At eight o'clock in the morning, most of the people who were going to clean up garbage and sludge in Changhong Community had gathered at the gate of the community.
There was a huge group of people, forming a long queue.
The Municipal Office sent two staff members, a man and a woman, to lead everyone in cleaning up the sludge.
Those who had the conditions at home put on masks and gloves, and those who didn't had the conditions stuffed two rolls of tissues into their nostrils.
The community has been flooded for two months and is filled with all kinds of household garbage. Now it's being exposed to the sun, and the smell is as bad as it can be.
Su Keke and Grandma Qiao covered themselves tightly in long sleeves and long pants, baseball caps, masks, gloves, and Martin boots.
When cleaning the mud, it is actually best to wear rain boots. No matter how dirty the surface of the shoes is, you can just rinse them with water when you get home.
It’s a pity that Su Keke forgot to stock up on rain boots before, and she didn’t go out to look for them, so she had to settle for the next best thing and wear black Martin boots.
The other people on the 20th floor were also dressed neatly, wearing masks and gloves tightly.
Now the seven of them are standing in the middle of the team in Building 12, Area D.
When Su Keke received the news that she had to go out to clean up the garbage yesterday, she sent 50 disposable medical masks to each of Lu Mei and Shi Huan's families.
Lu Mei was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling and said she was worried about not having a mask.
The municipal office requires that each household only have two people participate in garbage cleaning, so Lu Mei wanted to let her son Chen Li rest at home.
I didn't expect that this kid still didn't do it, saying that everyone else had to go out to work, so why should he be left alone at home?
"What do you mean this kid? What's his train of thought?" Lu Mei shook her head in anger. This silly boy of hers actually didn't know how to enjoy his blessings!
Some people who have good family conditions and have sufficient food supplies are really unwilling to go out just for three meals a day.
Cleaning up these dirty and smelly garbage may even cause you to get sick. It's not worth it no matter how you look at it!
These people find excuses to shirk the above regulations.
Some pretended to be sick, some said they had their period, and some simply pretended not to be at home, but most people were quite cooperative.
At this moment, the staff in charge of Changhong Community have begun to introduce themselves.
The man said his name was Hong Zhengguo and he was a clerk in the Municipal Office. His voice was steady and loud. Su Keke looked up in the crowd.
He was wearing a light blue shirt with grey trousers, had a short crew cut, and was about 40 years old. He looked tired, and it seemed he had been running around a lot in the past few days.
The woman's name was Fang Yalu, and she said she was an office clerk. Her voice sounded delicate. Su Keke looked at the two people standing in front of her.
She is indeed a rich lady. She wears sun-protective clothing, a sun hat, tight jeans and high heels, and an N95 mask.
Su Keke just wanted to say, is wearing high heels to clean up the mud a joke?
I guess this woman must be a relative of some leader, and she is just here to go through the motions and get some supplies.
It is said that these staff members of the municipal office not only have three meals provided, but also receive rice, flour, grain and oil every month.
Su Keke twitched the corner of her mouth. There were many things like this before the end of the world. She didn't expect that even in the end of the world, there are still these shady operations. It will be even more difficult for ordinary people to survive!
After the two men finished their self-introductions, several men and women in chef uniforms came over carrying several foam boxes.
"Is breakfast being served? Oh my god! I'm suddenly so excited! I haven't eaten anything hot in a long time!"
"Look at your useless energy!"
"What kind of breakfast do you think the government will give us?"
"Please refer to the relief food distributed, and you will know that it is not delicious!"
"As long as I can fill my stomach, I don't care about whether it's nutritious or not, or whether it tastes good or not. It's better than being hungry at home."
In each team, many people were whispering about what the government would give them for breakfast.
"Keke! What do you think breakfast will be?" Shi Huan, who was standing behind Su Keke, leaned over and asked.
"I guess it's definitely not rice porridge or something like that!" Su Keke said casually.
She and Grandma Qiao had just had breakfast at home, so she was not interested in the breakfast provided by the government.
"Why? I think porridge is very reasonable. It doesn't consume rice and it warms the stomach!" Shi Huan asked puzzledly.
"If they were distributing porridge, they would have asked us to bring our own bowls. Where do you think the government is going to get so many disposable bowls and spoons for everyone now?"
"Also, there's garbage and mud all around us. This environment isn't suitable for eating porridge! I guess it's either compressed biscuits or bread! If you think better, it's steamed buns!"
"Oh my god! Coco, you're so right! I saw the people in front of me have already received their breakfast."
"A big vegetable bun and a bottle of milk in a box!"
Chen Li, who was standing in front of Su Keke and Grandma Qiao, said excitedly.
"Keke, you're so awesome!" Shi Huan gave Su Keke a thumbs up.
"Well, what a coincidence! The vegetable buns are delicious! I like them!" Su Keke was humble and quickly changed the subject.
After everyone finished breakfast, Hong Zhengguo and Fang Yalu came over with a blueprint and assigned cleaning areas to everyone.
Every house below the third floor of the building has been flooded.
Therefore, the areas that need to be cleaned are the first and second floors of each building, as well as the green areas and public facilities areas of the community.
Everyone’s task today is to clean up the neighborhood where they live.
The streets and shops along the streets will be cleaned up tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and further arrangements will be made at that time.
Su Keke and the other seven people were not very lucky. They were assigned by Hong Zhengguo to clean the green areas and public facilities areas of the community.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that these places are large and full of dirt. There are a lot of ants and mosquitoes in the trees, flowers and plants that were drowned by the flood.
This does not even include the various household garbage thrown down by the residents upstairs and the sand, gravel and silt after the flood receded.
Those who were assigned to clean the first and second floors of the building had smiles on their faces.
Everyone was very proactive and picked up shovels and brooms and rushed upstairs!
Although in terms of personnel arrangements, the number of people cleaning the public areas downstairs is twice as many as those cleaning the upstairs areas.
But if Su Keke and the others could choose for themselves, they would definitely choose to clean the floor.
However, the people on the 20th floor didn't say anything more. Since everything had been assigned, they decided to get to work quickly and finish the sooner they could go home and rest.
Grandma Qiao took the shovel distributed by the municipal office, and Su Keke carried the iron bucket. The seven of them spread out in an area and began to work seriously.
"That Officer Hong! Why should we clean up the downstairs? What is the basis for your distribution? I think this distribution is not reasonable at all!"
"That's right! You can't assign us to clean the dirtiest and most tiring areas just because we're at the back of the line!"
"We demand a rezoning of the area. Your arrangement is unreasonable!"
Su Keke and the others didn't say anything, but that doesn't mean others didn't have any opinions.
There are many people who always take a pack of tissues when they go out to eat, and take a few extra plastic bags when they go to the supermarket to buy vegetables. They always take advantage of others.
We all have three meals a day, so why should I work harder than others?
"Well... don't get excited, everyone! Because the regions are different, it's really hard to be fair to everyone. I hope you can understand our difficulties!"
Hong Zhengguo wiped the sweat from his face and explained.
