The whole night was accompanied by continuous aftershocks and the villagers did not sleep all night. The radio called for a gathering of the neighborhood committee, and Wang Xu took Gu Xi to the neighborhood committee with a flashlight.
After sending the person there, Wang Xu went to the pig farm to check the situation.
Xiang Qian was particularly responsible and had been sleeping in the pig farm's office these days. When Wang Xu went there, he was checking the situation.
"Wang Xu, you're here. I checked him out. He's not injured. He's eating well after feeding him. He's fine. He was just a little noisy during the day. I thought it was because of the hot weather."
Wang Xu watched several villagers vying to feed the pigs, and remembered how Gu Xi's eyes lit up every time she heard the word "delicious", and he couldn't help laughing.
Xiang Qian thought he was laughing at the pigs' carefreeness: "Pigs are like this, they are very happy as long as they have something to eat, and nothing can affect their appetite."
Wang Xu nodded in agreement: "There is nothing that can't be solved by eating."
Xu Zhengrong received the provincial leaders at the neighborhood committee: "Village Chief Xu, this time it is really thanks to your reminder that our nearby villages suffered the least losses. This time it was a major earthquake in Hebei, and many people died. It's a pity."
Xu Zhengrong read the newspaper that the village subscribed to in the morning and it had already been published: "The losses are heavy, and the worst hit are those compatriots who have been displaced."
Wu Yao also looked serious: "Is there anything we can do to help? Like donating money or things."
The leader's eyes lit up: "Yes, we can help as much as we can. If everyone gives a little love, I will go back and start a fundraising. You are really thoughtful."
The leader came and left in a hurry.
Wu Yao launched a fundraising campaign on the radio to help the people in the disaster-stricken areas overcome their difficulties. The villagers also responded positively, sincerely and voluntarily.
Gu Xi returned home and saw that Wang Xu had already returned: "Your uncle and Yue Hongming should go to the disaster area for rescue. The village is collecting donations. Do you want to bring them something?"
Wang Xu looked at Gu Xi seriously, a little tangled: "Gu Xi, the transport team has sent donations over, I want to volunteer to help."
Whenever Wang Xu called her full name, it meant the seriousness of the matter. Usually he would call her "wife" in a casual manner.
"Go ahead if you want to. I support you. Just be safe. I've learned first aid and basic trauma management, so I can go and help. How about we organize a volunteer team and go together?"
"No, it's very dangerous there. I can go there physically, but you can't help with your small body. You can't go."
Gu Xi knew that he would not agree easily, so she did not insist and went to ask Secretary Wu later.
"If you're going, pack your spare clothes and other things you need to bring. Also, go to Brother Hong to buy some more supplies to send to the disaster area."
Wang Xu suddenly had an idea: "Wife, how about asking Lao Hong to donate the goods? He can show his face, so that if something happens in the future... it will be a guarantee."
Gu Xi thought it was feasible: "Your idea is good, we can help each other. I will go to the neighborhood committee once, and I will also purchase the donations initiated by the village."
Accountant Zheng from the neighborhood committee was busy recording the supplies and posted a roll of honor so that everyone could clearly see the details of their donations.
Gu Xi felt that the three cadres of the village committee were really honest and capable. If every leader was like this, the people at the grassroots would be happy and healthy.
Seeing that they were almost done, Gu Xi made a suggestion: "Leaders, do you want to organize volunteers to go for rescue? Wang Xu's transport team sent him to deliver relief supplies. I also wanted to help treat the injuries as a volunteer, but he disagreed. If there are more people, I can go."
Wu Yao was speechless. "He disagreed because he was worried about your safety. You use me as a tool, so I have to consider your safety. Everyone is healthy. If something happens, how can I explain it to your family? You are always giving me problems."
Gu Xi also understood everyone's difficulties: "Well, just follow the leader's arrangements."
Wu Yao tapped the table with his fingers. Xu Zhengrong said beside him, "Ask. Ask the higher-ups and the people about everything. Then we can make a decision."
Wu Yao nodded, "That's the only way. Let's go and ask what qualifications the volunteers need to meet. You think it's just farming, which doesn't require any technical skills. After we ask, we'll see if anyone signs up to be a volunteer."
Wang Xu rode his bike to the town to find Hong Qin and proposed his own solution. Hong Qin readily agreed and immediately prepared 500 kilograms of coarse grains, medicines for treating external injuries, and some basic wear-resistant clothes.
Gu Xi mentioned women's products on the village's material list: "Everyone is thinking about food, but toilet paper and menstrual belts are actually very important. Underwear is a necessity."
Basically no one opposed what Gu Xi proposed. Accountant Zheng took Yin Jie and immediately went to the town to purchase. Gu Xi and Wang Xu donated 200 yuan, Ye Xinchen and Lin Ling donated 200 yuan, and Sheng Huaian and Ye Qiu donated 100 yuan.
Wan Hexing and Yin Jie donated 100 yuan each, the leaders donated 100 yuan each, and the other villagers and educated youth donated five or ten yuan, and some donated one or two yuan, all as a token of their heartfelt gratitude.
Xu Zhengrong was moved and proud when he saw this kind gesture. Qingmiao Village was the village that donated the most money and effort in the whole province. The leader held Xu Zhengrong's hand and said, "We will fully cooperate with Qingmiao Village in its future development. I was also highly praised by the higher-ups this time, and I may be promoted again. It all depends on your support."
Xu Zhengrong waved his hand and said: "In the face of national crisis, I just want to do my best. I don't expect anything in return. I just hope that the victims can get through this difficult time safely."
The leaders now like Xu Zhengrong more and more: "Good, good, your ideological awareness is high enough. Qingmiao Village will definitely be mentioned in the commendation meeting later. We will never forget it in the future.
There are also continuing volunteers who can start work as long as they sign up and receive a half-day unified training. It is best if they are young and healthy and have some knowledge of first aid. "
Xu Zhengrong understood: "Okay, I will go back and gather them immediately. We will set out tomorrow morning at the latest, along with the prepared supplies."
Wang Xu had already set off for the disaster area, and the task of transporting volunteers and supplies was given to Yin Jie and Wan Hexing.
Yin Jie scratched his head and said, "Sister-in-law, you acted without authorization. If Brother Xu knew that I sent you there, he would definitely beat me up."
Gu Xi had already thought of an excuse and took a sip of soda: "The volunteer mission organized by the village has nothing to do with personal identity. It can't be blamed on you. The village chief is responsible."
Qingmiao Village finally sent out a team of volunteers headed by educated youth, and each person was rewarded with full work points.
They are: He Weizhong, Bai Tao, Xiang Qian, Lu Yun, Gu Xi, Wei Qingzhe, Wu Yue, Lin Ling, Ye Xinchen, Gao Jinghong, Li Tong, Sheng Huaian, Ye Qiu, Xu Jiajia, Zheng Zirong, Wei Dashu and several young villagers.
The materials purchased by Accountant Zheng have been loaded onto the transport vehicle, and Yin Jie and Wan Hexing set off first.
The town leaders gathered volunteers from the town and various villages, and escorted them to the disaster area by nearby troops.
