenly became angry again.
A man with stubble on his chin, about fifty or sixty years old, had his big feet straddling his desk, and his right hand was unconsciously picking at his toes.
"Can you please pay more attention to your image? After all, you are the head of the base. Can't you change your bad habits?"
Gu Yuanping kicked the man directly on the chair he was sitting on, and kicked both the man and the chair away from his desk, almost causing him to fall to the ground.
"Whoever wants to be the base commander can be the commander. Do you think I am happy to be the commander? You pushed me to the position, didn't you?"
When the base was established, Gu Yuanping was supposed to be the base commander.
But Gu Yuanping was not willing to be the base commander, so the two old men in their fifties and sixties had a fight, and the loser became the base commander.
As a result, he lost to Gu Yuanping. It is no exaggeration to say that he was kicked into the position of base leader by Gu Yuanping.
Gu Yuanping sighed, and the anger on his face disappeared.
He and Kozin came from the same village and served in the same place.
But his life was better than Kozin's.
Kozin's only son, who was also a company commander, died of infection after inhaling too much poisonous fog while out on a rescue mission during the toxic fog period.
With her only son gone, Kozin lost all hope and became completely depressed, with no desire to live at all.
Gu Yuanping wanted to use the title of base commander to tie him down.
So as to awaken Kozin's responsibility to the people and give him the motivation to live.
The effect is not bad, at least now I look like a human being.
So even though he, as the deputy base commander, does more work than the base commander, Gu Yuanping is happy to do it.
"I heard something happened at the base?"
Kozin adjusted the chair and sat on it, and then the two began to talk about business.
Gu Yuanping told him everything that had happened recently.
"Fuck Tang Zhiqing! I supported him to become the director of the medical station, and he framed me like this?"
There are only three keys to the warehouse, two of which are at the base, and the owner of the other key is not at the base at all during this period.
Isn't it obvious what Tang Zhiqing is planning?
But what Tang Zhiqing didn't know was that before leaving, Ke Qin was afraid that he would lose the key due to carelessness, so he gave the key to Gu Yuanping for safekeeping.
Therefore, Gu Yuanping always kept the two keys close to him.
After returning Ke Qin's key to him, Gu Yuanping told him about the interrogation room and Lu Zhengan's family.
"Why are we still interrogating them? We are not judges. Why don't we just arrest Tang Zhiqing and those people and send them to do hard labor?"
After Ke Qin finished speaking, he glanced at Gu Yuanping, coughed, and then said:
"We are regular soldiers, and we must rely on evidence when doing things. Then let's do as Lu Yuan said and focus on Lu Zhengan's youngest son."
"Leave this matter to me. You may be better than me in other aspects, but when it comes to interrogation, I am the expert!"
After the two men finished discussing matters at the base, they talked about what Kozin had gained from this trip.
This time, Ke Qin went to the neighboring province to find out the situation.
Upon learning that the situation there was even worse than in Peng Province, Gu Yuanping fell silent.
The prolonged high temperatures and decreasing water resources resulted in large-scale fires in the neighboring Feng Province.
Gu Yuanping was also overwhelmed when he heard Ke Qin say that a large number of survivors from Feng Province might flock to Peng Province in the near future.
They can't even take care of the survivors in Pengcheng, so how can they have the energy and resources to accept such a large number of refugees?
After coming out of Gu Yuanping's office, one went to the interrogation room and the other went towards the farm.
....
After Gu Yuanping went back, Han Ying and Lu Yuan continued to repair the wall.
It seemed that Gu Yuanping’s arrival just now had no effect on the two of them.
The others who were helping to build the wall didn't ask any further questions.
Even Lei Minghu and Lin Xiaoli didn't know who the person who just came to see Han Ying and Lu Yuan was.
The progress of the wall construction today was very fast because everyone didn't have to go to work tonight and we all got here around twelve o'clock.
Lin Ting had already taken away a lot of construction materials, some of which were from Lei Minghu and Qin Qinghai, and she also helped to take them away.
Han Ying asked Lei Minghu to go back and repair their wall first, otherwise there would be no room in the yard.
Moreover, Lei Minghu had previously said that he wanted to block the garage.
If they have to wait until Han Ying and her team have completed the construction of their wall before they can start repairing their garage and wall, they don’t know how many days they will have to wait.
However, Lei Minghu told Han Ying and the others that he and Qin Qinghai had already blocked the garage during the day.
For this purpose, they used up all the water that Lei Minghu had saved for a long time and moved from the high-rise area.
Therefore, the wall can only be built after they and Lin Ting's family from 1207 collect some water.
After hearing what Lei Minghu said, Han Ying suddenly realized this problem.
Because the base had water supply, she had previously ignored the issue of water.
Although there is water access to the base, the water flow is very small.
In addition to the food and daily necessities for the whole family, it would probably take a long time to save enough water to build a wall.
Lu Yuan pulled Lei Minghu aside and whispered to him:
"The man we bought bricks from has dug several deep wells and can pump up a lot of water every day."
"We get all this water from him. One piece of cactus can be exchanged for several buckets of water."
"We have to go out again tomorrow night. We still have some at home. You can take a few buckets back when you go back."
The water in their house can't just appear out of thin air, it must have a source.
"How can that be? That's what you exchanged for the cactus. I'll give it to you in points."
Lei Minghu shook his head. Han Ying and Lu Yuan had already helped them a lot. They couldn't take advantage of them in the water, right?
"Okay, I'll settle your wages later. You've been busy here for a few days. How many points should I give you per day?"
The two families get along well and have frequent interactions with each other.
If even a few buckets of water had to be counted so clearly, then how should they calculate the things they usually asked Lei Minghu and others to help with?
"Okay then, let's take it back with us when we go back later."
Lei Minghu also understood Lu Yuan's meaning. The two families lived close to each other and could help each other.
It took a long time to build the wall today, and we had agreed that Lin Xiaoli would be given 5 points for 1.5 hours.
She worked for 4.5 hours today, so Han Ying gave her 15 points directly.
When Lin Xiaoli saw the 15 points, she was stunned.
She could actually earn 15 points a day.
