Chapter 78 Coal Mine Accident
Linkou Commune.
Coal mine.
Zhao Dahai followed Zhao Yi's advice and not only gave the wine that Zhao Yi gave him to the managers stationed at the coal mine of the steel plant, but also bought half a pound of pork and sent it over.
After switching from working in the coal mine to working on the ground, I now only need to screen the coal on the ground. I separate the coal according to its size and put the best coal into one area and the rest into another area.
Steel mills need the best coal for steelmaking. The inferior coal is sold to the nearest county or region for household use.
"jump!"
A loud noise was heard and the ground began to tremble. After the panic, everyone realized that there were still many people working in the coal mine.
Immediately, the steel plant management began to mobilize everyone to start the rescue mission, and at the same time made a phone call to the steel plant, asking them to send people over to help with the rescue.
It was already afternoon when the news reached Wangou Village.
Li Dequan's eyes were red and he rushed along the way without saying a word. Li Daju followed behind Wu Lan, and even Zhao Lao Da's wife brought her two children crying as they rushed to the coal mine.
At this time, the coal mine was in chaos.
Everyone was busy with rescue at this time.
Even the steel plant temporarily borrowed vehicles from the bus station and sent a number of people with tools over.
"Leader, if something happens to my man, how much compensation can I get?"
Li Daju's words almost made Li Dequan's eyes pop out. Why ask for compensation at this time? Shouldn't he ask the leader to save people first? This operation made Li Dequan confused.
Li Dequan was about to take a few steps towards the collapsed cave entrance when he was stopped by the coal mine staff.
"Comrade, we have already launched a rescue operation. You should not go over and cause trouble."
The staff maintaining order reached out and stopped Li Dequan.
"Superboy, Superboy."
Li Dequan and Wu Lan cried out heart-wrenchingly.
Li Daju was looking at the coal mine curiously at this time, with a calm look on his face.
This made Zhao Lao Da's wife, who came with them, wonder if Li Daju was a fool.
But at this moment, he was concerned about whether something had happened to Boss Zhao, and he didn't have time to care about Li Daju.
"dad."
Hearing the shouting, Li Chao missed his parents a little. He put down his tools and walked towards the entrance of the coal mine. As soon as he arrived, he saw his parents' eyes were red. He quickly stepped forward and hugged his father.
"Did something happen at home? Did someone bully you?"
It was the first time that Li Chao saw his father's expression like this, and he felt as if his heart was burning with pain.
"I heard that the coal mine collapsed, and I thought something happened to you, so I rushed over here. I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay. We're not going to do this job anymore, let's go home."
Li Dequan said while holding Li Chao's hand.
"Dad, even if I quit this job, I can't leave now. The mine needs help with rescue, and I don't want to go back now."
Li Chao shook his head and rejected his parents' suggestion. He felt reluctant to go home immediately. There were still many people in the mine waiting for rescue from above. One more person meant more strength.
"Mom and Dad, you go back first. Once the rescue work is completed here, I will quit my job and go home. Don't worry, I will pay attention to this problem."
Li Chao was about to leave after saying this.
"Is Boss Chao under the mine?"
When Tang Lian said this, her throat felt as if someone was pinching it, and tears rolled down her eyes as soon as she said it.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. Brother Zhao is not in the mine. He was assigned to help with odd jobs in the canteen when he first arrived. He is responsible for carrying the supplies purchased by the canteen. He does not need to go down to the mine. By the way, aunt, Uncle Dahai is not in the mine either. It's very chaotic here now. You should go home first."
After saying this, Li Chao turned around and walked back to the rescue team.
When Li Daju heard that Zhao Dahai was fine, she seemed to be more relieved. She looked around and waited until Li Dequan, Wu Lan and Tanglian were about to return to the village before she left the coal mine with them.
At this time, several large trucks arrived. As they approached the coal mine, many people jumped off the trucks with tools in hand and rushed towards the cave entrance.
"Xiao Lian, be happy. It's good that everyone is okay. It's good that everyone is okay."
Wu Lan comforted Tang Lian, and it seemed as if she was talking to herself.
As for Li Daju, Wu Lan didn't want to talk to her. If Li Daju asked for compensation as soon as she arrived at the mine today, and Zhao Dahai heard about it, he would be beaten to a pulp.
When they came here, they were all very worried, fearing that something might have happened to their families. Now that they have received the news that they are safe, they feel relieved.
Wangou Village.
As Tang Lian walked home, she ran into Zhao Laowu who was returning home with a backpack on his back.
"Sister-in-law, where have you been? Why are you still crying? Whoever bullied you, I'll chop him to pieces."
As Zhao Laowu said this, he was about to go to the woodshed to get an axe.
"No one bullied me. This afternoon we were chatting under a big tree in the team, and suddenly a man came running over in a hurry, saying that there was an accident in the coal mine and a landslide had crushed many people under the mine.
I was so scared at that time that I rushed to the mine with your nephew and niece. ”
Tang Lian hadn't finished speaking yet.
"Is my big brother okay?"
Zhao Laowu asked anxiously and wanted to rush to the commune as he spoke.
"Your eldest brother is fine. He was helping out in the cafeteria, carrying things. He didn't go down into the mine. The three of us from Wangou Village were lucky that none of us were in the mine."
Tang Lian said quickly.
"It's all right, it's all right."
Zhao Laowu patted his chest.
When the news reached the county town, the two uncles rode their bicycles with the two aunts to Wangou Village overnight.
Went straight to the Zhao family courtyard.
I saw Li Daju busy cooking in the yard.
Second aunt Zhao Qin looked at Li Daju with red eyes.
"Where's my brother, sister-in-law?"
Sister-in-law Zhao Yu also asked hurriedly.
"Your brother is working in the coal mine. He didn't leave the mine and he's fine. I saw him helping to move things over there. I didn't go over to make trouble when I saw he was fine."
Li Daju said quickly.
The four people who rushed over immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the sad expressions on their faces disappeared.
Li Daju hurried to the kitchen to make sugar-water eggs for several people.
"Sister-in-law, why don't you persuade my elder brother not to work in the coal mine? It's too dangerous."
Sister Zhao Yu thought for a moment and said.
"It's okay. Your brother is lucky. Besides, he doesn't need to go down the mine. It's not dangerous."
Li Daju quickly shook her head. With a salary of 26 yuan a month, who would support the family if she didn't go to work? Life is so much better now. If she comes back to work, the family will have no income. How can the three children go to school? Can the family live so easily?
Li Daju's words choked the two sisters-in-law. What did it mean to be lucky and safe? If something happened, it would be too late to regret. However, seeing Li Daju like this, they knew that it was useless to persuade her.
They can't just give Zhao Dahai twenty-six per month so that he doesn't have to go to work.
Knowing that the person was fine, they stopped talking about this topic and started talking about Zhao Yi instead.
"I heard that Xiaoyi is now a maintenance worker at the regional department store?"
My second uncle changed the subject.
