When Su Keke's capsule house was above Lingcheng, a prompt sound was issued, asking her whether she wanted to land on the spot?
It was just past seven in the morning and Su Keke and Grandma Qiao were still asleep.
"arrive?"
Su Keke sat up from the bed and went downstairs as quickly as possible. Through the surveillance screen, she saw Ling Cheng whom she had not seen for a long time.
After the tsunami, although it took more than eight months to recover, many places are still in ruins.
In the entire Lingcheng, there is only a piece of low-rise houses in the middle. There is a small road in front of the houses and some farmlands opposite.
The place is not big and there don't seem to be many residents. Su Keke feels that there are fewer people in Lingcheng now than in Niujia Village.
The current scene is nothing compared to Lingcheng before the disaster, which was full of tall buildings and bright lights.
Just take Lingcheng before the tsunami and earthquake. After experiencing various natural disasters for two years, the situation was countless times better than it is now.
"well……"
Su Keke sighed lightly and let the capsule house float in the air. She planned to have breakfast with Grandma Qiao before going down.
Lingcheng now has really returned to the time before liberation. It seems that everything is lacking. They have just returned, so they cannot show off their wealth in front of others.
No matter what, you have to get familiar with the situation here first.
"Keke! Why did you get up so early today?"
Grandma Qiao's voice came from the second floor. She gathered her hair with both hands and slowly walked down the stairs.
Seeing Su Keke staring at the surveillance screen in the living room in a daze, he took a few quick steps and stood in front of the TV.
"Are we in Lingcheng now? How did Lingcheng become like this after the tsunami?"
Grandma Qiao stared at Ling Cheng in the picture and said in surprise.
Although the entire Lingcheng had been largely submerged by the tsunami when they left, the situation was urgent and the conditions outside were too bad. Grandma Qiao had no time to think about what Lingcheng would become in the future.
But it is different now. In the early morning with a cool breeze, in the entire camera view, apart from the collapsed ruins, there is only a small area with simple houses.
A good city has become this desolate state because of an earthquake and tsunami. Grandma Qiao felt very upset when she saw it.
After all, she had lived in this city for decades, and the best decades of her life had been spent here. In Grandma Qiao's heart, she could not accept Lingcheng like this.
"Grandma Qiao, don't be sad! Everything will get better slowly. Look! Haven't people built houses and planted vegetables again? Let's go! Let's go to the kitchen to make breakfast first, and when we're full, we'll go downstairs to see what's going on."
"If we're lucky enough, we might even run into someone we know!"
After hearing what Su Keke said, Grandma Qiao's mood finally improved a little.
The two of them quickly went to the bathroom to wash up, and then happily went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
…
At 7:30 in the morning, Chen Da got up early to make breakfast.
In front of the stone house they lived in, there was an earthen stove made of discarded bricks, which they usually used together with Lei Mu and his son and Lin Xiao.
The new Lingcheng base still uses the original points system, and points can be earned by clearing ruins and working in the fields.
Everyone can then use their points to exchange for food and supplies from the government.
Chen Li and Meng Yi work in an official patrol team. Their salary is paid monthly based on points. Their treatment is slightly better than Chen Da's work in the fields, but the family still lives in poverty.
In the morning, they just steam some sweet potatoes and potatoes. It’s simple to make and tastes filling.
"Old Chen! Are you making breakfast?"
The wooden door of the next room was opened with a creaky sound, and Lei Mu greeted Chen Da as he stepped out of the door.
Then, Lei Wenbin also yawned and slowly walked out of the stone house.
"Yeah! Let's steam some sweet potatoes for breakfast! What about you? What are you going to eat in the morning? Do you want to steam some together?"
Chen Da suggested with a smile.
Because the two families only had one stove and one broken pot, in order to save time, they basically brought out the ingredients themselves and cooked together.
Lin Xiao lives in a stone house with Lei Mu and his son, and now they basically get along like a family.
"Okay! Then I'll go into the house and get some potatoes!" Lei Mu said and walked back to his stone house.
Lei Wenbin scooped up mountain spring water in his hands and began to rinse his mouth and wash his face.
Under the current conditions, we can’t rely on toothpaste and toothbrush. It’s good enough to have something to eat and enough food to eat.
About half an hour passed, and Chen Li rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked out of the stone house.
"Dad! I'm a little late today. I have to go to work quickly. It's not good for a captain to be late!"
As Chen Li spoke, he walked to the mountain spring in front to wash up, then picked up two sweet potatoes, took two bites without even peeling the skin, and hurried out.
The twenty people in the patrol team are now divided into two teams of ten people each.
During the day, ten people were led by deputy captain Chen Li to repair the road. Speaking of road repair, it actually meant clearing a road through the ruins in the city.
Isn’t it said that if you want to get rich you must first build roads?
Of course, Chen Guodong is not thinking about getting rich right now. His main goal is to ensure that these one hundred people have enough food and clothing.
If there were any extra supplies after he had enough food and clothing, he would send people to the next city to exchange them for some supplies that he didn't have here, such as the warm clothes that he urgently needed for the winter.
Although the situation in the neighboring city is not much better than his place, people still have to go out, so road construction must be put on the agenda immediately.
The residents of the base basically work in the fields, so as to increase the output of vegetables, fruits and melons.
The only place where people can be drawn is the patrol.
There are few people here and the public security is relatively stable, so Chen Guodong discussed with the two team leaders Meng Yi and Chen Li to allocate half of the people to repair the road.
Chen Li and Meng Yi had no other opinions, and they also felt that it would be more reliable to clear the road as soon as possible.
At night, the ten people led by Captain Meng Yi were on duty outside the new base.
Although there are not many people now, we are still worried about any trouble, so there must be patrol teams on duty throughout the base at night.
Therefore, Chen Li and Meng Yi, the two old partners, now have to stagger their working hours.
One is working the day shift and the other is working the night shift. The one working the morning shift had just left in a hurry, while the one working the night shift had just gone to bed.
Before Chen Da went out, he took two large steamed sweet potatoes and placed them next to Meng Yi's bed.
There are no beds in their rooms. They just sleep on hay spread on the ground. They are good at enduring hardships.
After breakfast, Chen Da, Lei Mu, Lei Wenbin and Lin Xiao went to work in the fields with other residents of the base.
Assistant Mayor Xiao Liu brought cotton seeds to the fields today and planted them with everyone.
Although we cannot expect the cotton to mature this winter, everyone will definitely have cotton clothes to wear next winter.
