The next afternoon, the weather was nice, with no sign of acid rain at all.
Grandma Qiao stayed at home with Tangyuan, while Su Keke drove a seven-seater commercial vehicle alone, carrying hundreds of protective suits and two hundred packages of Cheese Country's military rations to the official base.
As soon as she arrived at the base, Su Keke asked someone directly if Minister Li was there. She remembered that Manager Zhou said yesterday that the person in charge of the base seemed to be Minister Li.
Not long after, Su Keke followed the people on the construction site to Li Zheng's base office.
Due to the acid rain, the previously dilapidated tents and camp beds in the construction site dormitory at the foot of Arashiyama have all been cleaned up.
Instead, there are foldable container rooms.
A room is about 16 square meters, with an iron bunk bed on each side and a rectangular folding table in the middle. There are four people in one room, but the treatment is much better than living in a tent.
The entire construction site stopped for a morning, and everyone helped clean up and build the new dormitory.
Chen Da also got up early and asked Chen Li to drive his electric tricycle to take him to Lanshan Base before going to work.
After learning about the situation at the Lanshan base last night, Mayor Chen Guodong convened an emergency meeting overnight. In the end, everyone agreed to transport a batch of folding containers that the government had stockpiled before the natural disaster to serve as dormitories for the workers.
Acid rain has come, so earthquakes are likely to happen in the near future. Construction has just started at the Lanshan base, and the situation is very urgent. The second batch of workers and material transport teams must quickly keep up with the progress of the project.
Li Zheng's container office was also just built. It was a small, square room of 12 square meters. It contained a set of simple desks and chairs, a filing cabinet, and a few second-hand stools.
Despite such a harsh environment, Li Zheng was quite satisfied. After all, it was better than a tent, and he would not be afraid even if acid rain came again.
He had just sat down and tried out the newly moved table and chairs when he heard someone knocking on the door. He quickly stood up from his chair, cleared his throat and said, "Come in!"
"You are Minister Li, the person in charge of this base, right?" Su Keke asked politely.
"Who are you?" Li Zheng had not seen Su Keke last night. In response to Su Keke's question, he did not directly answer yes or no, nor did he enthusiastically invite her in. Instead, he asked in two words.
"Hello, Minister Li! My name is Su Keke, and I currently live in Lanshan Villa District. When I came here last night, it suddenly started to rain acid, so I didn't come back to see you. I came here again today just to donate some protective clothing and military rations to your base."
Su Keke finished her words in one breath, and Li Zheng gradually smiled as he listened.
They were in need of this kind of protective clothing against acid rain, and how come someone just happened to deliver it to their doorstep? Could it be that this little girl was the one who distributed protective clothing to the workers hiding under the camp beds last night?
"Then...then please come in and sit down! Xiao Wu, go and get some water."
Minister Li changed his serious expression and let Su Keke into the new office with a smile on his face.
Su Keke didn't mind Minister Li's different treatment. The government is in a difficult situation right now and they probably lack this kind of protective clothing.
After both of them sat down on the small stools, Su Keke went straight to the point and said that her car was parked outside the construction site and asked Minister Li to bring two people over to move the things.
At this time, Xiao Wu brought in two lunch boxes, each half filled with boiling water that was still steaming.
"Can't you find me a decent cup?"
When Li Zheng saw the two lunch boxes, he almost fainted, thinking, how can you let the girl drink like this?
Su Keke's mouth twitched, and she really had no intention of drinking water. She stood up from the stool and said she would take Li Zheng to her car.
"You! Go find two people to help!"
Li Zheng shook his head helplessly. After asking Xiao Wu to call for help, he followed Su Keke out.
…
"Coco! Why are you here again?"
It was a coincidence that Xiao Wu saw that everyone else was building the wall on the shelves, and only Chen Da and Lao Li were mixing sand and cement below. So he waved at them and asked them to go to the gate of the base to help Minister Li move things.
As soon as Chen Da walked out of the base gate, he saw Su Keke and Minister Li stopped beside a business car.
So he shouted to Su Keke from a distance.
This child is too disobedient. Yesterday, her Aunt Lu and Shi Huan reminded her not to go out unless necessary.
"Uncle Chen! I... I'm just delivering something to your base. I'll leave right after delivering it. I promise I won't come out again!"
Su Keke smiled and raised her right hand to Chen Da to assure him.
"Are these sent to our base?"
Li Zheng looked at the large truck of protective clothing and military rations, his eyes sparkling. Their base was in need of these things.
"Can I take a pack of these rations and open it to have a look?"
Although Li Zheng has never served in the army, he knows that military rations of various countries are rich in nutrition and contain all kinds of vitamins needed by the human body.
"Of course! These are the cheese country military rations I stockpiled before the natural disaster. They taste good. Give them to the workers as a snack!"
Su Keke took out a 5-jin bag of military rations and showed it to Li Zheng.
Li Zheng happily took it and opened it. Wow! There were so many big and small packages inside that he was shocked!
"There's also coffee and black tea? Are these two pills vitamin pills? Oh my! Cheese aside, this military ration is really good! I'll give it to everyone to try tonight!"
Li Zheng smiled and put the packages back into the boxes.
"Minister Li! Xiao Wu asked us to come and help!" Chen Da and Lao Li walked over and said at the same time.
"Okay! You two move all the protective clothing and military rations in the car to my office!"
"Okay!" Chen Da and Lao Li said at the same time.
In this way, the four of them ran back and forth several times and finally moved a car full of things to Li Zheng's office.
"Hey! What do you think is in the boxes that Uncle Chen and Uncle Li are carrying?"
Xiaojun secretly put his face close to Wang Gang and asked.
"It's probably protective clothing. I saw that the car was driven by Uncle Chen's neighbor girl!" Wang Gang said with a smile.
"You have a good eye, kid! You saw everything!"
Xiaojun smeared thick cement on a red brick, stuck it to the wall, and glanced at Wang Gang enviously.
"What's the point of seeing it? The girl doesn't like me!"
Wang Gang suddenly looked a little lost. No matter before or after the natural disaster, Wang Gang didn't dare to have any improper thoughts about a girl from a wealthy family like Uncle Chen's neighbor. After all, the gap between them was too big.
"What do you mean by 'look up' or 'look down'? I mean, did you see her delivering food to Uncle Chen?"
Uh~ It turns out that Xiaojun and Wang Gang have completely different focuses. One is looking at people while the other is actually looking to see if there is anything delicious!
Xiaojun remembered the chicken drumsticks Uncle Chen's neighbor gave him last night. They were so delicious! I can't help but drool now!
