236: Fire in the repair shop
Seeing that the two old ladies were about to start fighting again, Yu Xiaoye was in a state of panic:
"Okay, let's put everything down and go out. Mom, you and Aunt Jinhua wait for me outside."
The two old ladies didn't really fight in the dormitory. In front of outsiders, they didn't want to bring shame to Yu Xiaoye, so they immediately stopped talking.
Shao Xia couldn't help laughing while watching from the side. These two old ladies are so funny!
However, there was also a hint of envy in Shao Xia's expression.
I envy others for having parents who love them, but then I think about myself, who is thousands of miles away from home without any relatives around me.
The last time I went home to visit my family was more than a year ago. It was a one-month home visit leave. Excluding the time spent on the journey and a few days delayed by other things, I only stayed at home for half a month.
Moreover, their family was scattered all over the country. His father was supporting construction in the southwest and only came back every three years.
When her father came back, she was not there. When she went back, her father was not there. She had not seen her father for almost five years and almost forgot what he looked like.
She also has a younger sister who is working in the countryside in the south, and they haven't seen each other for almost two years.
Now, at home in the city, there are only my married sister and my frail and sick mother.
A family of five is separated into four places, and it is unknown when the whole family can be reunited.
Now when I see others having their parents protecting them, I am really envious.
The two put their things away and placed the bedding on the bunks they had chosen to take up space and indicate that there was someone there.
The suitcases were stacked against the north wall, and the washbasins were placed in the outer room.
Yu Xiaoye looked at his living environment again, wondering if he could adapt to this new life.
She had never lived in a dormitory before, let alone a dormitory like this where more than ten people slept on a large bunk bed. She suspected that she would probably not be able to sleep tonight.
However, she knew the difficulties she would face before coming here, so she was mentally prepared and had to work hard to adapt to the new environment.
It will be fine!
If others can do it, she can do it too!
Yu Xiaoye encouraged himself in his heart, then left the dormitory with Shao Xia.
Outside, Yu Jiahui and Lao Pu had already surveyed the surrounding terrain.
Yu Jiahui warned with some concern:
"The rows of dormitories around here are a bit too densely packed. A row of houses stretches 50 to 60 meters together. I guess there's no firewall in between. The houses are made of adobe and covered with grass. I saw a lot of firewood piled up at the door of some dormitories. I'm afraid if a fire starts in the future, it will burn a large area. So you must pay attention to fire safety. If you see signs of trouble, run as far away as you can. Don't go any closer, okay? At any time, saving your life is the first priority!"
Yu Xiaoye was surprised when he heard what his father said.
Dad is so foresighted!
She even suspected that she had spoiled the story for her father beforehand, otherwise how could he have guessed that there would be a fire later?
However, the fire in the book did not break out in the dormitory, but in a nearby repair shop.
For unknown reasons, a fire broke out in the repair shop. It was at night and the fire was very fierce. By the time others discovered it, thick smoke was already billowing. By the time the staff from the site rushed over to put out the fire, the house was already ablaze.
However, in order to rescue national supplies, a group of people rushed into the repair shop without hesitation. As a result, the roof of the repair shop collapsed and fell down completely.
At that time, Cui Xinrong, the head of their propaganda department, had already rushed out the door holding several rubber tires from the tractor, but he saw that the roof was about to collapse and many educated youth and farm workers were still inside. If he left, all the people in the house would be burned to death.
So Cui Xinrong abandoned the tire and used his body to prop up the collapsed beams, giving the people in the house hope of escape.
Some of those people escaped, but Cui Xinrong fell into the fire, suffered severe burns all over his body, and was in critical condition several times.
After several major operations, his life and completely disfigured body were saved.
The fire also caused three deaths and two others with moderate burns, making it a fairly serious fire accident.
In fact, there were not many supplies in the repair shop, and all the property added up was not as much as Cui Xinrong's medical expenses, not to mention the loss of three lives and two severely burned patients.
If it were the 21st century, with a fire of that magnitude, no one would risk their life to save those things.
But in this era where collective interests are above everything else, where people are not afraid of sacrifice and everyone strives to be a hero, there are people who will not hesitate to sacrifice their lives to rescue even insignificant property.
This is the era!
Yu Xiaoye was born in the 21st century and has been taught the concept of "people-oriented" since childhood. Of course, she cannot agree with the current extreme ideas. So if a fire really happens, she does not have the courage to sacrifice her life to save a few tractor tires.
After all, if the tractor tires are gone, they can be produced again.
If her life is gone, it will be gone forever. There is only one Yu Xiaoye in the world. Although he is not brilliant, he is irreplaceable!
So she would never die for those material things.
Of course, she couldn't just stand by and watch someone die, so she had to do her best to avoid accidents. This was one of the reasons why she took the risk and came to the propaganda team.
Another reason was Shao Xia. She felt that Shao Xia was a good young lady and should not be raped, become pregnant, and then cruelly abandon the child, leading to the rest of her life in endless pain.
Also, she wanted to find an opportunity for her second brother and see if there was any way to solve his work problems.
Of course, another major reason for coming here was because I was coerced by Jia Song.
No matter what, since you are here now, just settle down here with peace of mind.
Do what you can, don't cause trouble, and don't interfere in the affairs of the male and female protagonists. Never get involved in things that you shouldn't get involved in!
Yu Xiaoye prepared himself mentally along the way, and a few people came to the road ahead.
Just arrived on the road, looking from a distance
I saw Jia Song standing at the door of the Propaganda Department's office, gesticulating and looking very excited.
There were quite a few people around watching the fun.
"What happened to Secretary Jia? It seems like he had an argument with someone?" Yu Jiahui was tall and could see far, so he was the first to notice that something was wrong.
Yu Xiaoye looked closely and saw that Jia Song's aggressive posture really looked like he was arguing with someone. She couldn't help but mutter:
"Why is Jia Ge acting like a shrew, quarreling with people wherever he goes?"
Xu Ying reminded sensitively:
"Don't bring up the shrew in everything. It has nothing to do with the shrew."
Yu Xiaoye couldn't help but quicken his pace and trot over.
Yu Jiahui followed beside her with big strides, and his one stride could catch up with two steps of his daughter.
Suddenly, Yu Jiahui discovered something and said:
"Hey, aren't those two female educated youth who had an argument with Officer Jia from our company?"
"Who is it?"
Yu Xiaoye was small and couldn't see what was ahead, so he could only jump up.
After jumping up, she didn't see who was following whom, so she asked again:
"Who is Daddy?"
"I can't remember his name, but he's from our company!"
